Conspiracies vs. the Middle Class
Igniting the voting bloc of our strong working class.
“The final war will not be a race war, it will not be between blacks and whites. The final war will be an economic war, a war between the haves and the have-nots.” — Malcolm X
By Richard Smith ILLUMINATION Staff Writer
When Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. focused all their efforts and influence on the true root of the issue — the growing inequality gap in the U.S. economy — they effectively gave us all a powerful call to action that we could unify, organize, and rally around. Regardless of race, creed gender, or background, Malcolm and Martin had awakened us to our identity, the Middle Class or, more accurately, the Working Class, and the undeniable economic power that comes with this strong and vibrant government policy voting bloc.
With laser precision, we began to realize the myopic and misanthropic stupidity of our careless, irresponsible, and paranoid conspiracies, most of which were created for the sole purpose of protecting an elitist and highly selfish members-only country club mentality of privilege and self-entitlement. We began to wake up to the fact that most conspiracies, if not all, were manufactured and fabricated from the ground up by the corporate-funded agendas of Wall Street, the Good Old Boys Network, and the Billionaire Boys Club. We began to realize that government policy, our legitimate voting bloc engine that sets the rules for how a capitalist market runs, should always be favoring a strong working-class first and foremost. Above all, we started coming to terms with the fact that this is an economic class war between the haves (i.e., Wall Street, Corporatism) and the have-nots like you, me, and the next-door neighbor. You know, the ones who live on something called Main Street.
Because of this wake-up call, both Malcolm and Martin had made the ultimate sacrifice with their lives, murdered in cold blood via public assassination. Their deaths sent a clear message to the middle-class communities of America. It’s okay to have the working class disintegrate by fighting with itself over race, creed, or gender. It’s okay to have the middle class shoot itself in the foot and stab itself in the back by divisively voting against its own interests. But it’s not okay to have that same working class see the bigger picture, bypass all the divisive smoke-and-mirrors idiocy, and focus with perfect clarity on the actual, genuine, root issue.
“The economy, stupid!” — James Carville
Yes, the economy. In recent years, the cause to awaken and unify the middle class has been taken up by people like Robert Reich, a lightning rod of education and empowerment on U.S. economics and the horrendous inequality gap that is targeting the very same American worker representing the backbone of the middle class. If you want to educate yourself on how to take back the middle class, move away from the intentionally disempowering mythos of fabricated conspiracies, and create powerful government policy that invests in a strong, vibrant middle class, then I highly recommend Robert Reich’s groundbreaking, definitive documentaries, Inequality for All (2013) and Saving Capitalism (2017), which can be viewed where available on any number of content streaming venues. I also strongly recommend putting down whatever malignant conspiracy garbage you are reading or listening to right now and reading all his books instead, which can be found here on Amazon. As American workers and members of an economically embattled and financially strained working class, we owe it to ourselves, at the very least, to do this.
Remember, folks, there is absolutely no such thing as a so-called, self-proclaiming, job creator who comes in the form of a venture capitalist, a Wall Street lobbyist, or a wealthy corporate CEO. These people pay themselves. In terms of middle-class entrepreneurial spirit, they do not invest in you, me, or anyone else other than themselves. They do not create jobs for anyone anywhere, nor have they ever done so at any time in U.S. economic history. So, when you hear these rich, self-entitled, sadistic, subhuman types screaming bloody murder about middle-class government policies infringing upon their alleged ‘job creator’ status in Corporate America, take a few steps back and realize where their shallow and baseless self-serving rhetoric is coming from. These mega-million parasites create nothing, no thanks to a venomous, trickle-down theory and the outright destructive agenda to liquidate the American workers’ union solidarity and destroy the policies that favor the working class.
