Dear World, We're Sorry!!!

Dear World, We're Sorry!!!

Dear World, We're sorry, We are doing our best but our country seems to be suffering from a severe case of oligarchy. There is no excuse for our slumber while the rich and powerful surreptitiously usurped our Government. All we can do now is apologize and promise to work very hard to take our Government back. Then, and only then, can we work on healing the damage we have let happen in the rest of the World? Please bear with us until we get our shit in one sock.

If it's any consolation we are screwing ourselves too. We are killing our own people by choosing asshole politicians who ignore, uselessly wring their hands, or actively promoting policies that redirect wealth, put record numbers of us in prison, profile and target segments of our population, and divide us using identity politics. We are suffering too. That's nothing compared to the millions of tons of bombs we drop and endless crates of weapons we ship that cause so much destruction and pain. It pales in comparison to the exploitation of the poor and powerless among you. Our pain is much less than we visit on you. We are aware of that but it is still deeply felt among some of us.

Please understand we see the problem now. That's the first step in solving it. We are awake now and we have begun our internal fight to affect the change we all need, us as well as you. Though it may seem like we are fighting for our own rights only at first, we assure you that's not the case. We are fighting for you too. We can't topple the establishment that oppresses you until we overturn the system that oppresses us.

Nothing epitomizes our problem more than our current election. The economic and political powers in our Country have put forth horrendous choices. I'm afraid that means things will get worse before they get better. On one hand, we have an outrageously bombastic caricature of a wannabe Mussolini. On the other, we have one of the more corrupt war loving puppets of the oligarchy we've seen in recent history. Neither will be good. Neither understands economics, be prepared for another disaster there. Both are a threat to peace and promote violence against you. That's the bad news.

The good news is the oligarchy has gone too far. To use a U.S. colloquialism, they overplayed their hand. Those of us who are awake now are waking up others. We will end the reign of the oligarchs and put people in power that will end everyone's suffering, yours as well as ours. We will end the exploitation of all of us. We will stop the endless Regime Change Interventionist wars. We will make our corporations and Government treat you and us more fairly. All we ask is that you give us a chance to fix the problems. We will do it and we will make it up to you all by leading you, The World, into a more prosperous and free era without the destructive Neoliberal ideas. [See: Neoliberalism Help Lead To The Decline In Democracy In America.]

We will not try to force our own vision of how others should be down their throats. We will allow the rest of you to choose your own destiny without the threat of our military bombing you until your societies break down. To those of you who we have hurt we will help you rebuild your communities and help you be what you want to be.

Again, we're sorry World. We are deeply embarrassed by our current state. We'll fix it which in turn will help all of us in the end. Just be patient for a few more years. We know that sucks but it's the best we can do. We assure you that while we clean our own house we will not idly allow our Oligarchs to continue to hurt you. That doesn't mean you are completely safe but we'll be fighting for you. We'll be insisting on peaceful solutions. If the oligarchs don't offer you peace then they will have no peace either.

The New World Of Corporate Feudalism History Does Repeat Itself

The New World Of Corporate Feudalism History Does Repeat Itself!

Feudalism is back! Feudalism was the dominant social system in medieval Europe, in which the nobility held lands from the Crown in exchange for military service, and vassals were in turn tenants of the nobles, while the peasants (villeins or serfs) were obliged to live on their lord's land and give him homage, labor, and a share of the produce, notionally in exchange for military protection. [See Source]

Feudalism has returned from its  grave with a vengeance. All one has to do is look at all the " Right to Work" states. Currently, 25 states and Guam have given workers a choice when it comes to union membership. Labor unions still operate in those states, but workers cannot be compelled to become members as a requirement of their job. Wisconsin became the 25th right-to-work state, with a bill that was signed into law on March 9, 2015.[See Source]

The Resurgence of Feudalism In America Is a Disaster In The Making.

