[Failed] Corporate State USA
by Kingfisher Saturday, Sep 20 2008, 12:53am
international / social/political / commentary

The past few decades have seen Corporate interests laying siege on western democracies and completely vanquishing the democratic process and representative government – Abe Lincoln’s government of the people by the people is finito! Today’s ‘democracies’ are government by the Corporations for the Corporations for the very privileged few! If you are beginning to feel uncomfortable, like a slave or chump all I can say is, “if the shoe fits ..!”

Recall the immortal words of that man known to the entire world as a CHAMPION of DEMOCRACY, Abraham Lincoln, “..that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” People usually overlook the signifier “earth,” they unconsciously superimpose USA, which was unfortunately the first democratic nation to fall to Corporate interests.

Regardless of the monumental disasters the Corporate controlled Bush government has created, the inroads it has made on formerly unassailable State institutions/sectors is astounding and alarming! I refer to the appropriation via the innocuous term ‘outsourcing,’ of the US military -- today, the takeover of the Pentagon is almost complete.

The US military has been reduced to a state of dependence on the private sector for much of its essential daily operations. It is now clear the subversion of the State’s military apparatus occurred intentionally and was a high priority of the Corporate controlled neocon government of Cheney-Bush. History will no doubt regard Cheney, Bush and Rumsfeld, as the most reprehensible, destructive traitors the nation has ever known – and I do not exaggerate!

The defences of the formerly most powerful nation on earth have been compromised or stolen by private interests (see link). The wars of plunder currently raging and the billions of dollars swallowed by private interests are evidence of the fact!

But the clearest indicator to date of the first truly corporate state in the world -- notwithstanding the above red light indicator – is the behaviour of the government in relation to the CORPORATE CREATED financial crisis! Put simply and accurately the Taxpayer is now required to bear the responsibility of the incompetence and greed of the CORPORATE sector – and why not? After all, the public has ‘worn’ every injustice foisted on it to date so why not go the whole hog? We rip you off when we’re on a roll -- creating a future disaster -- then ask YOU, the honest working public, to bail us out and bear the ENTIRE responsibility for our failed scams and incompetence – how’s dem apples?

If you had doubts about your status as CHUMP and SLAVE then doubt no more! The TRUTH IS IN YOUR FACE. Need we remind you why the founding fathers made legal provision in the Constitution and Bill of Rights for the people to remove any government destructive of the national interest? Need I cite the most incompetent and destructive government the nation has ever known?

From grandmothers, teens, lumberjacks to white collar workers, in fact every red blooded American that is able to walk, YOU are required by YOUR NATION to MARCH ON THE CAPITAL AND REMOVE BY SHEER FORCE OF DEMAND the criminals and incompetents that occupy high office and other positions of responsibility in government.

Restore democracy, jail the rogues and restore the nation!

It remains to be seen whether or not the Corporate controlled military and State police would draw their weapons on the HONEST CITIZENS of this great nation!

It also remains to be seen whether or not consultants to the Corporations are correct in their assumptions and assessments of the public – they insist the public will remain passive, docile and amenable to their media control.

How much worse does it have to get? The indicators were evident from the start; this government is not only clueless it is extremely dangerous and destructive of the public interest. You cannot expect a criminal to be anything other than a criminal or an idiot to be any other than an idiot!

Coordinating a national event via the internet today is literally child’s play.

The democratic prerogative resides with the people only!

Peace.
