In the land of Oz, there lived a wizard...

Posted by CyberMom on Monday, July 27, 2009 3:38:54 PM
   And, this grand, old and wisened wizard could only be found at the Emerald City. There, deep within the guarded walls of his crystal palace, those few, brave souls who came to call upon the wizard, were met with his terrible and fiery rage that had intimidated them into submission and agreement. In fact, stories tell of a girl from a star named Kansas who agreed to commit theft from another, simply because the wizard demanded it. He wanted her, to take away someone else's strength and power, so that he could make his own, and thus, the collective's power, even greater..... And, you know the rest of the story. Of course, the information spoken of within the central chamber where the wizard resided was safeguarded, and those who entered were told never to tell of the information they learned, for it was, "secret." Starting to sound more and more familiar? Makes you yearn for that simple, farm life, where you worked hard and gave up your search for wealth and accepted your lot in life. Not really a fairy tale ending either way you look at it.
 
Now, some of you... most of you... if any of you are out there.. lol... may take serious offense to what I'm about to write. In fact, I warn you now - don't judge till you reach the end - for I have another tale to weave that will offend. You see, there once was a young Senator named Barrack Obama, who was well off, well provided for and lacked for nothing. He knew he had the backing to overcome the odds, but also he knew, that the government was corrupted. He knew the politicians could be bought off, the police force acted with prejudice and without a sense of justice and that the law had so many holes in it, that truth leaked right out onto the floor every time you tried to use it. So, he decided one day to follow his dream. It wasn't to be a President, it was to make a change. He wanted to fix everything. But, he knew, as President, he was going to have limitations. For you see, in the land where young Obama resided, the President was to be a symbol for the people, but had become a patsy for Congressional and special interest. So, he began his career by appointing Czars - heads of departments, staffs and operations, who were above Congress. The only people they had to answer to was: Obama himself.
 
Should he make an office and leave it to Congress to run? How had Congress fared over the last Century or two? No, he had to change the rules - even his own rules - to supercede their authority. Obama knew that while the FBI will investigate a U.S. Soldier's background to the day of their birth, confirming where they lived and with whom they communicated in order to prevent anti-American sympathizers from gaining power (based solely upon their associations growing up), he would have to reposition himself and hide his past contacts the best he could. After all, if the FBI was that strict against top secret military personnel, wouldn't they be even stricter against him? So, Barrack fired the head Inspector General and hired a new one, who only answered to him. But, Barrack not only mistrusted Congress, he didn't trust the people. He knew they could be lead like sheep and be dangerous to his goals. So, he began drawing up bills for Congress to pass, that he would try to force through without having them read, so that the people didn't rebel.
 
Understand, Obama wanted change. He wanted to make things better. Rather than health care as it is now, he wanted the extreme opposite - because he had learned that "baby," steps, would get him nowhere. Rather than run out of money, he decided to authorize mass spending of money. And, there were problems in the land of Oz. When Jo the Plumber came to the Emerald City Gates, the gatekeeper wouldn't let him in. And, because Obama couldn't trust anyone, and was so afraid of trusting his own Government or turning to people for votes, that soon he was passing laws without the people - and without Congress. He was so afraid of his own Government, that he began he began passing votes without them and positioning people into power who would support his goals.
 
And, just maybe- Obama's not trying to destroy America. You see, this is a fairy tale ONLY because: We don't know what Obama's really thinking. But, then I stepped back and looked in again, and I saw exactly what I just wrote. Obama wants change - but Congress - good luck. Obama wants reform, but trying to get things passed by the people - heck - they voted for him, how could he trust ANY of them?! His only choice to save us is to do it his way, and that means over-riding the government and the people. The only problem, where Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother told her daughter what path to take through the forest, it seems that Obama's willing to follow one that has warning signs posted all over it.
 
