Title brought to you by the persecution of heretics in Spain and Monty Python:
Their five weapons are:
Surprise
Fear
Ruthless Efficiency
Fanatical Devotion
A Uniform
Of course I am using this as a euphemism to the
surprise everyone is feeling that Obama has not saved us all from complete economic collapse in
a whirlwind first few months of office. Not only has he not improved the situation but he has made it worse by funneling billions of dollars into a
black hole, that is our zombie banking system.
Let us all thank our government controlled media outlets for causing us all to
fear spending money while spouting that the economy will
recover, causing the cousin of
fear, confusion, to work out quite nicely.
Let us not understand the current situation so that the Sheeple can put all their
fanatical devotion into the government. In affect signing
away "of the people by the people" and making it into "of the politicians for the money."
While I am not
surprised by the
ruthless efficiency in which our governing system has failed us, many people are. Did you expect it all
to change over night? Did you think it would be better in an instant? Did you really think that this man you voted into office would change
anything?
People need to remember that the two most hated professions in the world are
lawyer and
politician.
Why are they most hated you ask?
Here is why: They say they work for the people, when they really work for themselves and corporations. Greed.
Lest us not forget a uniform:
Chains We Can Believe In!
