I think we are. When? I don’t know but I do believe that the elements for change are in place. I wouldn’t say doomed for now. We will be if we don’t change. The change will be inconvenient because it will involve a dismantling of the current structure, which is an abject failure anyway. The U.S. is like driving a crappy car but the stereo kicks ass. Time for a new car.
Well said and thank you very much. I have been made aware of this within the past 12 months and see the evil within the States.
I did this on the Ukraine/Russia situation. I don't know if it will be of any use but here is my link. As I regard the whole thing as political theatre I have treated it with some humour but my intent and summary are serious.
I just posted this one at JP Sears "locals" sight on Veterans Day.
"I know, I know...Today is "Veterans" day and I'm supposed to thank all those "who have served" and have "fought for my/our freedom" and thank them for their patriotism. Except, me? I'm one of those sort of one in a billion people who would rather take in all of the data and then process it and see what emerges. So with that, using my reason, logic and common sense I come to this critically thought out result. First off, no one in my lifetime has fought for my or anyone else in this countries freedom. EVER. And I'm 68. I was born in 1954.
If I had been born in the era of the "Civil" war and had lived in the south, I would have to admire those who had made the effort to fight for my freedom. ANYONE who does a bit of study will realize that conflict wasn't over white boys keeping black boys as slaves in the south. It was over who could do the taxing. And when the south succeeded from the union one of the first things they did was open the port in Freeport Louisiana to European traders and a major cut in tariffs. The north was PISSED and that is part one of the conflict. Read The South Was Right by the Kennedy Brothers.
Next we had the Korean War which I was too young to remember any of but history tells us what? WHY were "we" in Korea? Why were "we" in Viet Nam? Were we fighting for "our" freedom in either place? How about Iraq? How about Afghanistan where Chairman Xiden left all kinds of toys for those terrorists that we were supposedly after to play with? Tell me how my freedom is being fought for with a stolen election in 2020 and more stolen elections going on right this very minute and who is "fighting" against that? Anyone who "believes" Chairman Xiden won, has to be living a life of delusion. And looking at the current charts with the same kind of spikes we saw in 2020 going on all over the country leaves me in bewilderment.
So, please, someone tell me why I should venerate men and women who join a military branch VOLUNTARILY and then go to far away distant lands and meet strange unusual people and then KILL THEM when they have NEVER done anything to any of us? Do you know what "just war" is? It would be a war fought like in the fictional account of "Red Dawn" with Patrick Swayze. One where SOMEONE had attacked us and we DEFENDED and FOUGHT for OUR FREEDOM. PERIOD. There is no one doing that. Our freedom has been gradually and incrementally been taken away using stealth and deceit.
Do you have the FREEDOM to own your own home? If you pay it off free and clear? Well don't pay the "rent" on it and you'll find out who owns it as men with guns will come and take your home away and put someone in it who will pay that rent. Oh that's right we call that rent "property taxes" but the Communist manifesto 1st plank calls it RENT. Yeah, ABOLITION TO ALL RIGHTS TO PRIVATE PROPERTY and the application of all rent to public purpose. When you get your property tax statement, what is ALL of that rent being used for? PUBLIC PURPOSE. Did you see or hear of any veterans fighting and dying so we could be FREE from the 1st plank of the Communist Manifesto which pays for the 10th plank? Which BTW says "FREE" education for all children in government schools. Were you REQUIRED by "law" to go to a PUBLIC school IE government school as a young person? Unless you were home schooled which is very rare. So you were FORCED to give up your freedom to go to a place that indoctrinated you into the way you think today which is most likely NOT the way I think.
Did you hear of anyone fighting to keep you free from that part of life? I don't. I do know that John Singer was killed by the enforcers for refusing to send his kid to school when homeschooling wasn't allowed. Did anyone fight for him? Fact is, we are SLAVES that own guns. And many of YOU would fight to the death to keep yourselves slaves. I am going to interject some truth here that was translated from a real live prophet who lived among us for a number of years....tell me? Was he WRONG? Or are we deluding ourselves by praising and worshiping the military industrial complex that has caused so much death and suffering around the world in OUR NAME.
