There is no Left or Right, Oligarchs and Plutocrats Rule Today

I lament the fact that the so-called alternative media has also been swept up in the charade/ruse of democratic elections. An elementary school kid is able to trace the money and easily appreciate who actually rules and yet the blind lead the blind with ‘left and right’ illusions when in fact it is the oligarchs and plutocrats that determine who takes leadership of all western nations today.

The appearance of difference between leading candidates is entirely illusory or worse, deceitful (Obama); surely today it is obvious that no one person is able to counter the influence of the banking and corporate sector? If by some miracle a representative populist leader is elected and does not do what he or she is told then the corporate mass media immediately subverts that leader until they are deposed, how many times have we witnessed this?

Now take stock of reality. It has been stated accurately and clearly by many contributors to this site that the war in Syria is a proxy, interventionist, ‘regime change’ war, and who is it that desires to redraw maps of the Middle East and elsewhere, the oligarchy/plutocracy of course, they are profit-only driven and to hell with human life or the environment.

The TPP has recently been approved by Congress (virtual ratification), enabling corporate and mercantile interests to override the sovereign rights of signatory nations, imagine a private concern being able to override democratically elected governments and the law of the land because that is exactly what the TPP does; we (the free world) are in fact engaged in a silent war with commercial interests that seek total dominion over the globe and the puppet, bought politicians that assist these nefarious interests are simply treasonous lackeys, plain to see, yet no action is taken as these interests control the western mass media, including public broadcasters and distract the masses from actual reality.

It seems these dark forces have won for the moment though history dictates that Truth will finally be known but not until elite interests create the circumstances for their own downfall – what a pity that humanity/nations have always been hard learners, and what’s even worse, humanity never seems to learn from previous mistakes, as history clearly indicates an almost pathological cyclic process of repeated errors.

O well, whatever will be is already KNOWN by those that have the eyes to see. George Orwell simply viewed the current trends of his time and easily saw their obvious conclusions when he wrote his ‘prophetic’ and incisive works, it is simply a matter of opening yours eyes to the broader revealing view. And if you wish to take the narrowest view possible, simply tune in to the mass or ‘alternative’ media – both are myopic to the extreme. The tragedy of course is that the masses are none the wiser, at least not at this point in time.
