Big-Time Politics

In the real politics of US imperialism, there are only two political parties. In fact, the Republicans and Democrats are twin parties of the US ruling class. Barack Obama was elected as “the change you can believe in,” as the alternate to the much-despised George Bush. And what the American people and the world obtained was George Bush Obama.

There is no difference between the Bush and Obama politics. Shifts in this or that policy may occur, but that is basically due to the fact that domestic and especially world reality does not always concur with the evil designs of US imperialism. That is to say, that tactical shifts in US policy sometimes occur, but these are rarely due to the change of face in the White House, much less because of the election of this or that senator, congressman, etc.

In the US, it is prohibitively expensive for anyone but the financially endowed to run for major political office. Moreover, the election laws are rigged to make it extremely difficult for genuine independents to even get on the ballot.

In parallel with the mass media, there are the politician “outliers,” who make relatively progressive pronouncements or even introduce progressive bills. Nothing comes of their phony efforts; nothing is supposed to come of them. But they give the false impression of “democracy:” “see, we have so-and-so taking up our cause; all is not lost.” Fakery!

Most importantly, all candidates – for whatever office, even on a purely local level – are vetted by the US secret political police. If one or another aspirant does not pass muster, he can be eliminated by conventional means or by the devices of hidden psychological warfare.

Treachery!! Предательство!!

The feared “Soviet” secret service, the KGB, was always controlled by the the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency of the USA). As such, the CIA - KGB played an insidious and decisive role in the destruction of the Soviet Union.

The KGB's successor in conspiracy, the “Russian” secret service FSB (ФСБ - Федеральная служба «безопасности» России) is likewise controlled by the CIA.

Among the manifold CIA – FSB tasks in stifling Arnold Lockshin is to block almost all commentaries sent in response to my material on the internet.

ФСБ - Федеральная служба «безопасности» России - по приказу своего секретного постоянного хозяина - американского ЦРУ блокирует, не пропускает почти все отправленные мне комментарии.

И это далеко не всё.
