The system is collapsing. It has the seeds of its own destruction and they are blooming big time.

The collapse needs to happen to make the necessary changes. The rest is petty small talk. The party is over, the unraveling is in process.

The names change but the game remains the same.

All but the lines on the map are about to change.

Watch for a shift mid summer.

it is these geniuses that have produced knowledge in every field of human endeavor; if it is up to O, most priests/nobles/politician, most of us wld be slaves even today.

pols and priests rule over us with cunning methods; perfected over millennia; so, serfdom may be on the way out and slavery once again institutionalized. tnx

I think it is unwise to use the phrase “corporate welfare”. I know this phrase has been popularized by Ralph Nader for the past 20 years but I think it has quite the opposite effect on the American psyche. The attack on “welfare” stated with Reagan who used the stereotypical image of an overweight African American woman with many children feeding on the public dole. This imagery created a backlash against social programme s and social spending in general. To label these exercises in raw power as “corporate welfare” demonstrates how ruling class thinking affects even those who should know better.
The term “corporate welfare” doesn’t come with advocacy of “universal welfare” it is used as a catch phrase to highlight that the corporation are getting all the money just like all those Negroes on the dole. The natural tendency is not only to eliminate corporate welfare but welfare in general. This use of the term “corporate welfare” then become a REACTIONARY tool that helps promote the Libertarian bromide to all government social spending – cut everything and “reduce government”. It promotes and opens the door the kind of “Ron Paul/small government” reactionary approach rather than one that will serve to redistribute wealth and resources.
Part of the reason why Reagan won office and was given the green light to slash social spending was due to the stereotypical imagery of people needing social services. This crisis now uncovers that we all need social and economic services and now is the time to EMBRACE welfare rather than to continue to belittle it.

Hello Mr. Obama: Dear Excelent Mr. President Dr. Barack Obama. Congratulations on becoming our president and on saving the United States from the fascist dictatorship of George W. Bush, zionist-neoconservatives and the Republican Party. We have to thank God and the US voters for The Democrat Party for saving us from John Mccain and Sarah Palin who as zionist warmongers as they are, were real eager and ready to take the whole world to the brink of a nuclear-armageddon war against our allies and against the people of this world.

We all know that the world capitalist system is in its final stages, and that neoliberalism destroys nations, and that socialism as Hugo Chavez has said is the only solution for this world’s economic crisis. It would be worth studying to change the economic advisors in your cabinnet, because i am sure that they are real good intentioned, but their neoliberal-ideology is the problem. It would be better for the whole United States economy and future, to consider people like Joseph Stiglitz, Dave Korten, and Michael Hudson (Dennis Kucinich’s economics advisor) in your cabinet, and Dennis Kucinich himself.

Also, like you said Mr. President you are willing to have a bipartizan team, why not considering well intentioned people of the Republican Party like Ron Paul, and Paul Craig Roberts (Ronald Reagan’s advisor)

What USA needs is a gradual change toward a participative-democratic socialist system of the XXI Century, thru a Constitutional Reform by a Constitutional Assembly like many modern nations today are reforming their own political and economic system. A Political Reform would not be complete without a democratic economic reform, so that USA could move from a corporate-capitalist country toward a real nationalist-econonomic system, where the key elements of the US industries would be owned by the US government, a Robin Hood fiscal reform, in order to shrink the gap between the rich and poor. Another good worth pondering is to stimulate a plan of workers-cooperative businesses, under workers-ownership who are the creators of wealth like Karl Marx said.

The wealth of this great land belongs to all US citizens and specially *workers* who are the creators of wealth, but they won’t be able to claim that wealth without a nationalization program under state and workers-control of the key elements of US industries like oil, water, communication, electricity, gold, mines, etc.

US citizens would greaty benefit from a socialist subdization program of basic utilities, basic goods and services. Americans also need access to subsidized or free Universities and Colleges, this country needs more public socialist education instead of private education. It would also be a great idea for US government to regulate right-wing stations like CNN and FOX and also to create a state-owned progressive TV station with progressive media people like Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez, in order to spread the ideology of egalitarian-democracy, the US founding fathers, to teach americans democratic egalitarian values, so that thru a good education programs americans truely be free individuals and architects of of our own destiny and wealth. On the international level it is worth studying the closing of most US military bases, the incorporation of USA in the ALBA (Bolivarian Alternative of the Americas), and it would be a great idea to consider Jimmy Carter as peace missioner on the Israeli-Palestine conflict.

thanks
