a critique of america by an american






 


Thoughts from September 1st, 2011:

The tenth anniversary of the U.S.-Israeli government-sponsored 9-11 false flag demolition and how many Americans are still of the opinion that all conspiracy theories are only to be believed by those who are insane? It is governments and the powerful who benefit from such psychological paradigms where truth is twisted upon itself until no truth is left. 9-11 was an inside job and these wars are wars of aggression based on lies and murder.

Now we have Obama, the Manchurian Candidate incarnate. I do not care where he was born but a government that murders its own people would not have too much difficulty in faking anything or lying about anything. Obama is Bush the second. He is a corporatist, imperialist, and a fascist who has done nothing liberal at all save for a few gestures towards health care and gay rights that have been only pale traces of what his rhetoric was on the campaign trail. That he is black is the best thing about him because electing a black man to the office of presidency is a good thing- but it is one of the only good things about this administration.

Let's face it, the president is either a puppet of the military-industrial-prison complex or he is Kennedy with three snipers and his head blown off. Those who would make change are not allowed to be president and even if they got into office, they would not be allowed to dismantle the Leviathan. Rather, the beast that our corrupt and bloated federal governmetn has become must be overcome by disobediance, vigilance, and by making sure we stand our ground with force should the government decide to start rounding up outspoken critics and placing them in detention camps.

History is full of instances where a flourishing, advanced people are quickly thrown into subjugation and mental slavery by those who have the will to enslave and subjugate. The powerful are taking back benefits for the poor. The poor are growing moreso. The rich are getting richer. Serfdom and the lowering of the standards of living are on the horizon if Americans do not come together as a unified people in order to stop the regression of social benefits that are being usurped or abolished under the guise of necessity and "austerity". This is happening globally as the banking cartel tries to get its tentacles on every last nation-state on Earth. And, if you don't play ball, the bombs may start falling or the predator drones might start flying in your skies.

Now we have "liberated" Libya using Al-Queda "rebels" that are more like CIA paid mercenaries, used to take another oil-rich nation that is ripe and vulnerable for the picking. It was only a short few years ago that our government was in bed with Gadhafi, selling him weapons and inviting him to stay in New York for the U.N. meeting. This is just like Sadaam Hussein, who we sold poison gas to, a weapon of mass destruction, before invading his country because he was accused of having the very thing we sold him. Guess what? He was all out because he had already used or disposed of it all. He massacred the Kurds with the gas we sold him.

America is fucked at the moment and I do not see a clear path to getting un-fucked as most Americans are dull and brainwashed. The mass media in America, from print, to the idiot box, to the internet, is generally a propaganda-filled charade where you will hear what you want from the left or right but you will never see anything actually done and the truth always lies just below and beyond the most outspoken and vocal critics on this or that network or in this or that magazine.

Only the internet is left as a place for true journalism and freedom of thought and freedom of speech. It is here on the world wide web that people from all states and nations can write, communicate, and share their thoughts about the governments and the powerful who get away, literally, with murder and extortion every day. If the internet goes, so goes our last island of truth. But, with that last bastion of freedom on the internet, will go all the illusions about our freedom of speech and our Constitutional rights that have been trampled by recent legislation and recent executive administrations.

They should all be tried for war crimes. They should all be brought to justice. If the American people were truly aware of what heinous things were going on behind closed doors, in the darkest recesses of the Pentagon, and the offices of the CIA, then there would be hell to pay. If the American people could wake up, they would be a nation of lions. We are strong. We are forceful and prepared. We are knowledgable in the ways of warfare and we are a people born of rebellion and insurrection against the powers that were. It has been too long since the rot and stink of corruption has been washed from the halls of Congress and the high benches of the Supreme Court.

We are at a precipice and only time will tell if Americans are the maleable sheep our leaders deem us to be. Maybe we are fucked because we are so ignorant it is not possible to wake up. But, I think tens of millions of people, at least, are becoming aware of the evil plans and plots that have been hatched by the government that exists only to protect us.

