Smith Wed, 01 Jul 2009 19:16:03 +0000 http://www.sfbayview.com/?p=5679#comment-2942 When will we in the United States wake up to the fact that, apart from a handful of powerless shills and dupes, nobody in government represents our interests and we have no way to hold them accountable once they're elected? Policy-making bodies like the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, and the Bilderbergers, select, groom, and approve the candidates, the big corporations fund their campaigns, and we get a choice of which corporate puppet we would prefer to front for wars of aggression, bailouts, and the rest of the globalist corporate agenda. Who would YOU prefer deregulate the banks and finance industry, a Democrat, a Republican, or a third party or independent candidate? Because no matter which one wins, the corporations have the votes in Congress to continue their agenda. Who would YOU prefer outsource your job, a Democrat, a Republican, or a third party or independent candidate? Because no matter which one wins, the corporations have the votes in Congress to continue their agenda. In the 2008 election, both Presidential candidates were committed to war and bailouts. We had a choice between young, Democratic Party, black war and bailouts, or old, Republican Party, white war and bailouts, but peace and fiscal responsibility had absolutely no chance of winning the election, even when they could get on the ballot, as they were excluded from the debates and from major media coverage. So it boiled down to a choice between war and bailouts, or war and bailouts. Is it an election if the choice is between Josef Stalin and Josef Stalin? Voting for people we cannot hold accountable once they're elected, and delegating to them the power of the treasury, the military, and anything else they want, is criminally insane. Even when they're really nice people and their opponents, like in pro wrestling, are evil personified. Rather than giving us a voice in government, when we vote we are abdicating all responsibility for what is done in our name. That always results in overturning the Nuremberg Principles, and in our case it already has, since President Obama has stated that those who committed crimes against humanity under his orders or the orders of his predecessor, should not be prosecuted because they were just following orders. Although some wish to view that as a "lesser evil," the world has never known any greater evil. When will we in the United States wake up to the fact that, apart from a handful of powerless shills and dupes, nobody in government represents our interests and we have no way to hold them accountable once they’re elected?
