Your government is owned.

[arcadian]

Not by you. By the real rulers of this country, the CEOs, executives and stockholders of Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, General Electric, General Dynamics, Westinghouse, Halliburton, Kellogg Brown & Root, BlackwaterUSA(Xe), BAE Systems, Dyncorp, Titan, Exxon Mobil, Chrysler Daimler, and various other oil and defense industry contractors and their media subsidiaries and affiliates. Your Congressional Representatives and Senators are not your's, they don't work for you. They work for them. The government does not work for your best interest it works for the interest of the Military Industrial Complex. The United States has been on a permanent war footing since December 7, 1941. We never stopped feeding the war machine, now it's all that we are, we do nothing else but wage war. Our national identity is that of a nation at permanent war.