Rather, it exists to murder and enslave us so that it can thrive along with those few who have amassed great wealth that the officials are in bed with. The New World Order, as I have said elsewhere, is a lot like the Old World Order, where kings and queens ruled the dumb slaves whose land they owned and labor they profited from. Like the Reznor/Bowie song refrain, I am afraid of Americans. I am afraid I can't help them. So, I make this website and write tirelessly and endlessly about the follies of trusting a megalithic institution that has tricked us into thinking we have enemies under every rock, in every foreign nation, so that the government may flourish in war and profiteering.

Halliburton, Dow, McDonalds, Boeing, Lockheed-Martin, Wal-Mart, Blackwater, and Billionaires run this country. The president is their bitch yes-man who tells the people what they want to hear while doing the corporations' bidding all the while. Obama is a shill for all the corporations and makers of weapons of war. He is the emperor for now and the next will also do as they say. All this will continue until something cracks. Perhaps it will be the army, exhausted and overextended.

Perhaps it will be the dollar, printed as fast and furiously as the machines at the Fed can spit them out. Maybe pissed off soldiers and a collapsing currency will be the death of this nation or perhaps it will have imperial death throws. Russia invaded Afghanistan before it collapsed. Perhaps it is where dying nations send their armies to try and regain all the riches of the middle east in order to prop themselves up on heroin and oil.

USA NAZI flag comparison

I do not create graphic images like the one above lightly in any way. In fact, I take it very seriously that we have gone down and are going down the road the Germans and Japanese went down in the middle of the 20th century. I am quite positive that history will indicate this as we continue our imperial insanity in country after country under the guise of freedom and democracy.



-2.0. July 10, 2010: America has no chance unless Democrats and Republicans are ousted from power and replaced with a real progressive party or truth party. The only difference between Democrats and Republicans is the bullshit they feed us. Democrats talk out the side of their mouths that they want to help the poor while stuffing their pockets with cash and siding with corporate interests. Republicans claim they are for family values and fiscal responsibility while they have gay sex and spend wildly.

At least the Republicans are honest about being racist, ignorant, backwards assholes. The Tea Party is a distraction, created by conservatives, to fool the people into thinking libertarian economic principles actually help them while only libertarian social principles are to be desired by the working classes. While the rich enjoy more wealth and lower taxes than ever, these Tea Party morons are calling for lower taxes and an end to welfare- a welfare system that is the only means of survival left for a growing portion of Americans.

People in America are told that socialism is the same as Nazism and they buy it because they neither understand history nor economics. In my estimation, America, and much of the world, is fucked because the populations are almost completely brainwashed into thinking politicians from established parties are going to help them.

-1.5. Hope and faith in leaders is the downfall of civilizations. Actions and words do more than hoping. Rulers use your blind hope and faith in order to control you. Look what hope has gotten us with our newly elected tyrant, Barack Obama- if that is his name. I imagine he is a CIA plant as the true power centers in America lie in bunkers and complexes where the military and intelligence agencies plot against their own people who are now, perhaps for the first time, waking up to the sick realities of uninhibited power.

If you don't think our government is tyrannical, then you simply haven't been paying attention to executive orders, secret prisons, the intention to never close Guantanamo, endless wars, and coming "terrorist attacks" orchestrated by the very people who are supposed to protect us. Rather, they frighten and enslave us, brainwash us with pledges and promises, and send us off to die against a made-up enemy in the Middle East.

-1.25. If you think free speech makes America great, then you are mistaken- because, behind this free speech my name and your name goes on a list. Perhaps you will be detained, not allowed to leave the country, or, as is becoming apparent, perhaps they intend to kill you and me and/or place us in concentration camps. These things happen all the time in history and when populations become dull, ignorant, and sheep-like. Propaganda in America has reached new heights since the Bush Administration and the Mossad orchestrated the 9-11 attacks. And, if you think it was Al-Queda, then I have a bridge I'd like to sell you.

