Here’s a little test I’d like you all to take. Please study the following list of personality attributes then answer the question that follows:

1) Subject has one group of friends that he spends most of his time with
2) Subject listens to alternative music
3) Subject wears unusual clothes, jewelry, or makeup

Question: When applied to teenage American males, the above attributes are warning signs of which of the following:

a) Subject is a born loser one step away from committing mass murder with an arsenal of high powered firearms and homemade propane bombs

b) Subject is responding in a relatively healthy and highly predictable manner to a complex modern environment.


What did you pick? According to our mainstream media, the consensus among our revered “experts” such as law enforcement professionals, child psychologists, and high school counselors is choice (a).

Let’s face it people……we’re fucked.

So, until that fateful day arrives when half of us are used to shackle the other half to the inside of railroad cars to be hauled off to labor camps, here’s another list of warning signs to ponder:

Warning signs that your teenager might still be a functional human being capable of independent thought:

? Subject asks hard questions to the wrong people
? Subject refuses to be an undercover narc at the whim of state and local police
? Subject won’t blindly pledge his allegiance to the REAL fatherland – the U.S.A.
? Subject makes repeated attempts to establish a unique identity
? Subject makes repeated attempts to establish a personal relationship with a Higher Power
? Subject isn’t jumping up and down for joy at the prospect of being trapped in a prison-like imbecile factory with underpaid government daycare workers for twelve years so that both of his parents can work all day as multinational wage slaves
? Subject doesn’t blindly accept everything he's told
? Subject doesn’t enjoy chronic emotional abuse and wholesale rejection from a mandatory, prearranged peer group of ice cold, brain dead jocks.
? Subject becomes easily bored and dismayed after twelve years of rote memorization of disjointed, irrelevant historical facts that can serve as little more than propaganda for the status quo
? Subject suspects that he AND his parents have been – and continue to be – royally fucked in the ass by big corporate government and organized religion.
