The Oligarch will win.
My heart goes out to Wisconsin, and they may win this yet. But time is to the Republican's advantage. Recalls take a long time.
Too many other states are getting their Unions crushed. And even though the Oligarch will fail in some states, the Oligarch will have fewer targets to concentrate their unfettered billions on in the future. Oligarch money fueled Public Relations firms controlling the media will have little opposition to their candidate and issue messaging.
Robocop in Michigan
More after the fold.
So many bad things in this Michigan Emergency bill though some with good intentions. Union busting. Town busting. Vague. Interpretations that it could allow corporations to liquidate townships' assets to recoup moneys owed. Theoretically take over townships. Like in Robocop. Corporate owned towns. But with the best MBAs, lawyers and actuaries to maximize profit from the town and it's citizens.
How about this: SCOTUS declares bribing corporations to avoid competition legal.
It is a tax imposed by monopolistic corporations with a Republican SCOTUS get out of jail free card. More accumulation of money.
Show me the money. Top 400 assets near total of bottom half. That is well over a trillion not including continued income in their war chest. How could they and their corporations not buy the government for guaranteed profit! It would be against their self interest if they did not.
President Obama cannot save us. Not without destabilizing the country. President Obama orders but nothing happens. Please think about what this means very carefully. I also want to smack all the "President Obama should make what I want happen with his magic wand" idiots.
We might have a chance if we had heroes in the MSM, but there are but a few. Far too few. And it is far too controlled. Even the few heroes we have do not penetrate the Oligarch media wall. The Oligarchs have bribed, rented and own enough media and media influence to get their 51%. Down to the smallest newspaper and 5 watt radio station.
If the Republican officials get slightly out of goose step, this happens. Tea Party primaried. Do you think reasonable Republicans will reverse course to save the country? It does not matter, the Oligarch has obedient radicals to replace them.
Will the Tea Party wake up and join us against the Oligarch? The Tea Party has interventionists to prevent strays. I wonder what happens to those that refuse to return to the herd.
Even the most outback discussion groups have paid poster(s) to check and then convince or at least confuse the facts on any favored issue. Or just to throw in how they hate the Socialist President Obama.
CIA/FBI? Back in the Nixon days I heard they were already "fully involved." G. Gordon Liddy anyone?
I also want to remind you that during the Bush years every level of government was penetrated. Every branch. Every level. Including the military though that has been going on a long time.
MSM, compromised government/civil service, Republican Party, Tea Party, purchased Democrats and the megabucks of the Oligarchs make an insurmountable combination.
Will the World Wide Web save us? Net Neutrality. They will filter out any unapproved message. And most will not even notice.
Hillary Clinton once said there was a vast right wing conspiracy. I think she was vastly underestimating how many are involved and the depth of planning. The Republicans always said it was a war. We just did not believe they would leave out the "what is best for the country" part.
It's over. It is not if it will happen, it is what will you do?
NOTE: I hope you forgive me for taking so much license but the vast majority of you mentally listed many more things that would support my premise.
