From the Onion. A humorous look at the Bush years, through our tears.
This review will increase the pressure for more than 2 term presidencies for sure…
(Be warned: 2 or so uses of the F word in seemingly mild context, not anger.)
Dec 1, 2008 … Oh, America. Eight years went by so fast, didn’t they? I feel like I hardly got to know you and methodically undermine everything you once …
THE WHOLE TRUTH IS WHAT HURTS
Consider:
Hundreds of millions of human beings are facing abortion due to the rapidly spreading world food crisis. We have created our worldwide, exploit all resources capitalist system, that helped the worlds population grow bigger than ever in developing countries. Corporate strip mega farming and low food prices drove many of the worlds agricultural workers to teeming cities. Those left behind must struggle anyway they can.
For some time this seemed manageable. Unlike what many a modern man or woman would like to think of themselves, they benefit greatly via corporate farming around the globe, off of much of the rest of the worlds cheep labor, and now displaced and starving citizens.
Well, in China, India, and other very large population centers, a growing middle class is exploding the desire to be like us in the west, which we long insisted they should be. More of everything, but most importantly regarding food energy resources, more meat eating.
More meat means that grain is now tossed to cattle for that 3 to one weight conversion. That yummy 16 ounce steak took three times as much in corn or soy, meaning for that ever expanding mass of humanity, that much less expensive food for the tables of the poor. Along with rapidly expanding ethanol production, those who profit off of speculating on grains or many other resource commodities, will have no problem finding a great big steak tonight. But their actions, along with the above pressures, are putting food beyond the budgets of hundreds of millions. But do not worry over it, lack of a sense of responsibility, endemic to conservatism, will provide ample excuse for ignoring these issues as long as we can. The often result of this escapism will be epidemics of disease, political stress and conflict, and of course, aborted lives.
The system and policies we directly profit form are pushing millions toward starvation, disease and death, while conservatives divert attention to straight on might makes right defense, against that world so many of them enjoy exploiting. But you will not find all but the most misanthropic giving themselves a “high five” over it. Instead, this horrible news will be kept off the front pages, while a whole industry of denial and obfuscation emerges to excuse the facts from any responsibilities over here. Conservatism is the perfect escapist camp, others out there are most always the source of all problems, the economic and other power relations of the world are considered off topic unless they threaten our brands of opportunism.
The get rich by getting big industry derived off of insecure human egos, has pushed earth resources to the breaking point. We all are involved with the creation of these issues, but you can rest assured; conservatism will have none of it. It will blame the poor, the starving, or their governments. What will be the charge? That those nations do not submit to our institutions or act just like we do enough. Making it all conveniently someone else’s problem in their mind. That serpentine temptation of cognitive dissonance, allowing the separation and alienation of humankind in the minds of these “have’s”, requires the establishment of “It’s not our fault” consciousness. Then one can proudly keep the guilt off greed and gluttony’s influence on humankind, and the planet we all live on.
It is no surprise, for those responsibility in denial rationalizations we have heard, describe pollution, global warming, food crisis etc, as being the inventions of alarmist pro government regulation liberals. Deregulation of the oil industry is believed to have currently increased the price we all pay by 25-50%. We can see why they do not like governmental regulation; the worlds plundering is slowed down considerably. And if you are a conservative fan, you do not care that your increased oil and gas cost passed on to all sectors of society are coming out of your own pockets as well. Maybe you have those oil stocks?
THE GREAT DENIAL
I will not be a surprise to hear the ever righteous and full of themselves conservatives, shake their distant from their heart heads regarding the worlds critical food shortages and what that means for the future. They will not even care how many Americans go to bed hungry. Does their demonic liberal Main Stream Media endlessly harangue them about hunger and pollution? Not the many channels I receive, except responsible ones show the problems, like Link TV or even PBS, but then, many conservatives know to avoid such bleeding heart “propaganda”.
Conservatives cannot see the contradictions in their thinking since reality is in many fundamental way reversed for them. Critical thinking is considered the providence of liberal elites, who are demonized as being all above regular folks. Deceptive tricks such as reality reversals are a hallmark of the deceptive logic matrix many conservatives rely on to feel what is right and what is wrong. True fact can seem like deception to them. They are in a cult of perception.
