God, Country, Military and Mom

These are the four inviolable tenets of American culture. No one is allowed to question them or criticize them and leave with their reputation, and hence livelihood, unscathed. Let’s look at each and how they are used to keep Americans’ minds permanently enslaved.

God. No three letters have ever caused so much death and destruction by mankind. In today’s America it is verboten for politicians to profess atheist or agnostic views. Recently Rep. Pete Stark of California’s 13th district came out as an atheist. I’ll bet he would never have done so representing any other state or earlier in his life. America professes belief in a god that we cannot possibly know exists. Many Americans actually do not believe in god but say they do or call themselves spiritual because they know the heavy penalty for being a known nonbeliever. The Constitution clearly establishes separation of church and state and yet we live in a virtual theocracy where both major parties routinely proclaim their faith. The average politician does not believe in a benevolent god. The believe in money and they believe that religion allows leaders to control the credulous masses who need hope for a better life as the rich continue to undermine their very existence.

Country. What is country except land? Land is power and whites know it. That’s why they’ve spent the past few thousand years taking it from every nonwhite race on the planet. But country is also nationalism and nativism, what I like to call false patriotism or blind loyalty. It creates an us vs them mentality from a global perspective. Take the Olympics for example. Why do Americans always cheer for America just because we live here? This vestigial pack mentality that humans still possess leads to more wars and human conflicts that anything still swimming around in our lower brains. Loyalty to country means loyalty to the rich and the powers that be. God and country and usually mentioned in the same breath because whites still believe in Manifest Destiny and that God sanctions their killing of nonwhites for material gain. Interestingly many nonwhite Americans also buy into this nativist imperialism, as though the US can do no wrong. The media and public education are largely responsible for propagating these lies and they usually go unchallenged except in the periphery of left-wing journalism. Nonwhite Americans get right behind whites as though they are glad to be part of the winning team that kills and steals all over the planet. It’s better than living in Africa right?

Military. Young men must die to keep the old ones alive. No one is allowed to criticize the military despite their mercenarious ways of signing up children to kill women and children and steal oil from other countries for a paycheck when no work is available in the hometowns of the brainwashed from outsourcing and our enormous trade deficit. The US military demands blind loyalty. Soldiers are not allowed to question policy without being considered a traitor or a deserter. They are summarily tried and convicted by court martial and if they are lucky dishonorably discharged and then unable to find decent jobs for the rest of their lives just like convicted felons. It’s time to stop endorsing mass murder and theft just for a paycheck and government benefits. The US military is evil not because of the enlistees but because of the people that give them orders. I have no sympathy for any US soldier killed in Iraq sent to do the dirty work of corporations. You got what you deserved.

Mom. I included this one for personal reasons but why moms so often beyond reproach in this country boggles my mind. Fathers are not. We have never had so many single moms as we have now in this country. That in itself demonstrates a colossal lack of responsibility on women’s part. The men are equally to blame but it is the mothers that choose the fathers. The resulting disillusion and anger that women experience from being deserted after a pregnancy ends up hurting the children. From then on it becomes all about exacting revenge on the fathers usually to the detriment of the children. Mothers are not beyong reproach. When I tell people on the problems I have with my own mother they say “Man that’s yo moms yo!”. My retort is “And?”. We share DNA but once I came out of the womb blood should not  and does not ensure my blind loyalty and forgiveness for all a priori. Mothers often make mistakes and those mistakes influence the outcome of countless lives on the planet. Mothers are human. Humans are not perfect. So why are mothers beyond reproach while fathers are taking a tongue-lashing from the likes of presidential hopeful Obama? Women normally have more influence over the children than fathers do and are therefore in a position to do much more damage. Women need to admit to themselves they are making huge, selfish mistakes with their children when they choose the thug over the nice guy. This has collective consequences for the entire country and the breakdown of the American family is just one symptom.

Finding and keeping a good man

Straight women go on and on about how difficult it is to find and keep a good man. There are three problems with how women approach this task: 1) Where are they finding these men? Most find them at clubs. Wrong place. 2) Do women know how to keep a good man? In my 38 years on this planet I have only found a handful of women that give men the restricted freedom they need to keep the man interested in them. In other words women need a long leash to keep men from feeling confined and obligated and 3) What do women mean by a good man? Most think it’s a nice guy until they get one and then realize he can’t provide orgasms. To most women, a good man is a man that shows them sensitivity sometimes but also demonstrates manly selfishness sometimes. Men are completely clueless when it comes to the balancing act of being a nice guy and a bad boy at the same time. We always overdo one way or the other. The female approach is one of window shopping where they make themselves look as physically attractive as possible and then put themselves in the window on Main Street and hope the “perfect” male browses by and takes the bait. That will never work because attractive women attract all men, not just the ones women want. Walking around in a mini-skirt and high heels at the mall will is akin to throwing some raw meat into a lion’s den.

