thewashingtonstandard--2020-07-07--Banned Video:  Get Ready For The Great Reset

YouTube has put the pedal to the metal and is banning anything that doesn ’ t align with the New World Order and the agenda of slavery .
They don ’ t want you to know that the Great Reset is further enslavement to the system and they definitely don ’ t want you to prepare by exiting the current system .
There will be a new one-world digital centralized currency .
It will be owned by the elites and your transactions will be monitored and controlled by a very few other people .
They will take what they want @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they see fit and this will happen .
But there are ways to prepare for it .
You ’ ve got to think outside the box and understand what ’ s really happening though .
In a video banned by YouTube , Max Igan describes how horrific the Great Reset will be for everyone except those in power over you .
He also explains the solution .
It ’ s a simple solution and one we ’ ve suggested multiple times .
All you have to do is wake up and realize you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to acquiesce to power .
No one has rights you don ’ t have and you are not obligated to be anyone ’ s slave .
No cop , no politician , no president , no trillionaire , no banker , no other person has additional rights that you do not have .
Their system is over once enough people figure this out , and that ’ s what they are truly afraid of .
This plan has been in the making for a long time , and people still don ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ accept it without question and become mindless slaves to the trillionaires .
If they don ’ t have the cases , they will make sure they invent them .
The coronavirus is just an excuse to roll out the New World Order , and it starts with the Great Reset of the currency .
Wake up and stop being fooled .
You were not put here to be a slave to anyone , including the U.S. government , who is , by the way , helping roll out the New World Order before @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what can you do about it ?
It ’ s simple .
Become self-reliant and become self-aware .
Awareness means understanding the fundamental principle of self-ownership and morality .
Everything they have done has been deliberate .
It ’ s time for you to do the same .
Stop allowing others to have power over you , and that includes the government .
They are not there to save you .
They are there to enslave you .
People tend to get upset when this fact is presented to them , but you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s happening so you can save yourself and your family from a dystopian future .
“ People are realizing now that the government isn ’ t their friend , ” Igan says .
It ’ s a difficult idea to come to terms with , and most resort to cognitive dissonance , Stockholm syndrome , and anger before realizing it .
Waking up yourself , and helping to awaken others will be the key .
As Max Ian says in the video : “ if we don ’ t wake people up , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ us into this slavery system whether we like it or not .
Even if we refuse to comply , everyone else is gon na lead us in there .
That ’ s the problem.
” There is nothing more important than freedom .
There has been “ no time in the human experience that humanity has been free , ” says Igan .
We have that chance if we choose to take it .
But again , it will require analyzing , awakening , awareness , and expanded consciousness of more people to @ @ @

YouTube has put the pedal to the metal and is banning anything that doesn’t align with the New World Order and the agenda of slavery. They don’t want you to know that the Great Reset is further enslavement to the system and they definitely don’t want you to prepare by exiting the current system.
There will be a new one-world digital centralized currency. It will be owned by the elites and your transactions will be monitored and controlled by a very few other people. They will take what they want and call it “tax” whenever they see fit and this will happen. But there are ways to prepare for it. You’ve got to think outside the box and understand what’s really happening though.
In a video banned by YouTube, Max Igan describes how horrific the Great Reset will be for everyone except those in power over you. He also explains the solution. It’s a simple solution and one we’ve suggested multiple times. All you have to do is wake up and realize you own yourself and you do not have to acquiesce to power. No one has rights you don’t have and you are not obligated to be anyone’s slave. No cop, no politician, no president, no trillionaire, no banker, no other person has additional rights that you do not have.
Their system is over once enough people figure this out, and that’s what they are truly afraid of.
This plan has been in the making for a long time, and people still don’t know about it. Many more will accept it without question and become mindless slaves to the trillionaires. If they don’t have the cases, they will make sure they invent them. The coronavirus is just an excuse to roll out the New World Order, and it starts with the Great Reset of the currency.
Wake up and stop being fooled. You were not put here to be a slave to anyone, including the U.S. government, who is, by the way, helping roll out the New World Order before too many people catch on. So what can you do about it? It’s simple. Become self-reliant and become self-aware. Awareness means understanding the fundamental principle of self-ownership and morality.
Everything they have done has been deliberate. It’s time for you to do the same. Stop allowing others to have power over you, and that includes the government. They are not there to save you. They are there to enslave you.

