Reverberations
Can you hear that deep, silent anger inside you, pounding like a heavy iron fist on a wooden door, banging relentlessly every time you notice the America of your dreams vanish more each and every day, instead becoming a most unwelcome nightmare that you are impotent to wake up from? Can you feel the hollow pain in your bones, the restlessness running through your veins every time another freedom is gutted or another right is eviscerated, every time your government climbs one more step up the stairwell of corporatism?
Can you feel the reverberations of resentment echoing in your mind every time a politician votes to expand the power of the elitist and corporate world, once more ignoring the will of the constituency? Can you feel the frustration of being impotent to the machinations of a government once defined as of, by and for the People serving only the interests of money and becoming a government of, by and for the corporatist world?
Can you feel the collective anger of millions as the embedded myth of American exceptionalism is quashed through the attainment of knowledge, transforming the fictions of good into the realities of wickedness, mutating what we once believed into an inconvenient truth? Can you feel the betrayal of millions who for decades have been made to believe in the American myth of a nation benign and altruistic, only to become aware that only wickedness, greed and criminality define the Empire, that beyond the smoke and mirrors America’s government is ruthless, corporatist and concerned only for the interests of the elite?
If you can indeed feel the passions of anger and resentment, of pain and restlessness, of frustration and a sense of betrayal, you are not alone, for growing in this country can be heard a silent anger by a silent majority that has realized over the course of the last six years that there is something fundamentally wrong taking shape in their country. Thanks in large measure to 9/11 and the rise of the Internet, millions of human beings throughout the globe have confronted the perpetual conditioning, brainwashing, deception and propaganda disseminated by government and business to control and manipulate humanity.
In the last six years, the myths and fictions of yesteryear have given way to the reality and truth of today, almost as if the paradigm shift caused by 9/11 has managed to create a mental tidal wave of knowledge and truth seeking. Almost as if 9/11 shook the foundations of thought and the precepts of the real, almost as if it awoke millions of humans from the doldrums of hypnosis, today in the present can we see both the reality of the past and the ominous trends of the future. Today, more than ever, the myth of America is being eroded, it is being revealed for what it really is, exposing the lies and the corruptions and the criminality that has for decades been the norm, both in government and with so-called leaders.
The growing vibrations now being felt are the recalcitrant tremors of an awakening populace sensing a profound decadence destroying the very fabric of America. Millions now see with the clear eyes of knowledge, leaving behind the myopic deceptions of propaganda and brainwashing. Millions now realize the lies and deceptions they have been forced to live in and with for so long, living a life full of purposeful charades and delusions, spoon fed to us on a daily basis by our political overlords and the complicit lackeys we once confused for journalists. The enemies of reality are thus exposed to the growing army of truth.
In the thirst for knowledge that has absorbed millions of Americans who are tired of the lies and distortions fed to us by corporatist journalists and corporatist politicians, a strong realization has dawned that among many adversaries We the People face in corporatist America, two do substantial damage to our collective power. Millions of us are now aware, thanks to the wonders of the Internet, that America’s two party system is but a charade hiding a two headed hydra, or duopoly, oftentimes espousing the same ideology and platform. Indeed, since 9/11, one has become more conservative, thus more fascist, while the other, once liberal minded, has become what the conservative one used to be, practically replacing it with the same conservative thought of yesteryear. Yet both are mere fronts for the corporatist world, hiding the fact that democracy is extinct and choice is but a fantasy. In this post 9/11 world, both parties have shifted further right, further in pursuit of war, and further in the direction of imperial hubris. The end of one regime in 2008 will give rise to another, again switching heads but little else, once again having to prove to its masters that it can wage war and conquest, this time competently.
