Greetings good citizen…
I’m sure many of you are ‘anticipating’ how I will address the most recent wave of violence erupting across our crumbling civilization...
And I’ll repeat what I’ve been screaming about all along…although you’ll now see certain ‘between the lines’ and ‘assumed’ universals (things everybody knows but few acknowledge) brought to the fore.
First let’s look at the ‘culture of violence’ we are expected to shrug off like it doesn’t effect us.
How many of you are connecting yesterday’s gunning down of Connecticut school children with drones killing civilians halfway around the planet (who are ‘posthumously’ labeled ‘terrorists’ by the corporate owned media to justify this ‘murder’?)
But a little closer to home we need look no further than the prevalence of ‘first person shooter’ video games that kids like Mr. Lanza grew up playing.
What doe this do to a child’s Id?
Sure as hell ‘desensitizes’ them to the idea of shooting someone to death…doesn’t it.
And what was one of the headlines on my homepage news feed this morning? How violent video games are the ‘top seller’ at retailers this Christmas.
How much of this is caused by Halo, Call of Duty or Assassin’s creed?
More succinctly, what drove this anti-social loner to first KILL HIS OWN MOTHER and THEN take up arms and drive down to the local elementary school (as opposed to a shopping mall) and open fire?
Do you think we should start mandatory testing (for psychopathy) now or should we wait until a few more thousand are murdered?
Will the next psycho cut to the chase and blow the whole school up?
Hell, we’ve already let the ‘high functioning’ psychopaths destroy the global economy so what’s the senseless murder of a few dozen innocents matter?
When there’s a ‘free for all’ out in the streets it will be too late. The bonds that prevent us from killing one another on sight are wearing perilously thin.
How many times do I need to repeat this before SOMETHING (like TESTING) is done?
Or would we discover that drawing our children from the bottom of a test tube (another crisis that the media purposefully ignores) is adding to what Mother Nature might naturally screen out? (Like the sudden surge in nut allergies and the insane jump in asthma rates?)
But no, we couldn’t possible be talking about the same thing…except we are now coming into the ‘maturation’ of the first generation of ‘test tube’ babies.
And with it nobody wants to connect the alarming rise in the rates of ADD and other ‘socialization’ problems that have been ignored…because the source of every one of these afflictions is…rabid capitalism (profits before people!)
Why are females ‘waiting’ so long to start families? Because they want to establish their careers first…so they go to school and work during their prime childbearing years, leaving most of them barren by the time they make their heap (or say yes to the guy who has been chasing them since they were in High School.)
No money, no family!
What do you suppose our young shooter saw that the fucking asshole corporate owned media is doing its damnedest to ignore?
He saw a system that didn’t have a place for him and determined that no matter how he sliced it, he had nothing to lose!
He killed his mother for bringing him here in the first place and he killed those kids as a ‘favor’ to them. While he’s not here to ask I would bet he believed he was doing them a ‘kindness’ (albeit a left-handed one.)
Which also shines a spotlight on just what kind of monsters we’re dealing with here (and I mean that figuratively because we are factually doing nothing about this.)
So, I have pissed off my female readers and all of the parents in my audience…but like I have said repeatedly, I’m not here to be ‘popular’, nor is it my purpose to tell you what to think.
My ‘mission’ is to provide you with things to think about by offering up a different perspective than the corporate owned media serves up.
Yes, they lie to you religiously and you don’t hate them…(you may catch yourself muttering ‘bullshit’ under your breath a lot but you don’t begrudge them doing you the disservice of lying to you in order to protect the oligarchs.)
Yup, nobody questions that the stacked deck has become obvious just as nobody questions the futility of living from lottery to lottery, hoping you can set yourself free from the debt trap you were born into.
I’ll ask (rhetorically) if our shooter was ‘wrong’ in his assessment of the future that led him to act so…
Rationality is a very fragile thing, what seems senseless to you may appear perfectly logical to someone else.
If we back up a few steps, the society that bred this killer is NOT blameless…
I say the ‘root’ of this disease lies in a predatory social structure that leaves the individual on their own to deal with problems that shouldn’t exist in the first place.
We would be very lucky indeed if the Mayans were right and this predatory mess we are snared in ‘died’ on 12/21/12…
So what do you say good citizen, are you feeling lucky?
Thanks for letting me inside your head,
