Assuaging White Guilt 101

White supremacy takes so many forms that I could spend the rest of my life expounding upon it and not come anywhere close to an exhaustive analysis. One particularly insidious form of white supremacy is how it causes not only nonwhites to prefer lighter skin over darker skin but also how it causes white people to live in ahistorical denial about their true genetic makeup, (and others’ as well), since white supremacy is based primarily upon the visual cues of various skin pigmentations. Almost every American whose family has lived in this ill-gotten land for several generations has European, African or Asian blood in them. If race were based upon genetics then there would be no racism because Americans are basically a bunch of mongrels, present company included.

But we know that white racism is based largely on skin coloration with facial and body features playing a smaller role in the identification process. Some people are so close to appearing white, even though they may be close to 100% genetically black, that they are able to “pass” as a white person. When whites cannot identify the race of an individual they temporarily suspend racist judgment of them until they confidently determine ethnicity somehow. Whites would have to mistakenly condemn a white person to a life of blackness. In fact this is known as “passing” and still happens today. Most overtly racist people in America are not whites but nonwhites. Many Asians, including Indians (natives from India), possess extremely racist beliefs when they come to America and which only worsen after assimilating with the dominant white power structure. There are many Africans that hold negative beliefs about African Americans. Even many Afro-Caribbeans hold negative views of African Americans despite the fact that whites enslaved all of us. Most of these false beliefs stem from negative stereotyping of blacks in the media so that many in these non-black minority groups also come to believe that blacks are inherently lazy, shiftless, violent and oversexed.

The thing about skin racism, or “skinism” as I prefer to accurately call it, is that it completely separates the person from their culture and individuality. That means white people are free to treat blacks and other groups they fear and loathe as monoliths on issues like crime and education but then still supposedly have real black friends, although those black friends are only acceptable if they are self-hating “Uncle Tom” blacks like Clarence Thomas who deny their own culture and heritage to appear more palatable to whites. This also helps assuage white guilt which originates from willingly or unwillingly receiving undeserved benefits from a system that still oppresses and marginalizes non-whites to this very day to varying degrees in almost every aspect of society.

Another method that whites use to assuage the guilt for the crimes of their ancestors, and their current complicity in the ongoing legacy of slavery, is family trees. White people in America are bored with whiteness. It’s not hard to understand why. Whites voted for Obama because of the economy but not being white also helped him. There really is no white culture, unless you consider it an amalgamation of European contributions from Italians, Greeks, Irish and others. Those people are actually separate races themselves. They only become white when they come to America to benefit from the system erected on white skin privilege. Make no mistake. That is why Europeans come to America. They may say they want a better life but that unnecessarily translates into the exploitation of other ethnic groups, namely blacks and Latinos.

When whites trace their roots they simply omit all blacks and other races that might make whites consider them non-white and include those that they don’t perceive as having negative stigmas with financial consequences. It is key that other whites not be able to visually identify any such ethnic heritage. It’s all about whites wanting to be part of a real culture but without having to endure the oppression that comes with the territory, as if that somehow absolves them of the historical crimes forming the bedrock of their social status. I cannot tell you how many times I have heard whites admit to being part Cherokee or some other tribe that was local to this part of the country but then fly into a rage when it is suggested they might have black ancestry as well. This is what I refer to as “totem pole” racism. White people long to be connected to non-white people because there is no white race and hence have no cultural authenticity. There are only people with what we call white skin, which is clearly closer to a peach color than white just like most blacks are really a shade of brown. It is an effective techniquie for dividing people when society reinforces the belief that black is evil and white is good.

White supremacy hurts white people but whites would rather maintain the system of privileges than ignore skin color and live amongst everyone else as equals. They don’t believe they could survive and compete without the unfair advantages thrust upon them at birth and which they grow up believing to be completely normal. Blacks are the reference point for the bottom of the totem pole but as a substitute for real human connection which is why many whites like adopt some meaningless aspect of other cultures to make them feel a part of something spiritual. This is a secondary system of racism within racism. Lighter skinned races are preferred over darker ones for whites that think it makes them “not so white” to have oppressed people in their family trees as proof that they are somehow not racist or complicit in their reception of white skin privilege. To whites the only racists become skinheads, Klansmen and other violently extremist groups.

