VIDEO: Anthony Weiner Owns it on House Floor; Becomes My New Favorite Congressman « SpeakEasy.
I think Rep Weiner has taken off the gloves. Let’s hope he draws some blood. The Replublicans are under the delusion that they aren’t being watched or understood. They also believe that if they stop ALL progress it will be percieved as an Obama failure and a Rebublican victory. What (I believe) they don’t anticipate is the fact that BOTH sides will be seen as a failure and the mid-term elections will be a slaughterhouse for incumbents. I can’t wait to get my slice of the incumbent steak – and that applies to both sides of the aisle. I don’t care if we have to lose a few good ones in order to oust the bad ones. At this point there are far more bad than good and a clear and brutal message must be sent to the electorate in the form of mass evictions. If you are in Washington, the clock is counting down and the people are pissed. The rules and the game have changed. We are awake and reading between the lines.
Let’s be clear about the reality of our world.  Until citizens organize in an unprecedented MASS protest there will not be justice OR peace in our society.  That’s why the political rhetoric, major media, and the huge corporations are so cunningly deceptive about dividing us into small factions that hate each other to a violent extent.  WE aren’t the problem.  THEY ARE.  But they trick us into tearing each other apart because it empowers THEM.  And people are starting to wake up to this fact.  Radical people who incite hatred of the groups they CLAIM to represent are tools of this repression (on BOTH sides of the isle). Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, Hannity, Rush on the conservative side.  Olberman, Al Gore, Hillary, Michael Moore and a thousand news reporters on the liberal side.  All have varying degrees of complicity and a strong backing with SOME amount of logic at their core, but they are de-motivated to be honest about addressing real solutions because it would not further their careers nor empower them to do so.  It’s the “fake” left vs. right paradigm and if you step outside of it you realize that it’s a system of control and NOT a means to an end. There is no satisfactory end to this story when you consider the majority of players only serve themselves and NOT the society. If you view our world through this lens, then the current state of affairs seems a lot clearer.  Not easier to resolve, but clearer.  It will only become a resolution when (nearly) everyone becomes honest about the game, the players and overall goals of our society. Our national protest must be soon and must be peaceful. Violence begets violence, and honesty begets honesty. Exercise critical analysis and learn to read between the lines. The truth will set you free.
