Op-ed: THE POLITICAL COMMON DENOMINATOR - MUTUAL BLACKMAIL
When average American citizens get into a discussion regarding politicians, there is a spark of adrenalin that ignites indignation in all that participate. Very rarely is the statesmanship, intelligence, or noble profile of the politician heralded. Usually contrasting arguments, when comparing politicians, evoke only disparaging curses. Such is the general contempt afforded all politicians.
Consider Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. Is he a textbook example of corrupt power gone wild? Yes and no. He appears to be a corrupt politician, but a ‘power gone wild’ is not true. “Gone wild,” in my opinion, is the normal state of affaires regarding most politicians. I believe, personal wealth derived from public money is at the core of all Blagojevich’s conscious and unconscious actions.
The euphoria that takes hold of the mind in this textbook example of Illinois political abominations is the highest form of national crime short of murder. The reward is dipping unopposed into the treasury of the nation. Only ‘Productive’ American Citizens fill State or Federal Treasuries. Every politician is paid from this civil treasury! Funding comes from internal political pipelines as well, but most can be attributed by other major and minor politician-donors seeking unbroken trips to the trough. These personages are publicly fed from the same treasury, and this subject must be at the forefront of judicial prosecution. The suspects are our most dangerous national enemy and fulfill the dreams of our foreign enemies.
To maintain a secure place in the public funding corruption line, an insurance scheme is protected and preserved by criminal politicians. At the core of this insurance scheme is mutual knowledge of connecting crime by all participants. I call this corrupt enterprise, to siphon wealth and power from the public treasury, “The Mutual Blackmail Society.”
Thus an evil tree is grown, its branches reach out to feed all “Unproductive American Politicians,” the trunk is primarily the US Democratic Party, its roots drink from the US Treasury, and the ‘Productive Citizens’ that fertilize it. The name of this tree is, The Mutual Blackmail Society.” This tree must be cut down its roots ground out forever, if we are to be a nation of noble cause, an example to all nations of the world.
Those men, at the dawn of this nation did not create a Royal Scheme to enrich themselves at the expense of its national citizenry. They put their ‘Lives fortune and sacred honor,’ under the shadow of the King’s noose to make this unique nation.
Our most powerful organ of life is the Constitution, meant to be preserved and protected by the oath of every US political servant. When that oath of service is surreptitiously squandered by those held in trust, it becomes the highest national crime. Unless the rare elected public servant and knowing prosecutors of these crimes attend to their public trusted jobs, then they are willing accomplices to “The Mutual Blackmail Society,” and are equally guilty of the national crime against its productive people. Indeed, for publicly funded law enforcement to know the crime and allow its existence is the greatest evil. For the “Fourth Estate,” the Press, to know the crime and not herald the fact is the greater crime.
