The "ObamaNation" of the Two Party System
By Richard Volaar (about the author) Page 1 of 2 page(s)
For OpEdNews: Richard Volaar - Writer Truly pathetic. Swept up in a furor of neo-fascist euphoria, the whole of America completely misses the point as they allow themselves, once again, to be swept up in the pseudo-reality of pageantry and ballyhoo. Not one single mention of the validity of the assertion that 911 was an inside job was dared mentioned, in spite of reams of proof to the affirmative. In fact, much effort was made to imply the validity of the theory that 19 Arab terrorists with box-cutters stood down the most powerful air force on Earth in its most vulnerable corridor. A patently absurd notion on its face goes completely unchallenged in our corporate-owned media! The absurd “single bullet theory” of the JFK Assassination continues to hold because George Bush, Sr, is still alive and protecting the ghosts of LBJ and the Murchison Family. As long as the Originating Lie that kicked-off this latest fascist takeover continues to hold water, the rest of the media will continue to tow the line on the true origins of the 911 conspiracy – the latest in a long line of falsehoods designed to keep us all in fear and dread of stepping outside the dominant paradigm.
The silence on 911 from the Democratic Party has been deafening, quite literally.
“Conspiracy theory” is the abusive label we toss at scholarship and madness as if they were kin. Scholarship is easy enough to recognize and divine, madness much less so. In fact, one of the hallmarks of individual madness is that it cannot be freely shared…it is an alienating and isolating condition where belief comingles with values, perspective and, ultimately, perception. The majority of people can not relate their reality to the stated reality of an insane person because, quite obviously, somebody’s nuts. Off their rockers. Lost their mind’s. And no ONE person can ameliorate or reconcile the madness of another solely by themselves – they need to be dropped behind enemy lines, as it were, with a DSM-IV and boatload of professional indoctrination.
Right now, the Democrats believe they are on the right side of history. They are of the “right” mind. They believe they are sane. It is the Republicans, they argue, who are completely bonkers. Look at the evidence and that should tell you all you need to know, they say.
This would be a satisfying enough conclusion had I not been watching this two-party partisan freak-show for the last 40+ years, give or take an assassination and a right-wing coup-de-tat.
Or two.
But the facts are there, if buried, beneath a sea of historical matters of fact: humans have always been at war with themselves, each side in the fight believing to their core that the other side was completely bonkers, necessitating their ouster from hegemony. That’s the cover story, at least, used by the victors to conceal their sponsorship of one side of the madness in order to secure the resources of the other side. The majority of humanity is obviously complicit in this storyline because it has always been more comforting to know that we were compelled to act against our own sanity, our own best interests, by a more powerful outside force, than to accept the fact that we do not wish to take responsibility for our own right-mindedness.
Individually and collectively, human beings prefer to scapegoat one another rather than accept the simple fact that in order to behave insanely, one must first be insane. Dropped behind enemy lines, as it were, with defective equipment, we marshal our forces and fight on in the blind hope that we will one day meet up with a side in the fight we can relate to, agree with, comprehend, or at least dominate into submission. We would rather die than do otherwise.
Most of us die.
And this sad state of affairs -- this unwillingness to accept our complicity in our own madness -- is precisely why we require pageantry and ballyhoo before we go off on yet another delusional war against ourselves. We sanctify in ritualistic celebration our utter cluelessness as to how next to proceed. We pick our sacrificial lamb wisely, as if in so doing we can conceal from our awareness our actual intent behind words like, “hero,” “genius,” or “a good man” and press on into the “Great Unknown.”
Which would be well enough if our futures were truly unknown.
But our futures are not unknown to us, nor have they ever been so. Our futures have always reflected our pasts because of this tendency we have to refuse to ask honest questions of ourselves and to then receive honest replies. Insane people meet with insane consequences because effects are known by their prior causes. It takes apples to make an apple pie, not pumpkins, but play with the words all you care to, to avoid the simple truth: causes are also known by their effects.
Was 911 an inside job?

