Democracy is a system of control

Brian Berletic today:

It was this exact flawed thinking that led millions of Americans and many commentators to enthusiastically anticipate the Trump administration ending multiple US wars, proxy wars and worldwide interference that has only - very predictably - expanded instead.

'Understanding a problem is paramount to solving it. 

'If one thinks US policy is determined by electoral outcomes instead of by unelected corporate interests, focus will be placed on influencing otherwise meaningless elections only ensuring the problem persists.

'This is by design to prevent corporate interests from being the focal point of public attention instead of endless election cycles and an endless supply of disposable politicians. 

'Western-style "democracy" is a system of control, not one of self-determination.

'While electoral cycles are designed to move us emotionally - empirically they are an exercise in manipulating, not empowering us.'

These last sentences are extremely true of Romania and probably of most 'democratic' countries. 

Fights about social liberalism are distractions.

If an election produces a wrong result it's cancelled. When a referendum produces the wrong result, another referendum is held until the electors get it right, then no further referendums. 

Blair and Mandelson, friend of Epstein, tried very hard to do this in England with Brexit but failed. But they came close.
