Congressmen Returning As Monsters

I still remember JD Hayworth

...a Channel-10 sportscaster

...who one day decided he wanted to go to Congress...

...and he did.

Now J.D. was a likable TV persona.

He was always on the big side, but also a bit pudgy.

He had a good sense of humor and was always upbeat and dynamic.

The regular JD Hayworth

Then he got elected.

Arizona waved it popular, pudgy sportscaster-turned politician and wished him the best.

A few years later JD Hayworth returned.

My first reaction was "What the hell happened to him?"

JD had changed.

He seemed somehow taller...more massive...muscular...tanned...

...and ugly.

He looked like a 7-foot reptilian.

His voting record had changed along with his looks...

....and had aligned itself with Bush "conservativism" (actually fascism passing itself off as conservativism).

JD had left an easygoing popular one-of-the-guys...

 ....what we got back was humorless Frankenbooger.

 I mean where did the tan and muscles come from?

The Monster We Got Back

 And these were giant STEROID muscles, not just regular muscles.

Did JD have so much free time on his hands that he could dedicate to tanning and muscle building, combined with expert use of steroids?

What about all that legislative work?

Well, I put the whole Hayworth transformative incident aside as one particular man's 'journey' through Washington D.C.

That is, until Jeff Flake came along.

Jeff Flake was a conservative's conservative.

A native-born Arizonan who couldn't help spout his heart-felt conservativism, from abortion, to gun rights, to limited government and Chrisitanity (in his case, Mormon Christianity).

Soft-spoken, with boyish looks and a humble personality, Jeff Flake soon became the sweatheart of Christian conservatives in his district and beyond.

The original Jeff Flake

Jeff Flake was promptly elected to the House of Representatives and was consistently cheered for his spotless conservative voting record.

I still remember an interview in which he got caught with a foldable hammock in his congressional office.

Flake admitted that he did work late hours.

Then he meekly admitted that a representative's pay was really not enough to rent an apartment close to the Captitol Building, and that several Congressmen really lived in their offices!

Further questioning pulled out the confession from flake that government's role was limited to protecting society under the Constitution and that there was little role for it beyond that.(no welfare, no involvement in education, no regulation, no interference with the states) and that government didn't really need to be very large at all.

Well, many Arizonans celebrated at that little show of soft-spoken, yet strong-willed conservative humility and were thankful we had a REAL Conservative in the House.

Time passed.

With time, Flake's voting record got weirder and weirder.

He started spouting off that the TPP (Trans Pacific Partnersip) - a nation-ending international economic dictatorship - was a good idea.

And it got worse from there.

Then he came to visit.

What walked out of the passenger jet was unrecognizeable.

Tanned, muscled...ugly...and mean looking.

Just like ol' JD looked when he came back. 

The New Uglier Jeff Flake

"Who the hell is that?" was everybody's reaction.

Not only did Jeff Flake seem taller, more muscular, more tanned, but also ugly and dangerous looking...and humorless (just like JD Hayworth).

The smiling, boyish-looking representative who wore his heart on his sleeve was gone.

I mean, who is this guy in the picture?

Did someone break his nose?

Proof of Flake's newly muscled body can be seen below

The New Super Muscular Flake

What did he spend all his time doing in Washington?

Taking steroids, building muscle and getting a tan?

And what's with the  broken nose?

Do you remember all those times during the Bush Administration when the President...then Rumsfeld...alternately appeared with bandages on their faces (Bush said he choked on a pretzel the fell and hit his face on a table).

Much later, John Kerry would appear with a face that looked as if it had been kicked by a mule.

Anyway, we sent a clean-cut, youthful-looking, Christian conservative to Washington...and got back the same Frankenbooger-looking entity that JD Hayworth had turned into.

And his voting record had changed too.

Recently, Jeff Flake, the Christian, anti-abortion, pro-family, pro-gun Conservative from Arizona...

...recently proposed a GUN CONTROL bill to Congress which removes the right of anyone on the No Fly List from owning a gun?

WTF?

Since inclusion in the No Fly List is arbitrary, secret and unalterable, this will basically give the Federal Government the power of taking away your guns by simply writing down your name on a list!

This is NOT the Jeff Flake we know and love.

In fact, WHERE is the real Jeff Flake?

Has he been BLACKMAILED by the CIA apparatus whose job it is to compromise every single member of Congress?"

Has he defected to the Illuminati?

Has Flake simply gone to the devil?

Or has the real Jeff Flake been killed off and replaced with a clone?

After seeing two representatives go away to Washington and come back as tanned, muscled, ugly, mean-faced, humorless, ideologically unrecognizable monsters...

