All who wander are not lost...

It's been a long time since I've written extensively on politics and economics. That's not a problem, as there's nothing new under the political sun.

Wealth continues to concentrate, as debt spirals out of control, and the corrupted markets move enevitably towards their second, and final crash. The environment continues to shift under our load, with strange and powerful freak weather phenomeon becoming commonplace.

During my 3 year run actively publishing The CommitteeforDemocracy.org, I comprehensively examined all of these issues, but especially elections, domestic policy formation, foreign policy formation, and economic policy formation. My analysis also encompassed the approach of the Corporate Press to each area of policy formation.

The results were consistent across all aspects of policy formation. Corporate and special interest bribery have compromised both parties and all aspects of the legislative process at each level of our government, as well as poisoning the approach and perspective of the so-called "Free Press."

This pattern of complete corporate control of political, economic, and media power in the United States is even more powerful today than on Thursday, April 26 2009 when a fire ended active publication of The Committee for Democracy.

The behavior of politicians is accurately predicted by the pattern of bribes they accepted from their corporate masters.

History and Evolution of American Corporate Fascism

Though corporate corruptions have dominated and distorted American Politics since the 1880s, corporate corruption had been locked in a dynamic interplay with the bruised, tattered remnants of our remaining democratic principals.
Between 1880 and 1900 corporate aristocracy was born in the US, and it has worked relentlessly to mold American society. It has succeeded in concentrating and forming American Wealth and Power into a Corporate Fascist State ruling a global corporate empire.
I am called to write this essay because corporate power has succeeded in establishing uncontested control of our government during our generation.

This is not a question of governmental size or governmental powers, which are "false-flag" arguments often used to distract citizens from the real problem we confront. The vitally important questions concern who controls our government, and how they exercise that control. Until we answer that question, "the people through democratic processes," Corporate power and wealth will continue to control our government through means of bribery and corruption. Not only will we be unable to answer the "size and powers" question honestly under corporate government, the corporate subversion of our sacred democratic institutions has allowed these corporate criminals to commit a continuous stream of domestic and foreign crimes behind the cover of our stolen flag.

American Empire
In 1898 we swiped Cuba and the Phillipines from the Spanish Empire, and began our own empire. In 1905 Teddy "traded" with the Japanese: The Japs would leave us alone to colonize the Phillipines, and we would not bother the Japanese colonization of Korea. We "gave" Korea to Japan.
Since then the American empire has expanded to include a huge stable of dependent corporate states in asia, such as S Korea, Tawian, and Japan. These asian nations transitioned to corporate fascist states via long periods under American sponsored fascist dictators. Chang Kia Shreck in Taiwan, Marcos in the Phillipines, and Rhyee in Korea. Our Pacific Legasy is one of dictators and corporate fascist states. Our behavior differs little in the middle-east, but the titles of the dictators change with the changing regions.
The Arabic Kings, emirs, and various strongmen and military governments compose our domination of the Middle-East. In Africa we have recently compromised the Kenyan government, and have long supported the dictatorships that control Ethiopia and DR Congo. We have well managed the intact transformation of the South African Corporate State from white fascists into the hands of the cooperative black corporate fascists who have co-opted the ANC.

This is just the tip of the iceberg of our empire of corporate fascism. Every nation on earth has felt the whip of American Corporate Fascism, not American freedom, as our corporate press describes the actions of our empire.

"Victory" at Home
Domestic success in establishing corporate fascism has been achieved during the past 30 years. Today corporate wealth and power totally dominates both political parties through bribery, controls the creation of all viable candidates through bribery, and manipulates the "free press" sufficiently to present corruption and bribery as normal, acceptable political practices.
Today America sports a corporate fascist state ruling a globalized corporate empire. The principals, practices, and processes of our democratic Constitution have been successfully put aside by our corporate elite here in the USA, and have not guided our actions around the world since the US entered the global contest for empire in 1898.

The evolution of domestic American Corporate Power has crossed the Rubicon of total corruption. Our domestic political and economic institutions are now antithetical to the most fundamental principals and practices laid out in our Declaration of Independence, our Constitution and our Bill of Rights.

