A NEW GENERATION OF SHEEPLE (SHEEPLE: A HYBRID HUMAN, PART SHEEP LIKE IN PERSONALITY AND PART HUMAN.)
9/18/07
I watched a report this morning of a student in Florida getting pulled away from a microphone while asking John Kerry a question about why he conceded the 2004 election within 24 hours; when everyone was aware of massive voter fraud in Ohio and Florida. Before Kerry could answer, three police officers grabbed the student away from the microphone and began to take him out of the auditorum. The student resisted and shouted to the police “What did I do wrong? Why are you grabbing me?” Then as he continued to resist the police officers tasered him. No one in the auditorum came to his rescue. No one tried to stop the unlawful actions of the police. John (coward ) Kerry stood silent on stage and said nothing and allowed it to happen.
Everyone has seen or heard of these unlawful attacks by police on students and protestors , and the abusive use of tasers. What bothered me most about this incident wasn’t that the cops grabbed the student without just cause. What bothered me, was not one student or faculty member came to his aid. They all stood by, or remained in their seats, and watched this innocent victim of police abuse be manhandled, and tasered with 50,000 volts of electricity, as he screamed in agony. Kerry stood by silent. He could have stopped it immediately, and allowed the student to continue his questions. The faculty of the university could have intervened , and demanded the student be given his right to speak. The student was not violating or theatening anyone. He was merely excercising his right to free speech in a public forum.
It was obvious that the majority of the people in the auditorium were students, mostly in their late teens and early twenties. I applaud the person who took the video of the incident, but I condemn everyone else who stood by and did nothing. I condemn John Kerry for allowing it to happen without trying to stop it. The irony of all this is that Kerry is the King of Concession and the shining example of cowardly behavior. The students and faculty in attendence must have been of a liberal political leaning if they were interested in what Kerry had to say, and invited him to speak . I can’ t imagine anyone with any patriotism or integrity, inviting Kerry to speak; after the shame he brought on the American people in the 2004 election.
America has entered a period of unprecidented passivity. We now demand zero tollerance in our schools and work places, and accept our being mass mind control by the media, and the silencing of all dissent on university campasses , and high schools. American society has become a society of sheeple. A passive, self absorbed, cowardly, corrupt, consumer driven society . If that incident with the student had happened in the ’60’s and ’70s there would have been a mad rush of students and faculty running to the student’s aid. A fight would have taken place with police, arrests would have been made, and the national guard called in as tidal wave of violent protests would have swept across the campass, shouting down the abuses of a police state, and joined in solidarity by other universities around the country. A cry for Kerry’s head would have been heard around the country, his politcal career would have been ended, and he would have been mocked and condemned by every campass newspaper in the country. Today the incident is barely an issue. Students returned to their dorms and classrooms, as the only student amongst them, who had any courage and conviction, was tasered and hauled away in handcuffs. A student was arrested and tortured in front of other students and faculty for no reason; other than his asking John Kerry why he conceded within 24 hours after the election in 2004; when everyone in the world knew the vote count in Ohio, and Florida were rigged. Where is the outrage ?
Where is the individual courage, bravery, and idealism of America’s young generations , other than fighting by proxy an illegal war in Iraq ? Where are the civilian soldiers fighting to protect American freedom at home? Why is anyone tollerating this outrage of police state abuse on our campusses? What has happened to the offspring of the brave youth and committed adults who fought so valiantly for freedom and justice? It is their sons and daughters who have become silent and spoiled, so sheltered they can not think of a day in their lives without a video game , ipod, or cell phone. We allow schools to teach revisionist history and false science. We allow churches to influence curriculum and choice of faculty in public secondary schools and universities. We allow the brain drain of our teenagers lost on hard drugs and alcohol, gangster rap, and icons of lust and addiction, fame and priviledge , as Brittany Spears, Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohan , and their endless A minus list of pop stars.
Perhaps it was the baby boomers that unleashed this insanity on society, and are now to blame for the passive indifference of their children. I do not know how to reconcile our rebellion and revolution, with what has happened to the recent generations of Americans. I know that I was an angry student once, locked in a cage of conservatism in a society of war and greed. But there was an idealism, a belief that we must uphold our rights and fight for our rights against all oppression. Humanity was worth saving, the planet was worth saving, war must end, death and disease must end, hatred and bigotry must end.
We had courageous leaders then. Men and women who shouldered the burden of leadership and inspired a generation of young people to excell beyond the dreams of their parents. Beyond the dreams of any generation in history. We conquered space, we achieved 30 years of peace and prosperity. He achieved the highest standard of living in the world. Now we see the effects of the vial evil; that has stripped us of our wealth, our educational system, our health, our industry, our leadership, our vast potential and identity as citizens of the greatest country on earth. The horrid leadership of the last thirty years. The selling out of the American dream. The infiltration of church into government and insane fundamentalists, neo con and New World Order idealogues, stole our government, our wealth, our resources, and destroyed our goodwill around the world; by ceaseless war and imperial ambition . We have learned so much in the last 30 years, and yet so very little about ourselves.
We are a society enslaved by debt to globalist bankers. We are beaten down by stress, and constant demands of our families and friends, to consume more, spend more, be rich, forget those who are struggling to make a living, stuggling to afford health care, stuggling to fight oppressive government. We ignore those who are fighting to make others aware of what is going on around them, and the danger we face as a society. We ignore activists fighting to preserve our fragile planet, fighting to prevent our extinction on a planet that is going through dramatic and devastating climate changes. Passivity and indifference threatens the lives or our children and future generations. The alarm is sounding loudly, and we can not wait any longer to wake up.
Pacifism is not cowardice, nor is it indifference. It is a commitment to non violence. I am not a pacifist. I believe in peace and good will toward men, but I am a realist , who is certain; that all who remain passive in the great shadow of darkness, and evil, now engulfing this this planet will perish . All who remain indifferent to the suffering of others, the wave of injustice and corruption sweeping the globe causing genocide, the evironmental destruction of the planet, and the enslavement , poverty and misery of billions of peoplewill also suffer greatly, and are now suffering greatly from their lack of concern.