Women have made three fatal flaws in their quest for life partners or husbands or soulmates or whatever they call it this week. The first is focusing mostly, if not purely, on the physical. Men are attracted to intelligent women. I used to fantasize about Cokie Roberts. I’ve also fantasized about Janeane Garofalo and Sarah Silverman. If you have no brains, sorry, but you are not keeping a man for very long because his mind will quickly grow tired of the continuous imprinting of your physical appearance, no matter how good it is. In other words his brain gets bored. That’s how men end up cheating on someone like Halle Berry. Seems impossible but over the long term looks don’t matter to men, only in the beginning. Men and women are always going to cheat when their needs are not being met. The only reason men used to cheat more was because this is a patriarchal sexist society that views cheating or promiscuous women as immoral sluts. Men are physically stronger so we made the rules to favor us. All that garbage comes straight from the Bible and other religious nonsense. It is simply untrue but we have all been socialized to believe it from childhood.

Second, sex with same person becomes boring after a while unless both partners make a conscious and daily effort to keep it lively with variety. If your goal is to keep a mate then you better be able to give them consistent orgasms over a lifetime. That goes for men and women but people just don’t do that. Personally I think it’s impossible. People just like to screw different people. It is estimated that 90% of the sex that happens in this country is between 80% of sexually active women and 5% of men. In other words there are very few men getting regular sex, one of the main reasons this country is so screwed up. Women are falling for players, liars, gamers, married men and the like. Sounds familiar don’t it? I can attest to this because I always tell women the truth instead of what they want to hear. The results: no sex. A recent study confirmed that the majority of women prefer to hear lies over the truth because many women can only deal with reality by constructing these mental fantasies that are supported by men telling them what they want to hear: lies.

The third issue is that Americans refuse to realize that the are caught up in the Matrix. We are unknowing victims of psychological experiments by the elite to divide and control us. The elite spend billions of dollars coming up with ways to keep us frustrated, angry, divided, depressed and even physically ill. Why? Because they would rather keep us distracted than deal with a real democracy. This filters down into all aspects of life, including and especially male-female relationships. Everything in society overemphasizes sex. Men are told to pursue it all costs. Women are told to use it as a weapon. What happens? Neither works because they aren’t designed to work. They are designed to frustrate us and lead to unstable relationships that either produce no kids or screwed up kids. They will be easy prey for the elite as they grow up and the cycle continues. This is exactly what the elite want, people focusing on their personal problems instead of societal ones. I could repeat this until I was blue in the face but it wouldn’t matter. We’re way past the point of no return. Honestly I just hope I’m dead by the time the New World Order comes for us in full force. If John McCain gets elected expect it sooner rather than later.

The Typical American week

Most Americans have a forty hour a week job but we work longer hours because we fear the company firing us for not being excessively dedicated to them and their shareholders making profits, assuming they are publicly traded. We rise early, stuff our faces with something unhealthy and make the long haul through morning rush hour to arrive at a job most of us can’t stand. We work all day long without breaks except for a lunch that we either cut short and just eat at our desk because everyone is too busy to meet when we’re free because of all the meetings. At five or six o’clock we scatter back into the same traffic that brought us to this slow demise in the first place. Many of us head toward the bar where we can drink and smoke our troubles in oblivion for a few hours. Many of us head toward the daycare center that corrupt our children while we make money for the shareholders and upper management. If we’re late picking them up then we get charged a ridiculous fee.

When Friday night comes Americans really let loose then. There are of course people like myself that indulge themselves even during the week since we have the luxury of working from home. Most of us though breathe a sigh of relief that on Saturday we do not have to return to that dreadful place of employ for two whole days. Wow. Two whole days for five of my life. That’s not really fair is it? We take our laptops home with us so we can work even more on the weekend. We have to impress the boss by going beyond the call of duty or we’ll never get a raise or a promotion right? Americans are obsessed about individual achievement. We are never willing to bind our cause with that other working men and women. No, we have to do it all ourselves. We’ll show the world!!!

At least now that it’s the weekend we can really get high. We can smoke pot, do meth, take ecstasy and have one night stand sex. It’s fun right? This is what we worked for all week. On Sunday we awaken in a daze. Maybe there is some sports on tv or maybe we go to church to exorcise our demons. Either way, both roads lead to nowhere except Monday. Sunday is the prelude to Monday. We know what awaits us and it renders the day almost pointless. This is how most Americans have chosen to live their lives. Why do I say chosen? Because we have a choice and we consistently choose the wrong one. There is a better way of life outside the realm of corporatism. Corporations cannot run without humans so they need us more than we need them. We can sustain ourselves just fine without a paycheck once a week or twice a month that barely makes ends meet after rent or mortgage, car payment, insurance, credit cards, food and and utilities. This isn’t living. It’s death. It’s how the elite control the bulk of us and it’s why we think there is no better way to live. We haven’t yet tried.

