"We currently find ourselves at a unique inflection point in American history. Though I agree with Charles Hugh Smith’s assessment that “Our Ruling Elites Have No Idea How Much We Want to See Them All in Prison Jumpsuits,” we have yet to reach the point where the general public is prepared to do something about it. I think there are several reasons for this, but the primary obstacle relates to how easily the citizenry is divided and conquered. The mass media, largely owned and controlled by billionaires and their corporations, is highly incentivized to keep the public divided against itself on trivial issues, or at best, on real problems that are merely symptoms of bipartisan elitist plunder.

The key thing, from a plutocrat’s point of view, is to make sure the public never takes a step back and sees the root of society’s problems. It isn’t Trump or Obama, and it isn’t the Republican or Democratic parties either. These individuals and political gangs are just useful vehicles for elitist plunder. They help herd the rabble into comfortable little tribal boxes that results in made for tv squabbling, while the true forces of power carry on with the business of societal pillaging behind the scenes.

You’re encouraged to attach your identity to team Republican or team Democrat, but never unite as one voice against a bipartisan crew of depraved, corrupt and unaccountable power players molding society from the top. While the average person living paycheck to paycheck fashions themselves part of some biblical fight of good vs. evil by supporting team red or blue, the manipulative and powerful at the top remain beyond such plebeian theater (though they certainly encourage it). These folks know only one team — team green. And their team keeps winning, by the way."

Not claiming any great clairvoyance but this has been my opinion for many years now. The Propaganda Ministry of MSNBC, CNN, Fox et al are there only to keep the nation divided against itself, to make sure the men behind the curtain are never, ever revealed as they rob the citizenry blind. Obviously there are differences of opinion on the course this ship of state needs to take but the enfranchised rabble is constantly inflamed to violently loathe "The Others" and to pray that their half of the ship sinks. Talking or even thinking about the ramifications that has for both halves of the one ship is never allowed.


One hundred bullets in the right places would do more good for this country and the actual freedom of its citizens than all the elections for the next 100 years.

100 isn't nearly enough.....
