American
Propaganda Assimilates Another Big Bad Wolf
The
tactics of crash and burn oil exploitation is a well known method of
extracting wealth and resources from under-represented and badly
governed regions and countries of the world. The most recent efforts
were well documented, Iraq was the most heavily televised war
campaign since film recording began. With images, graphics and
extensive footage being shown on You-Tube, mainstream media channels
and sources as varied as international reporting, official military
recordings.
With the
recent viral epidemic of the Kony 2012 video on You-Tube, Facebook
and other social media platforms, Alex Jones of Inforwars.com reveals
that not all the middle Americans are buying the fact that another
despot in the developing world needs to be absconded by the American
military machine. Interviewed live on the street, many questioned
about the quality of the video said that it was good that celebrities
endorsed it and that taking this guy out was a “major priority.”
It was later revealed that the character in question may have been
missing for up to 6 years, and the video itself goes on to ask for
funding for a project which has little to do with the region or the
capture of the portrayed villain.
So what
it the agenda here you might ask? Some may say that the recent
discovery of oil on the borders of Uganda and Democratic Congolese
Republic indicate the reason for a heightened interest. One might
even speculate that the exact use for the video might be to enable
President Obama to be guaranteed another term of office through
military and moral support for such endeavours as to capture this
villain. Which ever the reasoning, it is obvious that the ability
for internet viral campaign to be incendiary and to target possible
political and financial gains is emotionally and psychologically
disturbing.
We should
ask ourselves are we evolving into a new species, or are we
de-evolving from our potential, and if our potential for betterment
is limitless, what are our current limiting factors? As technology
has grown and our dependence on it is evident, what will happen if
the continued greed for “more” results in there being more for
less people, not only in current human society but in the global
future. For the last dozen millennia humanity has been driven
towards survival, through varying archetypes, societies, spiritual
and demographic changes, and now we are approaching a global age, an
age of constant connection and awareness for those who are “plugged
in” to the techno-sphere, and can help shape the dawn of collective
consciousness.
Civilizations
rise and fall, but tribal tendencies have shown that communities grow
and shrink, but the stable ones are those are often cut off from
their surroundings for periods or have a shared perspective and aim,
a shared goal or belief. Although these tribes may be happy for a
short while, they often result in extremism or eccentricity when
looked at externally or presented with extreme environments. As the
underlying drive for survival should be replaced with a need for
conserving nature and resolving the conflict caused by unnatural
processes of superfluous systems of biased language, currency and
de-constructive corporate and military agendas, which are causing a
growing rift between societies animal like entities and its ideal
state of balance and harmony in existence.