The citizens of our country no longer control our government. The greediest people in the world now fully control our government.

They Won

The domestic struggle between Constitutional or Corporate rule is over, and the forces of greed, the forces of corporate wealth and power have "won." Our corporate elite and their servants have established the uncontested ascendancy of corporate power and wealth over our democratic polity, our economy, our "free press," and these criminals have even managed to warp the very character of the average individual in our society.
"Americans" are now very poorly educated, fat, and relentlessly seek every form of self-gratification, across the whole range of human expressions and desires, without balance or restraint. We have made "pornography" out of every aspect of life.

The individual social values and responsibilities of American Democratic Citizenship have been replaced by those of a consumer by over two-thirds of our population.

The Real Numbers: Occupy This

The 99% and the 1%? Hogwash. At least 32% of our population is dedicated to the pursuit of wealth and power by serving those who currently monopolize the wealth and political power of our nation.
Call it a third of our population who are relatively "rich," actively seek corporate wealth, or serve and support corporate wealth and the corporate elite for their livelyhood. Our corporate elite and their well-subsidized servants (Obama, Bush, bankers, and the illegals...) have no intention of giving up their mutually-supporting system of self-serving criminal wealth, illegitimate power, and unearned position.

Fully 50% of the "American " population will salute, serve, and obey whichever of the corporate parties fulfills their consumer desires. It matters little if the voter chooses the right-wing Repug neocons, or the "left-wing" Democrap free-trade globalists, as represented by Bush and Obama, both parties are completely bribed by corporate and special interests, and 50% of our population will serve whichever party butters their bread. My accounting puts 88% of the American population in service to corruption, dedicated to consumption.

88% of the population is swayed and deluded by corrupted corporate political parties that are two fingers on the same hand. The Dems and Repugs are nothing more than reflections of the "corporate left" and the "corporate right," both are throughly bribed, and neither reflect or represent the values, needs, and interests of the citizens of this country, who are their legitimate constituents.

Whichever wing of the corporate parties that the voter chooses, right or left, Democrap or Repugnant, they are voting for representatives who have already been spoken for, representatives whom have already been bought and paid for by corporate and special interest bribery.
This 50% of "our" people who easily accept this corrupt arrangement as "legitimate," will continue to do so as long as it gratifies their material consumer desires.
But they will whine and cry when they can't buy a new car every two years, live in easy luxury with state-subsidized foreign maids and cheap state-subsidized illegal labor. Their goal in life is to always grow richer and fatter.

Replacing democratic principals and practices with greed and corruption assured that wealth will be short-term, while the loss of our principals will be haunt our children's children. Wealth based on corruption lasts not long and benefits very few. Greed has no future, and can only provide short-term momentary pleasure. These are old lessons the wise understand, that good people must follow, and that the greedy must constantly re-learn.

Half of our "citizens" don't care about our democratic principals or our children's future. They will support whoever feeds their immediate greed, keeping them fat and happy. Those days are over, suckers. Now it's time to pay the piper.

The corporations have drained our country of its national wealth, drained our people of their wealth, and pissed-off our stolen wealth by damaging the very markets they used to steal and concentrate our.
These people are so greedy that they damaged their system of corruption by ripping each other off!
No problem. Their bribed politicians bailed out the failed Wall Street scammers, who coincendentially are the biggest bribers of politicians in our country, by making these thiefs "good" for the money they stole from our nation with our tax dollars.
The thieves who broke our democracy, stole our wealth, and damaged our economy have been kept in power by putting our country into monumental debt to maintain their status as the "super-wealthy."
This was inevitable. They obtained and maintain their wealth and power through political bribery. The politicians have to maintain the wealth of the corporations to maintain the massive structure of bribery and corruption that keeps them in office.

WHY OCCUPY?
A considerable percentage of the Occupy Movement is out on the streets because their master's promise of wealth and luxury evaporated away right before their eyes.

Their jobs disappeared. Wages for labor had already plunged to third-world levels starting 40 years ago, but accelerated radically since thirty years ago, when the democraps decided to trade citizenship for votes, and provide cheap labor for their corporate masters while gathering foreigner's political support to fuel their attack on our middle-class democracy. Exactly like the 1880s.

