Similar Grim Futures Loom for U.S., Germany, UK, Israel, and South Africa.
The U.S., Germany, UK, Israel, and South Africa, are now beyond the point at which the spiraling downward into chaos can’t be stopped, and will therefore, in the most optimistic scenario, end in a successful democratic revolution (if that is even possible there). (The depressing alternative would be as failed states.) In all five societies, political and financial leadership have become so corrupt and so psychopathic that whatever constitutional democracy had formerly existed there, is now essentially gone and replaced by a “Deep State,” or network of a thousand-or-so extremely wealthy and interconnected individuals, who control not ONLY the Government but ALSO the nation’s economy, leaving the entire rest of the population as their mental slaves whom the billionaires mentally control through the media (where Republicans blame Democrats and Democrats blame Republicans), and through the nation’s ‘non-partisan’ ‘educational’ (actually indoctrinational) institutions.
On 31 October 2018, three political scientists documented that the wealthiest 1% of the wealthiest 1% of Americans — the wealthiest ten-thousandth of Americans — donate 57.16% of all the money that funds U.S. political campaigns. The “Top 400 Donors” (all of whom are multi-billionaires, not merely billionaires) donate 29.86%, or virtually 30%, of all political money, in the U.S. But, actually: only billionaires (and an occasional mere centi-millionaire) who are among the ten largest donors to U.S. politics in a Presidential-election year, have any real impact in determining whom America’s next President will be. Only those ten ultra-rich Americans do. And, from one Presidential ‘election’ to the next, many of those ten people will be the same both times. All of the other 332 million Americans are their subjects, not any country’s “citizens” (except, perhaps, on passports, etc.). But America isn’t a kingdom; it’s an aristocracy. (Of course, some kingdoms are representing their aristocracy and/or their theocracy, but, in any case, America is an aristocracy.)
Two prior studies, one in 2016, and the first one in 2014, had already demonstrated that, as I headlined about both of them in 2018, “America Is One-Dollar-One-Vote, Not Really One-Person-One Vote.” The breakthrough first study, in 2014, was brilliantly summarized and explained in a 6-minute video here. So: anyone who says that America’s Government is better than other Governments because it is a democracy is either a fool or else a liar. This myth has, by now, become buried so deep that only a second American revolution might be able to resurrect it to some sort of reality again.