No one should love America

I’m tired of people saying that despite all of its fault that they still love America. What has America ever done out of altruism? America never does anything for anyone unless it’s a quid pro quo so what exactly are all these false patriotic, ahistorical people talking about? I’m sure someone will bring up the Monroe Doctrine but we only did that to fill our own coffers as well. Someone will bring up foreign aid but it’s a fraction of what it should and we determine exactly how that money gets spent which means it will benefit corporations. Just like the abstinence education that came with the 48 billion dollar AIDS package. Everything is America comes wrapped with conditions and that usually means allowing corporations to exploit the masses so the elite can wrest what little the have from them.

Loving America goes all the way back to slavery and the genocide of the native Americans. This nation was born in white supremacy and white supremacy has sustained it to this day as it slowly crumbles under the weight of its own shame and disgrace. If America has treated the native Americans fairly and had paid reparations for descendants of slaves then we could talk about some of the good America has done expecting nothing in return but that is not our reality. Loving America is nothing but a euphemism for white nationalism. It doesn’t even make sense for nonwhite people to utter such a phrase. What it usually means is that they are glad to have escaped harsh living conditions in their country and don’t care about racism as long as they have can maintain a higher standard of living here. Most immigrants to this country know nothing about its history and don’t care. They are in it for the money. Whites get the additional benefit of white privilege from just setting foot on US soil. I don’t consider a country great when it confers unearned privilege on certains groups simply because of where they were born or the color of their skin.

What black support for Obama means

Recently on Blackcommentator.com (shout out to the man Glen Ford)  I read a piece stating that presidential hopeful and presumed Democratic nominee Barack Obama believed that race neutrality and placation of whites was key to moving past the racial strife in this country. Obama certainly does believe that. We hear nothing but talk about diversity these days, a code word for exclusion of black males. Obama does whatever whites want whenever they want it, however they want it and as long as they want it. He cannot deny that he has not addressed the plight of the community but he has spoken about it, which is meaningless without taking a moral position. Yes he has mentionned these blatant atrocities against the black community but that is not the same as addressing them. Anyone can talk about Sean Bell, Katrina, predatory lending, racial profiling and police brutality but Obama has never, and never will, come out against the government on these events unless it is politically expedient for him to do so. Black people have been suckered hook, line and sinker. The only change Obama represents is a change of skin color for the frontman of corporatism and totalitarian democracy. Watch him squirm and stammer as whites defend him against the Uhuru presence at the back of the crowd no less.

I am not surprised by Obama’s apathetic and antipathetic treatment of blacks. No one should be. It is to be expected if he is to garner the white vote and there are many more white votes than black ones in this country except in a few chocolate cities that are still overruled by the racist and outdated electoral college (where there is no proportional or national popular voting). What surprised me if how black people continued to embrace Obama despite his obvious and complete rejection of any of our causes. The problem for Obama is that anything pro-black is by the very nature of American racism, anti-white, at least in the minds of white people. Every white person in this country owes a debt to every black person because the day you set foot on US soil you are pigeonholed into one of two roles dictated by the legacy of slavery. The white role benefits whites unjustly and to the detriment of blacks and the black role which destines millions of blacks to a life of abject poverty and destitution from the financial, generational and racist accumulation of wealth by whites over centuries.

So why do blacks continue to pour support to a man that patently loathes them? The answer is not as complicated as one might think. It represents the cumulative mental effect of racism on black people over the centuries. Black people are so desperate for any hope or true leadership that Obama seems to be the Black Jesus in the Second Coming to them. Black people have never before voted against their material interests, unless you count Bill Clinton. I will admit that many black people are uninformed about Obama’s policies but those same black people have no interest in learning about them either. They want a black man in the White House period.

Malcolm X warned black people about house niggas. The problem is that when you fail to examine Obama’s imperial policies you fail to classify as exactly what he is: a house nigger. Some say that we should allow Obama to do whatever he must to get elected but at what cost? How can we stand by as he maligns black fathers and ignores injustice in the Sean Bell case just so we can have “one of us” in the White House? Obama is just what Al Sharpton called Clarence Thomas: our color but not our kind. Obama is taking advantage of black people by accepting their votes without representing them, a tactit of the Democrats for decades. The Green Party is exactly what this country and, particularly the masses of black people, need to gain influence over the political process and our lives by giving power to our votes. MLK would shake his head in pity if he saw us throwing our votes away on a man that supports the genocide of the Palestinians.

