This is a link to a blog post. I wrote it. I used to work for the company. The only personal information contained in the post is public information about the Chairman of the Board for the company. The blog's original intent was for dating advice, but it's morphed into a "write your rant" sort of thing. Today I heard some news from a friend who will be affected by USG's latest shenanigans. If you think this belongs here, please keep it here. If not, delete it.

Its BRIBES -- You people are in a trance. Propaganda is the weapon that controls the minds of Americans.

Every person controlled by propaganda, denies being controlled. It is up to each individual in the privacy of his own mind to consider his/her own behavior. If you are unwilling to examine self destructive behavior that is impacting your own ability to get a job, to allow the privileged to transfer your wealth to them by unfair taxation, to poison your air/water/food (remember the BP oil spill), and to bribe the entire congress for laws benefiting them at your expense, then you are a traitor.

Each one of these individuals defensively denies having a weak mind that can be manipulated. It is that defense that backfires. If people understood that their own self destructive behavior which forces them to vote for either of the 2 bribed candidate with the most money. The amount of money raised indicates which candidate has been bribed. When the bag men spread the cash to both Democratic and Republican candidates in the race, its because they don't know for sure who will win the election.

It is stupid and ignorant to vote for any candidate receiving bribes. The reason no American will call the bribes by name is the obvious fact that proves each of the 98% voting for the bribed candidate is in the deep propaganda trance they deny. They are too arrogant to consider they might be bribed. They would rather be thrown into the street with no job prospects than to deal with the trance that drives them to vote against themselves.

Curiosity that examines the irrational behavior is necessary to snap the trance. But the arrogance prevents the curiosity with denial. It is the same as a dog chasing his own tale going round and round.

There can be no end in sight until dealing directly with the propaganda trance begins on a national scale. The alternative will be electing the same crooks taking bribes. Its up to each individual to recognize self destructive behavior.

I think Occupy should hit the USG corporate offices in Chicago and set up camp there until Bill Foote comes out and explains why he is entitled to more than $7 million a year and why he thinks it's just fine to hack away at the lower levels, leaving many of them destitute, without healthcare, and many only one paycheck away from the streets. He believes he doesn't owe them anything. After all, isn't Capitalism what America is all about. They can go and start their own companies, right? they can go make millions. What he's doing is wrong. There is no grey area involved. It's wrong for him to make more than $7 million a year off the backs of his underpaid and overworked employees and then throw them away. His Harvard degree does not entitle him to treat people as disposable and that's exactly what he's doing.
