How to tell if your TEA Party or Occupy group has been usurped (Part 1 of 2)

4:47 pm in Uncategorized by Don Mashak

How to tell if your grassroots TEA Party or Occupy group has been usurped by a major political party (Part 1 of 2)

USURP
1. To seize power from another, usually by illegitimate means.
2. To use and assume the coat of arms of another person.

As the election nears, certain alleged and true grassroots political
organizations will soon become prevalent in the major media. As a result of this renewed media attention, many folks will renew their
affiliation with, or contemplate joining, a TEA Party or Occupy group.

Many of these folks will be getting involved in politics for the first
time in their lives. As political rookies, these folks may benefit from
the advice of more seasoned citizens, such as this writer, in navigating the plethora of political shell games the establishment of both political parties play.

One of those political shell games involves grassroots political organizations that appear to be true,
independent grassroots groups but which are actually are Trojan Horses (Astroturf) usurped by one political party or another. Rumors and allegations of this sort abound about both the TEA Party and the Occupy Movements. The conflicting rumors, allegations, duplicity and propaganda can be overwhelming, especially to a new comer to the political game.

In the first part of this two part article, we will provide you with a list of 25 easy questions to ask yourself about your current or prospective grassroots group. In part two of this article, we will suggest to you how to assess if your own answers about your particular grassroots group indicates whether or not it has been usurped by one of the major political parties.

This writer provides this tool for his fellow citizens to use, because your time is valuable and in short
supply.

This writer does not want you wasting your precious time because you are misled into joining and supporting an alleged grassroots organization that is not what it portends to be.

In this writers attempts to divine the truth from the propaganda, he has arrived at the following perspective.

In as much as it possible for this writer to discern, on the National and State Levels, both the Occupy and TEA Party Movements have been usurped by 1 of the major political parties. The National and State Level Occupy movements seemed to have been usurped by the Democrat party (primarily progressives) and the National and State Level TEA Party movement seems to have been usurped by the Republican
Party [e.g. Congressional TEA Party Caucus].

But the local, true grassroots TEA Party and occupy organizations run the gamut from fiercely independent true grassroots groups to merely extensions of 1 of the 2 major political parties. Yet, this writer deems the truly independent grassroots local political organizations as the most effective units of anti-status quo political organization and the place where an individual can have the maximum impact on the agenda and goals of the group.

With the duplicity of the political establishment and the complexity of this social and political dynamic in mind, this questionnaire is drafted to allow anyone to objectively determine if their preferred grassroots political group is a truly independent grassroots organization or simply a Trojan Horse cheer leading squad for one of the two major political parties.
Here goes:

Has your group been in existence for more than a year, with no real
elections in which others were encouraged to run for leadership
positions? Is the ballot counting process transparent? Is the founder or
leader closely associated as major “player” in a political party?

Ron Paul – Texan Vote’m: After kicking the tires, this voter is “All In”

7:50 pm in Uncategorized by Don Mashak

PROLOGUE

Quite simply, we are going to have some fun exposing the “Con Job” that our American elections have become. Together we are going to make common sense out of the deliberate confusion that the 2 major political parties and major media have created around previous elections. By the end of our conversation, you should realize that you should simply cast your vote in accordance with your own “best interests”. Hopefully, you will realize that this is less my endorsement of Ron Paul than it is your very own endorsement of Ron Paul. And we will accomplish all of this in 12 fun and easily understood sections:

1) “All In”?;
2) Prologue;
3) Donald Trump Endorsement;
4) Donald Trump, The Used Car Salesman;
5) Whose decision should you value in making your voting decision?;
6) Counter-Intuitive Tire Kicking;
7) Demonizing and Discrediting the voices of dissent;
No perfect Candidate;
9) Jobs, Jobs, Jobs;
10) The Man in the Arena;
11) Settling on a Candidate;
12) I’m All-in!

2) “ALL IN”?

In the card game, Texas Hold’em, “all in” refers to betting the last of your chips/money. http://bit.ly/w5ukXM “All in” is most often invoked by a player who has been on a losing streak and has depleted most of their resources. When a good hand has finally been dealt and the odds indicate it is likely winner the player declares “All In” and bets all of their remaining chips.

This scenario seems to be an apt analogy for the situation we voters find ourselves in this 2012 election. But before I continue with that analogy, let’s talk a little bit about Donald Trump.

