Amazing, isn’t it? What we hear about on the “news” and bullshit MSM outlets, and what people are REALLY concerned about.
Unemployment and dissatisfaction with government (racism is last). People are sick and tired of the criminals running this country, but don’t do much about it. These results don’t fit the story lines, talking points, and agenda of Obama and our owners, so you’ll hear nothing about it. Well, at least you will here.

I guess it’s easier to talk about social issues then it is to talk about economic issues.
You have to be intelligent to talk about economics, any stupid fucknut can make a issue out of race or immigration or climate change, or whatever is real simple to yap about.
If you look at the last four items on the list, gap between rich and poor, immigration, the environment, and race relations, add them together, you have 16% thinking they’re a problem, less than the 19% who are concerned about our crooked socialist criminal politicians. Yet, those four items are all you hear about on TV 24/7. The brainwashing, class warfare, environmental terrorism, and race baiting are all the liberal progressive media care about, while the criminal politicians and banksters rob us blind and wipe out our economy.
You won’t see or hear coverage on any of these topics because the U.S. Media is bought and paid for by the same fools who’ve bought and paid for our government.
Bring back the “Fairness doctrine” and bust up the monopoly companies into itty-bitty pieces. And none of that “subsidiary” shit either!
I’ve been looking for an appropriate thread to share what I saw over the weekend at the “Operation American Spring” rally in D.C. This one looks as close as I’ll get, so here it is:
Rode the metrorail from the suburbs of Virginia into D.C. Saturday afternoon. Coming up out of the Smithsonian station that rises smack in the center of the National Mall, the first thing I see is about 5,000 folding chairs lined up for the George Washington University commencement which was to take place later in the day. Stage all set up and huge video monitors displaying a color test pattern.
No sign of any protest or rally taking place, so I walked towards the Capitol building end of the mall.
Finally about 200 yards into the trek, I spot some banners: “America is a Christian Nation”, “Impeach the Corrupt”, “Benghazi: 4 Men Died, Many Democrats Lied”, and “Thank You Trey Gowdy” (I’ll talk about that last one in a sec…). There were about 20 people sitting in lawn chairs quietly talking. I walked up and asked them where everyone was. A woman said “About 1/2 of us are doing a silent march to the White House”, she said. WTF, I thought–there are only 20 of you here and “about 1/2” are marching to the WH? Where are the thousands predicted to be at this event???
Anyway, I decided to walk the mall and maybe by the time I got back there would be something happening. There were lots of tourists out–it was a nice day weather-wise and D.C. is crawling with museum and monument seekers this time of year–most all within walking distance of the national mall (Jefferson, Lincoln, Washington monuments, Smithsonian, Aerospace & Technology, Newseum, National Gallery of Art, etc.).
So about an hour and half and 5 miles later I make the round trip back to their “camp”. Since I grew up here I’ve already seen all the museums and monuments except for the recently built WWII monument, and it’s the furthest away and very crowded on this day. Here’s a website picture taken shortly after it was constructed (not the day I was there):

During my walk I kept thinking of that “Thank You Trey Gowdy” sign. As you may know, Gowdy is going to lead the Select Committee hearing on Benghazi, but I just wondered how the hell these people thought anything significant is going to come out of that. I mean, Obama has slithered his way out of all these scandals unscathed so far. These republicans conducting the IRS, Benghazi, Fast/Furious, etc., inquiries have gotten nowhere and I don’t think they ever will get anywhere. It’s simply political theater through and through. So I wanted to question someone from American Spring about that but really didn’t feel like I’d get any good response. I did talk to a guy from Georgia about it and he somewhat agreed. He said the best thing to do was to join your state’s militia.
By now the WH march has returned and someone is talking into an amplified microphone in front of about 40 men and women, some with their military/militia garb on, carrying American, Revolutionary, and “Don’t Tread on Me” flags. The speaker is saying how important is to go to their congresscritters office on Monday and request a meeting to air their grievances, another says there will be a prayer Sunday morning and how powerful prayer is for this event. I was still dumbfounded by the lack of attendees.
I took some pictures but instead of copying them to a website and posting links to them, I’ll leave a link to part of the rally that happened Friday at the WH below. You can see there are little organizational skills present.

