I could go on and on about what a sham all of our “institutions” have become after this:

The Origins of the Overclass
By Steve Kangas
The wealthy have always used many methods to accumulate wealth, but it was not until the mid-1970s that these methods coalesced into a superbly organized, cohesive and efficient machine. After 1975, it became greater than the sum of its parts, a smooth flowing organization of advocacy groups, lobbyists, think tanks, conservative foundations, and PR firms that hurtled the richest 1 percent into the stratosphere.
The origins of this machine, interestingly enough, can be traced back to the CIA. This is not to say the machine is a formal CIA operation, complete with code name and signed documents. (Although such evidence may yet surface — and previously unthinkable domestic operations such as MK-ULTRA, CHAOS and MOCKINGBIRD show this to be a distinct possibility.) But what we do know already indicts the CIA strongly enough. Its principle creators were Irving Kristol, Paul Weyrich, William Simon, Richard Mellon Scaife, Frank Shakespeare, William F. Buckley, Jr., the Rockefeller family, and more. Almost all the machine’s creators had CIA backgrounds.
During the 1970s, these men would take the propaganda and operational techniques they had learned in the Cold War and apply them to the Class War. Therefore it is no surprise that the American version of the machine bears an uncanny resemblance to the foreign versions designed to fight communism. The CIA’s expert and comprehensive organization of the business class would succeed beyond their wildest dreams. In 1975, the richest 1 percent owned 22 percent of America’s wealth. By 1992, they would nearly double that, to 42 percent — the highest level of inequality in the 20th century.
How did this alliance start? The CIA has always recruited the nation’s elite: millionaire businessmen, Wall Street brokers, members of the national news media, and Ivy League scholars. During World War II, General “Wild Bill” Donovan became chief of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the forerunner of the CIA. Donovan recruited so exclusively from the nation’s rich and powerful that members eventually came to joke that “OSS” stood for “Oh, so social!”
Another early elite was Allen Dulles, who served as Director of the CIA from 1953 to 1961. Dulles was a senior partner at the Wall Street firm of Sullivan and Cromwell, which represented the Rockefeller empire and other mammoth trusts, corporations and cartels. He was also a board member of the J. Henry Schroeder Bank, with offices in Wall Street, London, Zurich and Hamburg. His financial interests across the world would become a conflict of interest when he became head of the CIA. Like Donavan, he would recruit exclusively from society’s elite.

The Origins of the Overclass http://www.huppi.com/kangaroo/L-overclass.html
By the 1950s, the CIA had riddled the nation’s businesses, media and universities with tens of thousands of part-time, on-call operatives. Their employment with the agency took a variety of forms, which included:
Leaving one’s profession to work for the CIA in a formal, official capacity. Staying in one’s profession, using the job as cover for CIA activity. This undercover activity could be full-time, part-time, or on-call. Staying in one’s profession, occasionally passing along information useful to the CIA. Passing through the revolving door that has always existed between the agency and the business world.
Historically, the CIA and society’s elite have been one and the same people. This means that their interests and goals are one and the same as well. Perhaps the most frequent description of the intelligence community is the “old boy network,” where members socialize, talk shop, conduct business and tap each other for favors well outside the formal halls of government.
Many common traits made it inevitable that the CIA and Corporate America would become allies. Both share an intense dislike of democracy, and feel they should be liberated from democratic regulations and oversight. Both share a culture of secrecy, either hiding their actions from the American public or lying about them to present the best public image. And both are in a perfect position to help each other.
How? International businesses give CIA agents cover, secret funding, top-quality resources and important contacts in foreign lands. In return, the CIA gives corporations billion-dollar federal contracts (for spy planes, satellites and other hi-tech spycraft). Businessmen also enjoy the romantic thrill of participating in spy operations. The CIA also gives businesses a certain amount of protection and privacy from the media and government watchdogs, under the guise of “national security.” Finally, the CIA helps American corporations remain dominant in foreign markets, by overthrowing governments hostile to unregulated capitalism and installing puppet regimes whose policies favor American corporations at the expense of their people.
The CIA’s alliance with the elite turned out to be an unholy one. Each enabled the other to rise above the law. Indeed, a review of the CIA’s history is one of such crime and atrocity that no one can reasonably defend it, even in the name of anticommunism. Before reviewing this alliance in detail, it is useful to know the CIA’s history of atrocity first.

Even the most simplistic experiment in the most controlled environment like dropping a single droplet of fluid into a bowl of fluid, every variable is equal, even that would not produce the exact same result that is scientific fact. The independent actions of two different airplanes hitting two different world trade center buildings at two different times would cause precisely the same result, that is impossible. Even light waves or photons can not go back in time.

“Bush’s faith-based initiative was conceived to be the centerpiece of his administration’s domestic agenda, spearheading the final attack on the New Deal and the War on Poverty by replacing, not augmenting, federal social services.”

Sara Palin is the creation of “Bush’s faith-based initiative” Sara Palin is not qualified to shovel shit. The point I am trying to get at is that every second of broadcast time that is wasted or controlled that second can never be regained. As the main stream media waste hours of broadcast time on Sara Palin or what ever topic de jour is chosen then vital information is lost. Let’s draw a correlation using an economic down turn as you’re bases; the component that is permanently lost and can never be replaced is lost productivity time the same thing has been occurring with main stream media broadcast time.

Below is a link of the Fortune 500 companies from 1955 – 2005 if you peruse through it you will see and industry sector that dominates the upper 4% consistently for 50 years.

That industry in all senses is the United States of America, those two are synonymous. We the People are just an inconvenience to this relationship, which is just the reality. We need to understand that broadcast media is a dying industry and there is no useful value left in the broadcast cast media; it is in such disarray that are all battling for the 20% of the delusional Trojan horse demographics.

No one wastes time with you guys anymore.

It has been proved.

What has ALSO been proved is most of you guys still ranting “prove it ” about this any other well proven facts like the stolen elections of 2000 and 2004 either are

1.paid or unpaid propaganda people who don’t even really believe what you write in places like this or

2. are frankly too ignorant for anyone to care if you are ever truly in possession of the truth becuase there is likely little good you could do with it.

You are permanently on the short bus and no one can help you to get off.
Accept it. You will always be ignorant. You don’t have the capacity to learn. We can’t help you.

And you are so uncaring about others that noone cares about you anymore.

Who here doesn’t believe that Bush/Cheney lied to the American people, to justify the invasion of Iraq? Any more evidence supporting this, as I’m positive there is, and we should be allowed the right to slap Pelosi for not allowing impeachment on the table. Freaking Democratic House speakers.

Evidence like this should be printed and distributed, as I’m doing now.
