The Complete Sabotage of Our Democracy is no longer just a Conspiracy Theory.
QUICK NOTE: I have been "silently" watching our Nation spin out of control; Silently, by filling my time commenting on News Articles on HuffPo, and blathering like a rapid idiot on Facebook. I should be more engaged, like most Americans should, I believe, trying to provide bigger and longer conversations about hot topics within our Country. Nothing wrong with those quick little paragraphical rants on FB, or the 140 word count "did you hear this, see that..." that Twitter provides. Facebook and Twitter offer abilities that Blogs just cant provide, but seem to lack the ability to dive deeper into the conversation on hand, just because of the expected attention span of the average reader. I understand that there are always Trolls on these Social Media sites, as well as, the Intellectual; both of whom, like to preach on and on, for paragraphs. I fall into the later. Sometimes, it is to be expected that people will chime in this way, but by my observation, more people limit themselves to one paragraph or one or two sentences. I have no concrete evidence of that at all, just an observation. So with that said...on to the topic at hand.The Complete Sabotage of Our Democracy is no longer just a Conspiracy Theory.
The Republican Congress currently, as we all know, is doing everything in its power to destroy or fracture whats left of Middle Class America. They completely shut down our Government because of the ADA and the fear of Tea Party Repercussion; well repercussion from the Koch Brothers for sure, and their money. They even admit to it. “We have to do this because of the Tea Party. If we don’t, these guys are going to get primaried and they are going to lose their primary.” stated Rep. Greg Walden (R-OR). Mitch McConnell is going to ask the Supreme Court to completely do away with Campaign Finance limitations. So here, they sort of admit that Money has become the key factor of why they 'fear' to do the right thing; yet they want to unleash this beast even more. Americas Democracy has fallen, or is falling...falling to the greed and influence of the Oligarchs that are now in control of what used to be our Democracy. At the same time the GOP is being bought out by the Koch Brothers and the Democratic Party seems to be well on its way to be influenced by the Big Bank System here in America. Not only did we see our President, not prosecute any of the top executives that helped collapse the Global economy, but he employed some of them to sit on his Cabinet; example Obama’s chief-of-staff, is former JPMorgan Chase & Co. executive Bill Daley; who replaced Emanuel, who once worked for Goldsman Sachs. Lets not forget to mention that Attorney General Eric Holder, has ties to some of the Big Banks through a top tier Law Firm. Now the President is working behind close doors with some of the Biggest World Corporations Lobbyists on the Trans Pacific Free Trade Agreement:
"in a $500 a night Beverly Hills Hotel, the Obama administration’s U.S. Trade Representative is gathering in secret with negotiators from around the world for a session that could create a whole new set of international trade rules: rules that favor the wealthy 1% of corporate interests...the Trans Pacific Free Trade Agreement (TPP for short) would likely be the largest regional free trade agreement the United States has ever seen. Negotiators want new “NAFTA of the Pacific” set of rules for the global economic highway that could eventually include every Pacific Rim nation from Vietnam, Thailand, and Japan to Australia, Canada, Mexico and Russia. And instead of an open, transparent process the text is completely secret to the public while hundreds of corporate lobbyists from the biggest drug companies, job-killing corporations, major global banks, and agribusiness giants have been registered as “advisors” to the process...Bankers and traders wants to use the Trans-Pacific FTA to roll back new safeguards many nations have passed to get banks and securities firms under control and restore financial stability. They are proposing to lock in the extreme deregulation that led to the devastating financial crisis." - http://www.laprogressive.com/free-trade-agreement/http://www.laprogressive.com/free-trade-agreement/
These are just but a few examples of the ongoing attack against the American People and our Democracy, that we should be fully aware of. So many of us turn blind eyes to the Parties that we believe with must be loyal too, in fear that the other guy may use whatever it is that they are trying to ignore, against them. There was a great article recently posted on the website Activistpost.com by Michael Synder titled World Bank Whistleblower Karen Hudes Reveals How The Global Elite Rule The World that I would recommend reading. Karen Hudes, a Yale educated Lawyer who worked for the Legal Department at the World Bank, became the next Big Whistle Blower, who has largely been ignored by Mainstream Media. This article points out exactly what we are witnessing everyday by the Oligarchy, here in America; through the Global viewpoint by the WB. Karen Hudes contends that the WB's role Globally is:
"[is too] control. They want all of us enslaved to debt, they want all of our governments enslaved to debt, and they want all of our politicians addicted to the huge financial contributions that they funnel into their campaigns. Since the elite also own all of the big media companies, the mainstream media never lets us in on the secret that there is something fundamentally wrong with the way that our system works."
Something I think most of us can all ready agree on. The 'Will' to dominate is a plaque and seems to be inherent in us, as a species. Greed has become the key denominator in all these equations. And we have allowed money to dominate our electoral process, our justice system, our health care system, our educational system, and we have done little to rebel strongly enough to get money out of the central core of these issues. Take for instance our politicians on either side of the aisle, have yet to be willing to support a repeal or constitutional amendment to make Citizens United obsolete.
We must stop being so quiet about the effects of money in our Political system, if we are ever to regain control of this Democracy...and some of us need to stop ignoring that this is the major plague that is causing the desparities that we see, daily, all around us.
