Once Upon a Time in the Evil Empire

The still recent CIA-backed coup (they're all CIA-backed) in Honduras deposed Zelaya to install a more oligarchy friendly regime, is another example of blatant hypocrisy.

The reason the Karzais and Mubaraks of the world are so beloved by the globalists and hated by the people is the same reason that the Chavez's and Castro's of the world are hated by the globalists and loved by their people (and others who have been inspired by their stands) -- leaders like Chavez and Castro have insulted this Corporatocracy by insisting that the wealth and resources of their respective countries belong to the people of that nation.

Let's hope that the uprisings against the elites of this world that didn't start in Egypt, but was so obvious there, continue. Our brothers and sisters in Latin America have been doing an admirable, if unsung job, rising up against the puppet-masters from the bottom to the top in some cases.

Here we sit in the seat of the globalist's wet dream -- the United States of America. Ah, America, where the people on the bottom of the economic ladder still think it's possible to claw, fight, kick, and scratch our way to the top and we won't allow any pesky facts to get in the way of our quest for this impossible Madison-avenue induced nightmare.
If most of us can't even discern that it doesn't matter who dances for the elite in the Oval Office, then all is lost before we even begin.

Emperor Obama, and Emperor Bush before him, were installed in their positions by the same institutions that installed Mubarak and Karzai. The difference is, with our complicit media, many of us still firmly believe in the illusion of political "choice." The elites of the world never call these people dictators, but their people do.
   
Will this Once Upon a Time have a happy ending for the heroes? Only the people themselves can decide that.
