Call me a conspiracist.

But most revolutions in history were caused by mass food shortages.

Right now the IRS coupled with the Federal Reserve control and rule America.

We put up with their scam because we have plenty of food, We have pizza and football to keep us distracted. It’s the same scheme that kept Rome going with their bread and circuses.

As far as I am concerned the republicans and the democrats are two sides of the same ruling mafia. The real rulers of this country are the ones that can create moeny out of thin air and then say that inflation is ‘contained’.

We are paying more for everything, housing, gas, medical, etc. Paying more for just about everything except food.

If tomorrow we started to pay more for food the way we have to pay more for other necessities, there would be a massive revolt aimed straight at the imcumbents.

We have an aristocracy called Congress controlled by ruling oligarchs. Most of our so-called representatives are chosen by moneyed power brokers who are members of the oligarch network. The few representatives that are independent are either in rural or heartland districts or they are oddballs that are removed when the oligarchs feel they need more controlling share.

I know I am accurate here. I have a friend, an accomplished attorney who ran for Congress. He was told by the local power broker that he would not be ‘chosen’. He also said that power brokers ‘choose’ people to be members of the aristocracy.

He said they don’t control every district and they don’t have to. Like owning enough stock in a company to have a controlling interest, power brokers need only control a certain number of representatives in Congress.

That’s the way it is. And if you think about it for less than a minute you know it’s true.

Keep the masses sedated with food access and they keep their hold on power. Every other complaint is just a complaint that goes nowhere. A full belly is not going to complain too passionately about much else. But complaints about not enough food leads to upheaval.

So bring in and keep the Mexicans working in the fields. Keep the food prices low. Keep Americans fat in front of their TVs.

You are right on the money with that description. I wish more people would realize it.

I’ve often thought the “closeness” in which some measures pass or fail was too close far too often to have been anything but staged to look as if “work” had been done.

I now realize the federal government no longer represents the people of America, that those “elected” are less deserving of Americans’ respect than a DC bum.
