No One Trusts the US Government, Not Even the American People

By Paul Craig Roberts

As many have concluded, the United States is not a democracy. It is an oligarchy ruled by monied private interest groups. An aristocracy has overthrown the people. Democracy is dead. We live in the Oligarchy United Against the People.

Atlantic Bridge, a German front organization set up by Washington to propagandize Germans to serve Washington, has failed in the job. The latest survey conducted by the front group shows that 85% of Germans are alienated from the US. The front group's chairman acknowledged "the great lost of trust in the United States." By a margin of two to one, Germans see China as a more reliable partner for Germany than the US.

Americans have come to the same conclusion about the US government as have Germans. The latest Gallup Poll reveals that Americans regard America's top problem to be the US government. Twice as many respondents regard the US government to be the top problem than regard immigration, and Americans see Washington to be six times the problem that health care is.

As many have concluded, the United States is not a democracy. It is an oligarchy ruled by monied private interest groups.

There has clearly been a revolution in America. An aristocracy has overthrown the people. Democracy is dead. We live in the Oligarchy United Against the People.
