Bush actually DID keep us safe from the terrorists....
No Im jokin'. People still haven't figured it out yet. And I don't think they ever will. The problem is that we keep thinking we can make them see. The real us "kings" aren't the presidents. Money rules the world.
I was reading machiavel and he says that politics deals with 3 things:
The king, the rich and the people. Now we know that the above 2 don't work for us the people. Right now, the rich have the power. They pull the strings. War brings money. So as well as i'd like to only look at bush. He was just "in bed" with these people. Just another pawn, payed for front man. Is Obama better? yes and no. Now I know I will get stoned for this but instead if buying into the frenzy and say we are saved like most. I choose to stay neutral and observe.
Life most of the times, has 2 sides of a coin. Now the good side would be that there are no 2 sides. And that Obama really is a "good guy".
But would it really be soo impossible to think that there might be someone higher up?Really??? Of course people are willing to believe without once thinking for a minute. They were affraid!!! I was watching at "the mist" by stephen king yesterday. At the beggining of the movie there was this religious fanatic preaching. No one would pay attention to her and the ones that were, were telling her to shut up. But as the movie progresses and the people got more affraid they all submitted to her and as she said:"they were on ther knees".
Now Im not saying Obama is that crazy lady. But we do have to think for a moment. AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!!!!! Just now after bush the perfect president comes along? He's
"anti-war",smart and afro-american?
Where were all the other minorities who wanted to be president and make a change? So I went to his website and see what he was promising. Yes he wants to pull out troops from Irak.
Yes he wants a health system.
Yes he wants to give more jobs.
Yes he wants to reduce taxes.
And yes he closed guantanamo bay.
But he wants to
"Find, Disrupt, and Destroy Al Qaeda"
"increase our ground forces by 65,000 soldiers and 27,000 Marines"
And he wants to disarm Iran.
Now we know that Al quaeda didn't cause the 911 or if they did they were under the approval of the states. So why still this "need" to pursue these guys? How is he gonna fix all these things when he's reducing taxes and increasing the military and rebuilding the army as he says? Why do we need more army all the time? The world is fucked up. But not as they say it is. Where will he find that money?
Finally, if the states want to end nuclear bombs that much. Start with your own.
I hope Obama is for real. In the bottom of my heart I really hope he is. It was a song that first made me take a deeper look into all of this. And at first I really criticized the artists that made it.
But after my "deception" passed it really got me thinking. And it re-energized me. It was thinking that made me the person I am. As I'm not the "every day routine" type of guy. And the best thing a government can wish for is
that the whole world stopped thinking....except for the kings and queens........
Now this post started out as a reply for Anok's blog(http://identitycheck-anok.blogspot.com/) but then it just got too long. SO I posted it here :D

Take a dumb pill.
We live in a world of pills.
Since a while I've been counting the number of pill commercials on TV. Hundreds! Erection problems? Take a pill. Depression?Take a pill. Allergies? Take a pill. and so on.
Having had depression when I was in my teenage years, I've had some experience with the "get well" pills. Let me tell you, they work! Oh yeah, they are great! I started taking them and I was happy all the time. The flip-side? They are legal recreational drugs. During the time I was on these pills, I noticed I never drew anymore. I never wrote, I never created anything.Now drawing has been my favorite leisure since I could hold a pencil. Drawing is my life and income since I'm a graphic designer. But I never drew so there was no money coming in either but I didn't care. I was on the "get well"pill.
I'm a thinker, I think all day long. Everyone thinks you'll tell me. No! I got thoughts like voices in my head. Constantly thinking about the future, trying to anticipate stuff, thinking about why our systems don't work and so on. But these pills, even when I wanted to think, nothing came. Zero. It was like a joint high, except I wasn't thinking about s#!^
You ask me, stress causes depression. The stress that comes from society enslaving you and not letting you live the live you dreamed of as a kid. In my case it was the lagoon. Let me clarify. As a kid I saw a movie called "The blue lagoon" and "The return to the blue lagoon". Since I was very young I wanted to get away from the corruption and filth that came with large societies having suffered many of their vices by adults. So when I saw these movies, I fell in love. I fell in love with the beach and the freedom that placed offered. But As I grew older, I still hadn't realized my dream of living in a place like that and it ate my alive. At the time I didn't realize that THAT was my problem so my parents sent me to a shrink. Take a pill she said. Take a pill and you'll feel better.
