Inauguration - How Long Will Americans be Duped?
January 20, 2013
(Slave to slave driver: "Yoo-hoo! I
think I'm getting a blister")
"Mr. President: We have a
Boo-Boo"
America is fragmented and polarized,
Ted Anthony writes in an AP "think piece," which grasps for a
remedy.
There is no remedy until the people
realize that their country has been subverted by a satanic cult, the Illuminati,
which represents the international central banking
cartel working through Freemasonry and organized Jewry. The Illuminati are
creating a veiled world police state dedicated to Lucifer and the Jewish
Cabala. They finance "Right" and "Left" so the people will take their
eyes off them. They are the reason the country is fragmented and
demoralized.
They are responsible for 9-11
and the putative massacre of school children at Newtown. No point writing to
the President until we realize he is a
member of the Illuminati whose job is to deceive. The mass media and the
political class are controlled by the Illuminati & complicit in mass murder
and treason.
It takes two to deceive: a conman
and a willing dupe. How long will Americans play the role of dupes? The world
looks to armed Americans to help stop the advance of this
satanic scourge.

"Dear
Mr. President: One Glimpse of Your Nation" (Associated
Press)
(abridged by henrymakow.com)
Dear Mr. President:
Bryan Stone, 60, of Jacksonville
FL, has something to say about the way America used to be that he wouldn't mind
you hearing.
"Everybody knew what the rules were," he
says. "That's not true anymore."
Here, then, is one snapshot -- an
interpretation of how it feels in America right now. It's broad-brush and
subjective, as any snapshot of a nation so big and diverse must
be.
Mr. President: Americans feel deeply
uncertain about the state of the nation right now. Very few of us seem to know
what the rules are anymore -- or even where we are going. Just this past week,
an NBC News/Wall Street Journal Poll found that 57 percent of Americans polled
think the country's on the wrong track. Not as bad as October 2011, when it was
74 percent. But not very optimistic, either.
The people are fragmented, consumed,
distracted, sometimes paralyzed by choices. Look at the comments section below
any major news story posted on the web and you'll see your countrymen denouncing
each other in bulk. Is this the glorious mess of democracy or a sign of
something uglier?
Last month after Newtown, for example, we
wept in disbelief and pain for a few days and then many of us set to shouting.
Regulate guns, insisted one side, and you'll stop children from dying. Take
law-abiding citizens' guns away, insisted the other, and you place us in greater
danger and violate one of the nation's most fundamental rights.
Simple, right? Just like these easy
labels: Liberals are big-government-loving socialists who can't stop taxing and
wasting, damn them all. Conservatives are gun-loving, callous warmongers who
don't care about the common people. Pathetic.
OVERCOMING LEFT & RIGHT
"STEREOTYPES"
"When we go around perpetuating those
stereotypes, it furthers that sense that we're so polarized. When I don't think
that we really are," says one of your constituents, Liz Owens Boltz, a web
content administrator in Sylvania, Ohio. She's an independent who has voted
Republican in the past but voted for you.
This is part of the problem, Mr.
President, the contradiction of our age. We are multitudes, yet we have built a
story of clustering in two camps. You inherited deep divisions, and you say you
are trying to make things better. But, to hear your adversaries tell it, you
have made them worse. If only there were one clear answer flashing in neon above
the highway. How American that would be. But there are many answers, and none.
And we don't even seem to have the language to discuss them.
"I'm looking for a little more
thoughtfulness and discussion and compromise and a little less knee-jerk
political posturing," Boltz says. "We tend to treat our government and politics
like we treat our bodies -- we don't see things being a problem until it's an
emergency. But preventative care and long-term solutions, it's a little less
sexy. If we're all in this black/white, yes/no mindset, how do we make
progress?"
Instead, every statement by just about
anyone has 1,000 opinionated offspring, each with a globally connected digital
loudspeaker. Never before in American history have so many been able to shout
down so many others so quickly. Put geographically, it's become harder and
harder to view our experiment in democracy as a land mass; more and more, we're
a series of small islands separated by choppy waters.
"What would you really put into an
American time capsule today?" wonders John Baick, a historian at Western New
England University.
"Our time capsule would be so filled with
so many different things and so little in common with each other. There's so
little notion of a consensus. So little notion of what America is, and so little
notion of who belongs in the snapshot."
What is that like from inside 1600
Pennsylvania Avenue, to consider the sound of 300 million opinions? How do you
even begin to parse the problems? How do you take people who are accustomed to
answering true-or-false questions and lead them through the high weeds of
multiple choice?
"Those connective tissues that were there,
they're gone -- and they're not being replaced," says James Connolly, director
of the Center for Middletown Studies at Ball State University, which studies
American life in Muncie, Ind., and other towns like it in the Midwest. "The
withering of those connections," he says, "leaves people with a sense that
they're at sea, they're on their own."
