Democracy for Dummies

Remember to vote, it is easy. You can elect to stay home to perform your democratic duty. Each vote and more goes to the machine for tallying by the man behind the curtain.

Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority; still, more when you superadd the tendency of the certainty of corruption by authority.
Lord Acton

Foreword

This essay centers on the social contract we know as “democracy.” The word democracy comes from the Greek words “demos,” meaning people, and “kratos” meaning power. Thus, democracy can be the “power of the people,” or a way of governing that depends on the people’s will. As detailed in this essay, the word democracy is a cover story or much more lurking behind the Wizzard’s curtain. As we shall see later, Dorthy and Toto know what is behind that dopey democratic curtain. It is a huge lie, a massive mountain of manure.

The major printed inspiration for this essay is the remarkable book The Trouble With Democracy by Willaim D. Gairdner.

First Stop, Welfare State

An unstoppable nuclear reaction best describes the corrupt nature of the secular welfare state. In most of the Western world, this is a reactive entity we visualize as “modern democracy” or hyper-democracy. It is a pseudo-religious theocratic government where a psychopath elite rules the intentionally dumbed-down masses. Thus, “dumbocracy” is even more appropriate to describe this horrendous fusion of government and society.

Under the guise of “social justice” (new Communism), the main feature of this “New Age of the Order” is an anti-Christian paradox. Within the mind meld propaganda touted as fact, the “system” claims the priority of rights and the individual are above society and community. At the same time, the system’s narrative bellows the mantra that humanity is “one collective.”

Second Stop, New Age Boro

While repulsive to postmodern secularists, religion has everything to do with hyper-democracy. The roots of this massive lie begin with Gnosticism, an ancient heresy. The Gnostics abandoned orthodox Christianity favoring the belief that God created the world, nothing more and nothing less. Gnosticism evolved into the Enlightenment belief known as Deism.

The Gnostic-Deist mentality maintains that organized religion, particularly orthodox Christianity, is a spiritual, oppressive delusion. A modern offshoot of the Gnostic-Deist mentality is Millenarianism (also millenarism), from the Latin mīllēnārius “containing a thousand.” That is the belief by a religious, social, or political group or movement in a coming fundamental transformation of society, after which all things shall change. Millenarianism exists worldwide in various cultures and religions, with multiple interpretations of what constitutes transformation.

According to many in the Millenarianism movement and their Gnostic-Deist predecessors, Christ came to liberate, not impose external worship methods. Others in the same overarching anti-orthodox Christianity movement (past and present) reject God in the flesh on earth as a divine person, Jesus. With an enduring and loving nod to the distinguished Classical Jewish faith, it has the same core belief about God’s creation of reality but without Jesus as a divine person. Millenarians, who embrace democracy, believe that the “Dawn of a New Age” is at hand. It’s the Age of Aquarius.

That might occur through divine intervention preached by radical mystics like Joachim of Fiore during the Middle Ages. Alternatively, it might be through historical processes and human interactions. The interactive systems include Marxism, Socialism, Communism, Nazism, Hyper-Democracy, etc. Or, as prevalent today, it is a terrible unstoppable fusion of one or more of these crummy geopolitical systems.

Third Stop, Philosopadelphia

The most influential and opposing historical personalities behind the democracy delusion are Jean Jacques Rousseau of eighteenth-century France (the collectivist/statist aspect) and John Stuart Mill of nineteenth-century Britain (the individualist aspect).

• Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778). Rousseau was a Genevan philosopher, writer, and composer. His political philosophy influenced the Enlightenment’s progress throughout Europe, aspects of the French Revolution, and the development of modern political, economic, and educational thought. Rousseau was an intriguing person. His life reads like a novel and is worthy of added study. According to some scholars, despite similarities between their ideas, Rousseau exercised minimal influence on the United States Founding Fathers. Some took Rousseau’s philosophy to the extreme or out of context. For example, during the Reign of Terror (French Revolution), Robespierre and Jacobin member Saint-Just (a.k.a. Angel of Death) regarded themselves as “egalitarian republicans.” Inspired most prominently by Rousseau, they fought to end indulgences. Rousseau is the grandfather of educational indoctrination. He birthed the idea that students should be self-motivated, but at the same time, teachers should manipulate what stimulates the pupils. 

• John Stuart Mill (1806-1873). Mill was an English philosopher, political economist, Member of Parliament (MP), and civil servant. One of the most influential thinkers in the history of classical liberalism, he contributed widely to social theory, political theory, and political economy. Dubbed “the most influential English-speaking philosopher of the nineteenth century,” he conceived liberty as justifying the individual's freedom in opposition to unlimited state and social control. Mill was a proponent of utilitarianism, an ethical theory developed by his predecessor Jeremy Bentham. He contributed to the investigation of scientific methodology. However, his knowledge of the topic came from the writings of others, notably William Whewell, John Herschel, and Auguste Comte, and research carried out for Mill by Alexander Bain.

