| Yet another trite clich� on the World as we know it (and I feel fine) All right there has been much talk in the press about fossil fuels; the dwindling supply, the sky rocketing prices, SUVs, the current regime�s energy plan etc. Well this ain�t� no sissy way to drum up more cash for the greedy. It�s plain and simple to all who will look, it is a WAR. A war against the planet, the poor, and the future, so that the greedy corporate robber barons can line their already fat pockets with more gold before the bottom falls out of Western Civilization. Yet we collectively stand by and let it happen. Some of us bitch and moan, while others take a more active role and then of course there are those who lay prone ready and eager to receive the pulsating member of our rapist--THE COPORATE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL ENTERTAINMENT COMPLEX. Lest I forget the ignorant, who are completely oblivious to what is occurring. Now that I�ve done my introductory ranting, standby for the tirade. Ponder if you will, the origin of fossil fuels--DEATH. Yes, it is the death of animals which perished millions of years ago that brings good things to life. Now, it is not only ancient death, but the death of the future that is being marketed to the populace to increase the profit margin of our corporate masters. Like the extinct life that we ride the back of, the life we live now, and those who are the policy makers, will soon be extinct as well. King George W. and his court have delivered for our displeasure a way to both continue the enslavement of the masses, and destroy our world and feel really confused about doing it. I have shed blood for oil in the hopes that the crusade to liberate the poor people of Kuwait (from the vile grips of the hired goons of Mr. Saddam Hussien) would secure oil prices and foster in a new era of enlightenment. Well that is idealistic naivet� at its best, or perhaps its worst. Now Son of Bush has his own plan (or rather the plan of his dear ole dad and the good ole boy network) for world domination. This plan effects every man, woman, child, and those yet to be born. So what are we going to do about it? Probably lay here and take it. There are alternatives to the proposed plan of continued exploitation, which my colleague addresses in the first part of this treastie. Alternatives such as: Hemp, solar, hydro-electric, geo-thermal, alternate carbon based by-products, limited use of fission reactors, and synthetic composites. It doesn�t require much in-depth investigation to realize where this plan of the Evil Empire is leading us, to the road of the Emerald City, paved on the flesh and bones of the exploited. Once there, it is their gold and utopia which is the result of Globicide. THE CORPORATE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL ENTERTAINMENT COMPLEX has it�s agenda neatly laid out for any who care to look, accompanied with a sense of smug satisfaction once you�ve peeked behind that curtain. The destruction of our home and future is their plan. All so that they can thin the heard, and institute their declared oligarchy. Should they not be held accountable? �Give us justice!!�, cries a voice from the darkness. Will we heed this plea? Probably not. So let us deny our masters the power to enslave us. Turn off your electricity! Sell your car! Live on a self sufficient commune! Naw...that is probably too extreme for most of us. So perhaps instead of denying the Evil Empire it�s profits (and our blood), we should just stem the flow of energy consumption to a trickle. Conservation, and individual effort, can go a long way. By pooling our resources, we can forge our own future free of the Enemy�s oppression. The future is ours, and our children�s. Our destiny, the heavens. Yes, I just said �the heavens.� Let us declare our own sovereignty and begin the exodus from this rock. Let the greedy fight over it, until there is nothing left but mutants, the dead, and the burning ruins of the temples we�ve built to separate us from ourselves. Do I have your attention now? I certainly hope so. I do my part to instigate revolution, I am a professional revolutionary. Thus I try to encourage others to take an active role instead of the sedated docile one that permeates our society. return to the table of contents |