How blessed are those who keep justice, Who practice righteousness at all times! -Psalm 106:3

And why is this happening? Because these criminals are committing capital crimes and instead of getting a dirt nap, they are given a place to sleep, food, clothing and amenities at the expense of their victims and their families. There is no justice, and without justice, there is no mercy to the people.
Instead, elected representatives are bowing to criminals.
Take Baltimore, for instance.
DJH Media reported that the mayor has given up and now defends and supports those that toppled the Christopher Columbus statue.
Protesters just took down the Christopher Columbus statue in Baltimore’s Little Italy. pic.twitter.com/ViPk5eKOtz — Louis Krauss (@louiskraussnews) July 5, 2020
Baltimore Mayor Bernard C. “Jack” Young defended hoodlums who toppled a statue of Christopher Columbus on Saturday and chucked it into the city’s Inner Harbor like a piece of trash.
Folks, this is an elected official charged with protecting the city. If this were the military he would be court marshaled for dereliction of duty. This is a shameful failure on the mayor’s part to fulfill the obligations of his office. It is his duty to enforce city laws, and he has not only failed to do so, but is contributing to the lawlessness by supporting the rioters.
Via spokesman Lester Davis, Young called the motion part of a “re-examination taking place nationally and globally around some of these monuments and statues that may represent different things to different people,” according to the Baltimore Sun.
So, you have a differing opinion from other people over a statue. What gives anyone the right to destroy it?
“We understand the frustrations,” Davis continued. “What the city wants to do is serve as a national model, particularly with how we’ve done with protesting. We’ve seen people who have taken to the streets, we have supported them. We are going to continue to support it. That’s a full stop.”
When Democrats make irresponsible statements like that they embolden more vandalism, more rioting, and more violence. Full stop.
Criminal and corrupt politicians are putting the people they are to serve in danger by failing to faithfully uphold the laws and ensure justice is brought to bear on the criminals.
Until that changes, don’t expect things to get better. Expect them to get worse!

thewashingtonstandard--2020-07-08--The War on Black Lives in America

The War on Black Lives in America

Despite being a culture of death , Americans have uncompromisingly ( or so we think ) done away with slavery and racial discrimination in a pursuit of liberty for all men and women .
Noah Webster clarifies that the “ liberty of one depends not so much on the removal of all restraint from him , as on the due restraint upon the liberty of others.
” This restraint on the liberty of others is exemplified in chattel slavery .
Webster defines a slave as , “ A person who is wholly subject to the will of another ; one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but whose person and services are wholly under the control of another.
” During a Congressional hearing about the Heartbeat Protection Act , pro-life leader Star Parker — a black woman who had four abortions early in her life — testified , “ In fact , when you put the Dred Scott decision next to the Roe v. Wade decision they read almost verbatim.
” Parker continued , “ Abortion is the leading cause of death in the black community today.
” She went on to explain that since the Supreme Court @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Twenty-million humans have been killed inside of the womb of black women.
” When “ Meet the Press ” host Chuck Todd queried if an unborn child ’ s life is wholly under the control of the mother , former presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson asserted , “ During slavery , a lot of the slave owners thought that they had the right to do whatever they wanted to that slave .
And , you know , what if the abolitionist had said , you know , ‘ I don ’ t believe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s wrong .
But you guys do whatever you want to do ’ ?
Where would we be ?
” Infant murder , as horrid as slavery and lynching , has become an unprecedented abomination in our country , taking roughly 4,000 lives a day !
Wall Street Journalist Jason Riley wrote the following : “ Prior to his run for president , civil rights advocate Jesse Jackson called abortion ‘ murder ’ and once told a black newspaper in Chicago , ‘ We used to look for death from the man in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a white coat.
’ ” Tragically deceived by white establishment political parties , many leaders of black civil-rights organizations today are joined at the hip with abortion-rights proponents such as Planned Parenthood .
The magnitude of the death toll of African-Americans in these pro-choice clinics is nothing short of staggering .
In 2014 , black women were 13 % of the female population , yet 36 % of all abortions were black babies .
According to a New York City Health Department report , between 2012 and 2016 black mothers terminated 136,426 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
That means more black children were murdered than were allowed to be born .
“ You shall not murder ” does not apply to white lives alone , and violation of this supreme law results in personal and societal consequences .
When we abandon God ’ s Word , we abandon all rationality .
We instead have to prop up an abstract morality full of racism , contradictions , deceit and worse .
The white-American acceptance of racist white police officers murdering black men in cold blood or a genocidal white doctor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and will always be an abomination .

“ Woke ” white people , I ’ d like to ask you a favor : Please stop asking for forgiveness for your “ white privilege.

Because you were born with white skin , you have all these advantages that I don ’ t have ?
Like what ?
Like , you can get a mortgage loan that I can ’ t get ?
Hmm .
I got a loan—at a great rate , by the way—and I got the house .
Why would a banker not give a loan to someone who met the loan requirements ?
He doesn ’ t want to make money ?
I ’ ve never heard of such @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this : You can enter a store and not be looked upon with suspicion , but I—a black person— can not .

Would I be suspicious ?
Yeah , I would .
Who wouldn ’ t ?

