Like the Thanksgiving Day Macys balloons paraded past the cheering crowds, no matter what the shape of the balloon or color the balloon or the sex of the balloon. They are all made from they same plastics, sealed with the same corporate endorsements and filled with the same corporate funding as the current bag of gas. Their DNA codes don’t vary one iota.
Because of this the issues of the day become cardboard cut out absurdities. Healthcare for all? The end of the war in Iraq? Tax reform? Not a chance Stan, not until ashes ashes we all fall down. The powers that be pay for this puppet show, the networks rake in millions with drug advertisements, health insurance ads, retirement supplement ads or as I prefer to call it, "Help, I’m F-cked and I can’t get up!"
I guess that’s why I’m poor, too ugly for politics and too honest for Psychic advisor.
So here’s some free bees, no matter who is elected. No serious healthcare reform period, The war in Iraq will go on and the occupation is permanent unless they run us out. Tax reform? Maybe but only if the rich get more and everyone else gets less.
The deflation of the dollar will continue because it helps the banks to manage the huge losses in dollar back securities.
We are going to attack Iran, this one is easy. Not because Iran has nuclear weapons or even wants nuclear weapons but because you have to attack someone and they’ve got oil. During WW1 the stalemate in Europe could not be broken, the answer was to open a new front in Turkey. It failed miserably but Churchill believed to the end of his days that it was the failure of will not of tactics. Like wise in WW2 Stalin demanded the allies open a new front to take the pressure off of the Russians, in Korea there was Inchon. The goal is to break the military stalemate in Iraq and to break the will of all in the region who might resist US power.
You don’t mind do you, if they use our children for power games? To kill millions of innocents to destabilize regions and risk world war for the goal of hegemony? It doesn’t matter because nobody’s asking you! Because the God king, Fuehrer, Overlord or man of steel head of lead has decreed it! And Nancy Pelosi is so dissapointed in Congress but if only she could see it from where I’m sitting.
Maybe Tom Joads right, maybe there ain’t no sin and there ain’t no virtue maybe it is just what folks does and that is what has damned humanity through out our existence. Maybe that revelation frees us though in our course of action because through out history the cure for leadership that becomes detached from the people, that no longer benefits the people, that has no concern for the people has been the detachment of their head from their neck. Metaphorically speaking of course.
