We'll all be driving commie cars, Commie cars, commie cars, A wheelchair with a roll bar, You'll love your commie car.

I was a songwriter in an earlier incarnation, that being my youth. Though admittedly not one of my better efforts, I'm sure it gets the point across. So, General Motors entered into Chapter 11 bankruptcy this week; the United Autoworkers Union (UAW) now has a 17-plus percent ownership of the company, with the American taxpayer holding a majority stake in the automaker. As represented in the establishment press, this really isn't an altogether disagreeable development: Hey – guess what? You own General Motors! The problem, of course, is that our interest in GM will be administered by the federal government; for the moment, this means the Obama administration. If you don't see the inherent flaws present in this scenario, I apologize – I simply don't have the space to explain it here. At this juncture, the reasonably intelligent but marginally informed American might – just might – be starting to recognize a certain uncanniness in the relationship between the events that have taken place in our economy over the last eight months and the remedies that have been implemented.

Toward the enlightenment of this reasonably intelligent but marginally informed American, I would proceed as follows: A couple of '60s Marxists draft a plan for crippling the economy and necessitating government intervention, effectively ushering in socialism within a relatively short period of time. Two enterprising opportunists put it into action. They'll get rich in the process, and be princes in the new order. The organization born of this design finds eager accomplices in Congress. Certain popular securities are set up to fail; the cascade effect of these failures eventually brings about the desired result. In the end, all of it is represented to the public as having been a handful of well-intentioned, if imprudent measures that were exploited by ever-greedy capitalists. Couple this with the over-regulation of key industries, and the house really begins to come down. In a serendipitous moment during this perfect storm, a long-time operative poised to perform the coup de grace is elected president of the United States. You and I may know that it was all by design. You and I might be shocked and horrified at the magnitude of the lie so many Americans had to buy into to allow this chain of events to transpire – but there it is. [Continue reading]
