The Illusion of America Has it Ever Really Existed
BY Ryan Cristian,
In the past, this country has always prided itself on the personal freedom and Constitutional
rights of the individual, and oddly enough, it still does today despite the fact that
the US currently ranks 41st according to the 2016 world press freedom index, and 11th on
the Heritage Institute�s 2016 index of economic freedom, behind countries such as Singapore,
Hong Kong and Chile.
However, the facts have yet to stop the government, or rather the faction that co-opted the government,
from carrying out its will and broadcasting whichever story reinforces that will. From
lying about attacks and epidemics, to fabricating them all together, what this country once
could have been is simply no longer present, where sadly, it truly counts: within the government,
save for a brave few. But the people remain, and that American Dream still resides within
their hearts and longs to be realized. Regardless of whether that dream was ever truly seen
to fruition or if it was sabotaged by some of the very men who took part in its creation,
it has taken root in the very foundation that holds this broken country together, it has
become eternal; it prevails within the deep-seeded beliefs of that which makes this country truly
powerful: its people.
Those who have participated in this fabrication are terrified that the people will once and
for all see through the lie, and find the sinister reality behind. And that is indeed
what we are witnessing in real-time, as Americans finally begin to wake up to this gross manipulation.
This awakening has been a long time coming, and was brought on by many different occurrences.
Yet, the one event that was always meant to reinforce the citizen�s blind faith and
dedication to the system, the election process, has much to the establishment�s dismay,
become the largest awakening event in American history. People are being hyper-exposed to
the true nature of the government and those who have complete control over its actions,
thanks almost entirely to WikiLeaks and those who anonymously leaked the information.
From blaming the Russians with zero evidence, and pitting Americans against each other with
race, religion and political standing, to the classic �lesser of two evils� ploy,
the entire past election has weirdly enough turned into one of the most important things
that could have happened to the individual, as it shook us all out of our complacency
to see the true level of corruption operating right beneath our noses, while being told
we are living the dream.
Does the Government Represent the People?
In today�s �feelings-over-facts� climate, when a study does not embody what one chooses
to embrace as �the truth,� it is simply disregarded as �fake news� or some other
catch-all measure of dismissal that allows the individual to ignore contradictory information,
and do so with a sense of confidence, be it a false one. Which is the case with the following
study, that wildly enough has not gotten much attention since its release, as something
like this would only be ignored by a willfully uninformed populace. This study actually quantifies
the irrelevancy of the American public in regard to their influence on the government
and its policy.
Researchers at Princeton University looked at more than 20 years worth of data to answer
a pretty simple question:
Does the government represent the people?
Quoting the Princeton study directly:
�The preferences of the average American appear to have only a minuscule, near-zero,
statistically non-significant impact upon public policy.�
Many are beginning to come to grips with the reality that their opinion doesn�t matter
in this country, and that the government truly doesn�t care what they think, and sadly�
they are correct. But there�s a catch. Economic elites, business interests�those who have
enough money to hire lobbyists�have an entirely different line on the graph above than the
average America(the bottom 90%), and surprise surprise, it�s much closer to the ideal
representation, which means these elite individuals do in fact directly influence policy in this
country. So in other words, this study clearly demonstrates that money, and those who have
it, dictate this country�s true direction, not the people and their faux democracy.
Ultimately, this shows that the elites have the ability to get what they what, regardless
of the American majority-will, and the people pay for it, literally and figuratively. With
one in every five American children born into poverty, the American people suffer the most
expensive healthcare in the world, a floundering education system, and a catastrophically detrimental
failure of a drug war, all spurred on with egregiously wasteful spending seemingly without
end. Almost every major issue Americans face as a nation can be tied back to the realization
brought on by the above graph: The average person has essentially zero influence on the
passage of the very laws that affect their daily lives and the direction of their own
country, which they then pay for with their hard-earned money, lest they be forced into
a cage at gunpoint. Sounds like freedom to me.
Knowing that what the people really think, and who and what they vote for, quantifiably
and mathematically has zero effect on the outcome(which is actually a verifiable fact
thanks to this study), why do they continue to participate? This would be the point where
people get angry, or call names, �conspiracy theorist,� or �un-American,� all for
striking at their foundation which is unfortunately built on lies, and that shakes people; shakes
them to the point where they will refuse to acknowledge the reality that contradicted
their beliefs, regardless of the presented proof.
The reason that people so fervently protect their foundation of lies is that they have
been conditioned to do so with the many different control measures put in place to ensure the
outcome desired by those pulling the strings. The �lesser of two evils� manipulation
is a ploy that has corralled and directed the voters in this country for decades, and
is just one of many put in place in order to manipulate and control the American people,
all while allowing them to falsely think and feel that they have an integral part in the
operation and success of this country.
The Control That Doesn�t Feel Like Control
Every American is enlisted at a young age, and told their vote matters; that even one
vote can make a difference. Yet, that entire mantra came crashing down during the past
presidential election cycle when all were told that their vote would only truly matter,
if and when they vote for one of two pre-approved, state-sponsored candidates; and were told
this would be democracy at its finest. And intentionally manipulated polls are thrown
out to convince the people that a third-party vote would indeed, not count.
Consider for a moment the claim of falsified poll data, of which there is ample proof.
Knowing that the polls being broadcasted by mainstream channels are falsified in order
to give the voter the impression that �the majority� is voting for a specific candidate,
consider for a moment the possibility that the actual majority could in fact be voting
for someone else, and most likely are, or there would be no need to falsify the polls.
This is a measure taken within every election, presidential or otherwise. It is used to maintain
the illusion of the majority-will being fulfilled, while in reality, it is being circumvented.
Americans then dutifully go off to cast their vote reluctantly for the �lesser-of-two-evils,�
still convinced by the onslaught of propaganda telling them that the age-old adage, �Every
Vote Counts� only applies when they stay within party lines. Then consider that their
one vote, as misguided and manipulated as it may be, could in fact be the winning vote
that steals away the presidency from a potentially more deserving, better suited and morally
sound third-party option(if that even exists), and all they had to do was vote for who they
truly believed in.
The point being, that one should always look inside themselves and make the choice that
truly represents what they want for this country, and not just one who is �not as bad as the
other,� be it in the upcoming congressional race, or the next presidential race in 2020,
as each is just as important. It is also very important to point out that for one to look
inward and only vote for a candidate in which they deeply believe, may in fact mean voting
for no one. If there is not a viable option; if there is not a candidate that the people
feel represents their will, then the most appropriate and classically American choice
left on the table is to abstain from the vote. This is a practice that dates back to the
Founding Fathers and it is quintessentially American, despite what those in power would
have Americans believe.
Eyes to the Future
However eye-opening this past election has been, the awakening of the individual does
not necessarily do much to stop this warmongering empire. Yet, we are now aware, and that has
power, and the world will respond if we continue to take a stand and speak out about all that
we feel no longer represents the people of this country.
So we press on and spread the word, and hold out hope that those brave few within will
join us in reviving this dream still thriving within us all, and set things in motion that
will revitalize this country; or some would say, create this dream we have in our hearts
for the first time, and show those who would see us controlled that the false reality they
thought would pacify the people has taken root, and the dream of the America we once
knew, can now no longer be stifled; we will see it realized.
