It’s a big club and you ain’t in it is a quote from George Carlin. He was a crass comedian, but when he said that, he said a mouthful of truth. He was talking about the ruling class who own and run everything. It got me thinking, and he is right. It is a big club and we ain’t in it. It consists of the billionaires who own everything. They own the media, so they control the news, they have judges in their back pockets, and they are in Washington D.C., lobbying day and night to get what they want. Most of the politicians have been bought out and do their bidding. They give us the illusion of freedom of choice.
We vote people in thinking that they are going to do what they promised and help the people. Nine times out of ten, they end up getting bought out to do the bidding of the corrupt billionaires. President Trump is the wild card who cannot be bought out because he does not need their money. That drives them crazy and that is why they go after him so hard. He is a nationalist and loves this country. The ruling class does not want a society of critical thinkers who can think for themselves. They want people just smart enough to do the work and ask no questions. President Woodrow Wilson said he wanted people just educated enough to work in the industrial complex.
This affects all levels of government, right down to the state and local level. I call it trickle-down corruption. All these people are like-minded with like interest. That like interest is themselves. They want more for them and less for us, while nobody questions anything. On the grand scale we think we have choice, but it is an illusion. For example, if you do not like the rates of the power company or what they are doing, you are still stuck with them because you have no choice. It all goes back to the handful of billionaires who own everything. You have a choice in the things that do not matter. Fancy coffees, ice cream, and all the little things that keep us looking the other way.
There are more of us than there are of them. They know this, so they use the age-old tactic of divide and conquer. A unified body of people is a lot harder the control than one that is constantly fighting amongst themselves. While we are busy arguing over political differences and everything under the sun, they are over here doing their dirty deeds while we are arguing and not looking. The system is not broken; it is running exactly the way they want it to. They talk about the war on terrorism, and we do need to try and stop terrorists, but there is a group of terrorists that nobody is looking at. They wear five-thousand-dollar suits and work in the highest positions of finance, government, and business. That is the head of the snake that needs to be cut off.
