I am shocked when I hear that Obama is trying to create jobs and fix the economy. I then remember when he was elected and all his promises and I also remember how he would not side with any special interests. He is so involved with Corporate America that its truly pathetic that all this change only took place with the name of who is the President now or that America finally elected someone who has African Decent in his blood. At least that was done but thats all I give America credit for because all that has happened is the same ole, same ole.
I have fears in my country, Canada, because we are your neighbors and it seems that our leader is pro American, and willing to unite our countries with a currency which will mean much more that just that. The rights are being shredded a little at a time and the old will no longer exist, the constitution will not resemble what the founding fathers intended for their new free country. We are headed to a monarchy again and this time they will make sure that it will last. The patriot act is the beginning, with other changes coming soon and don't be surprised one day if you cant access many websites or restrictions and laws regarding what you are reading. Is this what freedom is? The patriot act allows government to search your home, arrest you without even allowing you a phone call, no one knowing that you have been arrested, wiretapping without any court orders, and so much more with the excuse of terrorism and that you are a terrorist. Our voices will be silenced because of fear of persecution because of threats of being arrested, and only because you have a difference of opinion or a different belief. Is that what the founding fathers had intended for freedom? They say its a different time, a different world. How serious is this terror threat? Really, look up how many terrorists have attacked after 9/11? Do they really need to do all the stepping on our rights and unconstitutional action, because we are in danger? There are reports that say that there was a warning that planes would be hijacked and flown into the World Trade Center so who's fault is that and would the patriot act have helped when the information was not received from these methods, so why change what seemed to be working. It wasn't that it didn't work, its just that someone made a mistake and maybe thought that it was not possible.
All I believe is that we should not change what those who built what has been America, had intended for freedom and we should not allow terrorists to determine what freedom is either and by destroying our freedom we are doing just that. If the constitution is shredded, we are allowing them to win and fear will be the everyday norm and it will dictate how we live. NO!!!
Obama must stop allowing others dictate what we need and Corporate America does not know whats best. He is involved more than you know and all the media you watch is doing what they want and reporting the news which is dictated by those who own it. Have you ever search to see who owns your favorite news station? Look it up, you will be surprised. Then ask yourselves this, will they be fair and unbiased when the select what will be shown and what will be news? Will they allow themselves to look bad in any way? Do they support a certain party and politician, and protect this person or that person when reporting the news? Do you think that they are showing what will be beneficial to their agenda or are they honest? Enough of the news wars and the putting down and name calling, where you have one station putting down another. The media is the peoples insurance that the government will be held accountable no matter which party it is or which politician it is. Enough is enough because our rights and freedoms are at risk and you are all allowing freedom of speech to be speech for those who can afford it. The First Amendment is in place to protect the media so that they can keep our leaders in place and hold them accountable and responsible for their actions or inaction, for the inappropriate behavior and wrong doings, not to protect them or sweep it under a rug. We are in danger and we are headed on a path of known territory and the territory resembles a past that was horrible and truly unspeakable, literally, which is not what the true leaders and visionaries of freedom intended. I am not against government or politicians, I am against our rights being stripped away, slowly, slowly and that we cannot assemble to share our views and share them peacefully, without violence, ever. I do not condone violence and will never support it, I do support peace and freedom, which means what was, not what is currently. We know what was, so please give us our was, thats all I ask. You can run the country. You can lead us like true leaders. The dreams of us all, should never be trampled on but should be allowed to come to fruition, in an America that is envied by everyone on the planet. Thats my dream. The problem is, I don't know if anyone on this planet can ever create this or can it become a reality, in a world where the rat race, or the monetary system is still in its current status. Man loves power and power is money. Only GOD can fix this world or system that we continuously try to change, always thinking that they know what is good for the masses and what should be.
Here is a list of all the Corporations and the media they own. Also below there is a list of Obama's Economic Advisor's which you really should see who they work for. I will let you know in my next post more about these people and corporations. Take care.
