Don't piss off the gods! [View All]

Winston Smith, the main character in Orwell's "1984" committed "thought crime" by questioning the word of Big Brother. We are near that same stage in the US now. People in the US are exhibiting many of the characteristics of the people Orwell depicted: subservient, self-centered, nasty, sniveling, groveling--and don't even know it--assholes.
I was watching the PBS series "Carrier" about the Aircraft Carrier USS Nimitz. Those people on that ship were veritable automatons, indoctrinated with state sponsored religion and "we can do no wrong" attitude that is easily converted into perverse violence like that of Abu Ghraib. When the failure of Iraq becomes undeniable even to these people then WATCH OUT!!
They will be looking for scapegoats and that means anybody who thinks and speaks out about the truth. The process of eliminating thinking people is now underway in the US: "no fly lists" that curtail 1st amendment rights without due process, surveillance and harassment of citizen's--I have personally been experiencing this for years, censorship using mafia tactics of coercion are just a few of these methods.

Socrates was one year a famous philosopher and veteran adored by most Greeks and the next forced to commit suicide for his truth telling about the disastrous Peloponnesian War (Athens "Vietnam"). This is what happens to a people when they allow their country to be taken over by thugs. Their frustration turns to antipathy for the easiest targets. The Athenians thought they lost the war with Sparta because the gods were angry at them for impiety; Socrates science was to much for the idiots so they forced him to take poison, after a trial of course.

It's very easy to get people to join in this process of violence; it has been shown in study after study (See "Milgram")that human beings are easily taught to do the most heinous things if they are told they are doing it for the preservation of something higher. In regards to "Carrier" I was simply amazed at how a whole generation--college educated and otherwise--that have come of age in the Post-Vietnam Era could have such a large segment of its population turn out to be so utterly full of shit. The stupid bastards learned no fucking thing from Vietnam. They are docile, easily manipulated by those pandering to their vanities, nasty little turds. They are into medals, awards, having kids (to prove they are adults) etc. and don't give a shit about the fact that they are murdering innocent people. There deference to authority is mind blowing. Some of the officers on the Nimitz spoke contemptuously about people who question the wisdom of getting into the Iraq War. These pathetic assholes (officers) have college degrees and after all that has been shown about the fact that the Iraq war is ALL about oil and corporate power they still talk this shit!!

If Vietnam should have taught the US anything it was to: QUESTION AUTHORITY!!!

The exact opposite is what was learned. What happened?? Do these idiots think that the US lost in Vietnam because there wasn't enough deference to authority??? There has never been a more wimpish, ignorant, religiously indoctrinated, self-absorbed generation of Americans in the history of this country. They are incapable of learning and growing because they are incapable of self-criticism. The noise of Religion is the way they avoid the quiet necessary for self-criticism. They honestly believe that if they just pray hard, kiss their superiors ass enough, and watch movies about how great America is that everything will be OK.

I think the vast majority of the US citizens deserve what is happening to them. They have had ample time to wake the fuck up and have decided not to. Now they will be looking for those who have pissed off God and caused us to lose Iraq.



I don't even know why I write this shit anymore???
