squishy Always keep in mind that what you see and what you are told is not necessarily true or even partially true.
Modern democracy, as we know it, is only about 250 years old. For most of history, except for this brief period, the world has been ruled by powerful elites. Globalists control politicians, the courts, the educational institutions, the food, natural resources, foreign policies, economies and the money of most nations. And they control the major media, which is why too many times people cannot join up the dots and make sense of why an event occurs.
Not a general manager, squishy, but self-serving senior politicians who are in thrall - either thru ideology or greed - to a covert move towards an expanding federal europe governed essentially by corporations via the EU; but far more than that which I wont go into here. Ditto in North America.
We are on a precipice; we can either go towards a totalitarian way of life by voting to remain (UK) and voting for the old order (Clinton, Bush, Ford, Obama). It's irrelevant whether they are Democrats because the white hat of the Good Guy isnt fooling anyone anymore. They have colluded for far too long with foreign interests and those who want to enslave America (and Europe).
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has said, “the ultimate aim is to weaken Europe and change its way of life, to weaken independent sovereign nations and make them part of a supranational union. National identity and independence needs to be weakened for that and divide and rule is a part of the destabilisation process."
I think the main reason you are not seeing what Claig is saying is because you havent grasped the treachery. American and European politicians are slowly trying to change our ways of life as we know it, to mould it to a vision in which "government" is merely a mouthpiece for the global elite to do big business.
