commentary: Politics of Poverty, who res-skews the rescueeeer

 don’t you just love it - i call it the politics of poverty - the poor have to bail out the rich - and the guy who ran one of the largest brooookerages is the guy who wanted 700 billion to play with no strings attached (3 page proposal) to bail out his cronies - the latest sweetened bailout is now 450 pages pure electioneering spin for the public soap opera - these guys in congress and big business and media are poor looooosers who want a bail out or else they will take the rest of us with them on their bumpy road to humpty dumpty meltdown land anyway - and just to refresh your memory these were the very same guys a few years ago who made it hard for the working folks to file for bankruptcy - there is more to this then meets the eye and why is this happening around election time i ask myself in you -  so who res-skews the rescueeeer

on the Politics of Poverty - there is a reason why there is so much poverty - “We the People” who make up this IdiotCracy/DemoCracy/Media-oh-Cracy on the backs of  the poor people the workers, the soldiers, the drones - we are like toilet paper - they use us up and throw us away - look at the people coming back from wars - the poor don’t want to be poor they not lazy they are some of the hardest workers around - they often work themselves to death and when i lived in brasil in 1992 people would work hard and at the end of the day would still not have made enough to feed their families - and with the price of this manufactured chaos of oil, food prices, banking meltdown its the poor around the world who feel it the most - this 700 billion buy out is also on the backs of the poor and the middle class if you haven’t figured out who the tax payers are - but the point is somebody benefits from poverty, war, violence, fear and its not “We the People” - it is said that the trade of kings was in war and propaganda - we have to stop pretending we are zombies and stop going along to get along -  and flap our mouths and wings and say what we know in our hearts - the power of one person is more then the power of none -

Thomas Jefferson knew very well that this was going to happen and wrote and spoke about it even on his death bed - he worried for us the children of the future

” We are to guard against ourselves; not against ourselves as we are, but as we may be; for who can imagine what we may become under circumstances not now imaginable - Thomas Jefferson to Jedidiah Morse 1822 ”

“I will not believe our labors are lost. I shall not die without a hope that light and liberty are on steady advance.” –Thomas Jefferson to John Adams, 1821

“We are bound, you, I, and every one to make common cause e even with error itself, to maintain the common right of freedom of conscience,” Thomas Jefferson to Edward Dowse, 1803

commentary: shelly palmer’s - end of broadcast tv

commentary: shelly palmer end of broadcast tv

hmmm shelly - i think we have to ask ourselves also who is wearing the emperor’s new clothes? - i think the traditional media - tv broadcasting world and governements and biz included have been believing in their own propaganda for so long they can’t believe it ain’t reality and now with the internet and broadband they don’t know what to do - today i read the outrageous amounts the media is getting from the election process its not a bottom line affair - we are re-inventing ourselves and we the people are taking back the future and what i think Thoreau said “we need to learn what we need to teach” and what i believe we need to learn from the so called social sculpture - social media movement is that the we vs them is fractured and that we are them and them are we and social media resonates with “we” as in we the people - the traditional goal keepers, gatekeepers goal is control while the “we” goal is engagement being involved, we the people get this intuitively - and so it’s not only the end of broadcast tv its traditional top down management by fear that is threatened

Winston Churchill once said, “The farther you look back, the further you can see into the future.”

“ We are to guard against ourselves; not against ourselves as we are, but as we may be; for who can imagine what we may become under circumstances not now imaginable - Thomas Jefferson to Jedidiah Morse 1822 ”
