tin foil hat time

Crazy long (I actually used to enjoy this song) song and story, but follow the lyrics it's like 1984 now with the Government and God

from lyrics:
And that's the way it was
And that's the way it is
And that's the way it's probably gonna be



Tonio K - The Ballad Of The Night The Clocks All Quit and the Government Failed

Gather 'round people gonna tell you a tale
'Bout the time that the clocks all quit and the government failed
Back when the agents tracked all the postmen down
And they found all they needed to know in the second-class mail
And then hauled off everyone 'cept for me and a couple of friends
They forgot in the Nottingham jail

Now that jailor, he saw all the smoke in the air
And he wished he was there
'Stead of inside watching our cell
So we said "Go do your share, we ain't goin' nowhere"
He agreed, grabbed his gun with a smile and then wished us all well
'Fore he got to his car, we had cut through the bars
Snuck outside and sat back just to watch
'Til the curtain fell.

Now the first thing I noticed when we hit the street
Was the Seventh Fleet
They was cruisin' the center of town
No one seemed real clear 'bout who had sent them there
But they sure looked grand
With the band, the balloons and the clowns
And they played "Anchors away" for the rest of the day
'Cept the times that they'd lower their guns
And shoot some renegade down

Yes and John the Baptist and Uncle Sam
They were carryin' the plans
For some new kind of object of faith
When this renegade band with their guns in their hands
Stopped them both and demanded a look
In the top secret case
But just in the nick of time
Those renegades were stricken blind
By a low flying plane with no name and no number to trace
But just the same John lost his head
And he said he was going to run
But someone held him down and Sam tied up his hands
He cried out to his boss but he couldn't get across
'Cause the lines were all down
And the crowd cheered him on from the stands
But he finally did get away
You can see him today
He sells silver plates and still waits
For the boss to call back

And Attila the Hun and his Austrian son
Left their hideout in Rio to fly out and relive the past
Sam he showed 'em around when they got into town
But he warned 'em the rules had been changed
Since they'd played the game last
Ol' Attila just grinned and winked at his friend
I forget what went down after that
It all happened so fast

Yes it was lookin' real bad, any luck that we'd had
Had been lost in the park after dark
When the army arrived
They was sweeping the town chasing renegades down
There were no friends to be found
There was no place at all left to hide
And the Austrian son he was having some fun
He'd been put in command of the camps
And his prisoners all died ...

Meanwhile
Way across town
In the penthouse suite of the tallest building
The boss was asleep
When he heard such a clatter
He sprang from his bed
Just to see what was the matter
He looked down on the street
And that scene filled his eyes
But you know he wasn't even surprised
He just got on the phone
And he ordered some thunder
Some lightning and disk blades
(To plow it all under)
Someone asked why
With a sigh he explained
That the fools was up doin' it again

Meanwhile back on the street:
This clown in a gown and fur hat
With tattoos on his shoulders
Comes over and whispers
"It's gonna be alright"
He says he's a personal friend of the boss
And then asks if we've got any sheep
He can sacrifice later that night
We said "No" he said "Oh"
And then he wandered off
Chanting some strange sounding language
And waving his wand at the sky

Sam and Attila were gettin' their fill
Of the action and danger
They'd burned every manger in town
And Ol' John's eyes were hazy
He must have gone crazy
He was runnin' around tryin' to drown
Everybody he found
Yes and the Austrian son was still having his fun
Launching V-2s at anything moving or making a sound

Bright and early next morning without any warning
The sky opened up
And the boss stuck his head through the clouds
The Army and Navy they opened up fire
But he grabbed him that lightning
And layed them all under the ground
Sam jumped up to salute
The boss said "That's real cute
But it's a little bit late
'Cause I've seen what's been going down"
Sam said "You've got it all wrong
It's them that you want and not me
Can't you see that that's Attila and the Austrian kid?"
The boss said "Yes that's true
But I also want you
Do you think that I'm blind?
Did you think you could keep yourself hid?"
And just then the clown in the gown hit the ground
And started kissing his feet
But he stepped on his tongue
And said "Who is this kid?"

And that's the way it was
And that's the way it is
And that's the way it's probably gonna be

And after all this happened you know this
Huge flock of birds of prey swept down on the debris
And I was listenin' and my friends from the Nottingham jail was listenin'
And I swear to ya them birds was goin'...
I didn't know what to make of it
But I present this story and you can take it for whatever you think it's worth, man
So much...

I just don't think that this is a tin foil hat thing...this stuff is happening. You would be foolish to believe that there are some (military and civilian alike) that would have no issue oppressing the general public.

I was going to say where's Jack when you need him? Nicholson.

It's going to be a rude awakening.

Watch that documentary. I am sure it will hit home.

It tells the story from the beginning of how Hitler even rose to power, all the way to escalation.

THANK GOD.

I thought you were going to say Jack Reacher.

You don't know Jack

Oh, come on, man, that video is all right-wing BS paranoid extremist propaganda

Can't happen here.  This is the US.  We have the Bill of RIghts to protect us against that kind of garbage.

And the next thing you hear from these whack-jobs is that the Second Amendment isn't about hunting, and that it's there to guarantee the other rights.  Well, that's exactly why we have a two-party system and a checks and balances form of government  --to protect our rights.

Let's face it, anyone who falls for that bull manure is just a tool of the right-wing disinformation machine and should be thrown off the board!

Please excuse me for playing the part of the broken record:



But I truly implore you guys to watch this.

See what happens to the civilians. Even includes gun confiscation.

The above is the first 10 minute segment.

One of the problems with the 'net is that you get these folks who automatically, without thinking, just throw out that "Godwin's Law" thing whenever the events between 1930 and 1945 are recalled and compared to modern history.

Some of us would do well to do a little closer examination of that "ancient history" between those years that we old farts sometimes cite.

Ya, and I am not even that old!

Just because you're paranoid does not mean they aren't out to get you.  Same for Godwin's Law.  Making a comparison to Nazis or Hitler when appropriate is NOT grounds for automatic dismissal:

Godwin's law applies especially to inappropriate, inordinate, or hyperbolic comparisons of other situations (or one's opponent) with Nazis – often referred to as "playing the Hitler card". The law and its corollaries would not apply to discussions covering known mainstays of Nazi Germany such as genocide, eugenics, or racial superiority, nor, more debatably, to a discussion of other totalitarian regimes or ideologies, if that was the explicit topic of conversation, since a Nazi comparison in those circumstances may be appropriate, in effect committing the fallacist's fallacy. Whether it applies to humorous use or references to oneself is open to interpretation, since this would not be a fallacious attack against a debate opponent.

This one, Part 2 of the apocalypse series, deals with der Führer's incremental grabs toward absolute power.
