Time Bomb Without a Clock

The events are unfolding faster than ever and it seems like the masterminds behind the control panel can't keep up with the speed of "we, the people". It is curious that after talks about new drone technology, anti-radar planes, police brutality cases, etc, the media has taken some sort of "break" to cover other important news that are really not new, but more like "returning" news. Politicians are getting caught with drugs up and down, a senator got stabbed by his own son, the website for Obamacare didn't hold the amount of users visiting, and last but not least, George Zimmerman was back in court after reports of domestic violence. The perfect timing for these perfect topics. As if all this wasn't good enough, Oprah got mad at the politicians that disrespect President Obama. Well, this brings more tension to the game in case there wasn't enough rage already circulating over the media. Buys more time for the great and powerful Oz to deal with some other REAL STUFF without getting more attentions from the public opinion.
Even though the media is covering all this insignificant stories 24/7, there is always the social media. Social networks like Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ are being used more everyday from people like you and me to document reality, real facts, opinions that matter, and of course, to help others awake from the illusion they are submerged into. Social media is direct, it is real time with no delays, and it impacts more people today than TV newscasts and printed media. By using these methods, people bit the conventional media, sometimes even forcing them to report on issues they might not want to, but that are so out there that they need to show at least for a few seconds. It is hard to know who is winning the battle when you don't even know what your enemy's plans or ideas are, but one thing is for sure, we are awake and we are trying to use all our ideas, force, and resources to ignite the bomb that might bring the loudest boom to the scene. The one every one will hear, and that no one will ignore. We are finding the remote for the time bomb without a clock.
