The end of the line

I fear the end of the fight is near. Headlines today included two things that made me cringe.
First home values drop again. Second the US government is now going into the business of policing the internet.

The home value thing really sucks. It says that class warfare is still going strong and that nothing that is being done to fight back-the protests, US/UK Uncut, the recall elections are going to change the fact that anything owned by the middle class (or what is left of it)-their time, their skills, their pensions, now most lately their homes is worth anything anymore. The things NEEDED by these people-food, energy, medical care, etc-well that is just going to keep going up and up.

And what can be done-the corporations have taken over the government. Now they are fighting hard to eliminate those eligible to vote. But even if you do vote, there is no saying that the election is going to be fair because they bought the courts (See Kloppenburg V Prossner). And that is at the state and federal level. Im talking about Thomas and Scalia of course.


And none of this would make news because corporations own all of MSM, so the only resistance people could show through their crippled unions was over the social networks on the internet. So here comes the government (read corporations) to police the internet. Anonymous warned that they were going after free internet access via piracy claims. Facebook is apparently closing down populist organizing sites.

So we can organize and protest to the ignoring masses or something real can happen. We need to shut the corporations down. Seriously. Nothing short of a mass synchronized walking away from the corporate overlords will do anything at this point.

Sounds cynical, and maybe I am just in a crappy mood about Kloppenburg's announcement today. But if anyone has a better idea have at it.

BTW I stopped blogging in order to join the Facebook exchange of ideas because I felt the need to get information out there in a format people would see. I do not know if I will blog again. There does not seem to be much that can be done with words and/or votes anymore
