By Justin Deschamps readers, hear complaints, and make people uncomfortable. Doubtless, because we feel like voting is one of the only ways we can actually do something to change the system—this is what the media and society tell us every election year. The world gets darker, more oppressive, and harder with each passing year. Maybe instead of doing the same thing again, and again, and again—expecting something different—we need to change how we approach the problem. But is this really true? I ask you to think long and hard about this. Over 100 years ago, Mark Twain knew the system was rigged in favor of financial powers, and it seems most of us still haven't figured this out. In my view, voting hasn't done anything but shuffle the deck that was stacked against us in the first place. Consider that in our world where the powers that be do everything they can to keep us subjected and disempowered; voting is promoted as a way to effect change. If this was true, then take a moment and look around you to see what this amazing vehicle for change has created. Surely if voting was such a powerful force for progressive transformation and betterment we should see more indications of that—but we don't. "We have the best government that money can buy." ~ MARK TWAIN But don't take my word for it—nor would I want you to. Please take a moment to think about these things, and review some of the related articles I have listed here that present evidence to suggest that voting in our modern-day world is a fraud. And even worse, it actually makes us culpable for what government does with our consent. Reprinted with Permission TheSovereignVoicae.Org
