(published by THE AMERICAN DISSIDENT, Fall, 2001)

are we all alone
individually

buyers
selling out
 sellers

buying out

not much is as it seems             
              but

do you care

dumb
fat

and

happy
 

thats what weve become 

learning is a nightmare
believing is a dream

dream on
until it attacks you
 

dream on
until you are the victim
 

ignore
the death sentence
that
The Corporacracy
has bestowed upon us

we are but
their
blind
dogs
 
 

we are but
their

foolish

puppets
 

we are but
what

they

want

ignore it
it will go away

         no

we will go away
like birds who

migrate to a

temporarily

more

pleasant

fantasy
 

good your ears are shut
tighter than a drum

dont listen
because

the truth is too hard to take

The illegal alien market....billions of bucks to be had!

One of the gangsters who is a part of the Bush Administration once said that when they had accomplished their goal the US government will have been reduced in size so that it will fit in a bath tub.  From what we see of the privatization of traditional, military responsibilities it's clear that there's a sincere effort underway to cash-in BIG by having corporations supplant government.  Clearly, the attitude is "There's billions to be made here!   ....and with very little, if any, oversight!"  We also know that prisons have been privatized all across the country. I am told that while George Bush was Governor the prison system in Texas was the fastest growth industry in the state.  The list is long [and growing] of responsibilities that have traditionally been a part of government but which are now in the hands of corporations.  The article [below] exposes some of the mouth-watering greed that drives the transition  to privatization.  The article also exposes some of the gross human rights violation that result from such privatization. 

One is reminded of the contented frog who sat in the skillet and was cooked to death as the heat was brought up so slowly he couldn't sense the danger he was in.  Fellow frogs, welcome to the transition to classical fascism.  It's well underway.  With only a few exceptions, DC Democrats and DC Republicans are serving as willing ushers.  Like nothing else could have, 9/11 cleared the way to accelerate the transition to fascism....Cheney & Co's perfect world.   George Shultz and Henry Kissinger must surely slap their knees in wonderment that it's been so easy....so far.
