The absurdity of America today never ceases to amaze. In fact, it has
become so elaborate that one might even suggest it has reached a kind of
poetic symmetry. When a protest group is willing to stick their necks
out to expose the horror of the National Defense Authorization Act and
its open door strategy for unconstitutional arrest and indefinite
detainment of American citizens, I have to stand up and applaud. This
is the kind of protest we need to see all over the country. Of course,
any establishment system which is willing to dissolve the inherent
liberties of its citizens certainly isn't going to stand by quietly
while they blatantly point out the injustice. The Grand Central
Terminal action featured in the video below is a perfect example of the
swift and immediate stifling of peaceful dissent by an increasingly
totalitarian government:
Responses to the event vary. Most people who have actually been exposed
to the facts on the NDAA have expressed utter disgust and fury.
Rightly so. Some, however, have taken the old elitist mantra,
perpetuated effectively by the Neo-Cons in their heyday, that if you are
not for the system, then you are a danger to society. Not
surprisingly, there are still plenty of useful idiots out there buzzing
about like parasites in search of blood.
Is it right to crush free speech as long as the message is offensive to
you personally? Do peaceful protestors really present a legitimate
threat to our national stability? Are they truly more dangerous than a
corrupt government hellbent on assassinating the legal protections of
our natural rights which have existed for centuries? Would any
supporter of the jackboot methodology like to explain to me in a
coherent manner why they believe their skewed world view should be
shielded from sincere questions? Please, I can't wait to witness the
kind of ridiculous mental gymnastics required to make such arguments
palatable. If this kind of ignorance wasn't so destructive, it might
actually be entertaining.
