Buzz-words are just an accepted
stratagem wily politicians use to joust with one another. They have no real meaning. Using
such words is of no consequence to any of them. Creative words with shock value are only
used to embellish their performance and play on our emotions. Pretending to be on our
side, truly concerned, battling the power giant is only a diversionary tactic.
Unfortunately, theme words do get our attention, and play well for a moment. Fortunately,
quickly realizing their play acting lackes substance, and the words ring hollow, they die.
Such buzz-words, and countless
others, are refreshed daily to continually misdirect the public. There is no let up from
the diversionary bravado of power. Has any of their artificial political skirmishes done
us any good? Come on ... you know the answer. Their speeches are devised to throw us off
balance -- to hypnotize ... confident that later on we won’t have the foggiest notion
of what was said to us. Well, much to their chagrin the spell has been broken. We are
waking up.
While the words "smoke - mirrors
- voodoo" are bandied about as accusatory references to duel with amongst themselves,
we remain targets of a fundamental plan ... "keep them in the dark." Like
any good sorcerer, with the one hand they have us focusing on convertible words, while
their other hand is dipping into our lives. If it were only an enjoyable act on the midway
of a carnival, it might be amusing. When the illusion promotes deception for the benefit
of power, theft of our future the true design ... that is quite another thing.
Our escalating emotions emerging as
discontent, disapproval, and in some instances, bordering on rebellion, are mirrored in
the records of history ... a mirror we can draw comfort from. A power capable of
repressing a society forever has never existed. Although power never possessed the awesome
tools of today, the oppressed never possessed the tools of power as we do today. The tool
has virtually been placed it in our laps. The computer they are bent on placing before
every student in school is becoming our weapon too. Are they thinking? Are you thinking?
It is no longer arguable, corporate
has become the major stockholder of our government. Under their connivance our elected
became their employees -- blowing the smoke they nimbly conceal themselves behind, right
in our faces.
Having been set off balance by the
speed of alteration our society is proceeding at, it took a moment, but we are regrouping.
What happened, what are the causes and where is it going, makes the headlines daily. The
trouble is, no one is really allowed to carry the ball after the headlines die. We are the
ones that must become constructive and overwhelmingly influence what is broadcast. We must
carry the ball all the way to the basket and slam-dunk it. If we don’t make an all
out effort, the future course of human alteration will make today’s pace seem like a
slow shuffle.
Not a day goes by, without another
software engineer, developing another program for the chip to digest. Its appetite is
insatiable. The faster it’s fed, the greater its capacity becomes. There doesn’t
appear to be an end. Data -- detailed as never before -- is being compiled and stored
(instantly available to analyze and contain us). Pollsters now create and retrieve the
results of a survey (in real time) while a political debate is in progress. If need be,
the thrust of an argument can be redirected before the debate ends. The marvel of the
chip?
The need to constantly invent words
attuned to polling results by using intuition will dwindle as a more stealthy chip gets
better at indicating the path of least resistance. The pulse of the public will be
monitored twenty four hours a day, charting weaknesses and devising prescriptions.
It’s getting close to that today. Example! The entire lot (both sides of the aisle)
are engulfed in campaign money scandals. The house is buzzing with investigative activity.
Each is doing their best to escape the truth. They play for time, knowing we are watching
the fiasco and are convinced, (probably with justification) our memories are short.
Bits of data, numbering in the
millions, are being stored in voracious diminutive chips. A dictionary normally weighing
pounds, can be stored in a pocket computer. For electronic engineers, reducing the size of
storage space is an ongoing goal. They are forging ahead and coming up with ways to
increase the million to billions, and so on. All this ... for what? What’s the need
for this mountain of information, and who is using it? Is it all being used legally?
I’m referring to the peoples concept of legality. Do we have the capabilities of
monitoring, and erasing files that shouldn’t be? You bet. Its been done and is being
done.
As we unsuspectingly go about our
daily business, stored information is inflicting misery. Those inflicted with the deadly
HIV virus must do their best to conceal it from the chip. The stored information, can have
them dismissed from their jobs, denied insurance ... diminish them to being social
outcasts.
If you have ever had the need to
switch medical insurance from one company to another, chip stored information about your
medical history is instantly transferred from one subscriber to another. Once your
preexisting conditions become visible to the new insurance company, the possibility of
coverage is just about nil. Switching auto insurance coverage works about the same.
This is only a glimpse of how
information gathering restricts and traps you. The most ironic aspect of this information
gathering frenzy is "we" the forcibly retrained computer literate, are the ones
compiling data about ourselves ... data that is being used to keep us in check. As the
"Hamburger" gets bigger ... the finger that pushes is wilting, and the time is
coming when even our digits won’t be needed. Something, perhaps machine and machine
will talk to each other.
The world of power, using the chip
exclusively for their benefit, is doing just fine right now. They feel confident there is
no hidden challenge they can’t cope with.
As we lick our wounds, keep trying
and hope for the best, power’s agenda moves forward. The products we used to make in
America are increasingly being totally manufactured over there. We buy from them because
there is no alternative. We therefore ship our dollars over there. The more we buy from
them the worse the trade balance becomes, the fewer jobs remain here and our debt piles
up.
As the carrousel turns, power grabs
the golden rings. We hear the music, even though we have not been invited to the party.
Is it any wonder, our government (now
a subsidiary of power’s organization) no longer feels obliged to pay attention to its
original assignment it has sworn an oath to perform. To add insult to injury the offenders
remain on ... "our payroll." Aint that something?
Those who have tried to penetrate the
web of politics and power, armed only with good intentions, have only been capable of
attaining a few moments of illusory glory and negligible value. Unless one has been
selected by and cultivated in the school of power, one will wind up on a road to nowhere,
littered with discarded good intentions.
What are the required skills of
politics and power? Why are honesty of purpose, openness of planning, willingness to
cooperate sure prescriptions for defeat? The words "politics and power" ... are
they really euphemisms depicting an ability to be crafty, deceitful, self serving, and
without conscience in order to forever abide by dark rules. They must be adept at turning
the mirror on each other, blow smoke at one another, evoke some sacred oath ... then party
the night away. If those tongue in cheek criteria are basically true their actions and
deeds make sense.
In the midst of mayhem, we are
beginning to attempt the seemingly impossible ... cleansing America of its charlatans.
Can we possibly sustain that
challenging task? Why not? We do have a "Declaration of Independence," a
"Constitution," and a "Bill of Rights." Within those documents lie the
original intent of our founders ... a society first and foremost to be for the good and
protection of "We The People." Though original intentions have been callously
subverted, we have the power to resurrect those intentions and restore the words
"Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" ... words we supported and
enthusiastically organized under. We rolled up our sleeves and went to work building
America with those words in mind.
Those words, and their concepts,
flooded this land with newcomers seeking ultimate freedom and opportunity. The words
belong to us, and we have the duty to make sure our children inherit them intact. We must
defend and preserve America’s noble experiment. The cause is upon us.
