Stopping the Gravy Train

You,  and I mean the person reading this blog, is paying for the massive gravy train our government provides to businesses such as GE, Monsanto, Koch Bros. Google, Microsoft and many others.  Your money is paying for a massive benefit to these companies through low immigrant wages, direct purchases and help to foreign countries which then buy goods and services from these huge conglomerates.  The net result is the rape of my pockets and yours.

Keeping up the myth of climate change is another way the government justifies moving our money out of our pockets to its benefactors.  The push now to steal the election from Trump or Cruz is just another round of efforts by the powerful to keep the gravy train going.  Mid-Eastern countries and Europe don’t want Trump because they are worried that their ability to pillage U.S. wealth will come to an end.

The underlying powers in the U.S. are huge.  As individuals unless we all voice that we want the democratic process, not the bought and paid for special interest process to work, we will lose our country to the pillagers.  These people want profits at the expense of middle class opportunity and at the expense of any national interest.  The next time someone in your neighborhood is robbed by an illegal immigrant, you can point your finger at Congress and at those interests that are letting even criminal illegal immigrants remain free. Perhaps we should all stop buying GE products or using the Google search engine.

Somehow those companies need to learn its in their best interest to defend American interests, not just their own pockets.

 

Reincarnation and Climate Change

China recently made it clear that they needed to approve of any person that was reincarnated as the next Dalai Lama.  Now, we all know that except in the case of Jesus Christ, reincarnation has never been proven to occur.  Even he was not reincarnated, he was resurrected.  The Romans 2000 years ago also tried to deny the return of Christ. The point here, whether its the  Chinese government or the Romans two millennia ago, is that there is no limit on the power governments want to assume.  The authority they want, the control they crave does not even have to exist for them to assume it belongs to them

So we get to the United States. Here the Obama administration has debated suing oil companies for being climate change deniers.   They want to control what people think through the force of law.  Even though there are lots of scientists on both sides of this issue, its an issue that hampers their efforts at controlling who uses oil and how much oil they use.   It is the height of arrogance and the antithesis of a representative republic (democracy).

Recently, I fixed our sump pump.  This small device controls whether or not our basement floods.  It moves water and sludge from the crawl space to the outside.  It controls whether our foundation remains solid or whether it erodes destroying our house.  Watching our government  it is clear that the mechanism for protecting the foundation of our democracy has failed.  The sump pump of Congress and the courts whose job it is to keep the sludge out of our system have failed.  Like the sump pump at home, they need an overhaul.

Unseen Forces Trying to Tear Apart The United States

On the front page of the Communist Party USA  website there is the following falsehood and quote:

“Every day, Black residents of Ferguson and Missouri face possible abuse and death at the hands of an officer due to discriminatory…”

In addition, according to Fox news, in Ferguson after the riots, flyers from the Communist Party were found encouraging rioters and protesters.    The fact that the officer in Ferguson was defending himself against a thug who had just committed a strong arm robbery in a convenience store is completely ignored.  The riots, based strictly on news propaganda and falsehoods have resulted in gun shots and businesses burned to the ground.

Not only is the Communist Party of the United States well represented among the rioters but the New Black Panthers have also been promoters of the riots and associated violence.  These groups are leading masses of students and poorly educated rabble to believe that there is some conspiracy to harm black people in America.  The truth is far more sinister and sad. These rioters have been manipulated so that these groups can promote their own agenda,  destroying the fabric of capitalism.  The very thing that has created such prosperity in this country is the thing they want destroyed.  It is a philosophy that believes that if one person has more, that person should be destroyed and the fruits of his labor taken from him.

When Barrack Obama told the protesters to “Stay the course.”  he was clearly sending the message that he sides with those that want to tear the fabric of this country apart.    These riots were and continue to be planned, encouraged and supported by the federal government.  They are a threat to democracy.  Their timing also helps hide the recent unconstitutional step the President has taken to allow illegal immigrants work permits in violation of the law.

The masses of people protesting blindly absorb the information they are being fed by the networks and media.  Fueled by that and the undercurrent of communist rhetoric they follow into the streets with some idea that their protests will result in a better life for themselves.

The reality  is that the protests will result in less policing in the black community.  The killers and thugs that roam many of the inner cities now will be given free reign and more black on black crime will result.  Fewer businesses will locate in black communities further impoverishing them.  From the standpoint of the Communist Party that creates  more strife with which to encourage more violence and social destruction.   These communities are being spoon fed to be the fodder for a social revolution.  All they while they are getting poorer and more violent.  The result will be death and destruction of the very things that enable these communities to survive currently.

Poverty in America means power in every household, cell phones, indoor plumbing, free education, free food, and often free medical care.  As the riots continue and the ancillary results are seen, these things will also be destroyed.  The communist’s agenda always results in outhouses and poverty for everyone.  It is sad that so many are willing to follow as lambs to the slaughter to push a discredited philosophy of which they themselves are ignorant.

Every American needs to speak out against these forces.  The media, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, and CBS needs to stop being complicit in promoting this violence and held to account for their failure to report the truth.   Those responsible for looting and destruction need to be held accountable.  Those promoting violence need to be arrested and punished for the resulting violence.  The riots have been spreading even though the basis, (Than Michael Brown was targeted.) is a lie.  The power of being able to lead sheep through propaganda, a huge threat to democracy.

A New Low – In all the News

Today, looking at the Drudge report between stories about Iran, Government snooping, a threat to the internet and about the softball questions 60 minutes gave to Obama, the story that caught my eye was a story about a women who died of cancer but was heard yelling from within her coffin.   It really is not all that different than looking at endless puppy videos on YouTube, or frittering away time on Candy Crush.  Who wants to deal with the real stuff.

The real stuff is the stuff of the economy, politics, society, crime, war, terrorists, threats and the impact of history on our day to day lives.  We have become a society that has often mastered the ability to distract ourselves from the real stuff.  In a democratic society that distraction is dangerous.  The people in charge of keeping watch on the government in our country is us.  The constitution says so, “We The People”.  If we the people are not staying on top of things, being aware, being educated and fighting for freedom, then we will lose the freedom that has allowed us to become the most secure, and prosperous country in the world.

With cell phones, IPads, tablets, games, social media and the digital boob tube we have let the entertainment industry distract us and take us way away from what’s important.     If we as a nation were far less distracted, there is no limit to what we could accomplish.  We need to take our brains back from never never land.
