The Anti-Incumbency Movement is Dead

In the larger picture, the anti-incumbency movement merely serves as a distraction from more sensible approaches for reforming and revitalizing American democracy. It is just another of a seemingly endless array of ineffective and marginalized political reform movements. Until American patriots and dissidents unite behind something a lot more powerful the two-party plutocracy will remain in power.
The core problem is that the public has been thoroughly brainwashed to believe in the two-party system. One major consequence is that they refuse to vote for third-party candidates, so that even when they see what is tragic about our politicians they think the solution as voting for a challenger from the other major party. This happens despite the high fraction of voters registered as independents.
The anti-incumbency movement could only be successful if it was truly bipartisan so that voters rejected not only ALL incumbent Democrats and Republicans, but also refused to elect new members to Congress from BOTH major parties. Merely shifting control of Congress from one of the major parties to the other has never worked effectively. Why? Simple, both major parties have been corrupted by the same corporate and other special interests that pervert public policies to serve them rather than the general public.
The problem is that we still do not effective political competition in a nation that prides itself about competition. The two-party duopoly and plutocracy has worked hard to block true political competition. When it comes to congressional elections, gerrymandering has been used as a potent weapon. Gerrymandering of districts by both major parties when they have the power to accomplish it has not only protected incumbents, it has also made it nearly impossible for third party congressional candidates that are on a huge number of ballots to be successful.
Nelson Lee Walker of Tenure Corrupts recently made these sage observations: Im coming around to the idea that the bulk of the American people are basically stupid, stupid, stupid! Why? How else can we explain how Congress, which has a 9% approval rating, gets reelected about 95% of the time? Do we ever throw the bums out? Listen to these stats: Senate: As of 2008, of 100 Senators, 39 (39%) reelected for 18 yrs or more, 4 over 40 years! House: As of 2008, of 435 members, 143 (33%) reelected for 14 yrs or more, 5 over 36 years! And the longer these guys are in office, the more of them will run unopposed in future elections, since nobody will bother to challenge them. Unopposed races have doubled in the last 20 years, from 40 to 80 seats. And who is responsible for this sad state of affairs? YOU!!! Not your dumb neighbor. Not the media. Not the crooked political system. Just YOU, the typical stupid American! The guy who complains how those crooked politicians are ripping off the country and sending us all down the tubes, and then reelects them!
In this of all years these critical views are hard to dispute. After all, could it be any clearer that the anti-incumbency movement is a failure? I urge those who have put so much time and energy into the anti-incumbency movement to call it quits and devote themselves to strategies that may be more effective. One option is to work hard to form a new national third party. Another is to support the relatively new nonpartisan attempt by Friends of the Article V Convention at www.foavc.org to compel Congress to give Americans what they have a constitutional right to have and what has been requested by the required number of states, and what the Founders believed we would need when the public lost trust and confidence in the federal government: an Article V convention that could consider proposals for constitutional amendments, a number of which could truly reform the structure of our dysfunctional political system.
For too long Congress has refused to obey the Constitution and we dumb Americans have let them get away with it, in large part because both Democrats and Republicans have feared (and instilled fear about) such a convention. The same people that keep getting elected to Congress! Hows that for symmetrical infamy ?

In the fifth DVD of the “UFO Hypotheses” series, Collier, a UFO contactee since the age of eight, speaks openly and candidly to a small crowd of about twenty people on Easter Day, 1995. Collier shares the Andromedan ETs’ perspective about a great many things, including the pyramid structure of regressive ETs that control the highest levels of the shadow government of the United States. Collier says that the human ETs from Andromeda warn of an upcoming abuse of power by the National Security Agency (NSA) now evidenced by Patriot Acts 1 and 2, passed by a witless Congress, which not only upends our Constitution and constitutional form of government, but also makes Congress themselves irrelevant.

Saint Nancy Pelosi has been caught in several lies to date however, Saint Nancy Pelosi is now claiming that everyone including CIA has lied or is lying except her. It is illegal for the CIA to lie to Congress however it is not illegal for Congress to lie to the public who by the way Congress works for. If everyone wants change then that is what needs to change.
The media is being used as a tool of the evil U.S. Government’s agenda. They(U.S. Congress) know this is happening. Why does Nancy Pelosi never speak the “truth” about the September 11, 2001 so-called terrorist attacks? Why does U.S. Congressman(Ron Paul. Dennis Kucinich,and ALL Congress/SENATE) never SPEAK TRUTH about 9/11? Why don’t THEY SPEAK the TRUTH about ANYTHING the ILLEGAL PRESIDENT(OBAMA) DOES? Why does the Senate and White House have Youtube channels? Surely THEY know what is on Youtube about the so-called 9/11 terrorist attacks. Why does ABC NEWS(Diane Sawyer) never WHISPER the TRUTH about 9/11? How about Glenn Beck? Bill Oreilly? How about Public Television or Radio? I used to have a Public Television channel in Portland, Oregon. I was talking not only about 9/11 but about the illegal wars, chemtrails, poisons in our food. Do you know what was said about me? I was called “CRAZY” by my peers. I will say this again all media including public TV has been bought off. Public TV is funded by the Federal Government. The employees are paid by the Federal Government so of course they are going to only allow what is told to them. IF you do go against the grain and put the “truth” on TV you will be censored by being put on late night or called “crazy”.