Of course, I'm not saying this is what's "really," happening. I'm just playing Devil's Advocate here, and giving you a view into another, possible alternate to consider. Because, if we want change, what would you have Obama do, trust Congress to get it done? Would you have him rely on the legal system as it's designed now? Would you have him put it to vote? What course of action do you want him, to take? On the other hand, we mustn't forget what Mr. Bush Jr. told us: Once Obama was in the Whitehouse, regardless of whatever platforms he stood upon or principals he proclaimed, he would know what the President knew; the terrible secrets of "what's coming," that we, the people, don't know, and he would have to act upon it. And, what have we seen? We've watched Obama even go against his own party's desires with this health care bill now. What possible future could he have been shown - what truth could have been revealed to him, that he would do this? What fear of of his own government could give him cause to act as he is now? So - ask yourself - is it really a "totalitarian," attitude that he has, or is he really, "afraid?"
 
Oh well, enough of our fairy tale for today. Let's get back to reality now. What's on today's agenda - a four thousand page health care bill? Now THAT'S a fairy tale.....

Okay, we're awake - now what?

Posted by CyberMom on Thursday, April 16, 2009 1:25:14 PM
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

We don't need Mary Poppins - we NEED the TRUTH (pt 2)

Posted by CyberMom on Wednesday, March 18, 2009 12:17:28 PM
Continuing on... you see... one of the very, most precious gifts that the Lord has seen fit to bestow upon me is: vision. You can call it prophecy, strangeness, illusions, delusions, dreams, whatever. Personally, I don't care what you call it. When you read the following, perhaps you'll see what I mean:
 
You see, I saw this army. They were slothful and fat. They were dumb and lazy. They fought amongst themselves, hurting each other. They stayed in their armor, dirty, smelly, constantly stuffing their faces, falling asleep in between everything they had to do and so on. Why? Because, the government that commanded them, that ordered them to kill and commit corruption and help them get away with anything they wanted, that government knew, that the BEST way to control these people was to keep them happy - all the time. Keep the wool over their eyes. If these people weren't fat and eating themselves to death, they were tired and asleep. If they weren't doing either of those, they were doing what the government told them. If one of them got injured and complained (as I saw two of them fight, the bigger one cutting off the smaller ones' arm and the smaller one running around for help), nobody listened. Nobody responded. They let him bleed to death and die. Everybody was too preoccupied with themselves to care. They wore their 'armor' like it was some kind of security blanket. They believed their personal power and authority to be absolute because they were given whatever they wanted.
 
Meanwhile - the people suffered. That food did not come for free. It came from the starving homes of children. They were fed sweets and candies and all sorts of "goodies", that were, in reality, very, very bad for them. Their sense of 'justice,' hurting the innocent, even one another, without consideration for morality, lef them to self-indulgance. Their constantly falling asleep simply kept them busy and out of the way. Whenever someone cried out for help, there may have been a spark.. an inkling of interest... but it soon faded. How does this relate to our current society?
 
Simple: we have been lead into self-indulgance, greed and desensitization by the very authorities we trusted to be the shepards. Think I'm being an 'extremist?' Maybe you haven't noticed the cars on the road - the people who pass by the starving and homeless, desensitized to the fact that there REALLY ARE quite a few people out there in need, even if they appear not to be, and instead, pay CASH to 'beautify' the hunk of INANIMATE steel that they call their vehicles - as it's their status symbol. Maybe you haven't noticed your dependence on radio and television. Maybe you haven't noticed that when a news story comes up and we all get excited, it disappears and switches to the next topic before it's ever done and we don't even remember what the last one was! Still don't believe me? How many of you remember who Terri Schiavo is? C'mon - how many? What was the case about? Hey - doesn't matter that the media should have stayed the hell out of it and the law was wrong to intervene in the way they did - but the truth is - who remembers? Who knew about the thousands and thousands of OTHERS who are in hospitals, at the same time Shiavo was, suffering from the same fate? Or, about the millions who have been suffering that fate for the past 30+ years?
 
Here's the one truth above all others I can COMPLETELY assure you of:
 
You don't want to know the truth.
 
