When did we lose track? When did we suddenly decide one day that we are sheep, not people, and let those in charge blatantly lie to us? At what point did those in charge decide to start lying to us? I know I've addressed this issue before, but I have a couple more tidbits of "interesting," ideas to help this concern along... for you see, the United States Government has been misleading the people for quite some time. Through Capitalism, America has become a nation of greed and power. Through Capitalism, good people have been hurt. And, while many members of the media talk about America's right to be a 'Capitalist,' society, what they are really trying to refer to (I hope), is free enterprise. But, there's a huge distinction between a Capitalism and free enterprise, and it begins with the corruption of entire nations. Let's begin with an old, "conspiracy," that is not quite such a "conspiracy," as some people might believe:

Flouride. What's that you say? What does Flouride have to do with anything in politics and scandals? Well, I'll let you read the article for yourself. In fact, I encourage you to not just follow the links I've posted, but do your own research - at home or in a library. The sum total explanation is this: Flouride is a toxic waste product, that many scientific studies and EPA standards have validated is poisonous. In fact, one of the EPA reports I've linked to, confirms the facts I am presenting to you now. So, why is it in water? The aluminum industry is huge. In fact, it's so huge, that it has been a major, economic driving force since the post World War II era, when, for many years, the toxic dumping of toxic waste byproducts from aluminum manufacturing were legally deposited in landfills. However, around the mid-70's or so, based on the poisons found in the bloodstreams of millions, the EPA began to set landfill standards - including the refusal of dumping toxic chemicals in oceans, lakes, streams and landfills. Flouride was then a problem that one of the largest textile industries in the world had to deal with. And, thank goodness to Capitalism and money, they were able to buy their way into the water streams of every household and mouth of every person in this country and dispose of it through human ingestion.

Now, let's look at the FCC, television and commercials. You spend time watching your television, enjoying your shows about beautiful people in perfect bodies, with great teeth, a full head of hair and nice, thin waist-lines. This is quickly and FREQUENTLY interrupted by a series of commercials that do what? They tell you how IMPERFECT and UGLY you really are. They point out your bad teeth and the toothpaste you need, the Rogaine or hair coloring products you need for your head, the diet pills and excercise machines for your fat, the face creams and anti-aging products for your skin, and so on and so on. In other words, Hollywood, much like the American Dental Association (ADA), was offered a big, fat check for LYING to you. Hollywood tells you who's ugly, and who's not. Hollywood tells you what's popular and acceptable, and what's not. This marketing strategy is amongst the most corrupt and vile forms of subliminal messaging that is possible, today. Trust me, if you go to take advertising and marketing in college for four or five years, you'll get to see first hand how they mold you into working for the Capitalist markets. But, given these two examples, what has this got to do with Capitalism?

Mind you, I could have chosen from a myriad of tens of thousands of examples. However, I specifically chose two areas of our common, every-day life that we tend to take for granted. I did this, because you need understand, that Government "lies," are not limited to what takes place in "Congress." Forget Congress. The laws they have already passed, the agencies already in place and the people supporting Congress are the biggest threat to our lives. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) - an agency set up by our Government and paid for through tax-payer dollars to regulate the safety of the environment and us, has passed regulations to dump toxic waste into the drinking water and do so under the guise: it's good for you! Remember the advertisements for cigarettes long, long ago? If you have a sore throat - smoke! It REALLY works! In fact, the cigarettes you smoke work so well that they'll numb your throat through the systematic destruction of the cells, providing you long-term relief. Hey, what about the ADA? It is a government established agency designed to regulate the administration of dental services, and along with the FDA, toothpastes, mouthwashes, etc. Go look at your tube of toothpaste right now. No - really, I'll wait. Go get it and come back........ (musical interlude)........... got it? Okay - now read the back: Warning: Harmful or fatal if swallowed - contact the poison control center immediately! [Sure - yours will be a variant of this - but you get the gist]. TOOTHPASTE WILL KILL YOU? Yes. Why? Flouride (amongst one or two other chemicals also contained in some toothpastes). But, that's not really the big one - the big one is a chemical whose initials are SLS. This is an industrial grade, silicon scrubbing agent that is abrasive and designed NOT to remove the plaque from your teeth, but the enamel. Don't believe me? Go ahead - you look this one up.

The point? The point is: The government is lying. And, when the government lies, WE THE PEOPLE SUFFER. I've been saying this for a while, but wanted to point out a couple small parts of your life here: the toothpaste you HAVE to buy to whiten your teeth so you can look like the perfect man or woman from your favorite, unrealistic reality show, is filled with none other than: Toxic waste and chemicals designed to make you need the services of a dentist. Capitalism people. Capitalism is NOT free enterprise. If you'd take a moment, there is a very well written article on Capitalism that was done in 2006, before the Obama era, that clearly outlines some of the major points of Capitalism. An overtly philisophical article was written in 1996 and detailed the failure of these two processes as functional together. The truth, which you will rarely find in many on-line articles and texts out there is this: Capitalism, by its sheer nature and definition, is a political structure that when, the leaders of an economy influence the decisions of a government - it becomes Capitalism. In the case of Democracy, Capitalism is the tip of an iceberg which will eventually sink the Titanic. Capitalism not only represents a minority few, but it represents those who want money. Its selfish greed is self-destructive and will inevitably destroy itself in sheer, Marxist Socialism style when arrogance marches headfirst into the arms of destruction.
