It has become Clear that the Corporations have bought, and own the Elected and Appointed officials at many levels of our Government in the United States. As Jimmy Carter Called it, “An Oligarchy of Unlimited Political Bribery”.
Exxon-Mobile has stated publicly that they have Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema in their pocket . We can safely assume that they own all of the Republican party in federal positions in Washington DC. We can also assume that there are many other Democrats including Chris Coons and John Tester who have sold out in DC as well.
Check out opensecrets.org and see what your elected officials are reporting. This does not cover any of the vast amounts the Black Money that does not have to be reported from the 501-c-4 organizations or Super PACs. They have totally run amok since the 2010 decision of the Supreme Court called Citizens United which said money is speech. Now the majority of the Supreme Court is controlled and bought by the Corporate Fascists. This is so bizarre. Anyone with any common sense knows that money is money and speech is speech and never the twain shall meet.
There is now one party is actively acting to end democracy, and traitors to the Republic and their Oath of Office. The Republicans who have sold the birthright of a nation for a bowl of soup. Who have called January Sixth a regular tourist day. It was not. Who still push the ‘Big Lie’ every day. There are some so called Democrats that are actively aiding and abetting the traitors.
The First Article in Amendment to the US constitution says nothing about Money. It Very clearly covers the Five Freedoms related to Speech. It only applies to People, not Corporations. Only “We The People”,
All things People do, Worship, speech, a free Press or however you communicate today, the right to assembly which was the way to communicate back then before phones. The right to Petition for a redress of Grievances, that is to sue the government if needed. Or as it is also now used to push elected officials into doing the right thing via petition.
It is very clear that the Founders never intended to grant any special rights to the artificial organizations like this. They even went so far as to start a war over the power of a corporation. The British Corporation; The East India Company. The one that was shipping Tea and Opium into America, and famous for the Boston Tea Party. It is now looking like We could be at the edge of a new civil war in our country. It happened before in our country and its time to work to make sure this does not have to happen again. What can we do in defense of democracy.
It looks that We The People may have to Make a New Declaration of Independence from a new kind of Tyranny. The Tyranny of Dark Money and the The Oligarchy of Unlimited Bribery, Monopoly and corruption. It looks as if the Oligarchy is more interested in their money and power than they are interested in the people of America. That is the people who actually do the work that makes their insane amounts of wealth and greed possible. They are more interested in power and control than taking care of the planet or the environment and our common biosphere that we all must depend on to live.
I hope these people come to their senses before it is to late.
The National Chamber of Commerce has said they will donate to Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema since they Voted to stop the 15$ Hour Minimum Wage.
Joe Manchin used to be part of the Koch Brothers networks that have perverted much of the legitimate functions of our Government. The ones that Buy and Sell elected and appointed officials like a kid in a candy store. I presume Joe still is owned, even if it is not so openly as it used to be. More like a Mole now, than to representative for People in West Virginia.
Let your Congressional Representatives and Senators know about this and that it is time for this to end now. It is time for a truly open and honest discussion about corruption, and the open sale of politicians and our government, the elephant in the room. That our governments have been bought by big money and corruption. We Must have an open, transparent and honest government that includes all voices in elections. To raise generations of young people and tell them the long winded story about freedom and democracy in the form of revisionist history, and then say “aww tricks this doesn't include you!” is very very dangerous. The climate is already burning. Last summer the US. was burning, and looked so much like 1968-69, after the George Floyd murder.
