OP-ED : 2 cups of coffee
My day usually starts at 5 a.m. , on weekends I am lazy and sleep until the late hour of 7 a.m. , after my wake up routine I get my first cup of coffee and then peruse the news globally , all in the hopes that somewhere somehow mankind has shown kindness , warmth and caring for fellow human beings.
As well as this site I am on another site that allows me to talk with other people across the world and get real time news and events , some of these people do so at peril to their own lives . You see they live in tyrannical countries where every move is watched , every word listened to , all aspects of their daily lives under close scrutiny to insure they are not subversive " to the people ."
I hear about people who don't have food , any food , and they literally subside on what they can forage . In a lot of instances it is pretty gross , not to mention the dangers to their health and lives. Parents go without eating to give what little they have to their starving children , sanitation is nothing more than a dream to them. The idea of clean water is a sincere wish and desire , hope for them no longer springs eternal.
Then I talk with those who do have it slightly better , however slightly is a huge over statement . You see they are lucky because they have jobs , some food , not scavenged out of trash , the street or rotting heap amassed awaiting pick up. You see they work 12 to 14 hours a day making things , from clothes to electronics , The Gap , XBOX , PlayStation , Apple , and even prepackaged food " stuffs" . All for the whopping rate of $30.00 a day , yes sir ree buddy living large now. Add to that while this adult is spending so much time in factories with poor ventilation , they are also sharing quality time with their kids age 9 and older . Yep they got their youngins a job to , ain't that awesome. Oh and better make your quota or Wal-Mart will cut back on it's orders and we'll have to let some of you go.
Don't be critical of the government or it's policies as you may wind up dead , or at the very least in prison at hard labor making consumer goods for American retailers . Family , friends , critics , disappear in the dead of night and no one seen or heard anything , later it's disclosed they had a " medical disorder " and are at a treatment facility until they are "better . In a lot of countries homelessness is a criminal act , it's ok to be homeless just not in public . If you require serious medical attention , well let us just say you have better odds of winning the power ball . If your women are raped or you are assaulted don't file a complaint or YOU will face charges for stirring up hate speech and inciting violence . If you have shelter , don't complain , even though it doesn't have heat and vermin infested . Hey at least your not homeless, quit complaining and be grateful your government is looking out for you , you ungrateful bastard !
2nd cup of coffee :
Global food shortages , one third of the pacific ocean contaminated by radiation , severe weather destroying cities , crops wiped out by weather , blight , and drought . Economic hardships across the globe so bad even the central bankers are worried and scared . Let us not forget the resurgence of bacteria and viruses that are now immune to medications .The implementation of Nazi era policies , death panels now here in the U.S.A. , corporations now decide who gets what type of health care and what type of treatment and last but not least there is actually no more rule of law . It's now the law of force !
My one ray of hope and sunshine ? I am not a sheeple , I am a prepper with a very shiny tin foil hat .