I mean that. Not as a 'warning,' but as a 'matter-of-fact' statement. You, personally, would rather NOT know the world is ending, NOT know the economy is failing, NOT know that bad things are going to happen. And, the media KNOWS it! They've been training you, at the order of the shepards (government), for countless years now. They've been masterfully convincing you that death, gangs, violence and such factors are not really, "that big of a deal." Well, that is, unless the Feds suddenly 'want' it to be, and suddenly, there's a "crisis!" Remember the 80's? Remember the stories that made people live in fear in big cities, that you would be carjacked, at gunpoint, at every intersection? You don't? Either you're too young... and it's time you realize that you NEED to be educated for YOURSELF... or you were trained to ignore it and move on. How many of you remember the "AIDS" epidemic? Where did that go? The "Killer bees?" The "Bird flu".... people.. "ANTHRAX?" Where have these things gone? Go ahead - take a sealed, manilla envelope to a courthouse, with documentation to turn in, stand in line and try to open it up in front of the court clerk. Know what he/she's going to tell you? GO OUTSIDE and do that. They're not allowed to let you open the envelopes in the courthouse because of the Anthrax concern. You can't bring sealed documents into a courthouse for that reason!! But... where'd the story go? Since when did we ALL become the terrorists?
 
It's simple. Mary Poppins... isn't real. Sorry. Hate to spoil it for you, but she's only the representation of the good within each and everyone of us if we ever chose to look for it. Her umbrella is love. Her smile is charity. Her gift was not profit, for in truth, it came with a price. If we want things to be better in our lives, we have to WORK for it. No, I'm NOT talking about the daily, grinding, boring, unrewarding and unrelenting job you have simply so you can pay off some debts and continue to incur others, hoping against hope to stay in that "comfort" zone; I'm talking about yourselves, your friends, and your family.
 
This isn't a 'cheery,' lovey, make you feel all warm-hearted turn around. It's the truth. In the vision I was given, the one person who watched all of this pain could sit by no longer. They began to fight back. Sure, the guards... the people... who had been kept in limbo, were gong to suffer and be hurt. They were going to find themselves at the ends of boots and fistacuffs, not out of anger, but out of love. Something HAD to break their routine. Unfortunately, in the world we're in, there's only one 'wake up' call that can be severe enough to aid the vast majority now:
 
War. Not even natural disasters work anymore. Look at South west America. What happened to the south? What happened to the people? Do you even know? A tsunami SO powerful, that it flooded multiple CITIES, wiped out homes and destroyed lives... but... the media, who capitalized on it when it happened, quickly buried it to keep you from caring. What about the flood that hit asia and killed over 100,000 people? The orphaned children? Have you heard about them? It profitted the media... and then *poof*, just like magic, it went away. You see, when the media tries to be "mary poppins," they swoop in, make everything look good, take their money and then leave. But, unlike Mary Poppins, they don't actually fix anything. In fact, just the opposite. They end up making things worse because we never had time to deal with the original problems that were there and are suddenly encountering newer, even more devastating problems! Be afraid folks.. be very afraid. And if you aren't now.. you will be ... you will be. (no... I'm not paying Lucasfilms for that either.... nor am I getting paid, so we can call it even).
 
We need the truth. we need to know everything sucks. This isn't because we 'need' a downer. We're ALREADY in a depressed state. This is the most depressed nation of people in the UNIVERSE.. at any given time in all of HISTORY! But, when a person's down, what do you do? Do you sit in there and tell a manic depressive, "hey bud, it's gonna be okay,"? Do you look in at the person sitting in the bath tub, getting ready to slice their wrists open or drop a hair dryer in the water with them and say, "Don't look so glum, buddy, things are gonna work out!"? YOUR positivity makes people MORE depressed. Maybe things WILL work out. Maybe they'll just work out for YOU. But, by pretending everything's beautiful - we are only MASKING the truth. By ignoring the problem, we are only letting it GET WORSE. You have to step up to the people, you have to take 'em by the hand and say, "HEY - YEAH - things SUCK - things are BAD - and probably, they are going to get WORSE! AND, I can't promise you I can fix them, or they'll EVER get fixed, but sitting here sulking, sitting here getting ready to give up... even sitting here PRETENDING that your house is NOT on fire will ONLY BURN YOU."
 
What is it the President said that the news jumped all over? (now remember... I'm NOT an Obama supporter... but here's the truth): He said: People, the economy's bad. Things don't look good. We need change NOW. We need to do something immediately or we're all going to fail.
 
