There are certain standards which as rational humans we should be keen to embrace, so I ask you, how anyone could reconcile a conscience with such devastating recent events? See, I would have a problem in dispensing (selective) information to serve an ideological goal, especially in pursuit of profit and at the potential expense of human life. But the ties they’ve drawn never dawn on us as inconsistency. Selective phrases serve too erase our already short memories. There’s no excuse for us to postulate. Their intentions handed on a plate. Instead of terrifying sleepless nights about the human loss at stake. It’s an almost non-existent second to the potential profit gained. They’re the answer if the question is: How do we propagate a death toll and extend the fallacy that exists? Not to trivialise the victims or our leaders for their crimes, But the appropriate media reaction may be gained if the victims took to fake breasts and giant vats of blonde hair dye. Perhaps their plight would be presented with less disdain.

Fleeing continents consumed by war to prove their justified fear of persecution. Foreign semantics: the unsettling reminders of resignation to this foreign prison. A grand illusion of our nation, our arms open wide, a billion borders, a fraction spent on aid. Manufactured perceptions stay despondent, hopeless, cold. Exclusion enforced by prescribed fear. They only de-border states to put trade over people, economic exchanges over would-be migrants. Their wording different, their rhetoric the same. The exclusionary echoes of Ellis Island lie embedded in the media’s game. Dehumanised to fit their claims. No longer do these borders fight back military foes, yet up spring fortified frontiers. False reconciliations which bind this paradox attenuate, but reinforce our fears. States claim authority for permeable boundaries, bending to portrayal over fact. Geological faults diving rich and poor. Perception: masses at the affluent world’s door. Well past experience dictates, revelates and indicates. You have to kill yourself in this nation for them to see your desperation.

Sorry if I question your decisions but I’ve cited enough facts to make even Nick Griffin stop and think. Well maybe not, but provide me with some evidence for once since I’m able to back up my beliefs. Leaders, Creators, Moral Traitors, Religious Dogma, Childish reassurances just growing stronger, Providing only senseless, feigned benevolent retreats, where your contrived ignorance can breed. Sorry but we’re gonna ask all the questions from now on, like is 8% a figure which denotes the term ‘swamped’? And what patriot wishes disaster on the country they adore to quench their thirst for power and control? Politicians, authority figures, talking heads, Justify unsubstantiated myths you spread, Providing only senseless, feigned benevolent retreats, where your contrived ignorance can breed.
