I'm sure by now my blog sounds very cynical and negative, but I'd just like to say that this is not my outlook. It's easy to say that my views sound very conspiracy theorish if you look at these facts individually, but if you put everything together in the big picture, it's easy to see that it truly is a conspiracy by a wealthy and powerful elite to gain more control of just those things, wealth and power. And if you still don't believe in it, simply ask the question: Historically, have people tried to do just that? Of course the answer is yes. Alexander the Great, Julius Casesar, Genghis Kahn, Napoleon Bonaparte, and Adolf Hitler are just a few of these people. Is it logical to say that in the past fifty years that's changed? Definitely not, it's just taken on a new face.
Now to my negative outlook. I do highlight negative things simply because outrages demand attention. I believe the first step to change is awareness, and I try my best to spread the true facts and encourage others to stop relyiing so much on this business controlled, propagandic media machine to deliver the facts to them. I am not negative about the way the world is headed. I used to be, but now when I see one hundred to two hundred thousand people protest tuition rate hikes in Quebec, or thousands of people gather to demonstrate for the justice of Trayvon Martin. These protests are part of a greater movement that is sweeping the world, the demand for change that is taking place on the streets and in the parks. Not even during the Vietnam War were anti war protests so strong as they were against the Iraq War. I look at these events as signs of hope, hope that we can achieve a better future for ourselves and for our children.
