If you ever wanted to watch society devolve to an unrepairable state, just put on the evening news and see what is really going on, even as seen through the corporate lens all major media possesses. Ed Snowden is being treated like a terrorist rather than a whistleblower, which is hardly surprising as Obama has been the absolute worst president when it comes to these kinds of people who he has jailed in record numbers. His claims of more transparency through two terms is laughable at best at this point. In all honesty, he has been barely better than Bush, but let's be clear, President Romney would have been much, much worse.
And that is why we are so screwed. There is no political party that is not corrupted by big money at this point and that means we are headed for a full blown fascist state; one that won't conceal it's intentions anymore because it won't have to. When guns are removed, when lies become truth and when military-like thugs patrol out streets we will be fully there. For now, these things are just shadows but they are rapidly becoming reality and anyone supporting the Republicans at this point are just asking for this to become true. Don't believe for a second that the right won't turn around and confiscate guns once they get into power if benefits them. Obama to his credit has done less for gun control than his predecessor, except for lip service and common sense bills that should have passed if the GOP wasn't hell bent on their own destruction.
The Supreme Court took another step toward this by giving the Republicans the chance to disenfranchise millions of minority votes when they struck down the 1965 Voting Acts Bill that was recently re-voted on by Congress in a rare unanimous vote. We will see how many of these people vote again that way when this reaches Congress for an override. What this means is that minorities in Republican controlled states will find it even harder to vote and will be effectively cut off by overly stringent rules, few polling stations and severe voter ID laws. Democracy has been taken down another notch by our out of control Supreme Court. Anyone who thinks this is a good idea is an idiot, a traitor and, most likely, Sarah Palin.
But we are not the only group circling the rim as recent studies show just how much the world HATES radical Islam, and all of Islam as a result. This has mostly been brought on by themselves who continue to treat every non-Muslim as a target, including women and children which most decent folk try not to harm. It came to my attention this week that the last great religion not to be sullied by this stain on humankind, Buddhism, has thrown in the towel and started it's own brand of radical thought. I have studied Buddhism extensively and it is the most peaceful, non-violent religion on the planet. Even they have had enough with attacks on innocent civilians in countries like Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia where this new form of worship includes death threats to all of Islam. As a result, attacks on innocent Muslims is skyrocketing in these countries.
As I have said time and time again, if you keep doing stupid shit, eventually someone is going to get really, really pissed and smack you. Islam has become that now. Everyday we hear about some atrocity committed in the name of Allah, whether it be huge numbers of killings of Christians in Nigeria, bombing worldwide, attacks by the Taliban in Afghanistan, it never ends. And trust me, that has a psychological effect on viewers worldwide and not the good kind if you hail from the Middle East.
We stand at a time not seen since the early part of the twentieth century when one lone man killed Archduke Ferdinand, albeit part of a larger group, and started two world wars that killed hundreds of millions of people through war, famine and disease. One guy started the Apocalypse. The way things are they could happen again.
All we need is one lone Muslim lunatic or group to do something so heinous, so disgusting, the world is going to rise up and squash them from the Earth. Say one idiot detonates a dirty bomb in Times Square. The US would destroy every single Muslim living in this country before the death toll was even announced. The world would react the same. This scenario leads less to a world wide and more to the complete extermination of an entire religion, most likely resulting in the deaths of at least a hundred million people. This is what radical Islam is leading to and anyone from these areas better be spending mucho time trying to stop this from happening because their lives are most definitely on the line from a panicky, lethal public. The only alternative would be mass incarceration of all affected, which is barely better than death on the street.
And then there is Climate Change that some are still saying is not occurring all the while the west burns to the ground as a beetle infestation, caused by changing climate, is destroying the forests. Add in the GOP cutting funding for firefighting by 30% in most states and you have the recipe for the fires consuming Colorado right now. Some idiot posted some sort of graph that suggested ocean temperatures are falling which is bullshit. I have seen the best info available and ocean temperatures are skyrocketing, not falling. Be very careful on which site you read information on as many of them literally just make stuff up. They say "Here's this graph that I made up and looks official but is in reality total bunk." Climate change is happening and all signs point to real problems on the very near horizon.
The end is near. Take economic, political. religious or environmental reasons and fear what is going to occur. Only we can change this and no one seems to be doing anything. Stand up and demand more. Or prepare for the end. Your choice.
