At Last: A Constitutional Amendment Movement To Restore The American Republic By Repealing “Corporate Personhood”

Thursday, September 29th, 2011

AT LAST!  It’s been a long time coming, but now it’s begun… and it’s not merely coincidental to the numerous and growing “Occupy” movements against Wall Street and the global banks who are bankrupting America and much of the rest of the world.  The goal of both grass roots movements is the same: defeat the corporate state that has emerged in America under the disguise of “representative democracy,” which in the early 21st Century is a government that represents only giant corporations and their interests.

Netanyahu before Congress

One would have thought that perhaps Barack Obama had shucked being the son of George W. Bush after he polished off OBL when W couldn’t, with precise dispatch, boosting domestic militaristic pride, and trying to soothe wounded Pakistani sensitivities.  Then in a well scripted and well staged State Department setting, he dropped his “Cairo II” bomb.  It was a speech which he hoped would “reset” negotiation parameters to settle the Israeli-Palestinian dispute, widely understood to be a major contributor to the myriad Arab rebellions against autocracy in the spring of 2011.  WRONG!!

By Ted Becker

The people’s revolutions of The Middle East (and who knows where next?) continue as March 2011 approaches. They not only persist, they grow.
