Between that and the warhawking I'm more convinced than ever that big money and power behind the scenes has oligopoly control
THAT'S THE POINT
It's the truth that sets you free. The mere acceptance of that truth brings clarity .. and you begin to see things you never saw before that were right in front of you all the time.
It is the metaphorical 'red pill.'
Your enemy and whatever poster on this board you dislike the most is the same enemy. Most of the political jousting that goes on daily on this board and boards all across this country amounts to what children do. Just clucking chickens.
If we're not talking about corporate ownership of this government .. we're not talking about shit.
NOTHING could be more obvious .. but nobody wants to talk about it. In fact .. they defend the very system of
government by corruption that ignores them, strips them of their rights, murders innocent children all over the world, and attacks the very social fabric that weaved us into Americans.
Now they want the blood, savings, and our elderly mothers and fathers. They want the very things that are keeping millions of Americans alive.
I apologize if I sometimes appear difficult to understand brother. I seriously intend no disrespect to anyone personally. But I'm expressing honest opinion .. sometimes brutally honest. Being either democrat or republican .. means nothing to me. Black, white, brown, green .. means nothing.
What need be said has already been said many times by people much smarter than I am.
The Founders warned of it ..
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."
-- Thomas Jefferson
"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. . . . corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed."
-- U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, Nov. 21, 1864
War is a Racket - USMC Gen. Smedley Butler
Eisenhower warned us ..
Today, the Democratic Party is a completely owned as the Republican Party .. as the Tea Party. They flaunt it in democratic faces.
My problem isn't just with Obama .. it's with democrats themselves.
"The two parties have combined against us to nullify our power by a ‘gentleman's agreement' of non-recognition, no matter how we vote ... May God write us down as asses if ever again we are found putting our trust in either the Republican or the Democratic Parties." -- W.E.B. DuBois (1922)
Do we have the courage be the citizens as defined in the Declaration of Independence?
It doesn't look good.
