Becoming unbamboozled … (05/20/2015)
I know I’m tackling this issue a bit early, and yet I figure it’s better to address it now — before you poor Americans get fully inundated by the election-frenzy that will very soon begin to invade your lives.
And all I really need to say is this: your vote no longer counts, if for no other reason than the men and women who are supposedly campaigning for that vote have already themselves “voted”:
They have “voted” for their own comfort …
They have “voted” for their own power …
They have “voted” for their own hypocrisy …
& They have “voted” for their own greed.
PLEASE, my Friends … I know it will be VERY tempting to keep attaching your hopes for a better future on the next smooth-talking criminal who will say all the right things and make all the right promises — and I know it will be VERY tempting to remain locked into the political choices of your past; the sacred-yet-hollow ideologies that have been hammered into your brain since your youth.
AND YET you do NOT have to keep playing THEIR game … Just as you are not required to continue making the same mistakes over & over & over again in your own private lives, so too are you not required to vote for a “new face” that will simply transform into the next version of his or her corrupt predecessor once elected.
Americans — it is time for you to AWAKEN! Your country was indeed founded on the glorious principle of freedom, and yet you are no longer free … Your country was indeed founded on the profound principle of Truth, and yet you are being fed a steady stream of lies … Your country was indeed founded on the brilliant hope of democracy, and yet that hope has crumbled, and an insidious oligarchy is all that remains.
Please wake up and see that it is indeed so …
… and then please start acting accordingly.
“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken.” ~ Carl Sagan
