"The biggest cause of trouble in the world today is that stupid people are so sure about things, and intelligent folks are so full of doubts."
Something is amiss in the great nation called America. Ominous sirens warning this reality can be heard emanating loudly through invisible winds of change circulating our towns and cities. The American people are being strangulated; unbeknownst to the masses they are being transformed and conditioned, becoming the entity the elite have long sought, the culmination of decades of social engineering designed to make of hundreds of millions the slaves of times past and the automatons of the future.
Yet in this present day we find ourselves in, struggling to comprehend a world gone mad, unable to discern neither the direction we are headed nor the inevitable course time is guiding us on. It is because of what has been done to us, and is presently being done to our children, that we fail to comprehend the severity of the road that lies ahead. Quite successful have the elite become in shifting the balance of power from the masses to themselves. How, one might wonder, has this been accomplished, especially when we are the many and they the few?
It is through the dumbing down of America, the methodical destruction and purposeful elimination of the means by which a society educates and enlightens itself. The evisceration of a system that extols accountability and dialogue, opens up the gates of opportunity with the keys of ability, questions authority and seeks debate, creates a wealth of knowledge and illuminates talent and that births an informed citizenry and creates free thinking, analytical minds has been slowly implemented for the last several decades. The dumbing down of America continues into the present, unrelenting and unhindered, squashing the masses for the benefit of the elite.
A giant threat to the system is being disposed of, systematically and without remorse, making of America and its citizens yet one more cog in the engine called capitalistic exploitation of humanity.

My work presents the "dummied down" every day. I'm appalled at the lack of comprehension most Americans possess.
I thought maybe I was just getting smarter as I age however I look into my past and never was I "dumb". Nor were my peers. We were outspoken and analytical in our daily lives.
Today instant gratification reigns rampant. This is partially because of the internet. People have to do less to get information and merchandise.
What shocks me is that most people do not read the information available on the internet. When browsing a website a glance at the homepage is as far as one goes.
Entering credit card information is done thoughtlessly. Easy come, easy go is the attitude of credit.
Why is this the way? Consumerism. This is why we accept disposable junk from China. Consumerism.
Our newest generations have been bred to believe that he who has the most junk wins.
Remember after 9-11? Bush said go shopping. What did shopping accomplish? Corporate profit, record breaking credit card debt.
Now we look at our economy and feel the damage. Has the "dummied down" stopped to think about this?
Have any of the parents you know said "no" to their kid when they ask for the latest piece of junk? Absolutely not. "No" is no longer a part of a parents vocabulary.
So you see not only have the new generations been bred to consume, parents have been conditioned to go into debt for this excessive consumption.
Do you see any of this changing in the near future? Will Americans stop thinking that a University degree is all that is needed to become "smart".
I don't see any signs of hope. Maybe it's just me, I talk to people all over the world. Maybe I get a better view of people than most. I know this is harsh, but even conversations where there is a language barrier, I find it easier to have a meeting of the minds with the disadvantaged than with some Americans I talk to.
Come on Americans, its time to wise up. Think outside of the box. Actually put some thought into the things you do.
Americans first, America first
