people whom interpret their "prediction" as the one all be all are...odd.
We are dying a death by a thousand cuts, which to me, is a hell of a lot worse.
We are slaves of willful manipulation. If we as a world civilization choose to ignore the realities of our existence, the we are the ones who are totally to blame.
We know better. History has shown as such, but if you step back and look at all the various revolutions and civil wars, they were all manipulated by the wealthy and influential.
In the end, as with most wars, the rich always come out on top. They see the trends and the gullibility of the masses and play us for it to the hilt.
Look at Iraq and Afghanistan? Who is winning there? The corporations. It's the perfect war for the rich, it has no end.
Those wars are sold on two things: fear and nationalism. Patriotism never once figured into them. We are just the willful slaves doing their work under the guise of our justification.
So we, the worker bees, go off and fight in the wars for the rich, yet again.
Terrorist attacks will happen because the poor schlubs blowing themselves up are the most desperate types of slaves. They believe they have nothing to lose. That their lives are so meaningless, that they would rather sacrifice themselves than live another day longer. You can't defeat that kind of ideology. Until you change the meaning of their existence. We are just helping perpetuate the martyring of these people. How? By trying to maintain our "none negotiable way of life".
They martyrs die for nothing, we die for things. Both sides of the same coin.
The wars go on. The rich can continue to make money. The worker bees stay in fear. The military economy continues to keep our nation afloat with a monetary system supported by nothing.
The days of FDR are dead. Everything has been whittled away under the right wings propaganda machine. People on welfare are bad, unions are bad, anything to help the poor is bad. They attack SS, medicare and medicaid. The list goes on and on.
The gap between the rich and poor grows exponentially each year. More people are on the poverty rolls then ever before. CEO's make over 500 times more than the average employee. 40 years ago, they only made 40 times as much.
Society has been given over completely to the wealthy.
They control the message, they control what we think, say and do as a nation and as a world.
As long as the people believe that their problems can be solved by screaming at one another, nothing will ever change. It just takes the heat off the rich and powerful. That's their aim, that's their goal. Always keep society off balance. Never ever let the coalesce into any sort of force.
So to say we are slaves interesting. It's like saying a dog is a canine.
We are children who love to masquerade as adults.
