On August 5th, Tulsi Gabbard, in an interview titled “Who Actually Runs The US Government”, attacked Biden, Harris, Obama, and the Clintons as being puppets for the “Military-Industrial Complex,” but said when asked of Trump (at 4:00 in the interview), “It’s not that anyone who’s put out front doesn’t make a difference. It is specific in this world that we are living in now, specific to President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. And the reason why they’ve done all they can to keep Trump off the ballot in 32 states, in all of the court cases and lawsuits and everything that the media have thrown at him, the reason why they’re doing that is because … he is not beholden to those same Establishment interests that so many of these Establishment politicians are. And so he’s not going in with, gosh, I’ve got to do what this person says, and I’ve got to do what that person says. ... You have a choice between those who believe that Government knows better for us than we do, that their power is more important than our freedom … versus Trump.” The interviewer accepted, didn’t contradict, what she said, which was a lie.
Tulsi hid the fact that the puppet-masters on the Repubican Party side are equally neocon (equally invested in the ‘Defense’ contractors such as Lockheed Martin) as are the ones on the Democratic Party side, and that on NEITHER side do the political puppets (who win elections) violate what their billionaire puppet-masters want them to do. All scientific studies of real-world U.S. politics have proven that this nation is an aristocracy, not a democracy, and that political Party makes almost no difference in determining the actual policies that the Government pursues — it’s a two-Party dictatorship by the billionaires. Just as a corporation is controlled on a one-dollar-one-vote basis (via the number of shares that one owns), America’s Government also is — NOT on a one-person-one-vote basis. It’s NO democracy. (In fact, if a good candidate comes along, then the billionaires — with their political donations, ‘news’-media, think tanks, etc. — can easily get that candidate eliminated either in the primary contest or else the general election.)
Similarly, RFK Jr. doesn't state this fact, but instead just wants to be a part of the power-structure, which he too is not.
In actuality, Trump when in the White House continued the neocon Obama’s policies on Ukraine, Syria, Libya, Venezuela, China, and virtually all other foreign-policy matters. (He also continued the neocon G.W. Bush’s war against Iraq.) He didn’t reject and reverse ANY of them, and in some instances (such as Iran, Venezuela, Israel, and China) made them even worse. Furthermore, his first achievement as the President was to make with the Sauds the all-time world’s biggest ever armaments sale of $350 billion in U.S.-made weapons to the Saud Government. Furthermore, he believes that torture is an effective interrogation tactic to get the truth out of a suspect — which is itself the opposite of the truth (and it shows how ignorant he is — scarily so, for a U.S. President). He really does believe that might makes right, and that the powerful are superior to their victims. It’s not merely a Democratic-Party meme that he is; he really is like that.
America seems still to be very far from a Second American Revolution — almost all voters are still suckers for one or the other Party’s front-people for their billionaires (who actually select them) — but the situation (the intense corruptness) of the U.S. Government is driving this nation toward and increasingly close to a cliff, which could be an enormous economic crash, or else a world-annihilating nuclear war in order to expand America’s empire yet further to control every country. What we have right now is simply a race against time, which seems increasingly likely to end in catastrophe because too many Americans are refusing for too long a time, to recognize that BOTH of these Parties are billionaire-controlled and toxic to the public’s welfare, and that if terminating the present U.S. governing system — terminating America’s Deep State (which is actually controlled by and for the billionaires) and outlawing political donations — won’t be done peacefully, then it will inevitably be done very violently. Because a one-dollar-one-vote system (an aristocracy) ANYWHERE will end in a revolution. (That won’t necessarily end the dictatorship, but in a few cases it has.) America’s billionaires and their agents worked hand-in-hand with ‘former’ top Nazis to create this Deep State; and, removing and replacing it with a democracy won’t be easy.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s latest book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
..."All scientific studies of real-world U.S. politics have proven that this nation is an aristocracy, not a democracy, and that political Party makes almost no difference in determining the actual policies that the Government pursues"...you just made my case for not voting.
The election is no more than a puppet operation that allows the voter to presume he is voting for what he wants. This has been gaining momentum since the late 1700's. Democracy, republic, aristocracy, whatever...they are all failures because the underlings in all cases are nothing more than slaves.