By the same token, the corporatist media has also become over the years, but especially since 9/11, a very dangerous adversary to We the People. This institution has the power of the television, the greatest weapon of mass control ever devised, and thus it possesses the power of influence, of control, and of concocting views and opinions. This adversary, once a bastion of truth and integrity, has over the years become a tool of corporatism to dictate reality and its version of truth to the people. It lies and deceives to protect the interests of corporations and the state, and its journalists turned propagandists do nothing to dispel the rumor that they are nothing but stenographers to those in power. The corporatist media has over the last six years hidden inconvenient truths from the people, as well as distracted us from reality through the tele-trash they saturate the airwaves with. By hiding truth now known through the Internet and telling us the endless lies of the state as if they are sacrosanct its true nature has been exposed for all to see. A greater adversary to truth and We the People does not presently exist.
Both adversaries are further discussed below.
Adversary One: Political Duopoly
Millions see that government and the corporate world have fused together, becoming bedfellows in the rape of the citizenry, slowly but surely transforming the world entire in the unyielding shadow of a small elite. Through greed and the addiction to power corporatism has been birthed, becoming an anti-Christ to billions of human beings, condemning all but a few at the top to evolved serfdom and slavery. The awakened have become aware that corporatism has become the enemy of the people, the greatest threat to humankind, the 21st century’s version of totalitarianism. The awakened have been forced to confront the truth that the state has itself stopped serving the people, becoming not our servant, but a malicious adversary, our corporatist master. In present day Earth, six and a half billion human beings are the enemy of the state, the corporatist state.
With new understanding and realized truths millions are uncovering their eyes to a matrix of deception and concocted fictions, seeing for the first time reality once hidden through a dark, impenetrable veil of fantasy. Today there exists a growing understanding that elected representatives have become the prostitutes of control and the elite, perpetually bending over, unzipping pants and welcoming in the thrusting commands of their masters. Impregnated by greed and power, inhabiting a cesspool of corruption and decadence, the so-called representatives of the people thus spawn the progeny of corruption and criminality, nurturing and rearing the growing corporatism creeping over our lives.
It is now understood that those elected to represent the people are traitors to the principles by which America stands, betraying their sworn duty to protect and defend the Constitution, our rights and freedoms. They have and continue to commit treason in the pursuit of protecting the interests of a foreign nation over those of the United States, choosing to accept subservience to today’s debased version of Sparta (not to mention today’s version of apartheid South Africa) while ignoring the long term health of America.
It is easily seen how these charlatans, born in wealth and elitism, being of diluted blood and long-extinct talent, possess only the skills to deceive, lie, cajole and enrich themselves and their interests, possessing the worst morals in humanity, being devoid of scruples or human decency, manipulating the masses into being elected, later betraying their voters by pursuing not the will of the people, but the investments of the elite.
This small club of miscreants – commonly called politicians – it has become well known, are the worst humanity has to offer, yet their kind are elected over and over again, with the masses forever falling for the never-ending stream of lies, spin, smiles, talking points and public relations stunts. These individuals rarely vote in the interests of the people, almost always choosing to strengthen corporatism, yet the people vote them in nonetheless. Theirs is an exclusive club where to join wealth and power and corruption must be presented and proved. They will do and say anything to get elected, becoming pathetic creatures of insecurity and immorality. The Congress, therefore, is a club of the elite, for the elite and by the elite, and only they and their progeny can join.
In the years since 9/11 those who have woken from their slumber have realized that there is no major difference between the two political parties in America. This duopoly, or two headed hydra, is but two sides of the same coin, representing the same corporatist interests, the same small elite that is invariably molding America further along the corporatist model.
While one party is more fascist and criminal than the other, they both nonetheless help to expand the world’s right-wing dogma, whether it is related to the political or business world. Regardless of which party controls the presidency, the interests of the corporate world, that bastion of authoritarianism and conservative thought, of wealth and elitism, together with its perpetual expansion of power and control, is always priority number one.

