How is it possible that our governments (USA & UK) have been allowed to remain in power?

Question

How come the people still believe that melodic, hypnotic voice that spews the same message of duplicity and innuendo all of these years ? I know I am not alone, I understand the heads of our governments are puppets, I acknowledge there are advisers who prefer to remain invisable from the masses. I also know the golden rule, the man with the gold makes the rules and changes them when he chooses. I understand that the banking system is the gold, too many of our population are now in their pay. They can be stopped, simply. The CONductor awaits the orchestra, what would happen if the orchestra refused to play the CONductor's CONcerto .....?

Answer 1

They have $multi-trillion budgets, large nuclear arsenals, and more bullets than hair follicles. I have $857 and a steak knife. They win.

Answer 2

I will not speak for the UK as I am a US citizen. In the United States we have a democratically elected government. The people choose their leaders. I know there are people who believe that elections are stolen, but I honestly consider this a case of sore losers. I will admit that many elected leaders appear to be unwilling to listen to the will of the people, but we still have the power to change that through elections. If more people would exercise their right to vote we might see meaningful change. Further people must demand an end to lobbying in order to eliminate the systematic corruption of the system by those of means. This idea of grand global conspiracies is detrimental to the process overall. By assigning this cloak and dagger mentality to the system you in effect disenfranchise yourself with the attitude that you cannot change the system because of the faceless power brokers acting against your will. The simple fact is people get the government they vote for and if they allow the status quo to exist then change never occurs. If you truly want change, think critically, get involved, vote and propose positive change that will rally the masses, not doom, gloom, despair and crippling apathy.

Answer 3

Boy would you like the Democrats. They don't like the banking system either. They only like the unions, lawyers& NEA.I guess you would like these groups .What would you replace the current goverments with. The workers running things.I believe 50 years ago someone else had the same idea. The workers should be in charge because they made the goods.. Oh Yes I remember now who had that idea ,the Communist party of Russia.

Answer 4

The governments are not "allowed" to stay in power. They were elected to power by getting more votes than the party out of power. In our system (the countries you mentioned) it is easy to get them out of power. Just get more people to vote against them than vote for them.
Evidently, there are a lot of people who do not agree with you.
So far as I am concerned, if we are not safe, nothing else matters. I believe we are safer not that we have taken the fight to the enemy.
