Tens of millions of phone calls, indeed all the phone calls made by

US citizens, have been monitored by the government since 2001. This

is the largest data bank ever compiled in history and it involves

trillions upon trillions of conversations that have been illegally

monitored by this government, in service to the Corporatocracy that

runs our lives. The phone companies must answer for this invasion of

privacy and explain their willingness to violate the Constitutional

protections of the Fourth Amendment, along with the provisions of

1978 law governing spying of US citizens. Government says in one

breath that they are being selective, in the next breath they say

that all conversations of every American have been monitored. This

constitutes WAR upon all the citizens of the USA. This was meant to

be a secret war, until USA Today broke the story ­ now the government

and all the corporations that colluded in this vicious attack upon us

all, must be called to account in public for this crime!

 

The US is facing a cloak and dagger attack on all fronts by major

corporations that have held their hidden agendas for over a hundred

years. Corporate interests have been at stake in every war we've had

since the First World War and the Corporatocracy has been funding

both sides of all the major conflicts since about 1914. With this

latest revelation it is clear that the USA was the original target

all along. This is a war without principles or human values. It's

being waged to establish unilateral control over everyone and

everything and that needs to change!

 

It should be noted that on March 17, 2003 Bush hired " the former head

of the KGB (the secret police of the former Soviet Union), General

Yevgeni Primakov, " as a consultant to the US Department of Homeland

Security.

Primakov joined another Russian, Oleg Kalugin, KGB (Ret) with the

Department of State Security, also as a part of Homeland Security. On

January 1, 2005 Kalugin was replaced with the infamous and sinister

Silver Fox himself (his former CIA code name), Gen. Markus

Wolf. " Wolf was the head of the international intelligence gathering

arm (HVA) of East Germany's Ministry for State Security, or Stasi. "

This went a long way toward perfecting the spying and wiretapping of

the entire USA, and insured that Americans would become the next

victims of State Terrorism ala the USSR and Communist East Germany.

Corporate conspiracies were thwarted back when they were the Robber-

Barons: Back when there were no rights for women, for slaves, for

children, or for workers. There were rights but only for major

players that held nearly total power over all that worked for them.

There were Wildcat strikes, and a rebellion that was only deflected

when government intervened to create protections and perks for those

who had to work to live. Over the last four decades those protections

and guarantees have been systematically destroyed, so that Americans

are again virtually defenseless against the NEW Robber-Barons behind

their corporate shields.

 

The USA; began with a Mega-Holocaust against the native population

that lasted over 400 years and killed in excess of 50 million people.

There was also Mexico and the Philippines. All that blood and death

became the real foundation for this nation. These actions were each

supported by America's claim to " special considerations, " under

either " Manifest Destiny " or The Monroe Doctrine: each of which

claimed special rights for America. The rights to life or liberty for

those we slaughtered had no standing because American Colonial

aspirations were at stake: Very reminiscent of what is happening in

Palestine now. Fast forward to the latest unilaterally declared wars

and we can see that the whole project has moved from past wars on

others in this Hemisphere ­ to finally become what it always was ­ a

War upon the World!

 

With the illegal and unilateral war on Iraq, the excesses of war

itself have risen a thousand fold and have increased the elite's

ability to shatter laws at will to complete their power grab

unchallenged. The communications corporations that did the spying did

so eagerly, because it was part of how they fit into the overall

plan. In the last three to four decades, the US unleashed a new

series of wars throughout this Hemisphere, to strengthen American

diplomacy, by invasion and regime-change, by the casual use of death

squads, and by an ever-increasing perversion of national economies

that used the IMF and the World Bank ­ to destroy sovereignty

throughout the region. Under cover of 'The Cold War' and the

exaggeration of a Communist threat this was only practice ­ for what

was yet to come.

