At this point, what difference does it make? It was a true statement from hildawg then, and it is true now. Everyone that can think for themselves at all knows our government is corrupt. That means nothing without the power to do something about it.
People who subdue the masses with false hope are on the same level as psychic mediums who make money off of grieving family members by pretending to talk to their dead relatives.
Sorry, the average American has an IQ of 100, and such low test that they think praying will make them free. The people are cows. They are. It sucks for the few of us who are not retards and would like to be free, but for 95% of the public, the elite are right. The people are livestock who want to be managed and they do not deserve freedom, health, or prosperity. This is why the founders only allowed white male landowners to vote. Everyone else will always give up their autonomy for more security and more gibs.
