Entire Wisconsin recall in one picture

Mon Jun 4, 2012 3:13 PM EDT

See also the Marquette Law poll (pdf), Question 47, showing a third of Wisconsin voters have stopped talking about politics because of disagreements about the recall or Scott Walker. At least you can still borrow your parents' truck.

Judging by the handwriting, odds are the borrower is female.

Too bad he lives in Scott Walkerstan. Otherwise he could probably afford his own vehicle to decorate with a Tom Barrett sticker.

I wonder if this kid's father left the sign up even after he got his truck back, just so he didn't have to deal with any progressive ire...

We are on the verge of a world domination crisis. This is not some outrageous hyperbole, but a very scary truth. The triumvirate today is the three C's in their power order; Countries, Conglomerates, and Citizens.

Countries are ruled by brutal oppressive powers, or some form of democracy. At the moment the great powers, with the exception of China, are ruled by some form of democracy, but business conglomerates play a a significant role in each.

An oppressive government rules by force, and conglomerates supply the weapons. The conglomerate reaps the benefit of the ruler's purchases. They play the role of benevolent guide to these despots, at a tidy profit of course.

The democracy relies on public elections. In today's era that means advertising to reach the masses, a very expensive proposition. The wealthy owners of the conglomerates supply the biggest share of money to the citizens-politicians. The money is pumped back into a variety of conglomerates involved in these communication businesses. The politicians-schmucks show their appreciation of these conglomerates by enacting laws that benefit the conglomerate over the citizens, and they cut the conglomerates taxes. The irony here; conglomerates supply the money. It is fed back to conglomerates. The laws and tax-cuts enacted by the schmuck-politicians always have a much larger money return that the corporations originally provided.

The conglomerates' power is obvious, but for now it is still not dominant. Country's laws are still dominant. They can break-up companies, and even dissolve them on occasion. Conglomerates realize this to be the current circumstance, temporarily. Conglomerates have already set up a court to shift power from countries to conglomerate businesses, and the countries let them do it! TheWTO rules on world commerce matters, for now. WTO is the final arbiter when the disputes go beyond the mere borders of countries.

The leadership of businesses are not encumbered by term limits. Germany, at the end of World War II, was divided into two countries with totally different forms of government, but Krupp, the steel manufacturer, that designed and built the ovens for the concentration camps remained Krupp. Democracies change leadership continually on a short term basis.

That brings me to a monumental world altering event that will happen tomorrow in Wisconsin. Conglomerates are battling citizens for control of a democratic government. Unions are the only source left to provide money and organization to lowest common denominator of a democracy; the citizens right to be the real source of a democracy's power.

This election, if won by conglomerates, is a gigantic step in the neutralizing democratic governments all over the world. In very shot order, the mask will be ripped from the WTO. It will be replaced by a Global Business Court and the laws of all individual countries will be subordinate.

They created the current world mess. Countries have been making them whole for their losses with the money of citizens who are left with the debt. Now as I am typing they are deliberately stifling business activity to ensure business subservient politicians gain control of the democratic process. Wisconsin elections matter much more than people realize.