 

Many, if not all the American officials involved in the brutal

Hemispheric wars of the late 1970's and 80's ­ Iran-Contra, Nicaragua,

Honduras and El Salvador, the guns for drugs and the weapons for

Hostages fiasco's ­ resurfaced in this Bush administration, to direct

this War upon America. Those of us who fought in the Reagan years

first thought that those who were convicted were dead and buried

politically. Then under Bush II, the dead were resurrected to be

major players in the barbarity of the New World Order in Iraq, in

Palestine and in Afghanistan, and in all that is slated to follow.

This can be stopped if these retreads from the 1980's are barred from

government jobs and publicly investigated for what they've been doing

for Bush and the Corporatocracy.

 

This administration and its sponsors apparently need Special-Ops

people like Elliott Abrams to oversee Middle Eastern affairs, despite

his pleading guilty to a federal crime during the Reagan years. There

also was Otto Reich, accused of running an unlawful domestic

propaganda operation for Reagan; he was tapped as a special envoy.

Bush also recruited Adm. John Poindexter, convicted of various

federal crimes stemming from his service as national security adviser

to Reagan. Poindexter was chosen by Bush to head the controversial

Total Information Awareness data-mining project, an operation viewed

as so dangerous to privacy and civil liberties that it was formally

stopped by Congress. Most of the convictions obtained were overturned

by presidential pardons.

 

There was also John Negroponte, accused of shielding human-rights

violations. unlawfully supporting the Nicaraguan contras, and

overseeing death squads. After Negroponte's stint as ambassador to

the United Nations, Bush made him the director of national

intelligence. Likewise, then-White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales was

accused of writing the infamous " torture memo " that not only approved

of forms of torture but also suggested that the president could

violate federal law. Gonzales was later made attorney general. And

former CIA Director George Tenet was accused of the most serious

intelligence blunders of the century. It was Tenet who gave Bush the

excuse to invade Iraq by stating that the presence of weapons of mass

destruction was a " slam dunk. " Bush gave Tenet the prestigious

Presidential Medal of Freedom. And of course there are many more

including Oliver North and Richard Armitage, a former undersecretary

of Defense, and former assistant to Colin Powell, along with John

Bolten, Richard Pearle and a whole host of others. Reagan's polices

in Latin America were approaching major criminal charges and crimes

against humanity when Poppy Bush stepped in to pardoned the convicted

and seal the records.

 

When people of the United States gave up their citizenship to

become " consumers " - the stage was set for complete capitulation to

whatever might follow. The Corporatocracy is " successful " because

they are not bound by any need for self-responsibility, or the public

good ­ their only obligation is to profits, for the shareholders of

course. Corporations are private constructs with human privileges.

People have to face consequences for their actions, while

corporations only need worry about market share. Their solution to

staying profitable is to control the monopolies they created to

eliminate choice; so that whatever happens ­ the public must turn to

them and continue to buy whatever they are selling ­ the oil and gas

industry, medicine, insurance, drugs, or the communications acts that

have stolen the airwaves that " the people " owned ­ until the

Corporations turned them into Big-Brother Incorporated ­ personified!

 

This new revelation of massive spying on everyone in the country just

confirms the truth beneath the lies ­ read the financial particulars

in the Patriot Acts, as they pertain to what government can do with

your bank accounts. If they find " anything suspicious " in your life --

they can seize your bank accounts -- and there is nothing you can do

about it, because of National Security. This is why they want to tap

the phones of every American ­ so the government can build a profile

and then arrange for that to match whatever they want to charge you

with. The Corporatocracy has long-since become a law unto itself.

Now they've added their own private armies, inside the war zones;

without military or civilian oversight of their mercenary activities.

 

Private armies form the second largest component of troops in Iraq.

With this kind of corporate involvement on the ground, under cover

of 'security'; when there is a split between the military and private

corporate purposes under Bush ­ it's the corporate agenda that usually

wins. Non-responsible mercenaries do whatever they are told by those

who pay them. They wear US uniforms, but do not answer to military or

civilian authorities. Corporations also decide who they should ask

for help, with whatever they're interested in at the moment. Here's

one example from inside Iraq ­ specifically Abu Ghraib.