That's when I realized that the "chill pill" really existed. On that pill, I was never afraid, never down,never angry. I simply had no emotions. That a point that when I was on vacation, my mother called to inform me that robbers came to the house and beat my 70 yr old father. I simply couldn't feel anything. I loved my dad. But I simply couldn't feel anything!
They say that most diseases if not all start from not being at ease. Hence the word dis-ease. I think it's true. People are more and more enslaved in a capitalist system where they work their asses off in order to live up to the american dream; Leaving their families/husbands/wives for the last 10-15 minutes of the day between their daily jobs and sitcoms they watch before going to bed.
By the way when I wanted to stop taking the chill pill, I had the worst withdrawal symptoms ever. For about 3-4 months, everynight and I really mean everynight as in 120 nights, I had the most terrible nightmares ever.Look it up if you don't believe me. Google Paxil withdrawal.
So People of the system. Remember, when live gets too hard, Take a chill/paxil pill and dumb yourself down :)

Anarchy
Every time I seem to talk about anarchy, people always come with the same remarks. "Without government the world would be chaos"...bla bla blab bla and so on. It amazes me that even when presented with proof, the masses choose to be in denial and just shut off.
For example, lots of times i'm at home with a few people. I start having profound discussions with someone about politics,religion,etc... 10 times out of 10 someone else in the room will shout something of the like " You guys are always talking shit". But when we're talking about which girl is hot or the latest blockbuster movie, no one, NO ONE says something of the sort. I have come to the conclusion that some people are so deeply routed in the system that they would NEVER see the truth as it is too much complicated or they don't want to be considered as "crazy" or "nerdy" or"paranoid". They prefer to continue living their little lives in the simple routine set for them by their parents. Where they wake up, eat, go to work, come back from work, eat, exercice, watch a movie, and go to bed. They don't care about wars,injustice,the truth. What they care about is who brad pitt is curently dating or what cure lindsay lohan is following.
Yes people hate change. They hate effort. Every person I met or heard or read that wasn't content with the system/government had something to say about what bothered them about it. Some form of thought, profound thought. When I asked them why don't you believe in the system or why do you think god isn't what the bible says he is. They could spend hours debating. Yet the ones that believe god exists without ever doubting or the ones that say yes government is perfect. These fanatics would simply answer " God exists because he exists" or "The government is good and if you say it isn't good, you're a nerdy, paranoid conspiracy believing geek with no life" or "Get out, get a life". These people cannot spend more than a few seconds debating their cause. They are the ones that will simply get irritated and start attacking you on a personal level. Every time someone said to me I was acting childish, wasn't because I was crying, being immature or screaming. No, every time someone said that to me was because I wasn't agreeing with them.
To get back to the main problem. When most people hear anarchy they picture a mad max type of world. A world destroyed where gangs rule and do whatever they want. In fact it's quite the opposite. Since anarchy isn't a total absence of moral. It is simply a world where the small people aren't pushed around like when we were in secondary school. It is a place where there will be law but everyone will have a say. We are all tired of the constant wars, of police brutality, economic injustices. The rich get richer and the poor poorer. But the masses have been dumbed down. 95% of the people just don't care. The people of my generation who listen to hip hop back in the days know where it came from. I mean back in the day it was about poetry, life in the gettho,racism,oppression. Nowadays if you ain't rich or "gangsta"you can't rap. Nowadays, if you ain't talking about how many girls you got, how many chains,cars you ain't "in". This isn't a simple coincidence. Funny how how all artists that had real values and stayed true, died.
Bob Marley, John Lennon, Peter Tosh, Tupac among others. And they have been replaced by fake,empty puppets. People that sing about revolution are put aside and don't make a cent.
Yes, the world of today has been carefully planned for a long time. Things or people that make you think are carefully locked up or called "illegal". Marijuana is illegal and yet alcohol is legal. Why is that? Alcohol makes you want to party, have sex. Drunk driving killed thousands of people. But that's ok as long as you ain't thinking. But marijuana makes you re-examin things. Look at the hippies during the vietnam war.
But what kills me the most is that no matter how many times we present the truth, no matter how many times they see the truth, their eyes are and will stay closed. Yes, the people isn't something you can see or touch. The system is created by you and me and lives through you and me. But let us not lose hope. Even if its not today nor tomorrow, as long as there are people like me and revolutionaries like you out there and we spread the word, one day, one day we will form bigger communities and one day maybe there will be change.
