the Democrats' nominee for president is one of the major, most fabulously
reimbursed war criminals of our time, with nothing but contempt for the lives
and Democracies of those unprivileged persons who happen to lack European
ancestry, or abundant sources of funding, the world over. just ask the
Palestinians, the Hondurans, or the Haitians. she has promised to be more
dangerous than the Great S'Trumpet himself. her campaign staff actually carry
around her very own 'enemies' list. she counts Mubarak as a 'family friend'
and Kissinger as an inspiration. she is so keen on playing nuclear roulette
that she pulled the levers that led to the Nazi coup in the Ukraine. she's an
ardent supporter of the ethnic cleansing neo-gestapo, demonstrating the
latest in lethal technology on their captive civilians and representing, with
their mandated 'state-religion' theocracy, the only actual nuclear threat
(besides ourselves) to haunt the Middle East. without so much as batting
her gleaming eyes, she informs us that she finds the boycott of their
apartheid occupation "alarming." she convinced Bill to bomb Serbia,
and Obama to destroy Libya, for which untold numbers of North Africans
will suffer for many years to come.
i realize this doesn't matter to a lot of people, who consider themselves
"Americans" and are chiefly concerned with financial inequality here
in the stolen "Homeland." but i've never been able to believe in this
separation that walls us off from the rest of our family. artificial boundaries
are self defeating and stem from the most ancient propaganda, though
obviously, they are highly 'profitable.' and it seems to me that it is our
responsibility to give a voice to our nieces and nephews. the ones we
allow to be killed, in our name, every single day, and who, most assuredly
have no voice here, where a pompous and pious patriotism blinds its
clueless followers to a terror-soaked legacy that eclipses the seven deadly
plagues, and would embarrass Jehovah on one of his most self-absorbed,
decimatingly righteous days.
confining ourselves, then, to the land of the frightened, Hillary was a major
force behind Bill's decisions that led to the mushroom cloud of the U.S. prison
industry, filling up exponentially with citizens of color and those in dire need
of mental help. the divisive insults she added to that injury are still ringing
in many ears. she and her husband pioneered the new Democrats, with their
eagle-eyed, chameleon allegiance to pocket-lining puppeteers. she is the
heir apparent for the oligarchs, the clear choice of the Military Industrial
Complex, and the darling of Wall Street.
every four years we are told to pick the "lesser" evil. and the version of evil
that wins always claims to have our mandate. it goes without saying, in a
system like this, that evil never loses. evil never even blinks. every four
years the alternative in the carefully framed menu of the Powers that Own
is even more horrendous than the last time around, thus effectively gutting
the very concept of Democracy.
they tell us we may sleep in either of two rooms. one room is on fire while
the other, practical one is being filled with noxious gas. they demand that
we give our consent so they may call it "Democracy." a hollow word if ever
there was one. the very thing they claim to be "exporting" to the world
with their bombs and drones and coercion.
yet as Russell Brand points out to anyone who will listen, "we have more
in common with the people we are bombing than the people we are bombing
them for." one day we will have to stand up to the quadrennial popularity
contest and profitable media circus that covers for the complete absence
of OUR SAY in the POLICIES of this delusional for-by-and-of-the-people nation.
we'll have to rise up and say NO to the oligarchs. their zombie army of
(unelected) corporate operatives are destroying the planet faster than we
can comprehend. Hillary is in fact their chosen spokesperson. they would
not give her their money if they thought for one second that she might
disrupt the status quo that literally threatens life on earth. there's no time
like the present and absolutely no logic in putting it off. we must stop them
in their bloodied, well-heeled, apocalyptic tracks.
so if you must vote from fear, how's that? let the fear of a global meltdown
motivate you in a way that the consistent bludgeoning of manufactured
consent never could. vote for an actual decent human being who's not
afflicted with E.D.D. (Empathy Deficit Disorder), like Dr. Jill Stein, who's
already discussed dismantling NATO with Jeremy Corbyn, and peace
initiatives with the Russians. who selflessly offered to let Bernie run
above her on the Green Party ticket after Hillary's Democrat minions
displayed their disdain for Democracy. (i'm afraid it's quite revealing
that, given his powerful popularity at this decisive moment, he chose
to not even respond to this offer.)
failing this, you could follow Jose Saramago's advice and submit a blank ballot
as a conscious protest - the first step in a revolution that might actually, given
the power We the People hold within ourselves, 'take' the United States
FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME. (forward, not 'back.') into the long-suffering arms
of humanity, and out of the arms of indiscriminate death.
