Eliminate the one party system with two faces

By John Stanton

July 23, 2005—To all but the most critically astute American minds, a
precious few it must be said, the USA is the most dynamic country to
appear in recorded history.

In the American mind, all problems, foreign or domestic, are, the faithful say,
solvable with another election cycle, a court decision, a high profile
resignation or, perhaps, another war on something (drugs), someone, some
country (North Korea), or some mythical army of millions (terrorists).
America's bounty is endless, they say, the US Constitution unchangeable,
and the US military, led by archangels and their legions of fighting angels,
undefeatable. There are infinite sums of money and limitless ingenuity to
throw at whatever difficulty may come the American way and, besides,
Americans trust in an omnipresent God, so how in God's name could God
abandon those who trust so blindly? All of this propaganda is peddled to
Americans, beginning in utero and ending on a slab in the morgue, by
America's myth-making machinery in religious institutions and the media.
The engine for that machinery is the individual and collective ideological and
monetary wealth of Wall Street.

The powerful of the country run a minimum security, open air labor camp
called the Unites States of America in which the wardens are the
Republicans and Democrats located in the executive, legislative and judicial
branches of the US government, along with their governments-in-waiting at
think tanks around the country. The hideous and anticompetitive one-party
system with two faces is an abomination, a monster disguised as an
American politician, or maybe even a general or CEO, who claims to be the
leader of the free world.

The fact is that 21st Century Americans are little more than laborers,
captives and, like all prisoners throughout recorded history, are fearful, afraid
to challenge the system in any serious way, anxiously waiting on the next
meal and a decent night's sleep before the alarm signals another wretched
day in the hive. The routine is safe and predictable but results in a form of
imprisonment for the vast majority of Americans.

1. Kick and Nominate!!

This is a GOOD article! It tells the truth,It gets at what is ALLOWING the corruption at the top,and down in the unspoken hearts of "we the people." It shows the sickness of the belief systems,the money system,wage slavery and how it holds all of us to routines NOT OF OUR CHOICE in invisible chains and fear! People need to read this and realize they are NOT FREE!!!Not until we start to take care of each other,and stop sucking the ass of the powerful and obeying them.

3. Interesting, but...

If we are caught in a trap, it is a trap of our own making. The debt for our houses, cars, etc., are debts we chose to have. It seems like a labor camp, but by eliminating our personal debt and living simply, we can survive on much less... and by doing that we can choose our work.

I believe that we a genetically pre-disposed to work, and there are things that we can do that we enjoy that can sustain us.

The key is to make a conscious decision to avoid debt. Greed is NOT good, regardless of what you might have heard...


..oh, and the part about us being unwilling to take care of one another? Tell it to the family of Andy Stephenson. You just might get an argument there.
