The American Oligarchy

We are fundamentally changing, it’s been coming for decades but it is more noticeable now because we have Internet, wireless devices, pocket size encyclopedias encapsulating libraries around the world, and instant access to real news around the globe.

We see how the mainstream media has become the spokesperson for the ruling elites, corruption rules and day, and education is melting in the flames of common core.

We are no longer a Constitutional Republic because we failed to keep it. We are a benign oligarchy composed of same party rule of the few oligarchs, no matter how we vote at the polls. The oligarchs do as they please.

The instant information available today is on one hand a blessing and on the other (for the elites) a curse. I don't think we're finished yet but it's gonna take a lot of work. As long as the IPOS are more concerned about the kardouchians or honey booboo or okra wimpfree, we'll continue the decline.

Short of an “Article V Revivial of the original intent of the Constuition” I fear we are headed to the decay and eventually civil war as the balkanized remains of the United States fight for the left over scraps of the Feral Federal Republic....

"...the mainstream media has become the spokesperson for the ruling elites..."

Anyone who does not see this is not paying attention.

The elites have a plan for us, and it ain't in our best interest. They could never implement their hateful, anti-human, anti-western, anti-god policies if the populace was informed.

All entertainment is a distraction, pro sports being the most obvious. Divorce yourself from the bread and circus mentality of the sheep and learn to think critically.

The elites want us to be ignorant and not able to access information, and every bit of legislation nowadays mirrors their agenda, the Net Neutrality being the most glaring.

I've come to think of it as you are being farmed — they think of us like a rancher might think of his cattle… actually, no, the rancher has an interest in providing for and strengthening the herd while the elite harbor no such goodwill towards us.

[T-Bone Texan]

...“you are being farmed”...

As long as we are quiet and pay our taxes we will be allowed to exist.

Among the truest words ever written.

have you forgotten the Obozocare act and what it is going to actually do to the American people via the death panels, unaffordable heath care for most and the eventual destruction of the US health care industry? Our tax dollars are being used by this government to deplete the US citizen population.

Back in the old days it was simple, if you didn't have money, you didn't go to the Doctor. Now if you don't go to the Doctor you still pay.

Very good article. Think the fight for the empire is already lost. We need to establish a few smaller Eastern Roman empires and try to last a thousand years more.
