When is it going to be enough? Haven’t you been disrespected, marginalized, misdirected, demeaned, disregarded, ignored, insulted, bullshitted, deliberately misinformed, uninformed, manipulated, controlled, cheated, lied to, poisoned, killed…and generally just plane old screwed for long enough? I’m really starting to wonder about you. Why isn’t all that enough for you America? Yoo Hoo! Are you in there?How does it make sense that you can be thrown into jail for an unpaid traffic ticket, perhaps for days if it’s on a weekend yet; Bernard Madoff who ruined the lives of thousands gets to hang out in luxury, being available to do whatever one does when they are trying to cover their assets before going to jail? Isn’t that enough for you, America?You are a number. You are photographed hundreds of times everyday. They intend to track you everywhere, they pretty much already do. They already have your grocery cards, and your cars, and your phones, and your computers. They want to “chip” you, and your animals. You have no privacy. Why isn’t that enough for you, America?
You have worked hard for years, tried to save, invested for the future; only to see your future become a far less comfortable one, if it will be there for you at all. All this because of the legalized gambling known as “the stock market”. All this so that bankers and corporations and politicians can profit, from your losses. And you allow them to throw more and more of your money down the toilet. Your dollar is dying. The domino effect of the situation resulted in a global financial meltdown. Why isn’t THAT enough for you, America?
As the late great Bill Hicks said, “Entertainment is a weapon.” Your “news” is controlled and manufactured. Your comedians are the journalists. You and your children are stupefied and zombified by television. Movies, cars, sports and fashion, and Hallmark holidays; they take your attention and your resources. You are in debt up to your ears. Isn’t that enough for you, America?
Your jobs have already gone overseas or are disappearing daily. Welfare, which used to be an embarrassing thing to partake of, is a way of life for millions. Is that enough for you, America?
Your Constitution might as well not even exist. You allow the marginalizing and silencing of those who would honor it. You call them “possible terrorists”. You watch as they try to deny you your rights. You allow them to ignore our borders and the consequences.
You don’t care enough anymore whether or not the person who “leads” your nation can provide the necessary qualifications to even be considered to run for the office, let alone occupy it. That’s why “they” can slip such schmucks in on you, you make it so easy. Don’t YOU and your children have to throw down your birth certificates for all kinds of things? I thought so. It’s the law. Try and not do it and see what happens. Your current liar in chief didn’t have to do it. Why isn’t THAT enough for you, America?
Then, you are told that you have “no standing” in YOUR own courts to question whether or not these Constitutional requirements have been fulfilled. One or two of you make it part of the way only to be told you WILL NOT BE HEARD, and that’s OK with you! Why isn’t THAT enough for you America? Any of you, and I mean ANY of you has standing to ask this question because it is YOUR Constitution that is OUR LAW.
Should you decide to voice your opinion in disagreement with those in power, you are “allowed” to do so but are penned in cages, or trodden by horses, or beaten or sprayed or tazed. Why isn’t THAT enough for you America?
Your rights have been marginalized; you allow voter fraud to go unchecked. You scream for change but at the next election, you re-elect all but 8 of the 257 about which you complain. Your cities and towns are in disrepair, your infrastructure is crumbling. You devalue your teachers, and reward thieves. You let your schools flounder; therefore many of your children are ignorant (not stupid, there’s a difference). Too many of you are fat, way too many of you are on way too many drugs, legal or not. Your sweeteners cause cancer. You are diseased with mystery illnesses, cancer and HIV/AIDS; and your vaccines are dangerous. Why isn’t all of THAT enough for you, America?
Your families are in shambles. Your children are parents. Divorce is expected. Lying is expected and accepted. Sex is perverted. Morals are old-fashioned. Love is hardly a thing of real value. All this supported by your “media” and “entertainment” industry. Is that still not enough for you, America?
You are no longer considered one of the good guys in the geopolitical scheme of things. You are hated and reviled for your foreign policy. War profiteering is more important than human life; more important than you and your children’s lives; and those of “the enemy”. Your military and government tortures. Your sons and daughters have died for greed and nation building; and now they want Iran. Why isn’t THAT enough for you, America?
Your atmosphere, the air you need to breathe, and the waters that you and all other living things on the planet need to live, have been poisoned, often beyond repair; to facilitate military/industrial desires. Why isn’t THAT enough for you, America?
And now, they are after your food, AGAIN. That’s what this started to be about, HR875 & S425. The HR875 bill is in committee in the House with 40, count them, 40 sponsors that will let the government control what you can and cannot do on your own land, with your own crops or livestock, or organic garden. Ixquick it. This bill was introduced by Rosa DeLauro whose husband, Stanley Greenberg, works for Monsanto. This bears repeating. This bill was introduced by Rosa DeLauro whose husband, Stanley Greenberg, works for Monsanto. Do you honestly think this is going to be GOOD for you? Don’t we already have the FDA and the USDA and the FSIS? Why do we need this new agency of control?
Growing one’s own food, local farms, co-ops and ranches are things that do indeed need to be protected. If this global crisis continues, and all indications are that it will; what are you going to do for food if your local growers go away because of government regulation and/or fines and penalties? Remember victory gardens, they used to be a good idea, now they are a threat? It looks to me like what we need to protect our food from is our government. If they finally go after your food, and you’d better know they are, what are you going to do about it? I’ll write more on that and watch it. But, they’ll still try and do it. When they do, which is NOW, will THAT be enough for you, America?
It’s all more than enough for me. Where the hell are you, America?
