The evidence is overwhelming & irrefutable. There are two Americas. One America, comprising some 80-90% of the population—serfs, peasants, indentured slaves, all—are OWNED by the other 10-20%, comprising a population of the wealthiest, dominantly white Americans—an uncaring, unscrupulous, immoral & homicidal class of Homosapien if ever there was one. Proofs of two Americas? They are everywhere. Here are but a few. - Proof - This week, the Democratic-controlled House Armed Services Committee shamelessly and quietly passed, without rancor or vigorous debate, a $750 billion military spending bill that included amendments of the most grotesque kind. The bill will without doubt pass the full house and senate, then be signed by the White Outhouse in the same harmonious manner. This without even a hint of military threat upon America’s sovereign borders, and while most of the world’s nations increase spending to secure the health of their citizens in the face of the very real threat COVID-19 represents. So, who are the beneficiaries of this bipartisan largesse? Some of the wealthiest companies in America--the Satanic inspired military industrial complex--with their overpaid CEOs, who, themselves, rake in their 10s of millions of unearned benefits. Large sums of this military spending and CEO bounties will come right back into the pockets of these congressional bi-partisans in the form of campaign contributions and cushy after-office positions on boards of directors—that’s after all the insider trading tips they get while in office. Talk about money laundering! Congress is little more than a legalized money laundering corruption racket. Don’t talk to me about job creation. This is no way to earn a living: creating weapons of mass destruction meant to main and kill, as often as not innocent people. America’s rich ruling elite is a class determined to reign with blood and horror over every corner of the earth. A job market built on blood and horror only succeeds in corrupting the morals of the peasantry slaving away for the plantation owners. Proof of this, too, is everywhere. Meanwhile, congress remains too mean to provide renters and homeowners with rent and mortgage relief. Talk about twisted priorities. But, then again, renters and homeowners don’t line lawmakers’ pockets with money. They only vote, stupidly, if they are lucky enough to escape the GOP voter suppression conspiracy, i.e., if they are white wealthy suburbanites. This is but one example of the two Americas. One for the rich power brokers, and one for the masses. - Proof - Then there is the stock market—little more than a casino in which America’s rich vultures play roulette—a market that, notwithstanding its recent ups and down, is nearly completely recovered since the early days of the COVID epidemic. Talk about black magic. Any stock market that can go up by hundreds of points a day at the same time that millions of working Americans are jobless and states are shutting down once more, producing yet millions more unemployed, is utterly divorced from the real life of all but the tiniest sliver of America’s citizens. Here, as everywhere else, there are two Americas… two economies. In one America, working people lose jobs and health care. Renters are forcibly evicted from their rentals with the assistance of ‘law enforcement.” Homeowners are dispossessed of their homes, while all the money they have paid into their mortgage goes to wealthy banks and, of course, their immoral CEOs. In the other America, the rich play roulette in their Wall Street casinos while they covet and complain about the stale cake crumbs given to their toiling serfs. These crocodile tears, lawmakers hear, rewarding the insatiable yapping of the rich with tax breaks, while these same leaders, feigning “work ethic” moralizing, turn a deaf ear to the very real insecurity and pain of average Americans. - Proof - Many of the right’s unmasked death-cult vampires demand that innocent children go back to a traditional school day. Great. Or it would be if the sociopathic deviant, tRUMP, and his corrupt and inept administration had not lied about and ignored the pandemic from the get-go while, at the same time, refusing to provide local and state governments with accurate information and the financial resources necessary for testing and tracing their infected citizens. tRUMP and his mobocracy have done nothing to lessen the pandemic’s impact—unless, of course, one counts irrational and delusional magical wishing. Now, the ever-wrong right, having adopted tRUMP’s asinine magical world view that the virus will simply disappear and, short of that, it’s a hoax anyway, is prepared to sacrifice innocent children to its rapacious and blood-thirsty capitalistic god. But not all children will be tested in the burning furnace. Only the 80-90% of children that come from the homes of American serfs with be subject to the flames and the unknown future consequences of COVID infection on children. Children of the wealthy, power elite will safely learn at home under the indulgent supervision of expensive private tutors. Additionally, when the question of funding American schools to make them safe for our children in the face of COVID-19—the most dangerous threat America has faced since WWII—comes up in the unhallowed halls of congress, there