Letting the Cat Out of the Bag
Most Citizens around the world continue to attempt to make government,
as we know it, work but the internet is slowly allowing the majority
to unravel and reveal the erroneous and manipulation action of the
few. Some do it for power and privilege, some do it because they are
paid to do it, some do it because, if they don’t, they are either put
in jail or their property is taken from them in some form or fashion
and the others do it because they have been taught to believe,
erroneously, that it’s the honest and patriotic thing to do. That is
surely the mantra for those in power and those paid to be a part of
the necessary racketeering, theft, extortion, corruption and graft
within every political jurisdiction on the planet.
This article points out, that much of what you have been taught about
politics is wrong. All governments are in fact oligarchies; political
leadership by the few. There is no such thing as democratic rule or
dictatorships or the many other deceptive classifications that
government controlled education has attempted to teach us. The only
thing that is different about governments is just how many people, “a
few is”, that are actually in power, who they are and how do they
garner and stay in power. How they maintain their power is pretty much
done in the same way. They lie, cheat, steal and extort money from
some and payoff others in some form or fashion to promote loyalty. Why
do you think that the average Federal Employees makes $72,000 per year
and government contractors are constantly caught over-changing on
their contracts? It can be a job, a government contract or favorable
legislation and if you buck the system you will either be ostracized,
demoted or shipped to the “proverbial Siberia” like the Soviet
communists were so fond of doing to dissenters.
As I have written many times, the redistribution of wealth by theft,
extortion or coercion has worked poorly over the millenniums. Taking
money from those that have justly acquired it and giving it to those
it doesn’t belong to, through forced taxation, has not work very well
for us. How this activity can be viewed as a sound foundation for
civil society is way beyond my comprehension.
Governments around the world have killed their own people by the
millions, the very people they are supposed to be assisting in the
operations of a civil society. Just type in the word “Democide” and
you will get more than you want to read on the subject. When you
compile the data on just how many have been killed by their own
government bureacrats, it becomes apparent that government is not
necessarily created to protect its own citizens. The regimes of
Stalin, Hitler, the Duvalier(s), Idi Amin and Pol Pot are just a few
of the many oligarchies, in just the 20th century, that have mass
murdered their own people. The Christian Crusades, the English and
Salem Witch Hunts and Spanish Inquisition are some of the more
memorable exploits historically conducted by various governments and
there are a number of books and articles about just how many people we
are considering; literally hundreds of millions. We can even go back
to when the Mayans and Incas, when they performed human sacrifices to
please the gods. But really, do you think that those in power were
really worried about what the gods thought. You don’t think that it
really had more to do about staying in power and putting the “fear of
God” in the masses?
The reasons why governments do this, appears to be part of human
nature and when this human characteristic is legally institutionalized
and spread among many, it obviously often gets out of control. Or is
it that human beings are just brutal violent animals that will never
get along in a civil manner?
Government is force as Thomas Jefferson stated and it is surely the
institution that promotes that force. Government can literally
legalize the use of force against those that physical or financially
object to the policies, practices and laws of the governing group.
Historically we have seen that if the government group is really bad,
that country is a really bad place to be living in for most people.
Even in so-called good countries like the U.S. we have the highest
incarceration rate in the world whereas in other so-called good
countries they do not have nearly the percentages of
incarcerations.
God only knows how much money and times is exerted in the quest to
create, alter and enforce the laws of any given country. It is
literally a never ending battle that effects the entire culture. Each
group however it gains power and there are a number of ways it can,
think they know best what the country needs. We believe democracy
creates good governance but history seldom supports that fact and
individuals and various factions manipulate government for their own
self interest rather than what is in the best interest for the
majority. Hitler’s Germany was a democracy and of course those in the
governing group almost always seem to fare much better than those not
in the governing group.
I think my favorite way of how people get into office is by lying.
