All day long, beating you over the in their media telling you what to believe - what to think - and what to buy. By the way, itвЂ™s the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. TheyвЂ™ll get it ALL from you sooner or later - вЂcuz they OWN this fuckinвЂ™ place. So they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street. And now theyвЂ™re cominвЂ™ for your SOCIAL SECURITY MONEY. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork, and just dumb enough to passably accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime, and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it. You know what they want? They want OBEDIENT WORKERS.

They donвЂ™t want people who are smart enough to sit around the kitchen table and figure out how badly theyвЂ™re getting FUCKED by system that threw them overboard 30 fuckinвЂ™ years ago. TheyвЂ™re not interested in that, that doesnвЂ™t help them. They donвЂ™t want well-informed, well-educated people capable of critical thinking. They DONвЂ™T want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. Well, we know what they want - they want MORE for themselves and less for everybody else.Д«ut IвЂ™ll tell you what they donвЂ™t want. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying - lobbying to get what they want. They own all the important land, they own and control the corporations theyвЂ™ve long since bought and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the State houses, the City Halls theyвЂ™ve got the judges in their back pockets, and they own all the big media companies so they control just about all the news and information you get to hear.

The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. The REAL owners, the BIG WEALTHY business interests that control things and make all the important decisions - forget the politicians. Because the owners of this country donвЂ™t want that. ItвЂ™s never going to get any better, donвЂ™t look for it, be happy with what youвЂ™ve got. ThereвЂ™s a reason education SUCKS, and itвЂ™s the same reason that it will never, ever, ever be fixed. it was pointed out in comments that this was not even the final HBO special of CarlinвЂ™s career, so take the quoted claim above with a grain of salt. The greatest 3 minutes of his career, and the final 3 minutes of his career. George CarlinвЂ™s Final Words To The WorldвЂ¦ Allegedly the same media companies that make no objections to the gazillion copies of CarlinвЂ™s famous вЂњ7 words you canвЂ™t say on TVвЂќ routine online are issuing takedown notices every time somebody uploads this video to youtube or vimeo etc. This is starting to be seen all over my FB feed as people (finally!) start paying more attention to #occupywallstreet, which means I probably should have posted it when I first saw it on Pharyngula, because now I look all behind the curve.Д«elow the video is a transcript of the finala 2005 televised performance of by George Carlin вЂs career, sounding hugely relevant right now.
