Voting In America Deceit At Its Finest

by Bill Mcclellan

(I would like to begin with a Public Service Announcement). You may have noted I did not have a column last month. First time in over 40 years. I have shingles. We are not taught enough about this disease. It is not deadly. It is nerve damage and painful. If you had chicken pox you have the shingles virus hiding out in your body. Some say 1 out of 3 of us, most say half will acquire shingles in our lives if we had chicken pox. Please, look it up. It is so important to get the Shingles shot. Trust me please. I had no idea that something this impairing was so likely to happen and it did. Again, please take the time to look it up. I am 7 weeks into this problem and still cannot do a day without pain medication.

VOTING IN AMERICA: DECEIT AT ITS FINEST

“NOTE: This shows the epitome of the defective egotistic personality flaws of greed. In that sentence may lie the death knell for mankind. This simple note is the answer to saving mankind and our selfserving tragic leaders will not address it. The extreme and ignored cause of all our woes is financial profit in Politics. If we were to remove this incentive, we would draw our finest rather than our current group of genuinely fully self-serving immoral leadership. That would remove the self-serving cunning vile deceit of the wealthy. It would remove those of like ilk that they buy, that suck up our bounty and the quality of our livelihoods. This is the only way to address the massive difficulties of our time. It is the bottom-line answer to all that is wrong: Remove the profit incentive from leadership, which will replace the bad and course correct the far fewer good. This will cause the best of what we are and real answers will quickly come to be. In doing so our system, drenched in gridlock, lies and lack of integrity will return to patriotic and real American pursuit.”

The note above contains the cause of and answer to the multiple wrongs that have evolved into a conglomeration of social tragedy. From our day to day lives to gerrymandering and rigged elections to allowing smart individuals to become more powerful than government and on and on. If we addressed this “Note,” we would properly address the nuclear, climate, and population disasters that are now on the horizon. We would act on the ignored pure fact that on November 20, 2022 we exceeded earth’s carrying capacity of 8 million people on earth. Which is fatal territory for our species. As well fairness and human justice would become our course repairing untold damage. The following is written with this explanation ignored as we silently and perpetually are eroding the future: Unless we wake us up.

Let’s not mince words.

We need leaders who adhere to the well-being of people. We do not have anything close to that. Dangerous and corrupt legislation is written by Corporations and the vote bought. Any whim from any entity is entertained by our leaders to remain in power. They don’t realize it is not about

them. They covet power and money. Our Congress is about self only. And they are bought by the real supreme leaders of our land where pure greed reigns. Corporations and Billionaires. Lies, distortion, and harmful deed is just fine for them to stay in office. Nothing else matters. And this will remain until you remove money from Politics. The first day of that happening would be the birth of course to save us from ourselves on these vital matters, ie. Nuclear, Climate and Population

Not to mention our bounty and the quality of life of each of us in this land.

The reckless growth of wealth and monopolies have consumed power and destroyed the regulation that keeps them in line. They succeeded by reforming our electoral system full of incentive for purchasing the elected. A systemic method that draws those that can be bought. It’s so insane that today six families own half of America’s wealth. They have succeeded and the world is paying dearly.

First, we must realize we do not live in a Democracy. Not even close. Wealth has successfully purchased the process. The greatest American deceit of all time is the false representation that in America citizens vote for their government. In truth the government is vastly chosen for you. In most cases before the election. Yes, in most cases Politicians choose the voters rather than the voters choosing the Politicians. This is called “Gerrymandering.” Or self-interest demographic manipulation by party officials. There are no meaningful governing standards. A disgraceful blatant injustice of the highest order that renders most voting in America “a lie.” It is not the voting itself that MAGA believes is corrupt. It is the con and deceit before the election. It is all bought and designed before the vote. And both parties are mutually complicit.

Gerrymandering is the brutalizing of the intent of districting and inserting unbeatable design into districting. For example, if Democrats have a heavy presence on the Southside and they need to win the East Side they draw their district to include the South and the East Side forcing a district where their voters are prominent. This simply insures the win. Your vote is merely symbolic. When you come to understand this repulsive manipulative process, you become gravely and sadly aware of what has happened to this land. Which is smothering with systemic corruption.

Very smart rich people have designed an intricate system of deceit.

The end goal, which has been achieved is to convince you that you live in reasonable compliance with a democracy, whereby the will of the people successfully decides your leaders. When in truth either gerrymandering or people like Elon Musk, and Jeff Bezos hold more sway over our elections than all voters combined. This is achieved through manipulations such as Twitter, Tik Tok (Tik Tok is owned and influenced by China) and Facebook and huge sums of money wherever a useful audience exists. As well as designing districts where they cannot lose. They even buy or own entire media conglomerates and their employees. A few people should not have this kind of power. They have studied how our collective minds work within the demographics of specific areas and design ads that influence specific localities. Pure con for votes. A vote that in most eyes has the appearance of integrity when there is none. The filth and deceit are buried under this veneer.

Corrective legislation from Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson to Frank Delano Roosevelt has been decimated by monopoly money. They wrangled the legislators until all rules on the size of business were ended. That was the beginning of the end of “All people are created equal.” It was also the beginning of the end of the proper power of the three branches that run America. Wealth now ensures who serves in all three branches. Even the Supreme Court has lost its integrity. It has also been bought and reflects the will of wealth and not the people.

Wealth that destroys our quality of life to suck up our bounty are now in charge of their own rules. The Supreme Court has recently ruled that Corporations are people and as such, billionaires can influence as much as they desire. They now allow dark money where a million-dollar briber can remain anonymous. And favor in return is rampant common practice. Buying politicians and buying votes is standard and allowed which is disgustingly traitorous to the people of this land. Twitter and the others are places where truth is distorted to fit wealthy interests and control the arena.

Our system has been redesigned to force a result that renders voting a frame up that insures the vast majority of

winners beforehand. Re-districting has been decimated. Today, redistricting is where parties gerrymander by designing voting blocks of their own voters. Wealth has no party favorite. That is the beauty of the con. They bought them all. This ensures their candidate wins and is why longevity has become the order of the day in Congress. This is vote fixing.

Unfairness permeates America. Another example: Wyoming has a population of 579,000. Alaska has 733,000. Total: 1,312,000. New York State has 20,000,000, California has 39,000.000. Total: 59,000,000. All four of these states get 2 senators. They have equal power in the Senate. This renders the votes of 57,698,000 meaningless in California and New York in Senatorial elections. Then you have the Electoral College where massive unfairness, clearly, strongly demeans systemic equality. The Electoral College demeans the vote for millions and is in need of real American revision. This system requires an article of disgust in its’ own right.

His truth, in truth, is no longer marching on. His integrity is bought and his “Truth” is in tears. Until this issue is addressed in America. Otherwise, we may well be in the nuclear, population and/or climate “End Times.” So sorry folks. These cruel fools show no sign that anything matters but their own personal plight.
