the new era...

in US politics a crossroads has arrived and a path has been chosen, by the legacy of the Bush Presidencies, a poisoning of the political waters. Corporations now have been given free rein, insulated by an oligarchy of philosophically allied front men. The most telling result of the Supreme Courts decision to destroy democracy and turn it into a brainwash...was Clarence Thomas' wife positioned so grandly in a group established just to defeat healthcare reform aspirations of poor Americans...the group was started with some seed investments- donations in the range of $500,000. No shortage of healthcare options for that start up. No one questions his neutrality-- no need to, his record of hostility to human rights, individual rights makes the vote to destroy democracy a mere part of a pattern. There was probably more difficulty for his wife to avoid the millions than to accept them...there were millions everywhere it seemed to defeat the effort to bring medical care to the sick and needy. A true American cause was born once again on the backs of her neediest and most defenseless... and like a video of billion dollar smart missile flying into a window sized target in Iraq...many rich people cheering. Now there are rich people and Corporation owners who wish to see democracy restored, but now it will cost them hundreds of millions to attempt to restore the balance of propaganda, and if democracy were the first victim hare, then truth is, and will be, the honored second...
epilogue:
it troubles me to think of children dying here from a lack of healthcare while a few hundred million is spent to stop a healthcare law that might save them. Stop it because Insurance Executives want to determine who gets healthcare, and how much, and for what price...I mean that is our money they are spending, it will be on our insurance bills for the rest of our insured lives... yes?
