In every country I can think of, the freedoms, sovereignty and wealth of the Nation, which was once the embodiment of the power and will of the people,  is being butchered and sold to the highest bidder. Everywhere, the Nation and the people within it, are under attack. Not from without by terrorists but from within. Because in every country the people who run the State have largely decided they no longer wish to serve the people but prefer instead to serve the interests of a Global Over-Class.

Of course we are not encouraged to see this clearly or if we do, certainly not to speak of it to others. And many of those we might try to talk to, do not want to hear.

Many of us prefer instead to find what warmth we can in the false and threadbare beliefs fed to us by the quisling elite of the State and their close friends and allies in a rigged and corrupted 'free' market. Together they tell us that whole functions of our nation which we built and treasure, are no longer viable because they are at odds with the 'realities' of a global economy. The more ideological of them proclaim that the state, whenever and wherever it tries to do good, will always and by necessity do harm. The more 'realist' among them tell us that once inalienable liberties, must now be curtailed or suspended in the name of defending the 'nation' from outside enemies. And yet I want to argue it is now, not ever us or the nation that is being defended or empowered.  It is always and everywhere a small elite who own and control both the State and the Markets who are being defended.

Ohhhhhhh  probably do a few yard chores, put my flags out in the ground along the driveway,play with the dog & fill up his new pool so he can get soaking wet and terrorize the wife's flower garden, cut up the watermelon & cook some burgers on the grill later. Go see the movie TED 2, take the Mrs and the dog to DQ(dog loves a taste of vanilla ice cream). OH YEAH, almost forgot, gotta buy some lotto tix for tonight's drawing!!!!

Agreed.

Though on this day, however illusory, I will enjoy all of my constitutional rights as well as a few pieces of grilled chicken in my little piece of the suburban bubble!

Happy 4th.
