Excellent, must-read article!

Here is an article that you'll never see in the controlled, Judeo-plutocratic "mainstream" media. This is an exceptionally insightful and well written article. I had difficulty selecting the choicest excerpts, but I did the best I could; they are directly below, italicized, just beneath the photolink.









Language itself serves to thwart individual responses with a positivist 'common sense' that permits only the establishment meaning of words. Here the concept can only describe what is and does so with a fixed value. 'Democracy' can as such only refer to the liberal democratic system that exists in the United States (and its allies) at this time, and is the only moral form of governance. 'Justice' similarly means the result of the existing judicial process; 'freedom' denotes freedom to do what one is free (and appears free) to do under present conditions. Thus, language is practically tautological, perpetually referring to itself and denying reflection and conceptualisation outside of itself.

The ideology is complete in its realisation of the converse of its ideals. Just as consumers are presented with apparently infinite consumption and lifestyle choices that boil down to the one choice of commodity identity - buy to be - voters are fed the appearance of infinite choice while in reality having but one. The ideals resting on this 'choice' - freedom, democracy, rationality and the individual - are thus simultaneously lauded and denied, a permanent paradox the inevitable consequence of which is mounting orientation towards Fascistic tendencies. ...

The 'greatest democracy on earth' purports to urge its citizens to deliberate in perpetuum on every facet of the political personalities it puts forth, but the debate only serves "to perpetuate the semblance of competition and range of choice" [Dialectic of Enlightenment, p. 123]. There is in fact nothing for the voter himself to analyse and classify - categories (there truly being only one) were established for him long before the aborted ideal of democracy was instilled in him. The sound of the pundits, analysts, experts, debating societies and the word on the street are just an ideology talking to itself. ...

What is never questioned by the entire spectacular coverage of the campaigns is the dominance of the few. "Freedom would be not to choose between black and white but to abjure such prescribed choices," [Minima Morali, p. 132] and the process of choosing a master upholds the system of master and slave. That the master is lauded as slave to the will of the people is the pinnacle of the doublespeak of liberal democracy. Whoever wins the megaspectacle of the 2008 elections, it will simply be the system submitting to a vote which it has itself commanded.
