Reply #19: What if we focused instead on the real players behind the politicians... [View All]

-those entities who are backing both parties and benefiting by keeping this house divided so it can't stand together - then it would be easier to come together. I'm speaking of course of corporations. The msm can't be relied on to inform, as Assange and others have made clear. And our courts and voting apparatus are also corrupted. So social media and local efforts from the grassroots is the only means of collective change. If you'll recall, the mission is to drown the government and then fill the power gap through corporate control. BOTH parties have a hand in this shift of power and are bent on privatizing. The corporate model, no matter how benign their claims and stated intentions, is not a democratic system. Corporations are by nature profit driven hierarchies with minimal or no mechanism for input or shared power.

By the way, the kind of divisiveness that feeds their plan is very much in evidence at DU. We have to get past the "us vs. them" mentality and broaden our understanding and perspective on how we have become pawns in our own destruction. By changing our own perspectives and activities and refusing to buy into their model, we become powerful and self sustaining.
