Obamatron Kool-Aid cups?
“What better way to enslave a man than to give him the vote and tell him he’s free.”
-Albert Camus
The majority of Black, White, Brown, Red, and Yellow men, women, and children, in the
Too often, particularly in the so-called ‘Western World,’ rhetoric and myth are perceived as reality when in fact nothing could be further from the truth. For example, the recent installment of Barack Obama and his clique to head the U.S. Empire is perceived
by some as “change” when in fact it is nothing more than the continuation of the myth of
Racism, empire, and economic exploitation have in fact been extended, not ended, by the installment of the
corporate elite and its pathetic, crow eating “main stream” news media of disinformation and manipulation. Not only has the
And what has occurred internationally since the image change of regimes in ‘
The raging
Back inside the United States itself the Obama regime utilizes its militant hawkers, such as current U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, in an effort to keep people militantly satisfied, blind, and unorganized; to feed people meaningless rhetoric while it retains all of the fundamental and ill gotten powers grabbed by the previous George W. Bush regime, particularly as those powers refer to the civil liberties of the peoples inthis nation. This is the reality, not the dangerous fantasy of political smoke and mirrors.
And what of the avaricious, blood sucking corporate entities including the Wall Street bankers, or “banksters” as they are more accurately described?
Notwithstanding the smoke and mirror rhetoric of the current U.S. regime, the fact is that the blood suckers of Wall Street are still very much in charge, sucking the life blood out of the everyday Black, White, Brown, Red, and Yellow peoples of this nation and planet. Indeed, the ongoing rip
offs of the people by the “banksters” of today would make the gangsters of the 20th century green with envy.
Where
is the single payer universal health care for the peoples of this nation?
The answer to that question is nowhere. To those who are discerning, the “affordable health care” rhetoric emanating from the current Obama regime rings hollow, and eerily echoes the rhetoric of the previous George W. Bush regime. The priority of the Obama regime remains to the bloated corporate insurance companies, notthe people. There should be no such thing as so-called “affordable
health care” in that the word “affordable” is misleading and has no place in the equation, since excellent and universal health care for the masses of people should not merely be “affordable” but it should be unequivocally free.
What of the economic and political rights of the disenfranchised Indigenous Red Peoples of this nation?
As with Black and Brown peoples in ‘
sisters and brothers (so-called “Indians”) has and is massively increased. And by the way, this current regime needs to be uncompromisingly reminded that this land now known as the United States of America, was already occupied prior to, and during, the coming of the “settlers,”and this is inscribed in the very blood of the Native peoples and the ongoing hypocrisy of this nation’s “leaders.” Lest we ever forget, there would be no
each other to actualize this fact.
Now, more than ever, is the time to organize against the trillions of dollar giveaways to the “banksters” and their corporate bandit partners. This money, this capital, belongs to the people, notthe vampiric corporate blood suckers of the people.
Now
is the time to organize against the expansion of wars abroad, and the destruction and/or neutralization of civil liberties at home.
Now
is the time to pay very close attention to the “man behind the curtain,” as there is no such thing as a warm-hearted wizard, and the Land of Oz is myth. Only the everyday people, Black, White, Brown, Red, and Yellow can and will build a better nation and world together. Pay no attention to the media hype for that is precisely what it is:hype.
Have
we all emptied our Obamatron Kool-Aid cups? Let us hope so for it is time to wake up, get seriously organized, and make some real systemic changes while there may still be time.
Onward….
