Getting to Know Me Beyond 140 characters on Twitter

By Jeanette Borges @ourrighttoknow2

A person that is partisan is limited in thinking and in solutions said Joshua Chamberlain a famous general and politician from the Civil War. I agree whole heartedly. Partisanship and religion limit people’s capacity to think and reason for themselves.

We are living in such serious times. Republicans are trying to elect a Presidential candidate and the process has been stunning.  Talk of war with Iran is becoming so common place that I ask myself what are people thinking?  Simply because people hate Obama and are Republican they defend whatever stance Republican candidates make about bombing Iran. In their minds questioning their candidates is out of the question. We are talking about yet another war as if this was a platform on which a Presidential candidate should run or sell himself to the voters. It’s mind boggling. What are these voters thinking? How are they thinking?  Democrats or liberals are no different. Anything any other person besides Obama says or does simply blocks their frontal cortex.

Don’t they know these candidates are for sale to American Israel Public Affairs Committee  (AIPAC  the most powerful lobby in the United States) and Christian Zionists  who believe that Jews are at the center of the second coming of Christ. (See What is a Christian Zionist?) War is for sale to these politicians for whom everything is for sale. This is a horrid threat to the economic solvency of the United States. Our strength lies in our fiscal solvency and we are trillions dollars in debt because of 10 years of unpaid wars and the insanity of tax cuts at the same time.  No one cuts taxes in wartime. You have to pay for wars and Bush and Republicans exploded our debt by not paying for them giving tax cuts at the same time and handed this debt down to all of us.

Try telling this to someone who hates Obama. They will call you a Marxist. Simply because of their hate for Obama and Democrats, rational thinking is beyond them. Try telling a Christian Zionist that war with Iran is insanity and they will call you a Jew hater. Is rational thinking beyond their capacity? Am I Jew hater because I do everything in my power to dispel the same kind of war propaganda that led us to war with Iraq and I know Israel has 300 illegal, never inspected nukes otherwise known as WMD? Remember the WMD threat then? Are we as a people that stupid to be fooled twice by politicians and corrupt media who are for sale and serve war profiteers, the Israeli and Christian Zionist lobby? Really? Are we going to buy what they are selling, WAR,  like we buy a pair of Nikes?

Congress can’t stop counting campaign dollars long enough to legislate free from corruption. What are we thinking as a people that have the freedom to vote for our leaders when partisanship has rendered us void of intelligent analysis and debate? My party right or wrong is destroying this country because we as a people don’t take our precious right to vote for our leaders seriously. We have to vote for those that have our Nation’s best interest at heart, not the Republican or the Democrat simply because that is what they are.
In the space of month Congress has passed the National Defense Authorization Act which makes the United States a battlefield and puts the military in charge of crimes without the right to a trial, a lawyer and subjects American citizens to indefinite detention, even if some of the politicians that voted for it say it doesn’t.

In the same month the House of Representative is  set to pass SOPA with many supporters all of whom have received money from Hollywood who has outspent 4 to 1 the money from those who oppose it.  The Senate’s counterpart of SOPA, the PROTECT IP Act, seems set to pass also. Both these bills promise extraordinary censorship of the Internet.

Does it matter what the American people who don’t have lobbyists and can’t bribe Congress, think? Does it matter?

Previously Congress passed Obamycare which takes part of Medicare and will subsidize with taxpayer money private, price gouging health insurance companies in 2014. Congress goes to work every day to find ways of taking a piece of the taxpayer pie and to give it to the highest bidders. Ryancare is Obamycare on steroids. It will take the whole of Medicare, every penny and give it to price gouging health insurance companies. Both these plans are incredibly corrupt and steal from the taxpayer pie to give to the oligarchs that Congress and Presidents  serve.

Medicare Part D, a gift to phama to the tune of trillions while passing tax cuts, was another corrupt gift to give a piece of the tax payer pie to the highest bidders.

Social Security is broke we are told. What has happened to Social Security in the past ten years that has put it at risk like we are told? Congress has been stealing from Social Security to pay for eternal wars while giving tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans who have profited from these wars while we bury our troops. Both parties have done this. There are others even more corrupt that would hand Social Security over to Wall Street.

