Snowden Stuck It to the Overclass - For All of Us [View all]

[warrprayer]

There was a guy named Steve Kangas. He wrote an interesting article called "Origins of the Overclass". Steve was a pioneer of the early internet, a former Army intelligence guy and a very early blogger. For his trouble, he was found a few yards away from Richard Mellon Scaifes office in Pittsburgh, dead of gunshot wounds, "self inflicted". (Scaife is the right wing mogul who funded the "Arkansas project, the "great right wing conspiracy" to bring down Bill Clinton.)

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."

"The most obvious criticism of the New Overclass is that their political machine is undemocratic. Using subversive techniques once aimed at communists, and with all the money they ever need to succeed, the Overclass undemocratically controls our government, our media, and even a growing part of academia. These institutions in turn allow the Overclass to control the supposedly "free" market. It doesn't win all the time, of course — witness Bill Clinton's impeachment trial — but it does score an endless string of other victories elsewhere, all to the detriment of workers, consumers, women, minorities and the poor. We need to fight it with everything we've got."

To any D.U.er who thinks Snowden is a TRAITOR... call me bad names, kick me around, but you owe it to yourself to read this - I promise it will change your view of what Snowden is doing. Here is the link -

If you see what I have seen after reading this, you might agree with me that what Snowden has done is avenged the Kennedys, Paul Wellstone, Arron Swartz, and a host of others to numerous to name who have been assassinated or "suicided" in the vicious attempts to subvert our democracy by the overclass. I, for one am grateful. It won't stop them - it might slow them down and ever so hopefully cause the majority to finally open their eyes and realize what is being stolen from them.
