FEAR AND Paranoia, they easily spread like wildfires. This truth, especially as it applies to men, has had the USA both use atomic weapons on another nation, and willing to start a nuclear war over the positioning of nuclear weapons during the Cuban Missile Crisis. We may like to point our fingers at nearly every contrary interest in the world as being dangerous, but when it comes to real WMD use, it is the good old USA that has shown its willingness to use them against other human beings.
Right. When we are at war, we do not consider the other side to be human beings, so that opens up this notion of wiping out your opponent. We are not the first nation or tribe willing to threaten genocide or obliteration of their enemies. Humans throughout history have done to others what they would not ever wish upon their own. This is exactly the problem!
These days we are building the equivalent of concentration camps, but for whom exactly? What worse case scenario are some planning for? Is this not like weaponry, that if someone builds them, they then look for reasons to take advantage of their assumed advantage?
How often is this kind of opportunist mindset, resisted indefinitely? We used atomic weapons right off the bat! And you are to feel justified that we did! Now why would not this kind of rationalization apply to other human beings as well? Well, it so happens it does, as we discovered on 9-11. 19 losers of a sort, allegedly changed the metric on conflict and all our rights being rendered conditional, into a kind of quasi martial law that lets the executive do whatever it wants.
Who knew our history of freedom and standing up for freedom could be rendered mute so easily? We have a new set of violations to the Spirit of America that have more or less gone under the radar. Since we have now established that “appearances” are used as an excuse to trump actual election tallies to completion, we now have a faux or designer pseudo democracy. One where a vote count within a few million can be exorcised with a political party biased court in place. We have already seen how easy it is to overthrow democracy from within, and how safeguards to most institutional abuse are now removed when one party decides to act as if it were to be the one party state!
DEALING THE FEAR DECK
We now have in place, those who do not care what legacy of all of our history they destroy in the perverted name of defending it. We also have a fourth estate and other institutions who will go along with the destruction of freedom, in freedoms name. The nepotism, crony ism, corruption, and incompetence expected when these sorts of conservatives, yes conservatives, decide to save freedom from itself, is blatant today right here in the good old USA. We have seen the willingness of leaders who care not what their actions produce in the world any more than those who drop atom bombs on other nations, for expedience sake of course.
So we are led to speculate on the next scenario possibly being conceived to swing the election from a public that will have its eyes plucked out metaphorically speaking, and so left to the hands that pull their ignorance around their own heads as if it were a gift from God. The blind will and are leading the blind, and nary a one can or will do a thing about it. We have created an authoritarian bank account here in America, all those deposits are going to go to some risky scheme some time.
It is quite possible that Iran is being set up to coincide, like the other attacks and warnings, with the electoral process in the US. We have seen how what is called patriotism, or rallying around the leader and the leaders associates, is expected and usually delivered by a stupefied and frightened public. Indeed, we could say that all the boisterous, and jingoist pandering as occurred before the Iraq war, will be greatly facilitated by a corrupt and compromised corporate forth estate. Who are highly vested in the status quo, as well as US supremacy, no matter how misguided or historically deaf and dumb the blundering investment will be. It is running on a delusional fantasy, with our ankles tied around its lead weight along side the ship of state.
We will also see the usual right wing sycophants with their bull horns, trying to keep any contrary truths out of view, or have them tainted with ad-hominem venom, to poison the public from exercising their critical thinking abilities, and otherwise, act like a cult ready to swallow the cool-aid.
We are being frisked by fear at the gas pump. The soaring prices will be met with other prices going up across the boards, while income dwindles. Corporations have the right to pass on their expenses to you. You have no such right! Hum? How could this set up to rob have happened? So called Free Enterprise? Know who actually gets the prise?
That some pols have the conservative candidate so close to the less, speaks to the lack of light going into many hearts, minds and souls. Under this shadow this Memorial Weekend, while we honor those who gave their lives for our right to be free, those who hate freedoms full expression, will speak of its glory and triumph. This, while those who live under the pale light left visible in the USA, see the glistening of barbed wire points, unwinding above fences around newly constructed internment camps. Who are these for? You may well find out soon enough.
CAN I HAVE A CUP OF $15.00 GAS?

Someone with a gas card deal replied on another blog of mine that we cannot hope the government will fix our gas woes. So I wonder who will? $15.00 gas has been mentioned in the media.
Perhaps we will form citizen bands to pass gas from the refinery in cups down the interstates. We could all stand a few feet apart to cut the transportation cost. We could also get genetically engineered to siphon Hydrogen out of the air with gills so we could afford to stand there. Reverse umbrellas could act as water gathering devises so we can have a cool drink as we pass the cups along.
I feel this is more sensible than letting government, big government, charge us or whatever it does for its services. Unless government is killing people or locking them up it’s of no use. Sure. I believe that! It is everyone for themselves unless wealth’s way of privileged life is in question. Then we are all in this together, thank you that big government. Calling all suckers. Get ready to syphon.
Are you on-board?
I’m selling oil resistant shoes for those inevitable drips.
If all goes well I will be rolling in money, become a big success and not worry over energy cost. I will have the last laugh. Then I will make shares in my corporation public. Wow! Your pain will be my gain! Hurray pain, hurray! I suppose I will be pro pain then.
