As I was lying in bed this morning between salvo passes of military jet aircraft practicing their warcraft, I constructed a handful of statements which address our current "Conditions of America." We as a nation are befuddled by recurring mass shootings, but we should not be. There are simple answers to these problems. It is just our attention has been diverted to more pressing issues, such as the longevity of our democracy. Nihilism has become a useful tool for the Republican far right, but it is a smoke screen. Two specific things in our nation's recent past have propagated mass shootings. The first is violent video games. Like ADD this topic no longer is in vogue with the media. Neither have decreased in importance or severity, but purposely they are being overlooked. The effects of each are a crucial part of the nihilistic construct. Crazy, over-stimulated, under-rested people, and violent coercive video games which emerged in mainstream America many years ago. We just don't talk about them anymore. Given an unbalanced teen with little parental support or supervision and continual, diligent, addictive video gaming based upon murderous warlike behaviors, make guns available to them and surprisingly (or unsurprisingly) you have mass shootings. There should be no enigma. With the far right insistence upon the availability of assault weapons to all, it should be of no surprise what is happening. In the nihilist scheme of things, it is desired. When kids are killing kids there is room for conspiracy at all levels. With the disdain and rejection of knowledge, logic, and Christianity aliens could be blamed for such occurrences. If Camelot were reexamined and the hierarchy of intelligence were deemed legitimate, most of America's current problems could be explained. There are no conspiracies. Conspiracies only are smoke screens meant to divert attention away from reality. The reality is man is burning the planet, and the drought and heat wave in the western half of the nation is a byproduct of corporate America and the United States military. That would be the "Military Industrial Complex." The reason why the youth of America are picking up guns and killing is because they are mentally challenged and because this behavior has been programed from hours of propagandist Operant Conditioning. Not that long ago these violent video games were of grave concern to parents. Now no longer of are they spoken. Children are being conditioned to kill in a convenient and entertaining ruse. When this behavior is transferred into reality, and they are not lucid enough to know the difference, the result is a mass shooting. Confronting any of these issues, social issues, undermines the far right Nihilist ruse and their sole impetus of collecting as much money as possible. Social issues are no concern. The more chaotic life in America becomes, the easier it is to suggest aliens are warming the planet. Social media is a vital part of the Operant Conditioning, and in a few short years we have been reduced to seeking "likes" and "shares" on an internet platform that is not much different in origin than "America Online." It has been created before, and Zuckerberg simply used the sentimentality of seeing your high school friends as a method to manipulate your heart and purse strings. We continue to patron such a platform, and we shouldn't. Does Mark Zuckerberg deserve to rise to one of the richest men in the world from such a mundane and tepid interface? Corporate America at large including the Postmaster General are vying for control of the parcels, how to get a box from one place to another the quickest. If aliens were watching us, they would laugh in disgust. They would ask themselves were Americans are not drinking and fucking. It is because this human behavior, the core behavior of the animal kingdom, procreating, has been devalued in favor of aberration. The strategy to set Americans at war with each other in spite of what God has given us to survive, has been the plan. It is working, and we are too stupid and pig-headed to understand.
