Read Confessions of an Economic Hitman, or even Dick Morris’ Outrage. The corporation has long been intermingled with our democracy—look at Irag and Blackburn(?) security. Corporations have always hired their own security to protect assets—in Iraq they serve both the democracy and the corporatocracy, protecting contractors and ambassadors. Illegal immigration—in this day of homeland security we’ve allowed millions of people to cross the border? The corporatocracy needed slaves for profits, people with no recourse to complain or who wouldn’t ask for minimum wage or expensive protections.
Read the board—the moves are all there.

Calling a Spade a Spade/ The Munchhausen Speech.
Thank you Robert Scheer for objecting and correcting Matt Miller when Matt refered to the bailout of Freddie and Fannie Mae and the resulting shifting of costs to the American Public or taxpayer as “socialization’. George Will tried this in his recent column in Newsweek even though he went on to admit with reservations in this same article to the increasing “corporatism” that has taken hold of America. (Even GW is having trouble with his cognitive dissonance.)
Privitising profits and shifting corporate costs to the public taxpayer is by definition pure Mussolini Corporatism or Fascism. (Ralph Nader politely refers to this as Corporate Welfare.) Any TRUE Republican knows and sees this. However, there are very, very, few true republicans left in the name only Republican Party. (I might add there are very, very, few true democrats in the name only Democratic Party as well.)
As for Obama’s “Munich” speech, he gave the Anglo-Dutch Financier Oligarchs and the Neo-Cons what they wanted to hear; more wars (in Afghanistan and Pakistan), acknowledgement of the 9/11 MYTH, continuation of the British colonial system of “free” trade with fairness to all (of the oligarchs), and furtherence down the road to the New World Order and the demise of all soveriegn nation states.
Obama’s three pointer from outside in Kuwait is representative of just how he will “play” the presidency of the United States if he is elected. He will not take it to the basket. He’s an outside shooter and we all know the game cannot be won if there is only one shooter. Someone else will be needed to stand up to the international oligarchs and re-assert the power of the American Republic and the American System of Economics as the founding fathers established and pracised it. Obama will not challenge the corporate takeover of America and the ruling fascists.
In short a very disappointing and disallusioning speech for We the People of the American Republic. This speech may eventualy be refered to as the “Munchhausen” speech.
