Whilst listening to the radio talk show hosts I hear the consistent claims (of late), that the American people are 'waking up' to the reality of our 'situation.' People want to learn the 'truth' about our history so they can find out what's really going on. Okay, fine. I'll digress on the obvious frustrations that creates (aka this website being about the consequences of what happens when the governments lie to the people - and the people act like mindless sheep), and simply "accept" this concept.
My question is: now what? Great, you finally woke up from this self-induced coma and found yourself in the middle of a collapsing hospital; now what do you do? You'd love to flee, but the same earthquake that's rocking the hospital is rocking the world around you and there's nowhere really safe. You could stand by and take it, but you were already doing that, so that just seems silly. Fight? Sure. Stand up for yourself and try to survive the collapse? Okay, I'll bite... how?
I've heard so many people saying that we should 'call' Congress and chew them out, literally. We should tell them that we're tired of their taking advantage of us. Chew them out for what? The money they're sucking out of the economy? The collapse in jobs? Why don't I call AIG and tell them to shove off? Why don't I call the City and tell them to stop wasting my money? Don't misunderstand - I'm ALL for ONE person doing something. Aka - the "Shot heard round the world." It starts somewhere. But, what is complaining to Congress going to do? They're in office. They're secure. Are they going to reduce taxes? Sure they will! They'll cut taxes and wasteful spending - i.e. schools and libraries and transportation....
But, wait - that's NOT what I meant! I meant to cut out THEIR outrageous spending and wealth earning and be a government FOR the people. But, what's happened already in the 'wake' of our 'waking up?' Congress has done exactly what I just said - they've cut what they believe to be 'unnecessary' services, starting with SCHOOLS and other important functions that directly SUPPORT the people while continuing to flood money into services that MANAGE the people!! This... is getting ridiculous.
I've also heard the claim that we should tell our members of Congress to cut out their hypocrisy. But, just exactly HOW am I supposed to do that? Hypocrisy is defined as: Acting in a manner that is opposed to one's actual beliefs or feelings; contradictory. So, what? Hey you guys - stop being so contradictory. You promised us freedom and liberty and a fair shot but you're self serving, and that's not right!
Yeah - that's gonna work. C'mon. We NEED change. Change, is not coming. Example: Pacific Power and Electric, in the Pacific Northwest, has petitioned the PUC to permit them to raise their rates on the people by 2010. Yep - when everything's still in chaos, jobs are still on the line, PacPower wants to increase rates. Why? More jobs? More people? Nope. They want to do it because they want to make more money - bottom line. Do they need it? Oh, heavens no. They're VERY well funded (you can read my post on how/why Oregon is getting stupider by the minute). Will the politicians stand up to them? Why should they? An increase in our rates means an increase in the tax income base and more money for Uncle Sam. Oregon has a law suspending the license of minors who drink. No - it's not okay that they drink. But, did they drink and drive? NO. That's really making the punishment fit the crime! Way to trust the government to help teach morality to our children!! April is Child abuse prevention month where LOTS of children in Oregon suffer from this fate every year. The Kid's diagnostic and intervention center (who conveniently hides their full name as: The Kid's Center... see that? see how WELL that does NOT state what they REALLY do?), has put up their tree of hope with the names of kids who are suffering and need support.
Sounds b-e-a-utiful, doesn't it? Well, if you've read ANY of my stories in this blog about the truth of DHS, how much abuse they've caused to children by doing what it is they do and how their services are still unable to REALLY help with child abuse prevention because they're TOO busy destroying families to fill their pockets, you might understand how this is hypocriticism in its purest form! (Yes - I know - hypocriticism is not a 'word,' but words are defined by what we choose to define them by and I think you might be intelligent enough to get my point and already know that I don't have an opportunity to edit my own posts for grammar, so please, deal with it).
The point is - telling our Congressmen and Congresswomen: Hey you, stop listening to the rich people, doing whatever it is YOU want to do and start representing us, is all well and good. But, the truth is, we've saying that for years. And then, we do something terrible - WE, the PEOPLE, perform an act of hypocrisy that deteriorates our very foundation of support. We VOTE these people into office. It's no question that Barrack Obama and John McCain had issues - both of them. It's no question that both of them have been in places that we, the people, just can't support. But, we give our Congressional leaders the power to choose FOR us, limit our choices (depriving us of our freedoms), and then vote in the lesser of two evils. Yes - re-read that: two evils. We don't hold our politicians, our elected officials, OR our appointed governmental officials (post office, police, IRS, DHS, etc.) to any standard of accountability. So, go ahead, tell you Congress members to cut more spending, and, they will; just, not where you wanted it cut. Go ahead and tell them to quit being hypocriticizers (a special variant of the word for all you harold & kumar fans...), and then realize YOU voted them into office??!! You trusted them with YOUR money! YOU gave them the power to CONTROL you! YOU agreed to let them pass laws without requiring accountability for their actions.
How many of you saw MSNBC's broadcast of: The Witch hunt?
http://www.tlavideo.com/product/1-0-283234_witch-hunt.html?sn=1 No, this is NOT a historical video. This is an account of innocent people, falsely accused in the 80's, and what's happened to their lives, their children and the people around them. It's an itsy bitsy, teeny weenie slice of the GIGANTIC pie regarding corruption by the police, the courts, the prosecutors and the system in general. It's a "REAL" life look into what's going on, RIGHT NOW, that your media is lying to you about. How many of you know that there were witnesses in the Martha Stewart case that falsified/withheld information? Hmmm? Bet you DIDN'T hear about that. That's NOT what the media portrays, because that's NOT what the government tells them they're allowed to portray. Oh yes, conspiracy theories again, right? Wrong - because if you don't know that there was proof of her innocence - then you don't know everything. No - I'm not exonerating her - I'm picking a case. You can look at Operation Ore in Britain and Operation Candyman in the U.S. to see just how many innocents are STILL being falsely prosecuted, in a 'witch hunt', because our Congressional leaders are NOT interested in OUR best interests. They act irrationally, do what's popular and hide the majority of their actions so that we won't know about it - or understand the truth about what was going on - no matter HOW much history we want to learn - until it's too late and we're a victim of the system.
So, yes - we're awake. Fine. We're ready to do "something." But, what? What do we do? I've argued before on this topic and I'll say it again - I fear this country is in line for a violent revolution of such proportions that our next 20 generations will feel its effects. Multitudes have already gathered in preparation for it. But, folks, it doesn't have to be that way. When you learn your history, and you learn that the government has been lying to you then, know that they're lying to you now! It hasn't stopped! No fairy tale has come true! But, we have other solutions - such as individual States segregating themselves from the Union to begin to return to our roots - as long as they're willing to do it the right way! Not with increased force upon the people, but by going back to the Constitution, in its base form, and reworking changes from there. Eradicating the laws, the taxes and the garbage that's been spewed for the last 240+ years and beginning anew, putting everything out to the people. Sure - some of it will require more time, and we'll all have to be patient. But, I can promise you this: if you believe in God, and you have Faith, in ANY proportion - you don't have to be religious or follow some specific ordinance of any Church - but you rely upon God's FIRST doctrine, His FIRST scriptures - the world around you - you will see the answer. His FIRST book, is this Earth, and all of its creatures upon it. His first promise is there, and I promise you, if you call your Congress people and offer them an opportunity to resign rather than be impeached, if you gather peaceably, but with a REAL goal, not long-winded debates, you'll see an answer.
Good luck. "To be awake is to be alive and I have never met a man who's fully awake." Thoreau
