Ok I’ve been a little lazy but I’m almost done with the first chapter. It’s really amazing to see what we’ve evolved too financially in the last 1000 years, which is really not much. The ‘corporation’ was created for the illusion of ownership so monarchs and kings could rule over entire sectors of the economy and zap all the wealth from the citizens. So not only did the monarchs have control over the markets but they also controlled the law of the land, granting monopolies to companies it deemed fit. Even the people of the time were pissed, the king and his approved subjects would continue to get all the wealth why his subjects would suffer, lucky for us the same exact system is still used today!
I also saw that Faux Noise was complaining about how bad it was that Obama is trying to control the press (although I must admit, if Obama did control the media how did they get this message out!?!) but I actually feel like I kinda agree with them. Holding a ‘town hall’ meeting and only taking approved questions? Sounds like someone doesn’t want to talk about the 500 pound pink unicorn in the room that only the stoners can see. I’ve also subscribed to the white house’s blog via rss and it looks like nothing more than propaganda on a daily basis. Now don’t get me wrong, I didn’t expect them to start publishing war casualty numbers but even on some of the most critical days they have some of the silliest posts up. It’s like when they try to sell you ground up cow with a commercial about how happy life is, I have this funny feeling like what we see isn’t what we’re getting, or at the very least what we see isn’t reality. Maybe that’s just a bad feeling left over from the last administration, but from what I can tell Obama is ready and willing to advocate 100% for the federal reserve, so even if he won’t talk about marijuana he’s still not talking about anything else important.
I have tomorrow off work, I wouldn’t really expect a post all weekend. The 4th of July is Saturday so it’s time to celebrate our freedom by putting flames to explosives and blowing up a small chunk of our land. Yep.
