The perverting of reality....
This is a very good read to get a perspective of Scriptural America.

"Money is the barometer of a society's virtue. When you see that trading is
done, not by consent, but by compulsion —when you see that in order to
produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing — when
you see that money is flowing to those that deal, not in goods, but in
favors—when you see that men get richer by graft and pull tan by work, and
your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you —
when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming self-sacrifice
—you may know that your society is doomed." — Ayn Rand (from "Capitalism
The Unknown Ideal")
For some reason — perhaps it's just the passing of time — it has now become
somewhat fashionable — or at least permissable — to criticize the utterly
insane, totally criminal and horrifically inhuman performance by what is
known colloquially in Washington these days as the Bush Administration.
Yet because of the eager cheering of the television networks covering up
bestial carnage by U.S. troops upon hapless citizens of defenseless
countries, and the continuing lawless behavior of those in charge of our
nation's laws, nothing significant has yet been accomplished by those
throwbacks like you and me still clinging to the faded, prostituted dream of
liberty and justice for all upon which our country was ostensibly founded.
True, there has been some tongue-wagging about how America dropped its
radioactive torture on Afghanistan and Iraq after telling whoppers of lies
that never would have gone unchallenged in an eighth-grade debate class, but
nevertheless managed to hold spellbound the entire American populace while
these evil massacres took place.
But the identification of the nub of the problem that has turned America
from a promising melting pot of financial and social opportunity into a grim
gulag of greed and graft is still very far from happening.
And it may never happen. It never has yet. All those famous crimes we all
talk about have never been solved. At least no actual perpetrator has ever
been charged, though a few convenient patsies have been executed.
The intense flag waving and hyped-up security measures — accompanied by the
flaunted but bogus claims of less liberty means more safety — continue to
inhibit public debate on these matters, as is evidenced by the focus on
irrelevant issues by the current pack of Democratic presidential panderers,
who like the rest of the country, are simply too insincere to admit that
behind the red, white and blue bunting lies a bloodthirsty beast which is
now cannibalizing even its own citizens in its desperate effort to sate the
infinite appetites of the trillionaires who run the war machine.
Sure, questions are being asked about the lies used to justify the wars, but
the men who do the lying continue to victimize the folks who do the dying,
both at home and abroad. No one of any social consequence in the entire
world has yet seriously questioned the single, suspicious event that enabled
— by the patriotic mobilization of public opinion — America to come out of
the closet as a worldwide murder-for-hire operation.
And amid talk of treasonous illegal procedure in the outing of an
ambassador's wife who may have been a CIA operative, there still is no
discussion of the core issues that have catapulted this relatively trivial
matter to the top of the the newscasts. The criminals have yet to be caught,
because, unfortunately for everyone, they are the ones who are running the
police and the army, not to mention the TV networks and major newspapers.
But foremost among the silently complicit are the brainwashed American
people, who accept their watered down news like the prisoners they are,
eating pathetic bioengineered gruel from cardboard boxes in their sad towns
with abandoned department stores, no decent jobs, and starving senior citizens.
How is it that wide-eyed young journalists can graduate from America's
finest colleges (not Harvard; that's an Israeli school now) and know about
U.S. troops laughing during target practice on unarmed Iraqi civilians and
simply turn their heads away and not write those stories because they accept
the perverted propaganda of national security justifying the massacre of
innocent civilians?
How is it that churchgoing American parents can let their beloved children
put on their proud uniforms when they know — or should know! — that those
kids are going to be cursed with lifelong diseases caused by the vaccines
they are forced to take and the poisonous ammunition they are commanded to
handle?
How is that our most respected statesmen and religious leaders can remain
silent when they know that the evidence of the biggest, most horrendous
crime in American history was deliberately destroyed without a thorough
forensic examination which could have revealed how that crime was committed,
can remain silent when their government tells millions of people that their
air is safe to breathe when it wasn't, can remain silent when the big
pharmaceutical companies give court-ordered vaccinations to children that
turn many of them into vegetables, and the grieving parents can't even sue
the makers of the poison?
How is it that the American people can have available to them infrared
footage of the Waco massacre that shows federal agents putting bullets into
the heads of little children, that they can have documented evidence of
respected generals explaining how multiple bombs were attached to the
stanchions of that building in Oklahoma City, that they can see convincing
photographs that prove that none of the three planes that took off full of
happy people on that sunny morning of September 11, 2001 were the same
planes that hit their bloody targets ... how is it the American people can
turn away from these things and not go ... ?
Those well-meaning people around the world who carefully stipulate that it's
not the behavior of the American people they object to, but the behavior of
the American government that upsets them so ... those people are wrong.
Something has curdled in the American bloodstream.
Honesty and integrity of purpose are now merely historical relics in a
seldom-visited museum that now also houses the American Constitution.
Maybe there are too many nuclear power plants reducing the number of brain
cells in the typical American cerebellum. Maybe it's the food additives, the
antidepressants, the electric power lines, the cellphones, HAARP, subliminal
images in advertising, backward masking in the music, the elimination of
important historical facts in our school textbooks (anybody know about the
Santa Clara decision? most important law change in American history), the
childhood immunizations, the flouride in the water ... this list could fill
a book.
And everything on this list, from aspartame to phthlates, has had a
debilitating effect on the American psyche, warped it in the minds of our
soldiers from someone who would protect and defend the people's God-given
rights to home and happiness to someone who mistakenly hallucinates real
people with kerchiefs and lollipops into lifeless figures in a video game,
which become lifeless figures on a forlorn desert roadway quickly forgotten
on the way back to camp to get high.
Certainly the schools have something to do with it, and the media as well,
as both have altered the American psyche from one of compassionate seeker of
justice to self-destructive, self-hating narcissist.
Hmm, sounds like somebody we know, doesn't it? Can you say psycho-anal-y-sis?
And we arrive the big issue, the one they call you an anti-Semite for
talking about. Think about it, my friends. All the media, all the schools,
all the hospitals, all the movies, the entire nation's phone system. Much,
very much of the government.
The American mindset has changed over the past 40 years from live and let
live to follow the orders of our leaders, even if we know they are lying.
Did you ever wonder why that happened? Did you ever wonder who did that?
Did you ever wonder who is working so hard to turn our teenage daughters
into prostitutes on the covers of national magazines and the walkways of our
glittering malls? Whom do you suppose owns those magazines, those malls?
In the same way we took worthless land in America and imprisoned our
continent's original inhabitants, now in Israel they are building giant
walls to quarantine the world's inconvenient people, the ones who used to
own that land before it was stolen from them. When these same walls start
going up in America, you'll know the game is really over. Right now, all we
have are numerous chain-link fence enclosures topped with razor wire ready
to contain our own inconvenient people.
The future of the United States is already scrawled in blood-soaked grafitti
on the hearts of its cowardly citizenry. Do not resist. There is nothing you
can do. Narc on your neighbor.
American Satyricon, the story of an emperor gone mad cheered by a people
gone bad, wrapped in the red, white and blue called Old Glory by some, but
called something worse, something very much worse by most of the rest of the
world.
To be continued — time, the decaying biosphere, and the sadistic government
permitting.
