Through this pitting of Fox News and CNN, we are divided and thusly controlled. In our blindness, we are quickly becoming slaves in the States. We are paid less, barely have benefits (e.g., health) and are working more hours for less compensation.

Thus, how do we pay for medical benefits whose costs have sky rocketed? Do we rely on the system to make it easy for those of us who are not wealthy? Its not happening! It's not going to happen!

Indeed, if the powers that be have it their way, there will be no benefits.

So, what if we designed a system, from the bottom up, in which the powers that be have no power over us? What would that look like? Could we have a system of self-governance in which we are able to pay for services? What would that look like to you? Be creative! You and everyone else are the designer.

This is a big deal. It means we Eves (the Labor Class, not just women) need to fire, or divorce our abusive husband (Corporation)! In the meantime, WE need to take the reigns over our lives! We don't need a "Puppet Master" because we are NOT puppets! We should have never been puppets and never shall we allow ourselves to be puppets.

This current economic mess we are experiencing in the USA was fostered by corporate activities such as outsourcing to countries such as China. Yes, their long-term goal was to murder the middle classes here in the states. They also wanted to bust unions. God forbid we have organizations that represented the general Joe and Jane! The primary goal of the corporation (in general) has been to return to a feudal state where landowners (i.e., banks and corporations) own the government and the people it is supposed to serve.

We are thus a fascist state. Hitler may have lost a battle. But he has won the war. So have the Rothchilds and others in that upper 1%!

We have allowed ourselves to be akin to ants under the shoes of a sociopathic giant.