-1.0. America has so much power. We should be using this power for good rather than the unjust usurping of resources, the torturing of innocents, and the false-flag demolition of buildings in New York. We could educate the world with computers and technology. Instead, we bully. We could help people to become self-sufficient, but, instead we have third world labor camps to make our products. America, Inc., must be replaced with the honorable and just nation we all want to live in. America can be a beacon of peace and trust, but not without trials for those who misled this nation.

0. Americans who are unaware of what is happening behind the scenes and who only get their news from papers or on CNN or MSNBC or FOX news or the Huffington Post, or the Christian Science Monitor have unused and atrophied grey matter between their ears, if there is any left at all. Now, for all of you who know what the New World Order is, congratulations and thanks for being awake, aware, and concerned about the state of the world and the well being of humans in general. Please write about it, talk about it, and make note of it at every possible opportunity.



Uncle Sam, America is going to free the shit out of you!

0.1 If you have no idea what I'm talking about, then perhaps you should put down the remote, put down the beer, put down the Bible, put down the male prostitutes and coke all you Republicans, take a break from EWTN or the other GOD-SAYS BLAH BLAH channels, take a break from the video games, stash the bongs for five minutes, and learn to use the most powerful researching and truthtelling tool on the planet: THE INTERNET.

0.11 If you used the internet enough and well enough, you would know that free speech online is on the chopping block in the coming years because no one is paying any attention. We have a pro-corporation Supreme Court, a pro-coroporation White House, a pro-corporation Senate and House.

0.2 Also, being old is no excuse for anything. Old should mean wise not lazy and brainwashed. If you don't know how to use something that allows you to understand the world you live in, then learn to use it. Learn. Think. Write. Read. Pay attention. And, yes TUNE OUT the mass corporate media. It is always going to confuse you. Remember that National Geographic, The History Channel, and Popular Mechanics are all basically quasi-goverment propaganda instruments when it comes to certain topics like 9-11, though they often present good material in between the lies to make them look reputable.

0.3 They only tell you the good stuff four or five decades later. I hold out hope for some Television, like PBS and Larry King and the BBC, who are mainstream and have focused on these issues to some degree. But, even in these few outlets, one finds a forgetting, a retelling of the lie, and a general lack of deep insight into the various events of the 9-11 government demolition event. Why do I call it that? Like Katrina is actually the Federal Levee Failure, the 9-11 attack was actually, the Federal Demolition Hoax.

0.33 You think the BBC is going to do a show on how MI5 and/or MI6 faked the bus bombings? Doubtful but it should if it has the interests of the people in mind. Who are the bigger racists great Britain? The Muslims or the people who try to get you to hate and kill Muslims? You too France, Spain, Switzerland, etc. People should be free to wear what they want and build what they want for any reason. But, we must consider if women in Muslim societies are really free to make a choice as well.

0.4 Just Google 9-11 truth for one second and then spend just 1 hour of your overindulged, underthought lives and wake the fuck up to what has been happening for decades and is almost at its APEX. It is an attempt to enslave humanity and the uneducated, overstimulated, propaganda bombarded people of the world and America need to pay attention. I have a page devoted to all this, with hundreds of reference links to articles, movies, and pictures- but NO ONE WANTS TO LOOK BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO READ, THINK, OR PAY ATTENTION ANY MORE IN AMERICA. They basically have won by making us stupid shallow consumers.

0.5 Amazingly, there are about 10 million pages devoted to 9-11 truth, yet I still get called nuts or told to "take my medication" by family members and friends. Maybe you stupid sheep in America are the real NUTS. We are 80% lazy nuts in America. Why? Because people don't want to look, aren't mentally prepared to look, and they really don't want anything to mess up their cozy little delusions of an America that is just and honorable.

0.6 Maybe in some fantasy of history that you learned in public school, but not in the real world where real people and real lives have been decimated from Asia to the Middle East to here in our own backyard. Wars, prisons, genocide, torture, lies, false-flag demolitions, suspention of rights and execution of innocents- WELCOME TO THE REAL AMERICA I KNOW.