Another good example of this phenomenon, whereby whites assuage guilt by embracing only native American ancestry invisible to the naked eye, is white people that love black culture. We call them negrophiles. They are enamored with different aspects of blackness but usually find blacks just as reprehensible as your run-of-the-mill KKK member. If whites really cared about their native American ancestry, outside of just wanting to be something other than just white, they would not celebrate Thanksgiving. It would be an abomination to them, as it shoud be to all of us, just like the racist names and mascots common in professional sports that make a mockery of the genocide committed by whites’ ancestors. We can never solve the problem of race until we come face to face with it. Apparently most whites in and out of power are still unwilling to do so. That means for now whites will continue to deny that racism is still a problem in America even when they go through these elaborate schemes that prima facie prove the contrary. The day is approaching when whiteness itself will be equated with racism and lack of true civilization instead of the greatness the Founding Fathers had hoped would be their legacy. Then and only then will mankind be able to achieve its potential instead of living the lie that is global white supremacy.

Al Qaeda Smaeda………….

Folks there is no Al Qaeda hellbent on the destruction of western society. Is this angle still working on some mindless segment of the population? Today it was announced that Al Qaeda’s second in command, Al-Zawahiri, wants further attacks against the US under Obama. The first 9/11 was not carried out by Al Qaeda. If you have not figured that out by now then you are truly lost. The double agents of the largely overblown Al Qaeda work for the CIA just like Bin Laden, who is now dead.

The only threat to this country is from the government itself and the corporations they work for as they have already completed planning of another false flag terror attack on the American people. No one knows for sure where it will be this time but there is string speculation that the Los Angeles area will be targeted with a suitcase nuke. And you thought 24 was just a Hollywood fantasy. If you pay attention to the movies coming out of Hollywood it can tell you a lot about American foreign policy and what the elite have in store for mankind in the near future.

But it’s still the corporations stupid. They pay the government to scare the American people, mostly whites who fear everyone that isn’t white, Russia excluded, with classic scare tactics and fearmongering. Then they take your rights and go to war to make corporations richer. This is straight from the Nazi propaganda playbook. It you do not know history you are not only doomed to repeat, you may very well be doomed by it.

If you still think this is the greatest country on Earth just because we used to have a high standard of living from pilfering and pillaging other countries then you just haven’t been paying much attention. As cliche as it sounds everything that goes up must come down. In our case it’s going to be a violent crash instead of a level descent. All we had to do was value each human being on the planet equally and not put the rich above the poor. Would that have been so hard? And no, there is no Jesus coming back to save us. If anything it would be to condemn us.

Generation N

It’s normal to be somewhat cocky in your younger years. You feel like you are never going to get old and that nothing can hurt you. It’s not true but that’s how many young people feel. I was young once. I’m thirty-eight now and I still feel somewhat indestructible. Of course my injuries don’t heal as quick anymore and I have to use Grecian formula for my hair but that’s another story. I hope I am not becoming a middle-aged curmudgeon that fails to understand the generation gap. When I was young there were people who thought they were they were gods as well but youth today have taken it a step further. I guess I’ll never know what it feels like to be a “hot” guy because I’m only 5′8″ 150lbs dripping wet and most women like tall guys but I don’t think I’m overstepping my bounds when I say that the current Generation X is actually Generation N for narcissism.

