Another Rigged Election

Well, there were some changes of faces in the Congress and in some local elections, but I'm just wondering about how substantive these alleged 'changes' have been. Consider the fact that Democrats and Republicans have essentially hijacked the entire political apparatus here in the United States. Virtually all of the candidates are members of these two parties. Did you ever hear of the strategy called 'Good Cop-Bad Cop'?

For those of you who aren't familiar with this, it works like this. The cops catch the suspect and arrest him (usually in isolation away from anybody who might be able to assist him in defending his rights, i.e., a lawyer/advocate/counselor), and then they bring him in for questioning. One cop (the Bad Cop) acts like a steroid-crazed, psychotic, violent, never-saw-a-rule-I-wouldn't-break Dirty Harry who is just itching to inflict some serious Guantanamo Bay questioning tactics on the suspect. After a few moments of outbursts and some slapping around, the other cop (the Good Cop) rushes to restrain the Bad Cop and whisk him away to another room. Then the Good Cop comes back and tells the suspect that he doesn't support the actions of the Bad Cop, and he then goes on to implore the suspect to come clean so that he doesn't have to let the Bad Cop come back to conduct some more of the 'interrogation'. Out of sheer fear, the suspect usually confesses or tells the Good Cop whatever he wants to know. Unbeknownst to the suspect, the Good Cop and Bad Cop are actually on the same team, and the Bad Cop is just acting in concert with the Good Cop to break down the suspect's resistance to the interrogation.

The point is that the Republicans and Democrats work together to control this country! Don't be fooled into believing that the Democrats and Republicans are anything other than partners-in-crime who are working together in lockstep. The alleged party conflict and competition between them are nothing more than fairy tales, urban legend, trumped-up puffery, a folktale embedded in our propaganda-conditioned minds so that we will accept their absolute control of the political process without question. Think about it. What other party has had any substantial control over anything in this country besides these two political parties? So when you think about the deteriorating conditions that we have faced in this country, consider the fact that these two parties have had total control of the entire political and governmental apparatus for the last 100 years.

The old saying is that in politics, nothing happens by accident, and that if you observe an occurrence in politics, you can readily discern that it was planned to happen that way. I guess that all I'm trying to say is that if there is no real choice in elections, what is the value of voting? This question indicates that regardless of the rigged electronic voting machines, gerrymandering, inaccurate vote-counting, manipulated vote counts, discrepancies of voting results with exit polls, etc., how can the voting process be held to be honest and fair if virtually all of the candidates are preselected by the 'powers-that-be'? It would seem that the power of the vote is held by those who can determine what the choices are before there is even a vote to be considered. If the mob ran the only 2 candidates for a vacant position, could the result be characterized as anything other than a fixed election? This isn't astrophysics.

I found an article that goes into some depth about this very subject. Sometimes, I have a difficult time putting all my thoughts in discussions about voting, probably due to emotion. Voting is a very emotional subject with most people. It is most people's only direct involvement in the political process, even though the system cannot operate with integrity if people don't get more involved in the political process. Voting is just a small portion of the political system, and the only people that can police and monitor the government is 'We the People'. The corruption that we see embedded in government is a direct result of the minuscule levels of participation in the process by the People. When the dog's away, the cat will play, and when the people abdicate their responsibility and delegate their power to 'elected' officials, mass corruption is the highly predictable result. I'm not sure if there is any better system of government in existence on the planet, but just because one flawed system is 'the best' doesn't mean that there isn't any room for improvement. I remember a saying that tells that the room for improvement is the biggest room of all.

The situation seems to be that only the rich are truly represented by government since the election process selects for only those who have access to vast amounts of money. The greatest sources of money in this society is the Corporation. This is why we have so many corporate backers of election candidates. They finance them, and the golden rule is that 'he who has the gold makes the rules', meaning that the richest of the rich usually maintain (and work to expand) their power. The preceding article may seem to be incredible, but I can't think of any organization (or any group of organizations) that can even slightly approximate the wealth, power and knowledge of the Vatican. In my experience, truth is stranger than fiction, which is why most never come close to understanding the truth. We've been socialized to believe anything other than the truth. This is why words and policies never explain or justify the conditions in society that we observe.

