Our Leaders and Our Media
Keep Us in the Dark, Living in Fear

The mailing of pipe bombs to various persons in
positions of leadership has been in the headlines all week. The one
thing that all the recipients of those 'deadly' packages had in
common is they were all vocally anti-Trump. If those 'bombs' were as
deadly as the FBI claimed, at least one or two would have hit their
mark. Days later, and with the alleged perpetrator now in custody,
this event is beginning to look more like another FBI-engineered
false flag operation. Granted, the perpetrator's fingerprint was
found on one of the packages, but it's doubtful he acted alone. As
skepticism mounts on the part of the American public, the Deep State
operators inside the Beltway and the Lame Stream Media are finding
their credibility evaporating before their very eyes. At long last,
the operators behind the US military-industrial complex are being
exposed. There is no place left for them to run for cover. The Deep
State is reaping the consequences of all their false flag operations
and clandestine activity.
We live in an extremely violent, and I would argue
dangerous, society. Every day we hear or read about unarmed civilians
being shot and killed by law enforcement. The overwhelming majority
of these victims are Black, meaning America has still not come to
terms with issues of racial equality and the elimination of hate from
the American psyche. We live in a country that is the world leader in
gun and ammunition manufacturing, the world leader in incarcerated
individuals – the majority of whom are there for nonviolent drug
offenses – and the world's leading producer of pornography. The
American population is the world's largest consumers of opiate drugs
and other dangerous street drugs like “meth” and crack cocaine.
The ingredients for those opiate drugs come from the poppy fields of
Afghanistan, which are conveniently being guarded by American troops.
That's the real reason they're there.
We are bombarded with violence on every side –
shootings in schools, workplaces, churches, bars and night clubs, and
other random acts of violence that are without rhyme or reason.
Children are kidnapped, not to be held for ransom, but to be sold as
sex slaves or to have their organs harvested, sometimes while they
are still alive. We have violence on TV, in the movies, and
especially in many of the video games we play. And so, when violence
happens in real life, it naturally startles many people. This is
exactly what our government is counting on. A lot of the violence is
home grown, of that there can be no doubt. But nearly as much of it
is 'black-ops' type stuff orchestrated by the FBI, CIA, or other
alphabet soup agencies. But the prophet Ezekiel wrote nearly 3,000
years ago: “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: 'You have gone
far enough, O princes of Israel'! Give up your violence and
oppression and do what is just and right. Stop dispossessing my
people, declares the Sovereign Lord.'” (Ezek. 45: 9)
In Europe (particularly Great Britain) and the US,
the public is being fed a pack of lies by politicians and the
mainstream media about the situation in Syria, just as it has been
with other military adventures over the past decades. The majority of
westerners don’t have a clue about what is really happening. They
are unaware that Syria forms part of the greater game in the region.
They fail to see the links between Egypt, Syria, Pakistan, Yemen,
Somalia, Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran, which are all part of a
Washington-led wider geo-political strategy hell-bent on global
domination and controlling the world’s mineral resources. This
includes its pipeline routes, the revenues from which are crediting
the accounts of western financiers and oil, armaments and logistics
companies. Too many remain confused or ignorant thanks to duplicitous
politicians and the compliant corporate media. To make matters worse,
the lack of awareness of many is due to simple laziness on their
part. It's up to them to fix that, and to work that out between
themselves and the Lord.
The public cannot know the true scope of the
reality. They will not be allowed to know, or at least for as long as
the powers-that-be can get away with it. We are being treated like
mushrooms, kept in fear and in the dark and fed nothing but crap. Too
many allow themselves to be deceived by politicians and the media
that churn out increasingly tired-sounding cliches about a 'war on
terror' or a 'humanitarian crisis' to justify militarism's murderous
brutality. And the result is that too many people accept the lie that
rag-tag forces made up of vicious, faction-ridden fighters, illegally
armed by NATO terror governments and unelected regimes in Saudi and
Qatar, are fighting for freedom and democracy. Those forces and
nations wouldn’t recognize freedom and democracy if they were hit
in the face with it. The very idea of giving any power to the people
is anathema to them. That’s why they seek to crush that out of
existence as soon as it appears.
That applies whether it appears within the borders
of the US, Britain or Saudi Arabia, or elsewhere in places that are
of strategic importance to them. The US track record of crushing
democratic governments is well documented by the likes of Noam
Chomsky, Chris Hedges and historian William Blum. And look no further
to see the attacks on Wiki Leaks, the Occupy, or Black Lives Matter
Movements to see how democratic movements are treated at home. Look
no further to see how democratic workers’ movements that took
hundreds of years to build in Britain and elsewhere, and for the last
100 years here in the US, and in Europe are under sustained attack.
Giving the people the opportunity to vote every four or five years,
while in the meantime deceiving, misinforming and lying to them, has
no more to do with democracy or freedom than what is happening in
Syria right now.
If more ordinary folk were to turn their attention
away from glossy sports events, cheap Sunday morning political
debate, bogus reality shows, talent contests or all other forms of
comatose infotainment on our TV's for one minute, they might well
realize that the billionaire criminal elites that take their taxes
and dictate national and foreign policy are in many cases a good deal
worse than any number of the regimes they seek to demonize.
