Orwellian Pro-life and Torture

Doublespeak, newspeak, the meaning of words changes rapidly. Pro-life is such a positive sounding term, but so many who preach it are pro-death for people who disagree with them. So many support the war we were lied into, which has caused a million deaths in Iraq, and left four million homeless. Pro-life for fertilized eggs, but not for human beings. So self-righteous, so sure their god is the only god, worshiping mammon in a capitalist temple, while claiming to be so holy.

Lower gas prices are supposed to help incumbents in the election. That explains why they dropped so fast, and shows plainly how easily the price is manipulated. Think oligarchy and plutocracy, instead of democracy, because it is long gone. The republic is also dead, replaced by empire.

Back to the pro-lifers, who don't care how many people are killed in other countries by our military. They don't know, nor care that American corporations, around the world, hire militias to keep the farmers in line and execute serious opposition. Their attitude here is also pro-death.

Anyone, who reads, who hasn't read Orwell's 1984, must do so. Read a prophet as accurate as any who ever lived. Listen to our leaders spouting inane remarks, similar to "war is peace."

Pro-lifers and death go together like McCain and torture. He would never approve it he said, and our government would never do it. But our government did torture. It continues to torture, and McCain supports it. It's enough to make your head spin.

Our old allies are now our enemies, and former enemies are our best allies is a scenario from Orwell. The government propaganda machine always claims we are winning, but everything goes to the war, and the ruling class, leaving little for common folk. Look around...read 1984, or Animal Farm. That's another terrific ditty, more satirical, slightly less grim.

Warning: Political Rant Ahead.

There's another war in the world, as Russia and Georgia go at it. What base foolishness! Wars start tit-for-tat, like fifth grade farting contests and escalate until people are getting killed. Professional soldiers are not killed as often as innocent civilians. The ignorant morons, who start these messes, are never killed along with the innocent civilians.

It's a business. Their jobs depend on building weapons of mass destruction, selling them and using them. Profits go up as people die. This destructive program hides behind mass market memes, such as "free market" and "democracy' and robs the poor to bloat the rich.

Orwell's 1984 didn't arrive exactly on time, but it is definitely with us now. If you haven't read any Orwell, shame on you! It's as pure a prophesy and commentary as any in the Bible. And to quote the Moody Blues: ...the truth is all around if you can but perceive.

We must make ending war our first priority and dismantle the military/industrial complex. We must reverse engineer our culture.

Anybody have a link to that 1984-style, Superbowl Apple ad? Loved that graphic.

Meanwhile, here's something to consider.
