Why Are You Voting? A Critical Look At What America Doesn't Understand.

in #politics8 years ago (edited)

I'm offering you a very important invitation to learn something. This information is far more important and revealing than anything you'll learn on TV, at school, or in a newspaper.

Below are some statements, each spoken by highly prominent men of politics whose names you will recognize, such as Woodrow Wilson (pictured above). At some point in these men's lives - just as many voters do - they had generally (and falsely) assumed the government of the United States to be one of general fairness, justice, democracy and due process.

However, it's rather clear that these men were awakened by a hard, cold, and devastating realization.

Consider, before simply dismissing their words, that there is nobody more qualified to make these statements than the very men who spoke them. These men held the literal direct experience and first hand knowledge. I cannot think of anyone who could lend more credibility than the men who personally dealth with these powers, entities, and atrocities of which they speak.

Remember, if it was said over 100 years ago, you can bet your life savings that these facts stand even more true today. I encourage you to read slowly, to truly let their words sink in, and to absorb the critical seriousness of these statements.

"A power has risen up in the government greater than the people themselves, consisting of many and various powerful interests, combined in one mass, and held together by the cohesive power of the vast surplus in banks."John C. Calhoun, Vice President (1825-1832) and U.S. Senator, from a speech given on May 27, 1836.

"A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is privately concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men… We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated, governments in the civilized world—no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and the duress of small groups of dominant men."Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the United States, The New Freedom, 1913.

"The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson.” - Franklin Delano Roosevelt, 32nd President of the United States (1933–1945), in a letter to Colonel Edward M House dated November 21, 1933, as quoted in F.D.R.: His Personal Letters, 1928-1945.

"The individual is handicapped by coming face-to-face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists. The American mind simply has not come to a realization of the evil which has been introduced into our midst. It rejects even the assumption that human creatures could espouse a philosophy which must ultimately destroy all that is good and decent.”J. Edgar Hoover, The Elks Magazine, 1956.

"The Rockefellers and their allies have, for at least fifty years, been carefully following a plan to use their economic power to gain political control of first America, and then the rest of the world. Do I mean conspiracy? Yes, I do. I am convinced there is such a plot, international in scope, generations old in planning, and incredibly evil in intent." - Congressman Larry P. McDonald, November 1975, from the introduction to a book titled The Rockefeller File.

"There exists a shadowy government with its own Air Force, its own Navy, its own fundraising mechanism, and the ability to pursue its own ideas of national interest, free from all checks and balances, and free from the law itself."Daniel K. Inouye, US Senator from Hawaii, testimony at the Iran Contra Hearings, 1986.

"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of."Edward Bernays (“the father of public relations”), Propaganda, 1928 (the book begins with the above quote).

"Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it."Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the United States, The New Freedom, 1913.

"The real menace of our Republic is the invisible government, which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy legs over our cities, states and nation… The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes. They practically control both parties, … and control the majority of the newspapers and magazines in this country. They use the columns of these papers to club into submission or drive out of office public officials who refuse to do the bidding of the powerful corrupt cliques which compose the invisible government. It operates under cover of a self-created screen [and] seizes our executive officers, legislative bodies, schools, courts, newspapers and every agency created for the public protection."New York City Mayor John F. Hylan, Speech in New York, March 26, 1922.

"Mr. Chairman, we have in this country one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Banks. The Federal Reserve Board, a Government board, has cheated the Government of the United States and the people of the United States out of enough money to pay the national debt…Mr. Chairman, when the Federal Reserve act was passed, the people of the United States did not perceive that a world system was being set up here… and that this country was to supply financial power to an international superstate — a superstate controlled by international bankers and international industrialists acting together to enslave the world for their own pleasure."Congressman Louis T. McFadden, from a speech delivered to the House of Representatives on June 10, 1932.

