War, economic collapse, and personal devastation await Americans no matter who they vote for – and what we should do instead.
A vote for Obama will bring war with Syria, Iran, and eventually Russia and China. The economy will continue to suffer in order to bolster the interests of off-shore corporate-financier interests, while the collective prospects of Americans continue to whither and blow away. A vote for Romney, however, will also bring war with Syria, Iran, and eventually Russia and China. The economy will also continue to suffer in order to bolster the interests of off-shore corporate-financier interests, while the collective prospects of Americans continue to whither and blow away. Why?
Because the White House is but a public relations front for the corporate-financier interests of Wall Street and London. A change of residence at the White House is no different than say, British Petroleum replacing its spokesman to superficially placate public opinion when in reality the exact same board of directors, overall agenda, and objectives remain firmly in place. Public perception then is managed by, not the primary motivation of, corporate-financier interests.
It is the absolute folly to believe that multi-billion dollar corporate-financier interests would subject their collective fate to the whims of the ignorant, uninformed, and essentially powerless voting masses every four years. Instead, what plays out every four years is theater designed to give the general public the illusion that they have some means of addressing their grievances without actually ever changing the prevailing balance of power in any meaningful way.
The foreign policy of both Obama and Romney is written by the exact same corporate-financier funded think-tanks that have written the script for America’s destiny for the last several decades.

A girl comes out the back door of the fast food joint where she works carrying a bag, headed for the dumpster. Part of what’s in the bag she throws. The bag and what’s left in it goes into one of the junks parked there in the back row, in the places set aside for employees. She grabs a couple quick, deep drags, then heads back inside. She’s a high school dropout–has to be, by her look. Probably got a kid, at home with grandma.
‘Rombama Vows Defense Spending Won’t Be Cut!’ Excuse me! Come again! Defense spending? Defense? How can they call it that?
Meanwhile, the grandma’s walking back home from Wall Mart, taking it slow, leaning heavy on her stick and carrying a small plastic bag. Looks like she’s got a bad hip. The kid’s alongside, pushing a busted-up two-wheel scooter, looking sweet–sweet, and so very innocent. Also, looks like she’s a crossblood.
I’m glad I live down in here, to be a part of this. Wouldn’t move out by the Country Club for all the money that’s out there.
