The Betters began a campaign to bleed the economy to control the People.
Smoke and mirrors were put in place long before implementation.
Blame for economic constrictors was played out by the mock media in terms
that placed the blame squarely on the People.
The People were irresponsible in the use of credit, they say
bought homes they couldn't afford, they say
most People had given up putting a few pennies away for that rainy day;
the rain never came.
The Betters squawked ad nauseam.
Companies began to find ways and means to strip workers
of pensions set up for retirement.
401-K accounts now defunct thanks to company bankruptcies
along with engineered Wall Street crashes and recessions.
Corporations ratcheted-up their involvement in directing the affairs of Man.
The chicanery, double-dealing, deception and stealing
was done under the table, behind closed doors,
in the dark of night.
There were no more government watchdogs to be had;
payoffs, bribery and graft were built-to-last,
the Betters House was built on sand.
The land was stripped, beaten, raped and left for dead.
No clarion call of warning came from the Fourth Estate.
No. The press became known as the lame stream media
now busy suckling at the corporate teat.

Frustration mounted as evidence grew for complete take-over.
No one was able to pinpoint the exact time the Betters gained power.
Some say it was in April, 2007,
a time when prominent Betters refused to vacate
revered official positions and titled posts,
caught in a myriad of corruption and public-fleecing;
they had violated the public trust.
People became enraged when they realized
the Betters were accountable to no one.
The country had its own quasi-Reichstag with 2 capitol landmarks
heavily damaged by fire on the same day.
The fact that two 3-alarm fires of historic buildings
on the same day was considered "unusual"
the Chief on-board for a mere month, remarked
it was his "baptism of fire."
Emphasis on self being the national daily fare.

It was an Insidious Happening

It was well in-place by the time the People spoke up.

Oh, there were some who knew of the Plan for a decade or two
before it bubbled up in the nation's consciousness.
The Hundredth Monkey principle at work, if you will.
Mountain of evidence for the Plan's agenda finally came out.
People chose to downplay or totally dismiss its lethality.
Basically, it all came out thanks to the net,
for the most part.
