What is going on with the US population?

How could anyone vote for George W. Bush? This guy shouldn't be in the White House, he should be in prison. And now, with the fascists vindicated in the White House and in control of the House and the Senate (and soon the Supreme Court), the future is wide open. We will likely see more war, more death, and the complete pillaging of the US economy and our social system (social security, medicare, school budgets). We could see not only the outlawing of abortion, but the criminal prosecution of any woman who obtains an abortion. We could see the reinforcement of the Patriot Act, the scrapping of the Bill of Rights, and the full establishment of a police state. We could see a nuclear attack, ecological devastation, and the impoverishment of the working class.


How can such a large percentage of the US population remain blinded by denial in the face of so much evidence which flatly contradicts their view of reality (and isn't such delusion a feature of psychosis)? When the rest of the world clearly sees and deplores what is happening, how is it that a majority of the US population-which prides itself on freedom of information and informed democracy-has not clue what is really happening? How is this delusion being maintained? Through a few simple techniques.

1. Promote a system of socialization in schools that trains people to respect and obey authorities and not to question the system.

2. Encourage and rely on a social system where anyone who dissents is viewed as deviant.

3. Rely on and encourage family dysfunction, so that people are reacting from their own inner wounds and seeking acceptance and forgiveness.

4. Reinforce the atomization of society so that people have fewer opportunities to communicate openly.

5. Keep people stressed, afraid and insecure, while reporting that the economy is improving using only data for the upper percentiles of the population.

6. Support reactionary thinking and religious fundamentalism. And encourage the projection of fears and personal faults onto the Other, making him / her / them the enemy.

7. Throw any residual dangerous information down the memory hole.

8. Rely on the media to underreport serious issues and leave out important details.

9. Rely on the media to present a frame of reality which places an honest assessment outside of the viewer's comfort zone.

10. Count on the complicity and compromises of your opponent, while utilizing these complicities and compromises to present yourself as the honest candidate.

11. Repeated denial of culpability on major issues which could result in criminal charges (i.e. WMD, prisoner torture, 9-11 complicity, the Plame investigation).

12. Appeal to emotions using keywords and images; subconscious suggestion through staged media events.

13. Control the terms of conversation and debate using verbal framing. neurolinguistic programming (NLP).

14. Focus on minor, sensationalized issues.

amsterdam walks into a voting booth. "Hmm, lets see...how should i vote..." he scratches his head and reveiws his choices while adjusting his duct taped buddy holly glasses. he looks at one peice of paper that says "THROW ME IN JAIL AND OPRESS FREEDOM"
amsterdam nods his head. "Yess..this sounds good! Papa always said whats good for corporate america is good for me!"
Amsterdam casts his vote, convinced he's not a tard and tips his hat to Torog on his way out. "Say, ever get over your childhood issues ol guy?"
Torog begins to cry and quickly runs to cast his vote to throw himself in jail too.

WEEE GOOD JOB GUYS! Next time try not fucking up though

I actually did some campaign work locally for Bush last election. I'm sick of hearing the same fucking complaints from people opposed to what the government does. If there wasn't so much negativity toward the US gov't by Americans, then I believe that a lot of non-Americans would hate Bush a little less. I think in this situation you should support the decisions your president makes because it is for the benefit of the country that we have a leader who appears strong. I know a lot of people in the marines and I do hate that their lives are risked everyday, but at the same time I am so proud to know such patriotic and courageous people. And I know there are probably a lot of liberals/democrats/Bush-haters/anti-Americans looking at this thread, and y'all can waste your words and try to prove me wrong, but I will never change my opinions.

WHAT are you even doing here? I can't believe there are conservative pot smokers! That's like as big a contradiction as bush and freedom. It just baffles the mind at how brainwashed you are even though you smoke weed. I'm sorry, but it just makes me sick to my stomach lol! How can you possibly even begin to agree with republican shit?! It's evil and it HAS YOU!!!

[WalkaWalka]

Well Bush may or may not of Stole the Florida election it was too close for any ones comfort

good point.. if you look closley ..the left and right are really no differant ..except for a couple issue's [ guns abortion ect.ect] the whole left right thing in the US is to keep us distracted from gov't and big biz turning our once great and free country in to some orwellian nightmare ....if we do not learn to put our differances aside and work togeather against big gov't/ biz/organized crime ..they will surely divide and conquer what's left of this country....

I couldn't agree more! I am so sick of republican, democrat, conservative, liberal-it's all a bunch of bullshit, it's smoke and mirrors. It seems like when someone puts themselves in a political category they just become a chess piece for the government. They become an unknowing player in the shadow government's game of destroy America. I hope more people will wake up to the reality of whats REALLY going on in this country soon! It's not about republicans vs. democrats, it's about the government playing us all against each other so they can achieve their agendas!

Doesn't anyone find it interesting how the tables have turned? When Clinton was president, I think I recall it being the right wingers that were the paranoid conspiracy theoriests, they were saying the same kind of things that the left wingers are saying now about the government stepping all over the consitution and us being in danger of losing our freedoms, etc. Now that we have a republican for president it's the other way around, the left is now being accused of being paranoid conspiracy theorists! Well I was paranoid back then and I'm still paranoid now! It doesn't matter who's president or which political party appears to be popular or running show, the fact is it was and still is the shadow government that is controlling things behind the curtain!