So, why did the government (aka controllers of and via the media), slap down the request for positivity. People WERE listening to the President and WERE trying to get prepared for the worst. They WERE watching the news and saying, "hey - we're all being cheated and lead like lambs to the slaughter - we NEED change." But, it wasn't the change the President wanted. The government didn't want us involved. Instead, they realized their mistake. Rather than us just accepting their totalitarian authority, we were going to rebel, and in order to appease the masses, they are filling our plates with "goodies," they are shrouding us in "armor," and they are trying to quietly separate themselves from us. The results?
 
Those "goodies," these "incentives", the "stimulus package," and other factors... are actually NOT good for us at all, and we will suffer for indulging in them.
The "armore," the 'protective blanket,' that tells people to spend, spend, spend, people to be okay with the idea their nest egg will return, people not taking action against AIG, believing the government is doing it for them, will wake up from their slumber only to find their armor was cheap ol' plastic and aluminum, and when the sword comes down, we will be hurt... badly.
And, their separation... well... you've read George Orwell's, 1984, haven't you? What about Ayn Rand's, When Atlas Shrugged? (1984 is on video for those of you lazy people.. like me :)... don't know if atlas shrugged is.. you can look it up if you want). If you have.. then you've been warned.. you're just ignoring it. If you haven't... then you're the ones who are going to suffer doubly, unaware that the tsunami will hit.
 
It takes one person, folks. A guy from Texas told the IRS - "I'm not paying taxes. You can't make our elected officials do it.. who are NOT above the law... you can't make me do it." Another gentleman followed after a senator and caught up with him in the white house, on camera, and video tapped his attempts at forcing the Senator to answer the question, "Why are YOU not being held responsible for your actions and how can YOU represent the people if you're cheating them?"
 
But, do you hear about them now? Nope. The news doesn't want you to hear that 'negativity.'?????
 
Finally... let's not forget one, important point. Mary Poppins - the REAL story of Mary Poppins - wasn't the kind nanny who 'shielded' anyone from the truth. She was adamant that the solution to the problem can only come when we face the REAL problem. She didn't tell the children the banks were corrupt or deceiptful. She didn't tell them their father was just another corrupted bureaucrat. She told him the truth about the world around him. The little old lady who feeds the birds really COULD use their support. THAT was a worthy cause. She didn't diss on the banks. She didn't tear into "father." She let them destroy themselves, but cound only do so by EDUCATING the children with the truth. You cannot defend yourself if you are not equipped. You need the truth. You need to believe in what's right. You need to stand up. You need to not let the few who have tried be the only ones. No one rose up after Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. fell, and because of it, his dream was corrupted (referring back to the post regarding the boondocks and segregation). The impoverished CAN'T do it alone. YOU - ALL of you - must fight. Think you're going to risk what you have? What have you got? Really... what is it? What is so valuable to you that you don't believe in freedom? Your stuff? ... too sad for me to comment on.... Your family? Sure.. till they get hit with the 200 - 400% tax increase, and money will tear everything apart.. war will tear it apart....
 
Maybe your wealth? What you profit from today, will have to be taken away tomorrow - when you'll need it the most - to pay for everything you were given today. Your life? What life? What are you here for? What are you working for? What are you doing? Don't be afraid to be the one. It has to be a chain.. it has to continue.. and only when our voices raise.. only when one.. after another.. after another.. fight.. die and care MORE about the future then themselves.. does change happen.
 
Just look at Christ. If it was good enough for the Son of GOD, to die as a mortal, to save the people; and His disciples to do the same, then should we not quit inflating our egoes and also stand up?..... think about it... not today.. not tomorrow.. but soon....

We don't need Mary Poppins - we NEED the TRUTH (pt 1)

Posted by CyberMom on Wednesday, March 18, 2009 11:31:52 AM
It's all over the news; the media has been having a feeding frenzy on the issue: positivity. Barrack Obama needs to be more 'positive' in his speeches. The media needs to be more 'positive'. There are articles being published, calling for the media and press to start reporting 'good times,' not negativity.
 
But, does trying to transform the President and the media into a virtual 'Mary Poppins,' come with a price?
 
