Talking Heads

9 07 2008

Ok, so all of the sudden, as I am perusing the news channels on the television, I happen upon good ol’ CNN, and Anderson Cooper 360.

The first session is about McCain’s campaign manager saying that another terrorist attack on the United States would actually improve his chances of becoming our next President.

Hmmm…Say, isn’t that similar to what I had recently accused the government of saying? About what they claim was another terrorist attack, back on September 11th, 2001? That it was government record that high-ranking officials penned the not-so-novel idea that we needed terrorist attacks in order to further the agendas of a deceitful few?

Ok, so here come the talking heads. One is for McCain and the Republicans. She says that she spoke to McCain’s campaign in order to give them a chance to clarify the statement and of course they obliged. They supposedly told her that the statement was misspoken and was actually alluding to the narrative of terrorism, which, the McCain campaign claims, is a subject that McCain is strong in and the debate of terrorism would greatly help his chances.

Now here comes the Democrat talking head. He claims that the statement (rightfully so) was meant exactly as it was uttered. However, his argument then becomes that this is a peculiarly Republican issue that can be dealt with swiftly by electing Barak Obama.

Does no one else see the insincere, almost “manufactured”, I’d say, presentation of a rather extraordinary statement made by a high-ranking employee of a presidential nominee? A person who is an EMPLOYEE of the people of the United States? One that supposedly speaks for us? (I of course, having given no permission ever, to any politician to unilaterally speak for me.)

This was supposed to fool us into thinking an intelligent debate, with transparency and earnestness, was being conducted to the highest of intellectual standards. The frowns were often and the looks were hard. But when one simply broke down what they were actually saying, it became quickly apparent that this was nothing more than a slick, “made-for-TV” propaganda piece which lacked even a rudimentary subtlety that could fool anyone who actually listened  to this farce for more than a couple of moments.

Now, here comes talking head issue 2. This one is in reference to the story about those school girls that all made a pact together to get pregnant. I’m sure most people have heard of this by now. Well, the network poses the question that is supposed to be debated, as this:

Had the school been freely distributing contraceptives, would this atrocity have occurred?

Now, on the surface, this one is a little more advanced in it’s presentation of a skewed point of view. One that is, even still, so hard to defense that it must literally be shoved down another person’s throat so fast that they won’t have time to chew on it, thus getting a cursory approval from their seared consciences. But it too, when looked at carefully and thought about critically, loses all credibility as the light of understanding shines it’s undeniable glare.

Sometimes, I wish I could go on those shows, and be allowed to respond. For instance, I’d love to let the heads talk about the pregnant girls and then respond incredibly,

“So your point is that the mere absence of the contraceptives at the school was more than enough of a valid reason to compel these girls to make the conscious decision to get pregnant? ARE YOU SERIOUS? That’s your premise?”

Of course, no one dared have the guts to bring that up. It all centered around simply the yes/no choice of whether the school handing out condoms would prevent kids from deciding to have sex. Yeah. Ok.

I’m so tired of these fools. Problem is, it takes mental discipline that we here in America have lacked and which has atrophied since the days we actually had to study hard to get a good grade, back in junior high or high school. And that makes people uncomfortable.

A lifetime of self-conscious fear and denial has caused most Americans today to choose that the simple desire to be left alone trumps any moral or civic responsibility to learn what’s really going on in our own country.

IT’S TIME TO WAKE UP.

Another good one is how the inflation of oil is because of the oil companies and prospecting. Like at least 70% of the increase in the last decade isn’t the continuing devaluation of the dollar. Like foreign countries aren’t dumping the dollar as their reserve currency faster that ever before.

WAKE UP.

Stop watching Oprah and American Idol and start doing your own research on what is really happening to this world. Ask the Supreme GOD of all YHVH, to give you wisdom and discernment, and the truth shall make you free. I believe, in the name of Yeshua Messiah, that good men cannot simply turn away from what is happening around them. Whether such men perceive that this is part of the endgame and unavoidable should be of no consequence to, nor in the least bit hindering of, the decision to act.
