I have already dug into the Corporate Crony Network that is gouging $6,000 from each AMerican family in corporate welfare and subsidies, so I merely mention it here.
But if you think that elections cannot be rigged, meet Mr Sepúlveda who has made a career of rigging elections across two continents, mostly in Latin America.
For $12,000 a month, a customer hired a crew that could hack smartphones, spoof and clone Web pages, and send mass e-mails and texts. The premium package, at $20,000 a month, also included a full range of digital interception, attack, decryption, and defense. The jobs were carefully laundered through layers of middlemen and consultants. Sepúlveda says many of the candidates he helped might not even have known about his role; he says he met only a few.
His teams worked on presidential elections in Nicaragua, Panama, Honduras, El Salvador, Colombia, Mexico, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Venezuela. Campaigns mentioned in this story were contacted through former and current spokespeople; none but Mexico’s PRI and the campaign of Guatemala’s National Advancement Party would comment....
Sepúlveda says he was offered several political jobs in Spain, which he says he turned down because he was too busy. On the question of whether the U.S. presidential campaign is being tampered with, he is unequivocal. “I’m 100 percent sure it is,” he says.
Yeah, and so are a growing number of Americans as well, awakened to the theft of our democratic Republic, if it is not too late. From computer rigged elections to buying elections, the US election process is horribly damaged, but hopefully we can still fix it.
But the question of whether our electoral process will ever be fixed is beside the point. We are engaged in a doomed political and economic process that is hitting its end stage.
See, we dont have enough babies in the US to still continue with a normal economy which has labor niches that require cheap, low education labor. Since about 1975 that has been filled by immigration labor, since LBJs Great Society Program dried up the native born cheap labor.
But the kink to that strategem is that jobs are going over seas keeping more and more economic immigrants at home, and the child birth rates are dropping world wide. For the first time in human history, people over 65 years old out number children under 5 years old. That is an enormous problem for all of humanity, but it is also the death knell to the US economy as jobs are not shrinking as quickly as the population of young people will be. This means that businesses will not be able to expand and make more profits due to lack of labor once the tide of immigration turns away from the US toward other countries and to simply stay at home. IT is easier to migrate to China from India than across the Pacific to the USA.
Historically national economies are tied to the child birth rates in a positive way; the more kids, the wealthier a nation tends to be as long as it is not too many kids. There must be demographic growth for a nations economy to continue to thrive, and we are seeing the end of our population growth over the next couple of decades. This used to be universally understood, but is today a point of debate, almost as though the shrinking of the consumer market is somehow good for any economy. This creates pressure to drop border security so that businesses can get their supply of cheap labor.
But aside from simple Demographics, the two political parties in the USA have been engaged in a race to grow their political patronage network with each new election. With the faltering US economy stuck in seemingly permanent job-less doldrums, especially if you are native born Americans, the growth of the political patronage networks is coming to an abrupt halt very soon. As white males continue to get punished for being white males, the core demographic that holds this nation together collapses and the nation soon implodes.
How our political elites will respond is anybodies guess, but if history repeats itself here in the US as it has in the Soviet Union, the British and French Empires and the nation of Yugoslavia and a great many others, once the central money spicket is shut off, the regional power interests within that nation split off.
Welcome to the Twilight of the American Republic, soon to be replaced with the American Oligarch Empire.
