New NFL Season Bothersome?

I, like many, am very excited for the start of the NFL season.  I watched last night's game almost like it was the Super Bowl all over again.  I wanted to talk about something that I've noticed over the last few weeks and I'm sure it will continue through this season. The whole, "Back to Football" slogan that the NFL is using. 

The first few times I saw it, it was neat.  Now it bugs me.  I'm not a big fan of creating your own problem, solving it, then congradulating yourself (something I'm sure they learned from watching the Government over the last several years).  I'm sure it works for a lot of people.  It probably helps in getting ahead at a job or something like that.  But when rich people in power do it, they control so much already, why make it so obvious that we are just on the sidelines with no say? 

For those that have been paying attention, we are being reminded almost on a daily basis, that we are all just sitting on the sidelines.  Waiting for someone to come on the T.V. and tell us how the problems are our own fault and they have a new solution for us.  The structure is in place and has been for a very long time.  It won't be changing any time soon.  We sit and watch.  They control and manipulate.  And everyone is OK with that. 

Don't like what you see?  Vote them out.  How many have really noticed that, no matter who is elected or not, the policy does not change?  Because the people in "power" don't really matter.  They do not have the real power to change anything.  But they tell us we can change it.  And we buy into it.  They have a plan.  How do they get us to go along with the plan?  They create the problems, for which, thier plan is the solution(more on this in a later blog).

I know that football is just a distraction.  I understand that.  It just bothers me to see the self inflicted pat on the back the NFL is doing now.  I'm like most people and I'm sure I use the "out of sight, out of mind" mentality more than I should.  But to put it on display, out in the open where you can't get away from it.  Just seams a little fishy.  "Look at what we did!  We solved the Lockout problem!".  Great.  Why did you let it happen in the first place?  We wouldn't be "Back to" Football if they didn't take it away in the first place.  I call shenanigans!

Nazis, John Wayne and September 11th

  I'm Going to start this one off with a quote:

     "Of course the people don't want war.  But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.  Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.  That is easy.  All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."

HERMANN GORING - Nuremberg Trials

     It all sounds to easy.  But this has been going on for so long, they have it down to a science.  Of course the thing that should be on every ones mind's is September 11th.  The Germans had the Reichstag fire to rally the people and give Hitler "dictatorial powers".  We don't need to get into World War II right now, but keep that in mind.  So, what is the connection between the two?  What happened with our country right after September 11th?  Our President came out on the T.V. and talked like John Wayne, to rally the people to go to war.  Sound Familiar? 

     I remember how good it felt that we were going after the "terrorists" that did this to us.  But looking back, there are way too many questions that remain unanswered and most likely never will be.  We were all so in shock by what we were seeing on T.V. that day we never stopped to ask why did those steel buildings fell so fast?  Why did building 7 fall?  How did we know who was responsible the very next day?  Everything happened so fast.

     Not many people have heard of this, Project for the New American Century.  It was a think tank based in Washington D.C. , of which, Vice President Dick Cheney was a part of.  In this document, they called for many changes and rules for the future of the country.  And, in their own words, "Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event––like a new Pearl Harbor".  These words came from their report Rebuilding America's Defenses that was published in September 2000.  I believe, the reason everything happened to fast, is they had a plan, they knew exactly what they were going to do and how they would do it. 

     I know a lot of people, if they are even still reading this, can turn a blind eye to anything that openly questions the government.  I used to think people that asked too many questions of any thing were just looking for an excuse to call someone a liar.  It took a long time before I realized that asking questions and talking about things are what clears the air.  Many people are not there yet, they have not reached that point when they will realize that not everything is out in the open.  For every 1 thing we are told, there are hundreds that we are not told.  Before, I never really thought about it, so it didn't bother me.  Now it does. 

     All I'm saying is that, we are not being told everything.  History is repeating itself.  We need to be asking more questions.  I'm sure I will come back to this subject again and I have to start somewhere.  Every time there is a major news story, just ask yourself who might be profiting from this?  Or who stands to gain the most from this situation?  I've grown to be very skeptical of the news and you should be too.  Look at the success rate for anything the government has been involved in, that should be more then enough to get people to question things more and more.  What are some things you are starting to question?
