And whether we like it or not, most of us are extras with no lines.
We must buy the food, gas, electricity, water, air, and every other necessity of life from those who own the stage. And if we can't afford to buy it, we live in cardboard boxes, eat out of dumpsters, and struggle to make it to tomorrow.
"Work hard, play by the rules, obey the law, do unto others ..." etc, etc. Christ, we were really conned. We bought into all the crap we were fed.
Only an imbecile would miss the fact that we've been had. Yes, there was a time in this country when being a decent, hard working human being ensured a good life. But that time has passed. The game today is all about power. You either have it, or you don't. And if you don't have it, the lives of those and your loved ones is a crap shoot.
Sorry to sound so negative and depressing, but this is no longer the country into which so many of us were born.

1. When you think about it, how long was that true? Not until after |
|
WWII brought an end to the depression and only until the time when it took two incomes to support a family, so maybe 1947 to 197_? Pick a year, I'd say '73.

2. Marketing. It's all in the marketing. |
|
The best marketers get paid big buck$. Getting talented people to "work for the people" is hard to do, considering how bad we pay public servants.
You really do get what you pay for sometimes.

3. The result of a concentrated effort to control us through brainwashing |
|
techniques...Since 1947 the PNACers have initiated the PysOps thingy. Over the years, the names have changed and some of the goals but through it all, Social Engineering prevailed....
Unless we overcome this evil soon, we are lost....

4. You know what the question is..."What is the Matrix?" |
|
I'm just pecking away in the hamster wheel.
They pay me enough money to keep me happy, and I'm wary of anything that could upset the applecart.
Hopefully, I'll make enough to retire, and not have to worry about eating ALPO when I'm 75.
But, there's the rub. Who knows where we are headed? With these hand-jobs in charge, we may all wind up in a cloud of nuclear dust.
These have to be the lowest days of our Republic. We are about to be taken over by the Christian Taliban. We are about to become a religious entity, ruled by the Ten commandments.
The foundation has already been built and all they need is another "excuse" and you know what's coming next.
This guy terrifies me. This guy is going to do the unthinkable. This guy has hell in his briefcase and he's going to use it and soon.
The only question is, who is he going to use it on?