These conservatives require the world to be divided up and estranged to keep any deep sense of responsibility of their own actions sufficiently distant from them. They can then be those successful and happy campers many of them claim to be, in their walled in achievement worlds. They can go to church, some of them, and hear all the bad morals that liberalism allegedly promotes, then go home, perhaps watch the game, cheering on their imaginary hero’s.
It is good being an American. All is indeed well with the world. Problems are someone else’s inventions, obviously. The presumed (I’m being generous over their actual motives) unconscious exploiters need institutions in place to rationalize their power applied to others. It is necessary then, to demonize government which attempted to hold those using and benefiting the most from our culture, to do their duty and take some responsibility for those left behind, and collateral damage to the environment that they have created in the wake of their big gains for themselves. Not surprising that in conservative consciousness, certain abstractions are taken in a being true to themselves, yet somehow, unworthy of including others; because they are different.
It is understandable, from both cognitive dissonance mandates, and refusal to accept the consequences of their own actions and ensuing responsibilities, that conservatives must have a divided world, with many tiered “us” and “against us” is an imperative. When the “blowback” of worldwide anger, resentment and shock emerges at much of these Americans imperial arrogance (often in our name), a seeming contempt for full knowledge appears, and a profound aloofness to consequence from the entire planet. These right wing reactions seem a mark of pride for many of them. World reaction will be received by conservatives as hostile (anti-American), and not the kind of honest feedback it actually in part represents. Conservatives are out to destroy honest but contrary emotions of others that reflect badly on their own behaviors. They are denial incarnate.
ENEMIES OUT AND ENEMIES IN
Conservatism in the US, has many cult like self ostracism’s needing to be in place towards the rest of society as well. For any wealth and privilege to exist, those without’s, to assuage conscience, must be lowered as human beings in conservative mindsets, hence all the “intellectual elite’s” and “latte drinking” or a few years back, “Cadillac driving” welfare recipients.
Conservatism is separation based, not acknowledging the vast and infinite connections all things are forever held in. In their outside-in, inside-out consciousness, they can divide up souls, divide up land, divide up Creation. They are themselves abstracted in consciousness, beyond the real world of relationship, angry and defensive about those bells that ring in their minds and hearts at times, indicating that everything is connected as One.
They do not feel the immersing connectivity to all things. They are naturally defensive and protective of the illusory turf they claim in their identity and try to assume on earth. In the nation box/nationalism, and other identity boxes such as religion/their brand, conservatism isolates human consciousness from the connection and the diversity of life being manifest. Thus critical thinking must be imputed by conservatism, other brands of logic or assumption are inserted over in context cause and effect reason. Then ideas are instituted to circle back to conservative presumptions, proving the end fact actually before evidence was called upon to rightly be judged in its entirety. This is the circular logic mind control tactic’s used throughout history to control the logically less sophisticated.
Religious proselytizers, sent out to convert the naive, have all these thought control weapons at their disposal. The same to some extent with politics. They are in the position to “logically” razzle dazzle the unprepared. Many are converted to ideological prisons by this concerted effort to overwhelm the naive. Later, often when it is too late, due to family or other immersion into the group, one is stuck into the circular logic lullaby, unable to critically think, and often made fearful of questioning or contrary thinking at all. Critical thinking becomes called the work of the devil.
Conservatism has held this same mind control effort toward liberalism, even to the extent that certain preachers have been called out by right wing interest to renounce the demonic liberal notions that the earth is under our stewardship, so pollution is something to control. We have conservative Christians, that seemingly while saying praise Jesus, are anti the liberal teaching of Christ.
Having erected walls against humanity inside their own consciousness, the false gods of wealth, status or power, a delusional so called value or moral crusade is designed to entice a sense of responsibility and action in the world to the naive. However, the action is directed away and at others, not inward to the separated hearts and minds of conservatism, where it actually needs to be for just reckoning to occur. Instead of a true responsibility towards their own actions that seemingly stand in utter ignorance of the interconnectedness and interrelatedness of all living processes on earth, wedge issues convey a false sense of moral superiority and goodness. The economic issues of exploitation in the world can actually seem to them, in their cognitive dissonant state, as fine, not my problem. Thus those problems are only the doing’s of someone wanting something for nothing, or other projected self devaluation on human life’s that seem contrary to their own boxed in world view.
