Post 309 A: Psycopathy & the Republican Party II
I rewrote post 308 A: due to the many spelling errors, which I am likely to commit in the early morning hours whilst half asleep. I have also been dealing with computer viruses and the replacement of a hard drive. Apparently my writings are enough of a threat to someone that I have to be 'monitored'. I, teltalheart, finished my rewrite at 5:08 pm, Friday June 22, 2012 central standard time.
I was wondering if any of you remember a little sit-com that aired about 1981. It was called 'The Greatest American Hero', staring William Katt as Ralph Hinkley and Robert Culp as FBI Agent Bill Maxwell. In many ways this show, along with the 'Night Stalker', was the precursor to the 'X Files'. School Teacher Hinkley is given an outlandish superhero suit, that provides superhuman powers, by extraterrestrials. They were trying to do sort of a 'Welcome back Kotter' super hero/Sci-Fi kind of a thing. In the Pilot Episode a weak Vice-President was being controled by a Wealthy Billionaire Big Business man who has funded his campaign and now plans to eliminate (kill) the President and replace him with his own puppet of a leader. The Wealthy Big Business man has set up a fake religious organization, Disciples of Gidean, whose main purpose is to provide a squeaky-clean image for him to hide behind while all the time setting about terrorizing the nation while he offers to fight the 'terrorists' (which he seceretly controls) and erturn the nation to civility, while under his total control of course.
Such scenarios were all over the place at this time following the assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan. But nobody took them seriously. It begain with the Sagebrush Rebellion, which has now morphed into The Tea Party, which catapulted Ronald Reagan into the White House. One would be wise to remember that Ronald Reagan was for a time the cartoon joke candidate when he first announced his bid for the Presidency. In the pilot episode Bill Maxwell (Robert Culp) tells the Disciples of Gidean, "You're about as religious as a Las Vegas Night Club... A bunch of terrorists trying to fake some kind of religion while you stash away the machine guns and grenades". If you don't think military firepower can change a government all you have to do is take a look at Egypt and their recent military coup overthrow of their Arab Spring movement and thereby their hope for democracy.
How odd it is in this case that life should imitate art. In this case the art being a T.V. sit-com. With the end of the Cold War and the traditional enemies of America looming on the horizion in the early years of the 1980s. The American Military-Industrial Complex President Eisenhower had warned us about was in need of another "Boogie Man" to scare the common masses, also known as American citizens, into mass submission to the will of the traditional "privileged classes," also known as the Wealthy and Powerful one percent. The religious threat of Hellfire and Damnation was no longer working. This while the threat of communism was waning. Something had to be found to provide a Scare Factor.
The various intelligence agencies had noted a weakening in the Soviet Union at this time. America was losing its best and most consistant source of public works projects. Just think about all the money it took to develop the hydrogen boom and build the nuclear silos in the midwestern states. Not to mention the nuclear missile launching subs and the B-52 boomers. Let us not forget the money for maintenance, upkeep and improvements.
At this point the Soviet Union was lured into the beleif with false indicators that Afghanistan was going to break away from the Communist Block. Wealthy Socialite Joanne Herring, wife of oilman Robert Herring, (Charlie Wilson's War) lured Senator Charlie Wilson into her bed, according to the movie, then lured him into supporting the Mujahideen resistance fighters in Afghanistan with American money and arms.
This is where Osama bin Laden, son of Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden, a friend and one time business partner of George H.W. Bush, got his military training form U.S. Special Forces and CIA operatives. George H.W. Bush and Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden also both share close ties with the Saudi Royal family. Another oil producing magnet.
After driving the Soviets out of Afghanistan, with the help of U.S. money and military aid, for reasons that are still unclear Osama bin Laden turned his attention to attacking Western Nations, in particular the United States. The very nation that had funded the Afghanistan resistance campaign. Could this have been to provide the Military-Industrial Complex with its new "Boogie Man" in the form of "terrorism; a that is somewhat ephemeral so one has a difficult time judging if one is winning or losing?
Here it is thirty-one years since 'The Greatest American Hero' aired and we are still dealing with the same things. But now it's no sit-com. Now it's real. But by now this bunch has achived almost all their goals. George H.W. Bush had almost wiped any future of Social Security with the amount of money he "appropriated" (stole) to make his administrations financial house look much better than it actually was. It made S.S. insolvent now and in the future. If you owe someone a $100 and you only have $90. You are insolvent. The missing money only makes the disparage even greater with time.
Bill Clinton was a Republican stalking horse who allowed big business to sell our nations factories and patents to China. These are the same big business men who ran off with hundreds of billions of dollars from the sale of American manufactoring companies and jobs to China who are now pleading poverty, "because the taxes could go from 36% to 39.6% and that's just too high - waaa, boo, hoo, hoo!"
A right wing religious wing-nut-job organization has been allowed to infiltrate Congress and the Senate on its way to the White House who actually believe they have some kind of divine right to set up a half-assed litmus rest as to who is and is not Christian. This when the fact is their top controllers are themselves controled by the billionaires whose main interest is less money for the middle-class and more, More, MUCH MORE flowing into the coffers of those same billionaires.
With the selection of George W. Bush the sell of American patents and factories to China went into hyper-drive. He also started two wars with the organization headed by Osama bin Laden, the son Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden. Dick Cheney faked a reason to wage war on Iraq; Book: 'The Way of the World', by Ron Suskind. The war made the defense contractors, George W. Bush's buddies, multi-billionaires. They're the same people who, by the way, funded his campaign. Now tell me if you're feeling screwed yet?
The Republican Party, and particularly the Tea Party, are acutely punctuated by their total lack of feeling, sympathy, empathy, or remorse for anyone but themselves. It's a trait most commonly found among psychopaths. While one can give such a test to an individual. One wonders if such a test could be applied to an organization?
It's interesting to note the idea behind Christianity is for the individual, who is caught between good and evil, heaven and earth, right and wrong, to put aside his/her animalistic nature and for the greater enlightenment of good. The idea of Karma, that everything you do will come back to you. It appears the Republicans are much inclined to their animalistic predatory nature.
Much like wolves culling out the weak, old and the very young to kill and devour. Or in the case of Mitt Romney, to take over a company that looks weak and vulnerable yet still has a lot of money invested in the workers pension plan which is ripe for the stealing, or raiding, whichever term you like. Republicans always do the same thing. They claim workers who have worked hard all their lives don't deserve their pensions. They then propose the solution to be that they, the Republicans, steal the money and keep it for themselves. Or better yet to give it to their billionaire buddies in the form of tax breaks. Then just sit back and wait for the big campaign contributions to roll in!
You can bet your ass the Republicans are watching what is happening in Greece. The fact that the Greek Government cut their government retirees pensions in half. The Republicans are probably thinking fo a way they can fake a crisis here and do the same thing to Americas government pension retirees. The Republicans could then give even bigger tax breaks to their bastard billionaire buddies.
There are two lines of thought on money. Idea one, there is a limited amount of pieces in the wealth pie. If one person, such as a billionaire, gets more it means everybody else gets less. Idea two, There is an unlimited amount of pieces in the wealth pie. The Republicans like idea two. Idea two is also a lie, which makes the Republican like it even more. I, teltalheart, can prove it. Do all currencies in ever country have serial numbers on the bills? Yes they do. The currency numbers are NOT unlimited! Every nation can trace every bill of currency it ever produced. Any new produce that comes onto the market takes away from an older product that is going by the wayside. Have you bought and buggy wheels lately?
Well, that's all I have for now. I hope you found it informative.