I could of written this article ...
I have spent a lot of time wondering why 9/11 is so taboo even though the evidence screams out at you. I can't help but believe it is the shear magnitude of it take gives people pause. Think of just what the effect would be. People's long help belief systems would be ripped from their roots and shattered. I don't think there are that many independent people around that can handle that kind of trauma. Consider ever member of Congress and Senate would have to admit that although they are in the seats of power, they somehow missed something this large. That admission alone would immediately disqualify them from holding office and draw suspicion. The same could be said for the MSM. How could they say they where creditable news gathering organizations when amateurs with little funding uncovered the biggest crime of all time? So many institutions would crumble, and not just in this country, this would sweep the planet. Dynasties that have lasted for centuries would be thrown asunder. Their names buried never to rise again. Their descendants neutered so they could not pollute the human gene-pool ever again. What struck me was that there was no mention of 9/11 at all in any context at the DMC. I have a suspicion that it is because many people are waking-up to it that they didn't want to draw any attention it at all. But, I just can't help but believe that it's the herd mentality that keeps many quite. Case in point, I had a sister that is totally embedded into the system. I recently held a series of 9/11 screenings and the first thing she wanted to know is how people there reacted to them. She wasn't so much concerned about what was in the films, or what I said, she wanted to know how other reacted. And I think that's the crust of it. If one of the speakers at the DNC would have mentioned the possibility that 9/11 was an inside job I bet you could have heard a pin drop as people looked around to see how others would react before they applauded or booed. I don't know how this will shake out. I don't know what will be the catalyst, but I do know this, if and when it breaks there will be a rising of rage never before seen and we will wipe these cretins from the face of the Earth forever. by Mr M (8 articles, 0 quicklinks, 66 diaries, 2845 comments [662 recommended, 27 rejected]) on Saturday, Aug 30, 2008 at 5:48:40 PM  (0+)

Reply: The thing is
To be honest, 9/11 was just a drop in the bucket. Over the last 100 years the Holocaust, World Wars, Great Depressions, genocides, etc have been engineered by the same people behind 9/11. Our history has been under controlled, both past and present for over 60 years, and was under control in various degrees for 60 years previous to that. Most of what Americans to be true today is a lie and maintained by the media, educational system, various institutions, foundations and think tanks who are controlled by the ruling class. Even religion has been infiltrated by the ruling class (eg. the smiling pope was assasinated in 1978 for his plan to lift the ban on contraception) There is no Democracy, it is an illusion. The global ruling class have virtually total control over media, education, science, government, finance, military and intelligence, law enforcement, etc. We are all connected to the grid. It is 1984 already and we get our news and history from the Ministry of Truth. The great wars that have been fought, WW I, WW II, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, etc were all arranged by the ruling class as part of the plan to globalize the world and create a single Totalitarian state. The Great Depression and various financial crisis have all been arranged by these people to keep them distracted and to transfer wealth from the lower classes to the rich. The US decline over the past 35 years has been masked in part by economic indicators that are adjusted (lies), but it is very apparent to anyone over 50, except for the most ignorant, that there has been a significant erosion in most of Americas living standards over these 35 years, and the infrastructure around us is decaying. And the people behind this told us about it in advance. They wrote books telling us it was going to happen. It was part of the plan. Brzezinski, the man behind Obama, and co-founder of the Trilateral Commission, wrote a book in 1971 predicting this. These people do not see themsleves as Americans loyal to America, but as Global citizens, or more accuratley, Global rulers. The gap between what people perceive to be real, what I call the consensus reality, and the real world, is so great, that should people be told the entire truth, most would laugh so hard at the insanity of what they heard they would hurt themself. Others might get depressed or angry. But those who cross outside the consensus reality are labelled as insane. This is the purpose of psychology of course, as the "insane" must be medicated and brainwashed to prevent the spread of the insanity, otherwise known as truth. Since people don't like to be called insane, they go along with the consensus. It is much more comfortable and socially acceptable. For the few who do not, so long as they are not too numerous or influentional, they are tolerated. Those who become a problem get taken care of. The fact of the matter is, at this point, truth is just a cruelty to the 80% whom have accepted the lie hook line and sinker. But what about the other 15-20% that just ignore it, despite knowing some of it. I believe many who ignore the truth or go along with the consensus have been convinced it is for the best. The means justifies the end. They are told it is the only way to prevent the next great war that will destroy the planet, not knowing that the great wars fought in the past have been created by the ruling class who have no intention of destroying themselves. They are told it must be done so we have control over global resources to prevent the planet from being destroyed, and that living standards must be suppressed to avoid depleting these resources and polluting the planet with CO2 which will turn earth into a living hell. They accept these myths as a way to rationalize their complicity in the crimes being committed aginst humanity. Without them, the ruling class could not rule. They are equally guilty. The thing about evil is it has a way of floating to the top, where it becomes more powerful and concentrated, like rancid cream. At the top, there are no constraints, except in a functional democracy. Thats why Democracy has always been the great enemy of the ruling class. Our last hope of maintaining what was left of our democracy ended with JFK's assasination. After his fathers stroke, he turned against the establishment, and was punished. The Two Party System and Obama Nation represent a controlled illusion of democracy where the candidates are pre-selected for the people to choose from. If change could come from voting, we would not be allowed to vote. As for 9/11 I can only say at this point that they want us to know 9/11 was an inside job. By refusing to acknowledge the obvious with regard to 9/11, the Democrats are simply speaking another truth, that the power that rules us is not within the 2 party system. They are just pawns. This was also a test as to their ability to control the masses perception, despite the obvious, and to see how much they can get away with. I would say they must be very encouraged, as most people still think the Emperor is wearing fine clothes. This does not bode well for the future. by pft (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 601 comments [7 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Saturday, Aug 30, 2008 at 8:34:28 PM (0+)