Article Continues below almost universal translator]

3) DONALD TRUMP’s ENDORSEMENT

Recently I heard that Donald Trump was endorsing Mitt Romney. And I thought to myself, so what? Donald Trump is most likely going to endorse a candidate that embraces the concerns of millionaires and reality show executives. I am neither a millionaire nor a reality show executive. So, why do I care who Donald Trump endorses? Donald Trump, as far as I am concerned, you and your endorsement are fired!

But for some reason, the major media considers Donald Trump’s endorsement newsworthy. Perhaps the major media thinks this next presidential election should be like a Junior High Student Council election – A simple popularity contest with few consequences for choosing poorly? I don’t share that perspective.

And then I thought; perhaps the major media and the political parties have framed and confused the elections in such a way that the candidate a person should select to vote for is not obvious. Perhaps the average American is not aware that the propaganda techniques of Edward Bernays are being used upon them to subvert their individual will? (I often advise my fellow citizens that they can’t protect themselves, their perspective of reality nor their family from our Government if they don’t know about Edward Bernays http://bit.ly/nY9BjW)

Along those lines, my thoughts go to those frazzled rank and file Americans who are busy raising their families and earning money to pay taxes.

“It is also in the interests of a tyrant to keep his people poor, so that they may not be able to afford the cost of protecting themselves by arms and be so occupied with their daily tasks that they have no time for rebellion.”

Aristotle in Politics, J. Sinclair translation, pg. 226, 1962 http://bit.ly/pAI8O0

Further, I am concerned for the newest voters who may not know the “ins and outs” of “kicking the tires” on their first presidential election.

“Children should be educated and instructed in the principles of freedom.”
John Adams

And I am also concerned for our more Seasoned Citizens that dutifully contributed to Social Security and other programs but were lied to by the politicians who frittered away the funds that were supposed to be in the lockbox.

“WE THE PEOPLE have an obligation to keep the promises that were made to previous generations…

…I personally believe if our fiscal problems can’t be solved without cutting benefits to those already retired and retiring within 10 years, all congresspersons who voted yes on budgets which included SS and Medicare taxes in the general fund should be charged with fraud and/or treason and forfeit all of their retirement benefits to fund the now unfunded Social Security and Medicare Liabilities.”

Don Mashak

I feel a duty to sort out the deliberate confusion of this election for my fellow rank and file citizens who may be unaware, frazzled and worn out. I will start out by telling them that the endorsement of Mitt Romney by Donald Trump should mean nothing to them.

4) DONALD TRUMP, THE USED CAR SALESMEN

For you less seasoned citizens, may I first suggest….

Next, it has came to this author’s attention that many local papers will not run letters to the editor, Op Ed pieces and articles that do not conform to the perspective of the local “Powers that be”. If you have a letter to the editor that relates to this article, feel free to post it as a comment, noting that the local news source refused to run it. As long as it conforms with general decorum and is plausible, very rarely will we refuse to publish it. If you have unrelated subject matter and/or video and/or audio that you believe we would be interested in based (based on our prior articles), email it here .Send video/audio in common Internet formats or with Youtube.com links. Do not send video in Public Access TV and/or Cable formats. Our philosophy is that more open public dialogue is better than less public dialogue.

Why You Must Go To Your Caucus This Year!

8:56 pm in Uncategorized by Don Mashak

[Unless you are a political party hack, then you can stay home]

Caucuses are the smallest, most grassroots meetings of the political party system.

This is the year you must go to your caucus, regardless of your political party preference.

Based on the State of the Nation, it should be clear that the people that have been attending the past caucuses haven’t made the best decisions.

In Minnesota, your caucus date is Tuesday, February 7, 2012.
If you live in a different state, Click here to find your Caucus/Primary Date – 2012 Full Primary/Caucus Calendar http://bit.ly/ysETxM

For far too long now, we rank and file Americans have dutifully voted for the candidates of our respective political parties. WE THE PEOPLE have chosen and remained loyal to our respective political parties because we believed in our respective party’s platform and were persuaded by the promises of our political party candidates before each election.

[Article Continues below almost universal translator]

Our Elected no longer are content to represent WE THE PEOPLE. They now want to manage, manipulate and fleece us like livestock. (If you want to better understand how your Government manages and manipulates you need to learn about Edward Bernays. You cannot protect yourself, your perspective of reality nor your family from your Government if you don’t know about Edward Bernays http://bit.ly/nY9BjW) They manage and manipulate us to get our votes and to attempt to keep us from being upset by their betrayals of our trust.

