Regime Change: US\u2019 Failing Weapon of International Deception<\/a><\/h3>\n

For years, Winston Churchill\u2019s famous quote, \u201cIt has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried<\/em>,\u201d has served as Americans\u2019 last word in any political discussion which requires validation of the US government, no matter how corrupt or flawed in its behavior, as the best in the planet, comparatively or by default.\u00a0 Never mind the meaning that Mr. Churchill had intended back in 1947, or how the international political panorama has changed during the past seven decades.<\/p>\n

These remarks were made by Britain\u2019s prime minister before the House of Commons a few months before there was a changing of the guards in the \u201cAnglo-Saxon Empire\u201d as the Brits gave away their colonial hegemony in favor of the super-influential economic and military power represented by the United States.\u00a0 And that was symbolically marked by Britain\u2019s relinquishing its mandate in Palestine, and the creation of Israel.<\/p>\n

Such reference to democracy in the quote, explicitly defining it as a \u201cgovernment by the people,\u201d basically applied to Britain and the United States at the close of World War II; but such condition has deteriorated in the US to the point where the \u201ccommon people\u201d no longer have a say as to how the nation is run, either directly or through politicians elected with financial support provided by special interests, undoubtedly expecting their loyalty-vote.\u00a0 Yet, while this un-democratization period in our system of government was happening, there were many nations that were adopting a true code of democracy, their citizens having a greater say as to how their countries are governed.\u00a0 Recognizing such occurrence, however, is a seditious sin for an American mind still poisoned by the culture of exceptionalism and false pride in which it has been brainwashed.<\/p>\n