Re: Obama Nation and the Ruling Elite
This is really a very good article. At any rate, the article and the comments that followed are right on. The ruling elite have us believe that there is a democracy but any thinking person can see that it is a show and propaganda. A democracy that serves the interest of less than 1% of the population (really a lot less) can never be considered a democracy any more than 2 parties that promote the same fascist parties can be consdered a choice. by Grant Lawrence (141 articles, 164 quicklinks, 58 diaries, 453 comments [27 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Saturday, Aug 30, 2008 at 10:05:01 PM (0+)

So What Do We Do?
We can't let them go without a proper accounting for their misdeeds. I am sure that the ruling elites had the best interests of the world at heart when they started down this path...but like everything else that human beings get their hands on, it turns rancid after a while. I think we need to properly address the insanity that has been embedded in the human consciousness for at least the last 2,000 years. It is this, "oh, please save me, my king," baloney that has lead to this nonsense in the first place. People need to take responsibility for their own tendency to hide from the truth. They will either do this or they will go mad trying to hide from the obvious. I think the commenter who mentioned that 911 was small potatoes is partially correct. But then I keep seeing the face of that hard-working woman waving to the world from that gaping hole in the WTC that was supposed to be white-hot with fire -- and I get angry all over again. Not on my mother-f*in' watch. I could absolve myself of JFK's assassination and the pocket-knifing his skull took before his corpse even arrived at Bethesda...I was two. But not this one. This is obscene, atrocious garbage that should see Cheney and Bush both hanging by their necks. by Richard Volaar (39 articles, 0 quicklinks, 151 diaries, 478 comments [72 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Saturday, Aug 30, 2008 at 10:17:03 PM (0+)

The sinking of the USS Main in Havanna Harbor,
Pearl Harbor, Gulf of Tonkin, 911: these are just a few of the false flag operations to galvanize the nation behind the president to go to war over recent US history. by Stanimal (2 articles, 366 quicklinks, 40 diaries, 1638 comments [324 recommended, 6 rejected]) on Sunday, Aug 31, 2008 at 2:35:13 AM (0+)

Where is the balance?
Those who share a conspiracy theory of major import must recognize motivation to resist it. Then there can be valuable discussion --possibly later to result in public information. Up to that point, any such issue will be seen as "single issue" equivalent to riding a hobby horse. It's different with the title of the book which you include in your title to this article. Corsi has a paper trail of working "one side of the aisle" against the other. This title implies there are no sides, almost as if all is lost. By implication, I wonder if you think all is lost. Please take a better slant on what should be a fair discussion. by Margaret Bassett (51 articles, 3819 quicklinks, 66 diaries, 2539 comments [200 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Sunday, Aug 31, 2008 at 2:43:05 PM (0+)

Reply: Pretty Much, Margaret...
...unless we're willing and able to start hauling people like George Soros into the streets and filleting them alive on global TV, I don't see anything changing for the better. Jerome Corsi has nothing to do with my perspective nor my opinion. So his paper trail is every bit as suspect as anyone else who's actively making money since 911. 911 was an inside job. The evidence of government complicity is at a level that is so "in your face" it is moronic to argue against it. The only people who DO stick with the argument against government complicity actually WORK for the government under direct employ or contract. Every major media outlet into the public domain is rife with the influence of government intelligence agents working under cover. All three branches of our republic have been taken over by zealots whose first loyalty is to the benefactors who placed them in position to do their bidding -- not the public's. Only a bloody revolution remains as a solution to short-circuiting the cynical repression these dominant elites have planned for all of us. There is only ONE way to stop a runaway locomotive coming down the tracks and into the town where you live: disrupt and undermine the track ahead of the train. It is truly sad when the only voice of dissent possible -- the only avenue the ruling elites leave any of us as a means of functional dissent -- is a closed fist. That is so abusive and irresponsible a miscarriage of social compact that open, bloody class warfare against the minority elites is justifiable. If I did not see the utility of the misery about to befall us all I would have already taken action. Indeed, if any of the conspirators of the current plots cross my path, they will lose vital parts of their anatomy. Aside from pitiful rebellion, the only way to move a group as large as our's is for each faction within it to come to consensus. The average person, made lazy and dumb from a lackluster educo-indoctrination system, is not going to be easily convinced of our available alternatives. That's checkmate. There is NO POINT in being "fair and balanced" when your opponent(s) are actively removing the middle ground between survival and death. One MUST come down on one side or the other. When all is well, we can afford to hear both sides of the argument fully. But not in a battle, especially one we did not start through anything but our own benign neglect. Once in battle, there is only our team and their's. Everything else is collateral to be put to use in the war. by Richard Volaar (39 articles, 0 quicklinks, 151 diaries, 478 comments [72 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Sunday, Aug 31, 2008 at 8:21:42 PM (0+)
