wasn't intending to post this third pcr essay because he speaks of things in full opposition to the 'official' history of the empire. then i got to the part presented below and changed my mind. its longer than his usual stuff and there are some things i can't testify about but he makes many good points;


But let’s assume that blacks didn’t/don’t get to vote.  Why do we think voting matters? What good has voting done the white working class and the white middle class, a rapidly declining majority of the population but still the majority of the population? Did voting stop their jobs and careers from being offshored to Asia?  How come the voting public that wants health care can’t get it, but the military/security/Israeli complex can get all the money and wars it wants?  How come the people want more environmental protection, but the existing protection is being dismantled?  Trump gets blamed, but the protections are being dismantled by the extractive industries and agri-business that rule in the place of voters.  “Voting” works, but only for the big money interest groups who fund the political campaigns.  The vote of the timber/mining/energy lobby or the vote of the military/security complex or Wall Street or the Israel Lobby exceeds the vote of the entirety of the voting population.  When Americans vote, all they do is to provide cover for the powerful interest groups who are ripping them off behind the mask of democracy and voting.  How come blacks can change things by voting when whites cannot?  Nowhere in the Western world does voting work. The British people voted three years ago to leave the European Union, but they are still in with diminishing prospects that the British government will ever abide by the people’s vote...........https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2019/09/24/we-are-jeopardized-by-the-creation-of-false-realities/