Yet somehow these incumbents have convinced WE THE PEOPLE, their constituents, to keep reelecting them.

WHERE ARE WE AT?

But now, the USA is on the brink of economic and moral collapse.

Most Economists agree no nation’s debts should exceed 60% of Gross Domestic Product GDP & never exceed 90%. US is at 105% & rising http://bit.ly/yCFnHs
http://bit.ly/wFNtOV

“In about 20 years, the corrupt incumbent ruling class took the US from undisputed world Super Power to the brink of collapse.”Don Mashak, the Cynical Patriot

Why Robert Redford won’t run for public office http://bit.ly/sSy66m

USA Fear of Big Government at Near-Record Level http://bit.ly/urMZBb

WE THE PEOPLE can no longer afford to be blindly loyal to our political parties and political party leaders. Things must change or we will forever lose our freedoms and standard of living.

“The liberties of our country, the freedoms of our civil Constitution are worth defending at all hazards; it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors. They purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood. It will bring a mark of everlasting infamy on the present generation – enlightened as it is – if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of designing men.”

Samuel Adams,
Early Leader of American Revolution,
1 of 56 Signors of US Declaration of Independence,
Massachusetts Governor (1794-1797)

Your politicians and the major media are not being truthful with you, my fellow citizens. Our Country is on the brink of collapse. Just because they are not printing it as a headline each day and down play it in the presidential debates, does not mean that crisis is not imminently upon us.

Debt Super Committee Needs a Hero? I’ll be your Huckleberry

9:26 pm in Uncategorized by Don Mashak

Well the deadline has come and gone for the Debt Super Committee? The Stock Market is roiled and America risks having its credit rating down graded. What should be done?

This morning this author took his breakfast at the Monticello MN McDonald’s http://bit.ly/w3K82o (buck breakfast burritos with buck Sweet Tea) Watching on their big screen TV, this author was angered as he listened to one of the CNN talking heads report about the failings of the Debt Super Committee http://bit.ly/vcOoLt

Along the way, the CNN talking head made some ”life imitating art” reference to the Debt Super Committee http://bit.ly/vcOoLt needing a hero and Bonnie Tyler’s song “I need a hero” http://bit.ly/snk74H

In keeping in that mindset of life imitating art, this author advises that he is not qualified to be the Super Committee’s hero…. But “I’ll be your huckleberry”. http://bit.ly/t1T7dQ

This huckleberry has suggested some of the following courses of action before but no one listened. Perhaps now at the 11th hour, some will be willing to listen to this huckleberry.

This huckleberry certainly can’t be as smart of any of you folks in Congress.

[Article Continues below almost universal translator]

And, mind you, this huckleberry doesn’t have a clue what the numbers are. There is no transparency in our alleged Constitutionally limited Representative Republic Government. Further, all of this huckleberry’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests regarding budgets have been denied.

And this huckleberry certainly doesn’t have enough information to know who is and who is not paying enough taxes. All of this huckleberry’s requests to put the budget and/or actual revenues and expenses on the internet in layman’s terms with no aggregates greater than 100 dollars have also been rejected.

But with all of that forewarning by this huckleberry, here goes.

First, get the politics out of the process as much as possible. All you incumbent ruling class elite politicians are too busy jockeying to protect your benefactors to make this process intelligent and logical.

Your method of working upon this issue, with all of your hidden agendas, is farcical.

STEP 1 – BREAK THE BUDGET INTO LOGICAL DIVISIONS

The United States Budget is…..

Conservative Advice to #Occupy Wall Street (#OWS) and the 99%

9:37 pm in Uncategorized by Don Mashak

To begin with, thank you. Thank you for taking the time to be involved in our country’s politics. For many years, various people have opined about the apathy of the American voter while American Politicians took the occasion of this apathy to ignore the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

To be honest, this author is disappointed with many of my fellow conservatives who talk the talk of Constitution, Bill of Rights and Natural Law. They lay claim to the moral high ground but have forgotten to walk the walk. 1st Amendment Rights are not just those for those who agree with our positions on issues. http://goo.gl/6tibX. To paraphrase (and correct) a prominent Republican:

“Constitutionally-Limited Representative Republic where WE THE PEOPLE are guaranteed certain inalienable Natural Rights is messy.”

This author advises his fellow conservatives, if you are going to claim the moral high ground, you need to walk the talk. If rank and file America adopts the casual attitude of the politicians towards truth, justice, integrity, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, America is doomed.