Has anyone watched the drama about the middle class tax cuts that the Senate passed for 2 months and the House refused to consider at all before going home for the Christmas holiday? Congress is not broken. It's corrupt. If we could bribe Congress like the rich do those cuts would have passed in both houses for 10 years like the Bush tax cuts passed.

I could go on and on about how nothing is sacred with Congress or Presidents who bar nothing as long as the price is right, but partisanship and religion will block reason with some.

I am an Independent. I’m not a Marxist, racist or Jew hater. I simply know math and I am not partisan because Congress is not partisan. It is completely bipartisan in corruption while we the people fight amongst each other.

As I see this election unfolding I registered as a Republican to vote for Ron Paul in the Florida primaries to do my part to defeat Neocon, Teocon anti conservative candidates that want to bomb Iran,  from winning the primaries. Ron Paul will be slammed by MSM and Cable news, especially Fox because the anointed one is Mitt Romney and they want to decide our elections for us. Liberals slam me for doing this because Ron Paul is against Social Security, Medicare and would let corporations poison the very water we drink.  Here’s the thing: he can’t do any of that without Congress. He can however without Congress end these wars and I believe that he will.

In doing so he will strengthen Social Security because that money will never be used to fund these wars.
Ron Paul will be called a racist because of publications from 20 years ago. He will be called a Jew hater because of his foreign policy. To me he is just a candidate that will end the wars. Does that make me a racist and a Jew hater?

If anyone other than Ron Paul wins the Republican primaries I will vote for Obama. The American people are sick and tired of wars for war profiteers and the Zionist Christian right that thinks we are still fighting the Crusades. “Neocon” is an oxymoron so flagrant that only morons believe Neocons are “conservatives" and those voters are not conservatives either. Republicans and the Tea Party had better think against electing another anti conservative, huge spending, huge government and less freedoms, Neocon or Teocon because they will hand victory over to Obama. McCain’s bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran song lost him the election to Obama.

I’m on Twitter allot and if you are here you came from there. Tweeters usually follow those who tend to agree with them. I find that odd. I choose to follow anyone especially if they disagree because I like to see what other people think and sometimes I am stunned by what I see on the screen.  In the same way I watch Rachel Maddow, Cenk Uygur and Olberman on Current because if I limit myself to just Fox I would be part of the most uninformed group citizens in America. (I’m glad I do cause if not I would not know about any other candidate other then Mitt Romney. LOL) You can’t just listen to people who you think are on your side and feed your belief system. They are just playing to a targeted audience. (If you think the motor mouths on TV care for truth I have some swampland for sale)

One thing is true. I tweet, you tweet and others tweet but we don’t know each other. Beyond 140 characters we don’t care much about the person behind the tweet and at times people will offend attack or label the person they are responding to. I hate that. I wish we all cared to know about the person behind the tweet. Agree with me or not, I care to know what makes people that don’t agree me, tick. Shouldn’t everyone?

PS Check out www.usdayofrage.org and please retweet if you think that we could all use a little thinking and reasoning outside of our comfort zones and that different views are a source of information, not a source of scorn.

War with Iran: Easy Sell to Anti-Conservative Republicans

Author: Jeanette Borges  Twitter @ourrighttoknow2


FYI Ron Paul vs Bachman Iowa Debates (check out the crowd) 

As I watched the last Iowa Republican debate (December 15th) I was struck by the thundering applause of the crowd for the big spending, big government Neocon candidates and their pissing contest to go to war with Iran. It pained me to see the self- proclaimed “conservative” crowd cheering for the “more war Neocons” (an oxymoron so flagrant that only morons believe Neocons are “conservative).

If conservative means small government and less spending (and I think we all agree on that) there was nothing “conservative” about this crowd or the voters that support “war with Iran” candidates. Our corrupt corporate media has been so successful at twisting the minds of the electorate with word games, that “conservatives” think they are conservative when they support big spending, HUGE government Neocons. To be clear, wars explode government. Wars sky rocket spending and worse than that, wars erode our freedoms. To support wars is no different than supporting “big government, big spending” liberals and that may be because Neocons have their roots in liberal democrats who wanted to spread democracy all over the world and came to the aid and support Israel. Neocons and those that vote for them are no different then the supposedly "big spending, huge government" liberal Democrats. They do the same thing, but on wars. They love to spend, grow government and limit our freedom with wars.

