A Quantum Leap in Super PAC $$$
1/25/12
It has been over four years since the 2007
Quantum Leap Celebration in Taos, New Mexico. Since that time,
new energy has been available for those who wish to partake. Yet, with the current global face-off between Old Energy and new, change is stifled.
Entitlement thinking among self-appointed
elites leads to abuse of power. In the news, selfishness, fear mongering and greed are the current winning strategies.
The 2010 Supreme Court decision favoring “Citizens United” is a good example. Through that decision, the court allowed shadow groups an unlimited voice in federal elections. Without divulging their contributors, “Super PACs” may now accept and spend unlimited amounts of money. In August 2011, Mitt Romney said, “Corporations are people, my friend”. According to our Supreme Court, perhaps they are.
After taking “appropriate expenses”, Super PACs use the remainder to produce negative political ads. Most of that ad money will go to media corporations that are key Super PAC contributors. For the energy, entertainment and media moguls, it is a case of having your cake and eating it too.
As they say, “Negative ads work”. With so much to lose, Big Money quickly pledged tens of millions of dollars to Super PACs. The resulting Super PAC ads have created a negative aura around the Republican primaries. With their inevitable negativity, Super PAC ads are likely to determine the outcome of the Republican primary race.
During a recent TV news show, I heard someone say “Sewer PAC”. What a fitting moniker, I thought. After my recent miss in registering “ChristianTingle.com”, I quickly bought the URL
http://sewerpac.com.
If corporations and billionaires need a place to flush their money down the toilet, I can now provide one. Rather than writing about
new energy and the
environment in 2012, I plan to sell out. So hold your breath against the stench and watch for further developments at
SewerPAC.com.
SewerPAC.com is for sale. The minimum bid is a “billionaire’s bargain” at only $1.0 million.
