(634 posts)because I am at a loss to explain the War on Women's Rights. I don't understand the motivation behind it. Who really supports these ridiculous attacks on Women"s Freedom? I have never believed the argument about the return to" traditional " values. If they were truly pro-family, they would support higher wages so that parents could spend more time with their kids and less time at work.
NSA spying, on the other hand, makes perfect sense to me. The goals of domestic spying have less to do with terrorism and more to do with the interests of the Elites. I'm sure such data is used to further Corporate interests,and as such, is nothing less than government -subsidized industrial espionage.
The True purpose of domestic spying, however, seems clear; to prevent mass dissent. It is part of an all-out attack on organized protest. Spying lets the government identify organizers and can provide pretext for pre-protest arrests.
Attacking Unions gives the benefits of a lower standard of living ( which is quite useful in maintaining control of the masses ) and the removal of the organizational skills of such groups.
Patriot act and ndaa are part of the attack; changing constitutionally protected Rights into Privileges that can be granted or withheld at the the whim of those in control.
The militarization of the police force is another anti-protest move. Anyone that says this is about terrorism is full of it.
Corporate media is part of the attack; peaceful protests can only be effective with a free Press.
Right here. Right now. We are a fledgling totalitarian State.
There are professional spin doctors out there that will say that my " hair is on fire", but don't worry; that smoke is just something they are trying to blow up your ass....