The power of the corporate military media industrial complex cannot be underestimated. The stage is being set for another war for the war profiteers. The military industrial complex has always lobbied for eternal wars, but now we have a new actor. The Christian Zionist religious right that have inserted themselves into the Tea Party and the Republican party are actively lobbying (bribing) Congress and our presidential candidates to go to war with Iran, not for their love of Israel, but because the destruction of Israel will bring the second coming of Christ.   There are so many more peaceful,  limited government Christians that respect the Constitution then this extreme group that actively pursues war with Iran and is lobbying to get it. "Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called sons of God" (Matthew 5.9) Someone should tell the Christian Zionists.

At the heart of the preparation for any war is gaining public support. The war has to be sold to the populace like a pair of Nikes, just like the war with Iraq was. Who does the selling? Our criminal, despicable, corrupt military media industrial complex otherwise known by fools as our “free press”. Even bigger fools know it as Fox “News”, the ultimate war propaganda tool and the farthest from "conservative" you can get.  Who else is selling wars like a pair of Nikes? Bought and paid for corrupt beyond belief politicians, including those running for President.

The war propaganda strategy to gain public support for war with Iran  will be 1) anti-Muslim sentiment and fear of “radical Islam”  2) the demonization of the President of Iran who said nothing about wiping Israel off the map 3) the demonization of Iran’s nuclear weapons without mentioning the arms race that  started with Israel’s secret, illegal, uninspected nuclear program 4) Israel as a helpless victim that suffers terrorist attacks daily and needs protections even if they have a massive secret collection of WMD that have never been inspected.

Next time you watch the “news” play a game. See how many war propaganda selling points you can find. They report, as they sell wars. You decide if you are going to buy war.

To understand the jaw dropping pissing contest to go to war with Iran at the Iowa debates look no further than those to who can buy wars and have bought these candidates. Look no further than our corrupt media who is selling war. That crowd and those  voters are buying this anti conservative, huge government, huge spending, limited freedoms WAR agenda hook line and sinker with less thought then buying a pair of sneakers.

WE THE PEOPLE ARE COMING AT CORRUPT GOVERNMENT FROM BOTH SIDES

Letter faxed to the whole of Congress on October 28, 2011 and copied to 200 "journalists" and media motor mouths.
Feel free to copy and send to your elected whores or the few that are not corrupt that may help.


