All the spotlight. But politics has inevitable bitter ends. Nearly every single politician will wear off. Unpopular decisions, bad economy, events caused by powers untouched by the very politicians. My readers know that political trio consists of the face (the politician), mover-and-shaker (the brain) and crook (stealing funds). You cannot, with all of the things happening due to this dynamic, leave with your newly gained reputation intact.
The shadow groups
When starting, you must be backed by some powerful groups (Big Banks, super-rich families or secret services), which is often preceded by political machines (the Chicago one produced Barack Obama).
The issue is that the groups which support you have enemies or some of all of the groups are in hostile constellations. So you take a step that goes against two enemy groups and backlash happens inside a wing of your party, while the media goes against you and the step harms people but you must do it because of your interest group.
What is the goal of politics?
It is to put the right people into the right positions or change their opinions? By what? By force.
A politician is living in a constellation where one step reshapes the entire constellation.
The politician must consolidate power and then, of course influenced by the entire constellation, decide what he or she will use it for? Own power, or common good?
Politicians like Charles de Gaulle, Margaret Thatcher, even though we may not agree with them politically, managed to crush their enemies and did what they though was right with their great power.
Caring what people think? You would have to be a nut!
As a politician is going through the constellation, he or she takes a step detrimental to people, but also he may try to damage interest groups so he can gain political capital.
So people go crazy everywhere. And the politician? If he cared, he would end up in a mental asylum
Is it worth going into politics? Not a part of corruption schema? Your end!
In high politics, you are put around an unbelievable amount of money and resources. And your crook wants to steal it. The interest groups not only pay you, allow you to have highly paid lectures in retirement, and finally – they give you connections so you will be a lobbyist or have a highly paid job.
But back to stealing directly from funds. Your mover-and-shaker and crook will give you money from a stolen public contract. And you are obliged to have your mouth shut.
Politicians: Sudden change of opinions or policies? It is politics
Your shadow groups want to win with you again and marketing experts tell you this and that. Well, you change opinions or policies.
Trying to change your interest groups? Changing policies or opinions is must-have.
Some top lobbyists guiding you through the highest political circles
Top-level politics is the place where web of Big Banks, super-rich families and secret services (whose heads are placed by Big Banks and that own shares in Big Banks) meet.
There are thousands of patron-client networks generating the whole political process, usually leaving very little to do for an average politician.
Too smart? Sorry, we don’t want you
One of the things that discourages people from going into politics nowadays is that the shadow forces don’t want a clever politician. They want a brainless puppet.
So you may pretend you are stupid, but how can you get higher in the political ladder? Only if you are lucky.
Too much power for the groups, a lot of compromising material and scandals
Current shadow groups gained such an influence that being a politician is far more than a tough job. This is a deterrent to normal people not going into politics.
Politicians always have been puppets but not to this degree.
Since we know that they conduct espionage on a massive scale, they have tons of compromising material on a particular politician.
Also, in this new age, the declining political culture makes more scandals and few people want to have their own personal reputation ruined because of politics.
Is it worth going into politics? Conclusion
Only a few people choose to go into politics as politicians never have been greater puppets. Much media scrutiny, compromising material, insisting on choosing politicians who are not smart and greater chance of being caught by law enforcement in political scandals since police has gotten more approval from the super-rich groups. So is it worth going into politics?
