Sorcha Faal A somber Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) report circulating in the Kremlin today is advising all diplomatic personal that due to the success of the “war party” elections held in the United States this past week, this once constitutional republic should now be viewed as having become an Oligarchy—a form of power structure in which power effectively rests with a small number of people. According to this report, the United States was founded as a constitutional republic to prevent what one of its Founders, Thomas Jefferson, described as “elective despotism” in order to prevent a political system of unbridled democracy in which the majority enjoys absolute power by means of democratic elections which could vote to impose tyranny on themselves and the minority opposition. As ordered by their founding documents, this report continues, the United States created their constitutional republic so that the powers of government could be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy that no one could transcend their legal limits without being effectually checked and restrained by the others. What this past week’s US election shows, however, the MoFA in this report says, are that all of the Republican and Democratic Party candidates for office (Federal and State) were funded by just forty-two people who were responsible for nearly a third of Super PAC monies raised, and only 666,773 wealthy individuals out of a nation having a population of over 319 million. Super PAC’s, this report notes, are a new kind of American political action committee created in July 2010 following the outcome of a US Federal Court case known as SpeechNow.org v. Federal Election Commission which allows the American elite classes to raise unlimited sums of money from corporations, unions, associations and individuals, then spend unlimited sums to overtly advocate for or against political candidates—which in this past weeks election totaled over $3.7 billion, the most expensive in their nations history. With the US having over 492 billionaires (85 of whom have more money combined than the lowest 3.5 billion of the poorest peoples on Earth), this report further states, the “normal constraint” the people of America would have to put upon their government has been effectively destroyed and now resides in the hands of their Oligarchy alone. Where the absence of this “normal constraint” most endangers the Federation, this report warns, is the new American Oligarchy’s propensity for global war, and which within three days of this election, President Obama began the expansion of a new Middle Eastern war by the ordering of thousands of more US forces to Iraq—but which in September, prior to this past weeks election, he had promised his nation would not happen. Even worse, this report notes, are that the Obama regimes plans for a massive war with the Federation will now be accelerated, a sentiment echoed this week by the great American philosopher Noam Chomsky who warned that the US and Russia are “ominously close to nuclear war.” Chomsky’s fears of a US-Russian nuclear war, we have previously reported on, are indeed valid, this report continues, due to President Putin’s moves to strike down the American petrodollar which the Obama regime has retaliated against by provoking a war in Ukraine, leveling sanctions (along with its EU allies) against Russia, and with its Middle Eastern allies collapsing the price of oil in its strategy of trying to bankrupt Russia. Russia, however, in anticipating these actions by the Obama regime, this report notes, has amassed one of the largest gold reserves in the world to counter these economic warfare moves against the Federation no matter how low the price of oil goes, a strategic point not lost to the former US Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan who in speaking to the Council of Foreign Relations (CFR) last week stunningly admitted, “Gold is currency, no fiat currency, including the US Dollar, can match it.” With Russia “fully prepared” to accomplish its end-game of destroying the US petrodollar system with its gold reserves and combined energy-mineral wealth (which is the greatest in the world valued at over $75 trillion), MoFA analysts in this report conclude, the new Oligarchy ruling America, in a “last stand effort” to protect its “paper only” fiat currency wealth may, indeed, see global war as its only alternative to protect itself. Poster Comment: all of the Republican and Democratic Party candidates for office (Federal and State) were funded by just forty-two people who were responsible for nearly a third of Super PAC monies raised And organized by agents of the Israeli lobby thus thus assuring Israel of continued US financial support and US wars against enemies of that illegal Zionist state.

