The Big American Lie

Why is it so important for our leaders to maintain the illusion of democracy in the United States?

I mean, we all know that elections have been rigged in the past.

We all know about Boss Tweed and Tammany Hall.

We’ve all heard about Joe Kennedy buying votes in West Virginia for his son John.

We all know that people cheat in all sorts of endeavors in life.

So why do our leaders insist that our elections are pure.

What’s in it for them?

What do they get out of it?

Here’s what they get out of it.

These leaders are members of the oligarchy, albeit lower members.

Members of the oligarchy are expected to go along with what the oligarchy wants, or else they won’t be part of the oligarchy anymore.

Abiding by the oligarchy’s game plan gets you all sorts of benefits.

It’s pretty obvious, isn’t it? Congressmen go in broke and come out 20 years later being worth $50-$100 million.

You can’t make that kind of money making 200,000 a year, not when you’re paying taxes.

In addition to the tons of money you can make by going along with the oligarchy, your children get benefits also. So does your stupid brother.

If any one of your kids wants a cush job at any one of the oligarchy’s networks or newspapers, it’s a done deal.

If any one of your kids wants a job working for a stock brokerage firm, you only need to pick up the phone.

So there are all sorts of benefits by going along with what the oligarchy wants.

But what does the oligarchy get out of it?

How does the oligarchy benefit of rigged elections?

Domestically, that’s easy to see.

They get to put in their people who make the laws their way.

How about with regard to foreign affairs?

Same thing – only there’s an additional benefit.

You see, Americans, don’t like wars, especially when they have to fight them.

For that reason, the oligarchy needs social cover in order to fight their useless wars of imperialism and corporate slavery.

They need to come up with beautiful reasons why we are fighting in Vietnam, the Middle East, Ukraine, or anywhere else.

Fighting for money isn’t going to sell the American people.

However, fighting to export our beautiful democracy to the barbarian beast does sell – especially when that barbarian beast threatens our very existence 12,000 miles away – ha ha.

Thus the need to have a beautiful democracy.

If we don’t have a beautiful democracy, and everyone knows it, then how are the elites in the oligarchy going to sell that war?

It will be very difficult.

That is why they went after the January 6 insurrectionists.

That is why they’re going after Rudy Giuliani.

The stakes are too high.

The Empire is being imperiled.

The oligarchy can’t permit anyone to burst the bubble of the big American lie.
