The Oligarchy – TRUTH IN POLITICS

The “Oligarch

A SHORT HISTORY OF REPUBLICAN ACCOMPLISHMENTS

SINS OF THE GOP OLIGARCHY

Supreme Court Justice John Roberts should be the last person to commit crimes against the Constitution! He took the “Oath of Office” and proceeded to commit a VERY political act of terrorism. He lead the Supreme Court decision to unfairly allow Corporations to act as individuals for the purpose of campaign financing. This gives CEO s and Corporate Board members three to six times the number of contributions as the average citizen. They can make Personal donations, Corporate contributions to each candidate they are supporting. Then they can make personal and corporate contributions to each Political Party they support, Then they can make personal and corporate contributions to each Super Pack. Plus they can create Super Packs on behalf of themselves and their businesses. The average citizen has no where near enough money to compete fairly!!

Next He Personally cast the deciding vote on the National Version of ROMNEY CARE. You might ask “Hey, he supported OBAMA CARE didn’t he? Wasn’t that a magnanimous thing to do?”. On the surface YES. But lets look a little deeper. This allowed Supreme Court Justice John Roberts to determine that ROMNEY CARE is a TAX not a insurance premium. This allows the GOP to assert that President broke His Promise to not raise taxes on the middle class! Could Supreme Court Justice John Roberts decision have been POLITICALLY MOTIVATED??? I THINK MAYBE SO!!! The GOP have used his decision in exactly this way!! They hoped this would give Romney enough ammunition to defeat President Obama, then the GOP could repeal the National Version of ROMNEY CARE.

President Richard Nixon started a “5 Point Plan” for the Republican Party which I will identify as the GOP for the rest of this narrative. What the GOP has done with parts this list is nothing short of criminal and treasonous:

1) NORMALIZE RELATIONS WITH CHINA.

2) MARGINALIZE UNIONS OR GET RID OF THEM ALTOGETHER.

3) BRING WORKING CLASS WAGES IN THE U.S.A. MORE IN LINE WITH THE WORLD

4) MODIFY BANKING AND FINANCE RULES AND REGULATIONS

5) TRY TO BRING ORGANIZED CRIME OUT OF CRIMINALITY AND INTO LEGAL BUSINESS

RESULTS:

1) The China policy was a good (?) and necessary pursuit and has been largely accomplished.

2) Unions are probably the number ONE reason for the prosperity enjoyed by America from the end of WWII. They brought people out of abject poverty and into what we now call “The Middle Class”. Our Union forefathers (brothers and sisters) fought hard, ugly battles to gain the many privileges we enjoy today. Union, nonunion, and Managers all enjoy the labors of our brave Union Pioneers. Unions are now weak and Unionism is at the lowest point since its inception. When President Reagan fired the air traffic controllers unionism took a BIG hit. I’ve never never figured out what changed but something sure did. “We The People” of this Great Nation need to stand up for ourselves, our future and our past and take back our heritage.

3) Corporate America have been forcing wages lower since about 1980. (By the way, How can you tell the difference between a “business man” and a “republication”? You can’t. About 85% of the time they are the same person.) They have been forcing wages lower by closing union shops and reopening as non union, forcing changes in union contracts by threat of the previous method. Unions are, to be fair, responsible for some of the backlash generated against unions. In Pueblo Colorado, C.F.&I Steel closed it’s doors because of the outlandish union contract that had built up over the many years. Among the many benefits negotiated was that every seven years each employee would get six months paid vacation on top of the five weeks paid vacation for the other six years. Top hourly wages in 1970 were about $26.00 per hour. The steel plant reopened about seven years later and some of those who were fired still had not found a steady job and were happy to hire on at about $7.00 per hour.

Under the guidance of the “Chaney – Rove Presidency” taxes were cut for the rich and corporations, trade laws modified to make it easier and more profitable to move businesses overseas. They literally opened our borders for unrestricted migration for whoever wanted to come to the United States. Our Country was flooded with illegal immigrants. Republican owned businesses fired fast food workers, warehouse laborers, packing plant (both meat and vegetable) workers, hotel/motel maids, construction laborers (both skilled and non-skilled), and many others with this ill-gotten labor pool putting millions of taxpaying workers out on the street, of whom, many lost their housing and retirement savings and more.

