Now with that title one would honestly think of the movie The Fifth Estate, well no. I'm not talking about anything like that at all, and to be honest I don't either condemn what he did nor do I support it. However if you think about it, we're already doing that today with social media.
Now how might you ask are we doing that? Well with the better advents of Facebook, Google+ (G+ for short), Twitter, etc, they allow people to connect faster than ever before. So instead of having to wait for a newspaper to come out with the latest news, one just has to have access to one of the above to know what's going on. Plus with smart phones, we can take photos and video and share them over the internet for just about everyone to be able to see and have a video go viral in a matter of moments. This right there is the true and real fifth estate.
One of the things that social media can do these days that seem to be either escaping some people minds or they just want to ignore it and hope that it happens to go away, is to change the course of the way governments and politics run and take place. Now there are those out there that fully understand this and try to take full advantage of it, both good and bad. However for those that think that they can control social media and what is placed out there, that right there is a fools run. After all as it has been proven time and again, the net is protected under the first amendment as free speech, and that means over all that those that want to have a voice (doesn't matter if it's the truth or not) will get to have their say.
On that note right there, the goal I for one try to make sure of is that the truth gets out there about the Republican Party and everything that they're trying to do to make sure that they can not only take over the government, but to also at the same time correct the mistake that they made before which is to get rid of the US Constitution and invoke Marshal Law and make the Bible only the law of the land. At which point, both the military and the local citizens would go completely nuts over everything that was going on.
However enough of that, for one thing the Republicans favor too much that document that they keep trashing left and right and only wish to make sure that they can do whatever they can to make sure that people believe one thing and not the only and then flip it. It's one of these reasons that there are more people changing from being Republican than actually move towards it in the first place. However more often than not, their only media outlet Fox News actually does grab the attention of those that it seeks for and when they do, they try and make sure that they get their gospel word out to their faithful followers. It doesn't always stick, but when it does, we have stupidity coming from all corners of the country.
Look the only reason why I condemn the Republican Party as much as I do, is because while Bush had been in office (and yes I'm going back to him, and you'll see a lot of people going back to him because he really did screw this nation up, him and the rest of the people that were working with him, along with those that were lobbying for him in the first place, along with all of the churches and people that shouldn't've been doing it in the first place (however that list is so bloody long that you'll be still reading this straight for the next three days tops, if not longer depending on how fast you read in the first place).), I started to look at what was really going on, and I realized that there really was some messed up things. For one trying to give more and more power to the next President (though they had been hoping for a Republican President, but lost on that note), and to take power out of the hands of Congress, doesn't matter if it happens to be the Senate or the House. The debt ending up skyrocketing, not just because of the war that was taking place, but also because the people of this nation couldn't spend anything on crap that they didn't need in the first place. Plus no matter what they kept saying, everything that they didn't want us to see we saw anyway. Take for example the original theater operation name that they had for the Iraq war; it was originally called Operation Iraqi Liberation. Yeah they realized they screwed up, and when they hoped that no one noticed, they changed it from Liberation to Freedom. Here's the hitch of that, the reason why they changed it as fast as they tried to in the first place is because the original theater name was also spelling out the real reason they had invaded in the first place, the OIL. So when they realized they screwed up, they hoped that no one would notice and they changed it over to Freedom. Yeah people noticed and started letting others notice as well. So what do you do when that happens, you try and discredit them as conspiracy people never to be taken seriously. Only problem with that little idea was that the price for fuel here in the US started going up like crazy, and that's when people started to take notice.
Now all of this took place during the first set of four years that Bush was in office for in the first place, which means that there's still the other set of four years. Well that right there is all because of the tax breaks that were supposed to do the one thing that they never really did in the first place, and that was to create jobs. Come on, trickle down was a joke that Reagan came up with to make sure that the rich could not only get their money, but also keep it as well. So with everything that Bush was doing while in office, it was continuing to screw up the country to no end. Thing was, people actually believed that the trickle down actually worked considering that Clinton had a surplus while in office. The only reason why Clinton had a surplus was because he was able to do the one thing that Republicans can't seem to do EVER, and that's balance a budget. All they seem to do is spend like crazy and then blame someone else for not balancing what they spent in the first place.
Now there's a reason why I brought up Bush once again like I've done several times in the past, and that's because we can't forget what him and the rest of the Republicans have done to this nation and will do once again if they not only keep the House, but get a hold of the Senate as well. Not only will it be bad for this nation, but with all of the players in place, it sets the country up for the biggest fall in the history of the nation, one that even I'm doubting we'll ever be able to recover from. This is why we have a fifth estate that the Republicans can't control, after all if they could control social media, then they'd have this year's midterm election in the bag. Right now they've got the news (at least with Fox News), they've got the TEA Party (which even they're regretting right now too), they've got their rich masters, and they've got the money. However the one thing that they don't have right now is you and I, voters are the one wild card for each election, and if they fully take over, in both Congress and the White House then they can be able to strip away the Constitution and fully do everything that they've been wanting to do. This is honestly something that we can't allow them to do no matter what, so come November, make sure that you vote and get rid of the Republicans once and for all.
