The Fix is In!! | Philip A. Farruggio

Sports have always been a keen reflection of the greater culture of our times.

Let's look at the American culture that our sports reflect. We have the 2000 Presidential election FIX, followed by the FIX of all FIXES, the 9/11 attacks, followed closely by the 2002-2003 FIX to allow the illegal and immoral invasion and occupation of Iraq. Many conspiracy theorists, like yours truly, believe that this trifecta of events were all part of a horrific agenda by the empire to dictate how the Middle East will play out in future.

Getting the Bush/Cheney gang into power through a rigged and larcenous election gave rise for the protocols of what transpired on September 11th , 2001. Will we ever know who was really behind those heinous attacks on our soil?

Is it a coincidence that right after the attacks (by who knows really who?), the Bush/Cheney gang ordered the timetables for an invasion and occupation of Iraq? The ink on the Patriot Act was not even dry and our government went into overdrive to keep us all in line by squeezing out our civil liberties while banging the drum for war. The result: We are a nation ready to face fiscal disaster for 99.5% of us, while the Fat Cats make out like Fat Cats always do.

We have other, more subtle FIXES, like the 2008 Presidential election campaign. John McCain, just nine months prior to the election, was floundering in last place amongst the major Republican contenders. His campaign was out of money and he was ready to drop out.
