We were looking for some links for a friend we we came upon this post we first put up in January of 2011. It did not have the exact info we were looking for. But it had more than enough for us to ask, "why are people fighting over politics when it has become so apparent that we have lost the country to the corporations?" It also had us asking ourselves, "Why are we still posting anything?" After all, as Xfiles use to say. "The truth is out there!" Unlike certain other truths however, you know like, it must be morning because I just woke up and the sun is peeking up on the eastern horizon, some truths are not so apparent. For instance, if me and some of my bros were gonna bust into your house some night and take everything you own, chances are we are not going to call you on the phone and tell you. It will only become a truth for you, AFTER IT HAS HAPPENED!So while we, by that we mean U.S. citizens, have been arguing over right and left and right and wrong, political parties and the virtues of one president over another, the thief that didn't call has been coming in the back door and taking our shit! Not that we weren't warned. The signs were there, but for the most part we did not look for them. We new things were FU'ed. We just figured if went about on our own way it would ignore us. Whoops. So anyway the following post and it's links are almost like reading about the here and now. So we figured what the hell, we will just repost and figure we have done our good deed for the day. Cause after all, so few read it the first time we doubt many others are gonna read it this time.
Why the General Electric, Obama connection is just the tip of the iceberg
In the councils of government we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. - Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1961Failure to read can be hazardous to your freedom!
