Paranoid?Sorry if I go off on a tangent here, ....and perhaps manage to grapple with a little bit of frustrating paranoia on the way. I'm sure that beginning an essay with an apology is not de rigueur in the politically correct maelstrom that has become our public arena, ....however, I will make no apology about that. A little paranoia is a good thing nowadays, I think. With today's "been there, done that" kind of blasè (and while I'm at it,
I'll make no
apologies for the
inaccurate and/or heavy-handed use of accents, runes,
squiggles,
and/or other fun keys, or errors in spelling and grammar, either!)
....with
today's blasè level
of universal consciousness, anybody that asks any
questions, ....or heaven forbid, ....doesn't agree with
the official line, as ordered by our
benevolent government, ....is
threatened with fines, judgements, jail, and death,
for non-compliance–––you're damn straight,
paranoia's a good thing!!
What do you mean, "Not in this
country?" Boy, have you ever got the blinders
on....you
been watching that damn tv again?
Gees, I hate to break the bad news to ya, ....but
tv,
and all the big papers and magazines are owned by the
big boys–––who want you to be blind!
So you say it couldn't happen here? Well, lemme
tell ya a little story about this fella, George Hansen,
a seven time U.S. Representative from Idaho.
Brace yourself, 'cause this is ....
ONE MUTHA OF A STORY. [ ed. note: read this
link and
then you ask, "....if they can fry a decent and
popular dude like George Hansen, whaddaya think they
kin do
to uppity unknowns like me?....or you? ........Man,
....oh
Manischewitz!!!]
In retaliation, Hansen was ironically charged by
the political machine with a wave of trumped up and
fabricated charges stemming from the labyrinthine,
convoluted, and largely cosmetic public disclosure
requirements being passed into law at the time. In the
wake of
Lyndon Johnson's oligarchically bent administration and
it's
Great Society, any and all, and more
and more legislation, was the new darling of the
controlled media, ....incrementally regulating,
licensing,
and parcelling away natural rights which were granted
to humans by
God,
....and supposedly guaranteed by the Constitution.
This bureaucratic blitzkrieg was likely the
heralding
of the pernicious and subtly pervasive new age of
mediocrity, decreed by the power brokers and spun by
their willing and ingratiating minions at Media,
Incorporated.
....Oh, yeah, ....George Hanson. ....Well, ....the
feds
finally
managed to make one of the charges stick long enough to
get old George's foot in the door of the vast and
ever
growing national gulag–––and then suck him in and
literally lock the door and
throw away the key. For four solid
years of torture and incarceration was Hansen
medievally handled
....and this in spite of George's
exoneration
in the court system of any and all charges.
....Yeah, right, ....it couldn't happen in this
country! Tell that to George Hansen, ....and to all the
innocent folks all over the country that are now being
regularly blasted, ....shot in the back, defenseless
in the
their beds
in
the middle of the night, ....by macho, tank driving
government bureau-goons and drooling, gung-ho local
SWAT
regiments run amok.
...Tell those folks
that third
world injustice and dictatorial travesties are
strangers to the golden shores of "The Great
Republic," ...."The Light of the World."
[ed.note: read about this anywhere, ....it's practically happening
every week ....yeah, this is what they could do to an
uppity like me or you..]
The truth is, that in this once great country,
....right now, ....the government can and
will do anything it wants to with
impunity and total disregard for the rule of law, to
crush real debate and meaningful opposition. Just
look at that corn pone in the White House ....and his
wife/accomplice. The trail of dead bodies lying in the
wake of this twosome is approaching 80 in
number–––and those are only the documented
cases! Why just today, I came across the case
of one of Clinton's personal victims who survived,
albeit without his testicles. You can read the shocking story yourself at the
newyorkpost online, ....if you can bear to know
yet
more
details of this
pariah's unparalleled dark and evil deeds.
....Of course, these examples comprise only a
portion of the mayhem he has spawned, ....not even
considering the death and destruction this corrupt and
tragic figure of a president and his sycophants have
generated on a world wide scale–––in their
official capacities.....okay, now I'm getting depressed
again, ....and paranoid.
You know, I firmly believe that Bill Clinton is
actually every bit as evil and slimy as James Carville
looks.
....Now, ....given that governments are comprised of
ordinary people (possessing all the faults and
predilections to err or stray as anyone), ....think
about how irrational it is to entrust your own personal
health, happiness, and well-being to let's say,
....someone as disinterested in you, as, ....your
buddy Joey's cousin's roommate's boyfriend, ....from
Fairfax, Virginia.
I don't know about you, but I think that
I'm going to do a helluva lot better job
of making sure I'm healthy, happy, and well off than
some schmuck I don't even know from the D. C. suburbs!
If perchance you are still in denial about the
criminal nature of modern American government, ....wow!
In the light of recent and ever escalating revelations
about official misconduct at every level, ....thanks
largely to that "new" free press, the as-of-yet
uncensored internet,
it is amazing to still hear folks gending and
apologizing for felonious politicians and absolutely
corrupt government. WAKE UP, will ya?!?
Bloody Wacos at home, and criminally devastating
wars waged
abroad, ....Chinese spies buying politicians, ....AIDS
tainted prison
blood,
recklessly marketed and sold with wanton disregard by
Clinton and
his cronies, ....the Foster murder cover-up,
....malicious misuse of the
IRS
against outspoken opponents, ....the shootdown and
whitewash of
..Pan-Am 800..
....the list is never-fukken-ending!!!....
....OK, ....I'm almost done. The following is a
sample of some of the fluff flying around the internet
on multi-layered forwards, and forwards of forwards:
This list was circulated as humor, but it's probably much closer to the truth than anyone would like to admit. Yeah, ....think about the last time you tried to get through a simple encounter with a government bureaucrat.... ....And here's another thing I pilfered from my daily blizzard of inane email, that might just have some contextual value, after all. Remember as you read this, how well today's young folks score on scholastic aptitude tests, and the recent quality of the English language as spoken and written. Ahh, ....yes, ....young people....the new generation ....the new guardians of freedom and liberty. ....Not that the following list is entirely germane to the continued existence of mankind on Earth, but remember, too, the time proven adage, "Those unable to learn from the lessons of history, are doomed to repeat them." The excerpt:
[ed.note: it kinda gives you a sense of the mindset of that year's staff at Beloit College in Wisconsin, too] Here's this year's list: Hmmmmmn.... ....Now, given what these youths don't know, and the
obviously poor quality of their education
