"A man cannot ride your back unless it is bent!" M.L. King

The wealthy and powerful, along with the corporations, and those who would prefer a capitalist, fascist, government over a democratic one, have used their criminally earned wealth to buy the Supreme courts of all of the states, and the Supreme Court of the United States.  All of these courts are now working together to institute their new rule of law for the wealthy. Their new rules of law only protect the wealthy and powerful from the filthy masses (AKA, We the People), not the other way around.
They have purchased the power of the courts and have succeeded in placing the burden of proof of their criminal activities on the back of a court that has already been captured by their heinous, traitorous, activities. They are hiding in their money lined holes, and are protected from the reach of real democratic law by hiding (again) behind the skirts of those whom they have purchased and put into high office for exactly that purpose. Of, by, and for, the people is the part they do not like, and the part they are determined to remove from our constitution!
  Our elected representatives have created a 'viper's nest' of powerful entities that are out to destroy all democracy's world wide, and their main aim is to reboot the world's economy into a new world economic order where they rule without the masses of people having anything to say about what they do.
  They have become insane with their wealth, and the power it allows them to have over others and over the law, and as so many intelligent folks know, and Lord Acton has written, that that kind, and amount, of power produces insanity and corruption regardless of what the bearer of such wealth and power thinks. But have no doubt that these same insane, wealthy, powerful, folks think they are sane. Just ask them..
  They will tell you how much power they have over you with their police forces, and their military, and they will point those weapons at you and use them on you at the first, and every, chance that they get!
