pcr always hits his targets and here he identifies many and leaves you to decide where you wish to stand when it all becomes clear;

Paul Craig Roberts
It is customary to speak of Western countries as democracies. In actual fact, the countries are oligarchies in which voting, which conveys the semblance that government is accountable to the people, seldom changes anything as elected officials are constrained by the power of organized interest groups. President Trump is the latest example. He has been blocked in his goal of reducing tensions with Russia.
The European Union has been an anti-democratic undertaking from the beginning. Deception was the method. At first it was a free trade zone. Then a common currency. Then unified fiscal policies which means centralization and political union with formerly sovereign countries becoming provinces in a European government. Countries that voted down joining were subjected to threats and browbeating and forced to vote again by which time the media had convinced the people that they had no alternative to joining or they would be “left behind” in a backwater existence.
Despite the facts, politicians maintained the fiction that EU member countries remained democratic and responsive to the will of their citizens. German Chancellor Merkel, who ended her career by her unilateral decision to impose a million or more illegal Third World immigrants on Germans and Germans’ resources, destroyed this fiction.
Merkel clearly does not care what the German people think. She revealed again her total disdain for democracy at a recent event of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation in Berlin where she condemned those who think political leaders should listen to the will of the people. The German people, she said, are just “individuals who are living in a country; they do not define the German people.” The German people are whoever migrates to Germany as a result of the UN Migration Pact that she signed despite its rejection by the German citizens of Germany. “Nation states,” Merkel declared, “must today be prepared to give up their sovereignty.” Politicians must not listen, she said, to the will of their citizens when it comes to questions of immigration, borders, and sovereignty........https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2019/01/03/the-demise-of-the-west-part-ii-western-elites-are-anti-democratic/

this intro bit comes from the middle of the article and i think makes much clear for those who's vision is a bit muddy;


Ever since I was kid, I have heard people exclaim, “How could the German people have supported Hitler?” The answer is a simple one: Many Germans, like many American conservatives today, embraced the great man theory of governance. In their minds, Hitler was a great man, a veteran and a patriot who Germany was fortunate, they said, to have serving as their leader.
To make Germany great again, after the devastation of World War I, all that Germans had to do was empower Hitler to do whatever was necessary to make Germany great again. That’s what the Enabling Act was all about , along with Hitler’s wars on communism and terrorism. The job of the citizenry, the Hitlerites said, was to unconditionally and loyally support their leader.
Now, before Trumpsters write to me and complain that I am comparing Trump to Hitler, let me make it perfectly clear that I am not doing that. Instead, I am comparing Trump’s followers to Hitler’s followers, both of whom were and are believers in the great man theory of governance. That’s why Hitler’s followers were as fiercely supportive of him as Trump’s followers are of Trump........https://www.fff.org/2019/01/03/the-great-man-theory-of-governance/

and you might ask yourself who exactly those cultural marxists are but it would give them license to attack if i told you so i advise you do a bit of research for the answers because it has been ongoing;

caitlin always seems to excel at hitting nails squarely upon their heads and does so here speaking about a journalist quitting nbc for all of the right reasons;


A journalist with NBC has resigned from the network with a statement which highlights the immense resistance that ostensibly liberal mass media outlets have to antiwar narratives, skepticism of US military agendas, and any movement in the opposite direction of endless military expansionism.
“January 4 is my last day at NBC News and I’d like to say goodbye to my friends, hopefully not for good,” begins an email titled ‘My goodbye letter to NBC’ sent to various contacts by William M Arkin, an award-winning journalist who has been associated with the network for 30 years.
“This isn’t the first time I’ve left NBC, but this time the parting is more bittersweet, the world and the state of journalism in tandem crisis,” the email continues. “My expertise, though seeming to be all the more central to the challenges and dangers we face, also seems to be less valued at the moment. And I find myself completely out of synch with the network, being neither a day-to-day reporter nor interested in the Trump circus.”.........https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2019/01/03/reporter-quits-nbc-citing-networks-support-for-endless-war/