is and will continue to be no end to the hand wringing rancor and debate. “The cost is too high.” “The deficit!” Save the CEO’s pay, but let the peasant teachers suck air from intubation tubes. Let the children die of multiple organ failure. It’s the price we pay for capitalism’s gods. - Proof - Oh, and while we are on the subject of COVID-19, America, like some two-bit, second-rate, half-baked, “shit-hole” country, to use the stable genius’ language, leads—soon to double the #2 nation—the world in infections (over 3 million) and deaths (approaching 150 thousand). Republicans, especially those of the non-mask-wearing intellectual types, are now killing America citizens at just under a 911 pace every day, day after day. The vast majority of the dead come from the 80-90% serf population—a population that does the real work of America. Meanwhile, the privileged rich, who haven’t earned an honest dollar in their life, “work” safely from their comfy, theft-filled palaces on the speediest of computers with their highest speed internet. - Proof - Roger Stone verses George Floyd Atatianna Jefferson Bothan Jean Alton Sterling Eric Garner Etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc…….. Michael Flynn verses Breonna Taylor Stephon Clark Philando Castille Freddie Gray Akie Gurley Etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc……. In one America—that of the 10-20% privileged, wealthy, nearly-always-white America—a criminal commits blatant crimes, often impacting the lives of millions of the world’s population, and pays no price, suffers no consequence, but is found innocent or has his or her sentence commuted in besmirched court rooms bought by and sold to the highest bidders. In the other America—that of the 80-90% serf population—a innocent victim commits no crime other than not being white and yet dies at the hands of and under the knee of a racist “law enforcement” system that has not advanced beyond its origin charter as slave catchers. Welcome to the two Americas. Unequal in every way imaginable. One class possessing. The other possessed. Now, to be fair, America did not invent inequality. One 19th century leader of the LDS Church, George Q. Cannon, made these astute observations. “… I saw the rich reveling in luxury, crowding upon the poor, crushing out their lives; the poor living in squalor and misery, their lives a burden to them, not having, in many instances, enough food to eat, or raiment to wear, or a shelter, and when winter approached dreading it with feelings indescribable. In society in the world there is a large class of people having more means than they can spend for their comfort and convenience. They have the finest houses, abundance of food, every convenience, troops of servants to wait upon them to do their bidding, and have all the wealth they desire, every luxury they can conceive of. At the same time there are living in the same community thousands of poor creatures destitute of the necessaries of life. My heart has been pained within me in visiting the large cities of Europe, at seeing women degraded like beasts of the field, and their lives continual burdens to them, their existence almost joyless. It has been a wonder to me how people could keep from committing suicide in the midst of the want that was everywhere apparent. I have thought, how can God bear with this people, and the cries of the poor ascending to him continually… “There is an expression used in the prophets, which I have often thought of, about the rich grinding the faces of the poor. It is a most forcible and significant metaphor. The tyranny and oppression that are practiced upon the poor are terrible…. “Men who have reflected, who have read and made themselves acquainted with the histories of other people, know full well that when once wealth increases in the midst of a people, when class distinctions make their appearance, when education is promoted and aspired after by certain classes which other classes cannot reach; when refinement, the refinement of education and culture, has its effects, creating distinctions among a people… and luxurious habits come in to foster these differences, then the strength of former communities has disappeared, and nations which have been noted as possessing the strength and the union of iron, have fallen into decay and have lost their power and have been broken into fragments and have eventually disappeared” (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 17, pp. 232-234). Too bad modern ”Christian” leaders, allowing themselves to be scandalized by the new-fangled “sexual revolution” of the sixties, became obsessed with all things sexual, and have ever since ignored the far more deadly and millennia-long scandal (one instituted by Cain and reveled in by such deviants as tRUMP) : societal inequality in all its varieties. Nope, America only dressed the old whore up in new fashions, utilizing new justifications. It only perfected this art of whoredom. “Capitalism,” she’s called today. Of course, prostitution requires “Johns.” Sadly, America’s aroused John’s were encouraged and empowered by those who claimed the name of Jesus. These sat silent, offering no objection to the whoredom. Actually, come to think of it, like cats in heat, they were too busy humping the whore to offer any critique.
