The Ghosts Inside the Machine

by Anthony Wade

There is a machine operating behind it all in America. It drives policy and outcomes. It drives legislation and the continued deterioration of culture and society. It buys what, and who it needs to ensure that it continues to be fed. It exists for the sole purpose of its continued existence and power. It absolutely owns the mainstream media and wields it masterfully as a weapon of mass distraction and destruction. It desires that America continue down the path of least resistance. It requires the people to care more about who won the last American Idol than who won their last Congressional race. It requires that 50% of the people do not even bother to vote for the very elected officials that will shape and decide their futures. We use terms like “corporate media” and “part of the machine” when discussing political matters but rarely do we truly examine what these terms mean. That is how the machine wants it and too often we play right along. ..........

.................The issue is not the labels the media wishes to put on people like Dr. Paul. If you wish to call him libertarian, fine. All I know is a see someone who doesn’t partake in the trappings of the corruption offered by the machine. He opts out of the plush pension plan for congresspersons and does not keep any unused monies. He speaks things that are not in the script. The machine has a script. They tell the republicans to speak about bombing Iran while they tell the democrats to speak about getting out of Iraq. They tell the democrats to speak about national healthcare while they tell the republicans to speak about socialized medicine. Seriously, next time you watch a primary debate listen to what they are saying America. It is all the same. There are nuanced differences but the script is the same. They are clearly delineating the two sides the machine is offering you this time around.
