Fall and Fear in the Air
Sunday came early today, enjoying beautiful weather after an exceptionally long summer Vegas has begun to cool down…only 95F (35C) for the high and 73F or 23C for the low.
The city is preparing for the anniversary of 9/11 tomorrow…flags everywhere, messages of “We will never forget” in every newscast, paper, live-feed ticker etc. The atmosphere of Fear always paramount in our media…CNN- america’s infallible provider of Fear is only bested on occasion by Fox in a constant battle to provide a one-sided perspective to the worlds’ events…always perpetuating the cycle of violence thereby justifying secret prisons, torture, illegal confinement, internal spying and thanking an inept and horribly corrupt government for “protecting” us. Is it 2008 yet? americans had better get their heads out of the sand and start to question what they see on the almighty black box…this filtered media is scary in the land of the “free”. It was years ago when I saw “Kill your TV” as a saying on a t-shirt in Amsterdam
It’s more important to most about what’s happening with “Brad and Angelina or who will Jessica date next or the constant Paris Hilton updates that flash across the pages of People Magazine”
And to question the almighty W and the “war on terror” (?) is unamerican bordering on treason and siding with those “al keeda types”…”hell, they better git rite with God”.
September 10th…Five years later…are we any safer? I don’t think so…I think our governments’ ill-conceived and poorly executed “war on terror to let freedom reign” has made us even less safe and has emboldened a new group of haters or freedom fighters(depending on which point of view you’re approaching this issue) to take up arms against us. I mean really…the rest of the world can’t be wrong, how arrogant must one be to think that we are the only righteous and true people on the planet…when the reason for all of this is OIL and not the “spreading of democracy”. If we are going to use the “mandate to spread Freedom and Democracy” justification to a region, why don’t we go after a country that already possesses WMD’s? Why don’t we “eye-up” North Korea?… Aren’t THEY “testing” nukes right now? They sure are but there is the glaring absence of OIL…wake up people!
And I think of the young kids who have given up their lives to “protect our freedom”… I’ll definitely be thinking of them as well as those who died in the towers and in the planes that struck them.
I believe will God bless everyone and not just america.
All the best,
VP
