Will the Oligarchs burn it down? [1]

The oligarchs are failing in their generational war to keep the rest of us under their thumb and to control what we all agree upon as truth. Their bumbling and incompetent descendants failed to understand that to keep us ignorant they must remain unseen behind the levers of government. They also forgot that enough of us would need to be successful so that the illusion of the deserving middle class and undeserving poor could be maintained. With all of the great social justice battles raging on and growing and the lies that sustain the power in this country grow increasingly obvious and hollow. I think they know they are about to be put on display like never before.

The impeachment, the fake news, the insurrectionist Representatives, the budget fights and the dark money PAC’s are all part of the billionaires movement to keep and grow their power over us. None of it is working as well as they hoped. They fear the past 50 years and billions of dollars spent in influencing or purchasing so-called conservatives is about to become a waste if they aren't able to act now. All they have left is to halt the working of the government. They will direct the sedition caucus of the House of Representative willing to light the match.

We have seen parts of this plan with election tampering and insurrection. With the outright purchase of the Supreme Court and the tampering of the processes to fill its vacancies. There is Dark Money behind all of this. And all of the Dark Money is trying to break our government on behalf of obscene wealth. No better example exists than Donald Fucking Trump calling for the government to shutdown to prevent justice from being served upon him. I believe this overt call to break the government is fact the next chapter of the orange menaces ongoing calls to sedition and insurrection. Some people might say greed of the oligarchs would never allow them to destroy the system. I would argue they already have SO much money it cant be counted and is only exists as an abstraction. More money wont answer their need for more power. A regionally divided United States is a much better landscape to divide us, control us and gain more power. What better way to achieve that end than by breaking the federal government.

Our collective government is the most effective instrument ever created to resist the machinations of the rich and powerful. I’m hopeful that it, along with collective action, will be enough to put out the fire they are determined to start. Just don’t doubt, they are trying to start a fire. They intend to let it burn. Especially, now that the truth is clearer each day.
