The first three \u201cestates\u201d are the aristocracy, the clergy, and the public. If the press represent not the public, but instead one of the two other classes \u2014 the aristocracy and\/or the clergy \u2014 then what exists is a dictatorship by that actually ruling class against the public, not a democracy by the public. The public cannot rule in such a country. They instead are manipulated in it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">They may be manipulated to believe that they rule, but it\u2019s only a manipulated illusion then; it\u2019s not real; it\u2019s a fraud, of the most massive type. Such a country cannot possibly be a real democracy; it\u2019s a fraudulent \u2018democracy.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Evidence will be presented here that democracy no longer exists in the United States. Part of this evidence is personal, something that I always prefer to avoid, but which happens to be integral to this particular news-report and analysis. So: it\u2019s necessary, in this case.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the article&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How the Public Are Deceived by the \u2018News\u2019 If the public is systematically lied-to by the Government and by a virtually uniformly cooperative press suppressing key facts in order to pump that lie, such as was the case during 2002 and 2003 in the lead-up to America\u2019s invasion of Iraq, then there can\u2019t possibly be [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[204,379,2864,927,512,655,1250],"class_list":["post-6406","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-liberty","tag-democracy","tag-government","tag-lies","tag-manipulation","tag-media","tag-propaganda","tag-truth"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6406","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6406"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6406\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6407,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6406\/revisions\/6407"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6406"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6406"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6406"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
