We Americans Are in Need of Deep Reflection and Soul Searching

These combined forces have usurped our representative democracy to serve for their exclusive benefit. We the people are mere pawns to be manipulated and used, fed propaganda and be disregarded. We are just another commodity to them, something to be packaged, marketed and sold and when used up discarded along with the rest of the trash.

Yet we are expected to vote and participate in an electoral process that has been rigged to ignore the will of the people but just serves the moneyed and special interests.

These interests have created the class warfare and polarization that roils the political waters setting right against left but which effectively diverts attention away from them, the plutocratic forces that control the political process. They are the malevolent perpetrators behind the scene who pick the candidates running for office who in turn present themselves as being in your corner (whether it is right or left) but their pleas are nothing more than a ruse and a ploy and a crafty calculation to get ones vote.

Those who sound the alarm to this crass manipulation by the plutocrats are treated with ridicule and disdain, dismissed and mocked as alarmists or fabulists or crazed nihilists or even traitors who hate America.

For we are in need of rebellion against these plutocratic forces who act in complete denial and disregard for the basic needs of people other than themselves.
