The Economy, Indefinite Detention and the Drums of War

The actual message of the U.S. corporate-government to the world is, �do as I say, not as I do!� Ironically, it is the U.S. government itself who first unleashed the terrible nuclear genie upon humankind, and who remains a foremost nuclear power to this very day – which fact is not missed by other nations of the world. Clearly, if the U.S. government truly desired nuclear disarmament – it would lead by example. Political saber rattling and war mongering is not the example, and though it may make for effective internal U.S. political propaganda, it is a sure recipe for war. To reiterate: The corporate-owned United States government sustains itself (not its people) by active wars, the threat of wars, and internal and external subterfuge.

The farce of �democracy� and elections in this corporate owned nation has, in 2012, become self-evident. The questions remain however: What further subterfuge against everyday people will the corporate-controlled U.S. government utilize? Moreover, how much more can or will the people tolerate? Indeed, in the words of Langston Hughes, �What happens to a dream deferred?� Only the actions of and by everyday Black, White, Brown, Red, and Yellow people collectively can and will decisively answer these questions.
