Below is a comment I placed upon a message board in a different quadrant of Webdom.
Replicated here to maximize my ongoing attempt to, perhaps, counter the immensely influential propaganda systems of the USA ruling elites.
*********Start of Comment**********
Please forgive my commenting and posting akin to the proverbial “broken record.”
You younguns’ with yer’ new-fangled electronic devices may be unfamiliar with “broken record.”
Divide and conquer is a war-fighting tactic used throughout human history.
The USA ruling elites and their cohorts, minions and lackeys are using that strategy in their onglong class war that the masses of common folks are losing.
Several methods of dividing the USA population are used with one being the “political correct” mind-set that includes the rhetoric: Diversity Is Our Strength!!!
I say BS!!!!! Diversity in and of itself seems to create chaos across the planet.
Follow the link to an essay warning of that propaganda about diversity and the accompanying indoctrination that is used to assist a very small minority of wealthy and powerful Americans to brainwash so many common folks and maintain the status quo that allows those few to economically rape the masses who create the country’s wealth.
When the Supreme Court decided for corporations in the Citizens United v. FEC case, it elevated knowledge of the doctrine of “corporate personhood” to new heights. Hundreds of thousands of people now know what those words mean.
But as awful as Citizens United is, corporate personhood wasn’t created with that case. Corporate Personhood was concocted by corporate lawyers 127 years ago.
On May 10, 1886 in the Santa Clara v. Southern Pacific Railroad case, the Court is said to have given corporations their first foothold in the Constitution.
In the case, corporations argued they are protected under the 14th amendment — the amendment passed to ensure equal protection of African Americans after slavery was abolished. Since then, there has been case after case in which the Court expanded the Constitutional “rights” of corporations.
This year, on the 127th “birthday” of corporate persons, Move to Amend activists will be organizing actions and events all over the nation.

It is a travesty!!!
I am surprised that cities and towns across the USA are not filled with mobs of women screaming their demands for equal treatment with males.
I am also surprised that the Web and mass media is also not full of biddies clucking their demand that they, too, be equal with males in having to register with the military draft.
“Men failing to register for the draft can be fined up to $250,000, sentenced to up to five years in prison, and denied eligibility for federal and state benefits including jobs, financial aid, citizenship, loans, and job training. Only men now face these harsh penalties.”
Assisting those deprived females who are, maybe, too scared to demand full equal treatment with males is the National Coalition For Men.

“American Dream”: Food loaded into Dumpsters while Hundreds of Hungry Americans Restrained by Police
I fear that the linked-to story may disappear so I am reproducing it here to assist in spreading a story I believe is of immense importance to We, the People.
Quoted story follows:
Residents filled the parking lot with bags and baskets hoping to get some of the baby food, canned goods, noodles and other non-perishables. But a local church never came to pick up the food, as the storeowner prior to the eviction said they had arranged. By the time the people showed up for the food, what was left inside the premises—as with any eviction—came into the ownership of the property holder, SunTrust Bank.
The bank ordered the food to be loaded into dumpsters and hauled to a landfill instead of distributed. The people that gathered had to be restrained by police as they saw perfectly good food destroyed. Local Sheriff Richard Roundtree told the news “a potential for a riot was extremely high.”
“People got children out here that are hungry, thirsty,” local resident Robertstine Lambert told Fox54 in Augusta. “Why throw it away when you could be issuing it out?”
SunTrust bank is trying to confuse the issue and not take direct responsibility for their actions. Their media relations officer Mike McCoy, stated, “We are working with store suppliers as well as law enforcement to dispose of the remaining contents of the store and secure the building.” Yet he also said that the food never belonged to SunTrust Bank.
There is no need to sugar coat what happened. Teresa Russell, chief deputy of the Marshal’s Office in Richmond County, said the owner of the building ordered that the food be taken to the landfill. Some people even followed the truck to the landfill and were still turned away.