People who work in "Right to Work" states make less money. They receive inadequate health benefits and they're more likely to die on the job. The supporters of this modern day form of Feudalism proclaim it will boost their state economies and rebuild the middle class. However, in reality, and there is a track record to fall back on since 1935 the exact opposite happens with these feudalistic labor laws. Right to work laws bring capitalism closer to its major goal of being unregulated. In turn, unregulated capitalism leads to massive levels of inequality. [See Article] The levels of inequality we are seeing now in America and a major focal point of the Sanders campaign mirrors the times of Feudalism in the European middle-ages. 

At the top, there is this very select few who in the middle ages represented the nobles and monarchs

of the day. In today's world, they are the one-percent Koch Brothers and they are in fact the present day monarchs of our times. Just below these Oligarchs are the so called professional class. Doctors, lawyers, CEO's, and some business owners. The main function of this group is to keep things running for the super-rich. They function as the nobles in a capitalist society. Then at the very bottom of the spectrum is this huge population of the working poor modern day peasants. Most have no real monetary wealth most are in debt most of their lives and barely can make ends meet living from paycheck to paycheck. In natural unregulated capitalism, there is no such thing as a middle-class.

What has become the default options to this modern day corporate feudalism is wealth inequality. This inequality has manifested itself as a direct result of deregulation propagated by the political establishments of both the Democratic and Republican parties. They both have played a part in the dismantling of the New Deal and a thriving middle class that resulted from it. [New Deal]

What we have before us today right now mirrors exactly what was the order of the day in medieval Europe under Feudalism.!

The only way a true middle class can emerge in today's world of unregulated capitalism is by massive social upheaval, or by government intervention. Historically our government [We the People] has been the only mechanism for keeping Feudalism in check. It's what we used here in the United States since the founding of our Republic until the Reagan Revolution to fight the Plutocrats and build a middle class from the ground up. 

Our government has used all of these mechanisms to restrain the natural tendency of unregulated capitalism that creates inequality: Tariffs, workers’ rights legislation, Glass-Stegall Act, and higher taxes on the rich. All of which, on balance, helped create the middle class. However; ever since Reagan and the Nazi-like brainwashing job he pulled on the American people - proclaiming government as the problem, not the solution - we have gutted regulation, busted up the unions and reverted capitalism back to its natural dog eat dog state. What has been the result? Record Inequality!

Now the richest three percent of the world population now controls half of all the wealth. "Middle-Class" incomes have become stagnant and if that is not bad enough the "child-poverty rate" in America is one of the worst in the entire developed world. Things have gotten worse since the "Bush Recession," and the Obama administration promise for "Hope and Change" never came. What gains that have appeared during the Obama years have been absorbed by guess who, the top one percent. So much for hope and change.

The Kings and Noblemen of the monarchs of medieval Europe may be long gone but in the here and now in the United States the Plutocrats and their corporate feudalism reign unmatched and corporate feudalism is the name of the game. We have Ronald Reagan and "Third-Way Democrats" to thank for it. What is the most severe side effect to all of this? The loss of our true democracy that has become nothing more than an Oligarchy? This new world corporate Feudalism is the image of the 14th century, not the 21st century which once again proves " History Does Repeat Itself In Politics."

President Jimmy Carter: The United States is an Oligarchy...

History Does Repeat Itself In Politics

Is there not this splendor that is Washington D.C. Just the bureaucratic vastness all " Inside the Beltway." Our nation's capital is a world within itself. Since the end of the second World War, it has grown to the point of being unrecognizable to the everyday citizen. The mere expense of government flabbergast people, and the number of people or functionaries that serve our state is inconceivable to most Americans. 

There are thousands of lawyers and lobbyist that call our nation capital their home and workplace. Congress has staff members that reach well over 35k. It's this sense of  vastness that have perpetuated  many Americans to have a negative view of Washington D.C. The various servants of government flatter, one another, blame one another, strike poses together, issue bills together, make announcements together, the list is endless.[See Source]

What has transpired from all this bureaucracy and vastness is an American government of Fascism, Oligarchy, and Plutocracy.

