In Brief
- The Facts:Tulsi Gabbard, a United States Congresswoman, Army National Guard Major, and 2020 presidential candidate, filed a defamation lawsuit against Hillary Rodham Clinton for her defamatory remarks.
- Reflect On:Is
the political system broken? Can we keep voting and using the same
system hoping for
change? Does politics, and voting, take power out of our own hands and put it in the hands of a small group of people?
There
are a few Great quotes that instantly come to mind everytime the
thought of politics enters my head, one of them comes from Edward
Bernays, “the father of public relations” from his book, Propaganda, 1928. If you’ve read some of my articles you have probably come across it before,
The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of.
To me, this is what modern day politics,
for the most part, represents. It’s a game where, whoever is elected,
or rather selected as some would argue, seems to insult and expose their
competition in as many ways as possible, while simultaneously making
moves and making statements that accumulate more loyal followers, and
voters. It is the complete opposite of doing what our leaders should be
doing, working together while at the same time being completely
transparent. Furthermore, the upper echelon of the political game only
seems to feature powerful people, with close ties and connections to
people above them who have accumulated even more wealth and power. Many
presidents over the years only seem to follow the will of their masters,
who are comprised of the corporate and financial elite.
Another great quote that comes to mind I like to use often,
Political parties exist to secure responsible government and to execute the will of the people. From these great staffs, both of the old parties have ganged aside. Instead of instruments to promote the general welfare they have become the tools of corrupt interests which use them in martialling [sic] to serve their selfish purposes. Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of the day. – Theodore Roosevelt (source)
This ‘invisible’ government has been
referred to by many over the years. In the modern day, some called it
“the deep state” and believe it’s made up of mainstream media,
and many other corporations and institutions that greatly influence US
elections, foreign policy as well as the decisions that are supposedly
made by the president of the United States. This is why we see people
connected to great power always take the presidency. It’s no secret that
politics is full of corruption, not to mention entrapment, blackmail,
pedophilia (as exposed more within the mainstream with regards to the
Jeffrey Epstein case), and much more.

But every now and then, a pure soul
seems to emerge garnering the attention of many. And when they do, ‘the
establishment’ completely ignores them, belittles them, and falsely
accuses them in an attempt to shift the perception of the character in
question within the minds of the masses. It’s as if, from the very
beginning, they have no chance to win because it’s so unfair, and so
much is pitted against them.
This is exactly why veteran and
presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard is experiencing this type of thing.
Gabbard first caught my attention when she introduced the Stop Arming Terrorists Act
(H.R.608) which would have stopped, or attempted to stop the U.S.
government from using taxpayer dollars to directly or indirectly support
groups who are allied with and supporting terrorist groups like ISIS
and al Qaeda in their war to overthrow the Syrian government. The
legislation is based on congressional action during the Iran-Contra
affair to stop the CIA’s illegal arming of rebels in Nicaragua. It
is endorsed by Progressive Democrats of America, the U.S. Peace Council,
and Veterans For Peace.
She has long been creating awareness on issues of how this ‘establishment works.’ Here’s one of her latest re-tweets.
She spoke and speaks a lot of truth, she
is a supporter of people like Julian Assange and Edward Snowden, and an
advocate for peace and has the desire to end corrupt wars, and much
more. Clearly, she’s a big threat to the establishment that seems to
control and has controlled the presidency for a long time.

This is why her persona has been ‘bashed’ by establishment owned mainstream media,
and the powerful Hillary Clinton, who has labelled Gabbard as a Russian
asset, among many other things, which in Turn is why Gabbard has filed a
lawsuit against Clinton for defamation of character.
They have a bunch of sites and bots and other ways of supporting her so far. And that’s assuming Jill Stein will give it up, which she might not because she’s also a Russian asset. Yeah, she’s a Russian asset (Tulsi), I mean, totally. – Clinton (source)
According to he NY Post:
She filed her $50 million defamation lawsuit against Hillary Clinton to hold the former secretary of state “accountable” for her alleged smears.Tulsi’s website states:
Washington, DC – Tulsi Gabbard, a United States Congresswoman, Army National Guard Major, and 2020 presidential candidate, today filed a defamation lawsuit against Hillary Rodham Clinton. Gabbard, a U.S. Representative for Hawaii’s 2nd congressional district, asserts in her complaint that Clinton deliberately and maliciously made false statements in an attempt to derail Rep. Gabbard’s campaign, by alleging that Gabbard is a “Russian asset.” The complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York by Brian Dunne and Dan Terzian, Rep. Gabbard’s legal counsel and partners at Pierce Bainbridge Beck Price & Hecht LLP.Clinton was the 2016 Democratic Party nominee for President of the United States, United States Secretary of State from 2009 until 2013, a United States Senator for the State of New York from 2001 to 2009, and the First Lady of the United States from 1993 to 2001. On October 17, 2019, she publicly stated in an interview that “somebody who is currently in the Democratic primary … [is a] favorite of the Russians… Yeah, she’s a Russian asset.” The press extensively republished and disseminated these statements, which were interpreted widely as Clinton asserting that Gabbard is a Russian asset.The complaint seeks compensatory damages and an injunction prohibiting the further publication of Clinton’s defamatory statements.The case is Tulsi Gabbard and Tulsi Now, Inc. v. Hillary Rodham Clinton. A copy of the full complaint is available here.
The Takeaway
I often wonder why humanity keeps
playing with a system that’s completely corrupt and broken. Our
‘leaders’ don’t seem to have humanity and planet Earth in mind when it
comes to making their decisions. Today, the system is a representation
of greed, fear, ego, profit, and much more, but one thing is for sure,
it’s far from serving the people and other beings that reside on our
planet. We need leaders that truly care about our environment, the
people, preservation, life, and abundance for all. What we really need
is a complete collapse of the current system we are playing with, and to
implement something far greater that is more in line with the current
level of human consciousness, and something that is more representative
of our collective human potential. And most of all, we need to stop
pointing fingers and blaming political figures for our problem because
at the end of the day, on the deepest of levels, we are simply allowing
it to happen. Politics doesn’t help as it makes us feel the power to
change things is out of our hands, in in ‘theirs.’
One thing seems to be quite clear, people are tired of politics and it is no longer serving humanity. It’s useless and pointless, and is counterintuitive. It’s no longer serving the collective, and it’s quite questionable whether it ever has.You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete – Buckminister Fuller (L. Steven Sieden, A Fuller View – Buckminster Fuller´s Vision of Hope and Abundance for all“, p. 358), Divine Arts Media (2011)
