About Me

Canadian and American society has long used the corporate media to propagate its own self-righteousness. From emphasizing the divide between social classes to manufacturing scapegoats for political and economic gain. Psychological conditioning over a long period of time has led to two economically separated, yet ultimately conservative, sections of society. The first section: a small percentage of wealthy individuals who run the private sector and maintain influence over local politicians. This class pushes to undermine and control weakened third world countries through proxy regimes and hit squads which support their capitalist structures; fashioning governments into corporate assets while openly neglecting the everyday needs of the people. At the same time theyâ€™ll shamelessly blame the poor and underprivileged whenever any of their so-called â€˜economic crisesâ€™ arise. The second strata is comprised of the middle and lower classes who are often manipulated into believing that our problems stem from loose immigration laws, foreign countries, and liberal political views. Confused, scared, tired and frustrated they often label any criticism as â€˜terroristâ€™ in accordance with the Bush administrationâ€™s openly racist agenda. This sociopolitical/pathological climate is leading to our downfall, creating an egotistical and cowardly culture which believes itself righteous and therefore free to brutally coerce the rest of the world. Global cop, global terror.Iskra- Culture of Cowardice

Is the Christian Bible 100% accurate? Are all translations divine and ordained by God? Can a self-proclaiming Christian challenge its authority and still call himself a follower of Christ? That's some...