It is the view of the House of Public Discourse that we see a battle fully joined right now. One of this writer's main mantra's is that history does repeat itself in politics. Looking at our present political environment  we see echos of the 1800's and 1920's. The Koch Brothers have raised millions of dollars just two people with the help of about 300 other ultra rich Americans to essentially hijack our American democracy. Our research has found that what we see today was very similar to what was happening in America in 1799. During the John Adams presidency, we saw democracy giving way to the elites of that period and, of course, there was the " Alien and Sedition Act of 1798. 

A series of laws known collectively as the Alien and Sedition were passed by the Federalist Congress in 1798 and signed into law by President Adams. These laws included new powers to deport foreigners as well as making it harder for new immigrants to vote.[See Source] 


It's important to note that this elitist Act was duly overturned by the Thomas Jefferson Administration in the early 1800's. Thomas Jefferson and his political ideology were paramount in reversing the slide to Oligarchy back then, and boy do we need another Thomas Jefferson to reappear now in our governance. President Obama has done some but with not much success and his recent support of the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal has squashed whatever hopes of a true change candidate he proclaimed while running for office. 

We had another slide towards Oligarchy in the 1920's. Under the Harding Administration. Harding ran on the platform more business in government less government in business deregulate and privatize. Sound familiar? In 1920, they deregulated the banks. The Stock Market exploded and crashed promptly in 1929. Hence, the Great Depression. What is worth noting here is the Oligarch's had complete control of the economy and our government at the time just like right now in America. 

 History Does Repeat Itself In Politics Vice President Henry Wallace In 1945.

Today the Koch Brothers and their Oligarch buddies are the prime examples of spokespersons for monopoly and vested interest.To obtain this goal, Oligarchs must capture the political power that is and has been these factions primary objective throughout American history. In our world today this very same objective is being thrust upon us by the Oligarchs of today. History does repeat itself in politics, and by using the power of the State and the free markets in conjunction a few elitist can control the world today. And, what is the one thing that keeps them in check We The People?[Government] Government regulation is the one thing that can keep these Vulture Capitalists from destroying our democracy, our middle-class, and our air, river, and streams. By obtaining both the power of the markets and the state these factions can dictate to We The People whether we like it or not. In a phrase, they want us under their eternal subjection. 

After the 2014 mid-term election, Republicans gained more power in state legislatures than any other time in their parties history. This power goes back to the time of Lincoln. The GOP control 69 of 99 state chambers in the country. This control is more than any other time in American history. Our research here in the House of Public Discourse would submit to you because of the money influence that has been allowed free reign by legal proclamations like Citizen United, and  the all out attack on our civil rights to vote. You can track this behavior back to the Powell memo in 1971. 

Powell Memo Explained 

In 1980, David Koch ran for Vice-President on the Libertarian Party ticket and lost. Now, the Koch's and their billionaire buddies want just like  Oligarchs of past  to control everything. In fact, their money today has more power than any vice-president would ever have in a million years. So, what are these Oligarchs doing with this power today?  For starters, they have built think tanks for the promotion of  Plutocracy.

Plutocracy (from Greek πλοῦτος, ploutos, meaning "wealth", and κράτος, kratos, meaning "power, dominion, rule") or plutarchy, is a form of oligarchy and defines a society or a system ruled and dominated by the small minority of the wealthiest citizens. The first known use of the term was in 1652. Unlike systems such as democracy, capitalism, socialism or anarchism, plutocracy is not rooted in an established political philosophy. The concept of plutocracy may be advocated by the wealthy classes of a society in an indirect or surreptitious fashion though the term itself is almost always used in a pejorative sense.[See Source]

These goals by the billionaire class is a very real battle facing We The People.[Ordinary People] The future of our democracy is on the line. The future of the Unite States is on the line. Are we going to allow a select few billionaires to lord it over us or are we going to fight to save our middle class that made our country the real shining light on the hill? That's the question we need to answer in the coming 2016 election? Are we going to allow our country to sink back to the times of the 1920's that led to the Great Depression or are we going to rise and take back our country from the Oligarchs? Cause there is one thing you can be sure of: " History Does Repeat Itself In Politics."