November 1, 2011 
RE: We are coming at corrupt politicians from both sides

Dear Representative: 
I sincerely hope that your staff gets this letter to you. The purpose of this letter is to reach out yet again and plea for change of a system that is thoroughly corrupt and has transformed these United States into an oligarch plutocracy.
You cannot explain away that in the space of 2 years 2 huge movements, the Tea Party and an ever growing Occupy Wall Street (OWS) have risen up in utter disgust and rage with government. There is something terribly wrong when this is what government inspires in the people it is supposed to serve. The usual right left talking points and messaging handed to and then repeated by corrupt politicians is no longer working. We see Congress for what it is: a criminal syndicate run on bribery for oligarchs and the American people are coming at our corrupt elected “representatives” from both sides. Between the Tea Party and OWS there is nowhere for corrupt politicians to hide anymore. The American people want the days of serving the highest bidders to come to an end and you can either be part of the solution or part of the problem.  You can facilitate the change we yearn for or you can collude with the corruption.
Without a working Fourth Estate, the American people have no other choice but constant, united, sustained, non-violent, massive mobilization to take back our government.
What is it called? What is a form of government that takes from the people to give to the highest bidders?
The thing corrupt governments fear the most, their nightmare is that we the people will find our way and unite and when that happens, the oligarch, plutocracy Congress has created will end. That day, Congress will fear the people instead of taking from us to give to the highest bidders. That day is coming. While corrupt oligarch media and politicians and are doing all they can to divide and conquer, OWS and the Tea Party will eventually unite. The people will eventually see that we must in order to gain our power back and together we will not be defeated.
Our corrupt, corporate “free press” aids and abets government corruption by selling us the same Republican vs. Democrat vs. Tea Party smokescreen. To them and to you we say “It’s the corruption stupid”! Only the most ignorant and brainwashed of the populace believe these false smokescreens and don’t know our government has been subverted by corruption. Subversion of the US government is a serious charge. It takes an army of people to subvert a government. It takes an even bigger army to subvert the government of the United States. It could not have happened without an army of treasonous, weak, corrupt puppets, whether by collusion or by silence. That army is the enemy and they are everywhere, but especially in Congress and corporate media.
Regardless of party or who is in charge, politicians in Washington are incapable of resolving the trillions in debt and the rampant spending, because it operates on bribery. Congress goes to work with one purpose: to take from the American people and give to the highest bidders. It is tyranny and despotism. Our government has been taken from within by oligarch whores in both parties and now Teocons.
A corrupt Congress won’t control spending because it takes trillions from us to give to the military industrial complex. Corruption is behind subsidies to companies like Exxon Mobile or General Electric who paid zero taxes last year in a gross give away in a time when we have to pay down our debt and 6 wars. Corruption, not jobs that haven’t happened in ten years are behind insane tax cuts in times of wars for war profiteers. How very patriotic of these people to want tax cuts in war time! Corruption, not the debt or deficit, is responsible for the cuts and stealing from Social Security and Medicare to continue to give to the war profiteers that own our bipartisan corrupt Congress. Corruption is why Wall Street can “fix” the price of gas or food and destroy our economy without going to jail or are able to saddle students with unbelievable debt. Corruption is the reason the healthcare law will subsidize health insurance companies, with a freaking mandate, no less, driving the price of health insurance through the roof effecting individuals and employers everywhere, public and private, who are struggling with the increasing cost of providing healthcare to their employees. Corruption, not jobs, is behind trade agreements and legislation that favor corporate globalization that TAKE jobs overseas and give tax havens for tax cheats in times of war. Corruption is why a completely bipartisan Congress just forgave tax cheats who want government contracts. Congress’ corruption is at fault for this economy, the trillions in debt and our deficits and now Congress wants to steal from SS and Medicare to continue to give to oligarchs, to take from us and give to them, especially to pay for war profiteering.
We have tried them all. Whether it’s the Republicans, Democrats or the Teocons who fooled us all and increased the war budget this year, corruption knows no party and no ideology. Blaming the other party is an excuse corrupt politicians all hide behind to continue the treasonous pillaging of the American people for the highest bidders. We have had enough! For these reasons, we come together to organize national, constant, non-violent protests, not at the doors of corrupt politicians who are mere whores and puppets, but at the doors of the pimps they serve. Those pimps are not going to be happy.
When the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street unite it will be corrupt politicians’ biggest nightmare. Congress will be forced with no way out, no one to blame, no side to hide behind, to serve the people instead of the highest bidders. Corrupt media oligarch puppets from Glenn Beck, Bill O’Reilly to Ed Schultz that serve the same pimps Congress does, with their constant left right smokescreen, are doing everything they can to divide and conquer us and aid abet this corrupt oligarchy courtesy of Congress, but people are awakening.
The onslaught of deceit, immorality, degradation, corruption, power grab, partisanship and greed on the American people by its elected leaders is without remorse or mercy of any kind. The American people are powerless as they observe appalled and their voices are silenced or distorted. To be exposed to the present day governance in these United States is to run a gauntlet of disbelief, disappointment, confusion, powerlessness and ultimately, utter and complete rage and disgust.
Make no mistake: this is not about the left or the right. It’s about the whorehouse that is Congress.
While corrupt media whores appear to be baffled and provide ridiculous reasons behind the unrest of the American people, attacking them in the process, we will be asking Representatives and Senators to sign on to initiatives to take the money out of elections, end corporate personhood in elections, outlaw Citizens United and/or amend the Constitution to reform our electoral process. Please think about what stand you are going to take and what you should be doing to give our government back to the people.
I look forward to your views on these issues and what you are doing now, if anything to address the corruption in our government and the chaotic if not dangerous path Congress is forcing the American people to take. You can write back to us at the address below with your position on these matters of taking money out of our elections.
I am sure you do not want to be on the wrong side of this and we ask that you start working for the people now before we have to demand that you do.

Most sincerely,


Jeanette Borges

PS Congress legalized bribery, by legalizing money in elections. Congress must make it a crime again to end this pillaging and tyranny.

