Information overload.

We live in a world of instant information. We all remember as that little old lady or man that would sit in their chair listening to the police/fire scanner to know 'what's going on'. We live in a world no different than that now only that information is streamed instantly to your laptop, tablet or smart phone. In this day of instant information we've all become that little old lady or man listening for something bad to happen, with one glaring exception: We get semi filtered information and information that THEY deem important.

Americans getting killed in a foreign land..silence. Miley Cyrus grinding her ass on Robin Thicke...every major news outlet. ObamaCare and it's effects on a majority of Americans...relative silence or tidbits of information that shines ObamaCare in a positive light. The Alan Hernandez investigation...EVERYWHERE. What the hell people? Is Miley's display of sexuality or Hernandez's gangsta dealings really that important? Our government is trying to fundamentally trying to change the way we Americans try to obtain the 'American Dream'. Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness is turning into: Life, if your healthy you'll be charged with taking care of the people that aren't (or that fake it well enough to be added to the list).  Liberty, that the government feels is truly necessary and if that liberty threatens how the government 'governs' us, then it will be subject to taxes, fees, and possibly jail time. This will allow the government to pick who those liberties pertain to (also controls the dissemination of information). The Pursuit of Happiness, as long as you do as the government tells you, then happiness will be yours (or at least their version of happiness)!

A new world order, that's what they strive for. A world without famine or war, where everyone is taken care of. No more haves and have nots, a cohesive collective of individuals without individuality. Sounds freakin' perfect doesn't it? This idea (or ideal depending on your views) is neither 'new' nor 'order'. This has all been done before and failed. There will always be a 'ruling class' that will be in charge and they will feel they deserve more than the normal collective. That's where the system falls apart. It's readily apparent by the number of rich leaders (and I use that term loosely, they wouldn't make a pimple on a real leader's ass) in our government. They are the 'beautiful people' that think they make our country a better place for all.

Watching the news is like a screening of 'Wag the Dog'. I could write the next move by this administration just by following the outline of that movie. Is anyone surprised that the chemical attacks in Syria were confirmed by an 'intercepted phone call'? The problem we are currently having now is that this administration has found a way to control what information we get. Oh sure, there's avenues of information that are 'unfriendly' to the administration that is causing issues like Fox, Drudge and Glenn Beck's The Blaze but they make all attempts to discredit those by saturating the air waves with bullshit. There's always the real information available to the general public through web searches and even government websites, but no one wants to do their own friggin' home work. The people that want this program to be relevant are spoon feeding us information to cement it's relevancy! Every idiotic move is choreographed to explain away their aggressive constitutional indiscretions. I don't need my government to tell me they need to listen in on my phone calls to be safe. I don't want the government to tell me they'll send a cop to my house in the event of an intruder that means to do myself or my family harm. I don't need the government to tell me where my money will 'do the most good'. I intend to speak out against this 'future' that they have laid out for us.

That's my two cents, spend 'em or put 'em in the dish for the next person.
