I disapprove of democracy, because democracy guarantees that the lowest, most base and spiritually bankrupt men inevitably lay their hands on the instruments of power. In fact, it has been designed that way. The legacy of democracy is the greatest and most murderous crimes and outrages against the very fabric of human existence itself.
Electoral democracy is the rule over the masses through a predictable mathematical method of control which defines its parameters and its lines of communications. People vote, and it changes nothing.
I support no system of government, except for perhaps a flexible template based on the early Medina model of Islamic Khaliphite. But those who believe that democracy places power in the hands of the people are wrong, dead wrong. It was not so designed, nor does the possibility exist for it to do so; except insofar as it may create the illusion of "government of the people, by the people and for the people" (ironic that that quote should come from Lincoln: a Republican. But look at the freak show that party has degenerated into). At best, it offers only the possibility of causing governmental change in areas that cannot, in the long run, threaten the oligarchical top of the pyramid, nor affect any real change in the structure of society itself.
Democracy is a smokescreen, a political sleight of hand. It never was anything else, nor can it ever be anything else. It is a brilliantly orchestrated lie that generation after generation fall for and not only believe, but fight with their very lives to preserve. Consider the Orwellian Doublethink necessary for those who claim to be Republicans to constantly yap on and on about "democracy"; when the essence of their own party is in opposition to this.
And I promise you that those in power have a, let's be kind and say, cavalier attitude toward their underlings. Make no mistake about the attitude of the rulers of this world toward their servants. Napoleon once bragged that he could get men to sacrifice their lives in exchange for a piece of cloth. Once the wife of a German general complained to Hitler about the young men who were dying in the war. He looked at her incredulously and said "But that's what they're there for!"
And in recent years, young men are sent to slaughter and be slaughtered in Persia and Southeast Asia. They are told they are fighting for "Freedom and Democracy", and have the rhetoric of honor and patriotism on their lips: and all the while multinational corporations and banking cartels become richer and richer, and all the world's wealth is moved toward a smaller and smaller group of men to the impoverishment of all others. And the "leaders" make speeches about how "proud they are of the sacrifices our boys are making". It is no different from communism (except in the matter of distribution of resources), its power inevitably centers around a small group of people.
It can never be otherwise.
Obama? To be sure, Obama's policies are different from Bush's, and I believe him to be a good man. I voted for him because Ron Paul was not running - and I would have rather disemboweled myself with a butter knife than vote for McCain and Palin (I wonder: did the GOP deliberately throw the election? Did they take a dive? And on who's orders? You suppose that when the Bush administration "bought" a controlling interest in the banks, the presidency was no longer necessary?)
But why did Obama appoint a hard core Zionist to Chief of State? Why does he go on about keeping jobs in the US and then appointing as his Secretary of Commerce a staunch supporter of outsourcing? Why does he consider Israel "our friends" whom "we must protect", when in reality they're sucking billions out of our economy and playing the US (such as it is) like a cheap violin (and doing to Palestine the same thing the Nazis did to the Jews - more democracy!!)?" Why did he push the economic stimulus bill through when the only people really gaining from it are the banking oligarchy and the multinational corporations?
Last September, there was a moment where the entire world's economy was three hours away from total economic collapse. Why does he not admit the real cause of this: that the entire system simply does not work and only exists to make bankers richer? I'll tell you why. Because all these people have his - or any president's - you know what in a vice grip.The office of the president has no real power. He is answerable not to congress, the people, or the constitution: he's answerable only to the corporate economic power structure.
I tell you this:if Obama doesn't play ball by their rules, if he actually makes the changes that truly need to be made, he'll end up like Kennedy - and his "martyrdom" would be "spin-doctored" into more rhetorical to support the "democratic" power structure. When the bottom drops out of the economy, "they" won't be able to save their oily hides except by declaring martial law,pushing the NAU into existence, and a civil war starts. Which, of course, will bring everyone to whom the US owes money (and Israel, who will betray us at the earliest conceivable opportunity) rolling in with guns, tanks, jet bombers, etc. to cut out a piece for themselves. When this happens, watch what he says.
Besides the White House takes its orders from the Federal Reserve, and has done so since president Wilson submissively handed the wealth and economic power of the US to a private group of bankers in 1913. The National Security Act of 1947 pretty much abolished the Constitution (1947: the same year the terrorist nation Israel came into being. Coincidence?). So, where does that leave us??? Where's this precious democracy now?
This BS piles up so high you could use it to build a suspension bridge to the moon, two luxury hotels on Mars, and have enough left over for an Exxon-Mobil gas station on Venus. Change?? The more things change, the more it stays the same.
Sorry folks, I ain't drinking the Kool-Aid!
This is Democracy. And unless we accept the "2012" rhetoric, or we find a way to bring about a collective apotheosis; human nature itself is unlikely to evolve beyond its basic hierarchical primate behavioral template any time soon.
