Flashback: Middle East Wars Preplanned Before and After 911

With all the lies and fake news coming from mainstream media, Americans need to take a look back at how and why we are here. All wars are bankers' wars. Americans have been manipulated to support the devastation in the Middle East so neocon/liberal politicians and their no bid contract corporations could ravage the sector. 

General Wesley Clark: Wars Were Planned -

 Seven Countries In Five Years 

These acts of war for profit and resources are why we have migrant/refugee problems. Why women in Europe are being beaten and raped on a daily basis. Why terror acts are now common place.

The United Nations and economic block trade agreements like the EU and NAFTA are huge deterrents to peace. These corporations create economic problems such as the influx of unskilled, uneducated militants who deplete social safety nets and the patience of the host countries, by design of the elites. The elites are protected by armed guards while the rest of us deal with gangs, drugs, human trafficking, and destruction caused by the open borders philosophy.

If you love Open Borders so much, then go ask a Native American how that worked out for them.

If you do not know or understand the past, you are doomed to repeat it. The Native Americans were pitted against each other by foreign invaders... currently called undocumented immigrants. The tribes lost their lands and freedoms. Soon North America became a European settlement and Native Americans were enslaved.

Isn't Open Borders fun?

The Catholic Church destroyed and enslaved the native populations in Latin America, yet Spanish speakers glorify the mythical Aztland and tell Europeans to leave the lands for their urban legend. (By the way, you lost your land because you lost a war. Lookup your two treaties!) Uninformed. Uneducated. Unskilled. Illegal aliens are used as militants to foment clashes of ideology and call people racists for social control in order to lead an invasion of someone else's sovereign lands.

Sounds familiar, doesn't it?

All the World is a Stage... maybe it is time we retire some actors so the people of the free Earth can finally live in peace.

End refugee and migrant programs that only seek to cause civil unrest, disobedience, and culture wars. End the wars in the Middle East and send everyone back home. End multilateral trade agreements to flood sovereign nations with uninformed, uneducated, and unskilled illegal aliens.

Go live at George Clooney's, George Soros', Al Gore's, or Madonna's houses. They have a lot more breakable things than the average American does.

And probably 4D televisions, a pool, top notch alcohol, and rad automobiles to help you relax after a hard day rioting and looting in American streets waiving your foreign national flags all the while pledging your allegiance to Stalin, Lenin, and the Islamic State.

Because isn't that the point?

Don't Blame Policy on Average Americans, We Don't Have a Voice

"The right of voting for representation is the primary right by which other rights are protected."

-- Thomas Paine

In the article, Who rules America?, the world gets a preview of what awake Americans have been stating for a long time: private interests and money have infected our government to the point that voters are irrelevant.

The new study, with the jaw-clenching title of "Testing Theories of American Politics: Elites, Interest Groups, and Average Citizens," is forthcoming in the fall 2014 edition of Perspectives on Politics. Its authors, Martin Gilens of Princeton University and Benjamin Page of Northwestern University, examined survey data on 1,779 national policy issues for which they could gauge the preferences of average citizens, economic elites, mass-based interest groups and business-dominated interest groups. They used statistical methods to determine the influence of each of these four groups on policy outcomes, including both policies that are adopted and rejected.

The analysts found that when controlling for the power of economic elites and organized interest groups, the influence of ordinary Americans registers at a "non-significant, near-zero level." The analysts further discovered that rich individuals and business-dominated interest groups dominate the policymaking process. The mass-based interest groups had minimal influence compared to the business-based interest groups.

The study also debunks the notion that the policy preferences of business and the rich reflect the views of common citizens. They found to the contrary that such preferences often sharply diverge and when they do, the economic elites and business interests almost always win and the ordinary Americans lose.

The authors also say that given limitations to tapping into the full power elite in America and their policy preferences, "the real world impact of elites upon public policy may be still greater" than their findings indicate.

Ultimately, Gilens and Page conclude from their work, "economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence."

What the article fails to reconcile is that average Americans do not have the ability to combat elite interests just on the basis of organization.

Average Americans have much more to worry about than organizing for political competition, but that's the point. If voters are unable to feed, clothe, or even house themselves or their families, then they will be unable to rectify the current inequality at the voting booth. 

The elite power structure has seen to the demise of the economy, jobs, healthcare, nutritious food, clean water, viable energy sources, and acceptable air quality. 

And, if you protest, the militarized police force will be sent to squash your every move and mainstream media will call you terrorists. 

This article argues that all Americans have to do is raise funds and buy a politician like George Soros or the Koch brothers. Perhaps we should do more than debase our government any further than it already has been. Maybe, we need to get back to American values.

"... the portrait is excellent in proportion to its being a good likeness,...the legislature ought to be the most exact transcript of the whole society... the faithful echo of the voices of the people."

-- James Wilson, at the Constitutional Convention 

Instead of playing the game of buy influence, America should overturn unconstitutional agendas like Citizens United and implement an old philosophy: equal protection under the law. It's not equal if someone with more money can buy it from others.

Americans are supposed to have equal representation. That is how our system is based. It's what keeps everyone being able to voice their opinion.

Therefore America should halt all buying of influence that is degrading our system and return to what our country was based on.

"The principal difficulty lies, and the greatest care should be employed in constituting this representative assembly. It should be in miniature an exact portrait of the people at large. It should think, feel, reason and act like them. That it may be the interest of the assembly to do strict justice at all times, it should be an equal representation, or, in other words, equal interests among the people should have equal interests in it. Great care should be taken to effect this, and to prevent unfair, partial and corrupt elections."

- John Adams, Thoughts on Government, 1776

Obviously isn't it time for better representation based on the 99% then just the top 1%, don't you?
