C.R.E.A.M.
March 13th, 2007 at 11:55pm Manchild
There’s a “hip hop” phrase that rap group, Wu-Tang Clan, introduced to the American public in 1993 via their debut album, Enter The Wu-Tang. Some of you may not be familiar with “C.R.E.A.M.” For those of you who don’t know, C.R.E.A.M. is an acronym for,
“Cash Rules Everything Around Me.”
C.R.E.A.M., or the mighty Dollar Bill, ultimately dictates who can successfully run for President, who wins or loses their meritorious lawsuits, who gets meaningful access to affordable healthcare, who gets their stomachs or prescriptions filled, who gains access to the best educational resources, who gets indicted for political reasons, who gets away with criminal activities, and who gets to live long enough to pursue whatever “floats boats.”
C.R.E.A.M. could also bolster the innuendo that a humorous Saturday Night Live skit alluded to some years ago about who is “really” running the White House and the United States of America. How many of you are more convinced than ever before that Vice President Dick Cheney controls a lot more than the White House behind the scenes? Even the jurors in the Scooter Libby trial doubted that the latest sacrificial scapegoat and fall guy, Scooter Libby acted alone. Do you? I slightly modified the original meaning of the acronym C.R.E.A.M. merely to provoke thought about recently televised news reports.
“Cheney Rules Everything Around Me.”
There may be more truth to my modified acronym of C.R.E.A.M. than initially believed since V.P. Cheney, the former CEO of Halliburton Co., appears to be untouchable and can apparently do no wrong. The mainstream media has produced enough videotaped footage since the Bush/Cheney Administration assumed their positions of leadership in the White House. For those of you who embraced The Secret, was it God’s will, the “Law of Attraction,” or growing suspicions that C.R.E.A.M. enabled oil services and defense contractor Halliburton Co. to secure a no-bid contract that apparently cost U.S. citizens “billions” via American tax dollars?
Halliburton, a Texas based corporation, announced that it’s moving to Dubai. Only God knows how their departure from the U.S. will impact both the lower-class and middle-class working poor in Americans who are just a mere 1 to 2 paychecks away from financial disaster. It’s comforting to know that Almighty God, not the mighty Dollar Bill, not C.R.E.A.M., not O.G.s, not Gangstas, and definitely not The Secret, is the only One still making the world go round.
Halliburton’s decision to abandon Texas has raised suspicions and sends the wrong message to the rest of humanity’s global village about the morality and integrity of the American way. Did Halliburton profit at the expense of both the American and the Iraqi people? It sure smells like it. I don’t know about you but there’s something terribly wrong with this picture. I feel like somebody smacked me in the face with a C.R.E.A.M. pie. Do you?
