Frank Zappa, 1977:
The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way, and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.
I'm afraid we may be at the point that Zappa foresaw.
Listen to
Ralph Nader.
And even if not, how much better is it? The Constitution means nothing.
They have pissed all over it.
Torture by the United States Of America. Let that soak in.
Torture.
In the United States Of Fucking America.
Rampant spying on us... American citizens.
No fourth amendment protections. Those are quaint.
There's no real opposition. Hillary Clinton, the preordained? Give me a break.
The corporations control this country. Isn't that the very definition of Fascism?
We're bankrupt, and our notes are held by those saints that rule China and Saudi Arabia.
We are screwed.
Our fucking speaker of the house, Nancy Pelosi, tells us through her phony smile that "impeachment is off the table." Gutless, soulless sellouts, and worse.
Our country, our way of life, has no prominent defender left.
It is over.
The good guys have faded away, and the opportunists have surrendered.
I guess I'm a "conspiracy theorist." Because, I'm telling you, it has been a conspiracy.
The murders of JFK, MLF, RFK, John Lennon, Paul Wellstone were all connected.
Even the attempted hit on Reagan was part of it too. Because Bush Sr. wanted to be president.
Was it a mere coincedence that Hinckley's father was a long-time business partner of Bush?
Really? Give me a break.
Read about MK-Ultra, and tell me conspiracies don't exist.
And Bush Sr. is the only person I ever heard of that doesn't remember where he was when JFK was shot.
Did you hear the BBC radio piece about Prescott Bush being a part of a plot to organize a private army to overthrow FDR and the American government?
Hello! Does Blackwater ring a bell?
You are living through what the Chinese call "interesting times."
You are witnessing the end of America, in high-definition, real time.
You are seeing the culmination of a conspiracy that has been ongoing for at least eighty years, possibly since the beginning of the republic.
It's crunch time. Is there anyone left to help us?
Anyone but ourselves?
