The Hard Truth

To be clear, America is not a democracy. “GERYMANDERING” is the commandeering of democracy allowing leaders to choose voters rather than voters choosing leaders. It permeates America, and exists vastly to the naivety of the public, and is “directly” due to bribery in government.Bribery causes an immoral and low-quality leadership willing to violate our sacred tenets and destroy our land for money and power. This has been achieved.

There are tragic truths about America that have gradually evolved in recent decades that are not only decimating our great moral pursuit of equality, but are ending the great example we were setting for the world to become a place of care and fairness. We are no longer the beacon for mankind. We have lost the integrity and quality of thought compatible with our Constitution. The Constitution was our path, our hope to be better and to embrace and respect all of humankind. The clear intent in this great hope has been circumvented providing a course for a smart, dispassionate, and greedy few to achieve wealth and power beyond all measure. 

To be very clear:  If money is removed from politics, you will draw principled patriots with integrity. And if there is no money (etc.) other than what they should properly receive there will be no bribery. The abuse of the stock market by Congress is a current glaring example of how shameful they have become. This is clear robbery from the nation. The removal of money and favor must be codified into law so the very many forms of bribery are not allowed. As long as the likes of pharmaceuticals, tobacco, the NRA, big oil, and everyone else can simply bribe leaders, we have no hope. Look around you. The evidence is clear and everywhere. You can’t even get a law passed to make the sale of an AR-15 to the mentally disturbed illegal. Big pharma and tobacco are allowed to drug us to death by the millions and a few thousand oil executives are allowed design process to destroy earth as we know it. Except for a very few, we have drawn the worst among us to lead.

This land, born with such great intent, has become a land represented by greed and power and cruelty that cause our allies to cringe, and our enemies to dance with glee. A land whose glaring beacon has become being the leader in incarcerations (two million citizens – geared for punishment rather that correction). An insane number of unnecessary jailings that massively surpass Russia, China, Iran and frankly all other lands.  When you research this system, you find it is saturated by unnecessary cold blooded, merciless dispassion. The world has come to see we evolved into this land of human rights violation, and under this leading shameful veneer of unaddressed human horror lies a full reservoir of vast human suffering and destroyed justice designed to serve the rich. Money in politics is the tool that insured the success of this systemic poisoning. It is the {“SINGLE”} tool that guarantees the perpetuation of evil process that wealth has designed.  

These are very hard truths. Hard for an American to take. Many will strongly resent what I offer as it offends both parties and all that we want to believe. But resentment does not alter truth. The systems that inform us are corrupt. Our collective mindset is absent essential truths. Our constitution established the genesis and method for the emergence of pursuit worthy of our humanity. That is equality and a democratic process.  This is the pursuit we needed to be deserved of our significantly evolved place on this earth.

For that pursuit to be achieved it was realized that being guided by one person would restrict us to the belief system of that person. Realizing our collective mindset needed the representation of good and decent leaders and that autocracy was a path to failure, the idea of the collective electing their leadership became part of our great founding.  Due to bribery alone our pursuit has been decimated. Bribery has decimated truth and we are guided by a media that is submerged in the pursuit of lies for money and pleasing the whim of wealth. What do you do as your source of information is tainted by process that sublimates your well being to keep a few super wealthy? The media is the greatest liar of them all. Deceit is a specialty. They do not speak the truth unless it fits their financial agenda. They use algorithms (a filthy heartless tool) to design your mind in ways that make them money. Algorithms, combined with absence of truth, and then deceit, are a trifecta that forms the most vicious and detrimental propaganda tools ever propagated on a people.  

The monopolizing of the media created a few information powerhouses. In each outlet and all of their subsidiaries what you hear funnels down from one person. CNN, MSNBC, FOX and all the rest convey the whim of the individual at the top. These individuals have no rules. They bow to the whim of advertisers that have bought our leaders and insured regulation that would prevent regulating integrity. The first amendment is no longer a tool to ensure truth be known. It has become the protector of lies. The defender of false and tainted information. The media is a profit driven tool. The common good is not even in the picture if it costs money. In this arena the collective is deceived and forms course based on lies and folly that serve only the purveyors. The collective is literally trained to accept the evils that keep the super-rich, super-rich. Rules to serve the common good do not fit in this arena. Nor does democracy. And rules that serve the common good and democracy have both been decimated to serve only wealth.

You need to grasp that Corporations write their own laws and rules. They write legislation. Leaders pass this legislation, much of which is never read. The absurdity is heartbreaking as untold regulation is designed by profiteers to con and deceive you and to take your money. Our leaders are our corrupt and they are fine with this. The most glaring example of corruption is the abuse of the stock market with insider information. They are all guaranteed to leave rich with this ability. They refuse to address this. How sickening is that? As Gwyneth Paltrow gets the headlines. Our leaders are happily bribed.  They know they are bribed. Their world is fine. You do not matter. This exists because a system designed by wealth to run on bribery draws the sycophant, the obsequious, and those to whom selfishness and corruption are just fine. This has taken places which is why these folks, once prefaced by the title “Honorable” are in truth the dregs of society and they are in charge. 

All this is in place because democracy and truth have been decimated. With great stealth and deceiving design, elections are held to make you believe we are a democracy and you matter. Gerrymandering, and the Electoral College are pure deceit. To make you think there is some kind of fair design. Federal and State laws have been designed to guide, stop, reduce, make complicated and disrupt votes and elections. Laws are designed to fit the party in power in given localities causing wins. The goal in all this is to insure the rendering of desired outcomes. The result is far removed from fair elections.  The election process is simply a Trojan Horse.  

The key to all of this for wealth is to perpetuate a system of money in politics so that they retain control. In this arena where the major parties are both polluted, wealth knows they will be fine and enough of us will be appeased no matter the outcome.  What I describe here is the course that keeps them safe.

In this climate, nuclear, population, and climate horror are all unaddressed and on the horizon. Wake up America. Get money out of politics. Make room for the best humans can be to pursue leadership and create a new world of morality, and integrity. Save our kids. Or watch humanity crumble.
