Treehouse has an excellent analysis of why things never seem to change and improve, and
what We The People are up against in attempting to make our voices heard in
DC. It’s not a pretty picture, but at
least we can be part of the community that helps others to open their
eyes. Here’s a significant extract:
We send politicians to stop the
madness of government, but nothing changes. Why?
Washington DC is a Potemkin
village. We focus on the visible but the constructs that impact us do not
originate from the false façade. There’s something behind that façade,
and what we see is…. entirely… a façade. That’s why sending the
politicians doesn’t change the outcome. To get to the core of the issue,
we must first stop looking at the Potemkin village and instead look behind it.
Legislation, rules, regulations and
laws are not written by congress. The paperwork comes from the assembly
of legal and lobbyist foot soldiers on K-Street. That’s where the ink is
put to the paper and the legislative outcomes first originate. K-Street
is where the corporations, multinationals and financial organizations control
the process.
If the corporations behind the DC façade want to shift the money, they proactively write the rules, regulations
and laws that steer the actual policy outcomes to their financial target or
destination. Their wealth expands and they reward the participants, the
politicians.
Most of the entry level politicians
are oblivious to where the corporations have proactively moved; however, a few
of the politicians -- the leadership groups -- know exactly where the destination
of the legislative intent is going. The latter are tenured in the power structure
behind the façade.
Two private domestic corporations,
completely unaffiliated with the constructs of constitutional government, known
as the RNC and DNC, require membership in order to participate in the pretense
of American democracy. The same financial entities that fund the K-Street
operation, fund the private political clubs.
We The People, voters, are engaging
in their construct to send ‘representatives’ into a political construct that is
a façade. The financial entities on K-Street, those who position wealth
and generate the rules to maintain it, are the same financial entities that
fund the mechanisms of the two private corporations (RNC/DNC).
The United States system of
government is now operating to maintain this construct of common benefit. . . .
