American fools

There is some belief that the American people are the most gullible on the face of the earth. There is some validity to this claim. If Americans are not gullible, then they are certainly the most manipulated people around. Those that aren’t manipulated are foolish and naïve. We are a nation of Sheeple that has utterly bought into the belief system that in order to be happy we must have the latest stuff, electronic, vehicular, clothing, and jewelry, whatever. To be happy we need a need a Beemer, a 54-inch Flat Screen Plasma Television, diamonds, xbox 360, and a house that could hold a Guatemalan family of 24 in spacious comfort. Each day million of advertisements vomit forth, spreading insidious lies and distortions inducing Americans to spend, spend, spend. Saving money for a rainy day or for future purchases is an anathema. Americans are frantically pulling forth the financial worth of their homes to spend on toys, vacations, and geegaws that are obsolete before they even get home. The status of Americans has nothing to do with their value as humans beings, but only their acquisition of toys.

Are we so shallow a people that the acquisition of toys is more important than being loved and giving love? Apparently. Look at Christmas. What should be a deeply meaningful and solumn religious occasion is an insane stampede toward comsumerism and rampant greed.

Thanksgiving and More Taking

“…Television commercials are constantly making the case that we should not -- must not -- be content with what we have. And the ads offer innumerable ways that spending money can remedy the situation. In that sense, much of media keeps stoking the hot coals of unthankfulness -- dismissing what we already have as woefully insufficient…”

Not only are Americans clueless about how manipulated they are, they are also the largest lab rat population in the world. Both in terms of outright numbers and waist size. We have this child like belief that our Government wouldn’t hurt us. This belief, utterly without foundation, that the Government of United States would never knowingly harm its own citizens.

What a simple-minded belief.

What a mistake.

The United States Government, under both republican and demo-publicans, have been poisoning and killing its own citizens for decades. Ask the “Down winders”, those Utah residents that were poisoned by nuclear testing in the 1950’s, and a little problem that the federal government kept secret from everyone for years. Even when people started dying, the Fed’s kept quiet. It has never stopped.

Right now, our troops in Iraq and other places are being sickened and poisoned by Depleted Uranium Shells. Our own troops have been poisoned and some killed by the actions of the Unites States Government. For more information see the video, Beyond Treason, http://www.beyondtreason.com/, a sterling report on the U.S. Government’s long and brutal history of conducting military experiments on U.S. soldiers and civilians. While trumpeting their vow to "support our troops", our politicans and Military leaders are in fact poisoning them in mass numbers. Thousands of Gulf War I Vets have been permently disabled due to the crass and callous decisions of these so called leaders.

But beyond those who serve in our military, are those average ordinary citizens who did NOT volunteer for hazardous duty. Surely the U.S. Government wouldn't hurt little old ladies and children? Bet me. The U.S. Government will kill you where you stand if they thought it would make a profit for U.S. Corporations.

Right now, in your kitchen are poisons and nasty substances that the rest of the world has shunned, such as Genetically modified food, herbicides, pesticides, and more medication per family than most villages have for all. The rest of the world has determined that poisoning yourself is a bad idea and have rejected American efforts to force them to use various toxins and poisons in their daily lives. In contrast, The Citizens of the United States are systematically poisoned by the U.S. Corporations who place profit over the lives of their own consumers. And the United States Government is in full compliance with this treachery. The FDA stands for Flagrantly Diseased America.

U.S. Farmers Use Pesticide Despite Treaty By RITA BEAMISH, Associated Press Writer Sun Nov 27, 4:58 PM ET
“WATSONVILLE, Calif. - Shoppers rifle through store shelves brimming with succulent tomatoes and plump strawberries, hoping to enjoy one last round of fresh fruit before the Western growing season ends. There is no hint of a dark side to the blaze of red. ...” “…Other nations watch as the United States keeps permitting wide use of methyl bromide for tomatoes, strawberries, peppers, Christmas trees and other crops, even though the U.S. signed an international treaty banning all but the most critical uses by 2005. The chemical depletes the earth's protective ozone layer and can harm the human neurological system, an increasing concern as people settle further into what was once just farm country…”

Fact: The United States Government approves of the continued use of Methyl Bromide, which has been banned by the rest of the world due to its highly toxic impact on human nervous systems. In fact, the U.S. Government has signed treaty’s stating it would not approve the use of Methyl Bromide in other countries. But when it comes to the lives of Americans, the Federal Government, a collection of agencies wholly owned by Corporate America, couldn’t care less.

Americans wander the streets of this country absolutely oblivious to the treachery and betrayal of the U.S. Federal Government in collusion with Corporate America.
The Federal Government is not benign, it is your enemy. But, to be fair, this is not true of the career bureaucrats who populate the Governmental agencies. It is in fact the result of vapid and notoriously greedy politicians who set the priorities for the Federal Government. Politicians owned to the jockstrap by Corporate America.

Americans, don't believe what you are told, read, study, learn, and question!
