The Allowing Continues. . .

I Was Always An Optimist - But No Longer - Reality Won't Allow It
by The Old Hippie Because The Tyranny My Father Fought. . .  Now Rules My Nation

My Country 'Tis No Longer Of Thee

There is no longer an opposition party.  The Democratic Party has proven in the last six years to be fractured, and marginalized, to the point that is has no power to confront the tyranny, and in several areas has actually joined with the power behind the power of those that control the profits of the tyranny's successes.

The large majority of Americans, the lower 97% or so of the masses, are still allowing all that has happened to this nation to go unpunished, and are to this day still allowing the destroyers of this nation's Constitutional Democracy to tear it apart, law by law, protection by protection, still allowing "them" to gain even more control over laws, agencies, and divisions of the governmental structures to secure their protection from us, and to protect and secure their ability to drain every single possible red-cent from this nation's citizens directly into their own pockets. . .

The exposed manipulations and lies are beyond the pale - But the American citizens are still - STILL - allowing it all to transpire without any real fight, without any real protests, without any revolt at all. . .

We few, the reality-based, that actually do not live in denial of the proven and obvious facts.  We few that actually read, listen, and watch all sides, reports, articles, and research-the-research.  We few that actually make the real effort to compare what we see in the 6-corporation controlled American mainstream media (MSM) with what we find in "the other" media sources, like Democracy Now!, The Daily Show, NOW, PBS, Truthout, BuzzFlash, CommonDreams, Cursor, AlterNet, et al American non-MSM.  We few who also research and compare both the MSM and the non-MSM with as much of the foreign media as we can get our hands, eyes, and ears on.  We few who have made this real effort to not only "know the reality," but to also try to spread the gained knowledge any way we can, can not deny the fear we share. . .

A fear that much of the reality can no longer be reversed.  Can no longer be stopped, because, just as with other nations in the past, like Germany in the 1930's, the impossible has happened, right under our collective noses - But - This time there is the reality of global-scale environmental damage to the planet's entire biosphere, including the atmosphere's quality, the entire planet's weather patterns, and the oceans.  This time global-scale corporations answerable to no nation, or even groups of nations, corporations accountable to no one, corporations that now have unimaginable power and control over whole countries, have caused so much environmental, governmental, and societal damage - A fear that much of it can no longer "be repaired."
