I know that we have all seen it, heard it, watched it, whatever. Today I witnessed another plank in the destruction of America. Sadly, it was the morning news.
The Planks of Destruction as I see them.
The Department of Education: as fomented by Dewey and the other socialists in the beginning of the last century.
The Public Media: as in pretty much 90% of the current media trends in the U.S.
The ever Expanding Entitlement Programs of the Progressive Era: IE SSI, Welfare,
A Federally(? Not! The Fed is as much a part of the Federal GOV as Fed Ex is) managed Finance system that is symbiotic with the World Banking organizations.
AND of course
A never ending stream of Career Politicians that work for their own future far and above the actual job description of 'Public Servant'.
Let me expand on the opening sentence first. Watching the news.
About 1:30 was spent on the increasing firestorm of the ME and North Africa. (the protests)
About 2:00 was spent on the Earthquake in New Zealand.
Then they spent a grand total of 15 friggin minutes on the “royal wedding” and the another 6:20 on just the damned wedding dress and its designer.

F!!!!!!!!!!?????????????
oh yeah, extremely little mention of ANYTHING about the protests here in the U.S.
Hell, if even one mainstream media outlet would spend 50% of that “indepth reporting” on actual issues in this country, we might actually see people wake up and ask “WTF? “.
Oh, my bad, that is EXACTLY why they don't report the truth, just the trappings of interests.
They don't want the people to be awake. Awake and aware slaves revolt, the sleepers are the ones that keep filling the trough. Of course TPTB are very happy to leave things 'just the way they are' so they can continue the rape and pillage of this country. Having a group that you can pin "whatever" on is helpful too. (damned *******!(insert whatever group will fit) )
Its that level of intensity of NOTHINGNESS in the news that exasperates the hell out of me some days. I am not a lazy person by any means, but having to spend as much time as I do digging out the truth, or what nuggets I can find, is tiring. I have a life to live outside of that. The reason we have/had news organizations, was to collate the information so we didn't have to dig for it. People payed good money for that service. (and the papers wonder why they are going down LOL )
Well they say times are a changing and, oh yeah, they are. FAST too.
I made a comment on this blog of “better figure it out yesterday” about knowing what and when you are willing to sacrifice. We are all going to have to make sacrifices here soon. Some easy (as in NO choice) and some not so easy. Lets get into an easy one. Energy. That can be electric, fuel (you name it) or even just storage of energy. Everything is going to see exponential increases in cost here shortly. We are seeing the beginning escalation now. $3.00/gallon gas is nothing: Yet! Trying to find a deep cycle battery for under $100: good luck (at least not a good one.) Yes, we will have to resort to using handsaws and auger bits work wood. Yes we will have to resort to axes and splitting mauls for splitting fire wood. (quick note: the sound of an ax splitting wood is almost as noisy as using a gas splitter. A tree falling in the woods is just as noisy if you cut it by chainsaw or jacksaw. Don't count on the old tools for tactical advantage on that note.) Hell, we may even end up using Mules and Horses for power yet again. (as Spud put it, IF we don't end up using them for food first.)
Ok, Ok, There was a point to all of this. It actually started with news but accumulated with my Dentist visit. The clueless walk amongst us. I am looking for a new dentist now due to that fact. She wanted to do LOTS of cosmetic work but not actually fix the issue. When I mentioned that I don't want a lot of overhead or debt involved she looked at me funny, almost dazed. I said “ I don't expect things to stay stable much longer and I would rather not deal with a lot of stuff that requires HIGH maintenance to upkeep. I don't think I would be able to find a dentist that can do a ceramic crown in 2 or 3 years if something goes wrong.”
her “Oh, thats not a problem, this is common stuff that EVERYBODY has access to. “ (yeah, IF the current system holds together.)
She completely missed what I was saying. I would imagine that this woman is so far into debt trying to keep her business alive that she is blinded to the fact that she is spending more for less. Of course, its a progressive disease: Until shit falls apart this woman will continue feeding the monkeys, wondering why things aren't all that she dreamed.
As will a lot of others that refuse to actually understand what the accountants are printing up every quarter. (other than to raise their prices)
Yup, better figure it all out yesterday, spend the remaining time trying to get what you can together. Time has a way of creeping up on you then blowing your doors off when you least expect it. (something my daughter is finding out )

HA, I knew you were talking about the dentist in that title... My father in law (a dentist himself) is the same way. He knows things are wrong, but still thinks unicorns and rainbows are just around the corner. In spite of the fact that he's got two pieces of real estate he can't sell, and he is now "un-retired". Yep, lookin' pretty dandy there, ain't it? So much for "higher education"...
It's the same in Germany, when you listen to AFN (Armed Forces Network). A minute of "serious" news and then much more about, say, the USAF Security Police in Sigonella, Italy, gathering toys for needy children.
Wife #1 used to say that Americans aren't naturally stupid...that they're made stupid by their government.
Americans are so polite and basically decent that I've always hesitated to ask if they realise how much of their news is slanted.
I see no solution. Except in forums like this, act like everyone else, prepare and then just sit back and enjoy the show.
LOL yeah, I figure better get it all out of the way now.
Welcome Klaus, I understand fully what you mean about Being made stupid by the Gov. I run into more than a few of them everyday. There is a solution but most people are too lazy to pick up a book or actually dig for the truth in matters.
But, like you said, Sit back and enjoy the show. I wish I enjoyed horror movies more, what is coming is going to be the mother of all horror movies.
Only this show, you ain't gonna be able to shut off or walk out on and don't even just close your eyes...
Spud: No doubt about it. Especially that closing your eyes part. (gonna have to get some sleep by ya'd best have a good trustworthy firewatch in place.)
