In their fear, they have invaded our internet privacy and sanctioned illegal search and seizure, unwarranted arrest, and contemptuous harassment, and created a private, for-profit prison system.

In their greed for immense profit, they created the regressive tax system of supply-side economics, now cloaking it with the disingenuous terminology of neoliberalism.

For their amoral profit, they have polluted the air, the rivers, and the seas.

In their greed, they have bribed and instituted a political system of financial fraud and banker criminality that has forced mankind into a plastic conformity of debt peonage, and despairing alienation.

In their anger, they have set up an economic system that coerces the young, against their will, to join their killing armies and wage murderous wars against the innocent and gentle people of other sovereign nations.

In their mania for power and control, they have created a political-extortion industry, of corporations being considered people, and money being free speech, making an unempowered politically engineered anxious class subservient to the one-percent over class.

They have, in every manner, attempted to impose a robotized uniformity, in order to crush sovereignty, individuality, independence, and freedom of speech and thought.

Yet, they never admit a mistake. They unceasingly blather about the virtue of greed and war and faux democracy building.

The good and soulful admit their past misdeeds, and seek forgiveness, redemption and atonement, while the bad, the evil and the misanthropes in power, driven by their unconscionable greed, continue to create incalculable human suffering for millions, always denying their trespasses.

Their obvious errors and Potus's daily multitude of lies only sickly stimulate them to greater destructive pathologies of error and noisier narcissist self-approval and delusion.

The fallen empire of the United States will now use Iran as their scapegoat for failed U.S. policies in the Middle East, and their abject failures in their heresy hunts, in the war against religious Shiism.

These immoral imperialists, these Pentagon generals dressed in the decorated uniforms of mental strait jackets, these Congressional representatives, Republicans and Democrats, two parties obsequious to the same donor class, these Congressmen who on December 17, 1999, during the impeachment hearings of POTUS, approved a 1.4 trillion Defense Authorization Act and struck from the legislation the requirements of Congressional approval of any act of war, have in their greed, and acts of insider trading, perpetuated an economy that makes the killing machine of the manufacture and selling of weapons the basis of our economy.

It's as if, these abhorrent humans, infatuated by their own corrupt wealth creation, have been mentally transported into some unconscionable addiction to a god complex, where they claim private, personal ownership of God's land, driving by force of arms, the gentle from their passage on the earth.

We have warned the propertied class of their iniquities in their immoral brandishing of imperial power and blind aggression. We have attempted to point out their warped and withered sense of righteousness. Yet, worshiping only force and money, they listen to only force and money.

The class struggle is the backdrop to the framing of our Constitution in 1787. At the Constitutional Convention, our Founding Fathers were very conscious of the anger they saw in parts of the colonies, and the rising of the poor against the rich. General Henry Knox wrote to George Washington: "These people, because they fought and won the Revolution, against

England, think that they are entitled to an equal share of the wealth of this country."
