They say we live in a Democracy. That is the biggest lie and the first told to us by our Republican forms of government. Even the Pledge of Allegiance says, “I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands…” There is no mention of a democracy. It is no different from the Chinese, who still called their party the Communist Party when communism fell in 1989, and the people have private ownership today. Communism means there is no private ownership. They no more live in a Communist States than we live in a Democracy. China has more BILLIONAIRES than Europe and is only second to the United States.
At least in China, it is understandable why they did not change the party’s name. They would have had to remove Mao’s image everywhere, even from the currency. The Russians toppled the statues of Lenin everywhere, and Putin even said Lenin was just a Bolsevick and not a great statement.
So if China pretends it’s Communist so they do not have to say Mao was wrong, unlike the Russians, then I suppose here in Europe and America, we can pretend to be a Democracy when we are just republics. Democracy means we, the people, vote, but we are never asked to vote on anything. Nobody asks, shall we go to war with Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran all simultaneously raise your hand? Even more strangely, it appears Russia is the only one not pretending. They admit that they are a republic, so those elected make decisions. That is what a republic does. Politicians make decisions by pretending to be “representatives” of the people. They people never get a chance to vote directly. That is the difference from a real democracy.
But the more I meet with politicians, the more I see we do not even live in a republic. We are told we vote for one person because we like their ideas, but when they get to Washington, they are told how to vote. You see, most votes are down the party line. Even a decision out of the Supreme Court is often touted as right vs left. We are told that Putin is evil, and he is really a dictator. But here in the good old USA, those who are really running government NEVER stand for election. We call them the Deep State Bureaucrats.
These people are always there regardless of who is currently in the political administration. Biden is on vacation 40% of the time, and Kamala is busy campaigning. Nobody asks who is actually running the government?
We have no right to vote on ANY issue, no less about war. They did not like Herman Goring’s answer about how did they get the German people to follow Hitler. His answer was absolutely correct. They use psychological warfare tactics against us by demonizing their target. They did that with Saddam Hussein, and they are doing that to Putin. They use this same tactic against we the people as they have targeted Trump with such hatred and even RFK. The press feeds into this agenda and turns up the hatred even more, ensuring they are dividing the nation.
The Russian people no more support such a war than the American and European people. Harry Patch, the last surviving veteran from World War I when he was 111 years old, had the best suggestion for war.
” I felt then, as I feel now, that the politicians who took us to war should have been given the guns and told to settle their differences themselves,
instead of organizing nothing better than legalized mass murder.”
