For OpEdNews: Michael Bonanno - Writer

I'm not right very often, but I guess I was right this time. Barack Obama, like George Bush, like Bill Clinton, like George H. W. Bush and so on down the line are fronts for American Corporations who make all of the decisions in this so called country. We don't vote for shit and it's time we realize it.

Everything's theater. There's no debate and there's not meant to be. From Rush Limbaugh to Thom Hartmann, these people with their talking points are given the microphones in order to keep the rest of us at each other's throats and it works and it's always worked.

Why they let the fact out that this "country", whatever that really is, was founded by elite snobs who owned and raped slaves, who didn't think that those who didn't own land were human enough to vote, who screwed each others' wives and mistresses, who used the blood of those who they agreed weren't human enough to have a say in what was happening is a mystery.

The people whom Jefferson, Washington, Franklin, Adams and the other "founders" thought weren't human enough to have a say in what the country involved itself in didn't have a say in any so called "war" that this wonderful red, white and blue theater stage was involved in. Today, Obama believes that those who are sent to kill and die in Afghanistan don't have a say as well.

Now, thanks to the fake radio mouths, those who never had a say are defending the very people who rape them financially. They're defending the very people who tell them that living in good health is a privilege. They're defending those who would keep them as low down as low down exists.

I think that there's no reason in the world to believe that The Regime was not involved in 9/11. The Regime, by the way, is what I call what is otherwise known as the George W. Bush administration. The Bush Administration, indeed.

I don't know who killed Kennedy.

I believe Obama was born in the US.

I don't know whether or not FDR knew about Pearl Harbor ahead of time.

I don't know if intelligent beings from other planets or galaxies have visited this planet.

I don't consider myself a conspiracy theorist. However, if there seems to be a conspiracy in effect, I will theorize about it.

Here's one.

The middle class, as it manifested itself in the "50s and "60s, is being beaten down. Good paying manufacturing jobs are being sent to third world slave labor nations and the CEOs of the corporations which are doing that are using bulldozers to skim from the top of corporate profits. This is finally beginning to be realized by members of the middle class as they lose their jobs, their homes, their health insurance and so forth.

With the middle class beginning to realize these facts, The Corporacracy, the true government of the US, had to make sure that those non-thinking members of the middle class didn't begin to listen to those members who actually think.

The solution "" make an African American their front man. They know that a huge portion of the American middle class hate as a rule and they definitely hate people from whom they differ. Most members of this American middle class have barely begun to tolerate people with brown skin, let alone people with black skin.
