Another great article from the Existentialist Cowboy, one which hits the nail perfectly on the head. The most obvious thing in the world is that we are involved in a class war with a social elite who would just as soon enslave us for a profit as call us fellow countrymen.
The charade is over. The obscenely wealthy conspire against everyone else, fascism simply becomes their method of choice.
From the article:
The 'Conspiracy of Rich Men' That Threatens the Peace, the World and the EnvironmentAmerica is ruled and held hostage by a fascist 'corporatocracy', what Sir Thomas More would have called 'conspiracy of rich men procuring their own commodities under the name and title of the commonwealth'.
