A Scathing Expose of Politics, Greed, and Religion; AN UNHOLY TRINITY

This essay at first glance appears to be about religion. It is about religion only as its perversion is used to steal America from the people. It is a scathing expose of the strategies being used by politics, corporations and religion to steal America, and ultimately the world, for themselves. It is working 100%, with our president in collusion and rubberstamping their every move.

For one -ONE - small example how the fundamentalist religionists of the Unholy Three use their partners to exercise control over the citizen's morals and health, see Granny's post below on 05/08/2006 "More on the Fundamentalists..."

A TIME FOR HERESY

Don't read it and weep. READ IT AND FIGHT!! WE MUST TAKE BACK OUR NATION.

EXCERPTS:

"The corporate, political and religious right converged in a movement that...no one understood because they are its advocates, its architects, and its beneficiaries.

"Their ECONOMIC STRATEGY was to cut workforce and wages, scour the globe for even cheaper labor and relieve investors of any responsibility for the cost of society...[ emphasis mine; and hasn't this happened with outsourcing and offshoring, with encouraging illegal immigration in order to exploit vulnerable laborers to work cheaply with no benefits, and to undercut citizen labor expectations and demands?]

"Their POLITICAL STRATEGY was to neutralize the independent media, create their own propaganda machine with a partisan press, and flood their coffers with rivers of money...from the transfer of public resources to elite control..burden the nation with structured deficits [that several generations of taxpayers will be repaying] ...stripping government of its capacity...to do little more than wage war and reward privilege. [ The independent press is under attack in attempts to shut them down and undermine their credibility; control of the internet will efectively silence online publications and bloggers; passing threatened laws charging dissenters with treason will silence everyone but brave martyrs. Waging wars brings control of the world's most essential energy source - oil, leads to world domination, and enriches Big Business and the Industrial Complex beyond their wildest dreams. ]

"Their RELIGIOUS STRATEGY was to fuse ideology and theology into a world view...claim for America the status of God's favored among nations ( and therefore beyond political critique) [for who will oppose God's will?] and demonize their opponents as ungodly and immoral. [ Hasn't Pat Robertson and other religious leaders including Houston's own beloved Joel labeled Islam as an evil, murderous religion? The whole world must ultimately accept the fundamentalist sect's religious views, or else.]

"At the intersection of these three strategies was ...Big Money. "
