I have often wondered what impact the pharmaceutical industry has had on the awareness, alertness, waking-ness level in this, the most drug prescribed country in the world.

Sedative have a very strong effect on anger, outrage, displeasure all the feelings you need to feel in order to react.

There are not protests in the streets about a war that even Hardball's Chris Mathews ...I think he said ....was based on bad information.

He didn't go so far as say lies, but that's what everyone knows. But there is no reaction. i'll bet drugs have had an impact on all of this.

But not entirely..

Such as ...

Calls? LTEs? Emails? (Very limited) protests in the streets?

There is an old vaudeville routine that I often use in my teaching.

Doctor's office:

Silly patient: (Raising his arm above his head.) "It hoits when I do DIS, Doc!!!"

Silly doctor: "Don't DO dat!!!"

Well...a corollary to that answer might be "Don't continue to do things that do not work very well."

You want a plan or suggestion?

I have making the same suggestion in INNUMERABLE variations as to how to get the attention of the Corporate PermaGov ever since I started posting over at Big Orange about 11 months ago. And it has gotten me kicked OFF of that site three separate times, although I am sure that the powers that be over there would deny that as the reason.

Do not give the PermaGov your attention.

On every level possible.

Deny their spinning media your money.

Boycott the advertisers that support that media.

Drop as far out of the usurious credit system as you possibly can and still survive.

Get their attention by hitting them in the pocketbook.

In the bottom line...the ONLY line that they really value.

Do NOT allow the so-called opposition to run weak and compromising candidates, and if they insist on doing so, take your custom away from them as well.

Drop far enough away so that you can see the uselessness of LTEs written to Pravda Lite.

Emails sent to charter members of the Comintern.

You want to see "protests in the streets" that WORK?

Run one with THIS kind of passion and watrch the rats run off the decks of a sinking ship.

Or...continue on in the hypnotized faith that LTEs will affect the course of the REAL WMDs...Weapons of Mass Disinformation.

Your choice.

It is not an easy choice, to become part of the so-called disenfranchised again.

But hey...if 4/5ths of the population is "disenfranchised" (the population of the non-developed world, more or less), then you are just joining the eventual winning team.

The meek SHALL inherit the earth.

Of course...then they'll probably get arrogant and run the same game all over again, but that's another day and another dollar three-eighty.

NOW is what we must deal with.

And...

Have fun...