The answer is: yes; a very, very steep price. Here's the truth:
  • The economy has failed.
  • Democracy has failed.
  • Capitalism has failed.
  • Greed has led us down the poophole.
  • Churches have quit offering the truth.
  • The government's level of corruption is at an all-time high.
  • Government spending is out of control.
  • Our future generations are about to be totally screwed.
  • We NEED change NOW - not tomorrow or in a few years, NOW.
  • IF change doesn't happen, all of us alive today, WILL feel the terrible effects before it's over - and we WILL suffer too.
 
Sound very positive? No? Let me "Mary Poppinize" it for you in the way the media would like to see it:
  • Hey, the economy will get better, don't worry.. spend, spend, spend!
  • The Government's not responsible... past government's were, and this is a brand new day and age of honesty and integrity!
  • Don't blame corporate America, corporate greed is a good thing, it stimulates fair growth for small businesses and all of us.
  • You have every RIGHT to DEMAND MORE money... and we SHOULD spend more.. it's a good thing...
  • Separation of Church and State is an 'old school' philosophy, we need to do it Rome's way, where the government commands religion and policies exist to FORCE specific variations in faith...
  • Our politicians are there for US! They love us and care! They won't do ANYTHING that we wouldn't want them to do!
  • Don't worry about the 'free' money, we'll print more. After all, if you still have checks in your checkbook, are you REALLY broke?
  • The future generations don't know what's good for them. We do. We'll fix it.. just wait it out and see.. and if it's too late to fix it later, well, then we can all look back and laugh at this, right?
  • Change will come, just keep trudging away in your lives, and you'll see... aren't things getting better right now?
  • It's our job today, to care about tomorrow, and we can make the difference, we'll just add the taxation later on... and of course, there's no need to concern ourselves with a 400% tax increase on future generations... they'll have TONS of money, won't they?
Hmmm.... well, I don't know about you, but I feel SO much better! Whew! What a relief! Things are looking GREAT! I'm not gonna worry about unemployment, failing small businesses or HUGE government spending bills. I'm not gonna let AIG or the banks get me down! I'm going forward now! I'm preparing for my future! I'm... what's that? What do you mean I didn't have the money to spend? What do you mean the stock prices are still falling and I've lost everything? What do you mean I have nowhere to live? What do I do now?
 
What do you mean you have no answers because we wiped ourselves out? Didn't Mary Poppins save us? Didn't her umbrella of protection against the storms bring us new hopes? Didn't the bank hire back the family head that they fired so brutally and unjustifiably (as he finally stood against their greed), and give him a raise and higher rank and position? WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE MOVIES AREN'T REAL???
 
Folks, it's called the primrose path:
Do not, as some ungracious pastors do,
Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven,
Whiles, like a puff'd and reckless libertine,
Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads
And recks not his own rede.
 
Hypocrisy. It's pure and simple. The doctor is dedicated to healing people... which is to say, 'he cares about people,' .... but only those who can afford it, which is, in contrast, to say, 'he doesn't care for people.' The politician is dedicated to representing the interests and needs of the people who elect him, which is to say, 'he is there to serve the people,' .... but passes bills without them, generates money for the government and his own raises, which is, in contrast, to say, 'he serves himself.' The police officer is dedicated to enforcing laws against lawbreaking citizens, which is to say, 'he serves the interests of justice for the safety of the people,'.... but instead, matlock isn't real, the detectives constantly attack and berate innocent people, shoot innocent people, imprison innocent people, stalk the people assuming their guilt and constantly lie because they don't care about hurting the innocent majority to get a few bad guys to get their money raises and exert/show off their power, which is, in contrast, to say, 'they serve their personal agendas.' This list goes on...
 
Congress just announced that they are going to, "end this foolish, automatic, cost of living increase, which, in these hard economic times, is ridiculous and unfair to the people." [They are now going to require a vote to pass cost of living increases]...
 
.... okay... stay with me on this one... (trying not to laugh out loud here)....
 
