Rich Media, Poor Democracy

This is a great vid on the current status of the media and journalism in the early 21st century. Fact is without good journalism the people really can't properly democratically choose their representatives without being properly informed. But then on the other hand had the people known the fact that the Gulf of Tonkin was literally a false flag event and the government lied to the people about it and in fact perpetrated the first attack and the second never even happened would the country still have been split over the Vietnam war? I doubt it. Between bad journalism and government propaganda lying about everything we really don't have a democracy anymore. We sure as hell don't have a republic either. The so called representatives behave like little more than a legislative vending machine for the Oligarchs. Who ever donates the most money to your party wins. And with all the vids of Cops getting busted for genuine and unforgivable brutality lately, local law enforcement has been nothing short of disappointing.

WAKE UP PEOPLE: The New World Order is here

This pretty clearly explains the Democrats failure to get their agenda done. They're not actually in power.

Thomas Jefferson Quotes

"I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country."
- Thomas Jefferson

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a moneyed aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. The issuing power (of money) should be taken away from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs."
- Thomas Jefferson

"The system of banking we have both equally and ever reprobated. I contemplate it as a blot left in all our constitutions, which, if not covered, will end in their destruction. I sincerely believe, with you...that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale."
- Thomas Jefferson

"To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specially drawn around the powers of Congress is to take possession of a boundless field of power, no longer susceptible of any definition. The incorporation of a bank, and the powers assumed by this bill [chartering the first Bank of the United States] have not, in my opinion, been delegated to the United States by the Constitution. They are not among the powers specially enumerated."
- Thomas Jefferson

"I wish it were possible to obtain a single amendment to our Constitution - taking from the Federal government their power of borrowing (from privately-owned corporate banks)."
- Thomas Jefferson

"We are undone, my dear sir, if legislation is still permitted which makes our money, much or little, real or imaginary, as the moneyed interests shall choose to make it."
- Thomas Jefferson


Makes one wonder witch party he'd support? Neither
