Our corporate governance sumptuously funds the management of both financially permitted political parties, while having conglomerate media make a great show of the choice between these two parties, both equally beholden to a strict defense of the status quo intrinsic necessity for capital growth at whatever human cost. Media conglomerates act in collusion to manufacture public consent to war through selection of which news information and history to emphasize and which to underplay or black out from coverage. Our monolithic media is in a symbiotic relationship with a pathetically desperate power elite that makes war upon humanity to shore up its hegemony of world resources for the purpose of inexplicably hurried, short-sighted, and often criminal profit for the few, at the expense of the many.

You described this well, Dr. King, when you said, "With righteous indignation, I look across the seas and see individual capitalists of the West investing huge sums of money in Asia, Africa, and South America, only to take the profits out with no concern for the social betterment of the countries” Increasingly, by choice or by accident, this is the role our nation has taken: ... by refusing to give up the privileges and the pleasures that come from the immense profits of overseas investments… we are on the side of the wealthy and the secure, while we create a hell for the poor" We now are beginning to appreciate that the system is in the long run ruinous to its own preservation.