The Corporatocracy is raking in those hundreds of billions that are

being spent on the wars (6 billion a month now), and the

reconstruction that isn't, on the Gulf Coast here. They designed US

policies to ensure that their profits will never be interrupted, by

either wars or natural disasters. All that money in the secret, no-

bid, sole-source contracts, and virtually no responsibility for

anything that happens ­ no wonder they want the troops to stay. No

questions and no real investigations! They OWN the Congress, the

Department of Justice and the Courts, and they have a revolving-door

arrangement with the White House. The only way they lose is IF the

public brings down these sweetheart deals with those private

corporations, and imposes corporate responsibilities that could

revoke corporate charters and force the reorganization of their

corporations! Guilty executives should be banned from ever holding a

management position in any business ­ IF and after ­ they ever get out

of Folsom or Attica!

 

Ordinary people need to re-claim their citizenship and participate as

citizenship requires. Americans should downgrade 'consumerism' from

its position at the top of their lives to its real place well below

those considerations that are about freedom and life and real

possibilities in the world. The mayor of Salt Lake City said this:

Number=294615694 & view=collapsed & sb=5 & o=21 & part=

 

It may sound insane to suggest that people could leave themselves

open to enslavement by something as " American " as " consumerism: " That

might be the case, unless one looks at how employees of those

corporations are treated each and everyday. The evermore stringent

control over employees, job-security, wages, retirement, and health-

care, the list is long and includes monitoring not only of phone

calls but of the private lives of employees as well. But it's what

those corporations do that is where the real threat lies!

Corporations have been spending furiously to patent seeds and plants,

and trees around the world. They've undertaken plans to buy out local

farmers or force them off their land - to virtually gain control of

all the land and whatever can be done upon that land, from farming to

drilling to clear-cutting or grazing ­ it will be their choice. They

want to privatize the fresh water supply for the planet, while they

try to corner worldwide markets for energy in all its forms. Timber,

raw minerals of all kinds ­ nothing has escaped the greed of these

faceless entities that say they want to kill four billion people,

just to remake the world into something they can manage. For those

who doubt the role of corporations in controlling the American

public; have a look at this short piece of police footage from

Seattle ­ and think again about who is really preventing free-speech

and who indeed controls your rights!

This began with those who claimed a special status over all others in

the world. Whether that's the Jews today in Palestine or the

Americans with the " Manifest Destiny " they gave themselves so long

ago. It is more than possible that these views are only the by-

product of a mind-set: A partial view that sees and believes whatever

it wants, in order to 'create their own realities.' When

challenged 'special people' usually demand 'the right to create that

world they have envisioned for themselves.' What they won't tolerate

are all those laws and precepts that would create a world in which

there is a possibility; for love & life to co-exist with war & death.

Never-ending wars against a circumstance of terror can never be a

purpose for existence. We must find ways to learn to live together

once again ­ or most of us shall die alone ­ together.

 

Realizations of the oft-considered kind could lead to real control

over these wildly irresponsible corporations: The corporate shells

that we've allowed to rule our dreams, our lives and even our most

private thoughts must be destroyed by rules and regulations! People

must begin to re-examine the reasons, or lack thereof, for all this

death and open-ended war. People need to question how much of their

lives they really own ­ and how much of their lives they should give

to something as cold and brutal as the Corporatocracy; be that in

purchases from them, by way of products or services or in allegiances

given ­ either by force of need ­ or by willing cooperation. Every

aspect of these monstrous creations should be rethought. If that

happens then people will stand against the steel fist of corporate-

dictatorship that is so thinly veiled beneath the tattered shreds of

what was once a velvet glove that promised ­ a consumer's paradise ­ in

exchange, of course, for all else that might have ever mattered to

you. . .
