A web log based on the principle that a civilized society deserves democratic government based on integrity. The premise here is the U.S. democracy has effectively been subverted by oligarchical forces which must be opposed with facts and rational thought. (An RSS feed is recommended.)

The Mechanisms of Corporate Control Are Akin to Colonial Control

A change of power does not require the election of a Mitt Romney or a Barack Obama or a Democratic majority in Congress, or an attempt to reform the system or electing progressive candidates, but rather a destruction of corporate domination of the political process -— [author] Gamer’s “patron-client” networks. Chris Hedges tells of the methods of corporate control over our society as described by Robert Gamer. What is happening is an up-date of union-busting tactics in the nineteenth century, and colonial rule which began even earlier. There is nothing new about the oppression which is occuring. People feel this oppression, even if they do not know its source. It is long past time to oppose and end this unholy oppression. http://www.nationofchange.org/colonized-corporations-1337090922