Congress did NOT, just announce, that they are going to stop giving "themselves" continuous raises, but rather, they are going to stop seeing to it that the American public, the PEOPLE, stop getting cost of living wage increases unless it is voted upon. Wait a second.. wasn't it... "we the people," who voted in to have the cost of living increases? Who remembers this? C'mon --- I know YOU do! YOU remember that YOU WANTED your employers to be forced to adjust their minimum wage levels for cost of living increases!! But, it doesn't MATTER what YOU want. YOU'RE JUST the PEON voter who means NOTHING in a Democracy. Now, Congress will vote on it.. FOR YOU. In fact, the cost of living increase vote also helped limit the old, Congress-giving-themselves-automatic-raises-whenever  the heck they wanted to, procedure. But, now, Congress will get to reinstate that. Fix the "old" Bush ways that were so screwed up.. you know... the ones that said the people's wages have to be adjusted for the cost of living increases? Remember that now?
 
When we are LIED to - when we are lead to believe that everything's 'beautiful,' we are NOT dealing with the Mary Poppins' of the world.. oh no... we are dealing with the Bernie Madoffs. We are dealing with the Fannie Mae's and Freddie Mac's. We are dealing with the CORRUPTED, GREEDY, SELFISH people that are trying to get their OWN agendas by you by "snow-jobbing" you. Why do they want you to be happy? Well... let me 'splain.... in part 2.. hee hee hee

YOUR responsibility to talk radio

Posted by CyberMom on Sunday, March 08, 2009 8:09:26 PM
Let me be the first to say that I salute individuals like Sean Hannity, Laura Ingram, Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh for having the guts to stand up and say what needs to be said. I absolutely oppose the "fairness doctrine," because it is another step, since the 60's, for the existing government to convert this country into an Empire. However, we MUST be careful when listening to these radio talk shows, because quite often, they get an idea in their head, drown out the truth and run with it. Or, they abuse potentially important topics that the people of this country NEED to hear in order to obtain ratings. In order to illustrate my point, I'll start with one of the more infamous folks (since Rush is already recieving enough media from the extremely confused liberals), Sean Hannity.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzX6tkLmgAM&feature=related

For those that take the time to view the above video, you will have already heard the attack on ex-governor, Jesse Ventura, for his book speaking out against the American government, warning the people of its lies, deception and our eventual fall into facism. Let me give you a couple of quick definitions on facism:

  • a political theory advocating an authoritarian hierarchical government (as opposed to democracy or liberalism)
  • A political regime based on strong centralized government, suppressing through violence any criticism or opposition of the regime, and exalting ...

I'm not sure what that says to you, but what it says to me, are principals that are NOT, inherently, democratic or republic. It is not a system whereby the people's vote counts or the people are included in the incorporation of laws and principals such as the Patriot Act, when abused on American soil by law enforcement, act as the foundation of a Marxist Socialism. Yet, for those of you that took the time to watch the ENTIRE video - and didn't read the streaming media below the individuals speaking - watch it again. What is the main news? The main news is about the invasion of the FLDS church by law enforcement officials, barging in to an open, unlocked Church, with semi-automatic weapons and bashing in the doors of the office building, taking records, taking children and putting them through hell. There are videos of the law enforcement admitting to acting without a search warrant and acting in contrast to the rights guaranteed through the Fourth Amendment. (Let's not forget the 400+ children... FOUR HUNDRED... that had to be returned by DHS because of their blatant disregard for the truth, facts, liberty or JUSTICE)!!

Now - watch the video. Hmm, is Sean Hannity ATTACKING Jesse Ventura for trying to warn the people that we are on the road to Fascism? [And, in my personal opinion - this is the type of comic/tragedy scene which could otherwise only be written of by Shakespeare himself....] Of course... this is probably isolated.. right?

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,128045,00.html
Well, it seems to me that many, many radio DJ's have enjoyed attacking people who question the authority of this government. But wait, what's wrong with that? Well... let's talk about the so-called, "fairness doctrine," in which the radio DJ's, now that it's their hides on the line, are suddenly attacking the government saying that they government’s abusing its powers to control the people. Isn't it funny how somebody will talk in absolute ignorance of a subject until the chickens come home to roost.  

And, now what? Should we just "listen to them" and "trust them?"

http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/4096/ - read what this man has to say - a LOT of it is excellent and is of importance to us, as a people, but be aware, there are always truths within truths.