It is a true testament to the depth of mental and emotional damage white supremacy as a whole has done to blacks when blacks are ready and willing to support a man that, for all practical purposes, hates them. It is true that blacks should not espouse anyone based on race, just like whites, but it poignantly demonstrates how thorough our damage has been at the hands of this government. That damage alone should show white America how much reparations are needed to restore sanity to our community. The problem in America for blacks is that our issues are compounded with those of whites. We also have to deal with hypercapitalism, hyperindividualism, rampant consumerism and the like, all on top of non-stop racism and discrimination. Frankly it is too much to bear. Whoever said that God would never give you more than ou could bear was wrong. This is too much for black people and it shows in our nonsensical support of a corporate lackey in blackface.

Tremendous, and maybe irreversible, psychological damage has been done to the black race over the centuries. Reparations is more about repairing that than stuffing our pockets with money. It is about education and self-determination, not about bling bling or phat rides with rims. Whites are only able to view blacks through the lens of capitalism in which they thrive and poison themselves and others. They cannot possibly fathom what blacks have gone through and still go through day to day as we try to survive in a country where the status quo equals whiteness. It is anathema to them.

Obama’s day is coming. Rev. Wright’s chickens will come to roost for him as well. Whether it’s his children, his wife or a legacy of failure, Obama will fail. He has betrayed himself and an entire race of people for whom he has no empathy or sympathy. His personal ambitions have blinded him in his narrow-minded quest to make a name for himself in the history books. Whenever I listen to his deep but stammering voice I cannot help but think of it as a man trying to piece together a puzzle of pieces that do not fit together. It’s like someone mixed the pieces of an African jigsaw with an European one and now Obama cannot figure out how to put them together without jettisoning the very people that propelled him to this point. He is a traitor of the worst kind. At least Clarence Thomas admits he hates black people. Obama claims to love us and then does us nothing but harm. The Bible is a manmade book of lies but if any part of it is true it is the part where we are warned to beware of false prophets.

Middle Class Mythology

A lot of so-called experts and political pundits have written books talking about the shrinking middle class but is that really the case? Does a middle class really exist? The answer is no. There is no middle class and never has been. There is only the upper and lower class. The elite have bifurcated the lower class to quell dissent through division and that is we have in America. Let’s take a closer look.

If there were really a lower, middle and upper class then there would be roughly the same amount of all three classes. Is that what we see? Nope. We have one percent with over half of the wealth and the top five percent with ninety percent of it. We have a lower class that is divided between have somes and have nones but they are all have nots from the perspective of the elitist haves. What many people do not understand is that the American dream of having a home, a car and a good paying job does not qualify you for the upper class. The upper class is hereditary membership only. Even if you win the lottery you are not welcome because membership is purely inherited.

I don’t want to wax Marx but he was and is still correct. This is a power dynamic between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie or “faux middle class”. It is human nature to want to distance yourself from the less fortunate under capitalism. In this society, except for those few lottery winners, athletes, muscians and entertainers, people usually make small incremental gains. Many these days are actually making less than what their parents made but as long as people make gains relative to others in some way then they feel as though they are on the right track. No one making 50k/yr is going to try to make 50 million/yr overnight. Those people shoot for 80k or 100k/yr first. Their power dynamic has a local proximity to their income. They scorn those who earn less and praise those who earn slightly more.

This is the psychological operation of the elites that divide the lower class. They allow the bourgeoisie to haave just enough to emulate being one of them but always keep full membership out of reach to keep them working harder and harder for less and less. They give them power over the have-nones and have-littles with whom they share the lower class. This class warfare has always been what has kept this nation divided. For good measure, the elites throw in race, religion, homosexuality and other divisive issues that obfuscate what is truly happening. Sadly the average person is just that. Americans will not awaken until it has become far too late and there is plent of evidence to suggest that we have long ago crossed that threshhold.

What then will become of America? We will become a Second or Third World nation for sure. For globalization to work, those at the top have to come down and those at the bottom have to rise until they share the global economic fortune. This is what we are seeing currently in Mexico and with the constant influx of undocumented workers, many of whom send most of their money back home. This is all part of the North American Union through the Security and Prosperity Partnership (they always give their lies such appealing names don’t they?). The North American Union will replace what is Canada, the US and Mexico. This is just one piece of the elite’s plan for a global fascist police state. In 50 years no one will recognize this country. The dollar will soon be replaced by what will probably be called the Amero, sort of like the Euro except for America. There are simply not enough Americans willing to invest in collective remedies. Most of us have chosen hyperindividualism over collectivism. We believe in the “rat race” and that one make can make a difference. Not in this world. Not today folks. Our only weapon against the elite is the one we refuse to arm ourselves with: each other. History never lies. All empires fall.