Just some of my observations. Feel free to chime in with your own take on this situation. I implore you to do your own research. I don't put anything out there as fact, but only as information taken from a different perspective from the one you are being spoon fed from your favorite mass media sources.

Rigged Elections Revisited

I've found another article that expounds on the proven fact that (at the bare minimum) the last 2 presidential elections were rigged. Of course, you realize that this information has been hidden and/or not covered in any major American media outlets. It is the duty of all people to learn about this state of affairs in this country because the integrity, and even the very survival of the United States could depend on this knowledge being widely disseminated.

Most people don't want to confront issues like this because they go straight to the very core of people's belief systems. The ramifications of the truth of rigged elections would pull away the facade of democracy, republic, freedom, fairness, honesty, fair play, "government of the people, for the people, and by the people". Most people cling to the ideas of freedom and honesty, even in the face of powerful evidence that shows that American government is 100% corrupt, especially at the national level.

This type of information makes the average person feel as if they have lived their entire life based on a lie. Even though it is probably true that the average person has lived their life based on lies, propaganda and gross misconceptions, they are more comfortable with the lies because they are familiar, and do not require any new or different action(s) to be taken, or new risks to be taken. The most unfortunate part of this specious logic is that society will have to face the results of this corruption.

It appears to be the 'easy way out' by going along with the lies and propaganda, but we still suffer from the effects of the corruption. Witness the continuing destruction of America on all levels. The country continues to plunge to new depths of depravity, poverty, erosion, predatory practices in business, parasitism, oppression of all forms, etc. Just 30 years ago, America was a leader in all facets of business and manufacturing. This is no longer the case, with the total hollowing-out of the substance of the US economy. We don't produce anything (besides debt) these days. Do you really think this is happening by chance??? Please don't be that naive.

The 'powers-that-be' are banking on you remaining naive, innocent and gullible as newborn babies. A lie or oligopoly based on fraud cannot stand the light of day. This is the reason that they try their best to dissuade people from doing any type of critical analysis of present-day events. Notice that their answers to pointed questions never address, muchless refute, the questions. They use every fallacious attack on sound questioning that they can muster to keep the people distracted and ensconed in the comfort of the familiar. But meanwhile, the country continues to crumble and slide down into the abyss.

Do yourself and your posterity a favor. Always ask questions, demand on-point, credible answers, and question alleged authority.

WAKE UP!

There is another excellent article written by Dr. Norman Livergood that exposes the dream state that most of us are allegedly living our lives in. It is amazing to me that most people refuse to leave the conceptual prisons in which their perception is housed. We have been socially conditioned to believe most of the things that we accept as fact in our lives. This blog is an attempt to demonstrate the fallacies and inconsistencies that are a part of what we commonly accept as uncontrovertible fact.

But the truth is that most of what we accept unquestioned in our lives is not fact at all. Just because we have heard things for a long time, or the fact that we are comfortable with items that we accept as facts, does not prove them. Sense perception can definitely lead you astray. For instance, it was commonly accepted that the Earth was the center of the universe, and that the Sun and stars rotated around the Earth. It is readily apparent when you look up at the sky. Even though it is readily apparent, it is 100% false! Of course, this is just a metaphor for the myriad items in our lives that we accept as fact in our lives. This article is about another person who is challenging the lies and fraud that are being foisted upon the public. She has stood for truth in an era when truth is scorned. But then again, it would appear that truth has been scorned throughout virtually all of human history, and it has been definitely scorned in modern history.

Do yourself a favor and intently read and understand the two above articles. There is a quote that says that telling the truth in a time of universal deceit is an act of courage. But in order to tell the truth at that time, one must first be able to identify the truth. Today, most people's ability to identify truth has been totally inactivated. They have been indoctrinated to believe fiction over fact, lie over truth, the convenient instead of the whole story, the 'company line' regardless of how absurd it can be. It is just a lot easier (short-term only) to go along with the deception than to stand up for truth and deal with the contempt and persecution that results from going against the norm. Although it is easier to go along with the lie, one day, all the interest charges that accrue from the lie will be called. And they will be paid, in full...
