Mother should i trust the government meaning

She sees him as the remaining embodiment of her husband And because he must act as husband to his mother, because he must grow up before his time, Pink never really has a childhood Author's Addendum: In a way, the Wall is a Warhol-like representation of Pink, showing the same subject in various metaphorically inverted and often contrasting colors, all of which add their own layer and complexities to the overall visceral work.

Mother [Roger Waters] Mother, do you think they'll drop the bomb? Mother, do you think they'll like this song? Mother, do you think they'll try to break my balls? Mother, should I build the wall? Mother, should I run for president? Mother, should I trust the government? Mother, will they put me in the firing line?

Oooooh aaah. Is it just a waste of time? Mother am I really dying? Baby, don't you cry. Mamma's gonna make all your nightmares come true. Mamma's gonna put all of her fears into you. Mamma's gonna keep you right here under her wing. She won't let you fly, but she might let you sing.

Mama's gonna keep baby cozy and warm. Ooooh babe. Oooooh babe, Of course mama's gonna help build a wall. Mother, do you think she's dangerous -- to me? Mother, will she tear your little boy apart? Ooooh aaah. Mother, will she break my heart? Mama's gonna check out all your girlfriends for you. Mama won't let anyone dirty get through. Mama's gonna wait up until you get in.

Mama will always find out where you've been. Mama's gonna keep baby healthy and clean. Oooh babe. Oooh babe, You'll always be baby to me. In doing this, so much resilience has been removed from these market structures that they are riddled with rot, like a mansion infested with carpenter ants.

The concepts of Doublethink and Newspeak are alive and well in our increasingly Orwellian society. The massive long-term campaign of large-scale psychological manipulation, described in detail by Edward Bernays in , has succeeded in breaking down the capacity for independent thought by the masses. Those in control of the media have molded the minds of millions to believe anything the government tells them, even while possessing information that runs counter to what they are being told.

The storyline of Iraqi soldiers murdering Kuwaiti babies in their incubators during the first Gulf War was another example of propaganda designed to manipulate public opinion. By controlling the media message, those in power control the present and can manipulate the past. The government controls the curriculum in public schools and writes our history to conform to whatever storyline that supports their agenda.

This is exactly what is desired by the ruling class. The Party shifts its diplomatic allegiance, so the nation it has been at war with suddenly becomes its ally Eurasia , and its former ally becomes its new enemy Eastasia. When the Party speaker suddenly changes the nation he refers to as an enemy in the middle of his speech, the crowd accepts his words immediately, and is ashamed to find that it has made the wrong signs for the event.

The American people have been programmed to accept the same logic from our leaders. Saddam Hussein was our ally when he was fighting our enemy Iran, who had been our ally ever since we had overthrown their democratically elected leader in the s. Then he became our enemy for using weapons of mass destruction, provided to him by the U. Osama bin Laden was our ally when he was fighting our mortal enemy, the Soviet Union. Then he became our mortal enemy because we refused to leave Saudi Arabia after the first Gulf War.

Then he became an enemy again for fighting to maintain his dictatorship. Mubarak was an ally for decades as we provided him billions in military hardware so he could brutally maintain control. Then he became an enemy when we decided he was no longer of use. Do you get the picture? The very concept of objective truth is fading out of the world. Lies will pass into history.

The looting and pillaging of the middle class continues, while the poor are kept controlled, sedated and enslaved by entitlements, debt, drugs and prisons. The financial system is succumbing to the mountains of debt that have been accumulated trying to keep the game going. In the last ten years worldwide total credit market debt, on balance sheets, sovereign obligations, corporate debt, household debt — has grown from trillion to just over 0 trillion.

There are. The accumulation of worldwide debt, aging developed country populations, depletion of resources, perpetual war, financial fraud and rampant corruption are going to lead to a collapse of epic proportions. It may not happen in , but it will happen within the next five years. Jesse explains why the status quo will never relinquish their power, illegally acquired wealth and control without a fight:. The status quo tolerates the corruption and the fraud because they have profited at least indirectly from it, and would like to continue to do so.

Even the impulse to reform within the power structure is susceptible to various forms of soft blackmail and coercion by the system that maintains and rewards.

And so a failed policy and its support system become self-sustaining, long after it is seen by objective observers to have failed. In its failure it is counterproductive, and an impediment to recovery in the real economy. Admitting failure is not an option for the thought leaders who receive their power from that system. The continuity of the structural hierarchy must therefore be maintained at all costs, even to the point of becoming a painfully obvious hypocrisy.

