American citizens are also allowing this rape to happen. It is the rape of a nation. The degradation and soiling of a people and a Christian ethic. Unfortunately, we are all complicit in the act. We have become addicted to sound bites that relieve us of the necessity of critical thinking. It began in WWII with Roosevelt's "fireside chats" over the radio. The resources needed to validate the messages were controlled by the corporate news; so hand in glove, in lock step, we marched toward the beacon of freedom and truth defined by the ruling pompous elite. The newspapers gave way to radio,, gave way to television, gave way to cell phones. All carrying the deadly seeds of deception, that they were created for our good. Tools of convenience led us to blind allies of no alternatives. The information highway became the road to singularity of thought. Artificial intelligence led to elimination of alternate information. Only one vision remained.

We are now presented with univision. A place where our only information source is a carefully crafted recipe of toxic scientific and social sludge that accomplishes the agenda of human enterprise managers that desire wealth aggregation for those who already have too much. To a society where our "leaders" have overthrown merit and intellect in favor of ease and simplicity on our behalf. An ease and simplicity that lines their pocket with the gain others might have given to their children.

The wealth extraction exercise has required some crafty manipulation by the enterprise managers. We have been refocused from paragons of genuine intellect and wisdom to the facades of popularity and attraction. Form without substance. We are now T.S. Elliot's Hollow Men committed to the vain imaginations of unattainable beauty and sensual delight. We have exchanged the exhilaration instilled by truth, reality and achievement for the comfort provided by mass delusion. We have traded Michelangelo's David for Lady Gaga.

The difference between the collapse of current constructs and those of the past is that no one will rebuild or renovate today's creation. Like Sodom and Gomorrah the ruins will be ignored. Worthless and unappealing, without value or utility in building anew. The corruption plaguing our nation will result in destruction of everything created since the invention of stone. The concrete will spall and turn to dust as the rebar within it rusts and returns to it's elemental beginnings. Mortar will decompose, plastic will shatter. The utterances of our vaunted leaders will line cages of birds long dead. No phoenix moment. Our history will be a blank section of the timeline stretching from Egypt to Utopia.

We have done this to ourselves. Our refusal to apply critical thinking skills in lieu of turning over thought control to paragons of cellulose and breast implants has been our own undoing. We are beginning to get a glimpse of the crass reality intended for us, but too late. Women who bought the career lie now wonder why men won't seize their offering. Children who bought the "other me" lie now bemoan an unfruitful future. Men won't now be and never have been authors of a stable future. The authors of the current trajectory will realize too late that the middle class they have worked so hard to pilfer was in reality who made their lifestyle possible. The flood of uneducated lawn mowers can make the bed, but not resurrect their lifeless air conditioner. The technology has exceeded the skills of poorly paid people.

If there is one light at the end of the tunnel it is that orchestra director is still at work. Despite the squalor that is the result of the current mindless grift being conducted by the parasites of the world, none of their treasure will be taken to the grave. It will all end up in the hands of others and slowly but surely the empires built will become dust. Future generations will gaze upon Ozymandias' grave with derision. No doubt the robber barons will laugh and extol the virtues of current creature comforts and the dream of cyber life, but in the end they will be dead. Suffering the soulless torment of eternity at Hades door, they will lament. Knowing in their conscience that they suffered from believing their own delusion. Lazarus will be watching. No water will be forthcoming, ever.

White men need to protect their women. If they are going in harm's way going to an Easter celebration, go with them. Armed!