The only problem is that the corporates did not back off before the situation totally imploded, as they did prior to the crash of 1929. Immigration was was ended in 1924, not to start again until America had formed a middle-class that again needed to be destroyed, and the wealth of a nation that again needed to be stolen.

Immigrants were the corporation's weapon of choice then, as now.

Where were the "occupiers" when our democracy was stolen? Enjoying the rewards of living big at the center of a corporate fascist empire, supporting the illegals who robbed them of their rights and wealth. How's that working out now, now that the results of these "policies" are clear?

We did not magically appear in the desperate circumstances we find our democracy and economy in today. We walked here step by step, policy crime by policy crime, all lubricated and fueled by massive political bribery.

Today there are no jobs for illegals or yuppies. There is no informal work, except that already "occupied" by state subsidized and state protected illegals. There is no professional work that cannot be done cheaper offshore. This is also a situation that is 40 years old, that the occupiers have supported for decades. How'd that work out for you?

It's funny how the Democrats and Republicans share the same policies on war, immigration, offshoring our jobs. The Dems and Repugs both support foreign and domestic economic policies that have reduced the middle-class to third-world wage and labor conditions. It gets even worse.
Right now the Democrats are working with the Republicans to bankrupt Social Security under the guise of a "Payroll Tax Cut." This is a mutual lie told by mutual liars and their captive corporate "free press." This is not a tax cut, it is planned to set up Social Security to be underfunded so it can be cut up and divided up among the Wall Street bribers of both parties. And it gets even worse...
Right now the President is getting ready to openly put aside the Constitution by "authorizing" a bipartisan bill that says the endless illegal detention of American citizens by the military inside the US is A-OK.
As both the Dems and Repugs say, "this merely formalizes policies already in place." Those words, and support for this criminal "law" define traitors who should be hung for their crimes against our Constitution and our Citizens.

Bi-Partisan Traitors

These bi-partisan pieces of treachery exposes the corporate fascist root shared by both parties. These parties only differ by how they split the population by threatening the other side's rights. The dems will take away guns, the repugs will take away womens and gay rights. The parties split and distract us by threatening our various rights while join forces to steal the wealth and honor of our nation.

Neither party, nor any citizen has the right to deny other citizens their rights. Unless you are a corporate politician. From them you will learn that your rights have to be purchased by bribing the corporate politician, or they will be sacrificed to political or economic expediency.

Parties and political "leaders" that mutually loot our treasury while trading off our various Constitutional rights for popularity points deserve the fate that the French Revolution brought to its corrupted aristocracy.
Americans would be well served by ending our corporate aristocracy as the French ended their royal aristocracy. I say make the traitors pay a high enough price that it will discourage the greedy from ever even think about corrupting our democracy again.
That's tomorrow. Today our economy has been looted, our democracy disabled, and our citizens left poor, unemployed, and disempowered.

The Chickens have Come Home to Roost

The corporate domestic and foreign policies of the last 40 years have finally and completely impoverished our average citizens, and we have few options.
Informal work was already and oversupplied, underpaid, and losing earning power every year long before the yuppie's jobs disappeared.
The destruction of our education system by crushing it under state-subsidizing the cheap illegal labor replacing our middle-class happened long before the economic downturn. The breakdown of our education system was not stopped by taxing the employers who were enriching themselves with illegal labor, but by cherry-picking subordinate nation's educated elite, who also happened to be members of brutal autocratic cultural and political elites.
Interesting. The general welfare of our citizens was sacrificed by granting "Citizenship" to members of the global corporate elite...and global cheap labor.

How's that global elite and endless cheap labor working out for you now, you supposed "Americans?"

Our "citizens" have very satisfied with the corporate state. Americans went on an extended shopping spree during the 90's and the first few years of the new century. Until the dot-com bubble burst. No problem. The Democraps and the Repugnants kept the party going with housing, financial, market, and banking bubbles.

The illegals and foreigners love it. The only qualification for Amercian citizenship was lowered down to greed and opportunism by any means necessary. No messy values or principals to "get in the way" of profits.
The corporations, their bribed politicians, their foreign minions, and about 50% of our population significantly enriched themselves by breaking our democratic trust. Well, they enriched themselves for a short while, until their scam came tumbling down.

