Several in my family became personae non grata in their social circles and physical neighborhoods for campaigning on behalf of the last Democratic nominee in 2008. "End the wars." "Restore justice." "Jail the Banksters." "Health care." "New New Deal." Yeah. Nada.
So now, after 33 years of Reagan and Bush Trickle Down, the rich are the richest they have ever been - sucking up most of the wealth created in human history, while the middle class contracts to become the new poor supermajority. How'd the rich and their servants in Wall Street-on-the-Potomac do it? De-regulation, tax and fiscal policies that directly benefit them, and wars without end for profits without cease.
Seeing how the Iran-Contra traitors from Reagan and Bush admins went unpunished by the Clinton administration, I had hoped to see the Iraq War traitors from the Bush Jr. admin punished by the Obama administration. Instead, leading criminals were given medals or hired on for advice cough Otto Reich Honduras. It appears that we are free to campaign -- and if we're in some money, lobby -- all day long. If not gratifying, at least it's entertainment.
So, no dice, as they say for the needed change of leadership from the crazy. Like their Führer during the last days in Berlin, America's Psychopaths think they will survive wars, economic upheaval, riots, breakdown of society. They. Don't. Care. They know it's us who'll do the dying. And for insurance, they've got escape plans and ratlines in place. And those of us who know and try to organize to stop them? Forgeddaboudid. The NSA and FBI's got our number, which is the point of all that spying.