Fox Calls Protesters "Smelly, Wachos" That Should Take a Shower

The main tool used to aid and abet corrupt politicians and oligarchs is corrupt corporate media. The Five, a show on Fox is one of the many propaganda shows whose sole purpose is to distract, divide and conquer the American people in order to cover for oligarchs and maintain a government of corrupt corporate power, by corrupt corporate power and for corrupt corporate power.

Their job is the incessant left right bullshit to keep we the people looking to the right or the left instead of the truth: that our government is run on bribery and that a government of, by and for the people has been subverted from within. With the hour that these people have, instead of helping the American people take back their government, they collude. This is what passes for a Fourth Estate in this country. Paid motor mouths whose job is too sell out the American people by blaming one President or another, one side or another.

The first step in destroying the occupy Wall Street movement, like the Tea Party was destroyed by Fox, will be for some media to embrace the movement and in doing so portray it as left or right. That has already started. The movement is being labeled “leftist”. This divides the American people. People for no other reason, then they are conservatives, are attacking the movement.

Corporate corrupt oligarch media’s second step is to find the counter and this has already started. Fox is on the attack.

Eric Bolling on that show called  “The Five”, called occupy Wall Street protesters "smelly wachos” who should take a shower. Others on Fox and elsewhere have also attacked the protesters. The Five are people making light of that fact that we as a people have lost a government of, by and for the people. They sling blame and laugh and joke for one whole hour about the state of this Nation and the whore house called Congress. They tell you who to blame so you don’t blame the pimps they all serve. They are the 1% and how very patriotic are they! Their purpose is to collude with a government that has been subverted from within. Whether its Chris Matthews on MSNBC or the Five on Fox, at 5:00 PM or the other puppet on CNN all you have is a choice of puppets that serve the 1%.

George Washington, in his farewell address said: "IF America is ever overthrown, it will be from the inside". These are the people he was talking about. The ones that can bribe Congress and whores that let themselves be bribed all with the help of the whores in the media. These are the enemy that have taken our government from within and they are doubling down as their government run on corruption is threatened by the awakening masses.

I can tell you that occpuy Wall Street is neither a left or right movement, but beware, because for oligarchs to continue their pillaging, any movement of the people has to be hijacked.

Occupy Wall Street is a movement of all people against corruption. We know that no matter who we vote for it does not matter. Congress is a whorehouse. So why should we be divided when our government on both sides serves the highest bidders. They are completely bipartisan: they are all corrupt.

Here are some pictures of those protesters and their many messages:





October 1, 2011 - TAMPA, FL - The Occupy Wall Street movement may have just received an unexpected surprise – United States Army and Marine troops are reportedly on their way to various protest locations to support the movement and to protect the protestors

CORRUPT CORPORATE MEDIA: THE ENEMY THAT DESTROYS THE POWER OF THE PEOPLE


Author: Jeanette Borges  Follow on Twitter @usdayofragefl Contact: www.usdayofrage.org/contact

Links are in bold font.