Hell, they loved what it had done to our country and the world, until it turned on them, and ate them. Well, it has not turned on the illegals and foreigners yet, it has only turned on our own citizens. About 30% of the false wealth, the "bubble wealth" of the middle-class disappeared in an instant in early October of 2008.
Global markets will soon accurately measure the wealth of our nation, and the value of the average American will drop another 30%. As the average American has already lost wages and benefits as the basis of their wealth, this next impending drop in the values of their homes, retirements, and investments will bring home the deep costs of their folly.
This is when United States citizens will reject being characterized as foreigners and illegals in their own country. The actual foreigners and illegals will be physically rejected, along with their corporate masters too. Reinstating our Constitution will require serious action against those who suspended it.

It's ironic that those who broke our Constitution and took the law into their own hands are going to be the ones who cry the most for its protections when we come for them.

The fact is that our corporations could not have turned on the world until they had already defeated our democracy here. The sad fact is that there is no shortage of foreigners willing to serve corporate greed and the American Corporate Fascist State either here, or under our dictator in their country, no matter what our Constitution says. Our Constitution is not important to the foreigners, the illegals, or the traitors who have forced them upon us.

Money is.

Let's see the occupiers address the real processes of greed that have destroyed our democracy and looted our country. Then you better be ready to say bye-bye to both corporate rule and their leigons of domestic and foreign minions who facilitated the destruction of the rule of law and the subsequent transfer of the nation's wealth to the top...

Today the corporate elite and their foreign and domestic minions have once again finished looting our country, much as they did last time. The message I have for the occupiers is "TOO LATE." Our environment has been looted, our resources drained, our infrastructure destroyed, and our democracy gutted.
We don't have the earning power to employ all the foreigners our corporate bubbles drew into the country during their frenzy of irresponsible growth. They did not pay the educational, medical, judicial and prison bills, none of the costs of the doubling of our population during the good times of astronomical profits. Now we don't have those profits, only debts. We don't have any more "bubble jobs," only unemployed illegals standing on our street corners who each have six fucking illegal kids in our schools. Good work asswipes.

This is the same shit that happened between 1880 and 1929, when mass immigration was first trumpeted by the Robber Barons as the basis of American Identity and validity. As during this era, the Gilded Age ended in a big crash, but not until it had given birth to a criminal aristocracy.
Since the Robber Baron's propaganda campaign that "we are all immigrants" was launched in the 1880s this notion has been cultivated by the corporate elites to replace our identity as a democratic state based on democratic principals and democratic individuals with that of "immigrant" identity.

An American is not longer a citizen of a democratic state, they are an " illegal immigrant" in a corporate fascist consumer state. Wow. Our forefather's democratic revolution, our political principals and practices, our whole political history and legasy, flushed down the toilet.

This shift in identity is only the superficial manifestation of a much deeper change. The rule of law under democratic process and principals was replaced by the rule of individuals. And the identity of the individual was shifted as well. Individuals were no longer defined as citizens with rights and responsibilities, they are now defined as a foreigner motivated by greed.
On the national scale democratic principals and process in politics, government, and society were replaced by the will of naked power and wealth. This change in identity means that our democratic principals and practices, the people, no longer regulate commerece, but that the people now serve illegal wealth and power.

The change in American identity from that of a citizen to that of a crimigrant or an "immigrant" willing to serve our corrupted government marked the point where the greed of the individual has displaced democratic principal as the fundamental unit of American social identity.

This "immigrant" propaganda, matched with the reality of personal greed and supercharged by the attendant mass immigration has now been used twice by the corporate elite as their most powerful weapon against our citizens and their rights. Mass immigration first displaced our Farmer Democracy between 1880 and 1924, and mass immigration has been the handmaiden of corporate fascism from 1970 through the present day.

Same old Scam, New Era
This scam was applied first by the robber barons to crush our bottom-up farmer democracy, and today, during our generation, it is being used by the children of the Robber Barons, our corporate elite, to fuel the evolution of their class and their established corporate state into an outright Corporate Fascist Empire, with its attendant police state regulating a population of subservient "immigrant consumers."

