De facto dictatorship USA
|
by Leon Fisher, Unknown News
Aug. 17, 2004
Powerful interests from within and without have collectively, and over
time, by means of bribery, intimidation, blackmail, and assassination,
usurped the Constitutionally-mandated government of the United
States.
We are now living in a de facto dictatorship.
In the White House
we have an unelected idiot with name recognition only, useful only for
those who installed him there and very little else.

In order to remain in
control of the government in Washington, and to perpetuate the power of
the Oligarchs, only candidates acceptable to the Oligarchs will be
tolerated.
These candidates already exist, commonly called "career
politicians" or "Washington insiders," etc., and any other candidates,
any candidates espousing opinions and policies contrary to that of the Oligarchs,
never make it past the primaries.

Both Houses of
Congress are little more than a rubber stamp, with voting records proving
a willingness to support legislation favorable to the ruling elite,
contrary to the good of the people. As for the Supreme Court, its part
in the criminal theft of the 2000 presidential election, helping
precipitate the events of September 11, 2001, will live forever in infamy.

Pay no attention
to that man
behind the curtain

Among the
many special interest groups and powerful lobbies whose wealth and
influence have stolen the voice of the people, there exists an entity without
conscience or loyalty, whose greed is insatiable, capable of any act
which will advance its agenda. I will refer to this entity henceforth as
the Oligarchs.
The dictionary defines the word 'oligarch' as a member a
small exclusive class in which the supreme power of government has been
placed in their hands. Although power is firmly in the hands of the
Oligarchs, they remain anonymous, a shadow government.
To create the
perception of normalcy for the average citizen, and to keep the more
petty and mundane duties of government going, career
politicians are used. But matters of real importance are decided in advance
and in private by members of the Oligarchy, and only later are a
powerless President and Congress allowed to engage in empty debate, and to cast
a useless vote or a veto, all for the benefit of the citizenry to
further the illusion of legitimacy.
|
Elections, an important aspect of a
democracy and an indispensable exercise of a free people, are allowed to
continue, but this of course has become just another illusion to
keep the general public ignorant and manageable.

Critisized or ignored by the
mainstream media and rejected by their respective political parties,
not even a candidate with popular grassroots support stands a chance. We
have seen this happen many times in the recent past.
The Oligarchs have
our candidates chosen for us, and there is nothing we can do about
it.
Voting therefore has become irrelevant.
The freedom born in 1776 is
no more.
