The Lesser of two Evils -- the Degeneration of Western Democracies

Western populations today face an engineered electoral race between two owned major parties, some ‘choice!’ Whatever you may think about the current status quo, one thing is SURE, democracy has been backgrounded by the interests/forces that always win elections -- any differences veneers between the two major parties quickly evaporate post election, as has been proven time and again.

These manipulative interests are known today, they essentially comprise of the mega-wealthy banker/corporate/media power elite, fact! And so elections have been narrowed down to a two-horse, one stable race, which makes democracy a farce, plain to see.

I would refer to these powerful interests as a cabal for simplicity’s sake, though it is clear that indeed populations are dealing with behind-the-scenes interests. This cabal, via its vast ill-gotten wealth, increased and sustained by bought politicians, contribute vast sums to both major parties, which are then forced to serve the interests that support them, also plain to see as every post-election period is plagued with ‘winning’ candidates reneging on promises or pre-election LIES, the status quo remains unperturbed, which is the intention, so why vote? Simply because we, the democratic MAJORITY continue to retain the power of installing and removing governments, though that privilege may soon be lost.

Regardless of which western ‘democracy’ is assessed we see scare tactics employed by both major contenders, here in Australia conservative leaders, aware of their huge loss of credibility, and the disenfranchisement and disengagement of voters have already “warned” that a vote for anyone other than a major party would lead to ruin, as if the system and democracy is not already ruined!

Voters are given narrower and narrower choices to the extent that the race becomes a choice between two reviled, UNREPRESENTATIVE candidates, which is especially evident in the USA, as Clinton and Trump offer no hope for the masses/nation, however, both clearly represent the elite cabal as do other major party candidates in various nations. Populations are therefore faced with bearing the responsibility of ‘their’ choice, which suits the elite cabal just fine, as that is how the entire charade is orchestrated, fear and loathing determine election results not hope, progress and, yes, joy, the joy of enjoying representation and leaders that fulfil the wishes of the thinking MAJORITY.

So the reality of failed democracies and absurd two-horse, one stable race MUST be borne by a fearful, constantly media-intimidated public, which actually has only one fear in reality; that of losing representation and killing democracy/FREEDOM for good.

It becomes plain that these fear tactics and absurd, baseless forecasts that major parties revel in, are scripted for puppet politicians by the elite cabal via the consultants and party advisors they have placed in the ranks of the hierarchies of major parties, though the process today is almost automatic and seamless as the individuals involved have in most cases unknowingly sold their souls to the corrupt system and so the process appears natural not contrived as it is.

And so the PROBLEM of gelded ‘democracy’ persists and the behind-the-scenes cabal always wins, hence the uninterrupted status quo, which constitutes the clearest evidence of managed outcomes. If democracy flourished today radical measures to prevent the deterioration of living standards, remedy the loss of liberties and other democratic privileges and rectify critical environment challenges would have been REALISED decades past, however, as is known by many today, this cabal has an agenda, which reduces to PROFIT and the maintenance of its power at any cost, including nuclear war -- readers would note, if they care to research the matter, the massive 'modernisation'/build-up of nuclear arsenals by western governments world wide, coincidence, not likely! However, in real democratic States this behavioural uniformity would not be occurring as various nations face their own priorities/challenges. I would add, this uniformity/insanity that now grips the democratic world has also been orchestrated and sustained by the elite-owned mass media, notwithstanding that environmental degradation is the greatest threat the world now faces and should be front and centre stage of any international cooperative effort, however, as we see, wars and manic PROFIT-seeking remain the focus of the cabal. I need not labour the point.

Of course, the solution to this critical dilemma is immediately available, the public/masses must see through the tissue thin lies that do nothing constructive for the majority and the planet. We, as the most powerful social force on the planet, MUST assert our rights and power and install REAL representative politicians into power until we restore our governments and democracy to all our nations -- in other words, ignore the LIES and scare tactics of owned major parties and strike back to save our planet and the lives of future generations by withdrawing ALL support from major parties and the clearly poisonous status quo. It really is that simple, as humanity working cooperatively NOT ADVERSARIALLY, has proven it is able to deal with any problem it faces constructively and cooperatively, not destructively and divisively as is evident today.
