Control
Neo (Obama): Why am I here?The Architect: Your life is the sum of a remainder of an unbalanced equation inherent to the programming of the matrix (vulture capitalism). You are the eventuality of an anomaly(American people’s demands), which despite my sincerest efforts I have been unable to eliminate from what is otherwise a harmony of mathematical precision. While it remains a burden assiduously avoided, it is not unexpected, and thus not beyond a measure of control.
Last week the Republicans were irate that Obama made a recess appointment while the Congress wasn’t technically in recess. The Republicans claimed Obama committed an unconstitutional act, made an end run around the constitution, and was acting as a dictator. A week early, Obama signed into law a bill authorizing unlimited detention of American citizens. Need I say more…
In 1991, George H. W. Bush failed to convince the Democratic controlled congress to pass NAFTA. In 1993, Bill Clinton, POTUS from Walmart, convinced enough Democrats, Big Labor, and the general public that NAFTA was in America’s best interest.
I saw a statistic that if the work place participation rate in 2011 (64%) was at the level of 2007 (67%), then the current unemployment rate would be 10.5% compared to 8.5%. Yesterday, Obama asked Corporate America to bring jobs back to America. He must have forgotten that he has the power to withdraw from NAFTA.
My biggest political fear isn’t the election of Mitt Romney or the worthless policies coming from the Obama administration. My biggest fear is that Obama will convince enough “Democrats” that a declining middle class, unlimited detentions, endless wars, and gutting entitlements is normal. Obama’s task now is to convinced “Democrats” and Independents that he is better for American than Romney. Just as Bill Clinton convinced Obama that supporting free trade, NAFTA, and the WTO is in Obama political interest over good American jobs.
The American people, their jobs, and their way of life remain a burden assiduously avoided, but not unexpected, and thus not beyond a measure of CONTROL by worthless corporate politicians like Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.When the American people demand change (1992, 2008), the masters of the universe vomit up another puppet selling Hope and Change. The puppet(the One) is just another measure of CONTROL. They give the peasants the illusion of democracy, but after the crisis, vulture capitalist (GWB, Romney) return. Our best Hope for real Change is to let the vultures eat each other. Vote Mitt Romney 2012.
