One may be duped into believing that the President is
actually the master & chief. One may
also believe that all State elections are fair—not engineered to derive a certain outcome or result.
As to the first belief, Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s
Guide to the Galaxy
The President in particular is very much a figurehead — he wields no real power whatsoever. He is apparently chosen by the government, but the qualities he is required to display are not those of leadership but those of finely judged outrage. For this reason the President is always a controversial choice, always an infuriating but fascinating character. His job is not to wield power but to draw attention away from it.
Is this true of our own..., the present day and perhaps the
future for as long the electoral exist?
Politics wields POWER because it is not beholden to the
truth. Simply put, politicians lie to include The Media, its messenger. Add to this
system BIG BUSINESS and what you have is a protraction of POWER seemingly without
match, rival.
Politics does not gain POWER except by seizure: first with
fear as a condition for which The State is then fueled for growth, expansion
and extension; second, with funding by BIG BUSINESS for which, in exchange, the
elected and appointed do the bidding their bidding.
As Albert J. Nock describes, as social strength wains
political POWER rises.
What the State does not acquire through the means described
above, it does so by incessant borrowing—which is simply robbing from the
future—our future! It should not come as a surprise that our capital is now has
the highest average income in the country.