The tide WILL turn....
well-said. I saw Chalmers Johnson give a speech recently. He reminded us that: Things that can't go on forever.....don't. It's sad what's happened to this country. Where the people who oppose aggressive warfare are ridiculed by politicians and much of the mainstream media. They claim that we hate America, should be silenced, and the like. But the reality is - those that have turned this country into a militarized warfare state are acting with complete hatred towards what this nation stands for.

Mucho Trabajo!
It must have been a cathartic gesture to write that all out! Felt better getting it off your mind...? Yes a lot of people DO feel that... and worse.

We are collectively too comfortable
It is my thought that as a 'people' the citizens of the United States are way too comfortable to actually take to the streets and get it done. Getting things done is UNcomfortable and getting this particular thing done would be VERY uncomfortable. Granted, many of us are pissed off enough...but I for one am not ready to be among the first shipped off to the concentration camps. Practically speaking, while I have the necessary skills I am going to hold off buying weapons for a bit. by Roger (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 465 comments [22 recommended, 1 rejected]) on Wednesday, May 9, 2007 at 7:01:44 PM (0+)

Bravo!!!!!!!!
I wish I could shake your hand sir. Very well put...I agree with my whole heart that our country and the world need for Cheney and then Bush impeached. There is no other way to end this immoral and criminal war in Iraq and to show the entire world that the American people do not support the evil deeds of this administration and we are still a nation that believes in Justice. by Patrick Roberts (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 14 comments) on Wednesday, May 9, 2007 at 7:09:47 PM (0+)

Reply: Cheney and Bush are bad enough BUT
the real issue is to root out the CFR, Bilderbergs, the Trilateral bastards, Carlyles, Rockefellers, Morgans and their ilk. Focusing on Bush and Cheney is focusing on the Middle Management. You really must get over your reluctance to go for the throat. by Duff (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 7 comments) on Wednesday, May 9, 2007 at 8:18:15 PM (0+)

Maybe it's time for many of us to pack up and leave?
The sad thing is that, as of right now, a probable majority of "Americans" have exactly the government that they need, want, and deserve. Let's face it, there's still plenty of people out there that "support our troops", support Bush, support war against any country for any ridiculous reason at any price, don't mind being lied to at all, don't care about things called "rights", and generally speaking, just don't see much of a problem with what's happening. Is it worth risking your career, your assets, your freedom, and perhaps your life, for a bunch of moral slugs like that? For the small percentage of people who live in the U.S. and truly see the horror, maybe it's time to start thinking about leaving. I know I'd like to leave, but I just don't know where to go at this point. by jpsmith123 (3 articles, 1 quicklinks, 1 diaries, 286 comments [27 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Wednesday, May 9, 2007 at 8:54:40 PM (0+)

Breaking wind on the keyboard
This internet farting about 9/11 being an inside job has been exposed, debunked, destroyed, ripped into tiny little gory shreds. Now that the 9/11 "truthers" (liars) have been outed, there is little left to do, other than laugh in disgust. by Scott (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 744 comments [30 recommended, 3 rejected]) on Wednesday, May 9, 2007 at 11:22:42 PM (0+)

But -
But 'silent anger' and 'submissive acquiescence' have exactly the same effect unless that silent anger is translated into effective and immediate action. And this is not the endless impeachment parleying inaction that is being suggested. It is the walking-in-there-and-turfing-them-out action that is required. Or for how long are out legislators to be allowed to expose us to the predations of the worst of the planets vermin, the financiers who impoverish and waste into extinction the innocent life of our planet? For how long are out 'leaders' to be bought, and are we to be bought off with smiles and waves and reassurances? For ever? To the dung-heap and hell with them all! Now. by amazin (34 articles, 0 quicklinks, 12 diaries, 400 comments [12 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Thursday, May 10, 2007 at 4:41:57 AM (0+)

Needs to Spread Like Wildfire
Manuel, "A Nation in Silent Anger" is one of the most poignantly written articles I have ever read at this site. I've written two articles that say very much the same thing, but not nearly as eloquently. The Democratic Party is not Broken" and the other is entitled "Priority Number One".
You say too much too eloquently to chance that people may not go to OpEdNews or to your site to read it. It needs to spread like wildfire.

Silent Anger
This essay needs to reach as many people in this country as possible. Send it to people like Rosie or Ron Paul and see what they can do with it. Could a presidential candidate, who appears to want the real truth to come out, ever endorse 9-11 Truth? by Bill Cain (3 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 434 comments [67 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Thursday, May 10, 2007 at 1:57:26 PM (0+)

Thank you Manuel....
I've felt the rage ever since learning the truth about 9/11 three years ago. I've felt the rage every time I heard about travesties and horrors visited upon innocents by the group of traitors, child molesters and murderers we call a government. I've felt the rage every time I hear another lie and deception from an "elected" official... especially as if more often the case, from a Democrat. I've felt the rage every time I think of the fat neocons, wealthy, arrogant, hideously comforted in the mansions while the millions they have killed lay in the graves or no graves at all and the millions more are driven from their homes in the name of corporate greed, avarice, and sadistic lust. by Duff (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 7 comments) on Wednesday, May 9, 2007 at 2:26:15 PM (0+)