(RE: Division of wealth

When the confluence of NAFTA, the 2000 invasion of Illegals from the south, and the Bush-Cheney-Rove tax breaks occurred, if you add the cumulative effect, these changes negatively affected the Black communities by (I estimate something like 180% and up) over what was then middle to upper class White Christians. The reasoning? Illegals pushed Blacks out of their jobs and traditional Black communities while Whites gained unprecedented profits of ( 100% to 1000%) between lower wages paid to Illegals, tax brakes and increased NAFTA led profits!)

The implementation of NAFTA, the 2000 invasion of Illegals from the south, and the Bush-Cheney-Rove tax breaks, the cumulative effect of these changes weighed heavily on Low-Income communities, factory workers, and all general labor and lead to unprecedented layoffs for working class Americans while creating record profits for both small businesses and, especially, for large and international corporations. This country is now built to operate around this model.

During the “Chaney – Rove Presidency” businesses would manufacture and ship more than they were selling, especially leading up to an election, to make the GNP look better to the Voters. I personally witnessed this driving an 18 wheeler delivering merchandise for a large retail chain. I was delivering to a small outlet in a small southern Colorado town and there were five garden tractors for that store. The manager came out, looked at the bill-of-lading and said “ What do they expect me to do with all these tractors? We do not sell that many in a year. Look at my storage area! I’ve got to call and see if i can refuse these.” There were twelve garden tractors, UN-boxed, stacked in his relative small storage area. “They” made him take delivery!

More. Leading up to the 2008 election as soon as it was clear that Barack Obama was going to win the Presidency Republican businesses started closing their doors and moving overseas. There was a literal avalanche of businesses moving out of America. I believe this was a two point plan, first – force wages lower, second – make the economy SO BAD that President Obama would not be able to dig his way out in four years or maybe even eight years. Further proof of this is the total obstructionism followed by the republican party during to date.

On top of that add the totally negative media campaign the Republican party and conservative TV and radio talk shows that pound our ears with 24 hours a day 7 days a week! They have kept up a literal brainwashing of any one who listens to them for six + years now. Have you noticed how the only “green” companies that have gone bankrupt are those the got government guaranteed loans? Is there more to this than meets the eye? The GOP said it would do whatever it takes to make sure President Obama is a one term president. Their hatred seems to have no bounds. It seems they are willing to bankrupt Our Nation, Our Constitution, Our very lives, to achieve their goal of total financial dominion over America.

MONEY IS POWER! How far beyond our borders do they strive for dominion. By the GOP’s actions and words it is “OUR WAY OR THE HIGHWAY”!! During “Chaney – Rove Presidency” they would not negotiate with the democrats for the SIX years they controlled the Presidency and both houses of congress and for the last two years of the “Chaney – Rove Presidency” after Democrats gained control of the House of Representatives the GOP blocked every piece of legislation they could to keep job growth down.

4) Banking and Financing : After the Great Depression Congress wrote legislation that created watchdog groups to regulate Banking and Financing. This system worked very well until the Nixon, Reagan,and “Chaney – Rove Presidencies” virtually decimated those rules. When President Reagan changed the banking laws, Someone had a great idea! They lobbied for it, got it put it into the new banking and financing bill. After it was law they executed their plan. It involved giving the head of each “Savings and Loan” office total power over which loans would be approved and which ones not. It turned out that Republican investors who wanted to “develop a piece of property” got loans for the full development cost of the entire project. Often multiple millions of dollars. Not too bad so far, right? The problem came when payments came due none were made! When the property was foreclosed on there were no signs of development! When they went after the corporation the loan was given to it had ceased to exist or gone bankrupt. Millions of Americans lost their retirement savings and other moneys they had invested with “THE SAFEST INVESTMENT” company in America!!!! When Bill and Hillary Clinton applied for one of these gift loans they were turned down. They were not part of the “in” crowd! Bill and Hillary were later to “thank their lucky stars” for that. After Bill was fairly and legally elected President and Ken Starr went on his eight year witch hunt harassing the Clinton’s and all their friends. The GOP knew even before Ken Starr started the investigation that the Clintons were innocent because they already had the paperwork from their loan request that was turned down. (SIDELIGHT : The Special Prosecutor position as it was commissioned at that time had NO boundaries! Ken Starr was a literal god! He was above the Constitution and all federal and state laws! Ken Starr spent hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on a witch hunt! The story does not end here though. I 100% believe history will prove the following hypothesis correct.

