Okay, I'm finally pissed enough to do this. I've been meaning to for a while but good FUCK people, open your goddamn eyes! For the record this is a blog in reference to the NDAA bill that got passed nearly UNANIMOUSLY by the senate, and yet people are blaming the PRESIDENT for signing it.
Way to go, America. Once again you are making me ashamed of the fact that I was born on this particular patch of dirt, not because I hate you but because you are disgusting me. You allowed yourselves to ignore the problem that was rising in our country for far too long because you just let the media, propaganda, and psychological manipulations get to you, to make you think you could do nothing. And now your back is up against a wall, and you need to face the fire.
Yeah, shit just got real. You didn't see the warning flags coming from miles away? Who is to blame for that? Hmm. You are, as well. (Note, I am not saying I am blameless either. I too was misled, scared, and thought that one person could do nothing to make a difference. But enough is enough.)
*Sighs* Look, sweety.. I'm not angry with you, not really. I am frustrated, aggravated, and annoyed that even now, you are being misdirected from the true problem, and are still listening to the idiotic mob mentality the media likes to play on.
You are not entirely to blame, however, and that is the point I am making here. Everything has woven together to make a beautiful, deadly tapestry of deceit. America has long been known for our love of shiny toys, of the newest big thing. I'm a rare case, and I'm not saying it was a good thing. I grew up poor, yeah. But I also grew up intelligent, and for some reason, at the age of 12 I figured out the psychology behind everything. I despise TV not because of the content of TV shows but what advertising does to the human mind, of how much and how easily the manipulations of phrasing, colors, etc in a 30 second clip of video can manipulate the way people think.
I grew up without a lot of the shiny toys, because I was poor. And at the same time, I was fine with that. I have always been someone that's perfectly content in my own head. But I'm a rare bird in that way.
I hate that advertising and the media and our consumer culture turns children against each other. It turns the gift of toys into a race, to see who has the best, who doesn't, and it just amplifies the greed and hoarding instincts that exist within all of us. And somehow, they made it powerful enough to distract us so much that we forgot that the people running our Government are the people who make the money on the advertising or the homes or this or that... We forgot that we are the people, and they are supposed to do things for us, not themselves.
My point here is, that OBAMA is not the one who started the NDAA bill. He is not the Senate, who voted for it almost unanimously. He is not the Congress, who voted 283-136 with 14 members not voting. OBAMA can only veto the bill, which sends it RIGHT back to the people who already passed it.
I'm not saying I support him signing it AT ALL, by a long shot. But the President is far from "GOD" or "KING" or have you forgotten that? A president can only veto it. Then it would have gone back, they'd revote, and it would become law anyway. Don't blame the last person who touched it for the taint that exists within it.
Open your eyes. Open your mind. THINK. There is MUCH more going on behind the scenes than you think when you're only barely paying attention. Think deeper. I know it's scary to think of the bigger problem, because it's so vast it's like someone standing in the middle of a street and seeing a 150' tidal wave bearing down on them. But sometimes you really do have to look.