READ ON: But there’s a reason. There’s a reason. There’s a reason for this, there’s a reason education SUCKS, and it’s the same reason it will never, ever, EVER be fixed.
It’s never going to get any better, don’t look for it, be happy with what you’ve got.
Because the owners, the owners of this country don't want that. I'm talking about the real owners now, the BIG owners! The Wealthy… the REAL owners! The big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions.
Forget the politicians. They are irrelevant. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice! You have OWNERS! They OWN YOU. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought, and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. They got you by the balls.
They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying, lobbying, to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else, but I'll tell you what they don’t want: They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking.
They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. that's against their interests.
That's right. They don’t want people who are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table and think about how badly they’re getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fucking years ago. They don’t want that!
You know what they want? They want obedient workers. Obedient workers, people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork. And just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shitty jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it, and now they’re coming for your Social Security money. They want your retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street, and you know something? They’ll get it. They’ll get it all from you sooner or later cause they own this fucking place! It's a big club, and you ain’t in it! You, and I, are not in the big club.
By the way, it's the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long beating you over the head with their media telling you what to believe, what to think and what to buy. The table has tilted folks. The game is rigged and nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care! Good honest hard-working people; white collar, blue collar it doesn’t matter what color shirt you have on. Good honest hard-working people continue, these are people of modest means, continue to elect these rich cock suckers who don’t give a fuck about you….they don’t give a fuck about you… they don’t give a FUCK about you.
They don’t care about you at all… at all… AT ALL. And nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care. that's what the owners count on. The fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue dick that's being jammed up their assholes everyday, because the owners of this country know the truth.
It's called the American Dream,because you have to be asleep to believe it. ~ George Carlin
So I'm sorry, I don't thank the veterans for my freedom because NONE of them have ever fought for it. They have as I said earlier, gone to far away distant lands, met strange unusual people and KILLED THEM FOR NO GOD DAMNED GOOD REASON.
And for doing so we have raised up men all over the world that want REVENGE! That's right...they want REVENGE because someone they know or loved was murdered by our so called "freedom" fighting veterans. Some little girl was blow to shit by a drone, some mother was shot in the head as she tried to defend her family with an AK. Don't like what I'm saying?
Don't like that I've got a HUGE needle here being used to pop your delusional bubble? Don't like the fact that maybe YOU as a veteran are guilty as charged by my accusations? That you should have told the officer that wanted you to commit some atrocity like Lt. William Calley charged for My Lai massacre in Vietnam to go fuck himself? Because it wasn't Calley who did all the killing. It was those who FOLLOWED his orders as well as Calley. And I guess they were fighting for my freedom, right?
Fuckin' A, you da man!
It's amazing to see so many NAILS in one board, brother man!
Okay, you're soooooo hired if I ever have a job for you. That translates to: AWESOME POST.
I will howl at the moon for you tonight.
You're very kind 😉
And YOU are very astute and a kick-ass word herder!! I shared this.
Taking the scales off my eyes has been a painful blessing....now I'm frustrated all the time. Are we doomed?
I think we are. When? I don’t know but I do believe that the elements for change are in place. I wouldn’t say doomed for now. We will be if we don’t change. The change will be inconvenient because it will involve a dismantling of the current structure, which is an abject failure anyway. The U.S. is like driving a crappy car but the stereo kicks ass. Time for a new car.
An electric car?
I sure hope not!
Reads like you never attended fascist university.

Sorry, I don't buy it. We need to get our heads out of our collective asses and realize that what Gary Barnett wrote about in this article is TRUE and we are guilty by association. It is those innocents world wide that OUR hands our covered in the blood of...and then have a great veterans day.
