THE COLONIZATION OF AMERICAN'S
 As of late on a number of blogs, I have noticed that there are some individuals in the United States which gloat and brag about the greatness of the United States. As if it has the right, like it's earlier counter-European parts to move with force at will to continue a process of the colonization of the Third World (made so, the "Third World," by the rapacious exploitation of the First World).
You hear almost every ignorant orientalist quip known to man on the blogs. Like it should be a well known fact of how "backward and barbaric" these countries are in comparison to the "civilized and advanced" Euro-American alliance. In fact, in the United States many times, it seems like some have a view that belongs back in the 19th century - this is what regression creates.
Yet all the while as the years have passed they (Americans and others) do not seem to recognize the fact that they are the objects of a slow and quiet colonization. As their rights recede and their options decrease with the passing of time they are caught in a maze of never ending repetitive cycles that are called the "real life," the epitome of existence supposedly available on the planet.
Of course, there was no violence - except in the periods when people were more democratically minded, and tried to rearrange the landscape to benefit the people. However, those days seem to be a thing of the past, and now they just dance to a beat of a different drum, or should I say sleep. So this colonization has taken place, and the masses of people have literally been subjugated - convinced that all of this is for their own good.
 It happened slowly but surely, first there were these "findings" in the written Constitution, and these wise lawyers saw that the 16th Amendment just did not apply to the Black population - no, it was also true of corporations, that they were persons worthy of the same and even greater rights (eventually) than the organic people. So corporations grew with rapidity, and further rulings (findings) of limited liability.
People were told that it was only natural for these corporations to grow, from local to regional, than to national, and finally international - global. At times people became restless, but their "representatives" in the government that was supposed to be for the benefit of the people ruled in favor for the corporations, and put down the peoples resistance in the form of unions -after all, corporations have rights you know!
 People were told that their only interest should be the accumulation of things, and the joke was coined - "he who dies with the most toys wins." So that we see people roaming mindlessly through malls, getting a god portion of things they do not need, with money they do not have, that they will be spending a good portion of their life paying the interest alone.
They wake up in the morning to their daily routines, rolling out of bed, doing their three S's (shit, shower, shave) drinking their coffee. As they leave they enter the overcrowded freeways inching along through traffic jams, etc. Because you know, "this is the way of life, the good life." However, slowly but surely the corporations begin to own everything - and everything that the people are supposed to desire is attached to the omnipresent corporations.
The people eat, sleep, drink corporations - they listen to corporations on the radios, they see them on TV. The corporations have it all, in fact, you could say the corporations are the NEW "WE THE PEOPLE." The politicians only listen to the monied elite, and they come astride of a corporation. The courts listen to the corporations, and always rule for them.
The "natives" are not listened to any longer, after all, they have been colonized by the corporations. Now the corporations get all of the hard earned money of the people, and the people they just get less and less. Only the people who sit atop the corporations are allowed to get ahead and grow, after all the people are only the colonized masses and the corporations are their masters.
The people protest and are enraged, but nothing is done. Everything is now owned by the corporations, at any time they can attach to the organic persons possessions and take them away. The commons are being privatized (just like in the Third World), which is just another name for giving over vital resources - both material and human - over to the corporations.
Yet while all of this takes place the people yell - "God bless America!" Their representatives say they have to go to war with the people "over there to protect them," and the people cheer them on! Somehow they derive a symbiotic sense of power crushing other people who have been proclaimed to be their enemy. AS ALL OF THIS TAKES PLACE THE ONE THEY DO NOT REALIZE IS THAT THEY HAVE BEEN COLONIZED, THEY ARE REALLY NO DIFFERENT THAN THEIR "LESS FORTUNATE" CREATED ENEMIES, THEY JUST HAVE DELUSIONS THAT THEY ARE FREE, BETTER, AND THEY ARE THE "GREATEST!" WHAT A TRAGEDY.

fill like parachutes
windows go rushing by.
People inside,
dressed for the funeral in black and white.
These ties strangle our necks, hanging in the closet,
trapped in the cubicle;
without a name, just numbers, on the resume stored in the mainframe, marked for delete.
Please take these hands,
throw them in the river,
wash away the things they never held
please take these hands,
throw me in the river,
don't let me drown before the work day ends.
9 to 5! 9 to 5!
And we're up to our necks,
drowning in the seconds,
ingesting the morning commute
lost in a dead subway sleep,
we lie wide awake in our parents beds,
tossing and turning.
Tomorrow we'll get up
drive to work,
single file
with every day
like it's last.
Waiting for the life to start, is it always just always ahead of the curve?
Please take these hands
throw them in the river,
wash away the things they never held
please take these hands,
throw me in the river,
don't let me drown before the workday ends.
Just keep making copies
of copies
of copies
when will it end?
It'll never end,
'til it gets so bad
that the ink fills in our fingerprints
and the silhouette of your own face becomes the black cloud of war
and even in our dreams we're so afraid the weight will offset who we are
all those breaths that you took have now been canceled in your lungs.
Last night my teeth fell out like ivory typewriter keys
and all the monuments and skyscrapers burned down and filled the sea.
save our ship
the anchor is part of the desk
we can't cut free,
the water is flooding the decks
the memos sent through the currents
computers spark like flares
I can see them.
They don't touch me,
touch me.
Please someone,
teach me how to swim.
please, don't let me drown,
please don't let me drown.
(when you are done listen to the song again, or read this as you listen)

I'm amazed at any American who can gloat and brag about how great America is now.
America is in a bloody mess! In real trouble.
Those who choose to ignore this FACT have an enormous wake-up call.
Have you ever thought that history is repeating itself? Countries like China, India, Thailand..countries which are now poor, and have been so for hundreds of years..perhaps we'll not include ALL of China, as part of it IS rising these days. . these countries we in the West call "third World" have actually been over-developed, and have had their resources sucked to the marrow..
What do you suppose is happenning in the United States? And having a domino effect with its trading partner to the North... Canada..although our population and growth rate is not as fast, our cities are over-crowded, we're losing green space in residential areas, and our manufacturing jobs have headed where? ::: China, India, Thailand, Cambodia...
As the middle class disappears in North America, and the gap between the "haves" and "have nots" grows wider by the week, as another manufacturing plant or mill shuts down...corporations need only look to the very countries they're re-locating their "grub work" to see what they are doing to North America!! | |
