It’s false because it is
definitely untrue, and that’s not merely because America has a higher
percentage of its residents in prison than does any other nation on this planet,
but also because the only scientific studies that have been done of the matter
show — they prove scientifically —
that the US is a dictatorship by its
very wealthiest residents, against all the rest of the population.
Traditionally, that’s called an “aristocracy,” not a democracy, but ever since
Mussolini in the 1920s, it came to be called “fascism,” which is the successor
to “feudalism” and thus is merely the modernized form of feudalism. What used
to be called by such terms as “monarchy” or “aristocracy” is thus now called
“fascism” but the leopard is the same regardless of what it is labeled, and
what it really is a dictatorship. Mussolini sometimes instead called
fascism “corporationism” and it certainly is
today’s United States Government, even if some people choose to call it
‘democracy’. It’s what the
US Government has been scientifically proven to be: dictatorship, by the
richest few (the controlling owners of the international corporations), against
the entire public.
But even worse than being only false,
calling the US a ‘democracy’ is also itself extremely dangerous to the entire
world, and here is why:
Every time that
the US perpetrates a coup (such as it’s trying now to do against Venezuela) or a military
invasion (such as it did to Iraq 2003 and Libya 2011 and Syria 2012- and to
Yemen 2015-, and many others) the US regime and its propagandists call it an
action ‘for humanitarian purposes’, and for regime-change ‘to bring democracy
and human rights’ to that country, and it’s always lies, which wouldn’t even be
believed by anyone who knows that the US itself is actually a dictatorship,
which it is. So, the lie of calling the US a ‘democracy’ is actually okaying a
lying dictatorship by using, for it, the term “democracy,” which this
particular dictatorship chooses to refer to itself, for PR purposes.
Calling the US
a ‘democracy’ is to support this government that the entire world (in the only polls
that have been done of the matter) recognizes to be the most aggressive and
dangerous regime on Earth. To smear the good name of “democracy”
that way, by calling the world’s most rapacious Government a ‘democracy’, is to
assist in corroding that high term of praise, “democracy,” and turning it
instead into an insult, which applies to what is actually the globally
recognized most aggressive and dangerous nation on this planet.
The United
States of America used to be a limited democracy, but now it’s no longer even
that, and to call it a ‘democracy’ at all is not only false, but it
encourages the world’s most dangerous and harmful regime and sets it as a model
for other nations. To encourage evil by lying to say it’s not that but is
instead good, is itself evil, or else rabidly ignorant and deceived; but, in
any case, it is a very wrong thing to do.
On March 7th the liberal US billionaire who owns
Bloomberg News was so much opposed to the over-the-top, far
too overtly fascist, billionaires who now control the country, so that Bloomberg News
headlined “Pence Asked Merkel to Provoke
Russia by Sending Warships to Crimea”, and their reporters
opened:
The US
leaned on German Chancellor Angela Merkel last month to conduct a naval
maneuver in Russia’s backyard aimed at provoking President Vladimir Putin,
according to three people familiar with the talks. At a Feb. 16 meeting at the
Munich Security Conference, US Vice President Mike Pence urged Merkel to send
German warships through a narrow channel between the Crimean peninsula and
mainland Russia to show Putin that Western powers won’t surrender their access
to those waters, according to the officials, who spoke on condition of
anonymity. The German leader refused, they said.
On March 8th, RT (a reliably truthful
news-site that the US regime calls ‘fake news’ because it reports truths the US
rulers don’t want the public to know) headlined "Caving in to the US? Brussels
kills its own money laundering ‘blacklist’ after Washington criticism" and
reported that the US regime objected to the EU’s European Commission including
in its proposed list of 11 additional money-laundering centers four US
territories, after which “the Council of the European Union, which consists of
the ministers representing all 28 EU members, justified its decision to reject
the document with the arguments that seemed strikingly similar to those
employed by the US Treasury.” Page 11 of the European Commission’s 36-page
detailed explanation of its proposed list said: “Based on the
review of additional information sources, the Commission's analysis has
concluded that 11 additional jurisdictions present strategic deficiencies for
the purposes of Article 9 of Directive (EU) 2015/849. Those jurisdictions are
the following: Afghanistan, American Samoa, Guam, Iraq, Libya, Nigeria, Panama,
Puerto Rico, Saudi Arabia, US Virgin Islands, Samoa.” The objective of the
additions was to make more difficult the laundering of proceeds from
crime. A legal advisory from a law firm
representing US international corporations explained that “The
US Treasury Department has objected to the inclusion of American Samoa, Guam,
Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands on the grounds that the European
Commission did not follow the methodology used by FATF in developing its own
list of high-risk third countries, and that FATF standards apply to all US
territories.”
Supposedly, the
methodology of FATF was more ‘transparent’ than that set forth in the European
Commission’s 36-page detailed explanation of its proposed 11 additions. The
European Council arrived at its rejection of the 11 additions to the list on the grounds that “The
consultation ended on 28 February 2019, with the required majority of
delegations having declared their intention to object to the delegated act in
question, in particular on the basis that the act was not established in a
sufficiently transparent way.” The European Council thus accepted without
question the US regime’s undocumented allegation that the US regime’s chosen
methodology is more ‘transparent’ than the European Commission’s is. In a press
release, the European Council justified its
decision on the grounds that it “cannot support the current
proposal that was not established in a transparent and resilient process that
actively incentivises affected countries to take decisive action while also
respecting their right to be heard.” In short: BS. How can either the US
regime, or the one in the EU, reasonably claim to be ‘transparent’? It’s ridiculous.
That’s merely a relationship between the imperial nation and its vassal-states.
They’re all dictatorships, they’re a hierarchy of dictatorships. But only the
US dictatorship has been scientifically proven.
Anyone who opposes America’s dictatorship of the world
will call the US regime what it is: a dictatorship. This cat is now out of the
bag and roaming wildly, almost everywhere, trying now even for Venezuela, the
Kerch Strait and the South China Sea.
(Calling the South China Sea and Kerch Strait ‘disputed waters’ is like calling
the surrounding waters of the US ‘disputed waters’; but only the international
bully-regime is deliberately trying to “provoke” other nations in order to get
them to buckle to its international dictatorship — which is the US regime,
which regime Obama had called “the one indispensable nation,” meaning that
all others are
‘dispensable’. It’s clearly not only Trump
that’s the problem. It’s the regime, which is the dictatorship, and it outlasts
any particular ruler.)
The US is no democracy. It clearly is a
dictatorship, by its richest. To call that a ‘democracy’, is to insult
democracy itself. Maybe America’s actual rulers would therefore like that.
