Tulsi Gabbard - Who Actually Runs The US Government?
Chris Williamson ^ | 5/8/24 | Tulsi Gabbard

Posted on 08/22/2024 12:53:34 AM PDT by Eleutheria5

Tulsi Gabbard is a politician, military veteran, and former U.S. Representative.

Our elected officials are supposed to be in charge of the country we live in. But the more we learn about the inner workings of government, the less that seems to be true. So, who is really running the show, and what will the future of America look like for those who truly hold the power?

Expect to learn what Joe Biden is actually like behind the scenes, why RFK Jr’s campaign didn't succeed, the reason that Elon Musk’s X platform was so important during Trump's assassination attempt, the truth behind Project 2025, Tulsi’s thoughts on Kamala Harris as a presidential candidate and much more…

Linked transcript high-lights.

"...Tulsi and Naomi Wolf are very welcome and very dangerous to their former Dem friends."

They've been "red-pilled" by having an honest quest for truth.

Like Matt Taibi, Bari Weiss, and Glen Greenwald.

Let's give them some grace and not focus on how imperfect they are, (who isn't?)

Worth reading twice.

Hopefully those who do not yet know will read it, understand it, and remember it.

Fregards!

“Eisenhower called the people behind the scenes the military industrial complex. Even earlier than Eisenhower’s famous speech, Joseph Kennedy, father of John Kennedy, said that at most 50 men run America. In 1956, sociologist C. Wright Mills wrote a book, The Power Elite. A decade later, G. William Domhoff followed Wright’s study with his book, Who Rules America. None of these men were “conspiracy theorists” in the sense that Gary Allen of None Dare Call It Conspiracy fame or Alex Jones were/are. Eisenhower and the others recognized that men with political and financial clout collude to run things behind the scenes, leaving a facade of a constitutional government and political democracy to fool the masses.

Since 1933, and especially after 1970, the character of that elite has shifted away from the Northeastern WASP descendants of the Puritans and Quakers and has adopted a Marxist ideology of the Gramscian/Frankfurt School variant. Since 1970, only two Presidents, Reagan and Trump, have been in conflict with their aims.”

Obviously, Congress has given the President too much leeway.

And the voter bribery definitely needs to stop.

The time to charge Kamala under state law for voter subornation is now.

It is an infection of said republic with permanent bureaucracy.
You're preaching to the choir. I've been singing that song since 2004...literally.

Go Ahead, Just Believe...

As anyone who knows me can verify I've often railed about people who refer to our government as a Democracy when it is a Republic. It seems that there is a movement, with all of the "each vote counts" hullabaloo and the calls for the removal of the Electoral College, to bring about actual Democracy in America, yet that too won't make a difference. Because, and I hate to burst the bubble of those desiring a Democracy, and it doesn't matter what form of government is in place, we all face a more deadly peril that needs to be taken care of no matter which side of the political spectrum one may come from.

And, scoff as you will (I've got flame proof Skivvies), that peril is Bureaucracy, for that, in fact, is what America has become...a Bureaucracy. A body of nonelective government officials, administrative policy-making groups, and government by specialization of functions, adherence to fixed rules, and a hierarchy of authority.

The Constitutional Republic is an old structure, and it has termites.
A good spraying of some Schedule F when Trump gets back in is in order.

Our elected officials may not be ones we approve of, but Bureaucrats are there forever. We can get rid of one group, but the other is thoroughly entrenched behind their desks.

Now, if you're one of those folks who believe in the perpetual goodness of government and if you want to believe that these things are all being done for "the benefit of the American people", then "Go ahead, just believe"...

Kamala is not a natural born citizen and doesn’t deserve the protection of the impeachment process, IMO.

IMO, she can be indicted by a grand jury, charged with voter subornation, judicially declared not a natural born citizen, judicially declared not to be a vice president, placed under arrest and tried for voter subornation in each state with a voter subornation statute.

The state statutes were meant to block attempts to win office by voter bribery.

All these years here and you've learned nothing.

America's form of government is a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy.

