The systemic economic and political power-brokers of the United States� elite have always understood that the most effective way to control people is, first and foremost, through the incessant application and perpetuation of mental chains. It is crucial that everyday ordinary Black, White, Brown, Red, and Yellow people understand this and act accordingly.
Economic hegemony on the part of this nation�s power-elite was, and remains today, part and parcel of the above-described paradigm of power and distorted human relations. Thus, in the year 2008, the economic and political power-brokers, which have morphed into what is presently referred to as the corporate elite, overwhelmingly acted together (be they so- called Democrats or Republicans) to take full and crass advantage of the very odious paradigm of mental colonization which they themselves had so long maintained, by ensuring that the nominally black, then candidate (Barack Obama) – who publicly claimed to be the champion of everyday ordinary people – would be �elected� and installed as the next head of the U.S. corporate/military Empire. This was, of course, a cruel but well planned hoax by the corporate power elite of this nation, perpetrated against struggling ordinary people. Neither the corporate owned Democratic party or the corporate owned Republican party, offered then in 2008 or now in 2012, the much-needed systemic change that everyday people desire and deserve. Nevertheless, the pressing question is: How could such a terrible hoax be so thoroughly perpetrated against the people? The answer is, that when a people have been so thoroughly mentally colonized, they are in a constant state of vulnerability. Mental colonization equals subjugation. Only by exposing, and simultaneously breaking free of and from, this hideous form of colonization can the ability to critically think and analyze be regained and vigorously applied.
