GUNS, OILS, DRUGS
The United States now exists and has existed for approaching one
hundred years as the most overall prosperous nation on the planet.
Our people have, in comparison to the vast, overwhelming majority of
the peoples of earth, thrived, like no other nation in history.
We did it by managing the world's economic system in a way that
ensured our dominance in three specific areas: Guns, Oil & Drugs.
Those now in power, at the executive, congressional and judicial
positions, at both the state and federal level, have sold the rights
and financial futures of their constituents for less than a penny on
the dollar in a brazen theft of public funds, "legally" given over to
corporate charlatans and their lobbyist pimps.
The G.O.D. lovers run it all.
So what do we do? Run and hide? Pretend all is well?
Nothing?
Most folks choose nothing, preferring to ignore the problem and to let
others sort out the details. A few, especially those making their
mortgage payments because the drug war exists, even if they glimpse a
bit of truth of the abomination of drug war, prefer alcohol and legal
pills to be sufficient insulation, to forget they are part of the
charade. You can run and hide in many ways: by taking a plea bargain,
by remaining silent when some drug warrior type spouts their
propaganda phrase of the week or by refusing to allow yourself to use
the one drug that has never killed anybody, cannabis, and instead
choosing to using the legal, death regime products like alcohol,
tobacco and legal pills.
President Eisenhower warned us as he was leaving office to be on the
lookout for the "military industrial complex" that would wreck the
financial engine of these United States. Reagan claimed that we had
destroyed the mighty Soviet Union by outspending them in the cold war.
Now, we are in the process of destroying our own nation in an attempt
to outspend the rest of the world in weapons acquisition, (and
especially weapons usage). Foolish as the economic policy may be for
our nation, it is a bonanza, a blessing to the corporate heads that
lead us, (and our politicians), down this path of destruction.
The oil barons, the poor pitiful oil cartels, the multinational,
conglomerate purveyors of petroleum products are making record
profits, billions and billions of dollars pouring into their coffers
at a time when supposed shortages, reduced plant capacity, hurricanes,
heat waves, cold waves, war and rumors of wars are all excuses to
project, raise and re-raise the price of oil.
We have been duped, rode hard, put up wet, beaten like the wife of an
alcoholic so many times, we think this is how its supposed to be, normal.
We have handed over the reins of power to charlatans, whores, pimps
and liars. There is no shortage of oil and certainly none that could
not be attended to if the producers and refiners cared one whit about
the buying public. By now, we all know the reasons we went to war in
Iraq were nebulous, near non-existent, yet the war continues. The
drug war continues, despite the fact that after more than 90 years of
futile, flailing efforts at suspending the law of supply and demand,
the politicians are calling for additional measures to inflate the
price of drugs sold by some of the most violent, hateful people on
Earth.
Those who support the continuation, the escalation of drug war are the
best friends the cartels, terrorists and violent gangs could ever hope
for. Those who buy and sell the lies of the multinationals who claim
to be serving American interests with high priced petroleum products,
deserve to hang about under a tree in the embrace of a of hemp rope.
The warmongers, the lying cretin sleazebag whores who lead us into
Iraq, and the countless wars the US sees fit to wage, deserve whatever
their enemy thinks appropriate.
