Is it just me...

in #anarchy7 years ago

I've noticed that the war rhetoric has been ratcheting up significantly lately. I've also noticed that there are polls starting to come out now showing a large percentage of respondents in agreement that North Korea is an imminent threat. It doesn't matter where you go to try to escape all this crap, there always seems to be somebody within ear shot that has a comment about events as they are unfolding today in the world around us. Comments I can find just about word for word on any news stream found on TV or the local and national papers.

The one thing I never seem to hear from anybody are logical discussions as to why. If you have read my blurbs, I have posed that query in one of my posts earlier. The amount of fear that is being promoted via the main stream media just never seems to be questioned, it is only accepted. Hence the war on alternative news sites. There was a certain officer in the nazi ss hierarchy, I think his name was Goebels, who stated that if you tell a lie often enough it will come to be believed. I am inclined to believe that strategy is now in play and has been for quite some time.

Honestly, are people really that gullible to actually think that North Korea can launch an ICBM from halfway around the world and hit any city in the continental US? If we all sat back and did nothing and just watched it come in fed live on your favorite news channel then yea, it is certainly possible. Are the people being de-sensitized for such an event? I believe so. Are people falling for all this crap, I don't think so, I know so.

I hear scary things from these talking heads who manipulate these polls and say things like 'a large percentage of the population think we should strike first' and on and on. Repetition and manipulation of the mindless to come to that conclusion. It just seems to be pounded out at you brought to you live 'every hour on the hour'. Out of all these polls, that say 19 out of 20, or based on our numbers that is 75 or 80 or whatever percentage are in agreement of... that's funny because I don't ever recall being contacted to participate in any of these polls, however I do recall a couple of calls that, I suspect, pre-screened me from being excluded and actively participating in them. I laugh when these pollsters say that these numbers were based on random results, like they plucked these people out of thin air, random, my ass.

What happens when it is time to reap what we sow? Can anybody read between the lines anymore? Is war simply to be accepted because the polls of the brain dead some how justify it? And it's not just North Korea, Iran is an issue, Russia, China. For crying out loud, Yemen and Venezuela (being the super powers they are) are now in the sights of the powers that be. Doesn't anybody even realize that the US alone has over 200,000 military personnel around the world with some 177 bases and more coming on-line now by the day? Still think you still live in a democracy? Do you even know what it means? I guess you are an expert if you say that you are allowed to vote.

Have the roles been reversed between what an electorate is and what an elected does?
Does anybody even know the difference or is it just me.
