Faux Conventions and Politicians: VOTB
Sarah knows a good way to score in basketball is to use fakes. Politicians have known for centuries that a good way to get elected is to fake out the public about themselves and their ideas. These past two “faux conventions” can be illustrated by a little girl asking her mommy, do all fairy tales begin with “once upon a time?” The wise mom answers, no. Some fairy tales begin with “When elected, I promise…..”
The politicians use conventions to say “when elected, I promise….” Truth be known, conventions are political plays that run off Broadway for four days. On or off Broadway, a four-day play is called a flop. In the world of politics, these four-day plays are part of the faux buy-in process staged for the American citizens. Politicians want to give the impression that their fairy tales have massive public buy-in.
Buy-in is a simple trick used in education by principals to install a controversial idea in their school. The technique involves the principal getting a few kiss-up teachers in favor of their idea. These teachers circulate among the staff pushing the idea’s “talking points”. Committees are formed headed by these kiss-ups. In committee the idea is bantered about. The final version is close to the original. The idea is voted upon at some large meeting and passes. The principal has faked out the teachers. They have bought into the principal’s idea.
In the political process, the ‘principals’ calling the shots are the influential and rich with wealthy puppeteers pulling their strings and nodding approval. The wealthy distribute money to expand their financial base and to bribe for idea approval among the rich. The influential and rich in turn bribe the political kiss-ups to show approval for political ideas that eventually help them and wealthy make more money.
For the Republicans, McCain “the hawk, philander, traitor” is supported by the military industrial complex while the wealthy are getting the North American Union (NAU) idea solidly entrenched. Sarah, the hawk’s “barracuda”, governs a sanctuary state for illegal immigrants. While she might attack corruption, she wouldn’t fight against illegal immigration. We know McCain is for amnesty and so are the wealthy. The flood of illegal immigration enhances NAU plausibility.
For the Democrats, Obama “the social worker” wants to help everyone. The people that support him have communist’s leanings. These are pointing the U.S. into feudalism. They want to help people while increasing control over them. This makes collecting taxes easier for the wealthy in the form of buying down the national debt. Obama is in favor of raising taxes to buy down the national debt.
Obama’s running mate, Biden, is chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee of Foreign Relations. Biden’s range of influence includes arms sales for national allies (helps the military industrial complex) to important international treaties and legislation (NAFTA for the NAU). NAFTA contains the “North American Agreement on Labor Cooperation (NAALC)” which is one of the reasons why we have uncontrolled illegal immigration. “It supplements NAFTA and endeavors to create a foundation for cooperation among the three countries for the resolution of labor problems as well as to promote greater cooperation among trade unions and social organizations in order to fight for improved labor conditions.”

All that means is if there’s no work in Mexico go to the U.S. or Canada, illegally. We’ll fix the illegally part soon!
The political conventions are attended by the kiss-ups thinking they are choosing a presidential candidate. In reality, they are kissing up to the party leaders (controlled by money) and at the same time giving television audiences a faux buy-in illusion. Conventions are bad Broadway plays on steroids.
“When elected, I promise…..” after elected is followed with “but I can’t now because…..” Faux conventions with faux politicians and faux promises are just another reason to vote out the bums (VOTB). Let the politicians have their four-day plays. Then let them know that even Sarah can’t fake us out. Vote out every incumbent, every election.
If no incumbent is running, look for the candidate with the least amount of money. Chances are s/he will match the way they govern with their core beliefs. They won’t (at least initially) be faux.
