The United States of Pretend. I once thought only children believed in fairy tales and make believe.
The United States of Pretend.

It never ceases to amaze me just how far into the depths of pretend we must all go in order to keep the lies going.

I now live in a world where everything I was told, is a non reality. It was all pretend, it was a fiction, a non truth.

I've read thousands of articles lately about the corruption, the lying, and the deception of what all of our lives have become, or what our nation has become. It now seems to me at this point in my life that it is all a fiction now at this point. None of it is real. Many have pointed this out with quotes like, "The Emperor has No clothes".

So what precisely is the point I am driving at. I am saying that it is all an illusion, none of it is real, it is all fiction. Those who have power, are only pretending to have power. Those who have money, have nothing other than little pieces of paper with green ink, or perhaps some stocks in silver they don't and can never own. Perhaps they worked their entire lives for a pension they will never get. Paid into a social security system that is bankrupt. Have their money in a bank that can take their money, say it evaporated and never give it back. They Drive a car that they will never be free to own, live in a house they have to pay on for the rest of their lives. Live under laws that the government doesn't follow themselves. WOrk for money that is printed by a private family, that is controlled from outside the country whose flag they go and fight for. We fight for freedom, and human rights, yet we have neither. We fought against fascism, and by the very definition of the word, have all become fascists. We were scared out of our minds about the escalation of communism, and now have open communists serving in our government. We are told that freedom is about the freedom of the collective and that we must protect the minorities, yet the smallest minority of them all, is the individual. We work our entire lives to pay into a system that prints money out of thin air. Think about that, we work, earn money printed by a private family, and then turn around and pay that money straight back to the people who created it.

In short,
We pretend to be free

We pretend we are wealthy

We pretend that we elect our representatives

We pretend that the media isn't corrupt and bought

We pretend that we have a right to privacy when we have none

We pretend that we are fighting a war on terrorism, yet we are arming the same people we call terrorists.

We pretend to have a constitution

We pretend to have a bill of rights

We pretend to have laws that lock up the criminals

We pretend to go and fight and kill in the name of freedom

We pretend a private family can print an infinite amount of money

We pretend we own our house

We pretend to own our cars

We pretend that our lives have meaning, that in the end, everything we worked a lifetime for, won't be stolen

We pretend the stock market is a free capitalist market

We pretend that the government didn't do fraudclosure

We pretend that MF Global never happened

We pretend that the 30,000 drones to fly over our heads is for our own protection

We pretend that all the bullets that the government is buying are not for us.

We pretend that we are not the most spied upon nation in the history of mankind

We pretend to have laws, and that those laws are for justice.

We pretend that the medical industry wants to make us healthy

We pretend that the department of energy wants to give us free, or cheap energy, and not enslave us and keep those things from us.

We pretend that the education department isn't trying to brainwash us

We pretend that In God We trust on the back of the money means our god, and not theirs.

We pretend that to have fair and open elections

We pretend that the fools they place in front of us are not selected

We pretend that corporations are not corrupt, that they don't control our nation

We pretended that NAFTA and the exportation of all of our jobs over seas was for the benefit of our nation

We pretend that we have secured boarders

We pretend that the TSA is there to catch the Muslim Terrorists.

We pretend that the NSA isn't listening to all of us.

We pretend that the government isn't the largest corporation on earth, the most corrupt corporation on earth

We pretend that invading nations who never attacked us is somehow for freedom

We pretend that it is ok to assassinate our own citizens with drones, including a 17 year old us citizen.

We pretend to have a right to a fair trial of our peers, even though they passed the NDAA

We pretend the patriot act was for our protection

We pretend that sense consolidated power has let us down, that consolidating it into even fewer hands in answer to the problem

We pretend that we are not enslaved to a system that we no longer want to be a part of

We pretend that we are free, but the truth is, you are not free to opt out of this nightmare

We pretend that the silver markets are not manipulated in order to protect the dollar

We pretend that these assholes have our consent when none of them do

We pretend the police are their to keep the peace when they are their to enforce laws that are dictated to us

We pretend that Obamacare was anything but a decree handed down by a monarchy who has exempted themselves from the same law

We pretend to be surprised whenever everything the politicians tell us are lies

We pretend to shut down the government, but the police state then goes into over drive, the whitehouse doesn't close, but they wall off parks with signs that were ordered months in advance

We pretend that the debt doesn't matter

We pretend that wall street is a great investment, and our
wealth and power

We pretend that wall street isn't manipulated beyond belief even though it goes up on bad news, and everyone says they are waiting to see what the Federal Reserve is going to do for the day to see if stocks are going up or down. They are waiting for private families who print money out of thin air, to see what they will do, and that is the determining factor of the wealth and power of the supposed greatest nation on earth?

