In the last issue of The Zephyr, we discussed one of the most amazing stories that I have read in my lifetime, and yet, it has been ignored, if not completely buried, by the media. The revelation that multiple United States intelligence agents circulated a false story to intentionally aid one side in a presidential campaign, which is not only election interference, but wholesale corruption of our American democracy! And, most of us realize that this endemic corruption will eventually destroy the country; it is only a question of “when?”
How can a country with so many checks and balances come to this point? It was a strategic coup. Once all of the major institutions of the country have been either captured or neutralized, an environment of zero accountability shields the powerful from the citizens. And, that is where we are. Scroll down the institutional list: corporations; the media, academia; religious institutions; the military; the CIA; the FBI; the Executive Branch; and the Legislative Branch. Would you trust any of these institutions to treat you justly and fairly, to honor, respect, and protect your values and beliefs?
