America: Lost With No Moral Compass | Philip A. Farruggio

For all you out there reading this who already reject our current "Two-Party, One-Party" political con job, and understand that our nation is a Military Industrial Empire, the title above is not about YOU.

However, this small (too-small) group of us still has many friends and loved ones who are lost with no moral compass. We have associates, acquaintances, employers, coworkers and people we run into at the store or gas station who not only have no moral compass, but many are passionate defenders of this empire. The Why to this is most interesting and frightening.

A week or two ago a story broke about a high school football team hazing syndrome that regressed into sexual assaults by upperclassmen upon freshman players. Anal penetration was involved as many in the locker room (unsupervised by the way) cheered it on.

When the news got out, the school board called an emergency meeting and immediately cancelled the rest of the season. Despite knowing of what transpired, there were parents of team members at that meeting who protested the action of the board. Some said the assaults did not warrant having the whole team suffer "no more football." Of course, these parents were not given sodium pentothal and asked what they would do if it were their kid who was raped... because that is what it was... Rape of a 14-year-old by 17- and 18-year-olds.

1. A good read, and he nailed it.

What better way to introduce a police state than to get the public in line? How many cars with license plates saluting the military, or sporting events beginning with honor guards and huge flags before more of you out there realize that we are a nation that has completely lost its moral compass? Study the history of Germany, circa 1933-45 and see how the mirror is now looking back.

That mirror is indeed looking back at us.

6. Absolutely. I wish we had more insight into the German thoughts and feelings then and especially

of those who fought against the rise of Hitler.

People should look at the future - a climate change etc under a police state means the 99% will work but they will not be included in the benefits. If you cannot afford to eat it is not much different than being deliberately starved to death.

10. Well there is always Solyent Green.

But like Hitler's final solution it won't be long before the 1% realizes that they don't need this many people to serve their needs...no need for useless eaters.

11. Unfortunately.

3. the primitive mindset of chants of "USA USA"

We have the primitive mindset of chants of "USA USA" as we conducted our Shock and Awe campaign on Iraq... and now parts of Syria and Iraq again.

My God, Sieg Heil and Blitzkrieg.

4. Take me out to the ball game, replaced with God Bless America, military and religion replacing fun.

They are preparing the battlefield and all that stands in the way is another of those annoying Election Days.

And the "unpopular" President whose approval ratings are exactly what they were a year ago, but still "plunging"....dance, little people, dance, and stand up for the seventh inning stretch, because it is.

Ken Kesey was a visionary....and here we go again with the fascist wars and folks willfully accepting comforting lies over inconvenient truths.

5. All too accurate.....

Oh, and K&R

8. When I was a kid our chant was question authority. Now?

"...our kids, from the youngest of ages, are taught that obedience and discipline means never to question orders."

And then there was this:

"Violence has now been accepted by our leaders as the primary way to settle major diplomatic differences between nations, so why should our kids not emulate that?"

9. WAY WAY WAY interesting reading. I was drawn to other links there - such as

the one about the Pink Slip for the Progress Fairy, http://worldnewstrust.com/a-pink-slip-for-the-progress-fairy-john-michael-greer

and Dark Age America, the Hour of the Knife. http://worldnewstrust.com/dark-age-america-the-hour-of-the-knife-john-michael-greer

It's this same John Michael Greer guy. VERY interesting find.

Basically he talks about what seems to be an over-arching system of expand-and-contract. Expanding civilizations and dominant clusters of nations and peoples and minority elites. As time and trends and human conditions and movement (and their impacts on their surroundings, whether that's the environment or other nations and/peoples) continue, we are led to some rather non-surprising rises and falls. Expansions and contractions. Kind of inevitable. Like your lungs. Expansion and contraction. Like the tides. Expansions and contractions. Like human endeavor. Expansions and contractions. Like the movement of people and civilizations and empires. Expansions and contractions.

Maybe it's just all about "The Organism". However you define it. In immediate, intimate, personal terms or greater more vast outward extensions. Large or small. Micro and macro. It arises, expands, outgrows its circumstances, and eventually fails, and fades. In and out. Yin and yang. Expansion and contraction.

It's given me a lot to think about.