...one is tempted to inquire.

Dangers of the Internet

The Internet is being used against us.

Here is how:

The Internet drowns out the facts with a flood of babble.

There is so much nonsense out there that the hard facts are sometimes hared to come by.

You've got to deal pretty deep past a lot of repetitive nonsense to find what you're really looking for.

The Internet Distracts the Issues

The Internet puts out so much half true-junk and nonsense that people starts ignoring the real facts.

Shape-shifting reptilians? UFO's as demons? Human sacrifice?

How much more interesting and morbidly intriguing are all these fairytales in comparison to hard facts?

The Internet Tracks Us

The Internet tracks us to the extent that the government now knows our very minds.

What the heck, the NSA has electronic files on all our Internet history.

People who type in their names in their new computers are stupid.

The government already knows your location the second you log on, why confirm your identity as well?

A fourth method is to launch a feint to lure the enemy into revealing himself.

You put out the cheese to attract the mice – create or encourage the creation of electronic front organizations, then see who joins them.

By now, your Internet History has created a perfect electronic file on yourself for the government to see at any time. Every political inclination, every perversion, every vice has been duly noted (though probably not perused by anyone…as yet).

Congratulations.

But an additional factor of the Internet has been its effect on our very psyche.

The Internet is drawing us apart.

This living, humming creature, whose presence we feel 24 hours a day and whose data is available to us 24 hours a day at a whim is addicting us to it and alienating us from each other.

For many (both employed and unemployed), the Internet has become a second reality in which they spend the most of their day.

The symptoms of ‘Internet Withdrawal’ have (conveniently) never been studied.

But you don’t need a study for you to observe these symptoms both within yourself and within those around you.

Just challenge someone (perhaps yourself?) to pass a couple of days without it.

The first sniveling justification will probably be something along the lines of: “I HAVE to get on Internet because I’ve got business to transact there!”

No you don’t.

The only thing you have to transact is the continuation of your dependence and your addiction to the Internet.

The mechanism for creating addiction is a secret.

Officially “Internet addiction” does not exist.’

The topic of Internet addiction is a non-subject as far as the media is concerned.

But the mechanism exists.

It exists as surely as does the following:

The psychological isolation between one human and another.

All this besides the cell phone-staring phenomenon in which entire families and even dates spend time looking at their cell phone screens instead of talking to each other.

All this besides the symbiotic human-computer bio-interface many human beings have with their PC and continue with their I-Phones during 100% of waking hours.

All this besides the ungodly amount of hours the average human being spends each day staring at one sort of screen or another.

We are talking about the end of workable interaction between one human being and another.

And presently, ladies and gentlemen, human interaction is falling apart…and the Internet is causing it.

The very volume of information available on the Internet takes away from the value of information itself.

Perhaps the above is unavoidable given the amount of data (even US intelligence agencies are ‘choking’ on it).

But what about attention span?

What facts you seek to communicate is now much less important.

It used to be that if the Mass Media didn’t say it, it didn’t happen.

Now it’s the Internet.

If its not on the Internet, it does not exist.

(Ever try to find information on the Internet on how the lottery is a scam run by the Mafia?)

Please remember that when it comes to information, more and more information is managed through an international cyber entity called Google.

So you have something new, insightful and true to say?

Let me hear it (briefly).

I’ll then go home and look it up on the Internet.

If it is not there, then I will discard the data that your transmitted to me…completely.

The act of listening itself has gone out the blow hole.

Its gotten to the point where LISTENING itself has become an obsolete activity.

Why listen to all the tedious details of whatever somebody is trying to tell you if you can go home later…and look it up on the Internet?

It’s even become a fad to simply tell somebody: “Look it up by typing in ----- and ------.”

Why even bother to explain anything to that person, or discuss anything, the Internet will fully inform them later.

Last but not least, the Internet is infringing on the very physicality of our world, absorbing it, and bringing it under its control, much like a gigantic Borg matrix.

Books, magazines, videos discs, video games, toys and even stores themselves are all being sucked down its bottomless maw.

In very short time, all of the above are becoming obsolete.

Books, magazines and video (film) now exist in an ephemeral fashion within the Internet.

How soon before their physical existence ends?

Newspapers, books and magazines are already ending.

Movies and video games are close behind as everything becomes‘virtual’ and reachable through the Internet.

Of course, once inside the Internet, they all become beholden to the man behind the electronic controls.

Every document or film can be censored, cut, edited or even have its existence terminated all together.

And as everyone now knows and understands:

If its not on the Internet…

…it doesn’t exist.