0.7 New Comments from thoughts from April 7th, 2010:
_______________________________________________________

0.8 As Jessie Ventura so aptly said on the Alex Jones show, "The President is no longer in charge of the government.". It is obvious to me that neocons inside the Pentagon and CIA military industrial complex, are in charge of this government and what it will do. For a page devoted to this concept, visit my 911 page.

0.9 This constitutes an unconstitutional power center, or, a domestic terrorist cell. It is best we think about the Pentagon and CIA as domestic terrorists becuase that's what the controlled demolition of 9-11 was, terrorism. It terrorized us into a fear of THEM who did it but really THEY are the puppetmasters within our own and foreign complicit governments. Who would benefit from invasions into the middle east? Israel and the war machine makers and anyone who needs to secure oil.

0.99 The American government is so fucked up I can't even begin to suggest how to fix it. It is broken. Period. We are being lied to on a scale that is almost unfathomable. Super-thermite residue found in the World Trade Center Rubble? Free Fall Collapse of the WTC #7 building? Just look at the explosive expulsions of debris when the towers came down. It makes no sense unless it was being pulverized by explosions. Larry Silverstein made billions of this deal. The Pentagon got to go to war and justifiy it's existence.

0.999 Wake up people, this is just so obvious that I can't even believe so many people are blind to it. But, most people believe all kinds of stupid religious nonsense, so why not believe everything your fascist corporatocracy tells you? Baaa Baaa sheeple.

1. The single greatest problem in America in 2010 is that the working class has forgotten its collective power to make change.

1[1]. If everyone in America who wants universal healthcare and a living wage and job security decided to strike, then the government might yield if we shut down the economy. Without strikes and unions, there would be no worker's rights in existence. The conditions for the average American worker, in terms of pay and benefits, from post WWII to the present have become dismal.

1[2]. The working class has been largely brainwashed by public education and the corporate media to think that they should have to struggle and work two or three jobs.

1[3]. I would encourage peaceful organization of socially conscious Americans to strike. The only thing that matters to the powers that be is the economy.

1[4]. The French (and most European) working people are unified and they have so much control that workers get months of mandatory paid vacation, child leave, child care, 30 hour work weeks, and universal healthcare. We can have the same working conditions if we stop thinking we are powerless. Taxing the rich should be easy in a democracy.

2. The value of your life and success in life should be measured by the amount of happiness and free time you have to pursue pleasure, art, music, travel, love, and philosophy, and not the amount of money or material things you have accumulated.

2[1]. A homeless person who has traveled the world, experienced a great variety of places and people, and read and understood ten thousand books, is more successful than a billionaire who has spent his whole life piling up money.

3. I am an American. I was born in Massachusetts and I have traveled to more than half of the states. I have lived in Massachusetts, Florida, Louisiana, California, and New Mexico.

I have traveled to England, France, Spain, The Netherlands, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, the Czek Republic, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, Bermuda, Mexico, and Canada. If I had the time and money I would just travel.

3.2 My ancestry consists of Italian, French, Irish, Spanish, Lithuanian, and Polish. So, I guess this makes me someone who, respectively, works with the mafia, is an asshole, drinks too much, is swarthy, (I don't know any Lithuanian stereotypes off hand, sorry) and can't change a lightbulb.

4. I have recently read a great article by John Pace called "A Progressive Solution: How to Win the War on Terror without Being Terrified". It is here.

The greatest flaw in the article is that it is western governments and the Israeli government that are mostly responsible for terrorism. They are staging it and milking each incident in the media for more control and fearmongering.

5. In what follows, I give a rather severe critique of America. But this is not to diminish the great achievements America has made in terms of human rights, technology, and a political and economic system that has allowed so many to prosper so much. America is, perhaps, the most powerful country that has ever existed and we must use our power wisely and respectfully of other people, nations, and the planet as a whole. We can do so much good with our power just as we can do so much harm.

