Is Western Democracy Real or a Facade?

[Tartar Horde]

Democracy is a magnificent deception, it makes the population believe they are participating in "their" government. It makes no difference who we/you vote for as the true power behind the curtains, the career civil servants and banking organisations control the country. Politicians come and go, but the machine of government continues to pull the strings behind the scenes.
The democratic process was invented by the very same people who urge your participation in it, you have to follow the rules of the game or you do not have a voice. The very act of voting gives your "consent" and legitimacy to the process, this is why they castigate those who do not vote. TPTB understand that by withdrawing your consent to be represented by people you have no faith in undermines their power.