“Woke” white people, I’d like to ask you a favor: Please stop asking for forgiveness for your “white privilege.”
You’re not fooling anybody. You’re not helping black people—or any other minority. And your public confessions don’t make you look virtuous. They make you look disingenuous, which is a really nice way of saying fake, phony, and fraudulent.
For starters, what is “white privilege” anyway? Because you were born with white skin, you have all these advantages that I don’t have? Like what? Like, you can get a mortgage loan that I can’t get?
Hmm. I got a loan—at a great rate, by the way—and I got the house. Why would a banker not give a loan to someone who met the loan requirements? He doesn’t want to make money? I’ve never heard of such a banker.
Or, how about this: You can enter a store and not be looked upon with suspicion, but I—a black person—cannot. Except…that has never happened to me.
But if I was a young dude with my pants hanging down to my butt, I could understand why a store owner would be concerned. I used to be a cop. Believe me, I understand. If I owned the store, I’d be tracking that kid, too—whether he was black, white, or anything else.

Because it does nothing good for white students. And it does nothing good for black students. But of the two, ironically, the white students get the better of the deal.
Let me explain: To acknowledge your white privilege is supposed to make you feel bad. Only it doesn’t. It makes you feel good because by acknowledging your white privilege, you’re declaring yourself to be enlightened. And as a virtue-bonus, it also makes you a better person than those whites who don’t acknowledge their privilege.
White privilege, which is supposed to make you feel bad, ends up making you feel good. Meanwhile, the real damage is to blacks. What makes whites feel good makes blacks angry.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-07-07--Tyranny Without a Tyrant: The Deep State’s Divide-and-Conquer Strategy Is Working

