I fly like PAPER, get high like PLANES


An old Nazi propaganda technique: simplify and repeat.
The Great Fuhrer was on to something.

When thinking about the future of this country I only think about one thing - get the hell out.
We are starting the great war of the world that Eric Blair wrote about in 1949.
What is more frightening is that we have people like Orwell, Lakoff, and Chomsky to admire, but few do. Are these social theory gods really just pawns in the strata schema? Were they put in place to distract us from the Council of Five? The newspaper only confirms my paranoia. Because it is “holiday season” (who made up the holidays anyway?), there will be less “real” news in the paper and more space for advertising. We sacrifice the news for revenue. Around the holidays, people are generally exposed to more ads and consume more (which our government desperately needs to heal an ailing economy and fund wars around the world). Therefore, advertisers step up their game. If that doesn’t point the arrow to a capitalistic totalitarian government.
Corporations and companies launch a full assault on the consumer and soon people are shopping, and full of unseeded holiday emotions. We forget the real issues at hand and the sliver of “real” news that goes reported is buried under fluffy feature columns and pretty sweaters from Sears. If you look back in history most great conflicts that we seem to involve this country in start sometime in the cold, bitter winter season – and by spring we should have a full bloom nuclear war with some other “terrorist” lower tier nation. The government hates journalist, journalist loathe the government and advertisers. The government in turn is the advertisers (think corporations). The three cooperate and the three rule the world. Total domination.

On a lighter note-
Music is amazing. That might seem like a trite statement but when you consider the affect of an up beat to your mood, the beat (heart and drum) can be spectacular. Take Mika and MIA, for example. I know they are part of some hipster phenomenon but the music touches me in that girly spot. It reminds me of my youth and Broadway hands. It's light and easy to dance to. Just what the world needs. We spend so much time focusing our follies on trivial problems that we forget to have fun. I am not suggesting that we cast aside our moral responsibility played out to gun shots and Nintendo sound effects but maybe we should just listen to happier music and the world might be a little happier too. Try it. I recommend MIA (paper planes) and Mika (relax, take it easy).

Music is your only friend - until the end. The Doors.

It's crazy to have you point all that out about everyone now focusing on the holidays and not on all the confusion that is going on in this country. I also believe that there is a counsel of 5 that keeps us sheltered to the greed, poverty, and chaos that is quickly bringing this country down. So yes i will take your advise and "GET THE HELL OUT," but first let me inform my slave owner that I will no longer be able to do "his" job. Well Frank i want you to know I am your biggest fan.
Your friend,
