The Tattlesnake — The Corrupt Bastards Club Edition

Filed under: Commentary,News,Opinion — RS Janes @ 7:45 am

“One-tenth … run the world. One-tenth watch them run it, and the other eighty percent don’t know what the hell’s going on.”
– Jake Simmons, an American industrialist.

“Capitalism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone.”
– John Maynard Keynes

“In the 1980s capitalism triumphed over communism. In the 1990s it triumphed over democracy.”
– David Korten

It was right there on the grainy video aired on PBS’ “Now” Nov. 23rd, a bunch of good ol’ white Oil Boys up in Alaska snickering like bullies at recess at their successful bribery of the state’s politicians to get their way. The head of this fetid crew was Bill Allen of VECO Corp., who even went so far as to have ballcaps printed up with “CBC” on the back to pass out to his pet lawmakers, a little private joke between them as “CBC” stood for “Corrupt Bastards Club.” If you want to see what the heads of corporations, much of our national media, and many in Congress really think of democracy and the ‘peasantry’ they rule — the 80 percent of the US population they habitually deceive and cheat — watch the video, it says it all; it is the blubbery sneering “I own you!” face of greed and abusive power, the secular evil that is destroying America from the inside out.