Sorsha ? The Onion has more credibility
Instead of broad-brush dismissal please challenge specific facts and conclusions presented, showing where Sorcha is wrong. It's just an update of earlier contentions that Americans are little more than pretentious peons thinking that all they have to do is cast their vote to determine the nation's destiny when in fact it's been predetermined before the election by Zionist connivers who bankroll and indenture (to serve Israel) members of Congress. US Is an Oligarchy Not a Democracy, says Scientific Study by Eric Zuesse In America, money talks... and democracy dies under its crushing weight. (Photo: Shutterstock) A study, to appear in the Fall 2014 issue of the academic journal Perspectives on Politics, finds that the U.S. is no democracy, but instead an oligarchy, meaning profoundly corrupt, so that the answer to the study’s opening question, "Who governs? Who really rules?" in this country, is: "Despite the seemingly strong empirical support in previous studies for theories of majoritarian democracy, our analyses suggest that majorities of the American public actually have little influence over the policies our government adopts. Americans do enjoy many features central to democratic governance, such as regular elections, freedom of speech and association, and a widespread (if still contested) franchise. But, ..." and then they go on to say, it's not true, and that, "America's claims to being a democratic society are seriously threatened" by the findings in this, the first-ever comprehensive scientific study of the subject, which shows that there is instead "the nearly total failure of 'median voter' and other Majoritarian Electoral Democracy theories [of America]. When the preferences of economic elites and the stands of organized interest groups are controlled for, the preferences of the average American appear to have only a minuscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy." To put it short: The United States is no democracy, but actually an oligarchy. The authors of this historically important study are Martin Gilens and Benjamin I. Page, and their article is titled "Testing Theories of American Politics." The authors clarify that the data available are probably under-representing the actual extent of control of the U.S. by the super-rich: Economic Elite Domination theories do rather well in our analysis, even though our findings probably understate the political influence of elites. Our measure of the preferences of wealthy or elite Americans – though useful, and the best we could generate for a large set of policy cases – is probably less consistent with the relevant preferences than are our measures of the views of ordinary citizens or the alignments of engaged interest groups. Yet we found substantial estimated effects even when using this imperfect measure. The real-world impact of elites upon public policy may be still greater. Nonetheless, this is the first-ever scientific study of the question of whether the U.S. is a democracy. "Until recently it has not been possible to test these contrasting theoretical predictions [that U.S. policymaking operates as a democracy, versus as an oligarchy, versus as some mixture of the two] against each other within a single statistical model. This paper reports on an effort to do so, using a unique data set that includes measures of the key variables for 1,779 policy issues." That’s an enormous number of policy-issues studied. What the authors are able to find, despite the deficiencies of the data, is important: the first-ever scientific analysis of whether the U.S. is a democracy, or is instead an oligarchy, or some combination of the two. The clear finding is that the U.S. is an oligarchy, no democratic country, at all. American democracy is a sham, no matter how much it's pumped by the oligarchs who run the country (and who control the nation's "news" media). The U.S., in other words, is basically similar to Russia or most other dubious "electoral" "democratic" countries. We weren't formerly, but we clearly are now. Today, after this exhaustive analysis of the data, “the preferences of the average American appear to have only a minuscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy.” That's it, in a nutshell.

The United States is a Republic and not supposed to be a Democracy except to the extent that it doesn't violate the Constitution. To be meaningful, a Democracy needs at least 3 people. Not so for an oligarchy. The problem here isn't oligarchy per se but that the invalid oligarchy that's been running amok hasn't been cast aside by the masses for a real one of Constitutionalists. Stop assigning them "omnipotent powers" that don't legitimize them anyway. Those who do so only make themselves part of the problem. Take some responsibility to denounce them as the frauds they are.
Stop assigning them "omnipotent powers" that don't legitimize them anyway. Those who do so only make themselves part of the problem. Take some responsibility to denounce them as the frauds they are. The U.S. was (allegedly) a democratic constitutional Republic that allowed their elected politicians and international bankers to reform it into a socialist democracy. I know you think there are no consequences attached to government benefits or contracts ... but you are wrong. You're always quick to reprove others that argue against your permanent delusion related to the constitutional form of government that only exists in your mind. You argue in favor of a condition for which not one iota of proof or evidence can be demonstrated to support it. As an easy and simple example you might recall was Bob Dole (Leader of Senate) explaining that even though the calls against NAFTA coming into his office were 2000 to 1 he was voting for it anyway. Refusing to prosecute the immigration laws that ARE ON THE BOOKS has been DENOUNCED and DENOUNCED and DENOUNCED - yet the administration has prepared 60 million green cards for the illegals about to be granted amnesty. Your commentary is absolutely without any solid evidence that might demonstrate that the current government has any inclination to adhere to that GD peice of paper that you cling to like Linus's dirty blanket. The government (not just Obama) has gone rogue and no amount of denunciation has had any effect whatsoever. We all know what we've been told for hundreds of years about the form of government we're supposed to have. The problem is that none of us living today have EVER enjoyed it.
I like that tagline -- maybe more than you do.
