I can just imagine the Corporate State thinking they had a real share-holder value strategy for the 2012 Presidential election. Now with Citizens United, the Corporate State can let the 1% [wealthiest Americans] spend their money buying the next president who will serve the interests of the Corporate State as well. Sounds fool proof, all the 1% had to do was financially back reasonable candidates who could appease the GOP base while seeming acceptable to Independent voters. What could go wrong, right? Surely the 1% could stand up one top shelf candidate that could be in a class with President Barrack Obama. So how about: Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry, Herman Cain, Jon Huntsman, Rick Santorum, Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney and that is where the wheels came of the 2012 GOP Presidential nomination cart for the 1%. You can just imagine the Corporate State scratching its head, wondering what the " F " went wrong? I mean come on, didn't these elite One-Percenters go to Ivy League schools, you do not make billion of dollars by taking candy from a baby do you? Unless you inherit your 1% fortune, but, that is a different story for another time.

Well apparently the Corporate State being non-religious did not factor in the cultural issues into the electoral equation, the potential for a Christian Utopia or the preservation of Israel in the minds of the 1%. Instead of keeping their eye of the prize, the 1% got greedy, but, who would have figured on that complication? (the 1% greedy, nah) Even the best laid business plans have risk, managing risk is the hallmark of Corporations, one only needs to look to the mortgage bubble of 2008, the Deep Water Horizon BP oil spill or the Massey Energy Big Branch coal mine disaster to understand that sometimes risk involves failure as a cost of business.

So now, the Corporate State has to rethink its 2012 Presidential election strategy and the risk/reward scenario:

 

  • Do we go with Plan A and continue letting the 1% buy the election and hope for the best?

 

  • Do we go with Plan B and have a Brokered Convention and stand-up it's own Corporate Candidate?

 

  • Do we go with Plan C and buy President Obama again while taking our chances with his 2nd term?

 

Managing the commoditizing of a society while commoditizing an entire country is never easy to fully execute, especially in a faux democracy Like America which is why Corporate titans get to loot the U.S. Treasury as part of their total compensation package. Its probably safe to say the 1% had their opportunity to put their money where their months are, but, in the end; inverted totalitarianism can only function with a clear mind completely void of emotional baggage such as religion, empathy or morality.

Ah, there is nothing like the sweet smell of cronny capitalism riding on the morning dew towards the shinning city upon the hill.

 

Remember: " It's all for one, and one for all " in America today !! (one being the 1% and the corporate state)

.. and for the nay-sayers out there consider this tidbit.

Under orders from the campaign funders (corporate state/1%), congress has perpetuated a multi-decades problem with illegal alliens being able to infulltrate the United States work force with the intent to dilute the American worker's earning potential. Combined with the dissmantalling of organized unions, the campaign funders are executing their plan to devalue American wages.

Having shipped the bulk of multi-national American manufacturing jobs overseas to take advantage of third world wages, legalized child labor and inprisoned slave labor. The corporate state has begun to shift the American work force to service oriented low wage job opportunities while simultaneously prioritizing financial services productless style higher income jobs for the well connected select few. In cooperation with for profit higher education, the American work force has been slowly drained of the ability to think for themselves and instead trained as managers/workerbees where work/life balance can favor the employer.

In the unfettered capitalistic free-market:
- Physical resources are commoditized to exhaustion
- Labor force is diluted and commoditized to exhaustion
- Consumer bubbles persist until all profits are exhausted
- The Corporate State abandones what is left which is typically a third world country

These scenarios have played out over the decades to a lessor extent in Latin America, Africa, Asia and the Middle East often leading to dictatorships and/or religious theocracies. We see America's future in the rise of the Christian theocracy poised to seize the country after the Corporate State has exhausted as possible commodities, tax base and the society becomes unmanageable from a profit/loss perspective.

Can this be reversed? Unknown at this time.