6. I hope that people across the world know that most Americans are peaceful, well-meaning people that do not approve of many of the lesser things our government has done. America is one of the best countries on Earth because, in what follows, I can tell you all the things that are most wrong with it.

7. America is a first class first world country for the rich and the privileged.

7[1]. Privilege could mean anything from intelligence, to social and economic connections, to a stable home early in life. For those who come from wealth, but chose to deny it, the familial backup of wealth will always be privilege. It is, essentially, the privilege of choice concerning wealth.

7[2]. America is a second world country, in some places, for many in the working class.

7[3]. And, America is a lot like a third-world country for the poor who inhabit rural rust towns, ghettos, projects, and inner cities.

8. In 2010, America is a unique place amongst first world nations. It is a place where one still has the freedom to amass tens of billions of dollars of wealth while your fellow citizens go homeless, and go without food or healthcare. America is a place where one still has the freedom to worship Jesus, and, at the same time, march off to a false war in Iraq so that the military-industrial complex can sustain itself.

With an economic system that allows the regulators and lawmakers to essentially be funded by those who profit from the manipulation and abolition of regulation, there will inevitably be, at minimum, regular economic turmoil, and, at maximum, total economic collapse.

9. America has more prisoners per capita than almost any nation in the world. A great portion of our money is involved in and taxed to fund our police-justice-prison industrial complex. America is a place where those in power believe that the best way to combat the very same drug use and addictions they themselves participate in or have overcome, is to declare war on their own people.

10. America's education system has been in decline for decades and the results of an uneducated, uninformed public are dangerous not just for our own internal stability but, given America's military largess, for the rest of the world as well. The eight years during George W. Bush's presidency are a testament to the potential harm anti-intellectualism and blind nationalism can do to the world.

11. What is good about America? Democracy and the noble attempt to allow everyone to have a voice. The first amendment that allows me to freely say or write anything that I please. The continuing attempt to treat all people equally. Our attempts at justice. Our individualism and our belief in fairness balanced with incentives. Innovation in America is robust because we value diversity and creativity.

Though, in 2010, there is a fairly sizeable contingent of conservative individuals, the movement towards liberalism by the youth indicates that the country will continue to be more tolerant and more willing to provide a saftey net for those who are in need. Religious fundamentalism, militarism, and xenophobia are some of the greatest threats to America's continuing evolution towards a more just nation.

12. There should be a maintenance of economic incentive with a balancing of social obligation. There are no purely capitalist countries or purely communist countries and no such places could exist given current human psychology. Pure capitalism resulsts in monopolistic dictatorships where there is no line between the corporation and the government (something America has flirted with and still does) while pure communism slowly rots from its inefficiency and ignorance of human psychology (something like The former Soviet Union and Cuba).

13. For all those that want to return to what America was in some glorified past, this is no different than saying you want to go back to an America where white men controlled everything and where minorities were at least second-class citizens and at most property. America committed horrible crimes against native peoples.

America has been an empirialistic bully around the world and our military has engaged in countless cases of unnecessary war for political or economic reasons. We are certainly not alone in these characteristics but I point them out in order to quell the fervent nationalism that seems so commonplace in this country.

14. Pride in something you did nothing to achieve, such as pride you were born wealthy or pride you were born in America, is rightly disgusting. Pride should be reserved for things one does to help the world and nationalism is in direct conflict with this. We can be proud that our elders (almost ancestors now in 2010) helped the world defeat the Axis powers in World War II (Though the bombings of Dresden, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki should be considered the war crimes they are).

But, to think that our political meddling and the resultant deaths in Vietnam and the surrounding region were some noble enterprise is to be completely delusional about reality. To think that the Iraq war was enacted for good reason and that the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis was somehow worth any political result, is, in my opinion, nothing short of psychopathic.

15. I hope that America can be a beacon of peace and wisdom rather than the epicenter of shallowness, greed and consumption. It is slowly changing internally, but many institutions (the government in general, the military, the media, corporations, law enforcement) will lag behind the will of the youth.

