We Deserve What's Coming. . .
Because, Even In The Face Of Undeniable Reality, We "Allowed" It
by The Old Hippie Because, Not Only Did We "Allow" It, We Are Still "Allowing" It.
As the old saying goes, "No matter how you shake it," the fact remains that this administration has gotten away with the largest, fastest, and most successful theft and transfer of wealth from the many to the few, in the written history of this planet. (Which, we as a nation, continue to "allow," even when the reality and truth of it is undeniably known to us all.)
Within its first year, 2001, they quite openly emptied the entire record surplus out of the Treasury, directly into the pockets of the few and their sycophants, through, mostly illegal, no-bid contracts. (Which, we as a nation, continue to "allow," even when the reality and truth of it is undeniably known to us all.)
Within the first two years, 2001 and 2002, they successfully restructured all of the federal regulatory agencies so that, instead of regulating the abuse by the abusers, they now regulate the abused, and function to only protect the profits of the abusers, simply by replacing all of the top down management personnel with ex-executive officers, ex-lobbyists, and ex-lawyers of/from the very corporations the agencies were created to regulate. (Which, we as a nation, continue to "allow," even when the reality and truth of it is undeniably known to us all.)
Even when we all became fully aware of dangerously deadly level of sneering cronyism, corruption, and lies within and by this administration, through 2003 and 2004 - This nation stunned the world by "re-allowing" the re-selection of this openly criminal administration to remain in power. (Which, we as a nation, continue to "allow," even when the reality and truth of it is undeniably known to us all.)
Never in our nation's history have we been so clearly and purposefully divided-to-be-conquered-and-controlled. Not even during our Civil War. This manufactured division is still being "allowed" to continue to grow larger, and stronger. The wealth-gap, the health-gap, the education opportunity-gap, the knowledge-gap, the 3-way media-gap, i.e. the rational and/or sane reality-based independent media, the corporatist's controlled "mainstream" propaganda/infotainment media, and the totally whacked-out "Christian" media networks. (Which, we as a nation, continue to "allow," even when the reality and truth of it is undeniably known to us all.)
Never in our nation's history has America been "allowed" to be so un-American, as it has now been "allowed" to become, and it continues to be "allowed" to move toward being even less "American." (Which, we as a nation, continue to "allow," even when the reality and truth of it is undeniably known to us all.)
Because, we the people, the citizens of this nation not only "allowed" it all, and continue to "allow" this administration to cause the destructions and deaths of the many, for the profits-over-even-life to the few, out of irrational and manufactured fear. . . We undoubtedly deserve what is coming. But not the millions of hurt, wounded, destroyed, and already killed innocents, nor those that fought hard against this tyranny of Exceptionalism and corporate military oppressive empire. (Which, we as a nation, continue to "allow," even when the reality and truth of it is undeniably known to us all.)
There is no longer doubt in my mind, that without open, in the streets, real protests, and/or open sustained and massive real revolt against these opportunistic criminals - America will be, (and right now is too close to being,) some ugly form of an oppressive un-America. Oligarchical pro-corporatist/theocratic fascist/totalitarian criminal and opportunistically tyrannical Empire of, by and for the very few, and their sycophants, minions, and "workers." (Which, we as a nation, continue to "allow," even when the reality and truth of it is undeniably known to us all.)

The repetitive simplistic complexity of the redundantly complex simplicity of America, even now, at its worst, still amazes me with all of its repeating simple complexities of its own hallucinatory denials.

I agree, and I believe that the reason Americans have become so apathetic is because of TV.
Studies have shown that TV makes people apathetic and sluggish.
Another reason Americans don't care (at least enought
to do anything) is because they are just too busy watching
the tube.
Right now Americans are spending (on average) over 4 hours per day in front of the TV.
Before TV, this time was spent building Social Capital
(that is socializing with actual people, joining clubs,
being active in their churches, teaching their kids, etc).

The only way Democracy can exist is with enough Social Capital. Otherwise the slide towards totalitarianism is inevitable.
Free your mind! Escape the Matrix! Turn Off the Tube!
