Entry: Taking Back Our Children Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/taking_back_our_children#5180 Post contents: What the state desires more than anything over it's people is control and power. To gain this much desired control the state uses a number of public institutions. Education, the court system, and wars are the three most popular. The mainstream media should also be included in this. OUr court systems, especially family court, set up an adversarial situation between parents that benefits no one and leaves children more susceptible to become prey of the state and it's education system. The destruction of families is also a benefit to the principal capitalist owners of government. Parents become enamored of buying things for their children in place of quality time and love, especially parents in an adversarial relationship. I have seen some cases where an orgy of consumerism replaces parenting altogether. Having worked with boys in a detention setting I have often observed just how obsessed with consumerism they have become. Their whole lives revolve around designer clothes, cars, and popular culture. Every one of these boys is a product of a broken home, public institutions, and mass media. It is fascinating to observe the interrelationship between between the military, the mass media, and public education. War and killing is promoted in all three of these outlets. In Orwell's 1984 it was constant state of war that was used to promote love of big Brother. Blind patriotism at all costs is the message. It is used to sell products, movies, and the new big player is war video games. How better to dehumanize your enemy than to make him into pixels on a tv screen? The television has become a joke promoting anti-catholic rhetoric on almost every channel in every program. The ones I find most insulting and dangerous are those that pretend to be scientific in nature but are running a serious anti-Christian agena. Archaeologists digging up Jesus's grave? The intent of course to deny Jesus' divinity. The church needs to step forward and demand a boycott of all media until they clean up their act and stop using the airways to promote their anti-Christian agenda. Sent at: 2008 11 22