Everywhere I turn these days all I see is teenagers and twenty-somethings heaping self-praise on themselves for having done little to absolutely nothing. It’s like the youth of America are becoming a bunch of Paris Hiltons. It’s fine to be confident but you look like an insecure idiot when you walk around worshipping yourself with no actual substantive achievements. Young people these days are just downright full of it and it’s why young people have so few friends. They overestimate and constantly delude themselves. It’s as if they are attempting to channel Hollywood and all of the bloviating BS they see on tv. ?Young people that have not figured out who they are yet are very vulnerable to the negative effects of television. Too many young people are modeling themselves after what they see on tv so instead of developing their natural abilities over time.  The result is an empty shell and substitute fantasy of who they would like to be. They then spend all of their time trying to convince the rest of us that they are in fact that person or something close to it and hence deserving of our praise. This bloated hubris of projection has huge ramifications not only for American society but the entire flattening world of globalism since we are exporting this mentality to emerging countries like Brazil, India and China. If corporations are going to be allowed to mold our children, since parents aren’t doing the job, then what type of future will any of us have?

This self-obsession is destroying America as we speak. It is actually concealing massive insecurities that would normally assuage over time if youth were allowed to develop in a normal psychological manner but tv preempts, pardon the pun, this process and perverts it. I have yet to see anyone completely recover from this cancer of complete self-absorption. It is surely tied to our consumer culture and technocracy but it is much more than that. It’s almost as if we are raising a generation of people seeking individuality but actually end up being carbon copies of each other. People who think they are god’s gift to everything are usually good for nothing. This is the by-product of American nativism, exceptionalism and hyperindividualism that is cultivated by capitalism and social engineering. The worst part is that if I’m talking about you then there is almost no chance you even have the capacity to see how damaged a person you really are. Maybe I should be writing an articl about how great I really am.

What I’m thankful for: Nothing

Every year I write a piece about Thanksgiving in America the land of lies and home of historical revisionism and every year nothing changes. Americans are just programmed to do the bidding of corporations. We have our thought boxes on all day absorping as much propaganda and subliminal suggestion as humanly possible. We don’t know what we really believe because to actually think for yourself requires the tv to not be on. We are told what to believe and many of us are just fine with that. I guess thinking was overrated anyway. There really must be something in the water in America. Actually it’s sodium fluoride, a known human toxin that dumbs down adults and causes brain damage in babies. It obviously works.

Instead of my usual reflection on the past atrocities this nation has committed against the indigenous people and others in conjunction with the financial fleecing of America via these consumerist holidays, I’d like to take us down a different yet equally objectionable road this time around. Americans love lists. We love to make lists of all sorts of things, especially at this time of year. During Thanksgiving we make lists of things we are thankful for. Most people say family, friends, their health, yada yada yada. These are all the things that we’re supposed to say because they are intangibles and we don’t like to believe just how shallow and materialistic we really are. Americans don’t value friendship. A recent study showed that almost all of us have less than three close friends. That is not reflective of a society that values friendship. How about our families? Well every time someone is killed guess who the police question first? Right, the family. Do we even value our health? Well we eat fast food all day, allow sodium fluoride in our water, rarely exercise and take dangerous prescription drugs all the time. It doesn’t sound like we value our health either to me.

This is America’s problem in a nutshell: lies. When you lie to yourself it’s called a delusion and we are delusional as hell in America. It’s probably why we spend so much time at the shrink getting prescriptions that lie to us even further that everything is ok. Truth be told Americans value their possessions because we are professional commodity fetishists. We value power too, which is really nothing more than the ability to control what other people value. White people value their skin privilege. Americans value houses, cars, expensive food, clothing and vacations. We are consumers consumed by consumption. Dumb, fat and happy is what we are. And oh yes, doomed as hell we are as well. We almost never see the light from the oncoming train at the end of the tunnel. When we do we pretend it’s Jesus.

What really bugs me about these people who say they are thankful for things and who want to know what I’m thankful for is the assumption that I’m thankful for anything. When people say they’re thankful for something the implication is that God, making the huge assumption that a benevolent god exists, gave it to them or caused something personally favorable to happen to them. I’ve always wondered that if God does good things for some people then isn’t that to the exclusion of others? In other words if a guy wins the lottery then shouldn’t God make everyone win the lottery or some equivalent prize? I don’t think religious people really care too much about that. They want God to be good to them and pretty much screw everyone else. Sounds like a nice religion doesn’t it?