As the American people are spreading the news, organizing and preparing to rise up in huge united, non-violent, sustained, constant masses, regardless of political loyalties, against a blatantly corrupt government, beware and be prepared to fight back the army of corrupt puppets in the media and the Internet that collude with that corruption and will do anything to divide and conquer the power of the American people. For example, consider the bipartisan anti-war movement. Whether the Tea Party movement that started under Bush or the liberal left anti-war movement, corrupt corporate media and puppets (1, 2) on the Internet live to divide, conquer and destroy the power of the people.
(Florida is organizing too and media here is no different. To find out more about the movement to unite and rise up go to www.usdayofrage.org/contact.)
More and more people realize what corrupt media has tried so hard to keep from them: that corruption a government run on bribery, legalized or not, has subverted their government. It is no longer a government of, by and for the people. Without a working Fourth Estate, corrupt corporate media and persons on the Internet that seek to divide and conquer us leave the American people no other choice but constant, united, sustained, non-violent mobilization to take back our government. Whether they are Ron Paul, Obama, conservative, liberals loyalist or everything in between, no matter who they like in politics, they are abandoning the political divide created by corrupt media and uniting to rise up and mobilize to take back their government from corruption before voting in 2012. This is what those of us who care enough to fight for our country in our country have been waiting for.
Regardless of party or who is in charge, politicians in Washington are incapable of resolving the trillions in debt and the rampant spending, prompted by trillions spent on eternal wars because they are bought off by the military industrial complex. Must be rocket science to solve or is it? Is it rocket science: that corruption is behind subsidies to companies like Exxon Mobile or General Electric who paid zero taxes last year are a gross give away in a time when we have to pay down our debt and pay for 6 wars? Or that although everyone would love lower taxes including for corporations so they can create the jobs that they haven’t in the past 10 years, isn’t corruption behind the push for tax cuts for the uber rich and corporations, including corporate war profiteers in times of corrupt eternal wars? Or that corruption is behind cutting everything else, including Social Security and Medicare to pay for the trillions that these eternal wars cost at the behest of the war profiteers that own our bipartisan corrupt Congress? How very patriotic of these people to want tax cuts in war time! Or that corruption is why Wall Street can “fix” the price of gas or food? Or that corruption is the reason the healthcare law will subsidize health insurance companies, with a freaking mandate, no less, driving the price of health insurance through the roof effecting individuals and employers everywhere, public and private,  who are struggling with the increasing cost of providing healthcare to their employees? Or that that corruption is behind trade agreements and legislation that favor corporate globalization and tax havens that take job oversees? O that here in Florida, corruption is behind a law mandating drug testing that is costing and taking taxpayer money and putting it into the pockets of corporations that do the testing, like the health clinics owned by the Governor’s wife? Is any of this rocket science?
Why do any of these laws get passed and why, pray tell why, are we spending trillions on eternal wars? For the media it’s rocket science, but not for us. For all of these questions we the people come up with the same logical, factual, truthful answer. Whatever these politicians do, regardless of party, it’s because they are bought. They are bribed. Whether it is about budgets, spending, taxes, trade, healthcare, wars, anything whatsoever, before the votes are counted for these laws, the votes are bought.
That answer is much different than that our AWOL, corrupt, lazy “free press” (Fourth Estate) comes up with. Their answer is always the same: Republicans vs., Democrats vs. the Tea Party. To them we say “It’s the corruption stupid”! Only the most ignorant and brainwashed of the populace believe these false smokescreens and don’t know our government has been subverted by corruption. Subversion of the US government is a serious charge.  It takes an army of people to subvert a government. It takes an even bigger army to subvert the government of the United States. It could not have happened without an army whether by collusion or by silence.
That army is the enemy and they are everywhere, but especially in the media. The media is nothing more but a war propaganda machine. Consider just one example: how they have “managed” the protests and mobilization of millions of people, both liberals and conservatives, against spending trillions on corrupt eternal wars and the takeover of our government by the military industrial complex. First they don’t cover the protests and when they do they demonize or distort their message. True conservatives, Democrats, Independents and  especially the Tea Party that started under Bush with Ron Paul and grew under Obama because of the corruption in the healthcare law, principal message was opposition to spending trillions on wars. What did corrupt media and politicians do for the military industrial complex? They distorted, hijacked and all but destroyed their message.  The use their support for Israel as propaganda for war with Iran! Beck, Palin, Bachman and a myriad of corrupt politicians that have hijacked the anti -war Tea Party movement have not mentioned once, not once, the Tea Party’s root message against these wars. Not once! So who do these people really work for, us or the military industrial complex that has subverted our government? The Tea Party is frowned upon by a vast majority of American as a “right wing racist religious extreme” faction of the Republican Party. This is no accident. You would have to do this if you want to preserve the cash cow that the eternal wars provide to those that bribe Congress daily. The Tea Party which never stood for ending Social Security and Medicare is now being blamed by corrupt politicians and media for Congress’ move to cut those programs and everything else, because the Teocons in Congress who managed to increase the war budget over last year right under the nose of the Tea Party, has to find money to pay for these corrupt eternal wars.  Do you hear any of them, with very few exceptions like Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich or Bernie Sanders talking about ending these wars? What happens to politicians like Ron Paul, a conservative that has always stood firm against the trillions spent on eternal wars? The media ridicules him and gives you all the reasons as to why he will never be elected. In doing so they are manipulating the voters. They are manipulating our very right to vote.  Do you hear the media speaking of ending these wars instead of cutting Social Security and Medicare? Hell no!  Even after the death of Bin Laden the reasons for these wars seem to have multiplied instead of diminished if you follow the news, mainstream media and politicians. They are selling to the American people that we have to cut everything else to fund the wars.
