The Supreme Court decision in Citizen's United, in essence, gives these government entities that are fleecing the voter the ability to use the money in question to also "disenfranchise them". This is a conflict of interest so profound it requires not only disclosure but a complete bar to these corporations being able to influence the electoral process through campaign contributions or lobbies.
Furthermore the decision made on the basis of what the Supreme Court knows to be incorporated i.e.; the United States Government and it's control over most of the known corporations of this country can only be construed as yet another outrageous breach of ethics that prohibits The Supreme court from ruling on a "Political Question"! The Citizens United ruling with the help of a Bush packed court is just the most rescent in a stream of misadventures stemming from the first 2000 decision and it speaks volumes as to why hearing political questions is prohibited.

What ensued may have happened whether the Court had gotten involved or not. Yet ultimately, the American people did not make the decision of who would lead the country in 2000. However, they have had to pay the price for 9/11/2001, two preemptive wars, the loss of the world's respect through Guantanamo, and Abeu Grebe , torture and extreme rendition.This has made Americans the inadvertent and hated scape goats behind the British intelligence directed predations on the rest of the world.
The American people who have been kept in the dark about much of what has been happening until recently are being rewarded with the loss of liberty through the patriot acts, the military commissions act, the emergency health powers act and the loss of Posse Comitatus. Then there was the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the financial crisis of 9/11/2008. This led to discovery of massive foreclosure fraud and evidence of a nationwide land grab as well as an ongoing attack on America's middle class and their assets.
With last but not least the utter and intentional destruction of the Gulf coast of the United States and the death of its ecosystem, the court of last resort has shown its true colors by protecting no one but the criminals.
The diversion of a fraction of American tax dollars to retirement funds or highway funds might have been warranted, however the bulk of that money has obviously been misappropriated or the economy wouldn't be bankrupt while many of the big corporations, the big banks, and Wall Street bankers are richer than King Solomon.
How is it possible that the government is bankrupt and trillions of dollars in debt, which taxpayers have been told is their responsibility to pay back? How is it possible when these CAFR accounts speak for themselves as diabolical efforts continue to squeeze citizens for every last dime they possess? Who are" the people" that are doing this anyway?
"Cicero said, "A nation can survive its fools & even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known & he carries his banners openly. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of govt. itself. For the traitor appears not traitor: He speaks in the accents familiar to his victims & he wears their face & their garments & he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation. He works secretly & unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city; he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared"
Since U.S. and British intelligence and corporate partnerships are involved in non stop meddling in sovereign governments and the occupation of other countries for financial gain, Socialist seems too tame a word for it. Mussolini called the unholy marriage between government and corporatism, "Fascism"!
What is evident is the fact that nothing ever gets better no matter who is in office. Therefore it seems likely that there is only one party in control of the government!" It is made up of both parties, and they are run by the same cabal which is in essence the "American Fascist Party". They control the ones who have always been quite happy to be unduly influenced. They use their congressional proxies and their multinational corporations as tools of tyranny and they have always had a conflict of interest.
Moreover they are the same people who have an ongoing interest in creating conflict for profit and control. We have had many warnings regarding the ultimate plans of perhaps the most profligate of the group, the "International Bankers." Their ultimate goal is stated in the following excerpt from The Bankers Association Magazine of 1924.
"Capital must protect itself in every possible way, both by combination and legislation. Debts must be collected, mortgages foreclosed as rapidly as possible. When through the process of law the common people lose their homes, they will become more docile and more easily governed through the strong arm of government applied by a central power of wealth under leading financiers. These truths are well known among our principal men who are now engaged in forming imperialism to govern the world. By dividing the voter through the political party system we can get them to expend their energies in fighting for questions of no importance. It is thus by discreet action we can secure for ourselves that which has been so well planned and so successfully accomplished. "