15[1]. I think that the will of the youth in America, and around the world, is leaning more towards openness, tolerance, and peace. As the youth ages, we can hope this general outlook will grow and the world will be a better place for it. Free access to the internet has both spurred this liberalisation of the youth and sustained it.

It is precisely this free access to information that poses the greatest threat to established unjust centers of power. Unjust power will always fear a freedom of information and they will attempt to suppress the free exchange of information. The only remedy with respect to this is vigilance on the part of those people and nations that would protect freedom.

16. How can America improve? Focus so much more on education and providing food and shelter for the population. Crime and drug abuse flourishes when we ignore the mentally ill and the poor. Crime and drug abuse flourish amidst desperation.

Tolerate consensual crimes like drug posession and prostitution so that those who already have the problem of addiction do not also have to be put through our harsh criminal justice system. Never use the military as a means of economic gain, as in Iraq with Halliburton, and only as a security force.

Always apply U.S. law to anyone working for us in a foreign nation and do not let contractors rape or murder each other with impunity.

End fascism. Fascism is when the government and corporations are one and blind nationalism is rampant. We live in a fascist nation. "Socialism for the rich and capitalism for the poor" said Vice President Biden.

17. We need to make something. Why not electric cars? We need to use good energy. Why not dig geothermal power conduits? Why not put money into the research of fusion?

The stranglehold that wealthy conservatives have on every aspect of this country has crushed the middle class. The poverty here is staggering and no one has a guarantee of health care, a guarantee of food, or a guarantee of shelter.

This would be difficult to accept if America was a poor nation. But, it is certainly not poor for those who have siphoned off all of America's wealth. Unions can sometimes be detrimental. But, the alternative of an oppressed working class that loses every benefit and ounce of job security is many times worse than any union

18. How can we know when we are not a fascist nation? If nationialism is not the norm, but a fringe, we are doing well. If homosexuals are treated fairly everywhere, then we are doing well. If power is being balanced, then we are doing well. If, however, we are continually waging war, the government is in bed with corporations, and the rights of women, minorities, and homosexuals are being infringed upon, then we are certainly back to our fascist ways.

That we have elected Barak Obama president, is, in my mind, one of the best signs that we are getting better. In the next paragraph, I engage in a harsh criticism of Obama but, no matter what I say about him, he will, I hope, always be vastly superior to his Republican counterpart (John McCain) who would have probably already started a bombing campaign in Iran.

19. Though, Obama is a huge disappointment to attentive progressives in America because he has escalated the war in Afghanistan, sided more with wealthy corporate interests on Wall Street and in the Health Insurance industry than the interests of the middle and lower classes, and for basically not keeping his promises on gays in the military and the closure of Guantanamo Bay.

19[1]. Now, in early 2010 he has proposed a spending freeze and the White house backs crony insiders like Geitner, Summers, and the reconfirmation of Ben Bernanke. He gave himself a B+ and I give him a solid D with an opportunity for failure if he continues. If he does not make up any progressive ground, I surely hope he decides not to run again because he will only have a chance to win against some loathesome opponent who liberals get galvanized against. Obama has, one year into his presidency, lost the support of progressives because he appears to have no spine at all.

20. Perhaps we, as Americans, should refuse to vote for anyone who does not sign a contract with us about their policies and, failure to meet those policies would (i) nullify their re-election, (ii) cost them their totality of personal wealth down to $250,000.00, and (iii) shame them historically.

21. "My country right or wrong" is the most disgusting phrase I have ever heard uttered. This is where we get mass murdering empirial dictatorships rather than free and open peaceful cooperation. "Love it or leave it" is not an option for poor liberals. Blind nationalism, like blind religious faith, is a disease that can only be cured through a dampening of propeganda on the part of a just government and an elightening of minds on the part of educators.

