I am a resident of the United States of America. Once upon a time, I was convinced it was the greatest place on planet Earth. Now I'm convinced it is nothing more than a gilded cage (with the gold plating wearing extremely).
I am free to vote on the candidate of my choice in an election. The thing is, these "choices" are now highly controlled. Think any Joe Schmo can run for office? Think again! You have to either be connected or have a huge bank account yourself in order to play with the big boys. Don't even bother if you're not running on the Democrat or Republican ticket!!! What's that meme they have made us all believe? "Nobody wins if they aren't Democrat or Republican, right?" If you look around at the people in office even down to the local level you will see there are very few exceptions to this rule. There is one other thing that makes you an ideal candidate: corruptibility. Those who can be blackmailed are more likely to become politicians because they are the ones that can be controlled.
I am free to live the "American Dream"!!! For most people, this means buying a house that you cannot afford so you can pay interest on a loan that was created from thin air when you signed on the dotted line. Yes, banks create money based on the "loans" they give away. It's part of the fractional reserve lending practices they participate in. Once you sign on the dotted line, you too are part of this debt slave system. It gets even worse as you think about all the things people go into debt for nowadays. Cars, computers, high def gaming systems, boats and every other luxury item imaginable. You too can live the life of your dreams as a debt slave!!!
But we have "free" education--at least until college. Our educational system has become one of being able to jump through certain hoops. This is where things like standardized testing and crap like Common Core come in. Our educational system is not about helping children cope in the world. It is all about producing little worker bees they can spit out into designated slots at the correct time!!! Work hard, make good grades, and you too can be slotted into the working world of drudgery and debt slavery!!! It doesn't really matter what your talents are as long as you have the ability to fill a job they need filled. Happiness is definitely optional!!!
Then there's the media. Everything is entertainment...even what gets posted as "news". Why in the world do we need to know if Justin Beiber is being named in a paternity lawsuit? Why is Caitlyn Jenner news? (It isn't as though she is the first person to undergo a sex change operation.) What we need to know about are things like the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), which Congress is trying to pass secretly right now without the citizens of the US knowing a damn thing about what it contains!!! It is designed to give corporations the power to force their products into markets where they people have already rejected them!!! It also has broad powers to regulate the internet through taxes, fines, and imprisonment if you post something on there the powers that be don't like!!! WAKE UP, PEOPLE!!!
I am tired of conforming to the box I have been forced into by living in the United States. It isn't that I think living elsewhere would be better. I do not. I am just sick of the lies!!!
The only way to solve any problem is to first recognize you have one!!! I believe this country can be better. I believe this country can truly be free!!! It just requires that we wake up to what is being done to manipulate us into living inside the box and choosing to break out of it.
Take responsibility for yourself and your freedom. Otherwise, your power is forfeit as you empower those who only have their own best interests at heart.