The witch hunt was just a cover for the real purpose of Ken Starr’s excesses. Toward the end of Clinton’s Presidency the GOP leaders said “Hey this special prosecutor position as it is has way too much power. We need to put some controls of any future prosecutor.” The GOP had plans to install one of their own as president at the next election. They had plans of what they wanted to accomplish and wanted to make sure no special prosecutor would be able to interrupt “their” plan. We all were first hand witnesses to their runaway excesses in changing any law or rule that would increase profits for Corporations, Investors, banks,real-estate moguls ,etc. Credit card companies started acting more like loan sharks than legal lenders. As proven throughout the “Bush – Cheney – Rove Administration” the GOP acted more like thugs than elected officials. End of SIDELIGHT).

More.

Not this county nor any other country can long survive without a strong healthy business community. When the “Bush – Chaney – Rove Presidency” was in the throes of its reign and their self made depression was starting to avalanche they went to Financial Secretary Paulsen and said “ What can we do to fix this?”. His answer was “How about a Government Bailout? Give me $850 million dollars and I will try to fix it”. Democrats in Congress said hold on! how about some accountability here. Chaney & Paulsen said there isn’t time for such foolishness and gave Paulsen about $350 billion! Immediately, that money disappeared and there was no way to trace where it went, or who got it! POOF it was gone! That “investment” seemed to make NO headway in stemming the tide toward financial Armageddon for the USA. Paulsen came back again with outstretched hands and said give me more I can’t help if I don’t have more! Democrats in Congress and then Senator Obama said WAIT A MINUTE. Quick Congressional action then put some rules on any other bailout money and Paulsen was replaced. Still much of the second round of bailout money went to increasing the size of the major banks and centralizing power in the financial sector. After Senator Obama was sworn in as President, the GOP OLIGARCHY vowed to do “WHATEVER IT TAKES” to ensure President Obama “IS A ONE TERM PRESIDENT”!!!! Much of what they have done involves doing the maximum to delay the financial recovery from the “recession” they and their policies instituted. They continue to this day to close businesses and lay off workers to keep the unemployment levels high. The only label I can think of to describe the GOP Oligarchy is “TRAITOR”! All those GOP Congress men/women took the “Oath of Office” and swore to uphold the Constitution of the United States Of America and all She stands for! What they did was anything and everything but that! The central power of the GOP Oligarchy is the very very Rich Powerful People and Conservative Christians. The GOP is in no way Democratic or even Republic in their structure. What they are is greedy capitalist ego manics bent on remaking America to what ever idol they are worshiping. Is it themselves? Or maybe just $$$$$? What the GOP is doing is most certainly not Christian! Christ most certainly does not represent the INHUMANE policies of the GOP henchmen that knowingly duped financially unsophisticated people into taking out home mortgage loans they could not afford. Christ would not approve business professionals who close their doors and move out of the USA to increase profits and wreak havoc on the Country they SO LOVE! How any good, bad, or even indifferent Christian could in any way support the GOP or virtually any GOP candidate I have absolutely no idea!!! BUT! They go blindly following the GOP Pied Piper never questioning, never challenging their Masters. The GOP should rename itself the “Grand Old Christian Party” ! Or the “RUBICON PARTY” (the “party of no return”).

5) This Organized Crime category is much more nebulous. Because of it’s very nature this took place out of the view of public scrutiny. If it took place, and I am absolutely convinced it did, it was a kind of patchwork endeavor with a success rate of ZERO to 50%. What I believe happened is that the Italian Mafia and smaller crime units were put at least mostly out of business while the Irish Mafia kind of morphed in with some very large businesses and banks. Organized crime never went out of business but it did make inroads into legitimate business and government. I have talked to many people about this and every single one said something like “I believe it! I see SO much corruption in our government!”. There are no solid examples I can list. During and/or after Nixon I saw the Funeral Home industry get taken over by nationwide enterprises within a period of two or three years. I saw La Quinta Motor Inns open between one and three locations in all the major cities across America in a period of two years, and continue building more for several years after. This took a TON of $CASH$!! Where did it come from??? Other than that we listen to the news and hear about things that do not add up right. I do not have the education, sophistication, or power to investigate this properly. Everyone knows it’s there! I hope somebody will take this and run with it.

