The American people are not the international bad guys. Bad things happen, politicians are not always what they claim to be but as a people, we are not to blame. We really have no say.
It breaks my heart to know that so many people now suffer, have suffered and will certainly continue to suffer in the days to come, due to the fact that the American people truly have no say over what their leaders do.
The American people, as a whole, still believe that their vote actually counts for something. The greatest and most powerful nation on the earth and the people actually still believe that the global powers…the ones who really run the country, along with the rest of the planet, are truly going to leave the fate of the nation and it’s leadership to the vote of the people. How naïve is that?
“We the people” only know what we’re told…for the most part. People get up in the morning, they eat breakfast, get dressed, go to work and try not to get mugged, killed or fired. If they make it through the day unscathed, they then go home, read the paper…(manipulated information intended mostly to entertain and amuse than truly inform), listen to the kids fight, the dog bark, eat dinner and send off a few checks to the creditors (BILLS) before watching a little television, also meant to enthrall, hypnotize and manipulate the majority, before drinking a little warm milk to ease the heartburn and go to bed.
All we know about the war in the Middle East is what we are told by way of news paper and T.V. The truth exists in the reality of those who are having to live the nightmare and for the time being…that is NOT the American public…although that is about to change.
A truly unhappy woman left a comment on my “Who Is Obama” article that caused me some serious discomfort. First of all she clearly did not understand what I had written or she seriously misinterpreted it and I am sorry.
Outside of those who have suffered most, there are few people as unhappy with the state of the union as I presently am. Our Presidents have done unconscionable, unspeakable atrocities and then lied through their teeth or just plain outright denied the truth to the people.
In 1998…if I’m not mistaken, the UN Summit Conferences held in Turkey, were kept totally and entirely from the American people. Bill Clinton and his charming wife Hillary, along with her miscreant Women’s Caucus, deliberately kept this conference from the people and then sought to pass one law after another, which would directly effect the lives of every American man, woman and child, not only in America but around the world! Laws on abortion, laws on marriage, laws on family and household income, laws on daycare. The American people are suffering, thanks to our conscienceless government, along with the rest of the homeless, orphaned and afflicted world populace!
There are very few who are happy with the Clinton administration or either of the Bush administrations and we fear with great trepidation, doubt and social conflict, the next administration to take office. No one dares to vote because there isn’t anyone worthy to take office and we all know it! Those who vote…their votes don’t mean crap anyway and the rest of us…the silent majority, have no power and so refuse to advocate either of the two evils. To do so would only result in a black spot upon our own souls, as our party goes to and fro upon the earth terrorizing, dominating and killing whomever they so choose at will.
When people look at the U.S. and think evil and hatred upon it’s hardworking, if not totally ignorant population, who only seek, for the most part, to do an honest day’s work for an honest days wage and see to the needs of their families, I am sorry for you because clearly you are as ignorant to the facts and the truth as we are. Nothing would please our world leaders more than to have all of us blue collar laborers, in every country, rise up in hatred and kill of the majority of the worlds population. It’s what they’ve been trying to do for decades now! How much easier would it be if we all just killed each other without them having to invent new ways to do it themselves?
Wake up people! I don’t care what God you worship or from what land you hail….WAKE UP! The United States is not the enemy and neither are her people! It’s all the governments in all the lands…the UN is the enemy, the Illuminate is the enemy, the super wealthy around the globe who want absolute autonomy over all people are the enemy. The people in every land, who are just regular people, trying desperately to survive and leave something worth remembering to the next generation are NOT the enemy. Get your facts strait people and begin placing blame where it belongs in the Whitehouse… not in the little run down ranch homes that dot the land or the slums where people are making and selling drugs in order to feed their families. We are also suffering. Maybe we haven’t been attacked with bombs and troops with guns from other lands but we suffer disease without relief, we suffer homelessness and starvation just like the rest of the world. “We the People” Just want peace and there is none to be found. We’re not the bad guys Sara. We’re victims JUST LIKE YOU.
Ahh, you again with your sorrowful, ‘woe is me’ tale…
I did not expect anything better actually. To address some of the comments you made in this article:
- “A truly unhappy woman left a comment on my “Who Is Obama” article that caused me some serious discomfort. First of all she clearly did not understand what I had written or she seriously misinterpreted it and I am sorry” — Typical american response; if anyone chooses to disagree with you and present actual facts rather than some emotional sob-story, they are either unhappy or ‘do not understand what you say’. To clarify, I am an extremely happy person and I speak perfect English. No language barriers here…got it?