While I hold Glenn Beck in great esteem for his willingness to REALLY listen to both sides of the issues, he throws around the word "socialism" against the current President, as much as he fought against it during a Republican regime. It's not that Glenn Back stated that he was okay with some of the government's decisions, but he doesn't discuss the fact that "distributed wealth," has EXISTED since the civil war when war vets were supported by the government, and that welfare has been a form of distributed wealth EVER since. There is, of course, a significant difference with what Mr. Obama is trying to do, but I think those distinctions MUST be made in order to clarify these issues for the people, or they will confuse things like "socialism" with "marxist socialism" and "marxist socialism" with "distribution of wealth."

This list of talk show hosts goes on. And, as I've stated in my earlier article on their ignorance of the global climate crisis, they forget the powerful influence they have on people and their real responsibility. You see folks, this is similar to what happened in Nazi Germany. The government after WWI was composed of England, France and several others that marched into Germany, and spent a LONG time persecuting their people, RAPING their women and CHILDREN, murdering the parents in front of their children and vice versa, decimating their economy and severely abusing the people. The "local" government (primarily Jewish) was given control and even they, to an extent, held the German people in a certain amount of control to keep everything 'calm'. (BTW - if you don't know this story - it's because it WASN'T in your textbooks - because the Government we are now speaking about - America - lied - sorry - look it up for yourself). When Hitler tried to speak out against the oppressive control and abuse of his people, his family was hurt and he was thrown in prison for being a troublemaker -

And he broke.

The National Socialist German Worker's Party, began by appealing to a middle class of oppressed people, blaming their trouble on the communists, the Jews (their inherent government), their so-called 'allies,' and the Versailles Treaty. Of course, the Versailles treaty and their so-called 'allies' WERE responsible for what was happening to them. The Jewish government WAS telling them to be quiet and take the abuse, and of course - EVERYONE blames communism. So - what's the parallel?

Our Radio Talk show hosts are now throwing around the word, "Socialism," like candy, [appearing to be] with clueless about its REAL definition. In fact, the "socialism," that they are talking about is "Marxist" socialism - the same principles that were held by Stalin and Hitler both. Marxist was a Darwinian who redefined the meaning of socialism to fit his concept that the people were too weak to survive and so "big brother" had to help. This is much like Hitler throwing around the word "communism" without too much understanding of its definition. And, of course, the government propogands that they are right while the individual parties, like the Socialist workers and the DJ's (not equating the two - let's not be ignorant - Hitler was a tyrant who NEEDED to die (and a patsy to those using him), while DJ's are just that - DJ's with opinions in a country where they have the right to express them... for now... I'm just pointing out parallels), throw out arguments that they are right and the government is lying. What happens?

People are torn. Of course, this is where Hitler was able to create his 25 point doctrine and lead people in the direction he did. It's almost the same fragile point that America is in, where one person will say the key words that people want to hear, and they will fight for a cause. What to think about this? Well - that's the point - YOU NEED to think for YOURSELF. Sure, listen to what they have to say. There are ALWAYS three sides to every story. But, to give you an idea:

ALL the right-wing talk show hosts are attacking the 'global warming' folks. The government is trying to support a renewable energy package that may or may not help to mitigate this issue, but in the end, it is falling under attack for that same reason. And, what's the argument of the talk show hosts: "Maybe these 'global warming' folks need to look outside their window at the snow and rain and how cold it is!" I won't go into the argument presented in an earlier post on this site, but the fact is, when they take a position, without the truth or knowledge about what's REALLY going on behind the scenes, they can talk about issues in a way that's DANGEROUS to the American public. People ignore a growing concern that "could" come back to hurt them (notice I said could - the point being - DON'T dismiss the issue - just keep everything in perspective until you've heard it all).

