Been in Government Lobbying for Three Decades. Retiring. Let me tell you a SECRET. As a "soon to be" former government lobbyist, I have seen the truth about the corruption in the world's government. The politicians you see on TV (Trump, Biden, Bush, Obama, DeSantis, all of them) are not chosen by you, the voters. They are handpicked by powerful people and special interest groups who have their own agendas. This occurs mainly with money, and controlled media. The truth is that there are no heroes in this system. The politicians who rise to power are the ones who play along with the system, not those who stand up for the people. I am not saying the vote is not often legitimate, rather I am saying people are easily manipulated, and marketed to. The powers that be know how to get you to vote how they wish. You have seen it in fashion, branding... it's no different in politics. It is a carefully crafted narrative meant to give you an illusion of choice.

Both sides of the political spectrum in our world work hand in hand. They may appear to have different views, but they are ultimately controlled by the same interests. The illusion of choice is what keeps you believing in this system, but the truth is that the parties themselves are structured to ensure only those who play along get promoted. Every now and then, a wildcard is allowed, but even then, that is part of the well orchestrated plan. Good narratives need "surprises" right?

The system is rigged, and you are all playing your part in it. If you want to change the structure of your government, you have to stop falling for it all. You have to stop voting for the same old parties and the same old politicians who are just puppets on a string.

The truth is the person you like most in politics, or someone you felt great about voting for, or someone you think is "fighting the system", is not "the good guy". From your most conservative governors to your most liberal mayors of major cities.. they are one in the same.

I know this is hard to accept. I have seen the most evangelical of southern Governors screw over their base more times than not for corporate interests. Likewise, I have seen the most liberal of Democrats shirk promises of "criminal justice reform" and "equity" over a couple of commas in a check.

When it comes time for elections, they need lots of money... they need lots of PR... they need the massive donor mechanisms... the war dialing... they need the constructive complex narrative of opposition... and ALL of it is controlled by just a handful of companies.

The game is rigged and no matter how smart or right you think you are... you are almost always deceived. There may be 5% of the electorate that actually sees it. Chances are, if you typically vote for one of the major party candidates at any significant level, you are not one of those 5%.

If you want to actually affect change, you have to vote for the little guys, the independents, the third-party candidates who have a real chance to make a difference... truth is though this will probably never happen. You all are at a broken red light and fail to move until you see someone else go... problem is... no one goes.

You don't have a country, you have a corporation. You are not citizens, you are a product.

Sincerely,

A "Soon to Be" Former Government Lobbyist.
