Corporate Slavery Today - the Irony of the TWELVE YEARS A SLAVE Oscar Win!

Posted on the 04 March 2014 by Freeplanet @CUST0D1AN
I mean, the fact that the title TWELVE YEARS A SLAVE ties in almost perfectly with the twelve years anniversay of 9/11 (it premiered at the Telluride Film Festival on August 30, 2013). Kind of a lovely slap in the slave face with the butt end of a whip, kind of a lovely series of whip marks across the collective back, no?
Corporate Slavery Today - the irony of the TWELVE YEARS A SLAVE Oscar win!But let's not discuss the ATROCITY OF 9/11 again, let's instead discuss this spurious claim (by the film's P.R. i.e. speech writing, team) that there are still 20,000,000 people born into and living in slavery today.
What a crock of shit.
Are we asleep, finally, are we blinded by the obvious DEBT SLAVERY every single 'working' human is kept under?
Intense AND brutal war upon the exposed back of You The People? Bills going through the roof. Price of houses soaring. Debt up to our eyeballs. Threat of eviction, threat of respossession, banks cutting off loans to businesses.
There are upwards of FIVE BILLION working corporate-war drone-slaves wage-slaves salt-worths occupying this (it was supposed to be a) Free Planet i.e. not a for-profit Empire.
The sheer callousness of adapting an old book (written in 1854) that was earlier released on TV in 1984(!) that was subsequently made into a feature film to be released almost perfectly TWELVE YEARS after the 9/11 atrocity!
T.h.e.y. literally don't care any more - purely blatant pyramidic posturing - on your back corporate slaves and let daddy piss on your fucking stomachs.
