The U.S. Government, so obsessed with “homeland” security cannot protect you, your children, not even your pets.
The administration has mortgaged us to the “Communist” Chinese in order to wage Imperial Wars and to further fatten some of these
very same multinational corporations who outsourced jobs to China originally and continue to import tainted goods from sub-contracted, sweatshop factories.
So the “Communist” Chinese are our Loan Sharks. They hold our I.O.U.-dollars and Treasury Bonds. And as long as we buy their cost-cutting, poisonous goods, Imperial Wars and deadly Import Games will go on. The Transnationals will suck us dry of our money while the War of Terror assures rule by Neocons.
The Chinese didn’t make these loans because they like us, or because propping up a Plutocrat-bloated, crumbling Empire makes sense.
They did it so they could have us by the short hairs, and in case BushCo belatedly decided to implement protective tariffs and ask for economic sanctions, they could call in our 900 billion dollar debt.
They can dump these Treasury Bonds and other dollar assets any time they damn well please, reduce us to Third World economic status and, further, determine America’s Foreign Policy.
The Ownership Society and Homeland Security scams have also made it possible for Transnationals to screw you, poison your children, take your job, rights and Safety Net, and since you can’t sue them think there’s nothing you can do.
The world’s been made secure for corporations and their privileged few majority shareholders who gorge on 90% of the Economic Pie and laugh at the rest of us as they go floating over
in their gold-plated, untouchable dirigibles to view the devastation they designed and we financed with our purchases of their tainted Chinese products and our support for economic plunder and genocide.
They’ll laugh it up on the French Riviera, their Mediterranean villas and estancias in Paraguay, while we kill each other over what’s left of the food and water. Is this really the way you thought you’d see your children die?
We’ve got a Constitution. It’s time to read it. Think about the implementation of Article V. Work for the integrity of the vote via paper ballots. What constitutes this government is what the governed decide.
And while we have the right to change our government, an armed insurrection would only play into the hands of those who passed repressive laws like the PATRIOT Act so they could slap our ass in KBR concentration camps.
Repeat. Read the U.S. Constitution. Think about implementing Article V. Restore voting integrity. Run for office. Stop shopping. Turn off the TV. Start getting your news online.
Vi's works appear widely both in print and online. She conducts Poetry Workshops and gives readings in Central New York. Her latest chapbook is "Sine Qua Non Antiques (an Arcanum of History, Geography and Treachery).
I Know the risk is as bad as you paint it. I have no desire to give a lecture on inernational finance and Economics (it would take too long). I therefore suggest you read a bit more about the topics.
They maybe Communist and Chinese which is clearly very different to you but don't underestimate them. They know that it is in their interests to maintain the link. As for the 'third world status' remark all I can say is Chicken Little would be pleased.
