The American liberty bell is cracked. It no longer rings true. Hungry pigs now squeal at their half-empty trough, forcing the government, through their media, to begin a psyop campaign against the people. In true Orwellian fashion, talking heads insist that slavery is instead freedom and the newfound relief from a slowed down treadmill is a grave danger. They declare the economic remission to be an economic crisis and have initiated the greatest theft of American treasure in history.

It has never been more obvious that government is not representative of the people who allow its existence. Government serves itself and the interests of big business corporations and the wealthy elite. The vast majority of people are merely resources, national chattel to be exploited, used up and then discarded. Those in control husband citizens as animals, slaughter us like pigs in for-profit wars, milk us like cows of our hard-earned wages. Business-controlled government herds us into corporate feedlots to suckle the leeches of industry while passing more laws to force us into an ever more restrictive consumer culture, bleeding us of the fruits of our labors through taxation—not to regulate the businesses that enslave us—but to tighten the straps that bind us to the grindstone. If the economy slows its juggernaut of destruction and we the people find the time to rest, the government declares it an emergency and steals our children’s inheritance to reimburse those who speculated and lost, to keep us in debt and force us to work, to inject our lifeblood into the sputtering economic engine of social and environmental destruction.

The propaganda machine is at full throttle. As more and more people acquiesce to the futility of attaining economic Nirvana, the media insists that consumer confidence is high, that the economy is in recovery, that their trillions of freshly minted dollars will let us plunge deeper into debt to purchase the luxuries they call necessities at an untenable price.

And indeed, it seems to be working. The economic crisis appears to be reviving. Oil speculators are back in the market driving gasoline past the $3 mark. Stock prices are inflating, though fewer people are getting by. Productivity is increasing, which simply means that the depleted workforce is working longer hours for less pay. Commodity speculators are driving up the cost of foods to squeeze the last penny from those who can least afford it. As even more people walk away from their homes, greedy investors buy foreclosures, driving prices and rents back up even as homelessness continues to rise.

Marie Antoinette said, “Let them eat cake,” and the peasants stormed the Bastille to free the imprisoned and employed the guillotine to re-equilibrate their society.

The FEMA concentration camps are finished and await occupation. Has the monetary defibrillator revived the beast or is it gasping its last breath? Only time will tell. Are you prepared?
