When lots of people are vying for the crown, the loud ones are easiest to fend off. The quiet ones...they calculate and plan in silence. Waiting for the perfect opportunity. It's then so easy, the crown is practically handed to them.
China. Calling in our debts. Building their military with our trillions of dollars being paid on loan via Uncle Sam's MasterCard. Total population of 1,306,313,812 to our 305,529,237. Most other countries watch the U.S. spend fabled dollars to get out of mounting disasters, and shake their heads in disbelief. Hard to make or keep allies when you can't impress anyone or instill trust. Can't take on the world alone.
Rome fell.
Dammit, I was just a couple of mouse clicks from slipping into bed. Made one stupid click on a newslink by a picture of Oberman's ladyface makeup and penismouth. Now I'll be up for another two hours.
Small detour here, but we will return to my point in a moment. Conspiracy theories. Sometimes difficult to not buy into, but at some point you have to separate the truths from questionable sources of information. Some are light, taking jabs at politicians for hidden meanings. Some are serious, stating national tragedies like 9-11 were intentionally carried out by our own country. While they are interesting to puzzle and stew over, I can't marry myself to them. Usually. There is one, however, that keeps me suspicious. And it's an old one: New World Order.
Europe's already in bed with the possibility. Their socialist base is a failure. Spain acknowledges it, and wonders why America is choosing to sacrifice capitalism in the name of a failed system.
So what's my point? I have several, but I'll start here - will we fall? Either to an outsider, or to ourselves... Who's the quietest assassin? I'm trying not to buy into the paranoia, but you have to admit...it can be a bit convincing. Take the following into consideration:
- The majority of our media is tainted by a love affair with the liberals. Not to plug for Fox News, but they're one of the few who report it straight and tell us what's not being reported elsewhere. That being said, most of what you hear elsewhere you cannot trust. Even in the papers. Take your MSNBC, your CNN, CBS....with a grain of salt. They're spitting propaganda in your face to keep you brainwashed. When their reporters attack peaceful protestors, you see them for what they are. http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2009/04/cnn_reporter_berates_tea_party.html
- Obama is cutting defense money in the midst of Presidential transition. I can't find specific details on it at the moment, so it could be argued as either good or bad. Reagan didn't cut defense budgets, though. And this is when the aforementioned quiet ones may see a window of opportunity through manipulation. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/?pageId=87759
- Again, a conspiracy, but interesting - some consider the possibility of the H1N1 virus, or "swine flu," as being an engineered biological weapon. I don't particularly buy into that, but it is alarming to ponder the ease with which it became a worldwide problem. In very little time. Suspiciously when so much is happening in that area of the globe. http://www.naturalnews.com/026141.html
Alright, it's getting late and I'm losing focus. I leave you with a bit I found on a website full of quotes regarding control.
Only a large-scale popular movement toward decentralization and self-help can arrest the present tendency toward statism... A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude. To make them love it is the task assigned, in present-day totalitarian states, to ministries of propaganda, newspaper editors and schoolteachers.
~ Aldous Huxley