In Richmond County, there are about 20 evictions per day, and the area surrounding the supermarket is one of the poorest in the state. According to the last available data, the poverty rate is 41 percent. Many people in that parking lot probably knew all too well how evictions work, and were in desperate need of the food assistance.
This story is not some bizarre exception. It reeks of the truth of capitalism and is strikingly similar to the H&M scandal that broke in 2010 when clothes were being shredded before being thrown away, so as to make sure the value of the merchandise was unaffected.
In a capitalist society, the motive behind the production of food is not to feed people, housing is not made to give them shelter, clothing is not made to keep them warm, and health care is not offered primarily to keep people healthy. All of these things, which are and should be viewed as basic rights, are nothing other than commodities—to be bought and sold—from which to make a profit. If a profit cannot be made, usually due to overproduction in relation to the market, the commodity is considered useless by the capitalist and destroyed.
In this case, it appears the bank simply did not care. For the banks that have made their profits through evictions and foreclosures, it is little surprise that they showed no remorse in leaving people staring in disbelief, with empty bags, as they watched the food that could be feeding their families dumped into a landfill instead.

I raise my voice and fist in anger at so many events within the USA that I believe is in the throes of class warfare.
I try to be fair, though, and make allowances for some behaviors or try to explain some acts that appear to be evil but may be acts forced upon folks due to the system we live within.
Lawyers and the legal system have had immense effects upon USA society, government, economic system and many other aspects of life within the USA.
The fear of being sued may have been at least partially to fully responsible for the thrown-away items being dumped.
The threat of lawsuit and the actions taken to avoid that threat has had profound effects upon all of us.
The lawsuit threat is complicated and all-encompassing and beyond inclusion in my blog.
A Web search will reveal a huge horde of pages discussing the topic.
If only good, usable products were not thrown away… especially if their are poor folks around who can use those items!!!!
Could laws be passed to protect folks who give free things to poor folks to prevent their being sued? Use common sense when passing out free things. When in doubt, throw it out!!! Only give away items that a reasonable person would assume to be safe, not out-dated food that might cause sickness, etc.
I now take a moment to shout a huge:
to all the firms who do not throw away leftover food and unsold items. They give the stuff to local charities that assist hungry folks and those facing rough times who are helped so much getting some free stuff such as toiletries, clothing, toys for kids, etc.
Have a wonderful week, folks.
Please remember that there IS a LOT of misery within the USA… a country with immense wealth concentrated into a few hands that has been skimmed from the efforts of others… even those eking out a very meager existence.
I received the following e-mail from a most-excellent organization striving to free you and me and all our friends, kinfolk, etc. from the increasing power and enormous wealth of corporations that have already enslaved many politicians and who own the mass media that brainwashed a HUGE portion to the masses of common folks.
We can not allow those greedy anti-humanity corporations and their minions, cohorts and lackey politicians enslave us further!!!

WILL CORPORATIONS GET THE RIGHT TO VOTE?
The headline reads, “Montana Considers Giving Corporations The Right To Vote” — laughable if it weren’t true.
Legislator Steve Lavin, a member of American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), introduced the bill, which to the legislature’s credit was quickly tabled in committee. Even the most uninformed citizen understands that voting is for people, not corporations.
Wait a minute, following this attempt to endow more rights to corporations by giving them the vote, the Supreme Court heard arguments to weaken key provisions of the Voting Rights Act (VRA). After a number of states passed ALEC-sponsored Voter ID laws last summer, and this latest exploit to undermine the VRA, it is clear there’s an effort to minimize the power of ‘we the people’ by limiting our access to the ballot box, while simultaneously maximizing the power of corporations and businesses by giving them the vote.
Please sign the Motion to Amend petition: http://tinyurl.com/mta-motion-to-amend
It may sound completely wacky, but this is an obvious next step for corporations because they are legally recognized as people. It’s a good thing that the Move to Amend Coalition is educating and organizing in communities across the nation. Only a grassroots movement determined to restore the power of ‘we the people’ can overcome the money and power behind ALEC.