CRITICAL THINKING

This author does not presume to “tell” the Occupy Movement anything. This is an exercise in constructive advice. This author places loyalty to Country and WE THE PEOPLE over loyalty to any political party. The Truth knows no loyalty to any political party.

As evidence of this author’s philosophy, the following is a statement this author normally closes his articles with:

“Critical Thinking Notice – This author advises you as no politician would dare. Exercise Critical Thinking ( http://goo.gl/MEMfo ) in determining the truthfulness of anything you read or hear. Do not passively accept nor believe anything anyone tells you, including this author… That is unless and until you verify it yourself with sources you trust and can actively defend your perspective to anyone who might debate you to the contrary of your perspective.”

This notice to think critically for yourselves should disarm any allegations that this author is attempting to manipulate you. In fact, upon reflection and thinking critically for yourselves, this author believes you will realize others have already duplicitously manipulated the current “perceptions of reality” of each of you for their purposes.

[Article Continues below almost universal translator]

PROLOGUE

If you are of the liberal political persuasion and have made it this far, thank you for taking the time to listen and think critically. If you need further motivation to continue reading, use this as an opportunity to get to know your perceived enemy.

For those of you of a conservative political persuasion, this author refuses to be sucked into the duplicity of the Incumbent Ruling Class elite of either the Republicans or the Democrats. This author seeks to break the false political paradigm the incumbent ruling class elite use to enslave the rank and file of WE THE PEOPLE. In the end, much of this article will be as much Enlightenment for conservatives as it is for liberals.

This center-right conservative author is making this effort to advise the Occupy Movement because it appears to be a group of young, politically novice citizens with genuine and legitimate concerns who need some honest, non-manipulative guidance. Since few who should step forward have sought to offer sincere advice, this author feels a responsibility to fill this void for his fellow Americans.

This author believes the force of his logical argument will create a political paradigm shift. And that this paradigm shift will cause rank and file American of both parties to realize that the 2 major political parties are merely an arbitrary categories created by the ruling class elite to divide, conquer and manipulate, WE THE PEOPLE.

CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW…. ABRIDGING http://goo.gl/bHPo

This author is enraged at the circuitous means the right to free speech, freedom of assembly and the right to petition the government for redress of grievances is being abridged. The first Amendment says “Congress shall make no law…. abridging” these first amendment rights. The definition of abridge from Dictionary.com http://goo.gl/R5DjM:

2. toreduce or lessen in duration, scope, authority, etc.; diminish; curtail: to abridge a visit; to abridge one’s freedom.

3. to deprive; cut off.

Yet some how a myriad of zoning laws, permit laws, health code laws, etc. have been erected which effectively abridge WE THE PEOPLE’s Natural Rights of Speech, Assembly and Government Petition. With a wink and a nudge the ruling class elite passes these laws to suppress, repress and oppress WE THE PEOPLE. By using these circuitous rules, the ruling class attempts to plausibly deny that they are abridging the First Amendment. The net effect is to make our Government less accountable to WE THE PEOPLE.

At the same time, this author recognizes and vigorously defends the private property rights of the private property owners. However, if WE THE PEOPLE cannot protest on private property nor freely protest on Public Property, where may WE THE PEOPLE go to protest and/or otherwise make our sentiments known? Is it not mocking hypocrisy to guarantee WE THE PEOPLE free speech, free assembly and freedom to Petition the Government, and then outlaw the locations where free speech and assembly can be practiced? What is the difference between our elected officials directing law enforcement to mace, hose, rubber bullet and arrest Protesters for alleged zoning and health code violations and dictators and communists directing their law enforcement to use the same mace, hose, rubber bullets and arrests to suppress, repress and oppress political dissent?

What would our Founder’s say if they heard about these circumventions of the 1st Amendment? What would George Washington have said if King George decreed; “No tents or signs at Valley Forge if the temperature drops below freezing?” How do any of our US Government officials make these decrees in good faith, knowing our history, traditions and the intentions of the Founder’s in drafting the 1st Amendment?

Whether we conservatives support the Occupy Movements positions on issues or not, who, if not we conservatives shall defend to the death, their right to protest? http://goo.gl/6tibX Or will we conservatives wait until someday when our right to protest is denied. And then realize there is no Court of Public Opinion to appeal to because we failed to uphold the Constitution and Bill of Rights now?