22. All of this said, America is one of the greatest nations that has ever existed on the face of the Earth in its intent, its potential, and most certainly, its power. Our creative, intellectual, and cultural output is massive and our universities are some of the best in the world. We are a generous and well-meaning people even if our leaders lead us astray from time to time. No other nation on Earth is so diverse or tolerant of diversity.

23. In 2010, the best way to destroy America, and perhaps the world, is to do nothing other than simply continue to remove all economic regulation from the financial sector of our economy. Also, continue to let people die because they don't have health insurance. Let people starve and go homeless while the rich piss gold. Especially when every American can plainly see that everyone in every other first world country gets proper healthcare. Let the education system fail and make us illiterate. Let the gun toting masses in rural America slip through the cracks.

23[1]. Let the poorest of us have to steal food and clothes to survive and escalate the police force to keep us from stealing. Crack down harder and harder on non-violent drug offenders. Make the prisons swell until they burst. Keep slashing the rights of workers to organize and keep dissolving unions that allow people decent wages. This process has already gone quite far in destroying our country and in handing all of our wealth over to a few thousand super privileged Americans.

23[2]. The disparity will not sit well with an angry, desperate, more than well-armed, ignorant, poor populace that has nothing to lose and has been stockpiling ammunition for years. I am not one of these people, but there are tens of millions of them and they scare me too, because the result of a new American revolution led by ignorant, hawkish, Christian fundamentalists like Michelle Bachman, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, and Rush Limbaugh is pretty much the end of the world for everyone.

23[3]. That's what a lot of these people want. Jesus time. Apocalypse now. The Rapture they read about in popular fiction. I certainly hope we will not allow this to happen, but never underestimate America's ability to surprise and the Democrats' ability to bend over to more forceful elements in our political spectrum. Remember, Republicans impeached Clinton for lying.

The Democrats wouldn't impeach Bush when he misled the country about a war that resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths. Lying < War Crimes? I guess for spineless Democrats who control the government at the moment, this inequality is true. I will never forgive Democratic leadership in the United States for overlooking war crimes that we ourselves wrote into the Geneva Convention. If we capture the devil himself, we should not torture him lest we become him.

24. In 2010, Al Franken, Keith Olberman, Rachael Maddow, Bernie Sanders, Alan Grayson, Barney Frank, and Dennis Kucinich are impressive to me. I would argue that these figures represent a conservative socialist viewpoint that, when compared to the rest of the first world, is actually very much center-right.

This means that they actually represent a much more centrist view than critics of the left-right extremes typically put forth. This also means that, compared to the rest of the world, the right-wing of America is extremely and, in my opinion, dangerously right wing. Rupert Murdoch's influence through propaganda machines like FOX news is critical. I think he represents an outdated, ignorant worldview designed to benefit the wealthy and oppress minorities.

25. Those who would say that the left-wing media of MSNBC and MoveOn.org and the right-wing media, like Fox News and Rush Limbaugh, are equivalent are terribly wrong. The right wing media uses distortion techniques to attempt to present themselves as unbiased and for the people. Rather, they are for corporate interests and the duping of the average person into voting largely against their economic interests.

The left-wing media is biased towards wanting justice, peace, and reason in America. The left wing is for higher education while the right wing fears intellectuals. The right wing has guns and bibles and the left wing has books and brains. The divisions in America along these often geographic lines is more and more apparent.

26. I sympathize with libertarian social principles but, I think, their economic policies will result in further degradation of the quality of life for most Americans. But, libertarians aren't concerned with other people, which is why I am not a Libertarian as I once was. This is why people have to be taxed, in other words, forced, to help others in their community. Left to their own devices, people will not help. This is primarily why I am a conservative socialist. The ignorance about what the word socialism actually means, in America, is staggering.

26[1]. And, my particular belief in socialism is that people should be allowed to keep most of their income until they reach various levels of luxury income. In 2010, we must make subjective judgements about these things in order to give examples. I do not think people at the poverty level should be taxed but helped through a redistribution of wealth that provides them with quality food, shelter, clothing, and education. These basic necessities would bring America into the first world in terms of how it treats it's poor.

