For some reason, I am the only person who\u00a0publicly<\/em>\u00a0asserts that America’s roughly a thousand billionaires virtually own the U.S. Government, and that they donate so much money to the candidates who win the primary elections, in both political Parties, for the U.S. House and Senate, and for governorships, so that America’s billionaires actually winnow-out and eliminate each and every political candidate who wants to serve the public\u00a0more than<\/em>\u00a0to serve billionaires.\u00a0In other words: political conflicts in America are\u00a0conflicts between its billionaires \u2014\u00a0not<\/em>\u00a0conflicts actually within America’s public-at-large (such as would be the case in any\u00a0authentic<\/em>\u00a0democracy)<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0In other words: America is ruled for the benefit ONLY of those roughly a thousand individuals who own the controlling blocs of stock in America’s largest corporations, including in virtually all of America’s ‘news’-media, and in the corporations (like Lockheed Martin) that derive all of their profits from\u00a0selling to the U.S. Government and to<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0all of its\u00a0foreign vassal-regimes or ‘allies’<\/strong><\/a>. In other words: America’s great Founders, who had waged the Revolutionary War in order to replace the\u00a0existing<\/em>\u00a0aristocracy, which was British, and to replace it\u00a0with<\/em>\u00a0an authentic\u00a0majority-rule democracy<\/em>, have finally (as-of the present time), failed, because America now has actually a\u00a0reborn<\/em>\u00a0aristocracy, and this\u00a0reconstituted<\/em>\u00a0aristocracy consists of America’s\u00a0own<\/em>\u00a0billionaires. They’re just as much a dictatorship as Britain’s aristocracy were, but almost entirely homegrown instead of 100% foreign (such as that British aristocracy were). This\u00a0reconstituted<\/em>\u00a0aristocracy consists of the wealthiest Americans, instead of the wealthiest Englishmen. Therefore, America’s conflicts \u2014 both foreign and domestic \u2014 are either against foreign countries that America’s aristocracy aim to add to their existing empire, or else are against America’s public, or are against both. The foreign conflicts are dealt with by imposing economic sanctions, subversions, coups, and military invasions; but the\u00a0domestic<\/em>\u00a0conflicts are dealt with simply by the ancient aristocratic maxim of “divide and rule” \u2014 splitting up the enemy (in\u00a0this<\/em>\u00a0case the American people) into gays versus straights, Whites versus Blacks, “our” religion versus their religion or no religion at all, or any other manufactured (such as ethnic) “us versus them,” but not EVER the ACTUAL one, which is billionaires-versus-the-public. This is how they stay in power and constantly increase their power (their dictatorship).<\/p>\n

A typical example of evasion of this reality, on the part of America’s Democrats (the fools of billionaires who fund the\u00a0Democratic<\/em>\u00a0Party) is Matt Taibbi’s March 29th\u00a0“Meet The Censored: Chris Hedges”<\/strong><\/a>. It opened:<\/p>\n

This past weekend, celebrated journalist and author Chris Hedges woke up to\u00a0<\/em>find six years of episodes of his Russia Today show On Contact vanished<\/em><\/a>\u00a0from the show’s account on YouTube. Though almost none of the shows referenced Russia or Vladimir Putin directly, and the few that did tended to be unflattering, his association with Russian state media was enough to erase hundreds of interviews about topics ranging from Julian Assange’s imprisonment to censorship to police brutality to American war crimes in the Middle East.<\/em><\/p>\n

Now\u00a0<\/em>on Substack<\/em><\/a>, Hedges has a long and uncomfortably colorful history of being muffled. The former New York Times correspondent covered wars from the Balkans to the Middle East to the Falkland Islands, and authored books like\u00a0<\/em>War is a Force That Gives Us Meaning<\/em><\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>American Fascists<\/em><\/a>, and\u00a0<\/em>The Death of the Liberal Class<\/em><\/a>, and through 2002, when he\u00a0<\/em>won the Pulitzer Prize<\/em><\/a>\u00a0as part of a team for Exploratory Reporting, he defined mainstream respectability and excellence in journalism. He might have had it easy, spending the latter part of his career on the Thomas Friedman\/David Brooks Memorial Gravy Train of overpaid lectures, University trusteeships, and fellowships at obscure think-tanks, if he’d just kept his mouth shut.<\/em><\/p>\n

He didn’t.<\/em><\/p>\n

Then, there was the interview portion, which included, for example:<\/p>\n

MT:<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0This two-step process feels like a backdoor way of getting rid of unorthodox voices. In other words, weren’t you on RT in the first place because you’d been bounced out for opposing the war in Iraq? Now, because of your association with RT, you’re off YouTube. Is this a way to get at, not just people connected with Russians, but people with unpopular views generally?<\/em><\/p>\n