In order to be effective, we must keep growing our community, which is why we have set a goal of 500,000 signatures on our Motion to Amend petition by year’s end, nearly doubling our supporters. It doesn’t matter which side of the aisle you sit on. Ours is a non-partisan—and winning issue–in red and blue districts alike. It’s in every person’s best interest!
Please sign the petition!
We want people voting, including those protected by the VRA, and we certainly don’t want corporations endowed with the right to vote. Help us build a movement with power enough to reestablish ‘we the people’ as the sovereign rulers of this great nation. Sign the petition today.
Thanks for taking action,

************end of message************
Please help in any way you can.
Talk to other folks about this ongoing encroachment upon your liberties!!! Greedy, vile vermin want to own you!!!! Control you. Economically enslave you and with the corporate control of so many aspects of all levels of government and with too many politicians obeying their corporate masters I fear the future freedom of the masses of common folks are in dire danger.
We also need to fight back to remove those greedy claws the corporate entities have already sunk into the “flesh” of our society, country, culture, government and the many systems that combined equal the whole that is the USA and everything within.
The enemy is not at the gates; it is inside and wrapped around every part of you and me and everything around us.
Defining a term can be difficult. Especially if it something that can not be seen, touched, smelled or whatever. I can define a car or a house or a cute little kitten much easier. But “political correctness” is an idea, a thought, a describer of people’s actions or things they do not do.
For writing ease and laziness I will us the acronym “PC” henceforth to represent our term being peeked at in this entry.
How PC is defined varies from person to person. What I view as PC may be viewed as proper behavior to another person who would not label that action as PC.
Confused yet?
I read constant news stories that I interpret as being evidence of PC.
A recent event was a young student who ate a pop-tart-type pastry in a manner that led to the flat, rectangular object attaining a vague shape reminiscent of a hand gun.
The bureaucrats in charge of that school took actions that punished the child!!!
Read the idiocy here—–> Bureaucrat Idiocy
A Google image search found the picture above. I do not know if that is the actual “gun” that made a bureaucrat behave in an idiotic PC way but the pic does get the general idea across.
It is hard to absolutely despise the folks working in the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation). They do perform many good deeds and I applaud them for protecting the many good, decent people of the USA from the scum of society.
But… there IS a class war going on and the high-level bureaucrats within the FBI appear to be typical bureaucrats… and I AM writing in generalities…. thus the FBI obeys the USA’s ruling-class masters and ensure their desires are met.
Of course, the elite’s lackeys merely have to tell themselves that they are just performing their jobs, following their orders. They may have a wife and/or kids to provide for. Maybe they are unable to obtain a decent job anywhere else. There are many reasons why a person will remain a part of a bureaucracy that along with doing needed tasks also assists the ruling-class masters and the politician puppet figurehead lackeys in mentally and/or physically controlling the masses of American people.
OBEY!!!! BEHAVE!!! Do as your betters tell you. Go with the flow and accept that as things are is correct and proper!!!
If you do not, if you arouse suspicion… you may be targeted by the FBI.
Various reports over the decades tell of the FBI and other bureaucracies at the federal, state and local levels infiltrating citizen groupings of various types.
These infiltrations were done to spy upon the group, to obtain information about activities, plans, thoughts, ideas and information about the individuals within those groups.
I would not be surprised if my writings and outspoken anti-elite class speaking over the decades has resulted in a file about me in some federal-level agency. Maybe the FBI. I was interrogated by two of their agents back in 1979 and I received a very strange phone call at my job during the period when the FBI was searching for whoever was responsible for the Oklahoma City Murrah Building bombing.
That idiotic Timothy McVeigh creep must have been mentally deranged!!! Killing innocent people, especially children… that is the type of action the mentally deranged and elite-class lackeys perform!!!!
