Now I know how to become your next president

If corporations can control so much of our society they must represent a great deal of our society. To the point - they represent jobs, jobs that supposedly keep the wolf from the door, jobs that allow us to believe we have a future, jobs that keep the economy's wheels turning. Jobs that keep profit returning to investors. Or did at one point. But now the jobs that kept us under their control are leaving and only the profits from that out-sourced work returns - into the hands of a very few people - the people are beginning to wonder, and despise - those who run corporate America. A take-over of free American in slow motion happening when companies like GM outsource all their production (as they are starting to do ) How much longer will we still quietly and deparately hope this isn't happening?

Yes, Obama played to both sides of the fence with his campaign - sweet meaningless rhetoric to the masses coupled with a word to the wise (sic: corporate america) via the occassional Senate vote to ensure them their objectives would be safeguarded. There's a small handful of people speaking out against this - perhaps a larger group observing it all, but as for the future in relation to all this - my query is - can the corporations continue to rob the people of literally everything they have AND keep power - and as ridiculous as it seems - what are they going to do when everything is gone? When there's nothing left to steal?

Perhaps the answer to that is to take a look at FEMA and Halibuton, with over 60 'disaster relief centers' built in the States - thousands of shackle equipped rail cars built and over 100,000 on order - does that give anyone an idea of what their 'grand plan' entails for the average American? 

Ridiculous?

It's happening in slo-mo - the Bushes have openly advocated for new world order and Obama is their man. And they have something we don't - time and money. It took them generations to take control of finance via the Federal Reserve, but they persevered, and they will continue to persevere. Who are these puppet masters? Great pains have been taken to keep their identities secret, - national security act, aggressive police action against the citizenry ... but all in all, the people who are robbing the world don't care, they want it all. They are like the pharoahs of old, this time, the whole world would be enslaved to their royal burial tomb construction. It can't be argued, it's the way it is. The hoi polloi are too oppressed and scattered to see above it, and the neocons are too hedonistic to want to see above it, let alone DO anything about it.

What keeps all parties in it is money - be it at very different levels. It is the common denominator. It's a sad statement about life in general, but it's making itself heard.

Obama's swing to fossil fuel alternates is a joke - i.e. - his 'green power' concept - a repackaging and remarketing of atomic energy that has been around for 50 years is certainly nothing new, and it certainly won't change the economic face of America - but it is an extremely salient item in the whole socio-political scene.

Power, money and supply and demand are inseparable, a practical nuclear energy program would not enable the profiteering commensurate with the current ideology that governs capitalism - in other words, it is not the function of the corporation to lose money.

The major shortcoming of capitalism appears when supply wanes, when a massive restructure has to occur capital from profit driven venture will not be forthcoming because it is not the function of the corporation to lose money - period. Now there are other countries (sic - China - India) to turn to for profit so the investors don't mind, but that doesn't leave 'us' with much.

Nuclear power is not a feasible alternative to fossil fuel in capitalist terms for many reasons, even with the most generous latitude for idealism its' implementation presents many obstacles inconsistent with current lifestyles ... no, all we can take away from the table at this point is the realization that the masses that were needed to keep the fossil fuel driven economy running are no longer needed. The factory workers, road builders and insurance salesmen are all but gone and will soon be forgotten. This is because of (and I don't want to sound redundant, but - ) it is because of profit driven capitalism. Because of Corporate America, which is neither corporate nor  American. It is an entity unto itself.

When we thought there was an inexhaustible supply of energy and goods the lion and lamb lived in peace, (but) when the shortages appear the lion puts the crunch on the lamb - that's the way it is ...

NI4D anyone?
