We - The Most Important Word in Politics
By: Ed Howes
More than two hundred years ago a handful of counter revolutionary American elites, created central government with all the powers of a king and only a fraction of the responsibilities. In order to sell it to the public, they wrote an introduction which begins; “We the people, in order to form a more perfect union.” Now, who will argue with the people? Who will argue against unity? Who will argue against perfection? A more clever marketing phrase has never been created by men.
If one studies the history of the United States Confidence Institution, they will learn patriots argued forcibly against it and a media campaign by James Madison and Alexander (the banker) Hamilton carried the day. They created a confidence game which is all but worshipped by their modern marks. A confidence game became the “Supreme Law of the Land” and we are all in it together. We, we, we, all the way home. These little piggies gone to market. These little piggies on the dinner table.
The confidence game works so well because it is all inclusive. No one is left out. Whatever our personal and political differences, we have the finest law money can buy. We will kill for it, we will die for it. We will serve IT all our lives becaue WE are Americans and that is what makes us Americans. This is the greatest mistake YOU will ever make.
This is why when George Bush says we are at war, we all pretend to be at war. When the media says we elected George Bush, we pretend we elected George Bush, since we did not prevent his election. When we are told we are consumers, we do not argue, we consume - because - we are all in this together.
We have problems with rigged elections. We don’t choose any candidates, we choose a few from a pre selected short list. We are told it is important to pick one and we do. We make democracy possible and we will make it global, just as the original con game was made national. When it is global, all the people of the earth will live happily ever after, just as we now do. No one will be excluded. An even more perfect union.
We are good. We are great. We are the ones THEY love to hate. Effemall! God help the power elites when the American people see them as them and not we. God help us all when we are not unified by our ignorance, laziness, dispassion. helplessness and hopelessness. Who in this world would we be without US?
