The Unfit. You've been tricked and deceived cause you're going to take the fall for their mistakes. I can't guarantee anything and either can the politicians that run this country. I can't trick you into believing all you'll ever need is to keep consuming. Or that selling weapons around the world will make you safe. That winning is everything. But we aren't winning anything. Look around. Is contentment and well being in your life? The politicians demand you consume more so why should the people fight a second civil war against a corrupt system when there's so much prosperity?
Our Sorrow. Maybe I've got it all wrong. Maybe we are a healthy society. Our politicians keep telling us everything will be all right. Some are saying this country is headed for a second civil war. There can never be peace when we have children killing other children in schools. Maybe we should have accepted our mistakes, that we could never remove our debt by consuming more. We left behind our connection to the natural world for a pocket full of worthless profits. We thought we could own this land, but you never own anything you just borrow it for a while. We thought we could control time and money. Our sorrows and failures.
False Representation. America maintains it has moral superiority. But our future isn't bright when we have children killing other children in schools. It's called selling something by false representation. That can make people thinking they're somebody they aren't. We overlook that some people spend their entire lives working at minimum paying jobs. Would you call that slave labor? We actually have high ranking leaders in our federal government that are straight up mentally ill. Some say if Russia invades Ukraine, we should use nuclear bombs.
MUSIC Franz Waxman, Berkhard Dallwitz
Distribution of Information. The unknown can be solved with science but we have a lot to fear from science. Fukushima's nuclear meltdown into the Pacific ocean could last for decades. If Covid-19 was manufactured by science then we have a lot to fear but our politicians say everything will be all right. Powerful corporations have taken control of the distribution of information using it to manipulated the people to vote for candidates they want in government. America isn't a healthy country when there are children shooting other children in schools.
Military Coup. We didn't need to rule the world, we just needed to the stop the mayhem in our own backyard. But one time or another it will come to an end. In our not to distant future this country will feel a shock never before felt and our military will take over the running of this country. Repayment of our government's debt won't happen, resulting in world wide bankruptcies. Failed attempts to stop inflation will bring about a collapse of the government bringing our military to suspend the Constitution.
Four Star Generals. Our military has announced it's considering arming our F-35 fighter jets with nuclear bombs. This makes me think the people involved with the Jan 6th protest went to the wrong building, they should have crossed the Potomac and made their way into the Pentagon looking for Generals. It's difficult knowing how our military leaders get to be four star Generals. Our politicians tell our military leaders what they want done. However our military may not be willing to fight another war. They may actually lead our next insurrection on the Capitol building with a military Junta.
Nuclear Submarine Connecticut. We aren't safer. We're becoming more dangerous. The USS Connecticut may have come close to sinking in the South China Sea. We've built up our military making high ranking officers wealthy working in our military industries producing weapons and it hasn't made us safer. We have the largest defense budget in the world and it's been used to protect our policy of the Petro-Dollar. We've controlled the price of oil for fifty years and we've been a debtor country for fifty years. No we aren't safer.
Financial Receivership. I'm in favor of letting people do what they want as long as it doesn't interfere with others. Our government tells us things that are untrue but they do it so often the untruth eventually sounds true. For fifty years our Consumerist Economy incentivized us to want more. And our leaders said getting more will make you feel better. That was the untruth. Our government prints new money without restraints and they call it a resource to prosperity. But prosperity has never been about how much stuff you can accumulate.
MUSIC Mario Beltrani, Alan Silvestri, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross
Irretrievable Indebtedness. Journalists have worked to protect our politicians. They're complicit in what politicians have done producing the largest debt in American history. A debt that will never be paid back. And it's resulted in the American people distrusting their government. Distrust turning to anger and sabotage. It's coming because our government has produced a climate of irretrievable indebtedness and it's made us more dangerous. Our future is a certainty because we're a debtor country, our future guaranteed. The calamity that is our lives before our government's default.
Unenforceable Mandates. It's always difficult to know where we are even when our own government is watching and listening to us. Our lives are more complex and that makes us more vulnerable. Complexity makes us weaker. Simplicity makes us stronger. Politicians know how to be complex by confusing the American people. They say they're working for us. But you can't over reach if you have power. You can't mandate something you can't enforce and that's when people start saying "The emperor has no cloths". Things start getting dangerous when GROUP/THINK can't get what they want.
