America's One-Party System: The Party of Power [View all]

[NightOwwl]

War for Profit, Drones, Limits on Freedom, NSA, Big Pharma, Wall Street Connections, Back-room Deals. The government is an entity that has morphed into something obscene. Lobbyists literally buy and sell votes. Many of the jobs and committees exist only to pad someones bank account. What we call politics is a never-ending divide and conquer campaign designed to play people against each other while tptb play their war-for-profit games.

Are there good and decent people in government? People who really want to make a positive change? I'm sure. But they learn fast to shut up and do what they are told. Or they see the corruption first-hand and want no part of it. The really good ones - the ones who don't back down - well, you know what happens to them. Policies, both foreign and domestic, always remain the same regardless of which party holds the majority.



What gets me the most though, is the incredible damage done to the American people in the name of 'freedom and democracy'. It makes me sick, actually. In order to keep the wool over voter's eyes, the Wall of Fear is used. This is a phrase used often by Wall Street insiders - it refers to the 24/7 stream of fear producing 'news' that is designed to keep the populace in a state of constant anxiety. And reading through these forums I can see it is working as planned.

I remember the emotional roller-coaster all too well; the brief celebration when 'my' candidate won, only to feel gut-wrenching disappointment when he seemed to turn into a completely different person almost overnight; the constant worry over who would win the next election; the non-stop hate between right and left. I lived in a fishbowl where everything I experienced was tainted with hate, fear, worry and partisan divisiveness.



If you enjoy the political game, if you are happy and content - I am happy for you. But if you go to bed worried and wake up worried; if you always feel an undercurrent of anxiety - it's not because the world is on the brink of collapse, and it's not because there is something wrong with you. Your emotions are being put through the wringer - on purpose - so politicians can stay in power in their cushy jobs. But you are not obligated in any way to these sadistic, soulless individuals. You can leave the fishbowl for the world, anytime.