Even the late great Ronald Reagan promised many times during his
campaign to cut the federal budget. However, his first budget proposal
passed was, you guessed it, higher than his democratic predecessor. Of
course many gave excused that the military was weak after years of
neglect and we just had to spend more money. So if the advocates for
the war machine, who I call the “War Mongers” were right, we either
elected somebody who was poorly educated on our current state of
foreign affairs or he lied. If you do the research, you will find out
that the majority of the money Regan raised was from the benefactors
of the military industrial complex that includes big oil. Go Figure!!!
The only President in my lifetime that appeared to be honest was Jimmy
Carter and his own party shunned him because he told them the truth of
what had to be done, but they wanted none of that.
Vote fraud is another way in which individuals gain political power
and there have been plenty stories throughout history to support this.
But it takes a number of people to commit the various types of voter
fraud that have been caught over the years. My favorite stories are
about when the ballot boxes were missing in key opponent’s districts.
Now we have a President that many are under the impression isn’t
actually legally able to hold the office. Several suits are now
pending with one military Officer refusing to go to Afghanistan until
the President provides the evidence of his eligibility and therefore
his requirement to follow orders from a real Commander and Chief.
You can pretty much know who the favorites are every election cycle,
by seeing whom all the special interest money is going to. What you
can guarantee each election is that those politicians that have
received the most money from special interest will pay out to the
media in advertizing money hundreds of millions of dollars. Why do
you think that the media favors those candidates that have raised the
most money? They are hired to praise the candidate and gun down the
opponent(s).
Can the system be fixed. No, all government are oligarchies and given
police power, there is not one government in the history of the world
that has not abused that power. Government favor some to the
disadvantage of others and the larger government becomes the more
corrupted since a greater level of redistribution of wealth is
required.
A dictatorship is historically defined as “rule by a single
individual” which is just not accurately depicting the true system
behind that one person and the various education systems have just not
provided the truth. There has to be henchman and tax collectors behind
the scenes to protect and carry out the dictates of the oligarchy in
power. There need to be judges and politicians in their realm of
power. It maybe a small group of individuals, but it is never the less
still an oligarchy, as are all governments.
Communist governments are most certainly oligarchies but what about
our favored child “democracy”. All one has to do is search “Why
Democracies Fail” on the web and all the reasons are there. Many
Voters are poorly educated in economics. Many voters vote for their
own best interest rather than what is in the best interest of the
majority. Companies manipulate the system to gain advantage, privilege
and government contracts by monetarily sponsoring candidates for their
own best interest rather than what is in the best interest of the
majority. The forced redistribution of wealth creates more problems
than it solves and is basically forced theft or coercion. And there is
no way that all the people can vote on every issue that comes about in
a government situation. Those are the basic reasons of which there is
not solution. Democracies are a farce perpetrated on ourselves through
ignorance and greed and I’m not telling the world anything new. Our
founding fathers were deathly afraid of democracy and thought that by
having a constitution and bill of rights, that then the Citizens could
protect themselves against the tyranny of government.
Sadly, accept for the abolition of slavery and women’s suffrage almost
all our natural inalienable rights have been usurped by the very
government that was to protect them. The oligarchy has prevailed in
the United States of America just as it has done in every political
system and the democratic republic is just a guise to cover up the
antics of the oligarchy.
Who are the Oligarchy? Many are the prominent people in our society
that are willing to lie and cheat their fellow man for a number of
possible reasons and many are behind the scenes people that you will
never know of. My favorite one is that they are truly so arrogant and
think that they therefore must rule society because the majority is
not smart enough to control their own lives. The internet however is
proof of their narcissism and sociopathic tendencies as people in mass
have let the cat out of the bag.
Our founding fathers were right about the benefits of democracy
through a republican system and attempted to constrain and limit it
through a Bill of Rights. I sadly believe that I do not thing it can
be done.
As soon as you let a political body have police power they will abuse
that power absolutely and history has shown that the oligarchy has
maintained it power in every form of government throughout the ages,
bar none.
