READER'S VIEW BY ROBERT B. MURRAY

The story of America, when finally written, will be one of a people struggling to go from rags to riches, and of the few who rose to the top and destroyed the rest. All the rhetoric about a nation of opportunity is merely fiction for most. In order to rise to the highest levels one's ambition must be greater than the love for our fellow man or country. One has to abandon all ethics, morals, and commit to a secular god of greed and power.

Mega-corporations, led by intertwined individuals, define the rules how nations will act and the amount they must pay. These individuals control the aspiring novices and only allow the most dedicated to rise from the local level. As these youngsters are impregnated with the rules, and then show their loyalties to the cause, they may advance. Importantly they must be willing to embrace the very essence of "getting-ahead", i. e. complete obedience to economic growth regardless of consequence. It is the amount that one can bring to the coffers that matters, regardless of how achieved, or whether the result is detrimental to man or his environment. The end, acquiring and amassing wealth, justifies the means.

Blindly our nation has turned over it's leadership to incompetents, or perhaps more accurately, willing partisans eager to gain both favor of their bosses and financial benefit. By these miscreants, and with help from the mighty nine Black Robes, Lincoln's words have been transformed into "of the corporation, by the corporation, and for the corporation." We the people have been cast aside and relieved of our Constitutional status.

These misanthropes find hate in Madison's words "That government is instituted and ought to be exercised for the benefit of the people." Now, they see the only purpose for the people, is to provide the wherewithal so that government can fulfill the needs of global corporations. Therefore, Congress writes the laws following the dictates of corporations. When satisfied the corporation will benefit, Congress meets to bestow their blessings. The Constitution is gladly abused, set-aside, or ignored by government if it does not conform to the wishes of those who stand to gain and have the power to control the outcome. How do we know, by none other than that authority Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who explains "In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way."

Can we say that innocently, without malice, global corporations are victims of a world-wide crash of markets, lending institutions etc.? Here we are bailing out international banks, auto giants, and other world wide conglomerates, why? The answer B. Hussein Obama has given you, via Joe the Plumber, "To redistribute the wealth." What he didn't tell Joe it was to continue the Bush doctrine of taking from the poorer and giving to the richer. What easier way to institute the corporate elite plan of a new world order; destroy America by making us dependent on foreign nations.

"As Henry Kissinger recently put it, when he was celebrating U.S.-China relations on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, Obama's mission is to usher in a "New World Order." He forgot to mention, of course, that it is a China-dominated New World Order in which the U.S. has become a subsidiary of China, Inc.," (www.newswithviews.com/Kincaid/cliff288.htm).

If you doubt, investigate for yourself the interconnectedness of Obama's team, Geithner, Volcker, Summers et al., and their worldly views and whom they truly represent. And you think Obama will bring change and hope?

Are you confident that our federal and state governments have your interests at heart?