Vile, scum, filth wearing their black robes and using the legal system their past fellow scum created to assist in controlling the masses to their own benefit (and the elite class of whatever human organization was controlled by that legal system) have interpreted the Constitution in regards to elite-employed lackey functionaries that:
A society must have laws of some type… even if it is just general agreements that “this” will be done or “that” must never be done.
The more complex a society is the more laws needed. That is how I view today’s reality.
I am saddened that so often the legal system is used to benefit the few to their economic and power-grabbing advantage.
The Founders wrote the Constitution to assist a ruling eilte to basically own and operate the federal government.
Looking at the past and current USA and the HUGE horde of bleating citizen-sheep with many of them ruled by emotions I suppose the Founders made the proper choices of how to prepare a government.
But the USA has changed in many ways and aspects over the decades and now the USA is undergoing class warfare.
And the many systems within the USA are controlled by the few, the few with enormous wealth and power and the resources to virtually enslave the vast majority of folks below them on the socio-economic hierarchy.
This is a warning to all non-elite citizens that the elites and their lackeys can and will legally murder you if doing so is deemed necessary or if the murder is an accident. The lackey doing the killing will not be punished.
Exception may occur for the most vile, evil and reprehensible incidents but, generally, to maintain the status quo is imperative… even if you must be killed.
Never forget that, you mere commoners.
Obey the masters and their cohorts.
Their lust for wealth and power far exceeds your pitiable desire for life.
I am a civil, law-abiding citizen.
I have stepped in when thugs wanted to harm others and stopped them.
I assisted a California Highway Patrolman battling a drug-crazed scum who had ran his car into a pick-up with a family of four within.
That scum was getting the better of the cop with the cop having to devote his effort to keeping the thug from getting hold of his pistol.
My jumping into the fray and wrapping adrenalin-powered arms around the scum’s throat ended that battle!!!
Wheeeeeeee!!!!!!!!
I mention the above because I am going to lambaste the behavior of the jack-booted thugs in the article linked-to below:
Man claims police harassing him over legal grow house
Here in Missouri the invasion of illegal aliens sneaking across the border to work, play, drink and drive, rape women and children, murder USA citizens, steal identities causing immense monetary harm to innocent USA citizens and MANY other negatives is not as severe as seen in other states such as those closer to the south-western USA border, North Carolina and Georgia and a few other states impacted especially hard by the invasion.
In the past 3 months I have heard of only two murders against USA citizens committed by illegal alien invaders.
And the numbers of illegals hereabouts are small enough to not cause the HUGE cost of renting increase experienced in other ares with hundreds-of-thousand to millions of invaders.
There IS the negative impact regarding employment in a state with a large percentage of working-poor, low wages, high unemployment and usually few to no job benefits.
Every job stolen by an illegal alien is yet another USA citizen kept out of a job… and the excess number of workers assists in keeping wages low.
Despite the relatively minor impact of illegal invaders upon Missouri and the media, typically downplaying the havoc created by those invaders, a local poll indicates that the masses of common folks, even in an area with minor problems compared to other areas, is unhappy about being invaded.
“…this law has nothing to do with the right to work (RTW), as everyone involved knows; that is just the spin from the anti-labor coalition. This is why police unions and firefighters’ unions were exempted. The Republicans were trying to buy off these workers with special favors, not singling them out for punishment.”
Michigan Republicans Deny Police Officers and Firefighters the Right to Work
“Unions don’t just raise the wages of the workers who are members. Unions raise the wages of all workers, since in an environment where unions are common, employers realize that they must pay a competitive wage in order not to give workers an incentive to unionize.”
Fire fighters are not enforcers of the elite’s well-crafted status quo that ensures much of the national wealth flows ever-upwards into their greedy claws… that is the domain of law enforcement and the courts.
