11. Interesting premise
Sun Feb 8, 2015, 07:45 AM
Feb 2015

Ties in with the concept that the people we have running everything only give us stuff to worry and fear about. ISIS, as one example, came to be as a result of America's war crime invasion of Iraq in 2003. This proved the use of the Nazi "Big Lie" to fool all of the world all of the time works exceptionally well in the present day. (And there's mounting evidence Saudi Arabia bankrolled the 9-11 terrorists. Oops, we invaded the wrong country! A mistake criminally incompetent to the point of bona fide treason and war crimes)

We are indeed being bombarded with propaganda and we are being told to think and perceive what the oligarchs want us to think. There does seem to be a never ending stream of the distracting and worrisome crisis of the week. Ebola came and went. Whats up with the investigation of Petreaus? How many more abortion clinics have they shut down in Texas and other religious fundamentalist states? They're coming after our Social Security, like they have since it's inception in the 1930's? Why do they want to take away something so nice for all of us that we fucking pay for via payroll tax in the first place? How come the economy is "getting better" if so many of Obama's economic policies have been blocked by obstructionist sabotage Obama even if you have to wreck America to do it? When will the next Wall Street Bubble burst and are there going to be riots in the streets if the taxpayers have to bail out the Oligarchs within mere months after they nullied that critical part of Dodd-Frank? Isn't this just too blatant and brazen for criminals to make the formally illegal perfectly legal so you can steal billions from the American Taxpayer again? The MIC is brazen also. Now there's rumbles of a new world war triggered by ignorance belligerence fear and stupidity or maybe even more of this stuff from the video? And hasn't our drone program burning alive a lot more people than the poor pilot's murder by burning (full tape including spoken propaganda viewable on fox, I've heard?)

The end result is that by some Amazing Coincidence our Oligarchs are getting even more obscenely and unseemly wealthy by such things as for profit war and Fascist TPP of by and for the multi-national corporations getting shoved down our throats by a complete end run around what's left of our Democratic republic.
