Manmade Governmental Violence

 
            It truly is a complicated America in which we live.  There is no question there is violence around us.  In particular dwelling in a military community is a very different experience than say living in a college town.  When first experiencing a college town it is quite the surprise.  Small cafes, nightclubs, and shops are prevalent catering to the students.  There is art, intellect, and camaraderie.  Traditionally in decades past there was a similar brotherhood amongst service men and women.  American government used patriotism to create this mainstream.  Despite the inescapable responsibilities of impending war, military personal shared a hearty kinship.  Today American government pays soldiers more money to justify their premature deaths in the Middle East.  It is a different animal.  The dynamic of living in a military community drastically has changed as has America.  The mainstream has been lost, and as in real life many of the tenants of culture have been replaced with sheer denial.  Why has this occurred?  If one peruses the American landscape things have changed.  We no longer are a holistic, natural, spiritual country.  Instead we have been turned away from the very elements that attracted immigrants to America in the first place.  Conspicuously our industrial base has shrunk, our factories have closed or moved, and again with the emergence of skyscrapers in Manhattan we as Americans are looking up to see who is controlling the purse strings.  Who are these people?  Before that question should be answered it is more important to examine social issues that affect the American people.  We have heard enough about Wall Street, Washington, and the Middle East.  How about what’s happening with Americans?  Firstly why are mass shooting increasing?  There must be a concrete reason why citizens are committing mass murder.  What could be the stimulus motivating young people to arm themselves as commandoes and blindly murder dozens of innocent school children?  Could it be President Obama’s newly expanded and reinforced Paramilitary?  We all ready have seen the negative repercussions of hiring private security firms to try to implement policies overseas.  Blackwater among others have proven they like European governments do not possess the ethical or moral qualifications necessary to implement a Christian or Islamic doctrine.  Relying upon a relatively new, covert, and inexperienced nonmilitary body to fight terrorism is a stretch.  With military spending solely having created America’s trillion dollars plus deficit, why is the President expanding this particular agency?  We all ready have the Central Intelligence Agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation both laden with acts of inappropriate sexual misconduct.  Is the President attempting to sidestep the nation’s tradition governmental infrastructure and implement his own personal agenda unbeknownst to the American people.  With his forthright unwillingness to divulge more pertinent information on his drone policy, it is becoming clear that something is happening with the President that must be discovered.  While the elimination of Osama Bin Laden was monumental as was the downfall of Moammar Gadhafi’s political regime, wartime executive powers cannot and should not define the role of America’s president.  He like everyone else on this planet must adhere to and abide by the same set of rules for man.  Muslim extremists also wanted to sidestep this human responsibility choosing to rape, murder, and pillage women rather than learning to deal with them as people.  Was it easier to wait for virgins in heaven than to do what every other man on earth must do?  These shortcuts are a sign of the weak, because it means one is not willing to take the time to deal with humanity.  There can be no shortcuts spiritually, politically, or economically.  President Obama must operate in the traditional construct of the American Presidency and not abuse war time granted executive powers.  All ready we have seen the most destructive and unconstitutional legislation created in America’s history degrade the fundamental and founding principals of the American Republic.  Daily and with complete deliberation  government and its protective wing of media continue to do this.  Rarely do you hear President Obama speak of past presidents and their policies showing his knowledge of the history of America.  How can one aspire to be a truly great president with no evident role models?  The term anti-trust jumps to mind.  With the systematic rebuilding of America’s dangerous trusts, loopholes have been created that severely undermine the American economy.  If the most powerful and affluent corporations in America earning a majority of their revenue via American commerce, how is it that income is immune from the American income tax?  How can poor Americans inexplicably be expected to pay down a national debt so large it usurps the GDP of many nations?  It is absurd, and the idea that General Electric is exempt from its responsibility to subsidize the American government visibly and with oversight is an atrocity.   We already know the covert money, the money that is off the table and out of sight of the American people is what is driving policy.  It always has.  These things we know.  What we don’t know is why innocent people are being murdered.  Sigmund Freud if he were alive could be of service.  Yes, we are getting the shaft but not just economically.  Our environment, once an inviting and nurturing place for human existence and growth has become polluted with the tenants of war.  As living in a military town with little to no patriotic sentiment, the construction and implementation of violence can be overwhelming.  When one is exposed to on a daily basis the tenants of war, how is one not to realize these mechanisms easily could turn against us?  With one evil dictator and a subversive, unproductive, and recalcitrant Congress it is plausible to the American people we should be worried.  After all the idea of a drone raining down on you incomprehensibly at a street corner in mainstream America is of concern.  It should be.  I listen to a drone above my head daily that I wonder what its mission is.  Is it to protect?  Is it to serve?  How are we to know when our President will not be forthcoming with his covert terror-fighting force.  If these policies are going to seep to American soil we as a populace have the right to understand new procedures.  For those with rational minds still the job of remaining optimistic is daunting.  With the recent passing of 2012, still we are not sure of the lineage of events outlined in the Book of Revelations.  How many of the foreshadowing occurrences have passed?  Keeping the American people in good spirits is in no way the intent of our current federal government.  They have not proven it.  We must assume the American people have been put out to pasture to feast on unhealthy fast food.  We are not literate enough.  We are not savvy enough to understand.  We do not care.  When mass shootings continue to emerge, a look must be taken into their causes.  Being at war does not set a good example for young people.  Warmongering is a trite, cheap, and ineffective long term investment in the world’s economy.  Art would be a better choice.  The heating of our planet with invisible electromagnetic waves of all frequencies is not prudent.  In addition they have been proven unequivocally to cause cancer in the human body.  Still mass wireless telecommunications become a major component of our economy.  When people resort to violence, usually it is an act of impatience.  One has been taxed to the limit, and they decide the current state of affairs is not worth tolerating.  They would rather die, and for some reason decide to take others with them.  If we want the violence to stop, then policy changes in our governmental system need to occur.  A whole new philosophy of existence must be entertained, contemplated, and implemented.  Maybe it is by God only this process is possible.  Let’s hope the puny existence of man will endure a few more years.