Liberals and conservatives, the vast majority of the American have tried to stop a corrupt Congress from taking our money and giving it to war profiteers. They are in the same movement to stop these wars, the very same goals, the very same message, both raging against the corruption of the military industrial complex takeover of our government and yet they have been divided into two opposing groups that hate each other by corrupt media and politicians using the Republican vs. Democrat vs. Tea Party false, smokescreen. The results?  The American people have been divided and conquered; their bipartisan message against spending trillions on wars has been thwarted and destroyed by the people that are supposed to hold the government accountable. The media in this country is an arm of those that have taken over a government of, by and for the people. Make no mistake, they are the enemy.
Reading and observing the entire Republican vs. Democrat and Tea Party arguments, blaming one or the other, being made by that army on Fox “News”, MSNBC, the Washington Post, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and every other newspaper and major media outlet, how will we the people will ever get back a government of, for and by the people that has been sold and hijacked thanks to that army of corrupt, treasonous, persons who serve the government that has subverted ours? What happens when a Nation does not have a free press, a Fourth Estate as a check on corruption? It leaves we the people alone and on our own. We are left with only one option: to rise up in constant, sustained, united and massive nonviolent protests. We must overcome the division that media is there to create to keep those that have subverted our government in power. We must leave our party loyalties and united stand against the common enemy: corruption.
Remember always that corporate media serves the status quo. Their sole purpose is to preserve the present form of government, the government that has subverted, taken, bought, sold out, our government: a government of, by and for the people. Their sole purpose is to preserve the oligarchies that own and buy our politicians, regardless of party. Congress lives to take from us and give the highest bidders. They live to deliver our money in exchange for their bribes. It’s called redistribution of our wealth to the highest bidders.
You are urged to seek alternative news sources out of the mainstream media. Consider that oligarchs have subverted our government and they own the media and corrupt journalists and motor mouths. It is their job to preserve their system of government, which means they will fight against the American people who want a government of, by and for the people back. Consider that the media is part of a corporatocracy, where corporations and conglomerates control the direction and governance of a country at the expense of the masses.  Consider that if its profit, oligarchies don’t care how they make it even if means pillaging the American people and sending them to die in wars for profits. Will you stand by and let this continue? Consider that these oligarchs want global reach and their obsession and greed knows no limits. Congress is putting our military and our treasure at their disposal for their purposes. They no longer serve us. They serve them.
The people cannot vote unless unfettered information is available to them. Only an informed citizenry can vote. The first amendment protects free speech to protect the people’s need for uncensored, unbiased and truthful news. Speech is protected to have a free press. The purpose of a free press is not to babble and spin news to pursue an agenda or political party. It’s certainly not to promote eternal wars. No! No! No! The purpose of a free press is the people’s right to know, to have an informed citizenry. Only an informed citizenry can elect its leaders and protect itself against government control, tyranny and a ruling class. By default, corrupt corporate media has enabled the subversion of our government. They dumb us all down and reduce us to fighting each other.
Nothing, absolutely nothing, scares government more than an informed citizenry and masses on the street. But the masses will only be feared if they can band together and corrupt corporate media and corrupt persons on the Internet are going to do everything in their power to make sure that does not happen.
The onslaught of deceit, immorality, degradation, corruption, power grab, partisanship and greed on the American people by its elected leaders is without remorse or mercy of any kind. The American people are powerless as they observe appalled and their voices are silenced or distorted. To be exposed to the present day governance in these United States is to run a gauntlet of disbelief, disappointment, confusion, powerlessness and ultimately, utter and complete rage and disgust.

We have tried them all. Whether it’s the Republicans, Democrats or the Teocons who increased the war budget this year, corruption knows no party and no ideology. We have had enough! For these reasons, we come together to organize a national and non-violent protest. Only citizens should make campaign contributions. Campaign contributions by citizens should not exceed $1 to any political candidate or party. One citizen. One dollar. One vote.
Do your own homework. Click on the links if you love your country like most say they do. Give up your political divide and unite so that we the people are once again the ones with the power. Without you, each of you, we are weak. Blaming the other party is an excuse you can hide behind to be AWOL but is it the right thing to do?
