The Corporations have Stolen 246 Mountaintops And They Turned Their Plunder Into Poisonous Air

The hard working citizens of West Virginia and Kentucky have watched Corporations destroy their mountains for over a century.

The only battles that those working men and women have waged regarding the mountains have been about how much they can make off of the destruction of the mountains, no battles have been fought by the workers or the citizens there to protect and preserve their mountains from utter corporate destruction.

246 mountaintops gone…  to make poisonous air for a profit by corporations : poisoning the land, the air, the water. We can not eat the fish from anywhere in the U. S. A. without being poisoned by the toxic residues from burnt coal.

The two words you never hear when the topic of energy for America is concerned are : Gulf Stream! If the U. S. Navy and the Corps of Engineers placed their surplus aircraft-carriers equipped with ‘tidal driven turbines’ with power cables run to existing power stations up and down the eastern seaboard of the Gulf Stream , we tax payers would own it and our lives would be free of ‘energy parasites’ and their filth.

The ‘Gulf Stream’ are two words that will never be heard in the AmeriKan conversation about energy : the ‘Gulf Stream’ is perpetual, free energy and it is pushing at 3 to 5 miles per hour for over a thousand miles from South to North and it is over 50 miles wide. Tax payer owned energy from existing sources that do not have to be altered (Gulf Stream) is where it is at. Consumer owned, clean, cheap energy that serves all of us is what makes sense, not the removal of 246 mountaintops that are converted into poisonous air for profit by corporations.

Bankrupt, Corrupt and Stupid

Eight hundred thousand or so fellow American citizens were jailed last year for marijuana and the thugs (drug warriors) who did the arresting instead of protesting against a terrible law have pension plans that are tied to contracts with the cities and states of our country that will soon bankrupt whatever community they are tied to.

Philadelphia, Penna. home of the ‘Main Line’ and their boy Micheal Vick who is a killer and torturer of helpless animals has a new policy about marijuana and pensions for police and firemen. In order to afford the excessive cost of police and firemen pensions the city is no longer prosecuting minor marijuana offences but the police will still thug it out and arrest you if they catch you with marijuana.

Philadelphia used to be a city of music and brotherly love and I loved it there but then Philadelphia’s organized crime and the drug warriors trashed the place. Now the citizens in Philadelphia think it is acceptable to allow Micheal Vick, a criminal who created and operated a business that was centered around the torture and killing of defenseless animals and who was convicted for felony crimes against those animals to be a roll model and play professional football for their Philadelphia community.

The citizens in states that allow mountaintop removal might not be as fat as  Philadelphia’s population but they are just as apathetic, imagine allowing a corporation to come into your state and steal your mountains, destroying them by demolition and processing the debris, actually removing (stealing) the mountaintop and then reconstituting the site with slag and poisonous debris.

The leaders in business and government know exactly what they are doing and their subversion of the constitution of our United States is transparent and has been exposed and those acts are crimes and yet America’s work force is still pissing into jars in order to qualify to work for corporations and the American government. It seems that most of my fellow Americans are just doing what they gotta do just to get by ; they could care less about the lives given in defense of our great document or the sacrifices that have been made by the American people in it’s defense.

Americans! Look at our country!  The corporatist and the drug warriors have made us Stupid, Corrupt and Bankrupt!

Just a foot note:..  Bankruptcy will be the vehicle that our local communities will use to disentangle ourselves from the special interests of the police and fire men unions … we trust them to serve and protect our American communities but we can not continue to invest the treasure or trust the motives of the drug warriors. Their mission is in direct conflict with the Constitution of our United States of America and they are bankrupting communities all over the country.

America! Bankrupt, Corrupt and Stupid.. really?
