In My Opinion….

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I don’t know what it will take. I have no idea how many times and in how many ways the American public has to be conned, scammed, manipulated, and repeatedly played as fools before they catch on to the plan.

Still clinging to that “liberal spin” BS? Still believe that in the halls of congress, the government at all levels, that some right or left wing club is challenging and fighting the other wing? Did it ever occur to any of you true believers that if any of what you are hanging onto as the literal truth is, actually not the truth?  Then why is there no corresponding reaction of any kind? Other than a few camera shots, a few canned words of condemnation and then, dinner and drinks all around.

If there is a battle in government it has nothing to do with some fictional political party or belief. It is always centered around money; who has it, who wants it and who will profit from the current fray. And at the end of the day, who will manage to increase their power enough to exempt themselves from what ever nefarious plan they have set into motion.

Make America Great Again?? How about we MAKE AMERICA FREE AGAIN?  How about that? How about we get rid of the Patriot Acts, TSA, and several of the other federal assaults on liberty that have driven us to the point of distraction. You cannot find one person who believes the conspiracy theory put out by the government to explain 9/11. Why are we tolerating the assault on America that was the planned end run to that horrible day? 3,000 people died so that the rest of us could cower in fear and roll over?

The public, continually assaulted with jingoism has latched onto the notion of “liberal spin”. Remember the “no spin zone”? In my humble opinion Bill O’Reily spun more crap than any other combination of paid actors acting as anchor on a news station. But he was venomous. He had a particular knack for zeroing in on the worst in us and spinning that into some nightmare scenario that only he could save us from. If only we would listen to him. Please….

If you are more inclined to believe there is a liberal spin, there is always Rachel Maddow and others like her. Their job is to convince you that all would be well in the world if only we could gt rid of those on the fictional right. She mocks, cons, and laughs her way through all kinds of non-issues created specifically for public consumption.

Don’t like what the government is doing to us at any given time? Well, blame that on the liberals. No wait….blame it on conservatives. No…No wait a minute….blame it on some leader in a foreign country that has nothing to do with us and then try to tie your fictional political opponent to them. Next, prime the public! Sell it to those who think they are on the left as one thing, and to those who think they are on the right as something else. After all, the American public is so dumbed down, so brainwashed and embedded in the right vs left war, they will buy anything you tell them. Meanwhile, whatever is actually planned that will adversely affect you and yours will move ahead at lightening speed while you remain diverted with  something that usually is a fabrication created just for that purpose.

In the end it is us (the public) vs them (the government) and us losing in a major way. Still want to fight over who is liberal and who is conservative? Carry on fool!
