It's Just Abbey

It is interesting to live in a time of such ramped paranoia. Everyone is worried that the government is sitting around thinking of fun new ways to take away our personal rights. Each person is under the impression the government is out to get him or her.

As I've stated several times before, we are also a culture of narcissistic twats. This constant fear that everyone is out to get you is proof enough of that theory. The government isn't after you as an individual. They are simply looking to control the masses. They want to herd us and manipulate our group think processes. But no one seems to see the biggest issue we face. Its not communism, socialism, socialize health care, gay marriage or abortion.

The government is constructing a robot army.

Think about it. Every military commercial tells you how the US is working hard to keep our troops off the front line. Unmanned jets, remote controlled machines to defuse bombs, etc. They constantly tell us about the crazy new weapons they are developing. They are advancing in computer technology with increasing speed. They are flaunting it in our face that they are developing state of the art warfare under the veil of national protection. They have other plans for that tech, and it isn't for the well being of the troops.

But we are in a recession. There isn't a lot of money to go around. With all the bailouts and freebies they are handing out it is hard to keep any to themselves. The government is stuck with super computers and the best technology on the planet without being able to use it to their advantage. They can only use it to the means they say they do. Bummer.

Then a light bulb clicked on with the Obama administration. Cash for Clunkers. Of course! Its so simple! Offer Joe Schmoe money for his “gas guzzling” truck and give him a shiny new hybrid in its place. Hell, offer him $4500 off that car too. Those suckers will eat it right up. Then, take his old car and tell him its going to be scrapped out and destroyed. Gotta get those demon cars off the road right? Using our “Go Green” slogan against us.

Except Joe's car isn't going to a junkyard or to a scrap shop. Oh no. Its going straight to the government so they can part it out themselves. Strip down the clunkers for major parts and equipment. Its as easy as that for them to collect the materials they would need to create a robot army or two.

So now they have your heavy duty car/truck and you are in some wimpy little coupe. Advantage: government.

But don't forget the ban on assault weapons and the threat of a ban on all guns. Who are they protecting exactly? Well you can be sure as hell they aren't concerned with us gunning each other down. As they saw their time for robotic dominance approaching they started to not only strip us of our measly weapons but also distract us by going backsies on the Constitution. As they build their weapons they take ours. If our government knows how to do one thing, it is how to take an already unlevel playing field and make it even more so.

So there it is. As we sit here and squabble amongst ourselves about our values and personal opinions our leaders are creating a robot army to not only serve their own agenda (like getting rid of pesky countries that don't like or agree us) but to also keep us all in check. It is so much easier to rally the masses with a 60 foot death machine with machine gun arms and a flamethrower face.

So listen up America. Either stop trading in your clunkers or use that $4500 to strap some circular saws to the front of your Prius. The real war is coming. And it has horrible fuel economy.
