Terrorism. That seems to be the word of the moment following the
colossally horrific act of violence the world watched during the Boston
Marathon.
Our nation is filled with terroristic acts from bombing abortion
clinics, to sending poison through the mail, to assault “rifling” an elementary
school. The United States is overrun with perverts and sociopaths.
To define the word terrorism: the use of violence and threats to
intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes.
The United States engages in terrorism on a regular basis. Our
government has legitimized the use of terrorism through its state run acts of
aggression against nation states, its people, and through its behavior.
We just learned, and this was no surprise, that the Bush
administration’s deniers of torture were liars.
The problem is that the U.S. engages in violent acts of
terrorism, yet we also have to acknowledge that the U.S. government has
legitimized non-lethal force of terrorism, which is used to intimidate or
coerce for specifically defined political purposes.
It begins with the radical right-wingers on the Supreme Court,
which through their legal decisions have created their own version of
non-lethal violence against average Americans. Citizens United is a significant
decision that unleashed extraordinary amounts of money into campaigns and into
advertising that is in itself violence against the average American’s way of
life. When billions of dollars are handed out to political candidates that
address the mandates authorized by the corporate elite, we have a plutocracy
that orders how the country runs its policies and laws.
Citizens United funds influential “think tanks” and lobbyists to
roam the halls of Congress muscling the people’s representatives to write
legislation that is in the best interests of the corporate elite and the 1%.
And, we have lobbyists, such as those hired by the NRA, who manipulate, coerce,
and intimidate for political purposes. That is terrorism.
President Obama spoke about how terrorism cannot keep the will
of the American people down, and how he will authorize whatever it takes to
find the actors, yet he has not done a darn thing to stop the non-lethal form
of terrorism unleashed by the megabankstas, the NRA, the Religious Right, the
Tea Party, and those in Congress that are hell-bent on controlling women all
over this nation through the closing down of women’s health clinics that
discuss abortions, or do nothing when American jobs are sent overseas to
countries that exploit workers.
The White House, the Congress, the Pentagon, the Supreme Court
and all the others spend a great deal of time oppressing hard working people
through their non-lethal forms of terrorism. The issue here is just how dulled
the American people have become to what has actually been done to them. They
accept it. The only form of terrorism that upsets them is the violent type that
we saw at Newtown, and now in Boston, yet don’t even put the pressure on their
legislators to do anything about it. Only until the violence comes knocking on their door do they open
their mouths.
People cringe when they see innocent people mowed down for no
apparent reason, yet there are reasons, although insane, that exist. The White
Supremacists have their insane reasons; the radical Christian right have their
insane reasons; the radical Israeli right have their insane reasons; the
radical Muslim right have their insane reasons; the radical Tea Party have
their insane reasons. The corporate elite have their insane reasons. Insane
reasons are everywhere. The United States is filled with perverts and
sociopaths.
Sadly, it will never end until the American people take back
their government from the perverts and sociopaths that walk the halls of
Congress—especially Congress, and stop accepting dangerous Supreme Court
nutcases that should have never been allowed to sit on the bench for the rest
of their lives!!!
