Not long ago, Hillary Clinton was outed for hypocrisy and corruption when 3,000 emails were released from her private email server in late December of 2015. The emails detailed how a violent intervention was not really necessary in Libya, and that the invasion was less about protecting the people from a dictator than it was about money, banking, oil, and preventing African economic sovereignty. You can read more about that here.
Now Clinton has come under fire again, this time for emails she sent while serving as Secretary of State. If you haven’t already heard (no mainstream media outlets seem to be acknowledging this), Wikileaks released a searchable archive of 30,322 emails pulled from a private account she was using during this time. The messages have been made easily available and in a searchable format.
A few days after this, Wikileaks accused the social media giant Facebook of deliberately censoring and blocking access to the post.
Here’s what the Anti-Media had to say about the release:
The scary, albeit fascinating exposé on who’s in bed with whom in the halls of global power has expanded to include Facebook, according to WikiLeaks. The organization has accused the social networking site of censorship, saying Facebook is blocking users’ access to the latest Clinton dispatch.
The Problem With Politics That Nobody Ever Talks About
Countless politicians and presidents have told the world, over and over again, that a ‘hidden hand’ or ‘invisible’ government is really in charge, and that this ‘shadow’ government is free from the law itself, doing whatever it wants while amassing enormous amounts of power and perpetuating the military industrial complex. This unidentified conglomerate controls the entire political process — not heads of state — which is probably why President Rosevelt told us that presidents are “selected, not elected.”
Below is a statement from Senator William Jenner, given to Congress in 1954:
Today the path to total dictatorship in the U.S. can be laid by strictly legal means, unseen and unheard by Congress, the President, or the people. . . . We have a well-organized political-action group in this country, determined to destroy our Constitution and establish a one-party state. It operates secretly, silently, continuously to transform our Government . . . [and] this ruthless power-seeking elite is a disease of our century. This group is answerable neither to the President, the Congress, nor the courts. It is practically irremovable. (source)

Bernie Sanders recently made this point as well, revealing to the American people, in no uncertain terms, how little power presidents truly have:
No matter who is elected to be president, that person will not be able to address the enormous problems facing the working families of our own country. They will not be able to succeed because the power of corporate America, the power of Wall Street, the power of campaign donors is so great that no president alone can stand up to them. (source)
Unfortunately, the common theory that Democrats and Republicans are merely two wings of the same bird, sharing the same flight path, seems to be holding true. If there is one major problem with this entire political process, it’s that it gives us the illusion of democracy. Think about it: Does voting really make any difference whatsoever? With the entire American political system lying in the hands of a small group of people and the corporations they run, all held together by the big banks, what good does electing a president who has absolutely no power do?
Even if they do have influence, most are bought and paid for by their sponsors, and many engage in activities that are concealed from public knowledge; these Hillary emails are a great example of that. We live in a world of secrecy, one in which transparency efforts like those of Julian Assange and Edward Snowden are condemned. What kind of a democracy is this? The fact is that truth threatens the entire system of control, it threatens the interests of the global elite, and it threatens their ability to keep us quiet.
Politics has become a world of secrecy, one in which few citizens have any real idea of what is actually transpiring. An increased need for national security has provided the justification for such secrets, and as President Kennedy warned us, this constant, heightened need for security has been seized upon by those who continue to abuse the power it affords them. Dwight Eisenhower also warned us about the massive potential for misplaced power within the military industrial complex.
Again, politicians may be able to influence certain pieces of legislature here and there, but ultimately, corporations hold so much power over governmental policy that major legislature is rarely passed through an actually democratic process. Even if it does, it generally favours the big corporations. The Trans Pacific Partnership (TTP) is a great example of this. Every single year we experience the same thing — we hear the same promises, we are pounded with false hope, and we then put our desire for change in the hands of others. Electing a president these days is usually a pretty empty gesture.
“Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people.” (source) – President Roosevelt
