Blatant election corruption is now the rule rather than the exception across the western world, including in the United States. Elections now serve only one purpose in modern government: They perpetuate the illusion of an elected government that makes decisions. This means the “right kind” of people need to be elected, compliant politicians who will keep the corporate subsidies and bailouts flowing to the five-fingers of our fascist economy without raising too much alarm.
The problem is that the voters are not always compliant in that regard, so the Deep State has created a three-step way of managed-corruption in elections, both in America and abroad.
The levels of electoral corruption in our fascist empire are:
- Propaganda with vote-buying.
- Lawfare and vilifying propaganda.
- Color revolutions and assassination.
Apologists for the regime, often masquerading as defenders of the free market, attempt to propagandize the plebes with statistics that food like bread is cheaper in inflation-adjusted terms than before. But is the high-fructose corn syrup-infested food product that the supermarkets call “bread” really comparable to what our grandparents bought and ate back in the 1960s?
Or they enthusiastically tell us that the average house size is bigger than ever. But if ten people have 1,000 sq. foot houses, one builds on a 500 sq.ft. addition and an eleventh person enters the market and builds a new 11,000 sq.ft. McMansion, the average space more than doubles without the overwhelming majority of people seeing any change whatsoever. It’s not like the majority of those houses built in the 1940s and 50s had major additions put on them.
Military contractors place their factories strategically in as many congressional districts as possible. And that masterfully-planned policy is not to increase economic efficiency, but to increase political efficiency, to get their programs funded by Congress.
This propaganda doesn’t work when middle class workers are shouldering a higher tax burden than the middle class did during World War II, which they are, even though there’s no global war to fight.
