Fides de Habenae

With the upcoming election it get's me thinking about our government and the truth that lies within it. I look back at relatively recent history at the point where our own governments actions fit under the definition of terrorism within the "cointelpro" operation where the FBI infiltrated peaceful organizations and labeled them as "dangerous" or "a threat to society". I can see the same thing happening in modern times since 9-11 with the whole "homeland security" system, where even a 8 year old girls teddy bear getting on a plane is seen as a threat...spare me. When I look at the candidates the speak of "change", change is all well and good, but what are they going to change? A true change would be a change in the politicians who we are able to choose from, it is no longer the American people having a say in the government it is rich CEO's, lobbyist's, and special interest groups, controlling how we the citizens think are the issues and how we think about them. The American democratic system is no longer democratic. It is a authoritarian oligarchy acting as a democratic constitutional republic. I don't want to be another person mindlessly labeling the Bush administration as a the new Nazi party, but the new gestapo is the "homeland security", a result from the 9-11 tragedy. It proves that our government is not pro-active but re-active, they make us feel like a patriot by complying with the "homeland security" by staring down the man that looks a little too tan with a thick mustache at the airport, but in reality they treat us like blind people being led by leader dogs, because we are supposed to trust our government. I am not a communist nor a socialist, I believe that both economical and governmental systems impede on the progress of the human being. I believe in the self-reliance and improvement of the human spirit and body. But we have been deterred from looking at life for the improvement of ourselves and family, because we have been told to view the necessary commodities of life, not warmth, food, and education, but to view a success from a materialistic standpoint, how large of a house we own, what car we drive, the clothes we wear, how well we fit into the mass population. But think, if we were all to become self-sufficient in building our own homes to provide warmth and the development of the land around us to provide a sustainable lifestyle it would provide a more peaceful civilization. There would be no more need to fit into keep up with the masses, but to sustain a mode of living and advance the knowledge of ourselves and family, so therefore a wider scale of peace would be possible because it would eliminate the majority of greed and envy, main causes of violence, if we were able to control ourselves with proper conduct in our own area and ways of life it would limit the need for a overbearing government which would eliminate the exploitation of the human race from our home lands to other countries from being tarnished because of imperialistic powers.


So after that extensive look at American government and society, when you look at the candidates, look closer at who is really making "change" and whose doing the best for the human race and the progression of the American people, or if they're trying more to thicken the class boundries that keep our country divided.
