What more time-honored practice in the long history of state sponsored
servitude than the institutionalization of prisoners? Incarceration for offenses against government laws is a cornerstone
for power and survivability of any regime. Prisons may have been hellholes over the centuries, but seldom has the internment
of convicted lawbreakers been a growth industry for private profit. It almost makes one wonder exactly who are the crooks.
While most hard-pressed citizens want a safe and secure society, few ever give even a passing thought to the insatiable corporatist
criminalization of the criminal justice system. Just how many Americans agree with the proposition, if you did the crime,
you need to serve the time.
Take off your partisan hat and open
your minds to the actual uninterrupted high treason that is part of the foreign policy establishment. Party politics is often
just a show that plays to their respective bases. However, the tract and direction of extending the transnational empire just
continues on a global scale. The full-blown treason committed by every administration that practices the internationalist
vision of democracy domination is really a masquerade for worldwide dominion. Presidents are mere temporary talking heads
for the oligarchy that actually rules. Murdering their own diplomats and hired help is incidental, when 1,455,590 Iraqi deaths since the U.S. invasion are ignored and dismissed.
independence is the intrinsic nature of the human condition
Human Liberty Is Doomed
Any discussion on liberty presupposes an understanding of human nature. Today, the utter
confusion and distorted mindset of humankind, relegates animal instincts, as the premier motivation for salacious existence.
The criteria for a cordial civilization have long been "consigned to the dustbins of history". Standards for civil
and moral conduct are debased by a global disintegration to achieve the ‘good’ for the hunt of acting ‘nice’.
Polite and pleasant facades are no substitute for truth and meaning. Yet, the heights of evil transactions seem to be hailed
routinely, as the only achievement that power hungry sociopaths aspire to impose on the rest of the planet. Never-ending conflict
is inherent in the human condition, while the state of liberty is unusual and resides within the character of the ethical
spirit.
Now that the financial hype
is celebrating a new all time high in the stocks, the time to exit the market may well be at hand. So what will that Oracle
of Omaha do with all the insider information available from his compadre network? The business press swoons all over Warren
Buffett with every report, while only a few intrepid journalists would dare write about the dark side of Wall Street’s
favorite equity cheerleader. The guru of sweet heart deals floats in the rarified air of a political cronyism ongoing honeymoon.
So what is likely for his Berkshire Hathaway flagship company now that the ticker is breathing on pure oxygen?
If you listen to the alarm
coming out of the imperium empire media, you would think that missiles would be flying at any moment. That medieval torture
regime noted for starving their population is boasting that a bellicose attack is imminent. Of course, their propagandists
are pointing the finger at the Yankee bully that is the perennial bogyman posed to snuff out the Democratic People's Republic
of Korea. Such an earthly paradise is billed as a “genuine workers' state in which all the people are completely liberated
from exploitation and oppression. The workers, peasants, soldiers and intellectuals are the true masters of their destiny
and are in a unique position to defend their interests.”
Only a media masochist
can stand watching network and cable TV news. The extent of self-immolation coming out of their broadcasts, have seldom been
more vivid, with their bizarre reports on the Boston Marathon bombing. If one did not know better, the comparison with the
Marx Brothers antics would have you believe that you have a ringside seat At the Circus. Silly behavior is the mainstay of
the mainstream media. Real news investigation has long ago been relegated to the archives of a half century ago, when there
was at least a small measure of a healthy distrust of government sources. Today the clowns that act as ventriloquist dummies
have more in common with Karl Marx than Groucho.
Historically, what separated American
society from most other countries was a healthy distrust of government and a tradition of civil liberties. The Bill of Rights
is a unique safeguard embodied within the constitutional structure of a road map for governmental restraint. One of the most
important restrictions placed upon the police powers of the central government is exemplified in Posse Comitias. The militarization
of domestic law enforcement is fundamentally in conflict with individual rights and natural law.
The
condition of society in the 21st century has a pronounced fear of individual freedom. The relevance of Sartre’s philosophy
remains intact because we desperately need a counterweight to a world that promotes dictatorial compliance. As a seminal thinker
and most celebrated existential proponent, Sartre stirred a post World War II generation to view their existence from a non-traditional
perspective that caused extensive establishment criticism and apprehension. The liberation and awareness celebration that
distinguishes the realization of personal freedom during the 1960’s counter culture revolution owes a debt of gratitude
to the French philosopher.