"Today the path to total dictatorship in the U.S. can be laid by strictly legal means… We have a well-organized political-action group in this country, determined to destroy our Constitution and establish a one-party state… It operates secretly, silently, continuously to transform our Government… This ruthless power-seeking elite is a disease of our century… This group…is answerable neither to the President, the Congress, nor the courts. It is practically irremovable." – Senator William Jenner, 1954 speech.*

"The very word “secrecy” is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings… Our way of life is under attack. Those who make themselves our enemy are advancing around the globe… no war ever posed a greater threat to our security. If you are awaiting a finding of “clear and present danger,” then I can only saythat the danger has never been more clear and its presence has never been more imminent… For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence–on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day.It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed."John F Kennedy, 35th President of the United States, from a speech delivered to the American Newspaper Publishers Association on April 27, 1961.

"Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of the day."Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, An Autobiography, 1913 (Appendix B).

 
Ask yourself.. Why is it that you're voting? Why do you have faith in a system that is nothing of what it claims to be? Why do you turn to proven theives, liars and traitors to fix your common problems when it's historically proven that these people have no such intentions, and further, no such ability?

We need to understand that there is no "better future" with the current system. There is no improvement coming, only regression. The election itself is nothing more than trickery. Not only do your votes not count, the election itself only occurs to provide the illusion that "We the People" have a choice and that democracy is alive and well. It is not. Democracy is dead, and the evidence is all around you. You are continuing to live in a bubble of statism and total indoctrination. Politics does not, I repeat DOES NOT work like we've been told it does. In fact, the president holds very little power to make any sort of serious change - in any area. The president, as well as congress, are nothing more than a public relations team for the shadowy movers and shakers who control business, banking, and the shaping of our society.

These accusations are not a joke, nor are they some paranoid theory. They are fact. There is not a single person involved in politics who resebmles - in even the slightest fashion - a humanitarian, an intellectual, a thinker, a dreamer, a revolutionary, a hero.

Stop acting on your emotions. Stop believing these bullshit ideas about politics and policy which are nothing more than the ideas handed down from schools, media, and government officials . Stop adopting the ideologies of others. Stop waiting for politicians to change your world. Stop acting like an adult child who requires the government to hold your hand through life, making all your important decisions. Take responsibility for your life, and for your mind.

Where is your mind at? Where is your originality? Where is your ability to question and problem solve? For what reason to you follow this pathetically false idea that elections are legitimate or that a politician truly holds your interests at heart? For what reason do you continue to lie to yourself?

Wake up, America. Instead of asking for immediate answers to all the world's woes, start with asking yourself why you keep falling for the same trick, year after year, election after election, decade after decade.

It is not until you can identify the core problem that you can begin to understand it, let alone take action. It's time to graduate into adulthood. Empower yourself. Inform yourself. Deny the ideas of others and begin shape your own - it's the only route to real change.

I Know that they only way to get out of this type of system is having 51% or more believe that government is morally wrong. Because until that happens the 49% or lower will not be able to vote their way out of this blind slavery. I don't want a revolution of war, death and destruction is rampant with the technology we have today. I want people to come together peacefully and understand that government, forcing each other to do the will of the politicians who make the laws, is morally wrong and we need to end government through peaceful means. One first step is voting government out. If that nation knows that more than 51% voted to abolish government then we can truly then claim that our system is rigged and it is false and then I may support a revolution but only in self defense of the rights that have been stolen from me. I would not revolt to form a new government but rather to be my own government.

Agreed. One of the biggest challenges lies in getting the average overworked & underread person to grasp the true severity of the problem, as well as the core problem. The current system is not making any forward progress. None. Globally, we're making no legitimate forward movement as a species. Living in a world of war, fear, lies, debt and hatrid is not symbolic of an advanced society. We're very capable of creating a radically different and improved condition but it requires a personal responsibility which we've been led to believe we cannot handle.

Education is a critical factor here, and it's hard to reason with people in a society where everyone recieves 12+ years of indoctrination by government-regulated cirriculum.

Thank you.

Thanks for reading.

Some people will belive anything a politician says specialty if it's targeted at them and what better them

Great article. It is time to wake up and take responsibility ourselves for creating what we want in our lives, our homes, our families and our communities. Government is not going to do anything but feed itself.
The power of we the people has always with the people, not our governors.
They work hard to keep us divided for if we unite, change is inevitable.
