HOW DO YOU TAKE YOUR POISON?
By Chris Hedges
EXCERPT: Obama is not in charge. Romney would not be in charge. Politicians are the public face of corporate power. They are corporate employees. Their personal narratives, their promises, their rhetoric and their idiosyncrasies are meaningless. And that, perhaps, is why the cost of the two presidential campaigns is estimated to reach an obscene $2.5 billion. The corporate state does not produce a product that is different. It produces brands that are different. And brands cost a lot of money to sell.
Corporate power, no matter who is running the ward after January 2013, is poised to carry out U.S. history’s most savage assault against the poor and the working class, not to mention the Earth’s ecosystem. And no one in power, no matter what the bedside manner, has any intention or ability to stop it.
Full Reader's Comment: The whole election process has become nothing more than the illusion of democracy.
We live in a world of illusion and fantasy where reality and truth have been replaced by corporate propaganda and brainwashing.
We are simply peasants working to support a system we no longer have any ownership of, or power to control or change.
The masses are controlled by television where they are told what to think and what to do.
The educational system is controlled by government who is in turn controlled by corporations who desire the system to produce mindless drones who live their lives producing labor and consuming goods and services that keep the corporate gods in their place at the top of the pyramid of humanity.
It is all a joke, unfortunately the joke is on us.