Do you want to know who does create jobs? Yeah, you hit the nail on the head: it’s the middle class — the American worker — the very thing that the inequality gap has been actively raping and molesting since the Seventies when our wages were intentionally flatlined. Let’s be clear and precise about this. The middle class and the American working class that serves as its backbone is the only true, genuine, authentic job creator to ever exist throughout the entire scope and girth of U.S. economic history. Without the proper targeted and effective government policies favoring a strong and vibrant middle class, you have nada, zippo, and zilch in terms of job creation.
Remember, government policy, which is meant to favor the middle class above all, sets the rules by which the market runs, thrives, and succeeds by leaps and bounds. Go against this key foundational relationship and we effectively slit our own throats today, tomorrow, and for future generations. There is no such thing as this fabricated, comic book mythos referred to as the so-called free market. That is a terrific work of fiction invented solely by Corporate America’s lobbyists and their Wall Street cronies for the sole purpose of damaging the solidarity of the middle class and its powerful voting bloc in tandem. This means there is no such thing as that other magnificent work of fiction often characterized by this corporate-funded, disinformation, conspiracy machine as ‘government intrusion versus the free market’. This type of devious rhetoric is orchestrated, ultimately, to confuse the American worker, divide the working class against itself, and then have all of us vote against our own interests.
Once again, I will repeat it: government policy, which is meant to favor the middle class above all, sets the rules by which the market runs, thrives, and succeeds. Go against this key foundational relationship and we effectively slit our own throats. Capeesh? Comprende? Are we all on the same page now? There is no such thing as some imaginary government intrusion going against some mythical free market when, in fact, it’s your government policy that sets the rules for your middle-class market to function at all while stimulating our one and only healthy job creator, the entrepreneurial American worker. Folks, it doesn’t work any other way, end of story.
As for the corporate-funded, fabricated, serpentine, ooga-booga conspiracies we’ve been sucker-punched with and bowled over by, it’s time to take them out to pasture and put them down for good; I recommend one to the head and two to the chest just to be sure. They have no rightful or legitimate place in an educated and empowered middle class, nor have they ever. The purpose of the hateful, fearmongering, and paranoid rhetoric that always aligns itself with such conspiracies exists for one reason only — to disempower, divide, and conquer — the result of which is quite apparent in the way you are reacting to this article. From there, it’s a manipulating and calculated slippery slope that easily segues into the manufactured, self-deluded excuses for such things as misanthropy, irresponsibility, lack of involvement, depression, anxiety, drug addiction, alcoholism, domestic violence, child abuse, and criminal behavior, to name a few. This has a direct relationship to what was discussed in two of my previous articles:
Bottom line: the manufactured conspiracy becomes the excuse to sit on your ass and do nothing for yourself, your community, and your American middle-class society. At that point, your excuses further perpetuate the mythos of the corporate-funded conspiracy, making you both pimp and prostitute for Wall Street’s harem of propaganda. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, this defines you as part of the problem, not the solution as outlined by Robert Reich. I can only hope that this article and its recommendations have sobered us up on how and why conspiracies were ever invented in the first place, a custom-made freak show specifically designed to kneecap the middle class from the inside out in favor of corporatism and a severely protracted, ever-widening inequality gap. This is the reason why I took the time to publish this article:
As you can see, there is an underlying theme developing here, a common thread being exposed in our society. With each article I write, the picture becomes clearer when taken as a whole on the ancient, historical, and extraterrestrial narratives influencing our culture and society.
In final, I will leave you with these pearls of wisdom from The Abyss (1989), another great film from the Invisible College that was ahead of its time, representing the very spirit of what this entire article is about.
Lindsey Brigman: Have some new friends down here. Guess they’ve been here a while. They’ve left us alone, but it bothers them to see us hurting each other. Getting out of hand. They sent a message. Hope you got it.
Catfish De Vries: I’d say that’s a big ten-four, Jack.
Lindsey Brigman: They want us to grow up a bit and put away childish things. Of course, it’s just a suggestion.
As the Star Nations might say, “vnth” (pronounced ven-TAH), which translates as “strength against greater odds.” Grow up, embrace the bigger picture, and be the solution you were always meant to be against all greater odds. VNTH!
