As we have been aware of for a very long time now, America is being destroyed from within. A monkey wrench has been thrown into the gears of a great country being destroyed from the top down. Those entrusted with our rights have made it legal to sell us down the river so they can attain a little more money and for a very short time, a little more power.
We pay taxes that are supposed to benefit us through our government; instead that money is taken and used against us by the industrial military [corporate] complex for their own greedy purposes. Thomas Jefferson put it this way, "A government afraid of its citizens is a Democracy. Citizens afraid of government is tyranny!"
When people allow themselves to become ignorant of their rights and how they came about them they then will soon loose them; also when ignorance abounds people do not understand the value of that which they so easily dispose. It is far too likely some will let boxes and bags be placed over their heads obscuring the understanding of what is so fundamental.
Thomas Jefferson
expressed himself, saying, "Upon the altar of God I pledge eternal hostility
against every form of tyranny over the mind of man." It is when we allow those
we have empowered to control our thinking that all may be lost for generations
while we have the wise fools misleading the blind.
I wonder if any of the rich have considered that all that money they are grasping for to the very last dollar is fiat currency; if it is not circulated to build anything then that currency becomes worthless. Assets also lose their value in the same manner. Think about what that makes some of you who aspire to own everything and will end up having nothing.
Those with small minds think only of destruction and are capable of no other. Creativity requires an ability to build and grow and nurture. Empires are in the desires of those who are willing to destroy everything so they can own all of nothing. Yet their egocentric narrow thinking leaves them blind to better possibilities.
Consider Moammar Gadhafi who could have retired in wealth in another country with plenty of everything, instead his ego made him trade it for just a little more power for just a little more time only to find death in his end. Governments of, for and by those governments' privatized interests for their own survival only continue to be due to cruelty and repression and have no real reason to ever have even been in existence.