So it is with self assured purified ideological piety, and the seeming sound confidence of standing up for ones way of life and tradition, that minds are seduced into their own sphere like bubbles of belief, unfettered by actual world realities and consequence. Instead, backed by the implied stupidity of hubris and misplaced introverted pride, they shake their finger at the world, along with any who suggest that reality is indeed, an intertwined and inseparable commodity itself, that is not cut into convenient pieces to be ignored.
KEEP REAL TRUTH AT BAY; INSERT NEW IDEOLOGICAL THEORY AS TRUTH
A manifold attack is underway this election season in the USA. Introverted identity paradigms of defense from a hostile world, and so called moral righteousness, will swing into action to stop that inevitable reaper, known as cause and effect, from bringing actual truth in context to the conservative followers. That lazy arrogance in trusting their ideological security blankets (such as Jingoist “patriotism”), handed to them by the superiority complex of their subjective imposed comfort zones, will give them the knowing of rightness in their critically thinking impaired minds.
Be they actually running from the fear of selfish loss, by perpetually seeking to preserve their own private wealth, status, or the false pandering promotion, that knowing Jesus somehow guarantees one from creations ongoing consequences, liberal suggestions of change and inclusion of others and such, will be seen as weakness, instead of the only inherently wise way to know something in reality now that it is.
Stupefied reaction to such a statement as I just made may well be; “Would you have agreed to just talk to Hitler!”. That out of historical context, mind numbing conclusion, logical to their not nuanced capabilities, is just the kind of talk we have heard over and over, seemingly from conservatives in both parties. They seem intentionally stunted in their ability to reason beyond the sure ad-hominem prepackaged list of talking-points they always have for the intensely naive.
It is shocking, in a world of depleting resources, massive hunger, and a worldwide environmental crisis, that conservative followers will not see how those wedge issues I have alluded to in part, are designed to seduce them into stupidity; a willful ignorance of the worlds actual relationships. Saber rattling, more us vs them matrixing to tribalize identity into seeing cooperation and compromise, or even listing to ones so called adversaries, as some obvious weakness or giving in, when it is likely the only sane way out for everyone.
DIVIDE TO KEEP CONQUERED
Conservatism’s nature is to polarize, no matter how many wonderful abstractions are thrown around for the reactionary mentality to gawk at and feel all righteous about. In America, (though both main political parties are highly compromised, in what they actually claim to stand for, by secretive associations with wealthy interest), there is no mistaking that the proudly conservative party is the most completely deluded and dangerous to the historic legacy of America’s promise of “We the People”, with its inclusive and whole self definition.
The conservatives current reckless adventures in the world, which they claim should be beyond criticall thinking, only to be seen positively, is classic cult-think. It is no surprise that the laws on the land and of common decency are cavalierly violated by those who see themselves as the sole hereditary heirs to the great American commons. Proud and bold in their delusions, nothing has proved sacred as pertaining to the public at large. Any excuse laced with the poison pill of fear, is used as rationalizations to call abominations such as torture, not torture. Or CO2 emissions, not part of the global meltdown.
Once again, the arts and sciences of blame and denial are the conservatives expertise. Unfortunately for the future of our great nation to remain a beacon of anything but dominating the planet for wealth’s greed, the public must awake to their responsibility to think for themselves before it is too late. Yet each and every election, we see the big gains negative advertising has for those willing to bring the nations dialogue into the mud.
The negative campaigning has been applied unrelentingly from conservatives for some time. This insecurity mongering is not conservatism shame, it was said best once that “They know not what they do.”. It is the responsibility of the rest of us to get on the ball. To not take the political attitude manipulations commercials promote as anything resembling the actual truth. We must evaluate temperaments, policy, party loyalty above We the People, and claims to be for America when the consequences we are now facing is full of evidence that many politicians are just in it for themselves. We need to connect the reality dot’s, commercials are not how this is done.
Our vote is always being counted by what we agree with, and if that agreement is actually in alignment with universal truth. To have any chance of discerning that, we must take little from politicians at face value. We must demand explanations as to the logic of their policy and how it actually impacts relationships beyond that subject. Conservatism believes it can “get away with” being separate from reality, and the scientific (God mandated) laws of cause and effect in relationship.
For the world to survive and have a chance to put these separation identities and small world views behind it, it needs to wake up and smell the connections. We are, wherever we are, not outside of Life, but all in this Life citizenship together. It is time to start acting like we know it.
This is a political post, but I will be talking about symbiosis.
