I am beginning to conclude that the people of the United States of America are so numbed through years of seduction by all of those who effectively screw them into the ground that they are incapable of discerning right from wrong. They just go with the flow, hope for the best, and seem impervious at the extent to which they are a party to the selling of America to the most skilled crooks among us.
The so-called Financial Reform Bill, among others of this administration, is one of the biggest shams ever perpetrated against the common folk. The “Clinton Mafia” remains intact and are more powerful than ever. They control every key financial position in the Obama White House. They frame the arguments and our illustrious “Change We Can Believe in Boy, “sells them to the most vulnerable among us. He doesn’t even have to bother with a flowery speech anymore. Just a few words to a compliant news media and he is off and running with yet another coup that costs us, the citizens, dearly for years to come. Wall Street is flourishing with our tax dollars. The Federal Reserve is growing in power, influence and secrecy. Chris Dodd has proven himself to be the most consummate whore to ever sit in government, with absolutely no shame whatsoever. However, let us not lose sight of the fact that everything he does is carefully and deliberately orchestrated by the White House.
All of the above against the backdrop of the “Johnny Come Lately” advocates of fiscal conservatism, after having raped the country into a “recession” following their plunder of the country under the perverted inspiration and leadership of such paragons of virtue as Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. It didn’t bother them one damned bit to cut countless millions of the unemployed off at the ankles by not renewing their unemployment benefits in the midst of the greatest financial calamity to hit this country since the Great Depression. They have accused those unfortunate souls of the same dark motives and unsavory conduct that they seem so accomplished at themselves. As the old saying goes, “A dog smells his own hole first.” They are the most motley bunch of losers to have ever sat in the halls of government. They haven’t had an original idea since Teddy Roosevelt left the White House. They have elevated stealing and self-righteousness to new levels of obscenity. They are a disgrace to everything decent people stand for, and they know it. All of this under the inspired leadership of such towers of intellect and charisma as Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Plain, Glenn Beck, Michael Steele, and others of the same ilk.
Then there is the whole army of “progressives,” that fawn all over our President and his henchmen who are behind every scheme to further plunder the country for the oligarchs and the plutocrats. A goodly number of them are among the pseudo-educated elite that rake in hefty salaries which place them in the higher income brackets. They cap out in their FICA taxes at $100,600 while the average person pays the same tax on virtually every cent he/she earns. When they don’t agree with the law they summarily ignore it, impugn the motives of those who believe in the rule of law, reframe the argument in language that has a lofty and noble ring to it, and champion the cause of all the illegals in this country at the expense of those who pay the taxes for the oligarchs and plutocrats steal. And the music plays as the carousel goes round and round. They skillfully and completely avoid any mention of the fact that we have this problem because of years of collusion between government, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and a business community salivating at the thought of yet more cheap labor from south of the border just waiting to be reduced to indentured servitude so we, the consumers who complain about their numbers can, in turn, further binge on the cheap goods they produce.
But, where is John Q. Public in all this? Those who are still employed and living the good life simply sit back and say “hurray for me and fuck you.” That is so American, don’t you think? Do the bastards even have a soul, much less feel for anyone other than their gluttonous selves? Do they even know what is going on around them, much less care? I rather doubt it. They are utterly revolting to everything decent and good. So, let them pursue all of their wildest dreams rooted in an endless materialistic and hedonistic pursuit in life. But, take note, it won’t last forever and they, too, will have to face reality at some point in their poor wretched lives. I can’t help but wonder if any of them have ever so much as glanced in the mirror and asked themselves “How is the world better by virtue of my having been here?“ Damned few I suspect. It is time they get real and accept the fact that, rather than having been ordained by whatever deity they worship, they are probably not here by design. Rather, they are more likely to have entered this world through a moment of passion (hopefully more than just wanton lust). This is one game, however, where they can’t cram for the finals. They are what they are, and are likely destined to take it all to the grave, reduced to a pile of ashes or a rotting corpse just like the billions who have gone before believing they, too, were something special and unique.
Isn’t it about time we all took stock, sobered up and counted for something before the final bell tolls?
