Does Any Member of the US Government Represent Americans?
US Representative Matt Gaetz has courage and principles, for the most part good ones.
It was Gaetz who had the courage and leadership ability to get rid of Rino McCarthy as Speaker of the House.
It is Gaetz who understands that hardly any member of Congress in either party represents Americans. Instead, they represent the military/security complex’s power and profits, the profits of the pharmaceutical companies, the profits of agri-business (ethanol for example), the profits of Wall Street, the profits of energy, timber, and mining, and so forth. And especially, the US Congress represents the artificial state of Israel and all of Israel’s agendas.
Indeed, Matt Gaetz himself cannot escape having to support an occupier of Palestinians’ land, claiming that it is Israel’s. The fact that even a brave man like Matt Gaetz has to support an aggressor against a people abandoned by the “moral” West shows how captured the US government is at all levels by vested monied interests.
Gaetz along with the entirely of the US Congress and the President are purchased by the billions of dollars that American taxpayers are forced to hand over to Israel each year. American taxpayers are forced to give Israel annually billions of dollars that are used to purchase our government. Israel, considered a rich country, does not need foreign aid, but any member of Congress who does not vote for Israel’s billions finds in his next election a challenger financed by Israel’s billions and himself a victim of Israel’s slander machine. The same thing happens if you vote against an excessive military/security budget or against the agendas of powerful organized interests. A government whose election is financed by interest groups has to represent those interest groups.
So, obviously, the solution is not term limits on members of Congress. The solution is to take the money that Congress gives Israel to buy our government out of politics along with the ability of corporations to purchase the US government, thanks to an unconstitutional ruling of the US Supreme Court that it is a “free speech right” for corporations and foreign interests to purchase the US government for their own use.
There you have it. The US government is a purchased entity. It has nothing whatsoever to do with American interests or protecting the interests of the American people.
What needs to be done?
Matt Gaetz, the conservatives and libertarians naively think that term limits is the answer. This is another of Americans’ insouciant mistakes. The real solution is to extend, not limit, the terms of members of Congress and to give Congress the police powers on which Congress’ enemy–the executive branch–has a monopoly. The corrupt Justice Department can frame up and arrest members of Congress, and Congress has no corresponding powers.
The founding fathers distrusted democracy because of their fear of ignorant mobs. For this reason they limited the terms of US Representatives to two years. So US Representatives and Senators are turned into whores prostituting themselves for reelection money as soon as they are elected. It is never possible for Congress or the President to represent American’s interests.
This is because of money. The solution is to take out of politics the ability of corporations, Israel, and foreign interests to purchase the services of the US Government, which as a result of interest group funding of election campaigns turns the US government into a whore. The Founding Fathers should have lengthened the terms of Congress and the President, prohibited all outside money from financing election campaigns, and financed at taxpayer expense free speech forums for candidates to debate their differences. They also made a mistake by creating a legislative body too large for a common interest to emerge. This failure of the Founding Fathers doomed America to the control of vested interests. The Democrats when they limited the terms of committee chairmen eliminated legislative power centers that could stand up to the executive branch and thereby weakened Congress as an institution.
When President Donald Trump said that he intends to take the control of the American government out of the hands of those who have purchased it and return the power over government to the American people, the monied interest groups, together with Israel despite what Trump has done for Israel’s interests, have spent the last 8 years trying to destroy Trump, who now faces four totally false indictments by Democrats, not by the American people, and a Democrat effort to steal his real estate empire.
This is the America today. Without any doubt the most corrupt country on earth. Not only does the government not represent its citizens, preferring instead immigrant-invaders, Israel, the military-security complex, LGBT sexual perverts, Big Pharma and the economic parasites that live off the taxpayers, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, allegedly a criminal investigatory force, has branded Trump supporters as “domestic terrorists” and has opened a new department to monitor them. The FBI’s message is clear, if you vote for Trump, you will be on our radar as a “domestic terrorist.”
And Putin thinks he can make peace with a government that answers to the military/security complex and other interests that benefit from having Russia positioned as an enemy.
And voters think they can change things in a system driven by interest group money.