I’ve noticed that when Tulsi and Vivek names appear on this site people seem to get in line to trash them. I’m convinced that if Trump was cloned he wouldn’t be good enough to work in his own administration. Look at the people he hung out with before politics. And yes he was a Democrat. Heck Ronald Reagan wouldn’t be good enough either. He also a former Democrat and union leader.

It isn't the imperfections I have an issue with, it's the ignorance.

This cannot be said enough. One of our failings is letting them hijacking meanings of words. The worthless press has been facilitating this for decades.

All those years in school, and you’ve learned nothing. I am doing a takeoff on what Joe Biden repeatedly says, and showing his true intent. The fact that the US is a Republic and not a Democracy is not relevant to the import of what he’s saying, and his true intent. Whatever America is, he is asserting his personal ownership, for him and his cronies. But if you insist. Pedantify away.

It’s pretty much all a show now.

Those who reach any real level are, unfortunately, controlled or they wouldn’t be there. (And Vivek has an especially noxious background.)

Even most of the perceived “alternative” media and anti-globalist pols are largely playing a part. There is a long history of this, perhaps most prominently with the passage of the Federal Reserve Act over a hundred years ago.

That said, I will still cast a vote for Trump.

Ah, mea culpa and my apologies. I missed the /sarcasm tag that wasn’t there.

“Until Lukács showed up, classical Marxist theory was based solely on the economic changes needed to overthrow class conflict. Weil was enthused by Lukács’ cultural angle on Marxism.

“Weil’s interest led him to fund a new Marxist think tank—the Institute for Social Research. It would later come to be known as simply The Frankfurt School.”

“As fate would have it, the National Socialists came to power in Germany in 1933. It was a bad time and place to be a Jewish Marxist, as most of the school’s faculty was. So, the school moved to New York City, the bastion of Western culture at the time.”

“In 1934, the school was reborn at Columbia University.”

“The school published a lot of popular material. The first of these was Critical Theory.”

“The theory was simple: criticize every pillar of Western culture—family, democracy, common law, freedom of speech, and others. The hope was that these pillars would crumble under the pressure.”

“Next was a book Theodor Adorno co-authored, The Authoritarian Personality. It redefined traditional American views on gender roles and sexual mores as “prejudice.”

“Adorno and Horkheimer returned to Germany when WWII ended. Herbert Marcuse, another member of the school, stayed in America. In 1955, he published Eros and Civilization.”

“The book called for “polymorphous perversity,” a concept crafted by Freud. It posed the idea of sexual pleasure outside the traditional norms.”

“Marcuse would be the one to answer Horkheimer’s question from the 1930s: Who would replace the working class as the new vanguards of the Marxist revolution?

“Marcuse believed that it would be a victim coalition of minorities—blacks, women, and homosexuals.

“The social movements of the 1960s—black power, feminism, gay rights, sexual liberation—gave Marcuse a unique vehicle to release cultural Marxist ideas into the mainstream.”

“The Frankfurt School’s work has had a deep impact on American culture. It has recast the homogenous America of the 1950s into today’s divided, animosity-filled nation.

“In turn, this has contributed to the undeniable breakdown of the family unit, as well as identity politics, radical feminism, and racial polarization in America.”

While I appreciate the sentiment it seems I missed the tongue in cheek manner in which Eleutheria5 intended the reply to be taken.

Playing devil's advocate may often bring the heat, which it did in that instance, to my embarrassment.

You see Eleutheria5, I went to school and I'm still on my first cup of coffee after a late night.

For many, no one is pure enough. It is impossible to come over to the good side.

Reagan never would have been elected if you listen to that bunch.

You can’t win elections if you can’t bring people to your table because the truth is that it is quite possible for people to grow politically. Many have that epiphany and wake up from the party of hate and destruction sold as “joy”.

I like Tulsi and Vivek. People should give them a chance.

Trump described himself as a Republican back in 1987 in his interview with Larry King.

But I think Reagan is a good enough example. I think David Horowitz is as good or better, because he was absolutely as far left as one could go, and he saw the light.

Make no mistake; the form of government in the United States is a blackmailocracy.

Any test to verify it passes.

Not one of Jeffrey Epstein's clients have been charged. Not one.
