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

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?