Political issues must be resolved on the force of logical argument and not brute oppression or America is destined for tyranny and revolution. And yes, it will be messy. Such is the nature of freedom and liberty.

The Winds of Change are blowing

There Are Not 2 Major Political Parties In The USA

5:57 pm in Uncategorized by Don Mashak

There are not 2 major political parties in the USA, there is only one corrupt, duplicitous, incumbent ruling class elite pretending to be 2 separate political parties.

The USA is not currently a constitutionally limited representative Republic; it is a corrupt Plutocracy masquerading as a constitutionally limited representative Republic.

WELCOME TO THE GRAND ILLUSION

http://goo.gl/NAhGS

THERE ARE NOT TWO MAJOR POLITICAL PARTIES

There is only one ruling class with two heads (elephant and donkey). They change which head appears to be in charge from time to time to give the appearance of political revolution to circumvent actual violent revolution. However, regardless of which “head” appears to be in control, the people making the decisions behind the scenes do not change.

The Ruling Class uses the illusion of 2 separate major political parties to further its goals. The Ruling Class uses arbitrary definitions of what it means to be Democrat and Republican to divide and conquer WE THE PEOPLE.

The Ruling class exploits the innate human emotional desire to be part of a group to pit WE THE PEOPLE, the rank and file of America against each other, instead of against our elected officials or the incumbent ruling class. Some Issues are deliberately “kept alive” and “emotionalized” so that voter’s vote with their hearts and selfish and primal instincts. [How to brainwash a Nation! http://bit.ly/ogVy6z Edward Bernays and the Art of Public Manipulation (Propaganda) http://bit.ly/qBDHLx ] Another reason some issues are “kept alive” is that they are good sources of campaign contributions and “issue Industries” have grown up around them.

[Article Continues below almost universal translator]

Lastly, some persons from both political parties become extremely insistent that there is a philosophical difference between the two major parties. I have listened to them angrily rant on and on. They point to the differences in the platforms, philosophy on government size etc.

The author’s response is this. The author has been to the caucuses. The author has been a delegate. The author has offered resolutions. The author has added planks to a political party’s platform. What difference does any of these things make if the day after the election our elected officials are selling their votes to the highest bidder?

Republicans are supposed to be for Free Markets and Risk and Reward – The freedom to Succeed or Fail.

Democrats are supposed to be for the little guy. Despite this both Democrats and Republicans ignored their platforms and philosophies to bail our Rich Bankers who failed. What is the difference between the parties if just sell out to the highest bidder?

THE USA IS A CORRUPT PLUTOCRACY MASQUERADING AS

A CONSTITUTIONALLY-LIMITED, REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLIC

Long before caucuses and primaries come along, the Ruling Class elite have already manipulated into place their slate of candidates. By the time caucuses and primaries are held, WE THE PEOPLE usually left to select from a candidate the elite have selected to be the Democrat and a candidate the elite have selected to be the Republican. Therefore, which ever candidate voters select, you are still selecting a candidate loyal to the ruling class elite. And while the Ruling Classes machinations are not 100% effective, they are sufficiently effective to elect a majority to do their bidding.

Smiling faces, Sometimes They Lie

http://goo.gl/S6w9A

To get elected, both Republican and Democrat candidates tell their perceived constituencies whatever it takes to get elected. The day after the election they begin selling their votes to the highest bidder (Plutocracy) with little or no regard to their own constituents.

ENLIGHTENMENT VS. RULING CLASS CONTROL

The American constitution was written towards the end of the “1^st Enlightenment” aka “The Age of reason. The Constitution was written incorporating the ideas of unalienable Natural Law and Natural Rights.

“Prior to the Enlightenment, rational thought was circumscribed by the dogma of the Sacred Circle http://digg.com/d31a3Qv?t of King, Church and religious texts. In short, during the enlightenment, individuals decided they could think for themselves rather than, voluntarily or by force, view the world through perceptions espoused and/or imposed by Monarchs, tradition, Superstition and/or Religion.” http://goo.gl/ySQy4

The new printing press, books, Coffeehouses, debating clubs and universal libraries greatly accelerated the distribution of these new ideas of the enlightenment throughout the masses. These ideas spread so quickly, that the status quo ruling elite of the time could not suppress them. And with its psychological devices of control rendered useless, the tyrannical ruling class of the time could not withstand people using reason and thinking for them selves, and soon made concessions and adapted or were swept away by violent revolution.