The foreigners who come here know exactly what we are, corporate consumers in a corporate fascist state, and have sworn loyalty to the greedy who have subverted our government for their piece of "the American dream." And now this piece of crap is in full collapse, and people are finally hitting the streets.

I guess hunger is a good reason to finally wake up, long after the limits of ethics, decency, and democracy were violated. In the past we had civil unrest when our rights and liberties were violated. That era is lost. Today, we have civil unrest when consumer's dreams of grasping for wealth, greed, and power in an established global corporate empire turn into a nightmare for the "citizens" at home... Gee, what went wrong? Why isn't the corporate fascist state providing justice? Gee, says the occupier, I'm so surprised and upset that corporate corruption and greed does not pay off... Back to the numbers...

My count of the "American" population puts 32% of the population in active service to the principals and practices of greed, actively serving "the 1%," with an additional 50% of the population serving anyone who pays them.
This means that 83% of the population is knowingly engaged in active service to greed and corruption for their own personal enrichment, and puts their own personal enrichment before our democratic principals.
By my measure that leaves a total of 17% of the population who are not serving and pursuing wealth and power.
It appears to me that no more than half of the remaining 17% of the people in this country hold, practice, or even preach the democratic principals and practices specified and required by our founding documents for legitimate government by and for American Citizens.

8% of our population hold the values necessary for citizenship, and none of them are in business or government.

Occupy Wall Street
The Occupy Wall Street people have come out against "unfairness," and the great division of wealth and power in this country that happened over the last 40 years of "growth." That's good. But they only hit the streets after their jobs, houses, retirements, and all the promises that the land of "opportunity" made to them over the last 40 years have been revoked.
They bought the Old Lie of the Robber Barons, and its attendant policies of endless greed and growth for the last 40 years, until the "bait" of endless self-gratification fell off the hook, and the hook was set in their head. Now they are upset?

Where were these people when our government was bribed into submission, our jobs were shipped overseas, and millions upon millions of illegal foreigners and the boot-licking minions of our foreign dictators were brought in to destroy the middle class? I'll tell you where they were.
They were talking about how cheap labor and globalism would make them rich. Their egos were swollen by the feelings of power and superiority their corporate masters shared with them. They bought the lies hook, line, and sinker because it made them feel big. Now they only have a hook in their head...

The looting of our country was preordained when these idiots traded the fundamental principals of our country for the lies of the greedy and corrupt, to satisfy their own personal greed and ego.
I see little difference between the average "American's" motivations, the motivations of the corporate elite, and the motivations of the foreigners: Greed and ego. How's that working out? Still feeling "big?" "Rich?" Ha! The joke's on you.

The result of this witch's brew of greed, corporate corruption, wars and massive immigration was the final breakdown of our Constitutional democracy. The separation of the wealth of our country from our people was assured when we lost the "fairness" that our Constitutional system enshrines.
The Occupy Movement crys about the symptoms, while it must address and target the cause to fix our broken democracy. The loss or our Constitutional democracy happened a long time ago. The situation we now confront was assured when we lost our democracy, and the ability to control the wealthy and powerful corporations in our nation.
Corporate power now completely controls us, our government, and our society.
We were assured of an eventual confrontation between the general welfare of the people and greed when the corporations and the corporate elite slipped out from under the democratic restraints of our Constitution.

That happened a long time ago, in the 1880s on the backs of the last massive immigration. Good people from then until now have failed to nip these criminals in the bud. Most have been bought off, the rest silenced.
Back then, as today, claims for fair wages and conditions are trumped by illegals-and the supposed "legals" who are more than willing to work for third world wages in third world conditions.
The wealth of our country has long been "separated" from our citizens, our democratic political power and restraints have long been neturalized, and the power of our country long used for criminal pursuits here and around the world.
This situation has gone on for well over a century. I'd say this crap has gone on long enough.

