On Serving the People Versus Serving the System

Even as the masses of Black and poor people of all colors slip deeper into poverty and economic emaciation, and even as the Democratic and Republican politicians, in collusion with the corporate-stream media, persist in their efforts to distort and distract everyday people away from the systemic root causes of their (our) terrible pain, these gate-keepers insist upon promulgating the lie of U.S. systemic �democracy.� It does not matter to these persons that the United States corporate-government continues to be (more so than ever), in the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the �greatest purveyor of violence in the world.� Nor does it matter to these gate-keepers that this nation�s president has signed into law an act (known as the National Defense Authorization Act), allowing for the indefinite detention of U.S. citizens without being charged, having a public trial, jury, or access to legal defense. This horror was brought about by both the Democrats and Republicans, and signed into law by a Democratic president. History is not repeating itself. Certain people have repeated history as it pertains to bringing into existence a legalized police-state in the United States. The Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution is dead. In its place is legalized repression.

The politicians of the Democratic and Republican parties are not servants of the everyday people. They are unprincipled career opportunists in service to the corporate-elite.
