As this story below went online, terrorist grenade attacks in the city of Mumbai killed at least 80 people and wounded over two hundred others. The attackers were targeting westerners staying in luxury hotels. The point to make is that the threat from terrorism is real, not fake, and the talk of pulling out of Iraq will serve to embolden them as analysts had predicted. Obama has no choice but to renege on his promise to pull out of Iraq, and he made this clear by keeping Robert Gates as Secretary of Defense. The point being there are no shortcuts to solving the problems that America faces.

Here comes Barack Obama, the drama queen, who announced today that on “day one” his economic plan is going to save America! Wowie! I’m enthused. Can’t you just tell I’m gushing with enthusiasm?

I am perfectly convinced that the media will stop at nothing to inoculate the public as to what is going on in their lives. The media threw a war that hardly nobody wound up liking. The media covered up the their Bush follies after having gone along with the WMD story by just moving along to the next media extravanganza – the presidency itself. So the media threw us a big election and we got us a half-black dude who beat out a guy who pimped his wife to S&M bars to become the shining new star of the Democratic Party. Wow. I’m so impressed. And now I’m just quaking in my boots waiting for Inauguration Day so that I can feel the effect of Barack Obama’s master plan for the economy.

Man, I can tell everybody one thing for sure. The media will continue to jerk us all around until we’re blue in the face and will stop at nothing too dramatic to razzle dazzle a country which by and large is swimming in debt up to its eyeballs and is trying everything it can to make people wake up and start making the economy better. The politicians today are only a reflection of the people, and Americans would rather live in a fantasy than realize what is happening to them and their lives.

Basically, average citizens are being hung out to dry by the media. The media learned how to produce the biggest, the best, the most spectacular stories out of thin air. They do it believable and they make lots of money doing it. They sell products and services, and they have even altered the tastes and habits of people to fit the products and services they want to sell to us whether we want them or not. (Do I hear a “global warming” in the house?)

And now while the economy is going down the toilet and people are sick and tired of listening to the same old promises about the new and improved presidency de jour, we are being told to wait breathlessly for Inauguration Day, because the very next day Obama is going to wave a magic wand and everything is going to get better all of a sudden. Gosh, I wouldn’t want to be that guy even for the inside story of all the skeletons in John Edwards’ closet.

Think about it, can anybody in their right mind believe this promise that on “day one”  Obama is going to implement a plan to save the American economy? Mind you, this is coming from the same guy which practically everyone can see now was nothing more than a media creation himself. I want to know who is putting out all this garbage, and frankly I’m amazed that more Americans aren’t raising hell about the fact that Obama’s actions after the election are basically a 180 degree turn away from practically everything he campaigned on. From reneging on rolling back the tax cuts to the wealthy to tackling once and forever the global warming question, he has had to backtrack and say that he might reconsider moving forward on these.

Well hell yeah he better look at these issues he campaigned on again. Now it is going to be under Obama’s watch whether General Motors goes belly up. Obama finds himself fighting for the very things that he said he was going to change. GM has lost its market share because it was building SUVs while Japan was building hybrids. It doesn’t take a genius to know who won that race to the bottom line when gas prices rose to four bucks a gallon. Remember that? Oh my, another inconvenient truth.  Now Obama has to save the very one’s whose lack of interest in the future, i.e., change, caused them to go begging to Obama for money to help “save” them.

And where is Al Gore and Warren Buffet these days? How come you don’t hear from them any more? And Oprah sure is laying low herself, too. Interesting. Where have all these rich fuckers gone who put Obama in our midst and made us sit here and listen to these vacant promises? Now I know why they kept talking about hope. It was all about hoping, meaning when one is always hopeful then apparently they aren’t very satisfied.

Television ratings have soared to an all time high according to media reports. Something like five hours per day is what the average American now watches on television. Imagine all the garbage and refuse one can absorb in five full hours. No wonder we have us an Obama for president. We’re all just sitting on the couch hoping for change.

The joke is on everyone who sits on their ass and does nothing but talks a big game. By their own laziness and ineptitude people have by and large literally become sponges for the great waterfall of power that exists among the mighty and the few of the corporate media elite. They have a plan for those who are miserable. They will sell you happiness in a box. Haven’t you heard about this? Why, it’s absolutely fascinating. It’s called the i-Bama. You plug it into any computer and download your favorite Obama dramas. Play them back any time and email them to your friends. Makes a great holiday stocking stuffer. It’s only $9.95 from Ronco.

Frankly, a lot of us in America like myself are getting sick and tired of this overly dramatic horse manure that these hooligans in Washington and New York have cooked up for us. In a way I can understand why Sarah Palin had a certain kind of cult following out there. To many her affiliation with the Alaskan separatist movement struck a chord. Maybe the Russians are right in their prediction that America stands a strong chance of breaking up in the near future. At the rate things are going this might well be true.

Unless people begin to cherish education and awareness and self-development and individualism instead of this dependency victim nonsense then nothing good is going to come out any movement that is undertaken in this country. The government is not people’s savior, and politicians can’t fix the world. They will beat their brains out to tell everyone that they can make it all better, but the truth is simply that they cannot.

Each person has to change in order for there to be change. Change does not occur from without but rather from within each individual. This is a lifetime of work to undergo true change. We are literally smitted by God at birth and made to forget about the magic of paradise we knew before the material world got a hold of us. Striving for survival often blinds men to their true purpose here on earth, which is to find peace. It does exists, and it can be found. But for people to join in unity in their self-pity rather than to try to find peace in their lives is inexcusable, especially when it becomes fashionable on a national level in which to do so.

Maybe that is the message of Obama after all, which is that immediately after having been elected on the platform of change he then basically handed over the White House to an administration that existed sixteen years ago. It isn’t so much that he doesn’t know what he is doing that he had to hire people who did which is probably at stake here. Perhaps this is simply a case of Obama teaching us what he is learning himself, that it is possible to change.

People have to have basic means of survival in order for their minds to grow and thereby increase their chances of becoming wise and adding to the strength and character of their communities and the nation as a whole. Nations survive only when their populations are well fed, well educated, and well respected. Right now America has such a bad complex about their standard of living, aka the economy, that they are missing the whole point of this magnificent experience. It is possible to drop the lifestyle to which one has become accustomed and lift onself out of the world of images and tricks. And in doing so such an individual stands a good chance of finding out things that are significant, powerful, real and virtuous about this world in which we live. In fact, ones chances of finding happiness and joy by walking away from the mainstream media are far better than by doing nothing but staring at their ridiculous nonsense all day long. And that includes by the way the Inauguration. I’d rather take a January dip in the bay instead.