Obviously this was a huge bust after all the hype trying to get folks involved. Speaks volumes to what I’ve said on this forum many times before: We are a nation without a common culture due to immigration; we have no unifying causes; we allow ourselves to be divided and dumbed-down by a media totally captured and controlled by the government; we are ruled by fear mongers that monitor our every communication, know our whereabouts via cameras, microphones and GPS-tracked cell phones, and keep record of every purchase made and dollar spent if done with a credit/debit card.
There will be no political reform, no monetary reform, and no cultural/moral reform. I only see hope in a rebirth after a total collapse. I do not advocate a treasonous rebellion–in fact, our underlying form of government is fine, if only those in power would abide by the wonderful constitution we were given. I do, however, so believe in what Thomas Jefferson said:
“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”
This does not necessarily mean a revolution–just a kick in the ass of those tyrants who have abused power by patriots, in order to restore the union to glory. What form that will take in the Fourth Turning is what I anxiously await.
The news focuses on the opposite of what “the People” are concerned with because, if it went along with the program, it would amplify the People’s feeling & cause a damn revolution.
So, in true Orwellian fashion, the bottom is the top & vice versa. No 1 cares about race very much when everyone’s unemployed, just as when times are good, religionism, racism, etc. starts to disappear also.
It’s all economics. Numbers.
How the hell can “economy” and “Federal deficit/debt” be separate line items?
Polls, just like elections are rigged.
Rise up
Thanks for that update. I’m personally very disappointed with the “American Spring” operation. They were expecting a million people, said they had a million people showing up. It was a joke. I don’t know if people just don’t care, or they see nothing positive coming from yet another “peaceful” protest. The only thing a fascist government understands is violence. The Federal government is preparing for violence, and they are targeting 1st and 2nd Amendment supporters, whom they see as terrorists. Obama and the liberals have openly used the IRS to terrorize the Tea Party and other patriots, and nobody cares.
Sometimes it seems that the liberal progressives and Obama aren’t the greatest danger to this country, but apathy and the people who overtly or covertly support Obama and the criminals running this country. With the level of apathy we are experiencing, in the face of the collapse of the middle class and the rampant unemployment/underemployment, there is absolutely nothing that can be done, our fate is sealed. The fascists running this country only know and respect violence; they use violence abroad to further their agenda, and they will use violence here to maintain their power. Everything else is pointless. Game over until it all collapses, then we’ll be fighting the Feds and their dependents (the free shit army).
Interestingly, NO-ONE mentions Fukushima, the out-of-control potential planet killer and real #1 problem.
Wonder why…oh that’s right…the MSM doesn’t tell anyone.
Our underlying form of government is for shit. If it was any good we would not have all these issues. Central or federal government of any kind is wicked and corrupt. End the Federal Government and replace it with nothing. Then we can concentrate on how we wish to dispose of our state governments and local political scumbags. But first we must kill the bankers. But that’s not going to happen and only a delusional anarchist thinks it will.
To those who believe that government is good if the right guys are running it and those who believe that the situation in the good old USSA can be salvaged I say this. Read a little history and learn how to do some math and then get your head out of your ass.
The vast majority of people will do nothing except bitch, moan, and make videos of outrage. They will only take action when we see total collapse. Many will be to old, fat or sick do do anything other than lay down and die or ride their scooter until it quits and then lay down and die.The rest will only be motivated when starving and destitute and then only as so many zombies looking to violently loot their next meal. They will probably say they are doing it for their children. I think all the citizens in the entire nation with some real balls are out at the Bundy ranch with their horses keeping their Winchester 94’s clean. Buch of great guys but the Gooberment will soo
There is no way to reason with or civilly dismantle tyranny other than when the tyrant lies dead at your feet. That is if you are not dead under his feet first. We are doomed. Really, really Doomed. And then after that Doomed some more.
