A New Year’s Resolution: Out Of The Box!

We’ve all always been ‘ boxed in’. Our rents and mortgages, higher than they should be, our too high cable and power bills, car payments … really a myriad of debts that box us into this empire. You see, it has all been orchestrated by not even the so called ‘ one percent’ . No, it becomes much finer than that with perhaps 1/10th of the 1 % that rules us all. As with the announcer on the 1960s Sci Fi show The Outer Limits: “We are controlling transmission…” so the very rich and powerful own our political system, our corporate world, our media and even, sadly, our revisionist history. They created the phony left vs. right paradigm, morphing it into this Red State vs. Blue State hogwash of Republican vs. Democrat claptrap. They needed a compliant media to go along so they only give credence (duh, air and print time) to journalists and pundits who play ball with the empire.
Big Oil and Big Gas rifle us with propaganda that we need higher prices to sustain our economy. They sell us the lie that fracking is safe. Big Pharma owns most of the mainstream medical profession, so it is easy to push drugs into our mouths over more natural and homeopathic treatments. The food we eat is not properly regulated by our government because, well, profit trumps public health and safety. In addition to forbidding cigarette smoking in restaurants, they should outlaw deep frying and saturated fats! You know they won’t, just like the empire will never voluntarily withdraw from our military presence worldwide, along with the phony so called ‘wars’ we engage in. Not good for business!