But the ruling class of our time has adapted. With their old psychological devices for controlling WE THE PEOPLE through simple brute force, tradition and superstition, the ruling class pondered a new controlling strategy.

Upon long reflection, the new ruling class determined that they can control us by controlling the information WE THE PEOPLE receive. By controlling the information that WE THE PEOPLE receive; they can only induce WE THE PEOPLE to the decisions and conclusion the ruling class desires while duping WE THE PEOPLE into believing we made our choices of our own free will.

The rise of television, radio and motion pictures were the technological advances that allowed the new ruling class to inflict their new controlling strategy upon WE THE PEOPLE via mass indoctrination, propaganda and censorship. (Unfortunately for the current ruling class and fortunately for WE THE PEOPLE, the internet represents the same technological advance as the printing press, ideas and ideals of natural law and natural rights have accelerated in distribution at a faster pace that the current ruling class can control – hence the ruling classes attempts to control it)

PUBLIC EDUCATION INDOCTRINATION

Back Stabbers

http://goo.gl/eYDZU

Another way that the Ruling Class controls us is through Public Education indoctrination. For example, we have all heard the fable of George Washington, “I cannot tell a lie, I chopped down the cherry tree”. This and other propaganda are used to instill in young folks the notion of a morality of “absolute right and wrong”. But in the real world, Politicians practice a morality of “plausible deniability”. This practice of teaching a morality to young people which is diametrically opposed to reality in the real world, exposes new generations to being exploited by those who practice a standard of “plausible deniable” morality.

EDWARD BERNAYS, TERROR AND MISINFORMATION

Our corrupt Plutocratic government manipulates and manages us like cattle and/or trained seals by deliberate misinforming and terrorizing WE THE PEOPLE as method of oppression, suppression, repression and manipulation. (See – The political uses of fear – Edward Bernays http://goo.gl/s9rY8) In a constitutionally-limited Representative Republic elected officials are supposed to represent the people, not manage and manipulate them.

The political uses of fear – Edward Bernays

CONSTITUTION AND BILL OF RIGHTS

Both parties regularly trample and ignore the Constitution and Bill of Rights…..

Minneapolis MN based Best Buy to cut holiday hires in half – Who to blame?

7:27 pm in Uncategorized by Don Mashak

“As is this author’s normal routine a couple days per week, breakfast was enjoyed at the local Monticello MN McDonalds http://bit.ly/qvtHOm . (Their dollar Sweet Tea and dollar sausage burrito being the enticement)

And, in the complimentary issue of the Minneapolis Star and Sickle http://bit.ly/nz73BG appeared this article:
Best Buy to cut holiday hires in half http://bit.ly/o9REgO

“With the weak economy making it tough to predict holiday sales, the Richfield (MN, USA) -based electronics giant plans to call in 15,000 temporary workers, down from 29,000 last year.”

With its large market share, Best Buy, Inc.’s decisions portend the future the US retail economy. http://bit.ly/pSx86v

With the 30 days Winter Holiday Season representing 20% of the American economy, this economic indicator does not bode well for the American economy.
It occurred to this author that the Conservatives spin on would be as the fault of President Obama.

But who is really to blame for the current state of the US Economy?
Perhaps one of these two explanations will allow the reader to determine for themselves upon whom the true blame should be cast.

1) THE USA AS A CORPORATION WITH YOU AS THE SOLE OWNER

The first, and perhaps easiest to understand perspective, is to think of the USA as a company with you personally as the sole owner.

As owner, you have hired a management team to produce superior results.

After years of good results, the current management team has been reporting dismal results, similar to the results the USA Politicians are responsible for.

In the little more than the 20 years since your biggest competitor collapsed (the former USSR) giving you overwhelming market share, your management team has brought your company… your source of money, power, basic needs, superior luxuries and indulgent desires… to the brink of collapse.

How long will you listen to their explanations and finger pointing? Especially knowing that your reputation, power, personal freedom, standard of living and way of life hang in the balance? [Article Continues below almost universal translator]

Since most Americans are employees and/or sports teams fans, the author presumes you have witnessed how Corporations deal with poor performance. Heads rolls, presidents get terminated, Coaches get fired and employees get laid off.

And, as the sole owner of the USA, you would just as ruthlessly dispatch your current management team. The management team whose poor results you cannot tolerate for the reasons we have already listed, and some more personal reasons we have not.

Some of those additional reasons being emotionally based….”
