Consider that if there was concern in the federal government during the '60s that the citizens were becoming too aware of the inner workings of the government it would be to their best interests to create an atmosphere in the country of distrust of each other. This would serve as a diversion of the citizen's attention from what was going on in politics.
Also consider that if they could create a situation where the majority of the people did not feel like they could ever understand politics then the populace would, on average, just not pay attention to something they felt they could do nothing about.
If the average citizen could be made to feel helpless to ever change anything then maybe they would give up on voting. Once that is accomplished then they could get more representatives in the federal government that were either actively working on a hidden agenda that was designed to promote more government control or representatives that really did not understand what was going on themselves and would be easy to manipulate for the benefit of the agenda.
Consider that it has been more and more obvious that big business and big defense contractors have been running the government through their pocketbooks for many years. This was one of the first ways the government found out about and used distrust and fear of others to promote their own agenda. Specifically using the fear of the Soviet Union to extort trillions of dollars from the taxpayers in the name of "Defense". Dwight Eisenhower said "Beware of the military - industrial complex".
Step one was to create a situation where the lower class underprivledged citizens who had been speaking out are suddenly promoted to a position where they are perceved to be "more equal" by a majority of the other citizens. This was accomplished through government programs, laws, and propaganda. We have been going through a period of time in this country where certian citizens have had to take a back seet to other "equal" citizens when competing for jobs, government programs, etc....
I believe that all citizens should be considered equal in all respects and the only different treatment should be based on merit such as the better qualified candidate for a job or other program. If there is a class of citizen that does not have the means to obtain an equal education or otherwise needs a helping hand to compete evenly in society then the governments mandate should be to make sure they get it.
There has been much unequal treatment of citizens in this country in the name of "Affirmative Action". I realize that some people would consider that what I'm proposing to be a racist opinion but it is not meant that way. I think that there is a lot of energy given to trying to protect one's own race at the expence of anothers' and this is a direct result of the policies that the government has been promoting for decades. There are people now who promote hatred for others based on their race and they do not take the time to really think things through.
This brings me back to the "stupidification of America". If people are not well educated then there is a lot more of an atmosphere for distrust of each other due to lack of understanding. When the government on one hand promotes certian races over others and on the other hand holds those races down by such means as withholding funds for education and other necessities of life it creates a confusing situation for these people. If the people are not educated enough then their natural reaction to their situation is to hate the others who have more preceved breaks than they do.
When someone comes along that tries to show what is going on that person then gets branded "racist". This is really a fine line to walk and it has now gotten to the point that it almost cannot be rectified.
It seems to me that the government has been playing one group against another for many years. I will take a very strong and pure motived person(s) to come along to bring back together the citizenry and educate them to see where the real problem lies. Only then can we begin to regain control of our government of the people.
I could go on with things like how we have a situation in our country now where this distrust of each other has grown, like a cancer, hate groups which are made up of people who are just reacting to the situation in the only way they know with their limited understanding and inability to logically reason due to their lack of education.
We are literally in a state in this country with hate groups, gangs, organized crime, some of the militias that have ultierior motives, high rate of "dropping out" and giving up as manifested by high drug use (including, and especially alcohol) and many other symptoms of a very sick society, where it would be relatively easy for the government to start abrideging our freedoms and constitutional rights in the name of cleaning up America.
We already have Supreme Court judges who decide the constitutionality of other legislative decisions without even considering the constitution. (I could go on and on about this subject).
There is a great unrest in this country and the citizens are beginning to get
ideas that they are being used and abused by the government and I think there
may be a "knee jerk" reaction and revolution will happen in this country
and we will then have a situation where the whole governmental structure will
crumble and we will be left defenseless to the powers of the world that would
like to take advantage of such a situation.
Could it be that the agenda that I have been describing could be leading to a one world government and a one world currency controlled by an elite group that will not have to be bothered by a constitution and civil rights?
I would be interested in your comments.
