The True Meaning of "The War on Terror" |
|
So, who do you think stands to loose the most if citizens are protected from fraud, abuse, environmental poisoning, dangerous working conditions, unregulated hours and pay scales, Islamic Terrorists or huge Corporations?
The "terrorists" in this great scam are you and me. The War on Terror is a war on unincorporated citizens. Convince me there isn't at least some truth in this. As Democrats prove that they are owned by Corporate interests and all but the most deluded party loyalists still blame Republicans for Democratic failures, the divide is as clear as the nose on Congress' collective face planted squarely in collective Lobbyists' ass.
The decimation of freedom and privacy carried out by America Inc. is to protect the single most powerful entity in the world from being pestered by you and me--Globalized Corporate Power. How trusting and gullible we are... were!

1. Bin Laden, Hamas, Al Qaeda in where ever, Lashkar-e-Omar, Hizb-ul-Mujahideen |
|
Harkat-ul-Ansar, Harkat-ul Mujahideen, Lashkar-e-Toiba, Hizballah, Irish republican Army (mostly disbanded), Al-Gama’a al-Islamiyya, Manuel Rodriguez Patriotic Front (FPMR), National Liberation Army (ELN)—Colombia, Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), Zviadists (Georgia) are only a few of the several thosuand very real terrorists groups that comit real acts of terror in countries around the world. They are not corporations.
Now, personally, I think law enforcement methods and international cooperation are a better way of handling terrorism, but this is not something created to give corporations power and keep us off their back.

have died at these "evil doers" hands and how many from lack of health care coverage, faulty and dangerous products, tobacco and an endless list of other corporate fraud and collusion? Corporations that have been handed the keys to the White House "officially" are making suckers out of people like you. "They hate us for our freedoms". That's a good one! Just wait a while longer, our own government and corporate powers have accomplished more in terms of serious damage to this country than the attackers of 9/11 and the rest of your boogiemen put together.
It pains me that there are so many people like you. The biggest lies are the easiest to perpetuate.
If the time comes where people stop blaming "out there" and unite to fight the assassination of Democracy "right here", the evasive and egregious expansion of surveillance and incarceration will come in handy. Not against the "others" but you.
