Those with an ounce of skepticism will keep their eye on the ball – money and power focused in the middle east saber-rattling over a 20-year old “Iran will have nukes in two years” mantra that still isn’t working because of the gigantic economic shift in global clout:

Don’t ever forget BRICS.

Just about every single media outlet has been plastered with “shutdown” propaganda. It’s so thick that you can almost feel their fear, which is, Americans may not really give a sh*t.

I know that in my circle, I haven’t heard even the slightest peep about it. Not even for conversation’s sake. No one has said, “Hey did you hear about….?”

Nothing!

Tom DiLorenzo echoes:

No one I’ve been around gives a crap. No one is talking about it but the “media,” who are worse propagandists than any who worked for PRAVDA under Soviet communism.

800,000 government “workers” not receiving their pay? Why on Earth does the government have 800,000 workers to begin with? And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The federal government employs millions!!

Did Americans forget what Thomas Jefferson put in the Declaration of Independence?

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

If Jefferson only had the ability to know what would become of the American federal government….and the hoards that are sent out to harrass everyday Americans.

Government jobs are not productive jobs! They sap resources from those in the private economy who are desperately trying to solve urgent problems. Not to mention the never-ending regulations that these “jobs” end up throwing on everyone’s backs.

The media cries crocodile tears for the 800,000 who are furloughed, by not one single word for the rest of us, who have money literally forced out of our bank accounts to pay them. Where’s our sympathy? Guess what? We would have done something else with our money.

The federal government is being held “hostage” and “blackmailed” the media cries. Oh really? Guess what happens to a person who doesn’t “pay up” every Apr. 15th?

You know, whenever there’s a major crisis, Americans are very quick to open their wallets to donate. Whether it be Hurricane Sandy, or even a Tsunami in Japan, private charities get to work and multi-millions are routinely donated by the American public. Americans know when to be sympathetic, and when to give.

The media during this “shutdown” is just begging for people to care!

So, just for fun, I did a quick Google Search to see if anyone is taking donations to help out with this “shutdown”. I came up empty-handed. Google had nothing! No one has said anything on Facebook or Twitter either…which always occurs during a real crisis…