If you are a regular gardener, you may have noticed that certain ants raise cattle. They heard aphids onto some juicy plant parts, and go on to milk them.
Now, in a demented way, even slavery can be called to be to mutual benefit, in fact, the corporate world has a propaganda based philosophy that programs us into the ego fulfilling joy of being dependent on them. One may assume that the aphids receive some benefit as well. The ants might protect them from some enemies, and, or, the aphids do not have to worry about looking for food. The ants see to it that they can eat, as long as they produce for them.
I think that overall, this ant to aphid relationship is the one we have here and in most of the world. It particularly seems to apply to the philosophy exposed by actions from the political right, since they are quite wedded to an anti common spirituality of asymmetrical human relationship.
As bad as we might know slavery was, especially the more overt kind that was subjected to some Americans during the era of slavery, those who favored it seemed to think of it as a mutual blessing. They felt, through their asymmetrical mental paradigm, that some humans were not really human, and so quite incapable of surviving without them. In return for slavery, these chattel, or cattle, were “protected” and given a life if they kept producing. Many a slave owner felt entitled to their good life, and entitled to punish their slaves as they saw fit. In some profound ways, the US is now “succeeding” because people in China are so abundant and paid so little overall. Wonderful?
It may be very politically incorrect to acknowledge this truth; but many slaves, (threatened with death, and or, a seriously problematic future attempting to be free in a culture that determined they were subjects of another race), that many slaves were complacent and resolved to their systemic imprisonment. If it is a politically “wrong” notion, I am sorry, but it nevertheless is our own current state of affairs. No. We are not hauled out and killed for being “against” the corporatist perception of the servant to master head mask for the human mind, but we will be excluded, and essentially left on our own without an established support system if we do differently.
Society has long been this one way street of affairs; the wealthy have the institutions set up to service them. Just look how wrong yet biased this perception actually is, yet you likely never think of it; companies raise their prices to offset their cost. Duh! Right? Do you have a same right to raise your wage to offset your cost? Duh! Right? I’d like to see you, as an employee, raise your wage every time you need to. You would be abandoned to your own devises, and this is the asymmetrical relationship of slavery. No. Not as blatant as that one old fashioned kind.
How many demonstrations or strikes actually had the law enforcement on their side? Only “technically” since strikes and demonstrations are at times dissolved “for your own good” by authority structures. But make no mistake about it, as they say, we live in an Ant herding tiny aphid’s world. This is why many human rights are atrophying under the class war onslaught of corporate rights over the rights of the individual. Yet many voters are fooled again, and again by wedge issues, into supporting the dominator class, while they sell off their own rights.
The so called “party of the people” read the power zeitgeist and has stared to fall into corporate line as well. The Democratic convention of 2004 had its own “free speech zone” like the conservative power party, removed from the convention site, so it could be soundly ignored. Business was determined to be more important than rights, and the nation itself as a free speech zone proclaimed by the constitution was revoked. Always for your own good. Freedom is that easily dumped for aphid like security.
As in overt slavery, the issue for the general population is the same; there is no support system for thinking outside the chattel box, except for trying to be a “master” oneself. We are often chastised that that is what freedom is all about; you do not like being someone else’s slave? Then become a master of your own affairs, self employed somehow or a boss of you own making. This still essentially continues the one way street of perception and human imagination regarding alternative futures.
Humans were and are an integral part of life on earth. This privatization of Creation, is an attempt to be as God. The perception, based on actions, is that we no longer have a right to exist that seems endemic to life itself. Instead; the perception is being instilled that it is a privilege to exist, being that we are allowed to exist if we essentially follow the Ownership of Creation ideology. You have money or else you are allowed to “fail”. Opportunist have turned this one way street into the measure of the “man”. You do it and are so judged, as if God is pleased if you succeed at a Darwinianized concept of successful separation from the whole.
We each are as original peoples once were, spiritually shocked into these alien notions that tell us we divide and conquer Creation and parcel it out to those who have the money. Tribes in the Americas, for instance, thought the European invaders insane for thinking they can posses the land as a personal attachment no longer available to others. Yes. These same tribes may not have noticed that they generally do not let other tribes just run all over them and their “territory”.
As with the Ant’s and aphids, many unconscious structures “work” for survival without necessarily being “conscious”. But we presume ourselves to be conscious. And as the Algonquin Confederation added its influence to the US Constitution via Thomas Jefferson, humankind at times becomes conscious enough to understand how common individual rights come to benefit all of a diverse society. Consciousness if the key humans can have to return to collective enlightenment.
