ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

A Generation of Vipers was written a long time ago. The title is presently befitting those who have brought us the leaders of our day. A President and his Party elected on the word “HOPE”. We have a Congress and a Supreme Court bought and sold by the Viper and hope can only be had by a revolution of thought. The hope that Mr. Obama promised, is merely clever rhetoric to hide behind as he supports the same policy and policy makers as the Bush/Cheney regime.

It does not take an education in justice to see that the Media is paid by the same economic elite which concocted the award winning advertising campaign which elected our first Black President. The fact that he is a man of color makes the manufacturing of consent more insidious then usual. Appease the people of color who are suffering the most and you have over half the battle won.

Talking about marketing campaigns – the nationalism which mandates a song of allegiance be sung before every sporting event is a brilliant strategy. It keeps the public mind in the competitive spirit to support a war and troops naively giving up their lives for it.  Yes, a brilliant marketing campaign like the one the Viper promoted to elect Ronald Reagan. They made President Carter appear ineffective in his effort to return the US. hostages that were held in Iran, conveniently released the day of Reagan’s inauguration!

It will take an understanding of history for the American people to wake up and put the Viper into cages where they belong. It is no longer an election, Democrat or Republican that will do. Politics today has to become personal. Each person must educate themselves and others on the true nature of justice if we will ever again have any in the USA. The imbalance between rich and poor is too wide to hide, and once a revolution of thought becomes the topic of conversation, it won’t take long for the younger generation to defeat the Viper.

The suit and tie, the armor of the elite will finally be set aside, exposed as a uniform of hucksters and nothing more. The fear they use to control the masses will no longer be an effective tool, as the truth will light the darkness of their insecurity that wealth cannot disguise. The generation of viper will see they have nothing to fear from the honesty of the common citizen and that the way to security is giving a little more and having a little less. Finally, it will be recognized the most important things do not make money. Then perhaps unfettered, young minds will arrive at a new direction that will lift them out of the snake pit the viper have so generously left them... Enough is enough!
