Monochrome Mentality

Sometimes I refer to government schools as "indoctrination camps". This sometimes pisses people off because they don't want to face the reality.

Normally, however, I'm "merely" referring to how those schools teach "sit down, shut up and raise your hand to speak" when the real world passes by if you obey those dictates.

Tonight though, I mean it. INDOCTRINATION.

In the same vein as the Bellamy Salute, inspired by the Christian SocialistFrancis Bellamy, and the Nazi salute give me the chills, so do two videos I saw today.



In the first, school children are singing about how "Obama's Gonna' Change It!". The "high production value" of the video might cause you to miss, some of the singing is taking place in what appears to be a public school. At the end of the video, it shows footage of German children singing to the leader they were told embodied "hope".



In the second, a line of students march in wearing uniform clothing, marching in step and chanting. When they speak, they say "Because of Obama, I'm inspired to be...". What they are saying is positive on the surface. People feeling inspired and empowered is a good thing. Watch it though. They're all the same. Uniform in clothing, in step, in voice, even in haircut. Conformity while discussing inspiration? Then it becomes clear. The young men then begin talking about Obama's policy (health care in specific) in which we all must be robbed to pay for everyone else. We're not individuals, this video says, we're all the same, all parts of a "greater" and Obama is above us. Rubbish, all. It's so sad. Those guys are proclaiming their goals. To be a carpenter or a chemical engineer, and yet all the while march and act in a display the subsumes the talented, productive and wealth producing individual to the fatigues-and-navy drone.

Lest someone think that I'm anti-Obama, I'm not.

John McMaverick McCain is being a bit more blatant with his message of subsuming the individual. He calls directly for people to put "country first". Put "country first" as he uses propaganda to continue the destruction of wealth and the slaughter of human lives across to globe (It's not just Iraq and Afghanistan, US troops are in over 150 nations, though not all killing at the same rate as the ones in Iraq.)

"Country first" as he votes to fire up the printing presses of the Federal Reserve and shrink the buying power of all holders of the Federal Reserve Note (Sometimes incorrectly called dollar), the majority in America using that currency all the time.

Not individuals, who have families to feed. Not individuals, who's skills and talents produce uncountable wealth and generate prosperity. Not individuals with rights and liberty. No, not individuals - country first.

Barack Obama and John McMaverick McCain are two sides of the same statist coin. The flavors don't matter, because the means are the same. Both want to wield the violence and coercion that is the state. Both want to use force to take lives and take wealth. Both are destructive, unethical and dangerous.

Don't take my word for it? Listen from "the man" himself as Barack Obama explains what governments (or in his word, nation-states) have - a monopoly on the use of violence.
