- It should be apparent to all sane persons that the term
"exercise in futility" was coined with the US system of voting
in Presidents in mind. One does not need to be a genius to understand this
simple fact. Were it not for the dangerous situation that has been created
by our greedy politicos and their corporate handlers, the entire thing
would be laughable.
-
- Imagine, if you will, that it is the year 1929. You live
in a small town in the Deep South. Elections for local Sheriff are coming
up and there are two contenders for the job. Both are full-fledged, card-carrying
members of the KKK with numerous cross burnings, lynchings and beatings
of blacks under their belt. Both are fully approved by the wealthy, white
ruling class. It's just a matter of how many votes each candidate manages
to get. Regardless of who wins, the KKK wins. Nothing changes! Consider
that there are possibly only 600 members of the secretive Skull and Bones
alive in the US. What are the odds that out of a population of some 260
million supposedly thoughtful Americans, the main contenders for the top
governmental spot will be Bonesmen? Such an outcome would be most unlikely
without massive, behind the scenes, financial manipulation to assure that
only these two men, Bush and Kerry are kept before the public as the only
two choices worth considering.
-
- If there is any difference between these two candidates
it is merely one of style. Nothing will change with the election/selection
of either one of them. With Bush, the US suffered terrifying and destructive
body blows that left the population reeling and the country going down
for the count. There is nothing that Kerry proposes to do, or has the will
and the personal power to do, that will change the direction that Bush
has set us and the world on. Most of those who are promoting Kerry are
doing so on the basis of hope. By embracing what they see as the "lesser
of two weevils", they are hoping that, somehow, Kerry, will save our
butts. This is the kind of vain hope that springs eternal in the heart
of deluded humans.
-
- I recently attended a lecture by Chalmers Johnson, author
of "Blowback" and "Sorrows of Empire". While he endorses
Kerry, he is quick to point out that he is not very optimistic about the
future, and that only a grassroots uprising will change things. Yet, the
majority of Americans continue to believe in the election process. How
naive! It is the very same election process that got us into this mess!
So, once and for all, here is why the entire election system is a massive
fraud and will not work.
-
- Think 2000! Hundreds of thousands of voters in Florida
were disenfranchised, most of them Democrats. Factions loyal to the Republicans
were placed in charge of the voting. A huge mess ensued. The only way to
have sorted out the problems would have been to do an extensive manual
recount. If that was not possible, the only fair thing would have been
to revote after reinstating those disenfranchised and eliminating the phony
overseas ballots, etc. We all know what happened. The recount was stopped
when it appeared that Bush was going to lose. Not only that, but the Supreme
Court of the land weighed in on behalf of the Republican candidate and
selected him as President, even when it was obvious that he had lost! To
make matters worse the Democratic candidate refused to demand a recount
and acquiesced to the selection of the President by Judges friendly to
Bush the Senior, clearly betraying those who voted for him.
-
- With this in mind, my questions to those who still belive
their vote counts are, "What makes you think that contingencies are
not already in place that will totally nullify your vote? How do you know
that your vote that counts will really be counted? How do you know that,
should another "Florida debacle" occur again, that our Judges
will not get involved once more and decide who should be President?
-
- The American people and the entire so-called democratic
process were betrayed in 2000. We are going into 2004 with the same system.
No one has been held liable and accountable for the debacle in Florida.
We have lived 4 years with a President who is not. He is still being treated
as President and incumbent. Kerry is running against an opponent who lost
the last elections based on the popular vote! This is utterly ridiculous.
In addition, we hear nothing of the other candidates whose platform for
the country would be a lot better than anything being offered by the Bush-Kerry
ticket. How many Americans have heard of the Constitution Party and its
platform? If you listen carefully you will hear the Founding Fathers groaning
in their graves.
-
- To see the value of our election process, we need only
look back on the last 4, or 5 elections or so, and try to understand how
America improved by installing this or that politico in the White House.
As Professor Quigley would have put it, we "kicked one bastard out"
only to replace him with another, is all we did. We are where we are precisely
because we were led here by the "heads" we supposedly elected.
It is said that we always get what we deserve. If that is true, then, sadly,
Americans got, these past 4 years what they deserved. Some may want to
change things and get something different, but it remains to be seen what
it is that we now deserve, and what we are to suffer these next 4 years.
Based on our recent history and it burdensome and terrifying karmic implications,
it's not looking very good.
-
- In fact, it looks very, very bad.
