Hedges vs Obama

.

If you were to ask anyone what is the NDAA and its importance on the body politic, I am willing to bet that you will get a deer in headlights gaze and a shrug of the shoulders thrown in to amplify the cool igorance and apathy. It is not entirely the fault of the average citizen to not know what is being done in their name. The local news programs, newspapers and radio stations, mostly controlled by big corporate interests with deep ties to the military-industrial-entertainment complex, have as their main function the task of keeping us distracted, redirected . Let's waste precious time talking about Beyonce's Super Bowl performance or Kim Kardashian's baby bump or the Manti Te'o's hoax -- as if this information has any meaning whatsoever - rather than thinking & talking about issues that have a direct bearing on our lives like the NDAA.

Big up to Chris Hedges, Noam Chomsky & the other plaintiffs in this pivotal case. Many people are loath to say anything critical about Pres. Obama since he has become a historical figure of sorts being the first African-American president in US history & the fact that he appears to be such a good-natured individual. Politics should never be centered on a charismatic personality - look at Germany in the 30s & the personality cult centered around Hitler. Not to equate Obama with Hitler, my point is that when we as citizens stop paying attention to the things that matter, we will continually get punk'd - no matter how "nice" we think our leaders are.
