Modern-day saints and monstrous mammon

10 years ago

To the editor:
Central Aroostook has something to really celebrate once they hear what it is and can bring themselves to the daunting amazement of it.
The most popular prophetic song of all time — “When The Saints Go Marching In” — is manifesting to capitalize on their magical mass communication system of the new millennium’s prophetic Utopia.
Last week, in hundreds of cities around America and in 40 other countries around the world — according to the 5 o’clock Ed Show on MSNBC — thousands of exploited, underpaid fast food restaurant workers hit the streets in protest against the monstrous mammon of big money, which has taken possession of the souls of the super rich and the slave bodies of the super poor, whose hard labor is making the super rich super richer.
These young marchers and their predetermined organizers are so smart, so fired up and hip to the communications system that they are suddenly sparking hope in the mass mind that it is possible to thwart the intents of the two wealthiest men in the world, the Koch brothers, to install an all Republican Congress to eliminate Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, unemployment benefits and other services to the needy.
Let us celebrate by joining these young saints’ effort to vote in a Democratic Congress and a living minimum wage of $15 per hour. And we’d better do it quick, so we can take care of each other through the long period of natural disasters that has suddenly tipped the scales of nature. Because monstrous mammon cares about no one and nothing but more mammon for itself.
Let us remember and actualize the lyric, “O Lord, I want to be in that number, when the saints go marching in.” Could these be the “144,000 with the seal of God (Love and Truth) in their foreheads,” as prophesied in the Book of Revelations?
If your fire still needs stoking, tune in to the amazing Ed Schultz of The Ed Show.
