Our American society would collapse if it weren’t for 8 powerful myths that keep it running. Myth #8 - We have democracy. A large Princeton study found that we are without a doubt an oligarchy: Rule by a few members of an elite class. (Follow this thread for the other 7 myths)

Myth #7 - We have an accountable & legitimate voting system. We vote on completely unverifiable black box machines with hidden proprietary code. Another large Harvard study found that the US has the worst voting system in the Western World.

Myth #6 -We have an independent media that keeps the rulers accountable. Our media outlets are funded by weapons contractors, big pharma, big banks, big oil & big, fat hard-on pills. The media’s jobs are to rally for war, cheer for Wall Street & froth at the mouth for consumerism

Myth #5 - We have an independent judiciary. The criminal justice system has become a weapon wielded by the corporate state. This is how bankers can foreclose on millions of homes illegally & see no jail time, but activists often serve jail time for nonviolent civil disobedience.
