America - I'm Lovin' It!

Welcome to America.... Can I take Your Order?

As this week begins, I am reminded again that the events and results from the previous year are trying to push themselves into this one. We are just short of that time when we permanently scar the buttocks of the nation with an asterisk and a question mark. When we hand over the government to those who wish to erode it away. Globalism made to order for a few, the people still a commodity being traded away in the most covert and overt of manners.

I have written about the outright antagonism that the Russians have engaged in, the voting and manipulation of the American psyche. Breaking in to C-Span, dogging our cyber security and basically just laughing at us, we apparently are not going to do anything. There are others involved in this as well including our pals the Israelis, if there was a closer tie to another Super Power in this world we would be closer to China, but the Russians are working on them as well, so here we are. The Bolsheviks already wreaking havoc on an EU vote, and Brexit.

First of all, we will give them a nice big loan because they don't have very much money left. That, or we will lift our sanctions to enable them to enrich themselves from our markets. They will continue to play the mafia style cowboy with materialism and actions, and instead of a Nation State going out slowly over its own mistakes. We will prop up our antagonists and even make them out to be a bunch of super great guys, the greatest. If folks don't notice, which as a country we take the cake, it will all be taken away in a matter of a few years and not decades. Our buddies are set to corner the Natural Gas market for most of Europe for starters, deciding prices on that is better than having a butt-load of oil to have to deal with. The market would be theirs and theirs alone to Baron over, a hoard of money to compare with the Saudis soon available. With manufacturing to their direct South, and rare Earth metals and technology within easy grasp, their economy can explode with the help of China, India and their new found friends in the Middle East. The sump pump kicked into high during a tsunami.

As I said though we don't pay attention to the rest of the players, confident that we are just too good to fall, too big to fail...
The current landscape of tantrums is reaching epidemic proportions. Self-righteousness and greed on full display, hammering away at the hands of time thinking it will slow them down or stop them somehow. Blame is the game in this imaginary landscape, and ideals unmet become all too personal with the blowing of Pavlov's whistle. If you do not know the story of Pavlov's Dogs, it is sadly and appropriately suited to todays human climate, at least here where I live. In other words, I have never seen a bigger bunch of uneducated, ill-informed, short sighted fools in all my life. If even any of this comes to fruition that scar on the buttocks get's deeper. Way too much overthinking, this world business is easy, how to get it done is the hard part, so when we go and change things with gifts even, they become obvious to this layman.

America has given away the keys to the house and took up residence in an apartment. Maybe it just took a Chef to see the plain and hard truth. We have been turning into the Service Industry for the world for many years now and it will just continue. We are climbing into that lack of substance and rule so much that we may as well be Grand Central Station for the rest of this mass we live on. We are not setting any examples that are notable except the ones that describe our fall from grace, our rest on our laurels bravado, our participation awards. Just showing up every now and then on this world stage is not going to get the job done that we thought it did, our protests go unto deaf ears and blind eyes, and are being made more illegal every day. The cost of freedom... I doubt many alive really know what it took to get here in all honesty. A house of cards and mortar over two centuries thick.

We are the fast food industry, and the get it now industry. We are everything at once and losing that ability to be anything to a one, a person, a part of the fabric, a part of something bigger. Dreams have been usurped and replaced with only materialistic determination, forgetting probably the oldest adage that you can't take it with you. I wonder if people had to give up everything they had when they died, what that would mean to how we learn about life, about the world, about ideals? It is a curious thing this journey that our species is on, it seems like we have settled for the antiquated model while undermining any chance of a success with a new one. I wonder how some of the folks here who are hell bent against other races will like being under their employ. When our markets change and we become the third world vacation spot for the rest of the world, I wonder how those good ol patriots are going to enjoy waiting hand and foot on those very folks. Shining shoes and being yelled at for not speaking the language of their guests. Their homes sold to foreigners so that they could afford to move into the boxes stacked on end while those same foreigners look down their noses at the smelly urchins.
Which goes to show that having everything is great and all until other people can afford it better and start buying up your share of things. Because that is what this world is running on, who can get it and hang onto it, or sell it. Brand it, bag it, and price tag it, all of it, that's the beck and call we are answering. For a hungry world outside yet another commodity on the biggest scale, and the resentments of a once free people. Welcome to America - Can I take your order?