Many more figures from history play a role in our demented discourse. Please see the Frederick R. Smith Speaks essay Madness Made to Order - Part Two about the Philosophical Lineage for a historical review focused on the “Age of Enlightenment” and the quest for Utopia. While history teaches us that the search for a utopia starts with the beginning of an organized society, there is more to the story. Specifically, as a part of our fallen nature, collectivism fully manifested as a modern root as far back as the early 1700s and blooming in 1776. That year (1776), Bavaria (not the USA) saw the coalescence of the idea that later formed the various collective “isims” (e.g., Communism, Marxism, Nazism, and Fascism).

Drop Off Only, Downtown Dopey Democracy

Under a virtuous society with morals and principles, democracy can be a viable contract between citizens and rulers. However, the fundamental problem with democracy is that it does not consider humanity’s fallen, sinful nature forcing it to adopt totalitarian measures to enforce its ideological presuppositions on the populace. Like many other worldly issues, democracy is subject to various pitfalls. The democracy of Western countries is the grip of two distinct dangers or pitfalls.

1. Collective democracy, or the rule of the General Will, was pioneered by Rousseau and taken to its inevitable end, totalitarianism, in the 20th century by Fascism and Communism.

2. Ultimate individualism, as developed by Mill in “On Liberty” and in our time, is taken to an extreme “hyper-democracy.” That is another face of relativism that is currently falling into disrepute.

The decline of civil society over the 20th century is an apparent reality to those not under the spell of the government-media industrial complex. The fall was not so much a result of advancing technology or the natural evolution of society as it was a necessary precursor to promoting collective democracy and hyper-democracy.

Many of the United States Founding Fathers were of deist inclination, but with classical solid education and study, they realized the dangers of democracy. Through genuine compromise, they forged a Constitution enshrining a republic to counterbalance democracy. Sadly, with hyper corruption, our Constitution is a dead letter overtaken by the enshrined and worshiped social religion called democracy.

Flag-Stop, Crisis City

History is a gradual process of declining spirituality and “progressive materialization.” At the last phase of the human cycle (or the darkest of the Dark Ages), humanity shall witness the abundance of material prosperity. But that coincides with spiritually impoverished and decoupling from true intellectuality and truth itself.

Today, this decline is especially evident in philosophy and science. Philosophy - love of wisdom - became wisdom unto itself. The science of nature became one that deals with only a portion of the natural world. Meaningful truths transcend the domain of matter, and the world of sensible experience now finds comfort in bare facts deprived of transcending truths. Postmodern people feel alienated from the world and each other. Modern science, now an arrogant worldview, performs fiat notions of experiments as a front for power over ordinary people.

Ancient sciences, bound to metaphysical principles, evolved from the world’s great religions. All made possible by the eminently religious and theocentric character of society. For such wise early people, truth for them is one, just as God is One. Contradictions only appear at the surface, so specialization eventually leads to the convergence of various disciplines. Thus, the ancients were adept at simultaneously mastering several branches of knowledge. 

The postmodern world detests classical or orthodox religion. It embraces the pseudo-religion called the New Age. The remnant of the great religions, devoid of their most fundamental understanding of the supernatural, find themselves to be a full partner with the postmodern ethos. Thus, with certainty denied, many fiat notions of truth flourish. That has led us to the world today so flush with relativism and nihilism.

Relativism is the logical outcome of rationalism. It is the natural result of humanism and individualism, which of course, is the cause of the present decline of society. Rather than raising man to seek truth, rationalism drags thoughts down to the purely relative. The notion that nothing else exists but matter and its derivatives fuels strife and conflict. This caustic worldview manifests itself in the social sphere in the following disciplines:

• Separation of religion from the state

• Triumph of mediocrity over the wise (democracy)

• Mass “education” that compromises the uniqueness of each individual

• Rise of the cult of originality in the intellectual domain, whereby it is better to create a new error than repeat an old truth

• Neglect of spirituality, thus the loss of unity.

We know materialism couples with Western domination. The East has been traditionally religious, but in the face of material challenge and encroachment by the modern West, it adopted a materialistic worldview.

Final Stop, New Normal National City

As demonstrated above, our problems are nothing new, but in the past few years, the struggle between self-reliance and dependency clashed in a frightening display of crass nihilism. The George Floyd incident invigorated the government-media complex to birth its new and quintessential social control and divide mechanism. Coupled with abuse of power under unconstitutional health mandates (COVID), the psychopath leaders and their puppets find solstice in mind self-gratification, pushing their mental poison. Dumbocracy at its finest.

Today, the social ethos is a collectivist cauldron fueled by endless fiat currency and a deposit of hatred. With “trust” in the government, most people cowered to health mandates that undoubtedly resulted in more casualties than the actual disease. But it is all an illusion packed with a false narrative that attempts to enslave those of us who can see through the fog.

