The History of Violence made
American, A Dangerous Moment.
More
than anything, this coup attempt is a war of class. If you are not
making many millions a year, you are no part of the club.
I
understand the point of view of some of the people who attacked the
US Capitol on January sixth 2021.
The ones that are believers of the lies of a President, a
President who even
challenged and
questioned
the validity of the
voting
process that put him in the White House
four years before. Supported by Congressmen
and Senators
that parroted the lies or twisted the truth, to give some
credence to the notion that it was a stolen election. Supported by
right wing radio, or TV, like The Fairly Unbalanced gang at Fox, OAN,
or News Max. Media that for many years promoted spin or outright
falsehoods. Social
media that did little or nothing until after the disaster in the
halls of Congress. Not
that I believe any of that for a second, quite to the contrary. If
that is what I actually
believed, I would be
really mad.
The
notion that a The former president Obama was not even an American,
who was not born in the US, and therefor not a legitimate candidate,
much less elected President. The idea the President Irump pushed, that
millions of illegal aliens voted in the last presidential election
that put Donald in the White house. The Idea that America was going
to the join past Democracy's or Republics of the past, in the dust
bin of history. That the Media is totally crooked. That We the people
would lose our country, then I would also be very mad.
The
Nazis and white nationalists and supremacists, I do not understand, I
find totally unacceptable in any form.
The
History of America has been riddled with violence since before the
time of the Colonization by the Brits and other European powers.
Violence does not bring remedies, and if not careful could be a
farewell
tour.
The
so called “Discovery” of America by the Italian Sailor and
Captain, began the
bloody extermination
and enslavement of the natives of the Caribbean and
then the main lands.
The
expeditions financed
by the oligarchs
and Queen of Spain.
The
Brits often used the Divide and Conquer
strategy, to overcome a land or a people, “How about You and
Him fight”. Our People in America are being played off against each
other now, today by and
for a new kind of Tyrant.
The
Americas and
Native Peoples were
taken over by brutal
tactics and for foreign Oligarchs.
The Spanish, the French, The Dutch, the Brits. Now America has
created our own class of Oligarchs, and
a new class of Tyrant that by a crazy stretch of the old common laws
beyond all imagination, and
a twisting of the Constitution into a pretzel.
A class of tyrant so powerful, it is almost impossible
to hold accountable in
any
court of law.
We
have a long history of violence,
For Good or Evil ends. Many against our own people, The
Conquistadors, the
French and Indian wars, Colonization and occupation. The
Revolutionary War, The war of 1812, The Civil War, The
Indian Wars. The wars
against the Unions and
the
redneck wars,
that lead to the time frame of the Robber Barron's and Teddy
Roosevelt. Two World
Wars. The
internal
fascist movements in
America against
FDR. Then moving to
expansionism of a new form and foreign wars.
The
Banana Republic wars and the Spanish American war,
Philippine-American War, Korean war, Vietnam, Laos
and Cambodia. The
internal wars against civil rights movements,
against the Peace and Anti-nuke movements, and
equal rights for Women,
LGBT or inter-sexed people. The new ideological external wars, in
central America, Iran Contra wars, wars on
drugs
in South
America and Mexico and
inside our country.
The Middle and Near
East
in a fashion of never ending war.
Drone wars by remote
control as if a video game.
For the profit
of Corporations and an out
of control international Supremacy of the State, and
Corporations. Numerous
forms of economic
warfare, for many
reasons, for control of
resources and power, or
just to preserve a questionable
monetary system, unless
this might
kill the golden goose.
Now
another
looming internal war, promoted by a lying President who refuses to
concede an election that He lost by overwhelming numbers, in spite of
receiving the most
votes of any
republican presidential
candidate ever. After
losing 64 court battles. Supported
by corrupted media that no longer support fact, but play opinions and
spin off
as
“real facts”. Who magnify the lies of dangerous, want to be
Oligarchs.
These
“Persons”
are a new class of
tyrant called Corporations. President
Eisenhower warned us “Beware of the Military Industrial
Congressional complex”. Wars
are big business. Now
wars for the mining
of labor or oil,
and resources world
wide have become common. Run
by stuffed suits in boardrooms or
on Wall Street, who
steal from everyone in America and the world without ever putting a
hand in your pocket.
Corporations
that buy
and sell our seats for Congressional
Representatives
or the Senate, Governors and for sure Presidents, and
now even local and state governments.
Corporations that
now have more rights than real
living people.
These Corporations
are now the foundation on which the American fascists
stand. Washington
and most
of the State Governments have been taken over by a new kind of
tyrant. Usury Banks, Animal Agriculture
and
Agribusiness, Fossil fuel corporations, Insurance corporations hand
in hand with Big Pharma,
the privatization of schools, the privatization of prisons, and to
whatever degree our Military. And
now the most insidious corporate entity, is the corporate controlled
Media, which has become
and new
international money laundering machine.
The only industry mentioned
and protected in the
Constitution has been
subverted by big money.
An
economic system that has shipped millions of productive America jobs
and American factories overseas, just to profit these
new corporate tyrants.
Leaving millions of people with little hope for a future, and blaming
the losses in the economy on
foreigners or dark
skinned people. Never
admitting that the real problem is the greed of the corporations
and the Oligarchy of Big Money.
In
an interview with President Jimmy Carter a few years ago, he said
that America is no longer a Democracy but an Oligarchy of unlimited
bribery. Control must
be returned to people and local
control, or
by counties
or states.
When
the Donald ran
for president, it was a publicity stunt to get more money for the
reality show “The Apprentice” and to up grade
the Trump brand. The Republicans had been headed to the sell out of
America since Ronald Reagan,
and regardless of Morals or Principles,
and
into
wholesale corruption since Watergate. The
Attack on the Air Traffic Controllers union
was
a first serious
salvo against working people in
the early eighties.
Trump is just
a symptom of the sick
system that has sold out the American people for profit.
Doing away with
controls over Banking and Wall Street,
insurance and so called Investments.
Turning Wall street and the commodities markets into a glorified
gambling casino.
The
Corporate Structures
and Sold out media, have created these
insurrections and
sedition
we are seeing in
America. Created by a Lying President with the enabling of the other
Politicians who failed to stand up timely and say that this was not a
stolen election. Trump played like he was in it for America or
People.
But
the real criminal is a form of out of control capitalism that values
money and greed over people, and the King Midas corporations
that will monetize everything they
can and leave nothing for any Real People, the
environment, the
institutions of federal and state governments, the educational
institutions, the infrastructure, and the culture and traditions of
America, and the American
people. IF you are not making many millions or billions, you are not part of thier plan, but just being used to serve that new class of Tyrant.