The people of this country must regain a sense of responsibility for their lives and the lives of future generations. Enough people need to perceive they are being manipulated, controlled and used by the thought leaders and awaken from their narcissistic materialistic debt financed lives.

Our culture has failed. The animosity and anger in the country is beginning to bubble over. The masses are beginning to realize they have been fooled. There is one Party putting on a show, as displayed this week with the fiscal cliff farce, as the government controlled media proclaimed victory because the status quo was maintained, nothing was cut, and trillion was added to the National Debt.

More people need to question and challenge the authorities. We must cast aside our willful ignorance of facts and accept the consequences of decades of bad decisions and delusions of grandeur. More government is not the answer. We must break free of the conditioning and mind control used to make us love our servitude and trust those in power. Their job is to promote confidence, not to tell you the truth. Skip to main content. Mother, Should I Trust the Government? By James Quinn. Writer Kendra Cherry describes the experiment: The participants in the Milgram experiment were 40 men recruited using newspaper ads.

According to Milgram, there are a number of situational factors that can explain such high levels of obedience: The physical presence of an authority figure dramatically increased compliance. The fact that the study was sponsored by Yale a trusted and authoritative academic institution led many participants to believe that the experiment must be safe.

The selection of teacher and learner status seemed random. Participants assumed that the experimenter was a competent expert. The shocks were said to be painful, not dangerous. Since , the Orwellian measures have included: Warrantless domestic surveillance. Color coded risk levels designed to keep citizens fearful of non-existent terrorists.

Pre-emptive invasion of foreign countries. Committing U. Assassination of people on presidential kill lists. Camera systems monitoring the movements of Americans in cites and streets across the United States. Torture of detainees in camps outside of the United States. The authority to indefinitely detain America citizens without trial. Executive orders giving the President the ability to unilaterally disregard the U.

Constitution and take control of private industries. He fears the institutionalization of thoughts and independence that take place in society "Reference: "Place them up against the wall! Ultimately, he wants nothing to do with it, but is torn by the irony of his situation. He comes to the realization that the wall will hold him back, and he struggles to learn how to cope with life outside the wall.

Even though it is difficult for him, he knows it is the right thing to do. I do not think the "Wall" is about the soviet union, cold war, bombs, or anything like that in particular.

But, keep in mind that this was written at the height of the cold war and these notions undoubtedly helped mold the sentiment and thought process involved with this production. Roger Waters has never spelled out what this album is saying. Personally, I think he refuses to do that because he does not want to be an "institution" that tells others how to think. It ultimately represents the isolationism that comes from fear of others persons, militaries, governments, etc.

That isolationism will tear you apart and destroy you. You must learn to deal with it without becoming a part of it. You guys are way off on this one except for the first one.

It is not about him being high. It is definitely not anywhere close to being about Russia. This song is about a boy that is overprotected or "babied" by his mother. It is that simple. If you listen to the rest of The Wall, you will see the common themes. Waters shows his distrust of the government. He saying that if parents are too protective of their children, then that child will not be able to make choices and figure things out for himself or herself.

His mother is another brick in the wall. The wall being a metaphorical representation of isolation. Why do people have to over analysed every song why can it be a bout a bot and his over protective mother? This does not have anything to do with Germany or anything in the real world, the wall is all something in his head that has insulated him his whole life because his mother and other people who are other bricks in the wall built it around him, also bricks in the wall shows how people perceive that everyone is the same when in reality we are not.

I don't think its so much about an over protective mother as it is about a mother who is teaching her son that life is all bad and that he should fear life. She puts all her fears into him.

So he builds a wall to protect him from the evil world on the other side with her help. His fear of life and his lonelyness leads him to insanity. The last line "mother, did it need to be so high", he comes to the realization that his mother has made his this way. Some how nobody seems to gets this. Interesting what people read between the lines. The song is about a condemed man going to the gallows. It's about people in communist Soviet Russia and how they had to be dependent on what 'Mother' here the mother land Russia had to say.

The first stanza questions will reveal accordingly - Mother, do you think they'll drop the bomb? Of how 'mother land' is above individual needs. It also shows how she agrees to help 'build the wall' in creating more communist states.

In the third stanza, the protagonist wants to leave the motherland for USA in hope of better living. It also portrays how well propaganda conditioning for generations work, because he still has questions about what life will be after leaving the motherland.

The fourth stanza is mother Russia's promise to keep her children safe from all evils of capitalism and strife. Of how life with 'mother' is far comfortable than the gauntlet of capitalism. The last line : Mother, did it need to be so high?
