“We the People are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts,
not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.” -Abraham Lincoln “I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country; corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption in High Places will follow, and the Money Power of the Country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the People, until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the Republic is destroyed.”-Abraham Lincoln, shortly before his assassination _______ maybe it's a condition of becoming older...but I find the wisdom of our past leaders more important today than at any time in history...there are revisionist theories that the assassination of Lincoln was directed by the international bankers in retaliation to Lincoln's issuance of the "greenback" monetary policy. before you scream "conspiracy theory" do some reading..it is interesting. |

funlover..what is next ?..to me it is a return to a feudalist
society with no middle class..the lower class will return to a form of slavery that will serve the 8 corporate / bank interests at the top and their selected royal families...there are no images of any kind of utopia in a one world government system. |

It's scary. Things don't look good to me. Not only are the corporations
gaining control, what happens if we get hit by a disease and our working class can't work our economy will collapse. |

Hi daVinci and everyone...
I think more likely than world government is a global network -- oligarchy -- of top corporations and their support allies, like a clutch of academics, of lobbyists, of public relations types, and technologists. I'm afraid that only our national governments can stand up to this and bring under control. If I am right about this, we should worry, because our governments (and not just that of the US) are caving in all over the planet. Indeed, some governments are saying to the global corporations: Sure, settle in make yourselves at home, pay us some money directly and we will protect you through our legal sovereignty (protection from information disclosure, extradition, banking regulations, etc.) It is not a good situation. |

I agree Oceans..but you left out an important factor..it appears the
corporations also have the military as part of their hierarchy...that is the part that scares me..and depresses me to be frank...our military leaders have sold out... |
|
|

You may be right, daVinci. And if they are not, they are part of the
government.... Certainly here in the US the corporations suck up to the military -- all kinds of full-page ads, 'saluting' our troops and pledging them all the equipment they can use. Of course, these ads appear around the time a new military spending bill is being considered, or a new large DoD procurement is in the works. Boeing, Lockheed are among the main companies that do this. I'll look at the ads more carefully and post more names as they pop up. Oceans |

well as long as the people keep saying that it does not matter what i
think or my vote don't make a difference things will never change this country has turned into a self instant gratification if one can not see results yesterday then it must not be working where would the civil rights movement be if that is how people thought back in the 1900s also a throw away society from plastic cutlery and paper bags to unwanted children (i will be attacked on that one) and spouses the first thing to do to destroy a society is to destroy the family unit when the family is gone then the community fellowship will go next and on n on it will go just a thought but hey what do i know |
|
|
|
