We and the Greeks, all in the same boat....don't be fooled

Powerful and sociopathic forces are running the world into the ground. That "whooshing" sound,

down the drain or down the crapper, which is the background noise for the angry, mass protests in Greece, can be heard in the U.S. and everywhere.

We don't think we have slavery in America, but to have a permanent, expanding bottom class which is imprisoned in a box of very limited opportunity is an enslavement. The Powers are taking away education and replacing education with prison. With the loss of education, comes political unawareness, which is exacerbated by our being too tired and busy to notice political moves, because we must have multiple jobs just to keep even.

Chris Hedges lays it out as only he can in this story: "We Are All Greeks Now." Reprinted in OpEd News, from truthdig.

Wish List of Research

1. Who makes money on war? And on military buying, protecting and occupying? Yeah, we already know, but let's audit this with excellent research that lays out who profited and continues to profit from our invasion and occupation of Iraq and Afganistan....or any other military activity and occupations, past or present. We have at least 823 foreign bases that the U.S. admits to; those are paid for by taxpayers, and the military bases are there principally to guard the oil for Exxon-Mobil. I believe we will find that taxpayers spend a huge amount on corporate welfare and subsidies to giant corporations, whose profits obviously are more important than the lives and limbs that are sacrificed in military actions. While we are at it, we should study who makes money from natural disasters, and how they get handed huge government contracts---in a no-bid rush, of course, since it is an emergency. There are capitalistic exploiters who feed off this as an industry; they are just not so long-established as what President Eisenhower called "the military-industrial complex."

2. Economic impact of legalizing use and sale of marijuana. There's another economic stimulus and revenue raiser. It would be regulated for safety and legal for individuals and small outfits to grow and sell. With the chance for broad participation, and the exclusion of monopolistic takeover of the market, many Americans would have the opportunity to be entrepreneurs.
