The Bait and Switch

[woo me with science]

51. Lies upon lies upon lies. Yes, bait and switch is the corporate MO.

Used on Madison Avenue, and now used serially by our own government to dupe and exploit its own citizens.

This is the difference between corporate government and representative government. Corporate government operates for profit, within a moral cesspool of deception. The goal is to put one over on us in order to reap as much profit as possible, rather than to fulfill the democratic, moral and ethical imperative of serving as our democratic representatives.

Lies upon lies upon lies.

A pattern of election year speeches brazenly misrepresenting his administration's own behavior.

...That heavily publicized speech about reining in military involvement...followed immediately by Obama's escalations, new wars in Syria and Iraq, funding of the Gaza horror, and a new trillion-dollar nuclear weapons escalation.

....The shameless claim to support net neutrality, while deliberately appointing corporate shills with an opposite agenda.

....Obscene lies about supporting whistleblowers, when we have all witnessed this administration's treatment of Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden, and the relentless, systematic crackdown on whistleblowing in the federal government.

...Highly publicized lies about caring for the environment, while opening the Atlantic for drilling and pushing the malignant TPP.

...Brazen lies and promises to protect the 99 percent, while twisting arms for Cronybus, *more* deregulation of criminal banks, and more predation of the masses by the One Percent.



War is Peace.
Freedom is Slavery.
Ignorance is Strength.
Torturers are Patriots.

We all live in Oceania now.

Corporate government lies for corporate ends. It has contempt for the people and sees us as merely entries in a profit ledger, "human resources" to exploit rather than human citizens to serve. It is savagely amoral and antidemocratic at its core and seeks to dismantle the democratic systems that allow us to protect ourselves from its machinations. We are witnessing the deliberate, malignant destruction of democracy by corporations and their purchased politicians.

Third Way "Democrats" are liars and predators. They are antidemocratic. They are the Wall Street-funded, deliberate infiltration of our party by the corporate predators, working with corporatist Republicans to usher in the dismantling of our democracy itself.