The corporations and their political and press mouthpieces assured us that giving up our rights and democratic checks and balances was required to make us all rich, that illegals would serve and extend our luxury, and the only principal of importance in life was that of their assets, loans, and various financial scams. Everything would always grow, grow in size, population, value, wealth, gratification, and power. That is the very air we breathe, the water we swim in, and composes the basic social assumptions that underlays the justification of our corporate elite.

What a bunch of crap.

Over 75% of our people drank this koolaid of "greed-endless growth-bribery and corruption," and called it good. In public. In the meantime they imported millions and millions of people who totally agreed with this traitorus line of crap.
Apparently if you supported your local US-sponsored dictator, are willing to do anything for money, and swear "allegience" to these principals, and the corrupted government that asserts them, and you are a "citizen." Have any of these fuckers read our Constitution? I have, and I believe in it, and that requires me to fight the corporate power that has subverted our government. Not swear loyalty to the government that supports my local dictator, King, Emir, or corporate state...my god, where else would the rich and greedy go to than America?

That's the current basis of citizenship in America.

The people who came here and swore allegience to the corporate criminals who hijacked the American Government have some "splaining" to do. Go serve the rich tyrants in your own fucking country. We have to control or kill ours here, so why the fuck are foreigners tolerated serving, enriching, and empowering our criminals, corporate fascist state, and otherwise empower our own criminal system?

The current circumstances we are facing today were assured when our political, Free Press, and economic elites were dominated by a corporate elite, and able to use their politial and economic assets to transform enough of our citizens into adherents of the corporate elite, consumers, and adherents of empire. I call bullshit on this whole scam.

This chapter of the final destruction of our democracy began in the 1960s, and it has not yet ended, even after the corporate criminals and their foreign and domestic allies have subverted our polity, drained our economy, and have destroyed the middle-class all while driving our lives deep into grinding third-world poverty.

Oh, and our fundamental rights as Americans were flushed down the toilet... with the illegals and immigrants cheering... It is time to shoot the rich along with their political and economic servants.

This is the logical and predictable result of allowing the greedy to capture our government, our press, and control our society. If you did not see it when it was happening you intentionally blinded yourself to our common responsibilities with your own material self-interest or belief. America is about tolerating the beliefs of others, NOT imposing them on your fellow citizens, be they "laws" against guns, gays, or abortions. Each of these impositions is an insult against all of our rights, and imposing illegals is tantamount to saying the Americans have no rights and no soveregnity over their own nation. And here we are.
You lied to yourself if you believed that imposing any of your beliefs on others could be Constitutionally or morally justified. Speaking of liars...

Obama just changed back into "Campaign Obama," the guy who promised us so much during the last election, and did so little. Now he tells us the "People who PLAY BY THE RULES..." should be rewarded, while out of the other side of his mouth he tell the Crimigrants, the Illegals in this country, that they and their employers will be rewarded for not "playing by the rules," for breaking the most fundamental assertion of American soveregnity, citizenship.

No, valid American Citizenship is not based on work, greed, serving the rich, or sneaking into our country. Citizenship is based on holding, believing in, and practicing the principals in our Constitution. It is our "rule of law," and millions of criminals, and many millions of people who are enemies of our most fundamental democratic principals have been made "citizens" by our current illegitimate government and the corporate parties who subverted it.
Foreign Criminals serving our domestic Criminals...it would be funny if the very life of our country was not at stake.

Like his corporate masters, and his predecessor Bush, Obama speaks in glowing terms about American rights and values while he disgraces both. The way out of the complexities of this mess is quite clear:

I suggest that all "Occupiers" who chafe at the "unfairness," all "Occupiers" who have been robbed by the systamatic corruption that collapsed the housing market, all who are denied basic access to health and education, all who are facing a grim retirement, or no retirement at all, must all put aside their specific differences to address the common source of the wide range of crimes our illegal government has committed against all of them. We must sweep the money-changers out of our polity.

We must restore our constitutional democracy. We must cut the flow of bribery from the top down, and prevent every candidate for office in this country from accepting more "contributions" (BRIBES) from special interests outside of their constituiency than from the actual voters in their election.

Occupy-Organize

I suggest that the Occupy Movement organize for two goals. First, that the Occupy Movements within each state should coordinate on drafting an initative or law that will end political bribery by all special interests by making it illegal to accept more money in outside bribes than from local constituients in their states.

