Peanut Butter Jelly Time
“There are some things so serious you have to laugh at them.” –Niels Bohr
In essence, we are really just talking about spreading jelly over toast. Do we want clumps or even distribution? But, please, let’s only consider what’s within the boundaries of my particular slice of bread. This analogy, while amusing and somewhat insightful still lacks many other distortions, especially the veiling of the power elite. Because we all know, you must spread the peanut butter before you spread the jelly. Just because you can’t see it, doesn’t mean it’s not there.
The phrase “power elite” is a bit ambiguous, so allow me to define our terms. Anyone who has peered deeply into politics will inevitably come out of it dis-empowered, disheartened and disgusted. While perhaps there may have been a time when the world really was a collection of nations, and each was responsible for it’s own self interest this is most certainly no longer the case. Even a cursory glance into the inner workings of American politics would reveal that corporations run the show, and on the surface we see “lobbying” and all kinds of other gentle words for bribery happening in the highest levels of the executive, legislative and judicial branches. The word corruption does not do justice for what is taking place here, it is treason.
