The Doors, Part One

Tell A Friend

Polls are the standardized tests
given to the American electorate
that show how well we all "got"
what it was they were trying to sell us.
They measure the effect of living
in a seduced and sedated nation
surrounded by deliberately false
and/or manipulated "news" information.

The way we see and understand the world
is shaped by where and how we grew up.
Politicians tap into these cultural views
and cunningly mirror them back to us
as the basic talking points/building blocks
of all their political communication
to gain endorsement, increasing power,
and eventually our total domination.

Welfare.  School prayer.  Evolution.
Immigration.  Drugs and pornography.
Abortion and guns.  Affirmative action.
Liberals, gays, feminists.  Racial equality.
Such issues are not raised to be resolved.
Their function is strictly division
to hide Class War by the Rich on the rest of us
and obscure economic and societal issues

which concern ALL of America's people,
not just the Fortunate Four Hundred
or the narrow interests of cult-like fanatics
who are a stalking horse to co-opt the rest of us.

This makes it a very easy task
to round up the usual suspects
by using these reliable sticks
to stir up our personal hornets,
so pre-occupied The People turn around
and begin to sting one another,
the red-white-and-blue state diversion
of Imperial divide and conquer.
It's a nasty political "secret"
perfected by the well-funded Right -
put groups of diverse people together
and goad them until they fight
over issues that really should be
their private and personal decisions
while going about imposing
the Right's own radical position.
The fighting serves to keep our minds off
what the Right is actually doing
and the economic devastation
their decisions are actually producing.

But abortion is yet to be outlawed
and school prayer's not reinstated.
Gays are allowed to marry
and morals have never been legislated.
Liberals and the ACLU still insist
on separation of church and state.
Affirmative action's not completely abolished.
Shouldn't something, by now, have changed?

These issues will NEVER be resolved.
That's why they're hot buttons of Public Diplomacy.
They summon up the energy and anger
used to divide and mobilize us for voting
to endorse self-destructive corporate agendas,
because after the Election Show is over,
it's the Corporate Agenda that's enacted
while shafting American voters.

Most of the perpetrators have been working our government
since way back in the Nixon Administration.
Powell and Greenspan.  Paulson and Wolfowitz.
Bush One, Rumsfeld, Negroponte and Cheney.
And during the eight years of the Reagan Regime
more crooks joined this sociopathic consortium.
Mukasey and Feith.  Gates, Rice and Abrams.
Libby, Roberts, Scalia, Hadley and Bolton.
Most of them have also served
at the pleasure of Bush 41
and their war to transform America
and The World
into an Iron Maiden, capitalist fiefdom
has almost been won

at the behest of their shadowy masters
behind a curtain of moneyed denial.
Rockefeller. Du Pont. Astor, Morgan and Ford.
Mellon, Vanderbilt, Carnegie and Rothschild.

Hunt, Hilton, Dorrance and Cabot.
Guggenheim, Kellogg and Kennedy.
Welch, Harriman, Paley and Pew.
MacMillan, Armour, Pritzker and Whitney.

Goldman-Sachs.  Perelman and Buffett.
Gates, Cargill, Pickens and Getty.
Koch.  Redstone.  Murdoch and Grace.
Mars, Schwab, Trump, Walton and Lilly.

Merck, Soros, Kuhn-Loeb and Coors.
Richardson, Reynolds and Dell.
Tyson, Hearst, Turner, Heinz, Hughes.
Phipps, Olin, Forbes and Bechtel.

Get this through your thick skull -
We're just roadkill to these "people".
CEOs and politicians are purely their puppets,
whose every word, every movement is purchased
by those in dirigibles of wealth far above us.

These bloated plutocrats' puppets populate the ranks
of commissions, institutions and foundations.
WTO.  IMF.  The UN.  The World Bank.
The Council on Foreign Relations.

They drive Exxon, Monsanto and Dow.
They're members of the Bilderbergers,
the Carlyle Group and UNESCO.
They're the Business Roundtable
and the Tri-Lateral Commission.
They meet at Davos and Bohemian Grove.

They throw financial dice
in the City of London.
They funnel wealth upward
via the Wall Street Casino.
They're incubated in groups
like Yale's Skull & Bones
to suck the life out of
most of Earth's people.

DUH, WUZZ YUSE TALKIN' TO ME?

Yes. That is it in a nutshell. Who knows about the Council on Foreign

relations? Who knows about the Bilderbergers? Who knows what the Tri

Lateral Commission is about?

The enlightened have to open their eyes and ears. Too bad the brain has to

 be available to be in working condition as well.

It is not a matter of knowledge, but a matter of smarts.

No amount of knowledge about how the crooks came to power is useful beyond a certain basic point.  Capitalism is the friendly game between equals in the front.  Crookism is the game with the media lights down low in the back.  Crooks change their cards regularly, but they are always marked and easy to palm.  Nothing is left to chance.

You don't have to know the rest of the story to spot a bunch of crooks.

I have achieved nothing of consequence apart from raising children in a way that they would excel where I failed. And they are on good tracks.

How About False Flags

Excellent article. But how about false flags and fearmongering and the war machine ?

The US has become a merchant and exporter of war and death and destruction. This war mentality is sewn up into people's fabric and has become like lenses through which they perceive the world. False flags are spak-plugs that set up this mentality into motion and transfom people into hating  savage animals ready to be used as cannon fodder.
