Dear Editor, September 2023
As Senator Mark Warner addressed the government shutdown issue, it is important to note that other nations are viewing this. Americans must understand the tyranny that causes such dysfunctional actions as nations such as Russia and China are paying strict attention.
Power broker tyranny has spawned neoliberal totalitarianism. This means everyone can use any aspect of governance for his or her specific purposes. On the foreign policy front, it has created this highly aggressive neo-conservatism. On the domestic front, it has enslaved Americans by burdening them with the high costs of healthcare and higher education. Americans have been attornied to abject submission by the outright tyranny and subjectivity of the power brokers who control its governance.
Do Russians and the Chinese have these specific issues? Highly doubtful despite their highly authoritarian governance. Power broker tyranny that ushers in neoliberal totalitarianism is the most perverse form of tyranny. It not only gets people to believe in their illusion of freedom, it makes the populace highly materialistic.
So many people are working long hours and two or three jobs just to buy things that have no utilitarian value. When everything revolves around money, values are altered. It eventually converts governance and society itself into a state of transactionalism. It allows mercenaries and profiteers to ensnare the people into an invisible captivity. It distracts people from focusing on the state of affairs of their families and their governance. People become much more prone to be seduced than enlightened. They tend to turn a blind eye to the dysfunctional and obscene as they rationalize it as normal.
Very Truly Yours,
