Yes it's incremental and yes Washington DC has promoted Marxism. But if you think that the power of politicians trumps the power of information control, think about this;
Let's say you are a politician in Washington DC. You strove to that position because you value social position above everything. Who are your supervisors? Do you think the American public is your supervisor? They hear practically nothing about you that isn't filtered through the hands of the information controllers. If you have a weakness of any kind, be it sex, greed, past history, gambling you name it, they will find it and when they do they own you. And even if you have no such weakness, they will praise politicians you run against and declare them front runners and ridicule everything you say. They have the power of suggestion, the power of scrutiny, the power of omission, the power of censorship and the power of smear. It may not give them 100% control, but they have everything slanted in their favor 24 hours a day 365 days a year.
So who really supervises politicians? Who controls America?
