| Occupy Wall Street signifies America may be awakening to take back from corporations what the government has lost... our freedom. |
Anytime you ask a writer to put words on a page you are
asking that writer for answers. In the search for those answers the writer will
include his opinions. The writer cannot help it because the writer has a voice.
You hope that the writer will say things that others would like to hear to sell
ads for your advertiser’s. But what if others want to hear that corporate advertising
is intrusive, annoying, and often simple ploys to exploit people from their
money? This would be an article worthy message deserving of its readers. As a
corporatist, would with you publish it?
The problem with innovation in our society is the promise of
wealth offered to innovative people if they sell their creations to
corporations. Some people would call several million dollars a great sum of money.
But in fact is not wealth. Corporations drain our society of billions of
dollars every minute while simultaneously selling them items designed to cost
them billions more for services. One good example of this is Associated Content.
In our society corporations have become so powerful that our
flaccid, weak government no longer has any control to regulate them. Comcast
Corporation is running unopposed for monitoring, regulation and control of
everything we see and hear in the world around us. While other corporations seek
to monitor, regulate and control what we say under the guise of online content.
Sociologists, historians and economists speculate that our
society’s obsession with sports, reality television and junk food is due to an
increasing sense of apathy. Perhaps this is so. Perhaps it’s not more football,
Kim Kardashian and fast food that will fill this void growing in our society. Perhaps
what American society needs is revolution by force.
One benefit of this revolution by force is that it need not
be against our government. There hasn’t been a ruling government in America
for decades. The revolution is against the corporation to bring down the
structure and break it apart. The revolution is to ensure no one corporation ever
becomes so powerful that healthy competition is compromised at the expense of
the people.
In 1984, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ruled
that the Bell telephone company be
broken into separate companies. America
had a strong government and a strong leader. Today our government is impotent
as corporations are allowed to run rampant, bankrupting our society to increase
their own wealth. The people must decide for themselves whether they wish to
continue to be enslaved by corporations. There is no government in place to do
this for them.
In the book, The Lifecycle of Empires, the author
describes seven distinct stages before the inevitable collapse of any empire. America
is not an empire but a democracy with a Constitution that acknowledges the need
for revolution by any means necessary to protect the people. Empires in today’s
society describes corporations, not America .
In the book, the final stage before the collapse of an empire is decadence and
bloated wealth. Had you taken the time to read the articles you rejected you
may have figured this out on your own.
Anytime you ask a writer to put words on a page you are
asking that writer for answers. If those answers frighten you perhaps you’re in
the wrong business.
