Today I was bored enough to turn on the TV, which is pathetic enough in
|
|
itself. But what is even more depraved is that I found myself voluntarily
|
|
going through one of the most painful experiences in my life. I allowed myself
|
|
to watch an episode of "America's Most Wanted."
|
|
|
|
That show is TOO fucking scary. It's scary because it's actually
|
|
successful. They catch the people they show on there. With the help of your
|
|
good neighbor and mine, Mr. and Mrs. All-American-Snoopnose-GoodyGoody-
|
|
Fundamentalist-Christian-Fuckhead, who have nothing better to do than sit
|
|
around making phone calls to law enforcement television programs. (Funny that
|
|
the word "Fundamentalist" has the word "mental" in it because obviously these
|
|
types of people don't use their brains.)
|
|
|
|
What Amerika's Most Wanted is, boys and girls, is televised Rat-On-Thy-
|
|
Neighbor. Crimestoppers is sort of like this too, just not as bad. With
|
|
Crimestoppers, you pay some shmuck $1000 because they witnessed a crime (or
|
|
think they did) and they can only find the courage to report who did it when
|
|
you offer them money. Ok. Maybe we'll get a few car thieves off the streets,
|
|
or stop some little street kids pushing coke so they can feed their younger
|
|
brothers and sisters. At least Crimestoppers is localized and confined to a
|
|
small region. But Amerika's Most Flaunted goes beyond this. Way beyond.
|
|
|
|
What frightens me is the way that pictures of people are shown to a
|
|
nationwide audience in order to find the people in the pictures. The pictures
|
|
are often crude sketches or dark, fuzzy, unclear photographs. Anybody could
|
|
look like the victim, ahem excuse me, the suspect. I wonder, too, how many of
|
|
the ACTORS paid to play the part of the "fugitive from justice" get beat up as
|
|
they go about their daily business (in the grocery store, perhaps, or just
|
|
picking their kids up from school or something) by moronic hicks who think
|
|
they're the REAL criminal instead of simply the actor chosen to portray the
|
|
suspect in the TV show's scenario. "Duh, they look just like the person on TV.
|
|
Must be him!" Anybody remember Ramirez, the "Night Stalker," who was caught
|
|
by a hysterical mob of people who chased him down? It could have also happened
|
|
to anyone who vaguely resembled led him. His picture was shown all over the
|
|
fucking country. I'm sure there're lots of guys out there who look kinda scary
|
|
and scraggly and hairy just like him. Maybe somebody did get beat up for
|
|
looking like him and we just didn't hear about it.
|
|
|
|
This encouragement of fucking over the life of your fellow citizens - by
|
|
an easy, even anonymous telephone call to the AMW 1-800 hotline, of course - is
|
|
similar to the techniques used in Nazi Germany to round up traitors, Jews,
|
|
nonconformists, gays, etcetera. Except back then they didn't have television.
|
|
But that was ok, they till had posters, flyers, bill-boards, round-ups,
|
|
door-to-door searches, etc.
|
|
|
|
What happens when this turn-in-anyone-who-looks-like-the-picture-and-they-
|
|
will-go-to-jail-and-you-will-be-a-hero mentality (I use the word "mentality"
|
|
lightly) becomes a tool for the government? Say you're some big hefty
|
|
politician-type dude and you've got someone on your case about some issue - be
|
|
it nuclear disarmament, the dolphins, the fucked up budget, $245 military
|
|
hammers and nails, you name it... this person's doing a good job, getting
|
|
public attention, and generally being a pain in your bureaucratic fat lazy ass.
|
|
Ok, no problem, so you decide to waste 'em. You call up the Gestapo, oh,
|
|
excuse me, the CIA (insert FBI, Secret Service, Masons, Mafia, whatever's
|
|
applicable) and put out a contract on them. But, oops, the person's wise to
|
|
you and you can't find them. You cruise all the local bars, free speech areas,
|
|
town meetings, community centers, drug hangouts, etc. and finally give up.
|
|
Until your buttocks are resting on your cozy rich couch about 8 p.m on a Sunday
|
|
night and you see AMW on TV. Aha... you get the great idea to call up AMW and
|
|
push a few buttons.
|
|
|
|
On the very next show, your enemy's picture is displayed. Week after
|
|
that, you got him/her and 15-20 people who look like him/her captured. Because
|
|
you were able to convince the American public (with no evidence whatsoever)
|
|
that this person is a danger to them, their children, their house, their beer,
|
|
their flags, their gun-racks in their pickups, their ugly plaid shirts, their
|
|
way of life, and to American society in general. Twenty or thirty people, say,
|
|
across the nation, called in to help, reporting anybody and everybody who might
|
|
just squeeze into the description of Amerika's Worst Enemy. You got 'em, you
|
|
let the other 15-20 people go (With a warning of course, maybe thron in a bit
|
|
of light torture and scare tactics here and there as preventative measures, you
|
|
know....) And then you do whatever it is you do to captured war criminal
|
|
citizens.
|
|
|
|
It made me wonder, when I saw the fugitives' pictures, if they really did
|
|
all that thieving and murdering and raping and pillaging, etc., etc., that they
|
|
are supposedly wanted for. I had to take the announcer's word for it, of
|
|
course. But I wondered... perhaps that person just somehow managed to find out
|
|
something the government didn't want anybody to know? Did they really steal
|
|
that car or did they find out how to cure cancer and the cancer research
|
|
societies want them dead 'cause they'd rather have the funds for "research" and
|
|
stretch out the cure 10 or 20 years until they're all rich? Or something along
|
|
that vein? Maybe I'm just paranoid. But....
|
|
|
|
When America was built it was built by a community of people who helped
|
|
each other. Not people who turned each other in. Then somehow it all started
|
|
to disintegrate, and it got really fucked up, and a bunch of witch hunts
|
|
started. Although of course the people who were hung for witchcraft weren't
|
|
witches, just politicals on the wrong side, in the wrong place at the wrong
|
|
time... that sort of round-em-up atmosphere persists to this day in the
|
|
Nazi-like tactics encouraged by Crimestoppers, the 10 Most Wanted List, and by
|
|
America's Most Wanted.
|
|
|
|
Need I say more? I think you get the point. America's turning fascist,
|
|
with the help of Amerika' Most Wanted. Fuck the show and fuck anyone who
|
|
watches it. Kill anybody who calls up and reports on somebody, kill the
|
|
producers, kill the creator, kill the cameraperson, kill the fuckhead of an
|
|
introducer. Save us before we're ALL rounded up. Preventative measures, that
|
|
sort of thing. You know....