We pretend to be the greatest nation on earth

We pretended to be friends with the same people we spied upon

We pretend to want honesty, but attack anyone who is a whistle blower against the corruption.

We pretend that if you have a uniform and kill someone, it is justified.

We pretend that if you have a flag, and someone has told you to go and take something from someone else anywhere in the world, that is justified.

We pretend that we are fighting for democracy and installing puppet governments

We pretend the war in Libya was not about a gold backed currency

We pretend the war in Syria was not about oil, and the petro dollar

We pretend the courts are fair, and that if you go there you will find justice, but you never do.

We pretend that someone will come along and fix this, but you don't understand there is no longer a foundation to any of it. Just as the emperor had no clothes it would be like asking someone to repair the clothes that he does not have.

We fight in their wars and lose body parts, kill fellow humans, go to work every day, and you are not working, fighting for, money, dollars or freedom. You are transferring your personal power to an elite group of a few people. You have stopped being an individual, you have given them your lives, and your childrens lives. Those numbers aren't for your benefit, they are to label you, track you, and control you. You are a prisoner in your own nation!

We pretend

It's all pretend!

It is all make believe!

Those who claim to have power, have nothing other than what you consent and give them by your constant childish pretending in order to go along with it. Usually you have agreed to support the lie, because they have rewarded you with promises, and they pretend they can give it to you, and you realize that if you stop believing in the lie, you won't get the reward, and your entire life will have been nothing more than pretend.

So, you support the lie, because it is too painful for you to admit that it isn't reality.

It is too painful for you to understand that what you have purchased was a something that doesn't exist.

You are a slave, and that is the reality behind the pretend.

You are owned
You have nothing, and own nothing that cannot, and will not be taken from you in order to protect those at the top.

Addressed to: The willing fools of the United States of Pretend

(Free thoughts about freedom that you are free to re-post anywhere you like. Use any of my phrases you like. Feel free to edit and improve at your own personal discretion should you feel I left something out.)

Re: The United States of Pretend. I once thought only children believed in fairy tales and make believe.

 Quoting: Occasionally Swears


The mask is always intended to hide the reality.

Wall Street is a Mask hiding financial lies

Government is a Mask hiding a corporation

Our currency is a Mask hiding a private family who prints it.

Our freedom is a Mask hiding the chains that make us a slave to a system we have no option to opt out of.

A uniform is a Mask
A law is a Mask
A court is a Mask
A flag is a Mask

I would agree with you.

It is the Mask that covers the lie, or the (Pretend), the fiction, the non reality.

Re: The United States of Pretend. I once thought only children believed in fairy tales and make believe.
I look at supposedly the most intelligent and brightest we have to offer get on television (tel-u-a-vision) and put on a show pretending to represent a party that is an elephant, or the party which is the donkey.

How much more pretend than that can you get.

Are you a donkey little boys and girls?

Or are you an elephant little ones?

It's time to pick our animal for play time, and you can play along.

Tonight, John is the elephant, and Bob is the Donkey!

Both say they are for freedom, yet you have none left. but if you pick one of the over and over again, someone will eventually let you out of your cage.

Play Pen. No, those bars are their for your own protection, there is alot of bad things out here that might harm you, the boogie man who we gave guns to in Syria, and Mexico might come and get you, so we will forever watch over you, to keep baby comfy and warm!

We pretend to elect those who represent us, yet you have never had an election for those who sit on the Federal Reserve, those who represent you at the United Nations, or anyone representing you at the IMF, or World Bank.

Banks have all become part of the Government through bailouts, did you get to vote for any of them?

Didn't think so, and that is if you even believe that the elections we have are actually fair, and you don't think you are voting for frauds and puppets put in front of you.

Just look at congress, and the senate, and tell me that those people are the best we can do.

 Quoting: Northman


Pretend they won't come for you
Pretend when your neighbors disappear you will still be fine
Pretend when they put you in a camp, or a ghetto that it's just for a short time
Pretend when they take you to the rail road, that you are going on vacation and getting to travel
Pretend when you get to the camp, that it is fun to be with people like you.
Pretend that whenever you are starving you are at a resort for weight loss
Pretend when they strip you and take you to the showers that it is fun to be naked
Pretend when the gas opens up that you are just going to take a nap for a short time.

Oddly enough that might be the best strategy.

Just keep pretending my friend, I'm not saying nothing bad won't happen, but you will pretend that it is for the good, so it won't matter I guess.

Good post - could use a little editing but great concept and high marks for style and structure.

I think that this fits well with several operating metaphors in 21st century America:

Both the vampire and now the zombie have been predominant in american pop culture.

Both are forms of the undead.

Perfect metaphors for late stage capital failure America - essentially we are dead and we don't even known it or using your locution we pretend to be alive and that everything's normal when the fact of the matter iz that we - our system and way of life - are already dead.
