Moral Judgments Lose In The Court Of American Opinion The
presidential primary season well underway in the United States continues
to categorically demonstrate the low level of consciousness on which
the powerful feed. As John Kerry, the Skull and Bones fraternity brother
of the presiding Criminal-In-Chief, racks up the votes necessary to
win his party's nomination, we are told the foremost reason for his
success thus far is that Democratic voters believe he is the “most
electable”. Not only is this thinking completely erroneous, it
is also a certain precursor to the rise of overt fascism in the land
that pays so much lip service to individual liberty.
Deciding to choose a candidate on the basis of “electability” means that the opinion of what others think is more important than your own personal values. “I love what candidate Kucinich stands for,” many Democrats have reasoned, “but I just don't think he can beat Bush in the general election.” Whether the candidate is Kucinich, the most principled man among the Democratic candidates, or any of the others really doesn't matter. What truly matters in a democracy is the platform on which a candidate is willing to stand. As long as “electability” remains the chief factor in the vote, the power of people is lost; traded in for the pre-packaged Madison Avenue sound bytes whose main objective is to control what voters focus on, and only then at the shallowest levels of discretion. What a candidate stands for easily becomes blurred and the banal popularity contest ensues, much the same way generals ascended to power in Rome and other fascist countries across the span of history. Platforms, however, need even more scrutiny than candidates. For example, Democratic platforms are largely written in the same halls of power that the Republican platforms are. If the Democratic Party truly represented the “average working American”, it would seem logical that the average working man be regularly consulted on the issues of the day, and not through watered down opinion polls that narrow “appropriate” responses. As William Greider asked in his book, Who Will Tell The People, “When was the last time your political party invited you to a local meeting to discuss politics or policy?” What remains of modern American democracy for the common people is fraudulent journalism, mass mailings at election time, requests for contributions, AOL polls, and increasingly aggressive email campaigns. The power and voice of the people has been effectively castrated from the political process. But even the best-intentioned platforms are subject to sabotage by ill designing minds. Socialism and Communism had the liberation of humanity as their stated goals, but the capitalist mind invaded these philosophies and rendered them impotent. The same is now being done to the cherished American Constitution, though in truth, the process of dismantling the character on which such a constitution depends began many decades before any Patriot Act was ever enacted. True change will not occur until the many reclaim their divinity and throw the parasitic power culture off our collective backs. Held down by manipulative technology, poisonous food additives, and a great deal of occult magic, humans everywhere have a mighty challenge in front of them. It really doesn't matter what system or philosophy one decides to adopt while struggling to break free. Any system can be abused and any one can be liberating. What matters most is the mind that is using it. It was stated earlier that the notion of “electability” is false. The truer understanding is that Democratic voters are choosing John Kerry at the present moment because he is more selectable. In other words, the powers that be really wouldn't mind if Senator Kerry won the election in November. He is as much a part of the Eastern Establishment that has been ruling this country for the European Aristocracy since the War of Independence was won over two centuries ago. Candidates that offer real reform, like Mr. Kucinich, are experiencing true obstacles that other reformers have found before, and will most likely fail in his stalwart attempt to fight for workers. Unlearners know that human freedom cannot be won by anyone “fighting for them”. The power that freedom gives is available to all in this very instant. What is missed by the ignorant many of this world is that such a possibility even exists. It is to that end that unlearners everywhere would be better suited to strive for. Einstein once said that a problem couldn't be solved by the consciousness that created it. Those who continue to turn to the political system for an end to the madness ruling planet earth are wasting their own time. But the choice, as always, is yours…even if it has already been selected for you. Whose Life are You Living? |