Second, the Occupy Movement would be well served by declaring their national goal to be ridding our national government of the corruption and bribery that has de illegitimized it by first forming a Congressional law and then a Constitutional Amendment to protect the right of petition by separating the right of petition from the accompanying bribes.

No problem with the right to petition, but if the petition has a check attached to it, it is a bribe and both the giver and taker should be put in prison or shot.

If the Occupy Movement wants economic, social, and political fairness it would be well served by directly targeting the source of unfairness, the destruction of our our Constitutional democracy and it principals and practices.

The movement is currently wandering around, speaking to a host of seemingly divergent "unfairnesses." All of the political and economic crimes of our corporate elite and their minions are founded on the core unfairness: corrupting our democracy through bribery.

Let's stop our wandering about, and all of us set our compass towards the North Star of democracy, of our Constitutional American Democracy. The destination of our movement must be to end the bribery and corruption dominating our society, first in the political sphere, so that we can end corporate control of our country, regain local control of the press, and concretely punish the corporate criminals who have dismantled our democracy. This is the only way to democratically address the housing, health, employment, and crimigrant problems that these bastards have brought down on our heads

We must restore our Constitutional Democracy to fix the problems its corruption and corruptors have brought down upon our country.

Without an honest central position to bring together and direct the power of reform to clean out the cesspool of American politics, and bring the corporations back under the control of the people, we will begin to see individual and groups of patriots forming up to take out the rich and their servants.

It is long past time that patriots have been completely justified in shooting the corporate leadership that provides the funds and mans the lobbying apparatus that determines the outcome of all law and policy in our country. The rich and their political and economic servants have hijacked our government and shattered our Constitutional system and democratic process. The greedy must be removed from political control of our nation.

Lobbyists, mid-level businessmen to CEOs, politicians, and their minions are getting pretty nervous right now. And for good reason. The Corporate Fascist State will not give up their criminal wealth and power without a fight, and those of their minions who cannot afford blackwater security and gated communities are exposed, and going to be getting picked off, if I read the American population correctly.

If I am correct, Restoring Democracy in American is going to happen, if it means peaceful political reform or bloody revolution.

In any case, we don't have much time left to do this peacefully. Our economy, hell the whole world economy and the global environment is unbalanced, unstable, and is going to increasingly punish us for decades, if not hundreds of years.

Our situation is turning rapidly and radically worse, and unless we can quickly restore political balance in our country our national and global instabilities are going to finish delivering a chaotic third world reality to the majority of Americans.

Broken Deal: The Basis of Government
I do not claim citizenship by birth, nor by some diffuse "human right" to be an American, nor by work, wealth, or serving the wealthy. I claim American citizenship because I understand and believe in the principals contained in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.

"Citizenship"
I claim citizenship because I will fight for your rights as an American, even if I don't believe your religion, like your guns, or who you kiss. Those who claim citizenship by taking away the rights of Americans are not citizens, but rather traitors or invaders in support of traitors. American citizenship is based on principals, not economic productivity or corporate profit. It is certanily not based on being a "foreigner," or an "immigrant," as the corporate elite and many of the occupiers claim.

Talk the American Citizenship talk, walk the American Citizenship walk, and put your country's principals before your personal profit, and you are an American Citizen.
Sneak into the country, serve the corporate criminals, and seek the life of corporate wealth and consumption, and you are either a foreign or domestic enemy of our country during its most dire hour. You should be shot.

Big Surprises Coming
Within the flood tide of urban and suburban young idiot consumers there is a deep emptiness and yearning for honest spiritual and politicall validity that consumer culture can never fill or feed, for consumer life creates this emptiness.
I see millions of young idiot consumers who are seeking a valid basis for their lives, beliefs, and material possessions that does not currently exist in the USA.

I see these kids moving to act as the vanguard of the Next American Revolution, as soon as they are inspired by real American principals.
The key is going to be the answer to the question, "what is an American," with the central values and principals that made us great: the mutual defense of our fellow citizen's different expressions of our individual rights, held together by the limited democratic institutions that eminate from our citizens as called for by our Constitution.
