Virginians are preparing to vote in another election for the purpose of perpetrating the grand lie that we the citizens of this state and country have any control of our criminal government.  To begin any serious discussion about the deceitful politicians from the Republican and Democratic parties, we must acknowledge that they are prostitutes to amongst others Northrop Grumman, Dominion Power and Verizon.  That is correct.  Ronald Sugar, Tom Farrell and Ivan Seidenberg have a stable of ho’s in Richmond and Deeds and McDonnell are competing to be their Bottom Bitch.

Ronald Sugar is the boss of weapons maker Northrop Grumman and will enter his retirement in January with a golden parachute he has earned by fleecing Virginia and US tax payers.  Sugar and Northrop Grumman, since receiving the largest ever contract in Virginia’s history, have failed to meet any of the benchmarks set forward in the one-sided contract written to benefit the corporate giant.  The contract was written by a law firm now owned by McGuire Woods which, according to Jeff E. Shapiro of the Richmond Times-Dispatch, is the “seat of Virginia’s shadow government.”  Sugar and NG violated this contract.  They also silenced dissent by firing Lem Stewart when he exposed NG’s underperformance and overcharging sending the message that Northrop Grumman is accountable to no one.

Tom Farrell, top fat cat at monopoly energy company Dominion Power, lines his pockets by carrying out environmentally-destructive practices like mountain top removal, building a new coal burning power plant and routinely releasing cancer-causing tritium, xenon, krypton and argon into our atmosphere from Dominion’s nuclear power plants.  To add insult to planetary destruction, the energy company is gouging its customers with rate increases from 18 to 40 percent which were approved by Dominion front group, the State Corporation Commission.  Not only can Farrell and Dominion blow the tops off of mountains and poison its customers, they also can charge customers ever increasing fees.

Ivan Seidenberg is the top dog at telecom giant Verizon.  While he eliminates jobs and cuts pay for workers he rewards himself with increasingly large compensation packages.  Seidenberg and Verizon, in clear violation of the First and Fourth amendments to the US Constitution, gave the National Security Agency direct access to their vast database of communications.  No matter.  Ivan’s Democratic and Republican friends in Congress wrote legislation to make unconstitutional actions legal and give retroactive immunity to Seidenberg and other telecom executives.

Sugar, Farrell and Seidenberg and the institutions they control promote and profit from illegal wars, ecological devastation and spying on Americans.  This clearly makes them enemies of the people of Virginia and America.  Sugar, Farrell and Seidenberg are part of a small sliver of the population that is driving our species to the brink of extinction through aggressive wars and eco-terrorism and an Orwellian police state made possible by illegal spying.  It is past time for revolution and past time for these misery profiteers to be locked up.
