NFL Football Is Back (To Distract) – Financial Collapse and 9/11 Anniversary
Tuesday, July 26th, 2011That whole barely-mentioned-in-the-mainstream-media-adding-20,000-troops thing… Don’t worry folks. That’s just Plan B or C.
Plan A is distraction. “Give them food and give them sport.”
Casey Anthony is over (at least for now). And it’s time for football.
Now, I’m as big a fan of football as anyone (and I happen to think this is the year for the Eagles… E-A-G-L-E-S, Eagles!), but that doesn’t blind me from what is taking place. Football is a tool, or at least, it is being used as such. I pointed it out in the article Football and the New World Order back in 2002.
But let’s watch together…

How will the free agent frenzy over the next couple of weeks distract us (& dominate news coverage) as our nation reaches the debt ceiling deadline?
How will football be used to take people’s minds off of the economy and it’s root causes? Perhaps even help in deflecting blame?
How many shots of NFL players will we see with US troops abroad, but without mentioning the deployment of tens of thousands of troops within our own borders?
How will the football season starting on September 11th impact the emotions of the crowds? How will the image of Osama bin Laden be used? How will Muslims, Sikhs, Latinos, and others be treated after this emotional 10-year anniversary?
Our monetary system is collapsing. Our country is becoming a police state. And millions are being distracted away from real issues that should be front-and-center… This isn’t a democracy if the people are ignorant or do not participate. Crying at the national anthem isn’t participation. The strong emotions you will feel on the 10th anniversary of September 11th are real… but our senses of pain and pleasure have been driven to a place that allows us to hate, allows us to lose sight of important matters, and makes us seek ways to avoid the pain (financial crisis, terrorism, Islam and Muslims, decreased freedoms) and increase the pleasure (sports, military “victory”, increased security).