- “The American people are not the international bad guys. Bad things happen, politicians are not always what they claim to be but as a people, we are not to blame. We really have no say.”
— First, I lived in America for several years and then chose to return to my land of birth. Let me tell you that when war was declared against Iraq and even after the 9/11 commission report, I worked shoulder to shoulder with americans who verbally and literally said ‘Lets go over there and kick their butts’. This is not the attitude or a comment of a helpless people but of a true aggressor!!. You are a nation with the highest number of school shootings in the world. See what I mean about true aggressors !! You have even taught your children to settle differences of opinion with a weapon !!!!
Secondly, you do have a say; your media networks are smart enough to feed you more of what you really want – “trash” that is meant to entertain rather than inform. You would rather know what Britney spears or Anna Nicole smith was up to than true news reporting of global events. The reason you are not given the truth is because you DO NOT WANT IT !!
– Thirdly, I do agree that you have no say NOT because you actually don’t have a say but because if you want to have a say, then you have to make the time and effort to read and be suitably informed. It is a well know fact that you are a nation of the dumbest people on the planet. However, you are the ones talking about spreading democracy and freedom !!, even though your system of govt. is not a democracy and you are not really free. Another example of American hypocrisy that is well known by most people outside the USA except Americans. “Land of the the free and home of the brave” – what a bunch of crock !!
Think about what I have said. These are the FACTS !!!
Sara…you are so full of crap my dear! Seriously you understand and speak perfect english? Good then there will be no missunderstandings between us from this point on you self righteous, opinionated, overly verbal, jugemental hypocrite!!!! Sure there are people here who are so aggressive it makes many others….who ARE NOT…want to kick them but we don’t! We are told untruths and so you are telling me that now that America has waged war on other countries that those countries don’t say…”LETS GO KICK AMERICAS BUTT?!!!?” Who are you trying to kid with your “I’M SO SMART>>>>LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME
anyway….Sara…if you don’t like what I write and what I believe….STOP reading it. I have lived in the United States all of my life and while I know that there is a great deal of truth to what you’re saying….and I have not even tried to disagree with you…it’s pretty clear you just want to fight. And you call us aggressor? You seem pretty verbal and completely aggeressive. You certainly waste no time or opportunity picking a fight and insulting people so I think you should look in the mirror when you make those accusations little girl.
Yes there are many aggressive people in the USA. That doesn’t change the political facts. Yes, when we were attacked people wanted to fight back…just as any nation on the planet would and does.
Most of the people still don’t know exactly what happened on 9/11 and now the government is saying it wasn’t Iraq after all…it was Afganistan or some such and many of the people are just stupified and mesmerized and no…most of them don’t want to believe the US is capable of the autrocities the rest of the world see clearly. They want to be happy…to eat, drink and be merry and why not? What is so wrong with wanting and believing in peace? Only those of us who seem to have a little extra insight to the truth even acknowledge, TO THIS DAY, that something isn’t right with the government.
You are hitting a brick wall with a sponge. And the “woe is me, sorry sob story?” Really…I don’t feel sorry for myself but i do pity the people who don’t even bother to question the actions of our government and I pity you for not recognizing that I have only tried to be your friend. You don’t want my friendship? Fine…do without. Your bad attitude and unwillingness to at least communicate amiably has clearly gotten you to whatever abyss you now dwell so again….if you don’t like what I say stop reading it. I am trying to wake up the lethargic citizens in the USA to the truth and you are not helping your own argument. In fact…you’re pretty much clipping your own wings. Stop getting in my way and stop reading what you don’t agree with or I will be forced to believe you actually do like reading what I write. It gives you something to respond to and complain about and I don’t rub elbows with complainers.
If you can aid me in turning the heads of my countrymen great…if you can’t do anything more than complain and whine….go use someone else as your shrink. I have bigger problems to deal with than whether you agree with what I am having to live with as a truth or not.
And just because you lived here once upon a time doesn’t make you an expert on us OR our government. Just because you were in earshot of some arrogant fops who were high on testosterone doesn’t mean an entire nation of millions and millions share thier small minded attitude. Although I will admit many do due to ignorance….tis too true. Go your way and peace be with you…go on being your happy little self but do it on someone else’s time and page.
You made your point
