Escaping the Matrix (2)
[Harvard professor Samuel P.] Huntington tells us that democratic societies “cannot work” unless the citizenry is “passive.” The “democratic surge of the 1960s” represented an “excess of democracy,” which must be reduced if governments are to carry out their traditional domestic and foreign policies. Huntington’s notion of “traditional policies” is expressed in a passage from the report:
“To the extent that the United States was governed by anyone during the decades after World War II, it was governed by the President acting with the support and cooperation of key individuals and groups in the executive office, the federal bureaucracy, Congress, and the more important businesses, banks, law firms, foundations, and media, which constitute the private sector’s ‘Establishment’.”
In these few words Huntington spells out the reality that electoral democracy has little to do with how America is run, and summarizes the kind of people who are included within the elite planning community. Who needs conspiracy theories when elite machinations are clearly described in public documents like these?

Buckle up, we’ll chase each other
It’s not a lot it’s just enough to matter
Anyway you want the truth is
I will marry you on tuesday
I don’t always tell the truth
If you want it you could lose, don’t bother
I don’t like it if you miss me
Why would I long for you?Is it up to you?
