Here's an equivocal phrase that has two very different meanings:
"People get the government they deserve."
I interpret this to mean that it is the powerful militant warlords, their
gangs of bloodthirsty armed thugs, and their ruthless, greedy, arrogant,
totally amoral financiers who form governments from their inception by
raping, pilliaging, plundering, conquering, and occupying.
Government is organized crime that is always invariably fascist by their
modus operandi. Vague political labels like "liberal," "conservative,"
"democrat," "republican," "independent," and so forth are convenient
diversions from how corporate-governments actually function. It is
always about greed and arrogance, and imposing by brute force and threat
of force against the various populations of people they seek to own and
control by every means available to them, including blackmail, bribery,
extortion, theft, confiscation, imminent domain, imprisonment, military
draft, torture, murder, mass muder, brainwashing, "winning hearts and
minds," "change you can believe in," "you've got the vote," and the list
goes on.
Most people don't realize how carefully scripted and orchestrated the
corporate-government- controlled media is. Not only their "news" media,
but also their scripted film, television, radio, and other media that
is designed to control the minds of the masses. There have obviously
been some notable exceptions, e.g., the scripted series 'The Sopranos,'
the film 'The Matrix,' and classical music radio, to name a few.
All corporate-governments, their military-industrial complexes, their
infrastructures, their vast wealth, their extravagant and debaucherous
lifestyles, their economies, their banks, their "greed is good" usury
markets, etc., all of them depend on Big Oil to grease the wheels of
progress, and they depend on their military intelligence script writers
to brainwash everyone they can in a highly compartmentalized and "need
to know" fashion. The late 1960s and early 1970s "apollo moon landings"
propaganda was a quintessential example of how easily most people could
be duped without ever being the wiser. The combination of big rockets,
big control rooms, radio interviews, crude lunaresque soundstages, and
"space capsules" descending to the ocean surface by parachute was
enough to convince almost everyone involved with "apollo" projects and
almost everyone who watched and listened on the television that living
humans had actually made it all the way to the Moon and back not only
once but six times without injury or death. Big Al Einstein said that
there are two thing that are infinite. If he had said "gullibility"
instead of "stupidity," he would have touched the thing with a needle.
Militaries have always viewed everyone and everything as a potential
weapon that they can use, hence could also be used against them. Words
and pictures make for powerful weapons in the hands of the "mainstream"
corporat-government- controlled media. The public are brainwashed from
their youth, beginning with "I pledge allegiance to the flag..." and
compulsory indoctrination-education systems. By the time these unwary
children reach adulthood, most of them will not even be aware that they
were brainwashed since the day they were born.
It has been my experience that the vast majority of people really don't
want to know how the world works, preferring instead the hypocritical
"finger-pointing" and "scapegoating" approach. The way that the
corporate-governments around the world portray themselves to the public
is universal in this regard. This is the old, tried-and-true practice
of "divide and conquer." They invent boogeymen to demonize via their
scripted media, confident that their gullible brainwashed "subjects"
will play along. A few "false flag" atrocities here and there serve to
lend credence to their propaganda campaigns driven by daily cycles of
repetition and the fatiguing "follow the bouncing ball"-style news and
talk show media. All of it is carefully scripted and coordinated to
distract, confuse, obfuscate, frustrate, and frighten the unwary into
submission and obedience.
My advice is to be very selective and discriminating about what you
watch on television, listen to on radio, or any other form of media
which the corporate-government might control. Network and cable
television scripted series, and television and radio talk shows, are
notorious for misleading their audiences. Agent provocateurs like
Alex Jones, Howard Riell, Jesse Ventura, et al, are especially skilled
at luring listeners into the illusion that "getting angry" and "waking
up" is going to result in any real and meaningful damage to the ruling
corporate-government oligarchy. This scripted technique works like a
pressure cooker that continually vents steam in order to prevent it
from building up too much pressure and rupturing or exploding. The
proletariat "99%" are powerless to vanquish their "1%" oppressors, so
the most they can do is to vent their anger and frustration by public
demonstrations, riots, vandalism, computer hacking, and other proven
ineffective activities. This prevents the 99% from "exploding" into a
full scale military revolt against the heavily guarded 1%.
Television talk shows like "Dr. Phil" are scripted to convince viewers
that unquestioning obedience to the 1% is normal behavior, and that
disobedience and questioning authority is forbidden. "Judge Judy" is
another example of a pompous megalomaniacal control-freak that loves
to see government-sanctioned brute force and intimidation inflicted on
the poor and powerless. The "Criminal Justice" system is well-named
because it's big business that is very profitable for the professional
criminals who run it.
