Why this riotous rhetoric of the republicans?

That major US theater syndicates shunning Roman Polanski’s Ghost Writer (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1139328/) suggests to me just how strong is the influence of the Republican strategy of trying to appeal to their dwindling hypocritical, absolutistic, pseudo-Victorian, narrow-minded, middle and lower class values espousing constituency while covertly maintaining ‘their legislators’ political elitist loyalty to the Corprocrats.  Simultaneously, they must perfect their spin for defending these criminally corrupt ‘conservative’ politicians.

Of late, news commentators have been examining, while also decrying, the causes of the outrageously bellicose speech and behavior of the republicans and their cohorts of Tea Baggers, Christian Militias, et al.  Here is the explanation my suspicious mind has come up with for this surge of chaotic political pugilism. 

I think that our culture is finally fulfilling Marx’s prophecy that a period will arrive in the Western capitalist economy where its thesis of free enterprise will generate an antithesis conflict of volcanic proportions due to its injustice, exploitation, and oppression of the populace.  We have reached that predicted stage and the Corprocrats, sensing it, have deployed legions of lobbyists to put mortal pressure on our legislators.  In addition, they are most likely the funding source backing these outrageously irate rabble groups, charismatic loony leaders like Palin,  and these anonymous dire threat messages, all of which are showing up or popping up all over the country.

What else could the Corprocrats do?  After all, their huge donations in the last election did not defeat the more impecunious popular groundswell and bumper-crop of internet-harvested supporters of Obama and democrats.  The Corprocrats were blind-sided with this surprising electronic storming of the Bastille.  Now they are confronted with a virtual pestilence of biblical proportions in the form of hundreds of thousands of bloggers protesting the new corporate controlled global empire.  They know these represent a huge, strong, new, passionately devoted voting public.  Corprocrats have had to resort to the Tammany Hall tactics of old with the legislators and right-wing think tank spokespersons on the one hand and on the other hand  massive media blitzes using rallies, rogue town hall meetings of a menagerie of persuasions, guerilla warfare of the perennially paranoid, and mobilization of the widely scattered white supremacist and anti-government-control militias, and these new Christian militias.

So, it is not that the political aspect of our nation has just suddenly, ex nihilo, begun to descend into a mob like mentality with total loss of the ability to respectfully disagree and diplomatically debate.  No, rather the election of Obama edged tectonic plates just enough more in a long developing upheaval to finally result in chasm generating quakes and volcanic eruptions.  I doubt seriously that the political landscape can ever recover and restore to the status quo anti-bellum.  The reason why.  You can read the tea bags.  The more widespread is the groundswell of the populace that is involved in defrocking the corporate-pseudo-saint propaganda, more frantic and fierce will be their counter ploys.  The more desperate they become, the more obvious and detectable that will be to the public, regardless of the most expert efforts of the super-intelligent media-manipulators.  You can see this rapidly expanding trend in the multifarious exposes of corporate deception by the ingénue investigative reporter-bloggers, and in the wave of documentaries detailing the many ways that merged gargantuan corporations are destroying every aspect of life on the earth, in the air, and in the oceans, and impoverishing the world’s people.

Corporations may be throwing down their money glutted gauntlets but when they reach the battlefield they will not be able to count on backup from their millions of disgruntled employees.  These employees, having been treated like commodities as Marx also predicted, will meekly but quickly form alliances with the geometrically expanding bounty of Obama loyalists.  Regardless of how disaffected his loyal supporters may be as, one by one, staunch promises are watered down, they know, as they learned from allowing Bush to be elected twice, they have to stick with the devil they know rather than chance another more pandemic pair of devils than even Bush and Cheney were. 

The antithesis is slowly beginning to win all over the globe.  It is just a matter of time.  The Corprocratic genius for spinning vile into virtue is turning against them.  It is merely aiding in causing their time in history, minute by minute, to run out.  Their putrefying waste is starting to rot their coffers and the sands of time are being readied to pour over their coffins.
