Attn.: Chair Barbara Boxer
Mdm. Chair and To Whom It May
Concern:
We hereby present a complaint
against the unethical use of rhetoric, with false information that confuses the
public mind and creates bias in favor of vested interests, at the expense of
the public good. We will cite here just one example that is definitive of a
pattern replicated repeatedly; it seems without any critical response. Here is
a typical quotation: "…Two of
the Republican bills sent to the suspense file today (SB 1073 and SB 1074)
authored by Sen. Roy Ashburn (R-Bakersfield), would provide incentives for
businesses to create green jobs or expand the use of alternative energy in
California and reduce the state's unprecedented levels of
unemployment."
The first falsification and
corruption of logic in this statement is the very idea that there can be 100%
employment in a technological society. The second is that “green energy” will somehow solve the issues related to overpopulation,
which are the root causes of our ecological problems. The third is an empty
promise that the federal government, now on the verge of bankruptcy, will be
able to finance these developments, based on what? This type of unethical
repetitive chanting of rhetorical flourishes, with its hypnotic effect on a
society of addicts living in the cosmetic realities created for them by the
media monopolies, is perhaps suitable for theatrical pedagogy, but putting a
spin on the central issues that affect the lives of the entire nation is
completely unacceptable by any ethical measure.
We have here a pathological problem,
this type of chronic spin craft and not enough accurate appraisals of the vital
concerns.
The point is 100% employment, in a
technological society, is an oxymoron, overpopulation makes it even less likely
and the bottom line is that all of the Kyoto Accords and green energy solutions
will not alleviate the ecological Armageddon that overpopulation is causing. We
have previously submitted to the Obama administration, the proposed restoration
of the solution that has been provided to us by nature, that of the universal
distribution of information about the ancestral use of herbal birth control,
like emmenagogues, especially to the poorest
citizens. This however is not the primary focus of this particular critique, in
terms of ethics, it is simply a suggestion that there be more radical “out-of-the-box” thinking, rather than
the persistent chanting of these empty rhetorical versions.
The primary unethical practice we
are addressing here is the continual propagation, of the utopian mythic kitsch concept, that somehow an omnipotent
Uncle Sam will “provide jobs” and
solutions from thin air and without actually changing any of the existing
realities, that are at the root of the problems, is undeniably unacceptable and
basically dishonest.
We are living in an addictive
society, addictions, like the addiction to power, or compulsive spending and debting, that are manufactured by media monopolies,
controlled by disease establishment interests and the result of which, is that
the nation is now on the verge of bankruptcy.
We would argue that it would be more
appropriate to debate the possibilities to dismantle this plutocracy by the
simple taxation of the technology; the elitist “vampire culture” has been using to extract the life essence and
vital resources of its host, the nation, for its own cannibalistic self
aggrandizement. That the money forthcoming from this type of taxation of the
machines of exploitation, such as the “one
armed bandits” in Las Vegas, could then be used to compensate those who
have been displaced by this technology, that should instead be “labor saving “ with a Guaranteed
Livable Income (GLI) and that this circulation alone would reenergize the
economy.
Furthermore when a society of
addicts is in debt, as a direct result of propaganda by the debtors, that it is
arguably ethical to demand a moratorium on such debt as opposed to fabricating
myths about how "business will
create jobs" with capital that now only exists in the hands of the
plutocracy. It is questionable and interesting to see how capital, from this very same plutocracy,
the sole source now, will be ethically used for the development of “green energy” if it is basically derived
in large part from petrochemical gains by corporations in spite of being found
guilty of flagrant violation of anti trust laws, now a century old. This petrochemical technology is only one of
many that has been persistently in violation and protected by continued “double talk” pedagogy. The Media
Monopoly has apparently never been found guilty of these violations.
The technology needs to be governed by the
people for the people. It has been argued that to qualify as anti trust
violation the activity has “…To be
harmful, a trust had to somehow damage the economic environment of its
competitors.” We would argue that the wholesale destruction of a nation’s
economy and its environmental resources would “…somehow damage the economic environment of its competitors.”
It is the responsibility of the
government to protect the people that it serves and of the senate to prompt the
government to do so when it fails to do so. Rhetorical mumbojumboisms
are unethical in this respect. In light of the current pending bankruptcy of
the
The first step in recovery from
addiction is rigorous honesty.