Fire fighters were included in the “police buy-off” because it would be too difficult to separate them and make the elite’s bribe of law enforcement too obvious. Even the well-indoctrinated citizen-sheep may start questioning the elite’s motives.
Listen up you commoner filth.
You WILL always obey your masters.
Those masters are anybody and everybody that the small minority of powerful and wealth “super citizens” have decided have the power and authority to force you to OBEY.
An immense number of individuals and systems exist to force you to OBEY.
Remember that the Supreme Court has ruled that your law enforcement masters have the right to inspect you thoroughly if arrested, even for the most minor offense and even if you are not guilty of any crime.
That search can include probing your various body openings… your anus, your mouth and if a female your vagina.
But it is your patriotic duty to submit; even if your teenage daughter is wrongly arrested and the police decide it is in their best interest that her most private place be thoroughly inspected by probing for anything the police believe may be hidden in there.
It is your duty to OBEY!!!
“The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that guards may routinely strip search even minor traffic offenders when they are arrested and detained. The court’s 5-4 ruling came in the case of a New Jersey man who was arrested because of a computer error.”
The Supreme Court has also allowed the law enforcement lackeys of our ruling-class and corporate masters to lie about you if you are ever charged with a crime.
“In a second opinion issued Monday, the court ruled unanimously that police investigators are immune from civil damage suits for giving false testimony to a grand jury.”
Read about the above methods for controlling the masses of commoners… you and everybody you know at: Supreme Court OKs Strip Searches For Minor Offenses
Do not consider ever defying any of the authorities placed above you by the ruling masters. USA history offers innumerable instances when those not obey have been gunned down, murdered by the elite’s lackeys.
Being innocent is no protection, either. In other posts I have told of the too-many innocent folks murdered by law enforcement, even when in their own home as law enforcement broke down the door with weapons at the ready and as has been shown over and over… ready to pull the trigger so that another decent American lays bleeding on his or her floor.
Okay… I admit that governments are a necessity and that all governments suck in many ways.
Most, perhaps all, governments have at least a few good points, I suppose.
Even that idiot infesting North Korea… that super-elite scum fat-boy deserving of a brain tumor infestation in my worthless Disgruntled Old Coot Opinion ™.
Hmmm… the latest warlord-like “beloved leader” of N. Korea is…. Kim Jong-un
Compared to the main government of North Korea the governments of most of the world appear to me as much more desirable!!!!
Even as bad as N. Korea’s government is consider what life might be like if there was no government.
Would bandits and packs of thugs roam the countryside raping, killing, stealing and possibly enslaving the masses of common folks even worse than they are living within that disgusting-to-me Jong-Dong-Sclong-Wrong-un or whatever led travesty of a governing entity?
Why should USA citizens pay so MUCH money for Kindergarten to 12th-grade education when MUCH of the money spent is to create a multitude of bureaucracies sucking up immense amounts of wealth and providing lucrative employment, benefits and excellent retirements for bureaucrats and highly-placed administrators?
Also, perhaps most importantly, those 12 to 13 years of schooling is a major component of the USA’s ruling elites and their lackeys thorough indoctrination/brainwashing of the masses of USA common folks.
Please notice how the upper-crust of the USA often send their kids to the proper academies where those in the know are aware that the indoctrination those despised commoner kids are deluged with does not occur.
Future elites are taught realities that those elites attempt to hide from the commoners they rule and skim so much wealth from.
I remember the lies spewed by President Obama and his cohorts and accepted and conveyed by the elite-owned mass media when Obama first became president and moved into the White House.
When asked where his kids would go to school Obama declared he did not want public school kids to be bothered by or have to contend with Secret Service agents protecting his kids.
Instead of a public school where commoner kids are brainwashed… Obama’s kids and their protectors went to a private academy!!!
So– the students at the academy will not be bothered by the agents OR
That private academy will not expose Obama’s kids to the garbage shoved into the heads the masses of despised commoner kid’s heads are flooded with?!!!
