Corporations push the politics of division. The uber wealthy they represent want the electorate fighting over every possible social issue that does not affect business as usual. What they don't want are the disenfranchised middle class conservatives voting with the disenfranchised poor in order to take both Houses and shut down the favors and perks for corporations. Most in the middle class don't speak out or fight because their kids work for one of the corporations and they don't want to injure their kids by becoming conspicuously outspoken.
So pro gun anti gun, pro abortion anti abortion, pro immigration anti immigration, pro church anti church, and now more militant groups on the right and left are pushed every day to keep that divide active.
From LBJ until today there has been a pro Fed and pro corporate agenda by government which has shut out mom & pop businesses and consolidated power permitting the courts to be packed with pro corporate pro Fed people. So we've had rulings on imminent domain that favor corporations, we've had the annuitizing of retirement accounts to allow large brokerage firms and banks to hold onto your principal and merely pay you interest off of your money thereby stealing the inheritance of your children, and now they want to go after firearms because they know someday you will catch on and they don't want to suffer your ire. So the extremes of division are really a tell, along with the election of Trump which indicates that people are starting to catch on.
Since the Kennedy assassination the national debt has grown from 205 million to 20 trillion. That's not an accident. RFK wanted to kill off the Federal Reserve in '63. Ike warned of the rise of the military industrial complex as the biggest post War threat to the country. Well the FED is backed by many of the largest American arms makers and by European and domestic banks.
The corporate agenda and the FED agenda go hand in hand. Now many of the corporations are part of larger conglomerates in which are corporations that own the media & TV networks. So we don't touch campaign finance reform because the major conglomerates donate large sums to both parties, recollect that money through their media outlets when campaign ads run, and price you and me out of being heard by our representatives because we can't touch (even as a group) the finances that are given them by the corporations.
So they drive up the cost of media, drive up the cost of elections, donate the funds to the candidates who will do their bidding regardless of party, recollect the money by charging for the ads through their media networks, and price the citizens out of the elections.
Only three presidents since JFK have not been backed by these groups: Carter, Reagan, and now Trump. Two were betrayed by members of their own parties in an effort to make them look foolish and the other got shot, and was refused the RNC's endorsement unless he took either H.W. Bush or Ford on as his running mate.
Why do you think so many Republican House and Senate members have remained silent while the witch hunt went on? It would hurt their pocket books if they didn't. And in the case of McCain and Ryan they were called upon to do even more, actively disrupt or attack Trump policies.
Attacking liberals and liberals attacking conservatives just plays into their game plan and ultimately disenfranchises both. It's simply time to temporarily join forces and clean out the RNC and DNC. Then we can go back to discussing what kind of economic plan best helps us all and getting rid of the politics of division as is currently being practiced by the corporate elite who don't want boys to grow into manhood with their natural tendencies intact, who don't want us to be armed, or even have any of our other rights intact like free speech, freedom of assembly and redress, freedom from unlawful search and seizure, and on and on.
Hate speech was raised to defeat freedom of dissent and speech. Hate crimes were enacted to be able to imply a motive in order to destroy a political target. Homeland security limited the amount of cash, and valuable items you can have on your person, in your home, or in a safe deposit box. If you are forced to keep all of value in cash in a bank then they have even more power over you. The same legislation said that if you kept more than $5,000 on your person, in your home, etc. you may be considered to be a terrorist.
What we are moving toward is a society that is under total surveillance, without means of travel without funds or passport, without rights to publicly speak against those who hold power, unarmed, with your children virtually forced to work within a corporate model where their contacts are on social media and are monitored and the workplace is electronically watched. If they are let go for any reason they will have little redress and their corporate black mark will follow them.
The only way that those who desire to do this can achieve their objectives is if they can keep us at each others throats. And yet both sides of this political divide wholeheartedly believe that their safety is wrapped up in the policies and politics of one party or the other and that their real enemy is their neighbor who disagrees.
The attack on the scouts is not so much a LGBT issue as it is the intentional destruction of an organization that instills integrity and encourages group activities and identity. Whether organized by a church, by a club or organization, or by school, any organized group that works in concert to instill values and integrity is a potential threat for no other reason than it unites people in a common agenda.
The desires to clamp down on the internet is what the Trump / Russia investigation really hoped to accomplish. Yes impeaching Trump was a big bonus, but they pulled Zuckerberg in so politics would have the smoking gun threat of external hacking to provide them with the right in the public's eyes to have oversight over this generations backyard fence.
So my friends one battle at a time. The first needs to be fought against those who ultimately seek to take our rights, the corporate / financial structure. Once we tackle that peacefully through the ballot then we can go back to fighting about conservative or liberal fiscal matters and adopt some sane approaches to social differences.