It is insulting to me for people to assume everyone they meet is a believer. If I’m not supposed to be thankful to God then who am I actually thanking? Am I thanking my boss because he gave me a decent raise? I betcha he got an even bigger one or I never would’ve seen a dime. Some people are actually shallow enough to thank their false god for material possessions. These are the equivalent of the end zone celebrations in football where the person who scores points up at the sky to give their god credit for the touchdown. Yeah, you didn’t know that God was a huge football fan? I just hope the Redskins aren’t playing on Thanksgiving Day because the Cowboys sure as hell will be. Do I even need to explain the horrific irony of that?

So I am officially thankful for nothing. I’ve had plenty of bad luck in my life to go along with the good or at least the good and bad as I see it and that’s the thing. Nothing is intrinsically good or bad. It’s all about how humans perceive and filter those events through their own personal baggage. Unfortunately most Americans don’t know who they are because they allow corporations to define them. Am I glad I’m not dead? Most days. Am I glad I have a job ultimately serving the corporate elite? No. It makes me feel awful I have to do that just so I don’t have to live with my mother. Am I thankful for food, clothing and shelter? That’s impossible because those are all things I bought with the money from the job I’m not thankful for. Besides, most food is full of carcinogenic chemicals, clothing is only needed in public to keep from being arrested for indecent exposure and to keep from freezing in the winter and my rent is too high. But now that I think about it I am thankful for two things: 1) I’m thankful that I can think independently of corporate and consumerist influence while envisioning a better world and 2) That I’m not one of the people that can’t. God didn’t do that. I did.

Bush ignored by G20 leaders

How appropriate that the world’s biggest bully (fronting for Cheney that is) now looks like the world’s loneliest loser. I have no sympathy for the man and any of the 42 president before him. They have been collectively responsible for more death, disease and destruction than any other people on the planet. Obama will not change that course. He will just give it a new face. I hope Bush and co. are eventually tried and convicted for war crimes, countless violations of the Constitution and jurisprudence along with masterminding or being complicit in the false flag of 9/11. I know. I won’t get my hopes up.

Obama suckered blacks (and we don’t care)

The selection of a genocidal, homicidal Zionist as Obama’s Chief of Staff tells me everything I need to know about his agenda for the next four years. Obama, whether he wants to be or not, is a black man. Black people in America have been victims of genocide by whites for centuries. Our total annihilation is the plan and if whites are not actively participating in it, then most of the rest tacitly go along with it by turning a deaf ears and blind eyes to our suffering. White apathy is a key feature of white supremacy. It allows whites to deny there is a problem while the same continues. It also allows them to dehumanize us so that when blacks suffer it’s like stepping on an ant to them. Hurricane Katrina was just one visible example. What more do blacks need to know to realize that this government has never and will never give a damn about us?

If blacks have suffered, still suffer and will suffer more in the future here in America for not being the right color then why did blacks hypocritically throw their votes to a man supporting the same treatment of the Palestinians by the Israeli government? What is wrong with us? Where is our moral compass? Our religion is dead. If religion doesn’t promote morality and peace then what is its purpose, (other than allowing politicians to manipulate us?) I am deeply and profoundly disappointed in black peoples’ inability to see through the lies and obfuscation of the corporate media to see Obama for what he is: a tool of the global white power structure.

It is not the job of black people to support other black people regardless of their agenda. Black people should support leaders that want to do the right thing, and not just the right thing for Americas, but the right thing for the world. Our support of Obama demonstrates exactly how damaging white supremacy has been to us. We would rather have a black face on white supremacy than a black face on morality. Americans don’t care what happens to the rest of the world. Whites may be apathetic to our concerns but nonwhite Americans are also largely apathetic toward the concerns of the rest of the world. Once people are indoctrinated into the western way of life of the self, the false American dream, hyperindividualism and the lies of freedom their purpose becomes nothing more than sustaining and maintaining corporate domination and dominion over every facet of human life on this planet.