26[2]. People perhaps making as much as two times the poverty level can be taxed lightly with considerations for families and single parents. People who make more than $50,000.00 per individual can begin very light luxury taxation (20%), $100,000.00 modest (30%), $500,000.00 (40%), and those who make more than $1,000,000.00 per year can be taxed somewhat heavily (50%), $10,000,000.00 fairly heavily (60%), $100,000,000.00 heavily (70%), while those who make $1,000,000,000.00 a year can be taxed rigorously (80%).

26[3]. At the moment, the system depends almost entirely on the middle class and the wealthiest are subsidized. This makes no sense.

27. I would say that Barack Obama's election has so far, as of early 2010, been a great toning down of neoconservative imperialism and corporatism, but if we, as Americans, really want change, then more progressives will have to put themselves up as candidates and vote in times when we are depressed, in order to make the Democratic party truly reformational. We must remove the so-called Blue Dog Democrats starting with Mary Landrieu. They are what I like to call Republicrats. Let's get all the Republicrats out of the Democratic party so we can take back control of congress.

New Ideas on 21st November, 2010:
______________________________________

0% of people polled thought statistics were statistically significant and, when asked, "Do you believe a fucking word out of your government's lying, stinking mouths?" The answer was a resounding, "NOPE". DUH. WAKE UP. NO ONE BELIEVES YOU ANYMORE. YOU'VE GOT THE CREDIBILITY OF WHALE DUNG THE WHOLE LOT OF YOU.

FRISK US, RAPE US, KILL US ALL, BUT YOU'LL NEVER GET TO CHANGE ONE CRUCIAL LITTLE THING THAT YOU FUCKTARDS ALL KEEP OVERLOOKING: YOU CAN'T KILL THE FUCKING TRUTH.

- YOU'RE A BUNCH OF NAZI COWARDS AND THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD WANT THE THIRD/FOURTH REICH GONE (I say this because so many Nazis came to the U.S. under Operation Paperclip).

IT WON'T LOOK PRETTY WHEN WE PRY OPEN YOUR SICK FUCKING PLOTS AND SCHEMES, BUT THEY'RE ALREADY ALL HERE FOR US TO SEE. THANK GOD FOR EVERYONE STILL LOYAL TO AMERICA. I SEE NOTHING BUT COWARDS AND ACCOMPLISES, GREEDY, FAT LITTLE HANDS WITH BLOOD ALL OVER THEM.

But, you know, then again, there are flowers and rainbows and children and music. Just let us play in peace big brother because you're not looking so big and scary to me. The Devil triumphs when the good stay silent but the trick is knowing just how much power we all have over him- it is total and complete. That fucker does, ultimately, and every time, what God says- remember that. Free will for now, the cessation at a whim.

FROM ONE ROMAN CITIZEN TO THE REST, EXPEL THIS STINKING PILE OF SHIT FROM OUR HALLS AND FROM OUR STEPS WHERE GREAT HUMAN BEINGS HAVE GONE BEFORE AND BETTER YET ARE TO BE BORN. END THIS SAVAGERY UPON OUR FELLOW BEINGS AS THE WHOLE UNIVERSE LOOKS ON, IN HORROR, AT OUR VIOLENCE.

THERE ARE TOO MANY CORRUPT OLD MEN AND CORRUPT OLD MINDS RULING US NOW.

BUT SOON, WE WILL BE FREE IF WE ONLY CHOOSE TO BE.

America can be a great beacon of hope, peace and justice. But, not if we fail to clean our own house of dirt and scum. Our halls are riddled with liars and greedy panderers. America has become the new imperial power and we can either make Earth a beautiful eutopia of peace and reason or we can lay waste to it as the demons want us to.

But all you demons need to wake up for your master is calling and, ultimately, let's do some theology. God is omniscient, omnipotent, all good, infinite, and eternal. What have I left out? I think this covers it. So, translation: God is everywhere, god is everything, god is all-powerful, and god is all good.