Take a guess, folks.
Listen to the masses of the commoners you despise you politician figurehead lackeys of the wealthy people and entities you bow down to.
We, the People, the ones you upper-class filth despise yet skim so much of the wealth we create to support your life-styles and use that massive wealth to become powerful and buy others to perform the deeds that enslaves the majority of the USA population demand you bring the troops home NOW!!!
There are many reasons to bring them home but a major reason is the need to have them destroy the fake federal government used to enslave the masses.
Also needing destruction or major alterations are the many institutions, bureaucracies and systems that are used by the few to enslave the many.
The well-entrenched propaganda systems that convince so many that as things are is correct and proper must be altered. Using those systems to brainwash people is immoral and a travesty.
I do not support censorship but after extensive study of how propaganda has been used in various “communist” and totalitarian societies I detect a scary similarity within the USA.
I shudder with dread when I continuously view the USA educational systems being used to indoctrinate folks during their formative years.
The USA wealthy and powerful elites have and continue to use many methods to maintain the systems that have made their socio-economic group so very wealthy and powerful.
Why does a supposedly free people allow themselves to be economically enslaved and their cultures artificially altered to convince those within that culture that all is correct and proper, despite their economic predicaments.
There is no present method other than a full-scale military coup to make any meaningful changes in a government, society and cultures controlled by a few atop the socio-economic hierarchy and by extremely wealthy and powerful corporate structures.
Along with the scam that is the federal government are many institutions, bureaucracies and “systems” in general that were often created specifically by the ruling masters and their minions, cohorts and lackeys to skim the wealth from the masses of common folks.
Sadly, it appears that human social hierarchies throughout history became inverted “funnels” that sent power to the few at the top of the hierarchy.
As cultures and societies evolved that pyramid-shaped hierarchy became socio-economic in nature, sending power and wealth ever-upwards.
Accompanying the wealth and power flow was a downwards flood of propaganda, indoctrination and what can be adequately described as brainwashing.
The USA excels at brainwashing.
I wonder if the advent of the Web has led to what appears to be a growing number of USA residents unhappy with the status quo. The ability for the masses to bypass the elite-owned mass media and local media and spread/share ideas, thoughts, experiences and so many other parts of our lives has altered society.
Status quo: a Latin term meaning the current or existing state of affairs.
Maybe more folks are discovering that a small percentage of wealthy and powerful people have created many systems, institutions, bureaucracies and other entities that are used to skim the wealth created by the HUGE number of common folks (non-elites) and create barriers within the many systems within the USA to minimize the number of folks who can rise above their lowly position on the socio-economic hierarchy (“hierarchy” will be used later for the lengthy term “socio-economic hierarchy”).
We, the Serfs, indoctrinated from our youngest years to the day we die to:
Always obey our politician leaders. Of course they have the best interest of the entire USA and its 300-million-plus residents in their hearts and minds.
And those wonderful politicians have had so much training that allows them to arrive at the decisions they make that often have tremendous influence upon the USA and even the world.. or parts of it… depending upon what our beloved leaders decide to do.
Yes, I am being semi-sarcastic.
I observe the country I am immersed within. I read the thoughts of many folks and hear the opinions, ideas and beliefs of the common folks I live among.
I am repeatedly reminded that the indoctrination/propaganda/ brainwashing I mention so often is very effective.
I encourage folks to read “The Irony of Democracy” or one of the many other books covering the topic of the ins-and-outs of the creation of the USA federal government and what the Founders intentions were.
Basically, from the get-go, the USA federal government was intended to be controlled by an elite class.
I understand why the elites did that.
My decades of life experiences, observations and education has led to my viewing the average, typical run-of-the-mill USA resident as an idiotic imbecile lacking the needed interests and desire to be a capable citizen existing within a constitutional republic.
Of course, many folks are simply too busy leading their daily life to devote the needed interest and/or time to being an involved member of the electorate.
