Invasion and occupation of Iraq exquisitely delineates The People from the elite. The People are paid measly soldiers’ wages to risk their lives, too often losing their lives or coming home physically and/or mentally maimed only to be cheated in every way possible by CorpoGov. And the elite? Consider this example published by the Associated Press on 8-9-07, the title: Romney defends sons’ decision not to enlist. [4] Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney avoided Vietnam with his Mormon missionary work, and high draft lottery number. Last week, after delivering a speech in Bettendorf, Iowa, calling for a “surge of support” for our forces in Iraq, Romney was asked why none of his 5 sons had joined the military. “They are showing support for their nation,” said Romney, “by helping me get elected because they think I’d be a great president.” Romney’s net worth exceeds two hundred million dollars.
The People endure slashing of essential services only to see their tax dollars fund war crimes—a trillion dollars so far and still soaring. The elite, in addition to enjoying major tax reductions, are raking in astronomical profits from America’s war crimes. For them, war is the most profitable game going, especially if it is not actually war, but a simple sacking where nothing is really at stake but profits, lives of the poor, and foreigners.
The list of things making life so rich for the elites while making things so poor for The People is growing so enormous, but it takes only a short list to touch upon some of the main things that could better the lives of The People:
If CorpoGov had not engineered the horror of 9-11, killing almost 3,000 of its own citizens to gain an excuse for attacking and sacking energy-rich nations—to get the “new Pearl Harbor” they have prayed for to accelerate America’s “benign global hegemony” (a euphemism for conquering the world) [5], and setting the industrial military complex out of control as a menace to The People, and the world.
If the Constitution of the United States of America were not debased. W’s oath to “preserve, protect and defend” the Constitution has so decayed that the Constitution is now considered by the President of the United States of America to be a simple “goddamned piece of paper” [6].
If the essentially unending pageant of lies and posturing leading up to “election” of a new President actually had anything to do with what The People want, and how they vote, instead of another elite selection of someone safe to their interests. When such a formerly crucial process is rendered such a farce as that which allowed this latest occupation of the White House by another of the Bush crime family, it infects the entire country but ultimately, hurts The People most.
If catastrophic effects of global warming, peak oil without adequate clean alternative energies, fresh-water crises, overpopulation, imminence of nuclear war...if not for virtually everything CorpoWorld, CorpoGov, and CorpoMedia are euphemizing into pap for the masses were appropriately addressed, instead of profit being the only priority...see why CorpoMedia is playing up the “attitudes” of people in the richest 47 countries, instead of talking about anything of substance, which implies reality?
Next time you read of reality in CorpoMedia, especially things being “...in tension with reality”, perhaps the foremost thing to consider would be: Whose reality?
