Maybe we’ve never been lied to at all. It’s in the constitution’s
deceptively democratic language and supporting literature such as the
Federalist papers and “oppositional” writings by Madison and Jefferson
and the gang. They all wanted to keep their property, they just couldn’t
agree on the most subtle, persuasive, game plan.
The country IS and has always been a democracy for Our Masters — rich,
propertied, white men. It is a democracy for THEM to this day,
regardless of what BuschCo, hired out by the real owners of America,
does to the rest of us. Our Masters will vote democratically on
corporate boards. Our Masters’ “public” servants will vote
democratically in Congress, each representative voting in accordance
with his/her affiliated corporate interest whose board democratically
selected him or her for office.
Our Masters will vote on when and where the next WAR will be, and THEY
will vote on when to finally withdraw any semblance of democracy from
the masses as surely as they’ll vote on how much sugar to pump into your
kid’s breakfast cereal. The masses never would have known (or cared
about) “democracy” in the first place if not for a few do-gooder
meddlers in the Courts and Congress rewriting the Constitution to
include, of all people, the PEOPLE.
Our Masters will be voting long after the 200 some odd year charade of
“electoral politics” has been shut down once and for all and “we the
people” are put back in our proper places, though mercifully, blacks
will merely be imprisoned and economically oppressed, not enslaved (i.e.
status quo). And women can pretend that they have “equal rights” as long
as no one gets uppity or bitchy. And the Indians or Native Nations or
whatever you call them? Well, as now as in the beginning: fuck ‘em.
The Bush legacy at Yale. Skull and Bones:
“Heard his Dad’s close to Nixon”
“Whose Dad isn’t?”
“Head of the CIA.”
“Ooh. Spook me out. My dad OWNS the CIA.”
Our Masters laughed at the few hundred grad-students and undergrads
studying at Yale due to intellectual predilections, hard work,
discipline, vigor, who would end up working for THEM and, of all people,
that CLOWN Bush, the cheerleader, “Gofer George” (”Georgie, gofer some
beer,” “Georgie, gofer some weed,” “Georgie, gofer some blow”).
As it was then, so it is today.
Our Masters played a Huge joke on America’s underclass (the other 90
percent of us) by democratically selecting “Gofer George,” Class Clown,
Buffoon extraordinaire, as “President”.
See, their whole plan was to wreck the government as it stood, for
militaristic and right-wing as it was, it just wasn’t aggressive enough
nor did it fulfill its function as The Masters’ Corporate Security
Agency.
THEY wanted to deal straight with the Military, always the most
faithful, straight-talking servants, far more disciplined and effective
than those fat, bloviating lawyers hired out as so-called
“legislators.”
THEY wanted the Government to carry out their financial, foreign and
domestic decisions, but because of the whole failure of the
Constitution, which makes it necessary to hire politicians, judges,
Presidents, who depend to some extent on the “people” to “elect” them so
there’s all those campaign fees and costly media empires to “persuade”
the people when it would be so much easier and CHEAPER to have one
servant class, the military, carry out all these ridiculously time
consuming AND EXPENSIVE operations. Including those long, boring,
outrageously wasteful “Supreme Court Decisions,” which could be handled
far more efficiently by a Military Tribunal.
But the Military, coming for the most part, from the people, has to be
convinced that it is doing “right.” The only way to get direct access is
to create such a situation of dire economic, international, ecological,
and medical necessity that the military HAS to come in and maintain
order under the (giggle) “command” of “President” Bush (”Gofer George”).
So, the key to legitimately wrecking the economy, shutting down the
government, and causing a dangerous international situation, is to place
the most incompetent boob (of the well-born, of course), who has fucked
up everything he’s ever attempted and in truth is far stupider than his
“scholarship” underlings at Yale.
The logic is simple, straightforward and impeccably devious: put the
sadistic, alcoholic, childish, fanatically uncompromising
anti-intellectual goofball, Gofer George, in the Presidency, and the
rest will follow…

A SPECIAL MESSAGE TO OUR READERS.
For over two years now, Thomas Paine’s Corner has been a powerful and unwavering voice for a courageous and badly needed agenda for change. We have consistently delivered hard-hitting and insightful commentary, polemics, and analysis in our persistent efforts to persuade, educate, and inspire, and serve as a discriminating but generous platform for voices from many points of view with one thing in common: their spiritual honesty and quality of thinking.
•
Aside from the caliber of its content, Thomas Paine’s Corner’s strength is that there are no advertisers or corporations to exercise de facto censorship or orchestrate our agenda. We aim to keep it that way and we need your help!

As a semi-autonomous section of the multi-faceted, thoroughly comprehensive, and highly prestigious Cyrano’s Journal Online, we share Cyrano’s passion for winning the battle of communications against systemic lies, an act which is essential to attaining social and environmental justice. To help us achieve that goal, Cyrano’s Journal, besides its regular editorial pages, intends to begin producing editorial videos to expose the lack of proper context, ahistoricalism, excessive over-emphasis on inane events, and outright lies the corporate media, and in particular television, present to you and your family as a steady diet of pernicious intellectual junk food. This will be an expensive under-taking and there will be no grants forthcoming from the likes of the American Enterprise Institute, the Coors or Heritage Foundation. You can be sure of that!

As Greek mythology has it, the powerful are frequently defeated by their own hubris, and that’s precisely what we are witnessing today. Our rotten-to-the-core, usurping plutocracy has become so overtly and arrogantly corrupt that our patience has now reached its generous limit, and the membrane of America’s collective consciousness is about to burst. This will result in a significant restructuring of our socioeconomic and political environments, we hope (and must make sure) for the better. Considering what is at stake in the world today, Cyrano’s Journal and Thomas Paine’s Corner want to accelerate the arrival of that new day, and its promise of a new, truly well organized, kind, and honest civilization.

Well put, and so true.
I didn’t know chimpee was the gofer but when I think about it it makes sense
Who are the Masters? Zionists, of course. Only Israel benefits from these endless Middle East wars. Iraq is the beginning. As we commit war-crimes in Baghdad, the US gov’t commits treason at home by opening mail, eliminating habeas corpus, using the judiciary to steal private lands, banning books like “America Deceived” from Amazon and Wikipedia, conducting warrantless wiretaps and engaging in illegal wars on behalf of AIPAC’s ‘money-men’. Soon, another US false-flag operation will occur (sinking of an Aircraft Carrier by Mossad) and the US will invade Iran.. Then we’ll invade Syria, then Saudi Arabia, then Lebanon (again) then ….

Great piece Adam, photo too. The slogan is somewhat verbose. How about:
Media’s Lying to you!
The US Government is Zionist Occupied Territory. The US presidency is soley based on cult-of-personality and the bought and paid Congress does the bidding for Israel first before it does anything for Americans.
Great commentary however by Engel. I suppose that the USA has been Imperialist and corrupt and bent on war from the day it was created in 1776. Naturally, Empires go mad before they fall and the US is certainly and deeply mad at this point.
Hold on, it will get bumpy!
New to this site and to posting so I should probably keep my opinion to myself but I’m finding it very difficult. I would just like to say that I hope Adam has done better in the past and will improve in the future. I would hate to think this was some of his best work.
