America’s Oligarchy

By the way, it is still a mens club.

This process happens over and over again. When the Soviet Union dissolved, it was only months until these same "noble" Communist Party and KGB members were able to starve factory workers until they signed their shares, of said factory, over to the current Russian Oligarchy.

In Venezuela, they are 70 years behind. There the State is consolidating power and annexing European and American Corporation holdings. In this case, The Communists are near consolidating control and Venezuela may slip into the Dark Ages for many generations to come. Becoming nothing more than a garrisoned country, ruled by priestly members of the Socialist Party.

The USA has a system that is on the edge of Fascism. When you consider the control that Corporations have through campaign donations, Lobbyists and the Media, one can see that American needs some major fine tuning before any thinking person would consider it a true democracy.

If Americans are able to reign in the current Corporate Dominance in politics by limiting Corporate donations to $1000.00 and criminalizing the Corporate Lobby, the people could then truly be proud of their democracy and enjoy the protection of their Constitution.

As the world is and you look at all the alternative political structures, Chinese Democracy, Islamic Fundamentalism or the Russian Mafia, the American System could be still considered the one of the least undemocratic power-nations on earth.

Put it this way, if my country was going to be liberated, I would rather it be by the USA than ransacked by a band of Bolshevistic zombies, who's Generals send into battle to complete one mission only, and that is to die.

"Fascism (pronounced /ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a radical and authoritarian nationalist political ideology.[1][2][3][4] Fascists seek to organize a nation according to corporatist perspectives, values, and systems, including the political system and the economy."
That describes the USA. Anyone want to debate that?

You left out the Kennedy's, the Gore's, and the Clinton's.

Every so-called democratic country is run by oligarchs.Our oligarch controlled media keeps us reminding that we are a democratic country,the only system of government which empowers every male and female citizen who has attained the voting age.

End of cold war in the aftermath of collapse of Soviet Union,rise of crony capitalism with the help of two notorious financial institutions,IMF and WB,in many so-called democratic countries various political parties merged into one with different names,symbols and election manifestos.In U.S.the Democrats represented labour and lower middle class,ethnic minorities and source of funding for compaign was contribution from trade unions and workers.Gradually,trade unions were systemitically weakened and new sources of funding had to be located.Oligarchs were there to provide money,subject to adavancement of their agenda-tax cuts for the richest,curtailment of workers' right,less spending on social sector like health and education,allocation of more funds for defence and national security.The last two,defence meant defence of their interests,that was capturing more and more markets for raw material and cheap labour;national security meant security of their oveseas investments.

How Democrats could afford to be different from the Republicans.If Regan played in the hands of the American oligarchs,well represented by Wall Street,Clinton,too,did the same,and Obama is doing the same.He promised changes,and proved what some one had said that"Things have to change in order to remain same".

Oiligarchs are same,Presidents are same.But people are not same.They are jobless,homeless,have lost all hopes,feel more insecured than ever before.But their faith in the power of their vote blinds them to harsh realities.A vote for Democrat is a vote for oligarchcy;a vote for Republican is a vote for oligarchy.Wall street is all poweful institution of the American oligarchy.

And...?

Join the NRA?

You didn't mention the Bilderberg group or the tri-lateralists or the council on foreign relations.

watch The Obama Deception and it'll explain it all

@ Master-Jim 2008 ,you are right.Oligarchs and oligarchy are incomplete without mentioning Bilderberg group,Council on Foreign Relations,WB,IMF and UNO, one and same with different faces and names.The hidden agenda of one world government was begotten by Illuminati and carried forward to Freemasonry after crackdown on Illuminati in Austria and now being persued vigorously by these associations and institutions.

But implementation of that sisnister agenda of one government is practically impossible,as one religion,one language and one culture are not possible.Concenteration of wealth in fewer and fewer hands is serving the purpose of oligarchs,they have control over our minds,natural resources and whosoever is elected is of as little consequences as are puppets and pawns.