What will happen is this: Despite Obama’s choice of the equivalent of a Jewish Hitler as the powerful White House Chief of Staff blacks will continue to support him, hoping for a morsel of financial aid in any form to trickle down to us. We have and will continue to make excuses for him and defend him against his white critics. We will call his white critics racists because we know that can damage their livelihoods by doing so, although no real change will ever come from that pathetic, pointless and powerless tactic. It just provides a taste of revenge and that is what blacks want in modern America. Supporting Obama was never about change or vetting policies. It was and still is about getting symbolic racial revenge on whites for centuries of abuse at the hands of this system while many whites lived it up at our historical expense. Whites will not be hurt by an Obama presidency as much as blacks. Blacks and other Americans should stop quoting MLK if we have no intention of ever adhering to anything for which they stood. We all just got played…..again. , Regardless of who becomes president, the same thing will happen in 2012.

Voting: The voice of “election patriotism”

Every four years, and sometimes every two years, Americans fall for the same media ruse that voting can their lives. Nothing could be further from the truth. Pulling a lever is not democracy, especially when the votes can be stolen. I would put my record of speaking out up against any of these “election patriots”. I call them that because the entire expression of their patriotism revolves around voting for the lesser of two evils. The other 3.99 years they spend their lives consuming, making corporations richers and ignoring the plight of people in other countries. These people are the opposite of patriots. They are traitors to themselves, the country and the Constitution, which they have never read.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m no Cindy Sheehan but I do more than the average Joe the plumber or Joe six-pack. For one thing I read a lot and not from mainstream sources. That is one of the most important things toward having an informed citizenry but Americans are too busy digesting lies from the corporate media. When people organize locally they control their lives and voting at the federal level becomes almost meaningless. I think the bumper sticker I saw on the internet says it best: Think globally. Act locally. Most Americans do neither. They vote locally and that’s it. Voting for the lesser of two evils or as a gimmick just to see a black man get into the White House because you are angry about white racism is a vote for your own death, demise and destruction.

Nader wonders if Obama will be an “Uncle Tom”

I’m tired of the mainstream media only listening to Ralph Nader when he says something that can be misconstrued by blacks to be racist. Nader should know better but sometimes negative attention is better than none at all. Remember a few months ago when Nader criticized Obama. Well this time Nader said he wondered whether Obama would be an Uncle Tom. In truth Obama cannot be a historically accurate Uncle Tom because his ancestors are not the descendants of African slaves but in a metaphorical sense he already fits the bill.

Apparently people this country don’t understand the principle of causality very well. It goes like this. There is first a cause for something and then there is an effect. How did Obama get elected? White men’s money. That was the cause. What is the effect? The effect is he will have to pay them back in various ways including continued expansion of militarism at home and abroad, continuing them media blackout on 9/11 truth, etc. The list goes on and on and Obama knows this. He campaigned on fighting special interests and lobbyists but could have never gotten elected without them. I know what happens behind closed doors. What is sad is that Obama’s two daughters have to be raised in all this hypocrisy and used as a prop to keep people loyal to Obama regardless of the negative impact of his domestic and foreign policies.

Technically I suppose Obama is not an Uncle Tom because those black people usually serve the white man for free, belittling themselves and the entire black race in the process. They just want whites to like them and see them as the exception to other blacks and not the rule. They want a piece of white supremacy. Obama hasn’t really done that yet although he is the new black face of global white supremacy. What he has done is trade favors with the elite and their evil and corrupt corporations. That is more of a sellout than anything else. A better term for his behavior might be a “Benedict Arnold to blacks”. It is truly amazing to me how black folk think Obama can make fundamental change when he owes huge favors back to the powers that be.

The Religion of the NFL

It is quite possible in this country that there are more professional football worhsippers than there are actually devout Christians. Americans have a need to believe in something no matter how meaningless it actually is. Our government has been corrupted to the core and there are few decent role models in the world. We have nothing to believe in anymore except the lies we have been fed our entire lives. We hold onto these like Linus clenching his dear blanket, while we continue to suck our thumbs in pursuit of something to give meaning to the meaningless.

