For the love of money

 

Corporations are against "We The People".

It is my observation that the US Constitution was intended to empower the individual, and to regulate collective bodies. Within that regulation, the collective entities would be controlled, and the individual would have the maximum of freedom. Little by little, the politicians have whittled away at those controls, and are now completely out of control. Without the people's use of the powers that they have left remaining, there is no hope of ever getting back the freedom that is being crushed out of this country.

The way the politicians have done that is to put forth the notion that they are doing some public good, and so they get the people's consent. An example is the income tax. The income tax was illegal until the US Constitution was amended to allow an income tax to be collected. The excuse was that wealthy people were somehow abusing the public good, so the tax was intended to change that. But instead, it has allowed the government to become an agent of oppression. Without the funding that the income tax allows, the government has been able to grow beyond all bounds, and beyond all controls.

The government can now fund huge standing armies, which Brandon threatens to use as an oppression by the state against the people he serves- but what people? It funds the military industrial complex that Eisenhower warned about. It funds the goverment- corporate symbiote that Bongino talks about. Without such a huge source of money, which isn't even enough for them anymore, the vast runaway-out-of-control government cannot oppress its people out of existence. It seems that the people aren't wanted any more. What use have these people, if they can create machines that can do all the work needed? It replaces slavery. The machines are the slaves, so the slaves aren't needed. If the slaves aren't needed, then what is to be done with them?

When some folks get rich enough to think like that, some pretty bad things can start happening. If excess wealth was a problem a hundred years ago, then why is it any better now, when there is so much money? We may be on the verge of self-annihilation with a nuclear war. Why is this war so close to happening now? It would seem for the same reason that wars tend to get fought. It has its proximate cause as the love of money, and the power that money gives. Ukraine is a cash register for a lot of these folks. There's a lot of money at stake. So it is all about the money. It has always been about the money.

Money by itself isn't evil. It is the lust for money that leads men to do evil things. Money is just an inaminate object. Guns are the same way. It is what money represents, which the power over people, that is wanted. A gun can do that. Money can be a source of good, if good is intended. It can also be the source of evil, if that is what is intended. If the idea is to enslave people, or destroy people, then it must be evil by definition. It is what is in the heart that gives the evil result. Not the thing itself. A man or woman who kills people has something in their hearts that is bad, and this is what drives them to kill. The gun is just an object chosen for that purpose. If there were no guns, something else would be employed.

It has gotten to the point that corporations have abandoned any loyalty to the people who make it possible for them to exist. The vast wealth has gone to their heads. Now they try to run the government, as opposed to the government running them. The way that happens is that corporations can marshall a lot of that money power that politicians crave. That's the thing that brings the symbiote that Bongino talks about. Corporations keep politicians on the strings set up by money. Politicians can regulate corporations, but instead of serving the public good, they have become corrupted to serve the interests of corporations. Political candidate Robert Kennedy noted that phenomenon as well. There is enough of that now that anyone can see it. A blind man should be able to see it. Neither political party wants to upset the "donor base". They gotta have that money, so they have to dance to the tune given to them by the money powers.

So, they Constitution was written to enable and enpower the individual. Instead, it has become just so many words on a piece of paper. Nobody serving this government observes the "rule of law". They are ruled not by that, nor the people to which the Constitution was ordained to serve. Instead, We The People are becoming more and enslaved to the money power. The money power will make you do bad things, so this song is dedicated to the expression of that insight, so artistically expressed. Can you dig it?
