In reply to the discussion: The Great Suppression [View all]Dustlawyer
(10,495 posts)9. K&R! We have a shadow govt., that controls all 3 branches of govt., and the media! The cure is
focusing on getting Publicly Financed elections and Complete Campaign Finance Reform (CCFR). Both Republicans and Democrats should want this since the will of the people is subservient to the will of the oligarchs. We need to start the protests for this ASAP!!! Then we can break up the banks, telecoms, and the media conglomerates. We need to change how the military contracts are handled and cut the bloated military budget. All of the things we need like jobs, address global warming, education reform, medicare for all, infrastructure... could finally be dealt with.
It would be one hell of a fight since the shadow govt., guys will not give up easily. Spread the word!