Enter the NFL. Does anyone wonder why most NFL regular season games are on Sunday. Well one reason is that most people are home on the weekend so they won’t miss it. Another is that Sunday is the day that active Christians go to church to perform their weekly ritualistic purging of sins. Forget about the sins of the government. We have to be forgiven for doing what feels good or what is instinctive. What better way to make money off football than to tie to religion? When Americans bow down to their god they are essentially bowing down to our government and everything else they feel powerless against.

Most religious people are fanatics. That is they will defend their religion to the death. NFL fans exhibit the same behavior. As if Americans weren’t already divided enough over race, gender, sexual preference and religion. Now we are also divided along NFL teams. The Cowboys are the arch enemies of the Redskins. Steeler fans hate Eagles fans. This is the corporatocracy at its peak efficacy. Every fiber of our mental being is manipulated for the sake of profit and control. Our negative energies and pack mentality are diverted onto the people we see everyday instead of the true enemies behind closed doors in multimillion dollar gated communities. We are sheeple. There is nothing wrong with a little escapism but Americans have turned professional football into a religion and it’s a mental illness.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m a Dallas fan but I don’t want a Redskin fan to die or suffer because one group of huge men I don’t even know and who make lot of money scored more points than another group of the same. I don’t get upset for days when my team loses. For me when it’s over it’s over. That’s normal. The players are in a win-win situation because they get paid regardless while the fans continue losing jobs while inflation spirals out of control. Americans are frustrated and the NFL serves as a physical and mental vent for being completely out of control of our lives. If we cannot get along with each other then we cannot organize against the global masters and that is exactly why they do it to us. They need us to run their corporations and buy their products, plain and simple. If we ever discovered the power of that and acted on it the reign of the corporate terror would come to an abrupt end. They would be dragged out into the street and mercilessly beaten into bloody pulps.

The elite are able to isolate people by promoting hyper-individualism but also are effective at forcing people into well organized cultish pockets. Christians, gays, Dallas fans, sushi lovers, etc. What we are is a collection of our individual preferences and each one of them is exploited to isolate us while at the same time making us feel part of a small, disadvantaged community. It is obviously a very effective technique.

People these days have more methods of communication than ever in the history of mankind and yet we have the fewest close friends. How can that be? Technology has stolen our humanity. I am not against technology mind you. It is  wonderful when used to enhance our lives but it is being used as a substitute for real human contact, relationships and community. It has overstepped its bounds but not by chance. This is all part of the global elite’s diabolical plans to destabilize society, one by one. Their goal is to make us all feel completely alone in the world so that these huge problems that plague us seem insurmountable. They’re actually right. Without coming together they are insurmounatable. The question is do we have the intestinal fortitude and mental acuity to stop wallowing in our sorrows and realize that we are all victims in this plan. Sounds like a conspiracy doesn’t it? It is, but it’s no theory.

The American Okeydoke

This system of generating wealth for corporations may seem complex to people who have been left behind in the digital divide but in reality it is actually quite simple. Americans are born into indoctrination whether we realize it or not. No one realizes it at the time because a child cannot conceive of such things normally. By the time the processis complete it is far too late for most Americans to undo the damage that has been done by schools, the media, their parents, politicians and themselves that have them bound to a system that is determined to exterminate them.

When we are born we know nothing of politics or corporations or the monetary system. Our first contact with any of them is probably through television where we are targeted by corporations for consumption of their toxic products whether it’s toys, toothpaste, fast food or what have you. Our next phase of indoctrination usually involved allowance. Our parents give us a small amount of money for performing various tasks around the house. This supposedly teaches us responsibility. I disagree. It really teaches you how to exchange labor for money. That is slavery.

