The LAST exit to asserting our rights is already tightly locked --we long ago
locked it OURSELVES, locking ourselves IN, in return for only the false
promise of the faintest possibility of that will-o'-the-wisp "financial
security"-- and there's no longer any hope of finding an EFFECTIVE way OUT
again, except through violence or the THREAT of it.
Take, for example, my local "union," in which I was duly and correctly, in
accord with its rules, elected shop steward -- yet in practice I am denied
any opportunity to participate in negotiations that might affect the lot of
all those who elected me to represent them. Yet membership in this "union"
is mandatory for all employees at the site where we work, so that union dues
are automatically deducted from our paychecks, destined only for the union
bosses' pockets. We get the same "benefits" as NON-union workers.
It's a scam, it's a fraud -- but it's a good example of what the institution
of the "labor union" --granted political power over half a century ago, ONLY
after strikes, rioting and bloodshed-- has DEGENERATED into, in modern-day
Korporate-controlled America. In the very first paragraph of its contract
with our employers, our "union" RENOUNCES the right to strike or otherwise
interfere with the normal conduct of our employer's business, and in return,
our employer "agrees" to pay union members whatever it sees fit -- which is
comparable to what it'd pay us WITHOUT a union. Admittedly, our "union" is
NOT under the authority of the AFL-CIO --which makes this scam even more
acceptable to Korporate employers, and more profitable to the "union's"
bosses, who monopolize an entire profession in this town-- but that really
doesn't matter, since the AFL-CIO itself --under CFR member George Meany, and
under MAFIOSI union bosses who secretly colluded with the FBI and/or CIA,
after WWII, when the federal government cut a deal with organized crime--
functions primarily, if not solely, as an instrument to keep labor under
Korporate control. "Labor" is as thoroughly corrupt as any other warehouse
of voters, another wolf-in-sheep's-clothing "shepherd" of American sheeple at
the polls.
Surrender the THREAT of "violence" --the option of SHUTTING DOWN THE SYSTEM,
NON-violently EXCEPT IN SELF-DEFENSE, i.e., when under violent COUNTER-attack
by the Korporate State's armed goons-- and you throw away the ONLY bargaining
chip the non-rich and un-privileged HAVE -- have EVER had, historically, or
CAN ever have.
The Elite's TRUE source of POWER is the "government's" MONOPOLY on violence:
there's NO possibility of "bargaining" for JUSTICE when UNARMED, facing a
GUN.
You have ONLY those "rights" you can --individually or collectively-- ENFORCE
and DEFEND. Ah, but HOW? WITHOUT "violence"? Without recourse to violence,
the GOVERNMENT ITSELF can't rely on the "legitimacy" of its "moral" right to
govern us! How, then, can WE possibly have any rights, left UNsecured by an
EQUAL defense?