This is the issue I am raising before you of here. How many of the wealthy are concerned that their carbon footprint, if understood under the Golden Rule or Categorical Imperative, that their lifestyle would terminate humankind, including their own families and futures? They are living on opportunism and not conscious enlightenment. They are “getting away” with their life for now, just because they can. They are, however, writing humankind’s suicide note yet feeling quite the “success” in doing so.
Yes, asymmetrical human relationship is nothing new, but in the spiritual sense, it is a profound violation of the underlying truth of the universe–that all things are connected. The divisions are intrinsically superficial, and to base all our awareness on superficiality has us miss the common forest for the trees seeming to obstruct our view. We, in our mechanically surface oriented perception, are actually taking the God (Ultimate Unity) out of our view. Making It into an abstraction. Then pretending this Oneness is mental and debatable as to Its existence. We have become slaves to the limitations of our own cosmological paradigm, a paradigm at odds with Creation Itself. We have attempted to leave the actual universe, and live in one of our own imagination. Not being a responsible part of reality means; we are constructing our own exclusion!
Many might think; what is the problem? The problem is the earth will not support this mass consumption society indefinitely. We are receiving ample warnings of environmental infrastructures nearing collapse. Yet for most of us apparently; what can one do? Well. this is when things do become black and white. Some right wing ideologues do not even support a public response to the nations collapsing infrastructures. They are so against community response to common need, seeing it as a step down that slippery slope to socialism. What they do not see is; they have poked out their own eyes and bypassed their own hearts to believe we cannot do things together with one mind and intention to solve a problem. What magical answer do they have in their ideological crystal ball that is going to fix all the deteriorating roads and bridges? God will give us flying cars?
We decide to be part of the solution by being conscious of our decisions in a relationship and a global sense, or we remain part of the problem. Like those hungry aphids facing a long term drought. It does not mater how “secure” the Ants make us feel and tell us we are, nor how the commercials say they are aware and getting on the problem. The wildfire is just a matter of time. Private interest is as private interest historically does; they will milk the rest of us, then abandon you when they see fit to save themselves. That is the slaves trustful bottom line. What will we all do when these cotton fields dry up?
In democratic societies, where votes are still relevant (we trust), stopping thought processes, diverting them, or better yet, preventing them from occurring, is the most valuable thing to power interest to continue to have an unfair advantage in systems designed to give each citizen an equal say.
This means pre-existing bias to not know the world, or not to know what is attempting to go on behind the scenes to rig the system to events favored by the powerful few, is held to a premium. Those institutions and ideals that lend themselves to non objective conclusions are then the easiest vehicles for public manipulations. These will be promoted by predatory and manipulative elites to control cultural development.
There is a reason why in general, the more educated one is, the more liberal one tends to be. The nuance and complexities of life are comprehended, along with the dangers of subjectivist based group-think. This does not mean that liberals cannot be fooled, and quite easily, it is more of an indication of the liberal tendency to grant that leaping to judgement, particularly over personal behavioral issues, is intrinsically immature. Liberals should know that the reasons for behavior are a factor to be reckoned with, and not just denied, blamed, or controlled as if their influence does not extend beyond physical manipulation.
It is immature to just react to dysfunction and think the cause is addressed, for we are not each the sole god of creation, nor able to judge each others actions as irrational, in the sense that we would not have done the same thing if in “their shoes”, even if the act is obviously wrong. If one believes in a rational universe and or Creator, one acknowledges that events occur for a reason. Yes, even if that reason is a convoluted, twisted mess of subjective rationalizations. This brings up the requirements for empathy, compassion and forgiveness even amidst great harm. Otherwise, one takes in and magnifies the dysfunction by empowering its negative hold and appeal to the dysfunctional. Much ancient wisdom understood this. Politics, however, seeks to erase deeper knowing for surface judgements.
And so liberals tend to believe in growth and reconciliation and not necessarily in the deterministic view that once you have done something, it cannot be addressed for the better. We can have the odd reversal of beliefs where, while liberals believe in rationalism, they may well be forgiving, while conservatives who may well believe in a smorgasbord of subjectivist philosophies, tend to have a might makes right view towards addressing human behavioral dysfunctions.
