Good Bye Freedom

by david miller (david)
The greatest loss, after the lives of those killed on September 11th, is our freedom and democracy as a whole.
As a result of the ongoing terrorist attacks on America, it's a virtual certainty that citizens of free nations around the globe will see an erosion of civil liberties, and basic personal freedoms, all in an effort to justify the current war against terrorism. Governments, and the corporations that run them, will continue to use this event as a means to an end in their propoganda war for control over the workers who produce their wealth. The majority of the worlds media, that feed us our filtered news, will continue to use these attacks on America to further their agenda, through paranoia, and other tactics useful to them. Using fear and patriotism they will carry on insighting anger against these so called, 'evil people', as was done against Iraq during 'Desert Storm' in 1991.

The power mongers who run the media, banks, corporations and governments, will no doubt keep reaching for their Orwellian dream with plenty of new ammo to exploit us with. The working class of the wealthy nations will continue to be brainwashed into standing by our corrupt governments, including their foreign policies of which many of us know little about. These policies will ensure that the richer countries will continue to inflict monetary pain upon poorer nations of the world, and use the fear of terrorism to ignore calls for a more fair global economic system. Power and corruption are human follies and we must be vigilant in our awareness of how to prevent these forces from destroying all sense of what is decent in an otherwise abysmal predicament. We in the 'Have Countries' will no doubt continue to maintain our wealth and status within the world by forcibly excluding poorer nations from joining us at the head table, but the so called, 'free world', will never be the same again after September, 11th.

Sincerely, David Miller

Governments control corporations, not the other way around. Who has the guns and laws? Starve a Feeding Bureaucrat! They have too much power and they make laws, against us, the new peons, they are the new aristocrats.
