"UNITED" or "INSURGENCY"??

Could This Be Our Last "Independence" Day?

As a Major in the Air Force in the early 1970's, I enrolled in Command and General Staff training.  It was a program in which I had to write papers on various topics, and I wrote one on the Multinational Corporation.  As I researched the legislation passed by our Congress, I became disturbed by one facet of the legislation;  it appeared that these entities lacked allegiance to any country in the world, by law.  Over the years since, it appears I was right.  They can choose whether or where to pay taxes, and they can hide their earnings off-shore. 

They have also, in the interim, shipped the jobs of this country off-shore.  They defend their actions by claims that they "can't compete" because of over-regulation and a "lack of certainty" for business.  Since when did businesses of any size come to expect "certainty" or shields from "competition"?  Add to that the fact that these corporations now own the legislators that created them; and the circle is complete.

John Kenneth Galbraith wrote that power has at least three key ingredients; they are organization, money, and strong leadership.  Multinational Corporations have all of these, at minimum.  In their wake,other elements of our society have followed in this path; most notably, religious organizations that have become very powerful financial institutions using the advantages afforded them through our tax laws.

These moneyed religious groups have morphed into political groups that have invaded our institutions, like the Repoobs.  Get the picture?

What stands against all of this?  The people, united, well-informed, willing and able to vote.

How well informed are we?  The Yin Yang Media (also Multinational Corporations) are determined to keep us "entertained", especially with "news".  As a result we're zombified and kept in a posture wherein we walk with our heads up our rectums, viewing the world through our belly-buttons.

It didn't use to be this way.  And we still have a chance to right this ship (or, take charge of the bus).

Stay Vigilant!
