Democracy Lives!

By Adam Engel

10 August, 2007
Countercurrents.org


Maybe we’ve never been lied to at all. It’s in the constitution’s deceptively democratic language and supporting literature such as the Federalist papers and “oppositional” writings by Madison and Jefferson and the gang. They all wanted to keep their property, they just couldn’t agree on the most subtle, persuasive, game plan.

The country IS and has always been a democracy for Our Masters — rich, propertied, white men. It is a democracy for THEM to this day, regardless of what BuschCo, hired out by the real owners of America, does to the rest of us. Our Masters will vote democratically on corporate boards. Our Masters’ “public” servants will vote democratically in Congress, each representative voting in accordance with his/her affiliated corporate interest whose board democratically selected him or her for office.

Our Masters will vote on when and where the next WAR will be, and THEY will vote on when to finally withdraw any semblance of democracy from the masses as surely as they’ll vote on how much sugar to pump into your kid’s breakfast cereal. The masses never would have known (or cared about) “democracy” in the first place if not for a few do-gooder meddlers in the Courts and Congress rewriting the Constitution to include, of all people, the PEOPLE.

Our Masters will be voting long after the 200 some odd year charade of “electoral politics” has been shut down once and for all and “we the people” are put back in our proper places, though mercifully, blacks will merely be imprisoned and economically oppressed, not enslaved (i.e. status quo). And women can pretend that they have “equal rights” as long as no one gets uppity or bitchy. And the Indians or Native Nations or whatever you call them? Well, as now as in the beginning: fuck ‘em.

The Bush legacy at Yale. Skull and Bones:

“Heard his Dad’s close to Nixon”
“Whose Dad isn’t?”
“Head of the CIA.”
“Ooh. Spook me out. My dad OWNS the CIA.”

Our Masters laughed at the few hundred grad-students and undergrads studying at Yale due to intellectual predilections, hard work, discipline, vigor, who would end up working for THEM and, of all people, that CLOWN Bush, the cheerleader, “Gofer George” (”Georgie, gofer some beer,” “Georgie, gofer some weed,” “Georgie, gofer some blow”).

As it was then, so it is today.

Our Masters played a Huge joke on America’s underclass (the other 90 percent of us) by democratically selecting “Gofer George,” Class Clown, Buffoon extraordinaire, as “President”.

See, their whole plan was to wreck the government as it stood, for militaristic and right-wing as it was, it just wasn’t aggressive enough nor did it fulfill its function as The Masters’ Corporate Security Agency.

THEY wanted to deal straight with the Military, always the most faithful, straight-talking servants, far more disciplined and effective than those fat, bloviating lawyers hired out as so-called “legislators.”

THEY wanted the Government to carry out their financial, foreign and domestic decisions, but because of the whole failure of the Constitution, which makes it necessary to hire politicians, judges, Presidents, who depend to some extent on the “people” to “elect” them so there’s all those campaign fees and costly media empires to “persuade” the people when it would be so much easier and CHEAPER to have one servant class, the military, carry out all these ridiculously time consuming AND EXPENSIVE operations. Including those long, boring, outrageously wasteful “Supreme Court Decisions,” which could be handled far more efficiently by a Military Tribunal.

But the Military, coming for the most part, from the people, has to be convinced that it is doing “right.” The only way to get direct access is to create such a situation of dire economic, international, ecological, and medical necessity that the military HAS to come in and maintain order under the (giggle) “command” of “President” Bush (”Gofer George”).

So, the key to legitimately wrecking the economy, shutting down the government, and causing a dangerous international situation, is to place the most incompetent boob (of the well-born, of course), who has fucked up everything he’s ever attempted and in truth is far stupider than his “scholarship” underlings at Yale, in the Oval Office.

The logic is simple, straightforward and impeccably devious: put the sadistic, alcoholic, childish, fanatically uncompromising anti-intellectual goofball, Gofer George, in the Presidency, and the rest will follow…
