The U.S. is the only country in the world that has been scientifically proven to be a dictatorship instead of a democracy, and on March 28th it will be heading a ‘Democracy’ Summit of other nations that are likewise pretending to be democratic but all of whose attendees will be nations whose regimes likewise are merely pretending to represent their public — or, otherwise, why would they be attending such a summit for ‘democracy’ that is being led by the world’s only nation that has been scientifically proven to be a dictatorship?

There have now been at least three scientific examinations into whether or not the U.S. Government represents the majority of the American people.

The first one found that it does not and that instead it represents only the tiny minority of America’s very wealthiest individuals.

The second one found that this was even more the case than the first such study had demonstrated.

And the third one found that the U.S. Government is 57.16% controlled by the richest one ten-thousandth — the top 1% of the top 1% — of the American population. If any nation was ever an aristocracy instead of a democracy, then post-1945 America is it.

In addition to those scientific studies, there have been international polls which have scientifically been taken simultaneously within dozens of countries in order to be able to rank countries on various commonly used indicators of whether or not a given country is actually a democracy; and in each of those, the U.S. scores as appearing to be less democratic than almost all developed countries are, but as being more democratic than most undeveloped countries are.

In addition, the percentage of a country’s population that is in prison is commonly taken to reflect the extent to which a given nation is a “police state” or otherwise a dictatorship, and on that measure the United States is more of a dictatorship than is any other country in the world: it has a higher percentage of its people being in prison than any other country does. (Furthermore, the percentage of the very rich who are in prison in America is near 0%, and this is what the scientific studies of whether or not the U.S. is a dictatorship would predict, since those studies have shown America to be a dictatorship by only its super-rich. America’s billionaires are above and beyond the law.)

Another common measure of the extent to which a given nation is a dictatorship is the extent to which its Government is effectively controlled by and in service to its military-industrial complex and is dictating to and threatening other Governments around the world. The most extreme model of a dictatorial country is the imperialistic one, because that is an international dictatorship over the vassal-nations (its colonies, or, as a modern empire calls it, ‘allies’) and is therefore a dictatorship that is cancerously spreading internationally. It is on this measure that the U.S. Government has no peer.

Any country that attends a ‘Democracy’ Summit that is led and called by a Government such as this, is thereby displaying itself to be inferior even to that, and is groveling to it, and publicly embarrassing itself. The entire dictatorship, nationally and internationally, is based upon hypocritical lies. In fact, the U.S. dictatorship has trained “around 50,000 at least” of military men from African nations and taught them the U.S. regime’s hypocritical ‘democratic values’ (as “core values”) only in order for those generals to perpetrate coups overthrowing their nation’s Government (sometimes authentically democratic ones) in order to turn their countries into new ‘allies’ of ‘the democratic West’ and purchasers of weapons from Lockheed Martin etc., and so to pocket for themselves enormous private wealth.

Two nations were disinvited by the U.S. regime to attend the U.S. regime’s ‘Democracy’ Summit: Hungary and Turkiye. Here is why. Since both of them are NATO members, each of them now holds veto-power over what the U.S. dictatorship’s NATO military alliance against Russia does. The dream by the U.S. dictatorship ever since 25 July 1945 has been to conquer the entire world; and, now, for the first time, two of America’s ‘allies’ are giving serious indications that they might resist and possibly even block that from happening.

There is increasing resistance to the only remaining empire, which is scattered about the world: the U.S. empire. The U.S. regime’s response thus far, to this resistance, has been to increase yet further its campaigns demonizing and to capture ultimately both Russia and China. It is driving the world into an enormous economic crash if a nuclear World War III won’t break out before that happens. Things appear to be reaching a breaking-point, either way.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s new book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public. He is a regular contributor to Global Research.
