SECOND DARK AGE - Reasons to be fearful Part 3

They're closing in at a phenomenal pace now.

Dogma fueled and ideologically regressive, the class and connections based elite ruling class are back in town and it's only taken 6 months or so to get to where we are now.

It is beginning to look like the last 20 years never happened.

All of those little victories culminating in a more understanding if maybe dumbed-down society now being slashed and burned through an 'oxymoron process' of stealth based shock and awe.

Smoke and mirrors. It hasn't taken long to remove the heat from the bankers and financial centres hangers-on to be forgiven or should that be forgotten.

The new demon is the old demon. Blaming previous administrations for ALL of the WORLDS ills. Spinning a web of confusion as the beast lurches from its slumber towards its sociopathic destiny, our social predestination. And all of this occurring while we sleepwalk into our futures of serfdom and systematic bondage.

We have crossed the rubicon without any knowledge of its identity or existence.

What will the resistance look like this time around? Will it even come?

More fearful than 1984, we look backward and see our futures writ large with capital Cs.

Like an intern in a national stargazey pie, we stare expresionless at death and decay in equal measure, caught at the margins of a Venn diagram, squeezed by the perpetual machine, into the void, into the vast expanse that is the 2nd dark age.

CHANGING THE DEMON'S IDENTITY

During the last few months of Tory/Lib Dem rule, there has been a steady move to redirect the wider argument of local, national and global bankruptcy.

It started out, quite rightly, with the blame laying firmly and squarely on the Bankers and other hangers on in the financial services community.

Once the Tories seized power the public were gently swayed into beleiving that it was Gordan Brown/The Labour Party that was responsible.

Almost six months on, and a budget and spending review later, the government has introduced controversial and mind bending rule changes regarding areas such as, housing benefit, taxation, child benefit etc

These marginal changes have little fiscal value but have a nasty subtext that is seized upon by the right wing media and promulgated to the general mass of the chattering classes.

All I hear from people these days are arguments that are now based on class, employment, unionisation, location, ethnicity, morality etc.

These deliberately spiteful budgetry tax and spending anomolies have conspired to succesfully erase 'The Bankers' from the mind of the people.

People are now beginning to turn against each other on the basis of race, employability etc.

If you don't believe me, just listen to any radio phone-in or TV audience debate.

It's getting like the 80's again. And it's gonna get worse. A lot worse.

Don't let them mess with YOUR MIND.