Virtually every element of society, from the government (all levels), military, education, organized religious corporations, and medical, suffer from a particularly virulent disease. It is known as the woke enlightenment. Those refusing to bend their knee to this ugly entity face the wrath of those who preach about equity. For example, medical professionals lose their licenses, employees get the boot, and people face healthcare rejection for not partaking in Messenger RNA (mRNA) clot-forming murderous liquid injections. The mRNA liquid death is an official self-sacrificial sacrament of the democracy religion. It is for the common good of our democracy.

While power/control may be the most visible element of this mass insanity, money is the core issue. With the creation of a gross quantity of fiat currency, the power spreads high and wide. If we had real money backed with a commodity of intrinsic value, we wouldn’t see some of the most digesting things possible “normalized.” Putting it all together, we live in a modern form of the Caligula regime. Highly “educated” people have trouble defining a woman, and anybody at a whim can change “gender.” In a nightmare reality, the government, propped up by the medical industry, performs sex reassignment surgeries and practices chemical castration therapies on pre-teens. The democracy machine places the classical family under the bus.

Abortion has a cult-like following, as the unborn future citizens become property like that of the old enslavers for their disposal. Love of the country gets targeted as xenophobia. Natural diversity gets tossed aside by the false notion of Diversity-Inclusion-Equity. That conforms to the democracy DIE culture of death.

The woke ecosystem (dumbocracy) demands those who had nothing to do with oppression (e.g., non-woke white people) in the past to admit they are the new oppressors. This new form of bigotry is the government’s official policy, along with woke business partners. That is the quintessential example of public-private partnerships (the actual definition of Fascism). For a particularly enlightening example, the uber left and caustic movement called Antifa physically protects woke parents who wish to take their toddlers to pornography displays under the pretext of drag queen shows. In concert with Antifa, the rest of the malfunctioning woke folk act like Pavlov’s Dog. The democracy dog whistle is the signal to bark out the word they have no idea what it means: “Fascism.”

You are a “fascist pig” for trying to protect children from potential pedophiles in Tinker Bell dresses for drag shows or for expressing concern over doctors who medically change the sex of a youngster.

Hundreds of pregnancy centers and churches get firebombed and vandalized, with the federal law enforcement organs doing nothing and the legacy media saying virtually nothing. Likewise, legacy media, nasty neo-cons, and collectivists ignore 18 deaths and nearly $2 billion (and counting) in damage committed by Antifa in partnership with Burn-Loot-Mayhem. For the height of insult, the “Justice” system directs leaders not to prosecute the inflammable collectivists. Meanwhile, the full force of the “law” shall be laser-focused on non-WOKE folk for harmless indiscretions. The punishment includes incarceration as democratic political prisoners under the torture of solitary confinement.

In this New Normal County of insanity, depictions of sex acts appear on Tell-U-Vision. Every type of sex appears on the internet uncensored. Discussion and videos of the conjugal act overtake more essential matters. For example, New York Times (Gray Lady) has this online article: Half the World Has a Clitoris. Why Don’t Doctors Study It?

If doctors treat the vulva as an under-appreciated city, they see the clitoris as a local roadside bar: little known, seldom considered, probably best avoided. ‘It's completely ignored by pretty much everyone,’ a sexual health specialist said.

With that morsel in mind, anyone writing about alternate COVID therapies faces censorship from the mental giants with pea brains. To expose the proven side effects of the liquid death shot is the new pornography worthy of censorship and revoking doctors’ licenses. Meanwhile, people publicly sodomizing each other is democracy in action.

So what is driving this sexual insanity in the United States of Dumocracy? School Board members on board the gravy train. They get their ticket through a democratic election process. In partnership with a corrupt union mob of so-called “teachers,” they get to use billions of your democratically made money to teach K-12 every type of sex act and, at the same time, push gender affirmation (confusion). Dare a concerned parent read the material from a kiddy porn “education” book at a school board meeting, and look out! For reading such Statnaic insanity from the stool (sic) library, Mom and Dad will end up on a democratic FBI domestic terrorist watch list.

Meanwhile, our democratically elected Democrat president Joe Biden says “it’s wrong” for states to ban sex reassignment surgery and puberty blockers for kids.

What is going on behind the Dumbocracy Wizard’s curtain? Ask Toto and Dorothy because they are not stupid and not brainwashed by college-level “education.” They smartly know it is all about democratic population reduction and control of the peoples.

Remember to vote, it is easy. You can elect to stay home to perform your democratic duty. Each vote and more goes to the machine for tallying by the man behind the curtain. It is for the common good of democracy. And there is plenty of swamp land for sale in Texas.

Afterword

This democracy thing is the new Tower of Babble. The good news concerns the fuel firing this runaway steam locomote. That fuel is fiat money made by democracy, which will burn up until exhausted, thus derailing the power train of the psychopaths and their woke power puppet sub-leaders. The bad news: it will be a very bumpy ride. Don’t Get Ready, be Ready.
