In a nearly eternal question that goes back into the mists of history, and you just know this question has been asked repeatedly so attribution is near impossible, we have to wonder, "if not us, who...and if not now, when?"
The last time an, er, 'public figure' invoked this historic question (I can't in good conscience use the term 'leader' when referring to this 'meat puppet') was just before the Berlin Wall fell during a time when, unbeknownst to the rest of us, the One Percent (and actually it's a much smaller number than that) seized the power of the media and declared war on democracy.
I know, crazy talk but they aren't even trying to cover up the fact that the 'justice system' is F.U.B.A.R. (and that's ignoring the uptick in police shooting, often unarmed, civilians and just walking away, free as a bird.)
Don't suppose this is related to our illegal invasion of foreign countries and 'conditioning' our troops to shoot unarmed civilians, is it?
Never mind how the government only seems interested in spying on YOU so they can, er, 'protect' the rest of us from, er, 'terrorists'.
Terrorists they breed with their tone deaf handling of foreign affairs.
It has often been said 'how fortunate is it for those that run the world's governments [The One Percent] that their constituents 'don't think'...(and if you doubt that then you haven't visited Facebook lately.)
Naturally, there is no direction to jump, nobody is holding up a banner to rally behind because nobody (besides my humble self) is offering an alternative to being enslaved and robbed by those who control 'money'.
Like Star Wars, the assumption is once we wrest control of our affairs our of the hands of the 'self-interested' that we'd toddle on with 'business as usual'...except that's not possible.
With the 'Easy Half' of our 'cheap and abundant' energy exhausted, those who hold the other end of the noose around your neck are aiming at a 'dial back'.
They intend to roll the social clock back to our 'previous model', the one were speaking out against the status quo would get you executed for 'heresy'.
Look at the media, the process of 'dumbing down has already begun! Last night I viewed an imaginary autopsy of a T-Rex!
(Why even go there?)
Imaginative, yes but thirty years from now they're going to claim it's real and you won't dare deny it!
But I digress. let us return to the shooting of civilians by those forced to perform multiple tours in the Middle East so they could earn money for college degrees so they'd qualify for jobs that no longer exist here in the USA.
Diabolical coincidence, right?
Better not say otherwise (think what you want) but you saw what happened to the Black Muslim in Boston that confided to friends that he...well, we don't know what was really said. We only have the 'official version' of his threats to 'behead' police officers.
How sad is it that we can only shuffle to the political right so far before our sons and daughters are goosestepping into the unfortunate lands that hold resources deemed vital to the One Percent's interests.
And nobody will dare speak against it, even as their own children return in bodybags...or worse, maimed for life and discarded by those who run the country they served with such valor.
Naturally, none of this ends well.
so we circle back to the beginning, if not us, who and if not now, when?
Wait just a little bit longer and it will be too late...and there are some who'd opine we've already left that goalpost in the rearview mirror twenty years ago.
Thanks for letting me inside your head,
