about

More targeting the 1% - If you try to raise the issue of class in the mainstream media you get this hysterical accusation of "class warfare", the purpose of which of course is to deflect the conversation… too dangerous, getting to close to the truth of who rules for whose benefit.

Patriotism and religion are also weapons in this "class warfare" for there really is class warfare but it's the 1% warring against the rest of us. The flag and the church help keep the people distracted and divided while in the background the 1% enriches itself. The pundits in the mainstream work for these folks. They're not going to hire commentators who will question the system that serves them so well. I saw a sign recently, sez it pretty well: "Fox News: the rich paying the near rich to blame everything on the poor."

lyrics

Some people take the word God
turn it into somethin like a fishin rod
take somethin don't belong to them
manipulatin the benefit's to them

whether that's money or whether that's power
sex or land or stock it's all other

2.

some people take the word patriotism
turn it into somethin seems like fishin
take somethin twist the meanin
manipulatin the benefit's to them

whether that's money or whether that's power
jobs or jewels or junk it's all other

3.

some people hide the word class
claim it don't exist talkin kinda fast
take somethin stretch it thin
manipulatin the benefit's to him

whether that's money or whether that's power
exclusive membership it's all other
