A quick glance at some of these articles leads me to believe that we are a nation of children. And that’s “children” as-in immature, naive, juvenile. . . . At some times it looks even worse, that we’re becoming the dreaded R WORD <…retarded…>. But it is what it is, is it not? Then shut the fuck up. And grow up. We as a people need to grow the fuck up. It’s time already. Catch up with the ancient Greeks at least (who nailed it in lots of ways already!)!!! We are the most unsophisticated empire the Earth has ever seen.
The importance of this event should not be underestimated. This signals the presence of a new dark age, truly.
I, coincidentally, am involved intimately in the dynamics and themes of this darkness, as it has affected my relationship with my children because of their mother’s superstitious attitude toward life on Earth, which she inherited from her superstitious parents, particularly her mother, who likes to believe in ghosts and spirits and such.
So here we are. Where actual scientific method has been largely ruled out as something we can rely on and trust as a way of guiding us through the misty haze of evidence which is limitless. We must rely on something to guide the way, to measure what is right and wrong, what is left and right, what is odd or even. Unfortunately, despite all of the book learnin’ people have participated in over the last several decades, centuries, etc., people keep thinking that things like fragile, illogical, error-prone, synthetic belief systems such as Christianity ™ and Islam and Judaism are both relevant, important, reasonable, inherently valuable, PROVABLE, and, worst, enforceable.
Look no farther, this is the problem we face as a civilization.
Thank you so much, Rolling Stone, YouTube, Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi, Katie Halper, and everyone else who makes this happen. This is the truth nectar that we need to feed from every day, especially now in our dismal and logical conclusion.
What we need to think about is what comes next! Imagine a better future and make it happen, you guys! We can start right now, this instant, by doing the right thing, by CHOOSING to do the right thing every chance we get, and not escape accountability which seems to be the sins of our mothers and fathers that we are paying dearly for over and over and over again.
And it has taken how long to find this out??? And has anyone really learned from these lessons??? Then why do we continue to torture, and to mass-surveil?
Someone needs to stop the USA, Inc. Empire. It could be the citizens of the empire, the United Nations, other nation states, time, SOMETHING. Or just logical conclusions, which would be the suicide that we are slowly committing by our devotion to the fantasy of continual economic growth, infinite growth. What a fallacy. Stupid college kids. All of those MBAs.
Even the filthy rich will eventually get bored with this shit and decide to do something different. I hope it will happen before the decision is made for them and we are all destroyed.
But I have come to the same conclusions as Edward Snowden in pretty much everything he says in this interview. I agree wholeheartedly with his analysis of our current situation, our wannabe-democracy’s situation. I feel like he and I are brothers!!! I could very easily have been Edward Snowden. If I were in his position I hope and believe that I would have done what he did. Because it is right, and aimed at truth, and truth is our salvation.
