NYPD Now Looking to Intercept Cell Phone Calls in the Name of Terrorism!

This is beyond alarming! Naomi Wolf warned about this in her presentation of: "The End of America" ... this is really scary stuff especially when you see it happening before your very eyes!

We are losing our country to socialism and more

eel I agree with you that we need to do something about this BUT this is not about socialism. I wish it were, socialism is an ECONOMIC policy that focuses on the even distribution of wealth.... This is about TYRANNY and the Police State that is coming and is already here in NYC. This is another step they are doing to shut down our society and control the masses in the name of fear and 'terrorism'! This is scary stuff and although Americans should focus their attention first on the country BUT then they need to pay attention to NYC because this is the GROUND ZERO for the coming N.W.O. !!

By the way here is the lecture of the book by Naomi, it's a must see and the documentary is even better.

eel,

The definition of socialism is what it is. In it's absolute form it, like capitalism is no good. The evils of our 'Runaway' capitalism are very similar and would fill this post just as easily. Some of the problems of Runaway Capitalism is that it puts corporate interest above human interest and human rights, large corporations answer to no one, circumvent most of the taxes they pay and have a green light to impose so called 'extracted slavery' from the worker. Not to mention expanding the income gap and enslaving the masses into financial slavery and the crime rates that correlate with any society in which class difference is so vast.  Add to that, the runaway power of large corporations to be able to merge with large governments to overlap Military and Corporate interest when both realize that Wars themselves are a massive form of profit as well as things like the Prison System itself!

So all of this proves that Adam Smith and Karl Marx were both wrong in the absolute sense and neither system on it's own will prevent deep levels of societal problems. Be aware that the left does NOT advocate Socialism. Typical Democrats and left wingers are concerned with human rights, lack of responsibility by corporations and unfair business practice that favor the very rich. This is a Right Wing propaganda used to emotionally arouse their supporters. Are you aware of this?

In other words, socialism is a form of legalized theft.  

Legalized theft has been happening forever. Every time a company charges an 'administration fee' or 'connection fee', and obligatory 'contract' or this fee or that fee... what do you call that? These are all forms of legalized theft because the consumer is not given an option. And speaking of legalized theft; The "Bailouts" were the biggest Heist in the History of the World! Bankers run this world and for all of us to watch in broad daylight while they 'legally' steal Billions of tax payer money and give NO accountability whatsoever on how it was used,, all in the name of FEAR. That is Illegal 'legal' theft of the biggest kind.

Bottom line is that I've suggested many times that the key is to make large corporations ACCOUNTABLE to the Consumers AND the government. Without this, the runaway corporations will continue to drag this country down in the name of greed. NFL has a salary cap and MLB has a luxury tax.. Maybe something similar may work? Corporations need the INCENTIVE to STOP growing beyond a certain point or pay a 'luxury'-type TAX (back to the people) ... This would be ONE way to keep the RUNAWAY Corporation in check but I'm not an expert to speak any further on this. I'm just suggesting...

So I think we both agree a 'mixed' or MODIFIED version of Capitalism is needed. A version that will address the corporate Power and Greed issues I outlined.

So yes, absolutely, we must do something NOW. 

I couldn't have said it any better!
