Congress Hits New Low: Only 7% Have Confidence In The Institution!
[link to onpolitics.usatoday.com]

Americans have confidence in the military, small business and the police. Congress? Not so much, a new Gallup Poll says.

A record-low 7% of Americans say they have “a great deal” and “quite a lot” of confidence in Congress — the lowest-rated institution among the 17 entities tested in Gallup’s confidence survey. [link to www.gallup.com] Public schools, banks, newspapers and television news all rate higher than the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate.

The military is at the top end of the scale, with 74% of Americans saying they have faith in that institution, followed by small business (62%) and the police (53%). No other institution in business, government or society that was tested garnered at least a majority in the poll.

"With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things." William Wordsworth

And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe—the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God.

John F. Kennedy Inaugural Address

Lincoln's economic advisor Henry C. Carey explained the universal issue in his 1851 Harmony of Interests:

"Two systems are before the world.... One looks to pauperism, ignorance, depopulation, and barbarism; the other to increasing wealth, comfort, intelligence, combination of action, and civilization. One looks towards universal war; the other towards universal peace. One is the English system; the other ... the American system, for ... elevating while equalizing the condition of man throughout the world."

One definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. With so many politicians getting popularly re-elected to "serve" for 20, 30, and even 40 years running, the 7% confidence rating only means that the general population is schizophrenically insane.
"God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787

And of course the paid advisers are telling the republicans that the reason the poll numbers are so low is because the republicans aren't working with barry enough!!

At some point, it should trigger automatic "go home" papers and the people who ran against them in the previous election should be put in.

This is absolutely ridiculous they are able to still get all their perks and we have to wait for next election.

They should be booted to the curb. Term limits!

So, maybe they should be doing more of what Barry is doing. It's not like they are doing anything right now, anyway.

This is a sign people are fed up, that the 50/50 "polls" on news (propaganda) channels is complete and utter bullshit.

No one buys the governments agenda anymore, that's why they couldn't sell the war in Syria. It's why voting among the youth has reach an all time low.

I tell you now that it is only because we are comfortable that things remain the way they are. I swear on my life that the day ONE element of common society (ie water, food, electricity, gas) fails that revolution will come. Remember this and wait, we are leaning forward into the abyss as we speak.

Because the real United States government is dead. What we have is a corporatized entity selling itself as the "United States of America". That's why votes don't matter, politicians matter and why you as a citizen are irrelevant.

Approval could be in the negatives, but approval doesn't matter when you do not need consent to rule.

7% really? That high? I'd believe it when it reaches zero point. Because the Overlords, the Watchers, the Archons, whoever is the AI running this world, has failed miserably. They stacked the deck. They had more intelligence and technology than mankind and they abused their prisoners obscenely.

Therefore, I'm surprised if there remains 7% who have faith in the systems of this world.

My faith is in Jesus' words of love, peace, forgiveness and TRUTH.

The only way for this world to become a better place is for the truth to come to it. It cannot find the truth through the lies.

Hence, I pray a most fervent prayer that Jesus bring His judgment to this world and please don't delay Lord.
