The Game

The game has one rule: supply (-cost) + demand = profit. The object of the game is to maximize profit by increasing supply and demand and minimizing cost as much as possible by cutting out middlemen and keeping labor expenses down. Capitalist like to make money but they don’t like people making money off of them.

Why would corporate America use its own natural resources, supply, when it could get them overseas for cheaper? The U.S. uses over 50% of the worlds goods so naturally goods are more in demand over here and therefore more expensive. That’s why we are dependent on foreign oil, and setting up ‘democracies’ in other people’s countries.

Why would Corporate America pay American employees min. wage or higher and deal with unions and lawsuits and child labor laws when they can pay foreign workers pennies on the dollar without having to compete with wages and benefits of other companies? That’s why ‘3rd’ world countries are filled with sweat-shops with overworked children stitching our soccer balls and tennis shoes so they can buy a coca-cola at the end of the day…meanwhile our oil wells are pumping all their dinosaur bones out of the ground and setting up rigs off of their beaches.

Americanization, Globalization, Urbanization…

It’s all the same thing. Their goal is control, money, power and fame. The globe has been turned into a giant game of ‘Risk’ where governments representing corporate interests are competing for control of the world.

America is a government by the corporation, for the corporations, and of the corporations. The United States is nothing more than a corporate owned franchise spreading its empire all over the globe. Every nation in the world is infested with it’s Embassies, Military bases, and Nike sweat shops, as well as McDonald’s and Starbucks. America has become the center of a black hole of greed, and power imposing its force on the rest of the world turning other countries into subsidiaries to serve it’s arbitrary ends as it sucks the earth’s natural resources into itself. It consumes over half of the worlds goods and enslaves a large percentage of the world’s population. Capitalism, by its very nature, depends on its ability to impose its value system on people and cultures that may be inclined to believe differently.

It’s the same old story…Globalization.  Power hungry tyrants have been playing this game for centuries before The United States of America even existed, waging wars, colonizing other countries and setting up their governments, raping the land and enslaving the native people…intent on taking over as much of the world as they could get their hands on. War and oppression is the nature of Empire.

War is taking something by force that you have no right to possess. Control is an illusion that must be constantly maintained. War is a self perpetuating virus that feeds on itself, sucking Life into the nothing. Contrastingly,  Nature is a cycle of giving and receiving. The flow always provides. To take by force is disturb the flow.

What happened?

After the Second World War, husbands and wives were now in the work force serving side by side as cogs in the wheels of the gears of the machine while their children were left to be raised by the state rather than the village. The organic family structure was replaced by a mechanical system and children were taught at a very young age that they: “…must lead their own independent lives outside of the old bonds of family, tribe, religion, order and class, and you must do this within the new guidelines of rules which the state, the job market and the bureaucracy lay down.”-Ulrich Beck.

Market values trumped family values and community responsibility was usurped by allegiance to Big Brother. We were subversively and coercively forced into being loyal subjects to a regime dedicated to corporate hegemony and control of world trade, sucked into a vortex of power and greed, a black hole spinning out of control around the bowl and down the hole, spiraling ever closer to the depths of tyranny.

The baby boomer generation was the beginning of the new mechanical consciousness, fulfillment of the prophesy of the coming anti-Christ alluded to in the Bible, Plato’s Republic, and George Orwell’s 1984. As the baby boomers plugged into the machine, generation x plugged in the television set and digested lethal doses of poison for the minds of the masses as we, the second generation of orphans indoctrinated by Father Sam in his religion of mass consumerism, and maniacal individuality, sacrifice our children on the altar of convenience in the name of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness (safety, comfort, and security).

We’ve neglected generation X; we’re aborting generation Y, what is to become of generation Z?

Summer of Love?

The “hippie” movement was much more than mere rebellion; it was a desperate search for meaning, a switch from auto-pilot to overdrive, an awakening, a new awareness. Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll were not hailed as an end themselves but a means to an end…a part of the journey.

Acid trips and meditative trances gave way to prophetic visions and chemical induced illusions. We were lost children of the fall, searching for a path back to the Garden, groping in the darkness, dreaming of the Promised Land. Doubts lingering in the back of our minds…the question everyone was afraid to ask…”Is God dead?” Are we all alone?

Isolated by the prisons of our own minds, bastard children of our own demise, we were vulnerable, rebellious, and pliable. In hopes of discovering inner peace and True Love we started “Being” and practicing “Free Love.” We joined communes and formed organizations with egalitarian and Utopian ideals, protested and demonstrated in the streets, longing for a place and time where everyone was equal to his brothers and sisters in every way.

Flower power didn’t work because rebellion usurped community. The ‘revolution’  became the new orthodoxy as ‘Hippie’ became a fashion statement rather than viable option.

The reason the movement failed was that a majority of the people didn’t really believe in the ideals they were preaching, they were more concerned with trying to be ‘hip’ and capitalizing on the fad selling concert tickets, records, tie dyed T-shirts, bell-bottoms, drugs, paraphernalia, and books. The ‘revolution’ was not only televised, it was commercialized, commoditized, genre-sized, religionized and politicized, but never fully realized.

As time went on, our baby boomer cries of defiant rebellion became spoiled tantrums of “gimmie, gimmie, gimmie” as the struggle for liberty and justice for all evolved from an equality to an entitlement mentality; rendering us a welfare state, more dependent than ever on Daddy Sam.

Like a famous American once said; “Give me Liberty or give me…food stamps, pharmaceuticals, section 8 housing and a social security check.”

The pendulum has swung from one extreme to the other in the 40 years we have wandered in the desert since the “Summer of Love” and we are by no means anywhere near the Promised Land. The Revolution has made a full circle and become the new orthodoxy. Here we are over three decades past the bicentennial year and we’re in the same place we were in over 230 years ago. Tyranny.

The time has come once again for the people to unite and list their grievances against the axis of power, the rulers and principalities of this dark world, and declare their independence, breaking all ties of co-dependency and loyalty to Babylon. Instead of resisting, co-existing with nature and our fellow-man in harmonious communities of like-minded souls governed by a circle of agreement with a powerful nucleus of Love rather than a hierarchical pyramid of control perpetuated by an oppressive omnipresent Tyrant.

2%ers.

The 2%ers are those of us who break the yokes of mental and physical slavery and create a new world for ourselves and our loved ones. we are the pilgrims of a new world… and we create it everyday.
