Google, your data suppression methods are obvious, easily recorded, abysmally inept and generally pathetic.

The simple fact that you actively engage in suppressing this and other alternative news sites means we have won and TRUTH will prevail in the end.

Your Neighbour is YOU!

They just 'don't seem to get it' these days! America is RACING toward a Totalitarian State -- indefinite detention without charge or trial and extra-judicial (CRIMINAL) Presidential 'kill lists' -- and what are the irresistible masses doing about it, SWEET FUCK ALL?

I never thought I'd live to see the day when an entire generation would just lay down and die rather than fight for their rights as their forefathers and previous generations did so EFFECTIVELY before them.

So, curious to the bone, I set out to discover the whys and wherefores to this shameful COWARDLY social INACTION in the face of OVERT criminality and social oppression from a minority, ruling criminal elite.

I began asking all the members of the 'ME' generation the obvious question and the majority response should not surprise anyone. Without exception the unanimous response ran along these lines -- 'what can 'I' do against the machine? How can 'I' change things, 'I' just try to get the most out of it (prevailing circumstances) that 'I' can?' That is the gist of the responses from a good demographic cross-section of these not so beautiful losers!

A little background info is now warranted. THE above composite answer to my questions defies logic and the HISTORICAL RECORD, which is saturated with numerous accounts of SUCCESSFUL social opposition to corrupt ruling elites and the masses changing the course and direction of NATIONS -- the American Revolution is only one such example!

So the belief that todays generations can't do anything to change things is entirely incorrect, OR IS IT?

Previous generations (unconsciously) regarded themselves as ACTIVE participants in society whereas today's generations have no concept of active participation or their ability to CHANGE the direction their society is taking -- they have been well trained to be passive consumers not active participants -- that is the interesting first point I would make. I was astounded by the passivity, complacence, and quite frankly, COWARDICE of this new generation of SLAVES!

Historical data and other information relating to effective social CHANGE has not been suppressed (yet) -- though the mass media disregards this data -- a little research reveals a wealth of active social and revolutionary information, books and HOWTOs on organizing your neighborhoods, immediate groups and general area, this information is abundant and freely available in the public domain. But as we all know, you can lead a slave to freedom but the slave must engage the ACTIVE PROCESS of FREEDOM for him/herself -- FREEDOM is not a passive or spectator sport, mate! FREEDOM requires commitment and ongoing active PARTICIPATION!

It became painfully apparent that the 'ME' generation is distinct from all previous generations, the 'ME' generation have one overriding characteristic, they are PASSIVE CONSUMERS, they are possibly the most passive social group of all time -- their's is a subscription-ONLY based reality, so it is not surprising they regard themselves as unable to effect change!

We have established the existence of two diametrically opposed social groups/realities, the first historical group effected social change by virtue of their active social participation and the new slave generation of alienated, passive consumers, affect nothing. And it's no accident it turned out that way!

The new ('ME' by design) groups are characterized by their total obsequiousness and toleration of the most flagrant oppressive laws and crimes perpetrated by their respective governments -- which would have precipitated immediate revolutionary responses in the past, however, today's passive consumers are a totally DEPENDENT social group.

In ancient Rome the state utilized chains and physical bonds to restrain their slaves, however, today's new slave groups have been far more effectively enslaved via DIGITAL MEANS, especially the ubiquitous 'smartphone' and other similar 'smart' software packages and portable digital devices. Indeed, today's slaves wear their digital chains with pride, they derive a (perverse) sense of belonging as members of the largest group of slaves known to history.

I am sure you can work the rest out for yourselves -- the Orwellian future is in very plain sight and it sure ain't pretty! What this self-centered, all about me, generation FAILS to realize is that slaves do not command recognition or any respect whatsoever -- they are totally EXPENDABLE and are regarded as less than beasts of burden by their masters, or is that reality becoming obvious today?

I'll give you two instances of a cure for the current social plague, which will no doubt fall on deaf ears. The Christian Saviour advised us to 'love our neighbors' (brothers and sisters) as ourselves for very good reason; and in the East the Buddha, when questioned by his foremost disciple as to the essence of his teaching, simply responded, 'good fellowship, Aanada, good fellowship!'

So there you have it, ignore this extremely wise integrating social advice to your very great cost, you genitally groped, indefinitely detained, legally tortured and assassinated group of expendable no-accounts!



A generation that had no conception of powerlessness stopped an unjust war and was ready to impeach a criminal President
