Since mankind's dawn, a handful of oppressors have accepted the responsibility over our lives that we should have accepted for ourselves. By doing so, they took our power. By doing nothing, we gave it away. We've seen where their way leads, through camps and wars, towards the slaughterhouse.
The plan is working, nobody cares anymore. Not really. We wear Hugo Boss sweaters, H&M trousers, buy cheap plastic things made in China and Coca Cola by the bottleloads, and brush off the obvious cruelty these companies employ to make production cheaper.
Capitalism, fuck yeah.
In this age of information we either keep ourselves willfully ignorant or throw a few papers of your currency of choice at some charities to ease the conscience. We trust our companies to be honest and our political parties to be truthful. Neither is the case and the consequences to offending parties are minimal, again mostly they get out by throwing money at the problem.
The result is that rich companies continue to be dishonest and rich politicians continue to be deceitful. Lobbyists are aplenty in both corners cutting deals behind the scenes left and right, owning most of the big media corps so no need for them to go snooping around.
The FBI/CIA have a rich and colourful history of spying on people, civilians and otherwise. Ever read about the death of Ernest Hemingway, and what lead to it?
Everybody knew, at the back of their minds, that the emperor was wearing no clothes, but refused to speak out out of fear of the guards, and ridicule from the public who would be trying to keep the facade.
Now that the emperor has been called out, everybody seems to have gotten used to the trotting naked man and don't want to see him leave.
Now we shall wait for the surveillance vans. It could be implemented into google: "Google Street and Sound".
London has a bunch of CCTV cameras, at least four, yet crime rate seems to be at a steady pace.
Why do neo-police states always think Orwellian surveillance will keep the baddies from being bad?
Let the wishes of the few outweigh the needs of many -
In this land where money talks we have little chance if any.
Bring the nation back to basics -
Lionize Dickensian dreams,
Hide a heart that's grey and cold behind an image squeaky-clean.
