What
would everyday men and women of “America”
do with over 700 billion dollars? What of affordable single payer
health care, employment, decent housing, education, and just plain
social and economic equality or fairness in this nation?
The
blood-sucking Wall Street finance capitalists who support the Democratic
and Republican Parties, and most notably the U.S. Presidential candidacy of the Goldman Saks-supported
people’s fraud, Barack Obama, are once more spitting in the faces
and dreams of the everyday men and women of “America,”
and people around the world. Notwithstanding, the blood-sucking
Goldman Saks (also referred to as Goldman Sachs) corporate monster,
just like a dirty rag the U.S. corporate media is foremost
in glazing over and /or outright promoting, this unacceptable and
despicable corporate bail-out debacle which is against the
best interests of the majority of everyday “American” people and
the peoples of the world. This is corporate blood-sucking of the
people at its slimiest.
Instead
of having accepted the one, five, ten, and twenty dollar contributions
from economically poor people whom he has bamboozled as part of
his U.S. Presidential campaign, Barack Obama should be promptly
returning every single cent to these people, and let them
know that he has already been bought and paid for by Wall
Street and its concomitant corporate media. This chameleonic charlatan
knows full well that his demonstrated and real loyalties
are to his Wall Street backers, not to the struggling every
day people of the United
States of America, regardless of their gender
or color.
Neither
finance capital nor finance capitalists represent the interests
of every day people, at heart. The primary interests of finance
capital are to be found in the avaricious accumulation of wealth
at the expense of the vast majority of people. The presently
evolving economic implosion of the U.S.
corporate financial system has come about precisely due to the unbridled
feeding frenzy by artificial finance capital upon the people of
the United States, and indeed,
the world. The U.S. Government bail-outs of these blood-sucking
finance capitalists will only forestall the inevitable collapse
of the financial system, while serving to make the already rich
even richer and the dwindling middle class and poor, even poorer.
Rather
than accepting the insulting, misleading, and unadulterated financial,
rhetorical double speak of Democratic Party Presidential
contender, Barack Obama, and his Republican Party counterparts,
it is time for the people of the United
States to turn on our creative juices. It is
time for the people of the United States to reject the hypocrisy
and lies of the Democratic and Republican Parties [i.e. the Republicrats],
and build a new person, based upon the collective good for
the majority of Black, Brown, Red, Yellow, and White peoples of
this nation and world. It is time to think and act outside the
Republicrat box of suffocation.
There
is at least one powerful alternative that has been consistently
ignored and / or denigrated by the U.S.
corporate media. The “All
Power To The People” campaign of Green Party U.S.
Presidential candidate, Cynthia McKinney and her Vice Presidential
running mate, Rosa Clemente, embodies that alternative. It
is an alternative that is all about systemic change and building
an ongoing and genuine people’s movement. While others may drink
the poisonous Barack Obama “Kool Aid” of false hope and euphoria,
there is a magnificent and serious grass roots movement of Black,
White, Brown, Red, and Yellow people throughout the United States
who are working to build something that is real, and which goes
well beyond the superficial and stifling voting cycles of
the Democratic and Republican Parties [i.e. the Republicrat
Party]. These folks are working and building now for the
present and the future of this nation and planet.
This is not about false and poisonous “Kool Aid” hope, but rather,
the fresh waters and real hard work of systemic change, once
and for all, for the people of this nation and world.
Now
is the time to be about building for real and systemic
change, not a fake one based upon continued corporate blood-sucking,
manipulation, and pimping of the people.
Let
us ensure that there is a future that is enjoyed by and lived in
by us and our progeny. Onward then. Onward now brothers and
sisters…We can and must do this.
