Idiocracy: Land of the home, free of the brave.

So Amerika’s going to have another soldier in every nation that won't sell out to the government-approved corporatocracy?. What more can you expect of a nation of warmongers run by warmongers for warmongers? What can you expect of a people who teach their children it’s a great thing to play with guns and then act surprised and mortified when some halfwit comes out blasting in a crowded schoolroom every couple of weeks? How many people have fantasised about killing their teachers and classroom bullies while saluting a flapping rag?
Let’s tell children that playing and practicing with weapons designed only to murder and maim is just harmless fun, and see what happens! Ever wonder why these mass slaughters almost only ever happen in the good old USA – unless the CIA is destabilising some poor little country at the behest of the great global bully?
Many nations wonder how Amerika squandered the mantle of ‘leader of the free world’, throwing out habeus corpus, excusing (and attempting to legalise) torture, illegally invading sovereign nations that have no chance of fighting back, and throwing away the idea of universal equality and the very human rights that made it a nation worth looking up to. With so many people in jail or forced to pick up a gun and join the army unless they want to be incarcerated, perhaps the ‘stars and stripes’ should be renamed, using one of its old competitor’s titles – ‘the stars and bars’.
In any tweedle-dum, tweedle dummer two-party political system you can be sure of one thing – mega-rich WASP arseholes who hate everyone else will continue to rule, blaming the Jews and Arabs for the ills of the world and using their money or the gun - rammed firmly into the spleen of whoever makes it into the oval orifice – to ensure their will is supreme. The position of (p)resident is a joke – keep your eyes on the co-opted, bribed and blackmailed ‘leader’, folks, while the Wizards turn their wheels and operate the (ha ha) voting machines behind the patriotic curtain.
Keep watching the well-articulated empty space behind the contenders’ steely gazes and you’ll be watching the greatest blow-job on Earth, designed to distract you from what governments and corporations are actually doing to our beautiful planet and our common wealth and heritage. Keep watching ‘reality’ on TV and everything will be all Right, no matter who gets elected – and an eagle with one wing never flies far.
The only thing the disunited states has going for it is that the competition is actually worse. In Russia the intelligence agencies barely bother to cover up the fact that they blew up thousands of their citizens as an excuse to go to war and get their resident re-elected. They don’t bother with the farce of trying to make their elections look fair when everyone knows they’re rigged. Their leader is Vlad the Impaler, a well-known pedophile and mass murderer that everyone knows is personally culpable and capable of hideous crimes. It’s what you’d expect of a nation of slaves, after Stalin killed all the people with brains in a bloody, vicious icecapade that left only a bunch of downtrodden drunken sheep.
Whereas the US resident is usually just some bumbling front-man, a stooge for invested interests, his Russian counterpart is quite happy to get his hands – and other parts of his anatomy – filthy in the pursuit of untrammeled naked power.
Let’s not even discuss China in the same breath as these pseudo-democracies - it might be too dangerous for our health.
Meanwhile, in one-party Amerika – the party of the rich – the illusion of choice is engendered by power brokers who’ve already decided who the winner will be before the race is run. Only the women who back her can’t seem to see that Hilarious Clitoris is a loopy strident warhorse attached to strings being pulled by the same old puppetmasters. Only those who back Brack Hussein Osama can’t see that his well-intentioned smiles mask a hollow pained grimace (personally, I think he’s a nice, bright and surprisingly honest man who’d deserve to win – if he wasn’t already co-opted by forces beyond his control, like everyone else in a major party. And if you knew what the word ‘Baraka’ means you might gain some interesting perspectives on the deeper realities underpinning this sideshow). Neither of these contenders can admit that between them they’ve virtually guaranteed a victory for their opponents – who really are the worst of two evils.
It’s a pity, because between the two of them they actually have a heart and a brain – unlike the Son of Cain, who only has a broken heart and futile, dangerous vestiges of raw courage; perfect for a nation run by brutish warmongers whose faces you never see. Only a dual ticket can save the Democrats now.
Amerika seems to forget that its system of electing delegates is a recently-created construct designed to keep the rich in power; changing this convoluted system is a far more pressing need than changing the resident in the white peoples’ house. Doing away with the primaries and their quaint methodologies isn’t like changing the Constitution, folks – it’s just a matter of application and common sense. Abolishing the dangerously outdated Electoral College is even more important; how can you have free and fair elections when this fat rump - who believe they are born to rule - can overrule the expressed will of the people?
The only way the Amerikan people can win the current residential election is to lodge a protest vote – not by failing to vote (as many morons mistake for some kind of protest) – but by voting for Ralph Nader. Or anyone else who doesn’t have a chance. It’s the only way to make your vote count, when the outcome is a meaningless choice between warmongers and dupes anyway. Amerika has one choice if it wants to retain its unfair position as sole global Super-bully, given its geopolitical and economic standing at the dawn of the New Millennium – perpetual war.
It’s high time people stopped teaching their innocent children to salute flags, swear oaths and pray to primitive tribal deities (including those gods of money-worship, fat insanity claws and the toothless fairy) before they teach them to think. Not what to think – but to think! The U.S. has the lowest standard of living, greatest inequity, highest number of prisoners, highest infant mortality rate, lowest standard of human rights, worst healthcare outcomes and lowest collective I.Q. of any developed country. It’s not surprising its citizens don’t know these things, or consider them important; they’re taught to concentrate on football, baseball and interest rates and leave everything else to their betters – except at election time, when they’re trained to see voting in the same light as barracking for their local sports team instead of a way to improve their lives and the world.
Democracy is a system whereby representatives elected by their constituents gather together to arrive at the collective will of the people who send them to the Masonic Capitol – instead you get representatives of a party that rules and parties on at everyone else’s expense.  Parties seem like a good idea until you have to clean up the mess afterward – and Western ‘democracies’ are due for a long, painful hangover when their corrupt systems are finally replaced by something much better.
The rigged debacle of the last couple of U.S. elections paradoxically shows us a way forward. If legislation with real teeth can be enacted that actually works to oversee computerised polling (a huge challenge and one that’s not at all simple to resolve) – then we don’t need parties any more! We don’t even need politicians! We can all vote for actual issues instead of power-hungry faces and become actual citizens of a truly participatory global democracy of the 21^st Century.
