"Democracy Is Dead... Politicians [In] The White House, Senate And Congress [Are] Mere Puppets, Pawns For The ... Oligopoly"

Guess who made the following statement:

We refuse to believe in this new Orwellian America. We prefer the world of
magic, myth and illusion.

Democracy is dead. Oh, the illusion will be kept alive in our history books,
in the rhetoric of politicians, in the manipulated minds of America's 95 million
Main Street investors. The propaganda machine works. Like a child's fairy tale,
democracy has been deeply imbedded in our brains for decades; we prefer
believing old, familiar stories. They comfort us, even when no longer true. The
real democracy, what so many fought and died for since 1776, is dead.

Lobbyists now run America, own America, rule America. Forget the 537
politicians you thought we elected to the White House, Senate and Congress to
run America for us. No, they're mere puppets, pawns for the "Happy Conspiracy,"
an oligopoly, plutocracy, cabal, monopoly all-in-one -- a private club of
America's richest few on Wall Street, in Washington and in Corporate America.

Voters and elections are irrelevant. Lobbyists decide what's in the best
interests of this elite club...

Most voters are destined to live in denial, trapped in mind-numbing illusions replaying over and over as they sit passively, dazed ... they aimlessly drift, unaware of how lobbyists rule America, how lobbyists help the "Happy Conspiracy" rob them blind. ..

Stop kidding yourself. Wake up, you're in denial, in fantasy world, dreaming of a new "American Democracy." Wrong, you no longer live in a democracy. Lobbyists run Washington.

Do you think an anarchist or a hippie or a Venezuelan citizen or a radical alternative blog wrote it?

Nope.

It was an American investment advisor, who writes a regular column on one of the most popular financial news sites (owned by Dow Jones), MarketWatch columnist Paul Farrell.

The Founding Fathers would not recognize modern America.
 
The only thing dead here is reason and logic......
 
too true but some people are just too blinded by mass (controld) media
 
At least this sort of thing is coming out in some forms on the Main Stream Media, and good people within the system speaking out.

That was a great article he wrote and I couldn't find anything wrong with it. I just wish Alan and Co didn't have to respond to EACH and EVERY forum post. Like they live on here or something.
 
It's your quality threads......
 
Only to happy to be providing such quality service!

Your satisfaction is my gratification!
 
Wow! you can taste the sarcasm in the air.... :D
 
I believe the article to be true and have known this for many years. Governments no longer serve the people that elected them.

And having said that, don't you wonder why the OP focuses on the US and not the atrocious regimes in the middle east, such as Iran , Saudi Barbaria, ..........

Maybe those are Islamic countries which makes it all OK in his mind?

I said "Governments", I never singled out the USA ;)
 
I think the US Republicans are really confused why these powerful lobbyists etc. voted so many of them out of Congress and put a liberal in the White House.