Chris Hedges:<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0Yeah.\u00a0<\/em>That’s how it works. They push you to the margins and then, they demonize those spaces on the margins. This has long been the habit of the dominant ruling elites. So for instance, Robert Scheer, whose website I write for,<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>Scheerpost<\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/em>\u2014 and of course, we were all fired from Truthdig, this is just a never ending saga \u2014 but he ran Ramparts. I think it was Spiro Agnew said, “<\/em>It’s a magazine with a bomb in every issue<\/em><\/a>.” We could never get advertisers.<\/em><\/p>\n

In other words: they use obscurantist phrases such as “the elites,” or the opponents of “people with unpopular views generally,” instead of saying “America’s billionaires,” or even “America’s super-rich.” That’s like, in Nazi Germany, referring to “the Nazi Party,” instead of to Adolf Hitler or to\u00a0the billionaires who had backed him<\/strong><\/a>. It’s referring to the\u00a0agents<\/em>,\u00a0not<\/strong>\u00a0to the\u00a0principals<\/em>. It’s referring to the employees,\u00a0not<\/em>\u00a0to the employers (who selected and hired and fired those). None of Germany’s billionaires became hanged at Nuremberg. In fact, all of them\u00a0became financial backers of the regime that America’s ruling billionaires installed in West Germany and who now control all of Germany as being an American vassal-nation<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(a ‘U.S. ally’). But, in fact:\u00a0Among the publics in NATO nations,\u00a0only<\/em>\u00a0Germans opposed Ukraine joining NATO (57% to 36%) (in contrast to all\u00a0other<\/em>\u00a0NATO publics, which were even\u00a0more<\/em>\u00a0than 57% in\u00a0favor of<\/em>\u00a0Ukraine being allowed to join NATO).<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0The German Government does ONLY what the U.S. Government ALLOWS it to do. That is the very definition of a “vassal nation,” or “colony.” Whereas Germany’s public were 57% opposed to America’s Ukraine policy, Germany’s Government were\u00a0so supportive<\/em>\u00a0of America’s Ukraine policy as to have terminated its own and Russia’s Nord Stream 2 pipeline in order to comply with America’s demand, and therefore brought upon their own people the soaring gas-prices that could destroy Germany’s economy. How could a country be\u00a0more<\/em>\u00a0of a vassal nation than\u00a0that?<\/em><\/p>\n

Of course, on America’s Republican Party side, the accounts are no less diversionary than on the Democratic Party side, but they are, instead, if anything, even\u00a0more<\/em>\u00a0false, because of the Republican Party’s open and overt\u00a0worship<\/em>\u00a0of the super-wealthy, as-if those people are God’s appointees to rule. It’s actually just one faction of America’s billionaires against the other faction of them. This limitlessly-grasping, insatiable, dictatorship (or regime) is what America’s billionaires want to rule the entire world. Or, as their puppet Barack Obama had phrased the matter, on\u00a028 May 2014<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(shortly after\u00a0his coup that regime-changed Ukraine<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in\u00a0February 2014<\/strong><\/a>) to America’s\u00a0future<\/em>\u00a0military elite: “The United States is and remains the\u00a0one<\/em>\u00a0indispensable nation.\u00a0That has been true for the century passed and it will be true for the century to come. … Russia’s aggression toward former Soviet states unnerves capitals in Europe, while China’s economic rise and military reach worries its neighbors. From Brazil to India, rising middle classes compete with us, and governments seek a greater say in global forums.\u00a0… It will be your generation’s task to respond to this new world.” And, of course, the way that his audience-members there can\u00a0professionally<\/em>\u00a0“respond” is purely by specifically\u00a0military<\/em>\u00a0means. That’s what their employer, the U.S. regime, is\u00a0paying<\/em>\u00a0them to do. The regime has told them that this is an\u00a0economic<\/em>\u00a0function, to keep America’s aristocracy on top, so that “The United States is and remains the\u00a0one<\/em>\u00a0indispensable nation.” All other nations are “dispensable.” That future\u00a0military<\/em>\u00a0elite are to serve this\u00a0economic<\/em>\u00a0function, by military means.<\/p>\n

Why are all of the ‘news’-media hiding this fact from the public? Why am I\u00a0still<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0the ONLY reporter who uses such a phrase as “the U.S. regime”? Until that changes, this regime’s endangerment of the entire world with a globe-annihilating World War III can only continue to increase,\u00a0unimpeded<\/em>. That’s because it relies, 100%, upon the lie, the myth, that America is a democracy. Without\u00a0that myth<\/strong><\/a>, this Emperor would have no clothes.\u00a0America is ruled\u00a0one-dollar-one-vote, not\u00a0really<\/em>\u00a0one-person-one-vote<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0Economic inequality within a nation tends\u00a0naturally<\/em>\u00a0to destroy any democracy that might exists in the given country and turn it into an aristocracy instead. Such extreme economic inequality as America has, turned it into a dictatorship by and for the super-rich. For the sake of the future of the entire world, this Emperor’s clothes must now increasingly be ripped right off \u2014 exposed to the entire world so that it will be seen as being what it actually\u00a0is<\/em>.<\/p>\n
