It has long been known that the simplest and most effective way to control a population of people is through fear.
The reason Vlad the Impaler did the gruesome acts he did was to strike fear in the local population, thereby making them easier to control. The reason most religions put the fear of eternal damnation and fire and brimstone on their parishioners is to keep them in line.
Throughout history, one will find that people in power have used fear to maintain the status quo. The times have changed, the tactics have changed, but fear is still the primary tool used to control people. In the past, priests wore strange costumes, muttered strange words, and staged elaborate ceremonies to evoke fear, and awe, in the people. The priests were the tools of those in power.
Today we have CNN, FOX News, and other media outlets acting as the stooges for the power elite. Their primary purpose is not to inform as much as it is to occupy your attention with reasons to be afraid. If you are aware, you will notice that the things to be fearful of are constantly changing...sort of a fear du jour, if you will. Twenty-five years ago it was the Russians, Libya, the ozone layer, AIDS, the possibility we are heading for a new Ice Age, and the Ayatollah, to name a few. Today they are occupying us with the threat of terrorism, global warming, Korea, Iran, the sinking economy, Ebola, ISIS, and many others.
When one thing gets so worn out that it no longer elicits the proper amount of fear, the power elite will find, or create a new one to replace it. Many people believe that 9/11, and the subsequent war on terror, was allowed to happen, if not totally orchestrated, by high-level members of our government under the control of (or in cahoots with) the global power elite! The evidence is very strong to back these claims up.
The reasons behind keeping us fearful is an old magician's trick. While we are watching or preoccupied with what one hand is doing, we fail to see what the other hand is doing. While we were so worried about terrorism and personal safety, we allowed many personal freedoms to be eradicated by the government. The government, through the NSA, can and does eavesdrop on our personal emails and phone calls. Big Brother is no longer a possibility, but a reality.
As FDR said during WWII, "The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself". We all need to wake up to this shell game they have been playing on us before "America: land of the free, and home of the brave" becomes neither one.

It's Hog Slopping Time!
Blood is in the water. Sharks from miles around are coming to join in on the feeding frenzy.
Corporate America has noticed how the American people spinelessly gave in to the bankers and sent them a 750 billion dollar bailout. I am, of course, talking about "The Big Three" auto makers: General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler. They used to be called "the Big Three American" auto makers, but they use less American workers, by percentage, than the "Japanese" auto makers. Now these fat hogs are bellying up to the trough with stories of woe and how they are facing sure bankruptcy if they are not given a bailout of their own.
The truth is, they caused their own problems with their greed and mismanagement. Now they want us, the American workers, to reward them for killing the goose that laid the golden eggs. In Hooray For Me (And F#&k You), I talked about how corporate greed would be responsible for the downfall of these pigs. Now that they are about to get their just dues, they come crying to us to save them.
Funny, but I don't see Honda, Nissan, or Mitsubishi, crying out for public assistance. What does that tell you? It tells me that Corporate America is fat, rich, greedy, and stupid. It tells me the products that they make with foreign workers is inferior to the Japanese products made by American workers. It tells me that there are not enough Americans working to be able to afford their over-priced garbage (Americans that used to work for them, until they got too greedy).
What great irony it would be if these hogs ended up in the same unemployment lines as the workers they laid off!
It will never happen. As we learned with the bankers, the rich will always protect the rich, lest it happens to them next. The free market system has always been survival-of-the-fittest, and it has flourished. Now the fat and weak are being propped up by tax dollars, and the system is wallowing.
Do not give these hogs free slop! Perhaps they will be bought out by someone that knows how to run a business, and they will hire American workers to buy their products.
