System

Greetings good citizen, back during 'Morning in America' the public began to sense something was 'wrong' with the way the nation's affairs were being conducted and the situation has just kept getting worse.

Naturally this would lead some to question if Democracy has reached the end of it's leash Watch the video and you'll find a rather curious message, was 'democracy' an abberation?

Since the fifties there has been a movement afoot that sings the praises of 'benevolent despots' with zero suggestions of how the public could even begin to protect themselves from an 'untouchable' ruler.

Zero irony that W. publicly stated that his job would be much 'easier' if he were a dictator. [Just to give you an idea where such outlandish thinking thrives...movement conservatism anyone?]

See, conservatives believe the Enlightenment was a mistake.

The only people who believe [thinking has nothing to do with it, it's a 'gut' thing] a return to TYRANNY would be a good thing are the tyrants themselves and in returning to 'open tyranny' they are seeking to remove the few remaining social constraints that prevent them from exterminating large segments of the surplus population solely as a 'show of strength' and to reinforce 'fearfulness' in the public. [Everybody KNOWS you can't maintain control without fear, the more abject, the better!]

Can't find a tyrant? Need a roadmap to see who [precisely] is tearing the 'social contract' to shreds? Look no further than the self professed 'job creators' and their enablers/minions.

Understand these are the same people that would automate you all out of existence nevermind a job! Until that Glorious Day they act to set hurdles in your career path for you to surmount to prove you are 'worthy' of a paycheck.

Enabler number one are 'Institutions of Higher Learning', that teach you who to obsfuscate with aplomb and if you paint yourself into a corner [while explaining/justifying your actions] you already know to blame it on the system itself.

It MADE YOU do what you did. [That was the King's defense.]

But we (somewhat) digress.

The very people 'questioning' democracy are the same ones doing everything in their power to circumvent it!

YOU don't get to vote on legislation, only their hand picked toadies get to make laws. In that respect what 'they' (laughingly) refer to as 'Democracy' is nothing of the sort.

But even you know that.

Your participation ends with your trip to the polls, you may cast a ballot but it NEVER gets counted. The Media tells you who won and you get to ask yourself what the hell is wrong with people for the next four years.

All done. You cast a ballot and it went straight into the trash [largely because it was SECRET...]

Ever wonder what the hell you were supposed to be hiding?

The 'secret ballot' is done so YOU won't question the process used by those who make decisions in your name without EVER consulting you started out using. Now all congressional votes are a matter of public record...but it takes years to make them public.

Perhaps a better question for this series would be 'does Democracy exist?'

The answer, good citizen is the short one. [For the clueless, 'no' is shorter than 'yes'.] The ONLY thing that even smacks of democracy is the 'illusion' of choice on the ballot. These days all candidates are thoroughly vetted BEFORE they are funded and the cost of running for office is purposefully prohibitive. [Even the idle rich don't spend their own money running for office and then they only do it to influence legislation their competitors have to 'buy'...

So there is actually zero difference between 'public office' and a 'royal appointment'.

While 'theoretically' anybody can run for office BUT if you don't swear to 'support the party platform' and respond to the whims of your campaign contributors, good luck getting re-elected [or getting a job after leaving office for that matter. The 'money noose' is inescapable.]

Leaving us at the same question we always run into...do you think we have a 'money problem or a legal problem?'

Since money is a (poorly defined) 'legal construct' the answer is a legal one and focuses our attention on the 'true culprit', the legal community.

Talk about closing the loop, those who control money control you...and the only way to change that is through the law, which they also control via their control of money AND the political process.

So the 'shakiness' of our current civilization is the 'inevitable' outcome of prolonged rampant lawlessness as the criminal weasels continue to 'undercut' their 'competitors' in a game where almost EVERYBODY loses.

Doesn't have to be this way but the tarded play off your continued IGNORANCE.

They are 'stupid personified' but they use their control of money [and the so called 'justice system'] to keep dissent in check.

Well, don't look now but those wobbly wheels are about to come flying off in a spectacle that has unfolded a thousand times before ...which is why A.S.P. has re-surfaced.

There is NOTHING in A.S.P. that wasn't here already and that isn't 'tried & true'.

The 'reason' A.S.P. has never been implemented is because it closes ALL the loopholes the feckless use to milk society to their own advantage.

Unimaginable? Think again.

The 'rich' aren't like the rest of us and you can take that to the bank...(and they sincerely hope you do because under A.S.P. the entire banking industry will cease to exist!) [Now I'm really digressing, we all have a better chance of personally visiting (imaginary) 'Spirit in the sky' than we do of seeing justice and equality in our time.]

Imagine being 'debt free'! Until we prohibit modern banking 'imagine' is about as close as most of us will ever come.

Sort of redefines the term 'crimes against humanity', doesn't it?

Just another little thing to ponder as you choose between starving or freezing to death [because you can't afford both.]

Thanks for opening your mind, {don't forget to help yourself to all of the free 'mind snacks' in the archives!}