Federalist Society

{The following was copied from an “Right Web” article on the “Federalist Society”. There is much more information there. }

“[ “Established in 1982 by a small clique of conservative law students and lawyers based at the University of Chicago, Yale, and Harvard, the Federalist Society has grown into one of the country’s most powerful legal associations. “In the 1980s and 1990s, the society [became] central casting for the biggest names in Washington’s ideological wars—Robert Bork, Clarence Thomas, Kenneth Starr,” wrote Nina Easton, author of the Gang of Five. As of late 2006, according to the Washington Post, the organization boasted a $7 million budget with funding from foundations, individuals, and corporations, and “claims about 40,000 members and associates, student chapters on all 180 or so law school campuses, and 70 more chapters for lawyers and judges.” ……

“In addition to its annual lawyers conventions, student division, and many publications, the Federalist Society also runs a program called NGO Watch in conjunction with the American Enterprise Institute. Ralph Nader has criticized NGO Watch and AEI: “During the past 22 years, the AEI, their nearby corporate patrons, their allied trade associations and corporate think tanks have, in effect, taken over the executive branch, the Congress, and promoted the judgeships of right-wing corporate lawyers . What’s left to do? How to keep its corporate supremacists writing those big checks? Why, go after the liberal or progressive nongovernmental associations, Describe them as a collage of Goliaths running an all-points wrecking machine over government and business.” ]

The IPA

[The Institute of Public Affairs (IPA) is a public policy think tank based in Melbourne, Australia. It advocates free market economic policies such as privatization and deregulation of state-owned enterprises, trade liberalization and deregulated workplaces, climate change skepticism, the abolition of the minimum wage, the repeal of parts of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975. In its own words, the Institute believes in “the free market of ideas; the free flow of capital, a limited and efficient government, the rule of law, and representative democracy.]”

RE: Democracy and the Republican Party :

If you truly believe in democracy – you cannot be a Republican. The Republican Party operates like an Oligarchy/Totalitarian organization. They are supposed to be representatives of “We the People”.This type of centralized control does not and cannot mesh with our Democracy/Republic form of Government. Republicans en-mass taking an oath to “not raise taxes” has no place in a democracy and I, for one, sure as heck did not give them permission to take that divisive, totalitarian oath.

How now brown cow

Again the nomination of our Presidential Candidates have been picked by the Oligarchy. How? By controlling both Parties, the caucus and primary process, and the radio, television, and print media. By controlling the reporting, placing adds on TV, radio, and internet – the rhetoric, what stories are buried and which are printed, ETC.

RE: A loaded theory on election conspiracy :

Hmmm… Maybe we could look a little closer at Bush’s “win” over Al Gore? How did that turn out for “We the People”? How many times have you heard some million/billionaire brag about how they donate heavily to both candidates/parties? Looks innocent? These people have a minimum of eight times more input to the election process than ordinary people. Then we realize these powerful people are effectively if not factually an oligarchy. They have undue influence in all levels of government and control all forms of the media. Don’t even try to lie to me about that! They set Trump up by giving him free twenty four hour favorable coverage during the primary then turned on him after giving him no favorable coverage after the conventions! They don’t have to control elections! They control who we can vote for!

y” is made up of many individuals, corporations, secret societies (such as the Federalist Society, Masons, ETC). There are also players from Europe and many more places world wide.

Oligarchy

People lament about the corruption in our government – in truth – this corruption is born out of the quest for power , wealth and influence ( control over others ) that comes through business and religious leadership and organized crime. Other forms of corruption come from those who choose to live outside the law and those who are unable to overcome social and commercial bias, such as laws that favor or impede certain individuals, businesses, ethnic groups, etc. outside of government.

Note:

Capitalism thrives by exploiting of the Natural Resources of it’s environment ! The more brutal the Capitalist the more successful! Natural Resources include not only material products, but, people also !
