Real State of The Union

Report on the State of the Union and Progress of the Total Takeover of America by Homeland Security Occupation

In between a storm of "pretend" rhetoric about creating jobs, rebuilding America's infrastructure, cutting domestic spending, balancing the budget, ending the wars and other blatant lies, President Obama made a joke about TSA pat-downs at the expense of airport travelers everywhere during his State of the Union address. He suggested that high-speed trains wouldn't include them.

In the first sense of this joke, it is not clear if they will really build these trains, but there are already plans laid by Homeland Security to deploy TSA screening, VIPR detection squads and mobile x-ray scanners at bus and train stations, highway checkpoints, sports stadiums and shopping malls-- all in spite of public outcry over invasive "pat-downs" and excessive security checks. New waves of scanning technology could become so ubiquitous that debates and protests over pat-downs or opt-outs may well become a thing of the past. But of course, in the public eye, the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing.

The other part of the joke revolves around the background humor of the context of his comments. Like the fact that more jobs than you think will be created through TSA hiring and other security contracting, since manufacturing and other labor has been offshored under globalization while de-industrialization-by-design at home further destroys our economic foundation. Increasingly corporatized public education will sell our children out, not lift them up. Public approval is not solicited for ever-expanding DHS programs. The joke is, the President himself holds no real power. That's an illusion disguising the self-appointed elite managers steering the planned economy. Global accords, like those handed down through the UN's Agenda 21 program, will in part use high-speed trains and other lures (promoted using terms like "Smart Growth") to cripple independent travel, and with it the last vestiges of independent economy and sovereignty. Those types of decisions are never democratic, scarcely noticed by the public, rarely challenged and seldom stopped. The total cost of Homeland Security's mandate for airport security- the human and monetary costs- is astounding. Industry representatives believe that an estimated 41 million potential flyers avoided travel, not spending more than $9 billion in travel revenues due to TSA security measures and other airport inconveniences. Homeland Security has unleashed a Police State upon the people to contain them, not to protect them. That is the state of our union.

Hence, Obama nods his head to our societal fixation with "security" as we witness the American Empire crumbling in real time. Our true strongholds-- guaranteed Constitutional and God-given natural rights-- are sacrificed on the altar of hope, progress, prosperity, collectivism, safety, unity, economies of scale, etc.
