Whatto! Pepys...
To the casual observer a Nation like the United States would appear to be capable of any amount of violent action against any other country in the world, without suffering any kind of backlash.
Politicians are, as usual, trying to appear hard on 'Crimes' commited by a Dictator they may wish to dethrone and the ideal people to carry out the Government's bidding are, of course, those from the poor and working classes who sign up for a career in the Armed Forces to defend their flag against an enemy they do not know and will only get to know through invasion and destruction.
When there are no longer enough people available to send to the front lines there's always the good old Drones to fall back on. President Obama recently criticised the ongoing violence in Ferguson whilst continuing to fire missiles from drones in Pakistan killing innocent men, women and children in the process.
As a result there are now a large number of people in the world who feel rather aggrieved by the apparently unchecked actions of the US and public opinion worldwide is slowly turning against those very Armed Forces that carry out their Government's bidding so unquestionably.
Meanwhile, within the US itself, the land of the free - and the structure of Democracy that is being so charitably forced upon the rest of the world - is showing sign of subsidence with huge cracks appearing everyday in it's corrupted infastructure.
When one sees the American public being subjected to increasing homelessness, massive suicide rates amongst veterans, GMO foodstuffs and chaos surrounding any kind of affordable healthcare - to mention a few - one cannot help but wonder exactly whose interests the Government have in mind.
Ferguson is perhaps a perfect example of where the inequalities within America show themselves loud and proud. And the public must be increasingly concerned when 'their' Police officers turn out onto 'their' streets in armoured vehicles meant for 'War Zones' like Afghanistan armed with sniper rifles meant for the same calibre of enemy. Surely the voice of the people isn't being silenced by some kind of neo-fascism? The right to free speech (we continually hear) has been written into your Declaration of Independence has it not?
If people are not able to voice their concerns in safety frustration will soon follow.
The Media continue to try to divert people's attention from what is going on with their corporately biased news reports and mindless pap like 'X Factory' and 'Whoever has talent' - specifically designed to amuse and to stop people from seeking the truth out for themselves.
"Everything's fine here in Corporate America!" (the Banksters would have you believe) but have you had a look at the running total of your Government deficit recently?
wtf?
Who knows? Maybe Ferguson is a sign of something? An American Spring? A contrived conflict which will lead nicely to Marshall Law and dramatic gun controls? A sign of the long running inequality that still hasn't been addressed within US society? A convenient distraction towards the black people as 'trouble makers' whilst Bankers and corrupt Politicians slip - unnoticed - out of the back door with their loot?
That is why I like to highlight the voices of people who are trying to get their voices heard above the media frenzy. People like Molly Crabtree....
