George carlin who owns americans

They own and control the corporations. They got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying. Lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. High-quality, grade-A, prime-cut, pure, American bullshit. And the sad part is, is that most people seem to have been indoctrinated to believe that bullshit only comes from certain places, certain sources: advertising, pol itics, salesmen—not true.

Bullshit is everywhere. Bullshit is rampant. Parents are full of shit, teachers are full of shit, clergymen are full of shit, and law enforcement people are full…of…shit—this entire country. This entire country is completely full of shit, and always has been. If honesty were suddenly introduced into American life, the whole system would collapse! To me, war is a lot of prick-waving! Simple thing. War is a whole lot of men standing out on a field waving their pricks at one another.

Who se views prevail in such a media climate? The average U. In television programming c ommercial breaks have become longer. During the s a standard hour-long show would run for 51 minutes excluding advertisements. Today, such a program would only be 42 minutes long; a typical minute block of time now includes 22 minutes of programming and eight minutes of advertisements.

There are six minutes for national advertising and two minutes for local. But in Europe, European Union legislation limits the time taken by commercial breaks to 12 minutes per hour. A dvertising broadcast time can vary within the EU and other countries and between networks. Unlike in the United States, in Europe the advertising agency name may appear at the beginning or at the end of the advert.

Sinclair was irritated at the whole business climate where newspapers were run by business tycoons and conservative editors. Although Sinclair claimed that this was his most important book, critics dismissed it and reviewers shunned it surprise, surprise. But it sold over , copies published in as well as numerous reprints because it exposed deeply rooted corruption of people in power.

And that's partly because there's a whole machine out there, an organized attempt to accuse them of bias whenever they say anything that the Right doesn't like. So rather than really try to report things objectively, they settle for being even-handed, which is not the same thing. One of my lines in a column—in which a number of people thought I was insulting them personally—was that if Bush said the Earth was flat, the mainstream media would have stories with the headline: 'Shape of Earth—Views Differ.

As for the poor, they tell us they've lost all incentive because we've given them too much money. The politicians are put there to give you the idea you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land, they own and control the corporations that've long since bought and paid for the senate, the congress, the state houses, and the city halls, and they've got the judges in their back pocket, and they own all the big media companies so they control just about all of the news and the information you get to hear.

They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else. But I'll tell you what they don't want. They don't want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don't want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They're not interested in that. That doesn't help them. Remember, the founders were a small group of unelected, white, male, land-holding slave owners who also, by the way, suggested their class be the only one allowed to vote.

To my mind, that is what's known as being stunningly and embarrassingly full of sxxx. The original U. Constitution said that members of the House would be elected by the voters of each respective state and those voters would be whomever could also vote for the state legislature.

Article 1, Section 2, first paragraph of the U. Constitution did not establish any rule about who could vote; that would be determined in the states. And the states did have laws to limit "the voting franchise" to only white, male property owners.

At the time the U. There were even language requirements, thus eliminating anyone who couldn't speak English. George Washington was elected by six percent of the population.

Native Americans! However, in The Indian Citizenship Act grants citizenship to all Native Americans, but many states nonetheless make laws and policies which prohibit Native Americans from voting. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Disenfranchisement is alive and well. In more ways than one! Did you learn any of this in history class? We cannot forget how it "used to be". And there are still those who see themselves as superior and would revert back to earlier times.

While skin color and language may differ, underneath we are all the same. And yes, we all carry African DNA in our bodies. With the mapping of the human genome in , combined with thousands of people around the world submitting their DNA for testing, there's now mounting physical proof we all started in Africa before migrating around the world. It creates a hostile work environment. Pride should be reserved for something you achieved on your own, not by accident of birth.

Do not let the media or the establishment make you pick from the people they choose, but instead choose from those they do not pick. Pick a leader from among the people who is heart-driven, one who identifies with the common man on the street and understands what the country needs on every level.

Do not pick a leader who is only money-driven and does not understand or identify with the common man, but only what corporations need on every level. Pick a peacemaker. One who unites, not divides. A cultured leader who supports the arts and true freedom of speech, not censorship.

Pick a leader who will not only bail out banks and airlines, but also families from losing their homes -- or jobs due to their companies moving to other countries. Pick a leader who will fund schools, not limit spending on education and allow libraries to close. Pick a leader who chooses diplomacy over war.

The video featured audio from George's Wake Up America bit combined with imagery of events and people in today's society. You can check out George's original performance here.

The result is pretty powerful. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice. You have owners. George's words are heard alongside footage featuring gun-toting, Confederate-flag-waving Americans, President Trump and his family alongside various world leaders and while participating in rallies, Jeff Bezos, Walmart and Monsanto logos, and more.

And they own all the big media companies so they control just about all the new and information you get to hear,". They want more for themselves and less for everybody else. But I'll tell you what they don't want," George explained, as footage played of armed law enforcement officers marching in the streets amid ongoing protesting. They don't want well-informed, well-educated people capable of critical thinking. They're not interested in that.
