Call them the 'Predator Class'

 

We crawl,
they ride
on our backs.

Corruption
at every level....
the wedding of
corporations
and government. 

Endless war machine,
insurance companies, 
Big Pharma (with all their commercials),
Big agri-biz, 
GMO's,
Big media,
Hollywood and Vegas.

The aerospace/planetary colonizer gang, 
auto/road building industries,
resource extraction corps, 
porn & drug lords,
oil/nuclear fat cats, 
AI & robots.

duplicitous Congress
and gold covered White House.

All funded by
AIPAC, Wall Street
and donations 
from Mr. Big.

Squeezing the juice out of us,
all natural life in danger,
can't drink the water,
can't afford to 
suck in the air.

The predators
are here,
closing in,
gorging
and spitting
life out.

Label it nihilism
in action. 

Predators are paid 
to 'thin the herd'.
And many of them
take great pleasure
in doing so.

We see 
how they control Washington
and most western capitals?

Got it locked down 
inside those 
hollowed halls of predation.

Please help save us
from this squeeze.

Don't let them divide us.

Stop the predator class.

You can smell
their dirty money.
Beware.

Love y paz,

Bruce

If you look at the total amount of money pumped into Ukraine since 2022, it's approximately $360 billion [many observers  believe the Ukraine funding number is well over $500 b]. According to my calculations, the corruption component of this sum is somewhere between 15-30%. Perhaps closer to 30%. That's exactly how much American aid was stolen in Afghanistan. There, corruption was exactly 30%. I think it's about the same with Ukraine. And that's a lot of money. Even at the minimum, 15%, the thieves pocketed $54 billion. And at 30%, that's $108 billion. It's not cheap!

"the wedding of corporations and government"
That is the classic definition of Fascism.
I just finished a giant transcript of a very erudite discussion between Dirk Pohlmann, Dr. Ola Tunander, and host Pascal Lottaz. The series is called "Neutrality Studies."
They examine in great detail the "other" aspect of this marriage made in Hell, that of blackmailing or exposing opponents of their larcenous policies, if that is possible. The alternative is a very professional assassination, with no convenient way to place blame.