In the US, the conservatives are most always negative based; if it isn’t the plague of crime and “sin”, it is terrorism and endless threats. While some of these concerns may have a certain validity, they can be used as a foil to forever maintain societal structures that impinge on both individual freedom and justice–the right to live not based solely on how much money one has or favor with hierarchical power structures.
This, then, is where the conservatives gather; they tend to demean “intellectual elites” while ceaselessly promoting ad-hominem leaps of judgemental faith. They are this way even when many have religious beliefs that are highly liberal, instead they select out, or cherry pick that which reinforces a cosmological view that tends to grant themselves much leeway and favor, while condemning many who act or look or believe differently.
They are used by those interested in an inherently antidemocratic societal calibration, that does not favor equality or justice, but instead, sees the world of privilege as some kind of Divine or just outworking for the rich and powerful. Again, this is at odds with democracy and freedom at fundamental levels. Yet the emerging corporate control of the state and the commons is seen as some inevitable and irreversible force. all of life’s necessities become relegated to have or have not–money and or connection to its privilege.
We are witnessing now as I type, the power interest adjusting public perceptions and understandings, all mostly quite under the radar. News of Iraq and Afghanistan have dropped precipitously off the media radar screens, even though Afghanistan is having major conflict arise and more troops died their in May than in Iraq.
This is not a coincidence given that it is both an election year, and the more conservative party is controlled by predators of the commons who have everything but equal rights and access in their minds and hearts. This is how ignorance gains its value; by not having all the facts, (as many as can be had), the public is much more likely to jump to the desired conclusions of the power groups controlling society and the information medias. All these groups tend to be intertwined and know what philosophy, or lack of objective awareness, keeps them on top of you.
This will be the campaign of control, to attempt to keep the public divided, to keep rumor and innuendo afloat, and to release theory as fact, and selected facts, as the proof to the presumed insecurity zeitgeist intended to swing enough of the unknowing to side with authority in times of stress. Which often approx. 70% of population do, and do at their own and others peril. The power of what is kept from view is phenomenal.

Joy to the World–The Political Zone is open for diatribes. Did I hear an echo?
You basically have a matrix of the common human theme; The haves and the have not’s. If one wonders why our two party system seems like two sides of the same coin, exactly. The coin rules.
These days the objective is to blur actual boundaries, while in reality strengthening class distinctions. Money does its subtle but sure maneuvering of consciousness. With materialism and technology as the cultural paradigm, why one needs money not only to survive but to keep up relevance in an evolving technology, which mandates its own obsolescence.
This race to keep up is an antagonist to freedom and equality, though those concepts can be interpreted, like many things, to ones own philosophical inclinations. Some might see health car as a fundamental human right that should not depend on income–a part of freedom and equality. While someone else sees a compromise in character development in helping another in fundamental ways. To them, one is free to earn their health care in an equal way as everyone else.
We can cruse down left and right channels and see the same concepts held up as sacred but for entirely differing points of view. I submit that most politic exist because ignorance and stupidity (the unwillingness to emotionally and or spiritually advance) exist, and any of us can be proud and righteous to proclaim our subjective weight keeping our view down on whole systems and relationships. This self truncating of ones own point of view is the fuel for much political consternation. Opportunist use these differences of comprehension to prop up their stature as relative/reactive true believers, while the honest to goodness truth is not particularly pursued at all.
This whole division of red and blue is a manifestation of the ongoing attempt of the haves to seduce enough of those left wanting, to believe it is essentially the have not’s that are the source of problems here and in the world, and not the powerful few. So, notions of blame and failure are cast upon unwanted poorness. This is primitive behavior, but it is alive and very well in the opportunist driven world. Opportunist and dominator’s need the shield of numbers in many countries as the bottom line of defense. Of course, the powerful tend to own the establishments of the military and police in many communities, their loyalty to organized power structures and not to the general populations, except by convoluted rationalization.
Once again, that bottom line of the coin as the symbol of survival, and not love. The battle over human consciousness boils down to us and them. An attempt to drive lives by fear, and not the connection of caring for all things great and small. As it will be in the coming election in the US, the population will undergo a concerted effort to produce fear one way or another and cause the lizard brain to decide for us. In order to keep subjugated, liberty and justice for all.

Somebody, please, give Rachel Maddow her own news and commentary show (beside radio). Get with the program MSM.
That is all. Just that would move America forward.
