OUR GOVERNMENT HAS BECOME A CORPORATION
These groups of people who are in power in our world today are so powerful that they can deny that any of their actions can be labelled as criminal, (INCLUDING TORTURE) and get away with it!! All of this posturing just because we elected them? Nope, it is all about being in the right place to make big time money and power! If this, the 'power of wealth' is not a definition of 'being above the LAW', and by that I mean the common law that is applied to common citizens, then I do not feel that there ever has been a time in our country wherein "We the People" were not ruled 'behind the scenes' by these super wealthy, and therefor 'super powerful' SUBMERGED OLIGARCH'S and their minions!. Were this statement not the dire truth that it is...our system of government (were it functional) would have never allowed anything like this too happen behind their backs...or actually, right under their big noses?. Our system of government (were it functional) should know 'beyond a shadow of a doubt' that it could not survive this style of manipulation! It should have known, (were it functional) hell it should have been obvious (had our government been, in reality, even partially functional at really representing the voter's wishes) that replacing the decision making capabilitys of our representatives, which are supposed to be based on our communicated needs as voters and citizens...with creating a system wherein their needs (the needs of the oligarch's and their cronies) became predominant to our representatives, (lobbying)... over the needs of the 'once protected citizen' was bound 'in the long run' too run into the difficulties that we now face as a people, and that they face as an elected body trying hard to protect their vast sums of wealth and aquired power!
That is why you will always find them hard at work undermining real democracy and promoting the rights of those of wealth and privilege.
They just cannot care about our rights like we, the people, can!
Ladies and gentelmen of the 'as of now..OUT OF ORDER'..American citizen's jury, we have been FLEECED BIG, BIG, BIG,TIME, and are being lied to so as to perpetuate their ability to garner our hard earned dollars illegally...one more time!
How have they done these behind the scenes sheenanigans? They bought the MEDIA and changed the rules... (in their favor, of course) because buying the media insured that they could, in the main, control and distort the flow of information...at least the info that counted...that was being presented to the listening public's ears.
Hey, it sounds like a real plan, doesn't it? Well it was and still is a real plan! Why do you think that we do not have single payer, government funded, health care, for that matter? Or why must we have constant war and starvation for that matter? Hell...that's easy! Your beloved oligarch's cannot make trillions more that way, not with peace and prosperity for all!. No! Their corporations must make weapons for more wars and reasons for more wars. Cant sell weapons without wars, so those reasons are very necessary! They need to prey upon us like we were poultry or swine. Their next step is too just turn the governments of the world into mega-corporations, for the oligarchs, of course.
So, you see, the engines of growth in this country have not been about citizen power, citizen involvement in decision making, or even citizen's ability to depend upon our government to protect their rights, but have been about the oligarch's minions assuming positions of power and national relevance in order to protect and further entrench and inject those same oligarchical entities ' the minions of those in power into more, and more, powerful, and controlling positions.
I will call them 'moles' for lack of a better word..traitor did come to mind though...
Do me a great favor and look up the definition of capitalism...and show me where there is anything within this damned definition that cares about anything other than HAVING IT ALL!
A citizens of this country we must know first hand, by being constantly and factually informed by those elected representatives... through our legislative processes, exactly where, and why, our elected representatives are taking this, our country, down the path that it is now on!
Do not trust the media. It is owned by the wealthy and powerful.
The media, when it lies to the American public, must be hunted down like a rabid dog
and vaccinated with a large dose of reality..as presented by "We the People".
Try it...you'll like it!
