The antic of a materialistic democracy

A peace nobel prize winner who boasts of the assassination of an enemy and is praised for that - what a bizarre and abhorrent caricature...


Does this show that it is impossible to be on top of this giantic money and paower agglomeration called USA without being swallowed by it? It is not possible or useful to look inside a person or to diagnoze someone from distance. But many ideas which Obama addressed at the beginning of his presidency showed a view which pleasently contrasted the brutal logic of violence of the predecessing administration. Without a basic understanding of systemic consciousness, Obama would not have been able to formulate such insights.

Now, after two and a half years in service, we see the most powerful man in the world drunken by his power. He has ordered the assassination of the evil guy as such personally, he has watched  personally (although the connection broke up) as his great killer squad carried out his deadly order. Revenge has been done, the hero has proven his courage and ruthlessness, noone ever can call him a wimp. Of course, the war goes on, but all Americans can be proud of their leader who will protect them from all evil with his unlimited power.

The pay for the hero: The masses cheer and like him as never before. The price: credibility, integrity, human dignity - these are qualities which do not represent a calculable value in a democracy which is run by materialism. When one wants to take part in the gambling of a giantic casino named USA (most prominent among many others), one has to stick to the rules, and they are: All and everyone is purchasable. Your personal value is calculated in numbers, money or opinion polls. All action has one goal: To maximize money or poll data. By this, a cold blooded and exactly calculated murder is justified in any sense.

The fatal fact is that the enemy in the game thinks likewise. Also for them, any means is justified to bring the own case to victory. Although they might not be able to shoot the president in his sleeping room, they can destroy the status symbols of his power apparatus, some skyscrapers, ambassies, shopping centres.

And we, the little pawns in the game, can have a look at this scenario, either with pleasure or with disgust, like the fight of two boxers with all dirty tricks allowed, given that the adversary is hit, weakend and finally destroyed. If there were not the slight chance that we ourselves have to pay, when a bomb explodes on our walkway or we get evaporated by a collateral damage of a precision attack.
