A couple of surmises.

PREMISE #1

NOBODY LIKES THE U.S.A.

They really like our money, but nobody really likes America.

They don’t like our foreign policy.

They don’t like the way we treat “terrorists”.

They don’t like our military presence.

They don’t like our missionaries.

But they REALLY like our money.

Most Americans don’t like the U.S. government.

It has become too expensive, too invasive, too monolithic in regards to its own citizens.

We don’t like our foreign policy. 

We don’t like our worldwide military presence.  Those are our kids, our husbands, brothers, sisters that those people are shooting at.

We don’t like how the bureaucracy treats our military when they get home, if they get home.

We don’t like spending billions of dollars to prop up corrupt bloody regimes for arcane political ends that benefit a select few in those regimes.

We also like our money and would really like to keep more of it at home, literally.  In our homes and our pockets.

PREMISE #2

That the government of the U.S. does not care in the least how the American people feel about anything it does or causes to happen.

The entrenched bureaucracy that really runs the country behind its ivory tower walls of anonymity & immunity from responsibility continues in its unshakable belief in its own correctness, superiority and inherent right to do what it pleases when it pleases.

From Congress passing into law bills written by and for corporations and other special interest groups, to the IRS bleeding the American people to support Afghan and Iraqi warlords and corrupt Socialist regimes, including the U.N., all over the world.  All the way down to the Post Office cutting services and raising rates at will.

The State Department using our military personnel to enforce its own version of “democracy” on millennia old tribal and ethnic cultures who are smart enough to give lip service with their hands outstretched while enforcing their culturally inherited discipline and control out of sight of those handing out checks.

PREMISE #3

The American government is VERY GOOD  at what it does.

Which is, basically, to act in a Fascist manner, controlling the populace with a myriad of conflicting and confusing laws, rules, regulations, bureaucracies and police agencies and policies.

Using the mass media to foster and foment dissension and distrust between ethnic and political groups to prevent any sort of unity of thought or action.

Utilizing secrecy and opacity of purpose to keep said groups and populations in the dark and ignorant of the ruling elites true intent, goals and desired ends.

Smoke and Mirrors,. The Big Lie.

The twin concepts worked so well for the National Socialists (read NAZIs) and for the Communist Party from its very inception.

And never let it be said that Republicrats and bureaucronies can’t learn from success.

If a person actually takes the time to observe the difference between what the government (at any level) says and what actually does or allows to happen, that person soon learns that reality and government claims are, in truth, polar opposites.

And, regardless of any and all claims and assertions to the contrary, mainstream media is, repeat IS, a vital, if deniable, partner to the vast web of government.

All media are owned by charter members, either corporate or infividual, of that establishment, to adopt the old terminology.

And, as such chattels, operate at the behest and in the interest of those owners. 

With that in mind, it becomes more and more obvious we exist in a fog of disinformation, half truths and outright lies.

What we, as Americans, truly need to remember is that we are, all of us, Americans.

And that we have in common, the Constitution, and our history, spotty though it may be, that tells us we all have rights, regardless of what “the government” has to say about it.

And, conversely, the responsibility to insist that everybody, all Americans, must have those rights as well.

REGARDLESS OF THE GOVERNMENT’S OPINION OF THE MATTER.