By the time the tyke is in school he or she is well on their to becoming a brainwashed consumer. Public schools furthers the indoctrination by teaching the white supremacist, revisionist view of world history. Black achievements and contributions are minimized, marginalized or relegated to the historical dustbin. What black children get is lesson after lesson in how violent Malcolm X and the Black Panthers were and how Martin Luther King Jr was so much better because he was peaceful. This is exactly what a white society wants, black people espousing non-violence. I prefer to keep everything on the table. It goes without saying that white children are also damaged by this falsification of events. It is usually during this time that children are taught the Pledge of Allegiance. They don’t even know what it means but they know that anyone who doesn’t know it or say it is different from them. White children are already beginning to sense their special place in the world that has been created by the slaughter of people of color for centuries before them.

While the children are being indoctrinated via the public school system they are also most likely and concurrently being proselytyzed into theistic religion. Most parents are simply not mentally strong enough to breaks the bonds that were forced onto them as children so they simply pass it on to their own. That in fact is the norm. Most children do not have the option of exploring other religions or belief system. It is the parents’ way or the highway. That is usually not a bone of contention, however, since the parents’ religion will usually the be first one the child encounters. I can remember being forced out of bed every Sunday morning to go through the masochistic religion of weekly purging of sins. My mother would always say “The Lord took care of you all week. The least you could do is go to church for an hour or two.” I won’t even go into the apparent contradictions and outright falsehoods of that statement. Let’s just say that by the time teenagers finish, or drop out from, high school their mental proclivities has been thoroughly diminished and damaged by this nationalistic nonsense.

This is where the societal bifurcation begins. Those who do not go to college or even finish high school become society’s lower class or working class. They struggle to make ends meet. They often have children they cannot afford. They disproportionately suffer from drug and alcohol abuse. Their families are often unstable, etc. This goes across all races but white supremacy tells the forgotten whites that their enemy is people of color getting governmental benefits and not the old white men who run corporations.

Now that almost everyone, except perhaps those who went to private school or were raised by nonbelievers, has been indoctrinated to believe race is what matters and not class then the process of dividing and conquering us can begin. This is why the voting age is eighteen per the 26th amendment to the Constitution. This is also why we only have two parties in this country, one for poor whites and one for the rest. Poor whites and conservatives tend to see the world in terms in black and white. To them this is the greatest country on Earth and the good guys all the time. They see nonwhites in similar terms, as either all good or all bad, usually the latter. It is this type of thinking that traps them in a life of servitude to the elite.

Those who attend college fair better. Why? Because their skillsets are useful to corporations. What then happens is the more educated people often look down on their less educated friends and the less educated friends become spiteful, resentful and jealous of the material success of their more educated friends. This is class warfare. It is the dollar divide that sustains the duopoly in this country that ultimately benefits corporations and corporations alone. By allowing teenagers to vote politicians basically cement the divide. By blacking out third parties they are able to paint us as red vs blue when in fact it’s still rich vs poor. The middle class battles with the lower class over the crumbs from the rich. The middle class struggles for a little more and the lower class takes their anger out on whoever they can conveniently blame.

This cycle is exactly what is needed, coupled with rabid consumerism, to keep corporations thriving forever. Americans are gamed from the time they exit the birth canal. We are told that our leaders have been to Ivy League universities that have prepared them to lead the masses and make the critical decisions that must be made. In fact those so-called leaders are nothing but the next generation of the affluent who got into Harvard, Yale and the like because their parents either knew someone, paid someone or were alumni themselves. It has nothing to do with their ability to lead, their intelligence or anything that would suit them to hold the highest positions in this land. It is a farce, a lie and a direct attack on the self-esteem of a people who simply cannot afford to attend those universities. We internalize this as if the rich are just smarter and therefore deserve more than everyone else when in fact the truth is quite the opposite. Then we elect these bastards to run the country and they bend over backwards for corporations so they can get the return favor of campaign funds to keep getting re-elected. Career politicians, which is mostly what we have, are leeches. They are middle men between us and corporations. They lie to us like Obama to appease our feelings of insecurity, doubt and uncertainty and then turn and sign away our futures on the corporate dotted line. Wake up America. It is probably too late already.
