American History: Era of Greed and Destruction

Message Bayard Waterbury

So, here we are steeped in the New Era of American Plutocracy, with both major parties fully invested in what is being wrought to control the public, its actions, opinions, knowledge, etc.   It is only by a concerted action taken by all of us, essentially in unison, that will overcome what is being done.   I see the greatest problem as one of motivating those who prefer to ignore the problem to just "get along" and struggle to find a comfortable place which doesn't require action or commitment.   It is clear that apathy and ignorance are our greatest enemies.   If we prefer to be ostriches and bury our heads in the sand, we will reap the whirlwind, something which many of us are doing.   Don't be fooled into believing that the recent suits against the major banks are anything more than another passion play to make us believe that our interests are somehow being taken care of.   In the context of the massive ways in which we will lose in the future through the plutocracy, these are essentially meaningless.   If you have read what I have written, I recommend that you circulate it to family, friends, acquaintances, etc., so that they may become informed and involved.   Their futures depend upon it.