Sounds like Sean Hannity making fun of Jesse Ventura for saying the government's being oppressive one year, and then the next year crying to the people for "their support" because the government's trying to "oppress" him. Maybe - if he had the facts that Ventura did - Maybe, if he HAD LISTENED and addressed issues on a fair platform, he might actually be worth his weight in salt. Without that, he's NOT reporting the news. Is Ventura right? I don't know - I'm NOT there... but I will listen, without mocking, and I will pay attention to the world around me and consider everything going on - not live in a comfy little box. Will I stop listening to Hannity? Of course not - the usual songs on the radio suck and I'm too lazy to change the channel and I like background noise. Of course, I'll hear what he and other hosts have to say, but occassionally, knowing the truths that THEY DON'T - and seeing how they react when they find themselves at gunpoint - I'll continue to enjoy them as news sources with opinions that STILL need to be followed up on and checked on... in orde to THINK FOR MYSELF. Of course, I won't give the liberal media news reporters who also blatantly stick their feet in their mouths any greater attention either. And, what's sad, is that lines will be drawn. The people are feeling the oppression being placed upon them financially, and they are NOT thinking for themselves. They are feeling the fear of a Gestapo-style law enforcement. The people they trust to tell them the truth are occassionally speaking without full consideration of the truth. And, we are all at that vital stage that split Germany - part into the NAZI part, the other part into submission and fear. This is NOT about the talk show hosts - this is about YOU - the people!

So - be careful what your radio talk show hosts tell you. They are telling you ONLY what they believe. They are telling it to you from their perspective. They are NOT "giving it to you straight," "bringing you the news you need to hear," "telling you the truth that the liberals won't." They are telling you what they feel is true and right. Sure, when they say the President lied and there ARE earmarks in his bill, that's the truth and yes, the President lied. But, listen to folks like Dennis Miller who has changed his mind more times than Bill Clinton changes female "assistants" and is more wishy-washy than the current administration. He was against Obama during the election, then for him, then against and for, and then for him when Obama was President, and now against him with this new budget. Is Dennis wrong? Nope. Dennis is not wrong. Is Dennis making any sense? To a certain degree, at each flip-flop, he is. What does it all mean? It means - he goes with the flow - whatever is popular. He's in the business to make money - not ramble because he's bored (like me) - the same as the rest of them are. And a salesman is, was and always will be - a salesman. Sometimes, they are just telling you what you want to hear, when you want to hear it - and sometimes - the truth is quite different.

And now - they attack Bush - the ones who supported him. They mock the man they helped to get elected. And, worst of all - you KNOW they don't go back and watch their shows, because if they did - they'd see what I pointed out to you in that first link.

Of course - it IS talk radio, and on talk radio - in-between their broadcasts, are the radio announcements for the Federal Department of Justice trying to get everyone to sign up to the National Registry, giving all their information to the government to help control for them. But, have any of you noticed that ad? Did you even hear it? Can you even begin to understand the devastating and dangerous implications that holds for the future of what is supposed to be a "free" country? If not - the reason is simple: the people you're listening to and trusting to tell you the "truth of the matter," are only telling you what is good for the moment, and you are so confused about the future, that it's too difficult to look ahead and see what's coming.

And, this is what I'll leave you with: Folks - I am the least educated, the least informed, the least worthy and the least respected amongst you. I am not a scientist, a teacher, a doctor or any such "admired" individual. I am not in the government, nor do I have "special" contacts. And, there are many points that I believe that I know - there is more than a 50% chance, I am wrong about. But, I'll tell you this, I only say these things because I worry that too many of you have stopped "learning," and are only "hearing." This is one thing I WILL say right now - Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck and Laura Ingram, ALL have my attention. And, at least 95% of the time, I am in absolute agreement with what they say - but that includes my going and looking it up. These folks have a right to their opinion - and you know what? If their opinion was so far off - people WOULDN'T listen to them! I'm GLAD they are here. I'm glad there is one last post - one last stand to be made. I just fear that when people forget it's OUR responsibility to be educated, OUR responsibility to get the facts, OUR responsibility to be RESPONSIBLE, that it positions these talk show hosts, without their having done anything to deserve it, in the dangerous position of having their opinions or thoughts taken too seriously at ALL times. Be aware, these people are just that - PEOPLE. We have NO RIGHT to demand their perfection. They are not Gods. We can only ask them to be as honest and as equal on all issues as possible (which is why I especially enjoy Glenn Beck's show).
 
So, I say - Go - GO listen to them. Hear every word. Read every statement. Take in EVERYTHING they say. Then... educate yourself. Confirm the facts. GET to know the issues. You should NOT be reading my work WITHOUT questioning it - or you're in for just as much trouble. I AM HUMAN... I will make mistakes... and I will say my opinion even sometimes, when I think it's wrong. But I expect YOU to be responsible.. for YOU. That's all!
