I’m not sure why anyone would doubt me in a world of politicians and businessmen, lobbyists and writers, men and women with multiple families, sometimes secret, have you ever seen the show The Americans? A seemingly happy family with children that don’t even know that their parents are actually government spies. There are private groups and organizations, military intelligence groups that don’t allow their people to tell others what it is that they do, private sectors, etc. My situation is not far fetched in the land of Edward Snowdens. Where the majority of the world has access to every bit of information and technology we have available to us, even tech that we don’t. My brother is an engineer that works on backup power generators, generators that vary in the hundreds, that he has to analyze and know how they work the moment he steps in the room. These generators power hospitals, entire buildings, server rooms, etc. There is a hand touching every last bit of what you have in your homes, businesses, and places you would consider safe. Nowhere is safe anymore, nowhere is private. If you choose to be linked to society by technology, the internet, satellites, your every move is watched and monitored. This isn’t something we can ignore anymore, in a lot of ways George Orwell was right. In America especially we’ve become a capitalist dictatorship, if it doesn’t make money for us we strike it out, if it doesn’t profit or contribute for us we don’t want it. Your value is not only a measure of what you’ve done, but what you can give to me now. It’s the land of instant gratification, soiled by the sins of our fathers. The homeless and poor populace is on the rise, while social services are being cut everywhere. Places like Flint Michigan don’t even have clean water to drink and we continue to spend trillions on the military industrial complex. Safety is not a concern when profiling and murder happens everyday by the people that are supposed be there to protect us, the people. For the people by the people is now for the dollar by the dollar. The for profit prison system is proof of that, when the government believe they can get more money out of people behind bars than they can as free citizens. There are more than 10,000 homeless in Seattle with a wait list of over a year for housing, with no rent control, budget cuts everywhere, help for only women and children, men are stuck out in the cold or put in shelters with criminals, addicts, and the destitute. The system is built for failure, it’s population control and a capitalist regime at it’s worst. How does anyone get a leg up in a society while it’s government uses it’s people as a scapegoat to remove every right that they’ve fought for. Where blind justice has become blind guilt, there is no innocence anymore, we’re all shamed and guilty. In a nation of conservatives that state us a Christian nation, The same Christianity that purports original sin. Well to those that speak ill of me, I’ve never been to jail, I’ve never been arrested, I’ve never started a fight, I’ve never been ticketed for more than a speeding ticket, I defend human rights, progressive ideals, anti-violence, science, love over hatred, honesty, integrity, that we are more than our progress, we are more than the product of our environment, humanism, secularism, freethought. All this hate and apathy will destroy us all and lead us to the next extinction, unless we start listening to one another rather than censoring and defaming one another. My eyes are open.
