In the last election 85% of the people in Congress got to keep
their $14,108 a month jobs (which
includes a $4,100 raise they just gave themselves!) despite the fact that it
was the worst, do-nothing Congress in history and the bulk of them were responsible
for authorizing the wars we're in and everything else that has massively eroded
our standard of living, security and of course our liberties and freedoms since
9-11. They ALL took an oath to defend and protect the Constitution and our Bill
of Rights. They did not take an oath to defend and protect their political
party and the interests of transnational corporations and cartels.
What would you do If you owned a company and none of your employees listened
to you, they lied to you, didn't do the jobs you gave them to do, and in fact,
were actually working for your competition and selling your company down the
river as fast as they could? I don't think you'd keep them on and give
them a raise!
Well, that's exactly what we've been doing, only in this case, your company is
our Federal Government, and your employees are the 435 members in the House of
Representatives and the 100 members of the Senate, virtually all of them working
for the transnational corporations (the competition) and they are engaged in
a massive hostile takeover of our government on every level.
What the heck happened to that thing called "the wisdom of the American
people?" You don't reward employees that betray you. YOU
FIRE THEM! It's the most obvious and immediate remedy. And you don't
worry that their replacement may turn out to be as bad. In fact, it's much
less likely the replacements will be as bad when they know you will not tolerate
such things, that you will not hesitate to fire anyone that lies and betrays
your trust. Employees are far more likely to toe the line and actually
do their jobs as best they can when they know they can't get away with anything
less.
Of course, no analogy is perfect. This one breaks down in the sense that
a company couldn't actually fire everyone all at once unless the entire company
shut down. Lucky for us, our Congress isn't engaged in actually producing
goods or services (the bureaucracies Congress has set up handle all government
services). All Congress does is enact laws and authorize spending. It's
just the legislative branch of government. We could easily go without any
new laws authored by "corporate/special interest" for quite some time. So
in this case, firing a large number of traitorous Congressional employees is
imminently doable and quite frankly is the only thing we can do to slam the brakes
on the corporate driven freight train that is railroading all of us into a nation
ruled by corporate colonialism.
There are people we have elected to Congress who have been there 10, 20, 30,
40, even over 50 years! Our Congress has been betraying our trust and selling
us out for generations. They not only suffer no consequences for what they've
done; they've benefited greatly from their wheeling and dealing. They take
an oath to protect our best interests and defend our rights as guaranteed by
the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and yet they make a mockery of that oath.
Republicans and Democrats take the exact same oath of office and very few of
them take it seriously.
I do solemnly swear (or affirm)
that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against
all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance
to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation
or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties
of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.
There
is a very good reason we make them all take this oath. Strict adherence
to the Constitution is the ONLY thing that makes it a LOT harder for those with
the most wealth to seize the powers of government and use it for their own selfish
purposes. Our Congress has totally abdicated their responsibilities and
handed the powers of government over to corporate interests that have absolutely
no allegiance to this nation, to the Constitution, and certainly not to playing
fair. Both major political parties are complicit. They have shredded
the Constitution and Bill of Rights and are about to blow the Constitutional
Confetti into the air as they celebrate "closing the deal" with their "real
employers," the transnational corporate interests that have orchestrated
the whole mess.
The dominant ideologies of the most destructive and powerful transnational corporations
are predatory and tyrannical in nature. The notion that they are even remotely
interested in such things as "free trade," or democracy flies in the
face of basic common sense. The corporations wreaking the most havoc on
this planet, the central banks, the military, medical, pharmaceutical, agricultural,
and energy industrial complexes, have set up monopolies and cartels by using
the powers of government to legislate and regulate the industries they wish to
control. The people inclined to abuse their wealth and power do what they
always have done throughout history. They TAKE the most, give the least,
and don't give a damn about the rest of humanity.
There is a mountain of evidence, a small fraction of it is posted on this web
site, to prove that powerful transnational corporations, through their control
of our election process, the legislative powers of government, the courts, the
international treaty process, the world's currencies and of course, virtually
total control of our mainstream media, have just about totally taken over our
country. If we don't take control of Congress away from them, and fast,
by a massive act of civil disobedience like this project is proposing (by not
voting the way they want us to), we are simply not going to survive as a nation
much longer the way things are going.
We can totally hijack the upcoming election and use the
power of our votes to effect sweeping change NOW!

We must start fixing
the mess we're all in
by first "doing what's necessary."
Our employees need to KNOW we will fire them
when they betray our trust.