What exactly is going on ?
Is this revolution ?
Is this anarchy ?
Is this a spectacle engineered to distract us from the machinations of the police state ?
Is this a sociological means of re-setting our national equilibrium ?
Is this a Machiavellian scheme designed to further polarize the populace and undermine our efforts to stand unified against government tyranny ?
Is this so-called populist uprising actually a manufactured race war and election-year referendum on who should occupy the White House ?
Whatever it is , this—the racial hypersensitivity without racial justice , the kowtowing to politically correct @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s free speech rights , the violent blowback after years of government-sanctioned brutality , the mob mindset that is overwhelming the rights of the individual , the oppressive glowering of the Nanny State , the seemingly righteous indignation full of sound and fury that in the end signifies nothing , the partisan divide that grows more impassable with every passing day—is not leading us anywhere good .
Certainly , it ’ s not leading to more freedom .
This draconian exercise in how to divide , conquer and subdue a nation is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Black Lives Matter protests have not helped .
Inadvertently or intentionally , these protests—tinged with mob violence , rampant incivility , intolerance , and an arrogant disdain for how an open marketplace of ideas can advance freedom—have politicized what should never have been politicized : police brutality and the government ’ s ongoing assaults on our freedoms .
For one brief moment in the wake of George Floyd ’ s death , it seemed as if finally “ we the people ” might put aside our differences long enough to stand united @ @ @ @ @ @ @ brutality .
That sliver of unity didn ’ t last .
We may be worse off now than we were before .
Suddenly , no one seems to be talking about any of the egregious governmental abuses that are still wreaking havoc on our freedoms : police shootings of unarmed individuals , invasive surveillance , roadside blood draws , roadside strip searches , SWAT team raids gone awry , the military industrial complex ’ s costly wars , pork barrel spending , pre-crime laws , civil asset forfeiture , fusion centers , militarization @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out by AI robots , courts that march in lockstep with the police state , schools that function as indoctrination centers , bureaucrats that keep the Deep State in power .
The more things change , the more they stay the same .
How do you persuade a populace to embrace totalitarianism , that goose-stepping form of tyranny in which the government has all of the power and “ we the people ” have none ?
You persuade the people that the menace they face ( imaginary or not ) is so sinister @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the only way to surmount the danger is by empowering the government to take all necessary steps to quash it , even if that means allowing government jackboots to trample all over the Constitution .
This is how you use the politics of fear to persuade a freedom-endowed people to shackle themselves to a dictatorship .
It works the same way every time The government ’ s overblown , extended wars on terrorism , drugs , violence , illegal immigration , and so-called domestic extremism have been convenient ruses used to terrorize the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in exchange for elusive promises of security .
Having allowed our fears to be codified and our actions criminalized , we now find ourselves in a strange new world where just about everything we do is criminalized , even our ability to choose whether or not to wear a mask in public during the COVID-19 pandemic .
Strangely enough , in the face of outright corruption and incompetency on the part of our elected officials , Americans , in general , remain relatively gullible , eager to be persuaded that the government can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ whether it be terrorism , an economic depression , an environmental disaster , or a global pandemic .
We have relinquished control over the most intimate aspects of our lives to government officials who , while they may occupy seats of authority , are neither wiser , smarter , more in tune with our needs , more knowledgeable about our problems , nor more aware of what is really in our best interests .
Yet having bought into the false notion that the government does indeed know what ’ s best for us @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but our happiness and will take care of us from cradle to grave—that is , from daycare centers to nursing homes—we have in actuality allowed ourselves to be bridled and turned into slaves at the bidding of a government that cares little for our freedoms or our happiness .
The lesson is this : once a free people allows the government inroads into their freedoms or uses those same freedoms as bargaining chips for security , it quickly becomes a slippery slope to outright tyranny .
Nor does it seem to matter whether @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Republican at the helm anymore .
Indeed , the bureaucratic mindset on both sides of the aisle now seems to embody the same philosophy of authoritarian government , whose priorities are to milk “ we the people ” of our hard-earned money ( by way of taxes , fines and fees ) and remain in control and in power .
Modern government in general—ranging from the militarized police in SWAT team gear crashing through our doors to the rash of innocent citizens being gunned down by police to the invasive spying on everything @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
( The characteristics of a psychopath include a “ lack of remorse and empathy , a sense of grandiosity , superficial charm , conning and manipulative behavior , and refusal to take responsibility for one ’ s actions , among others.
” ) When our own government no longer sees us as human beings with dignity and worth but as things to be manipulated , maneuvered , mined for data , manhandled by police , conned into believing it has our best interests at heart , mistreated , and then jails us @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , punishes us unjustly without remorse , and refuses to own up to its failings , we are no longer operating under a constitutional republic .
Instead , what we are experiencing is a pathocracy : tyranny at the hands of a psychopathic government , which “ operates against the interests of its own people except for favoring certain groups.
” So where does that leave us ?
Having allowed the government to expand and exceed our reach , we find ourselves on the losing end of a tug-of-war over control of our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as long as we let them , government officials will continue to trample on our rights , always justifying their actions as being for the good of the people .
Yet the government can only go as far as “ we the people ” allow .
Therein lies the problem .
The pickle we find ourselves in speaks volumes about the nature of the government beast we have been saddled with and how it views the rights and sovereignty of “ we the people.
” Now you don ’ t hear a lot @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dusty , antiquated term that harkens back to an age when kings and emperors ruled with absolute power over a populace that had no rights .
Americans turned the idea of sovereignty on its head when they declared their independence from Great Britain and rejected the absolute authority of King George III .
In doing so , Americans claimed for themselves the right to self-government and established themselves as the ultimate authority and power .
In other words , in America , “ we the people ” — sovereign citizens—call the shots .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ is supposed to do so at our bidding and on our behalf , because we are the rulers .
That ’ s not exactly how it turned out , though , is it ?
In the 200-plus years since we boldly embarked on this experiment in self-government , we have been steadily losing ground to the government ’ s brazen power grabs , foisted upon us in the so-called name of national security .
The government has knocked us off our rightful throne .
It has usurped our rightful authority .
It has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no longer even pretend that they answer to “ we the people.
” Worst of all , “ we the people ” have become desensitized to this constant undermining of our freedoms .
How do we reconcile the Founders ’ vision of the government as an entity whose only purpose is to serve the people with the police state ’ s insistence that the government is the supreme authority , that its power trumps that of the people themselves , and that it may exercise that power in any way it sees fit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ doors , mass arrests , ethnic cleansing , racial profiling , indefinite detentions without due process , and internment camps ) ?
They can not be reconciled .
They are polar opposites .
We are fast approaching a moment of reckoning where we will be forced to choose between the vision of what America was intended to be ( a model for self-governance where power is vested in the people ) and the reality of what it has become ( a police state where power is vested in the government ) .
This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government surveillance , militarized police , neighbors turning in neighbors , privatized prisons , and forced labor camps , to name just a few similarities—is tracking very closely with what happened in Germany in the years leading up to Hitler ’ s rise to power .
We are walking a dangerous path right now .
No matter who wins the presidential election come November , it ’ s a sure bet that the losers will be the American people .
Despite what is taught in school and the propaganda that is peddled by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is not a populist election for a representative .
Rather , it ’ s a gathering of shareholders to select the next CEO , a fact reinforced by the nation ’ s archaic electoral college system .
Anyone who believes that this election will bring about any real change in how the American government does business is either incredibly naïve , woefully out-of-touch , or oblivious to the fact that as an in-depth Princeton University study shows , we now live in an oligarchy that is “ of the rich , by the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a country spends close to $ 10 billion on elections to select what is , for all intents and purposes , a glorified homecoming king or queen to occupy the White House and fill other government seats , while more than 40 million of its people live in poverty , more than 40 million Americans are on unemployment , more than 500,000 Americans are homeless , and analysts forecast it will take a decade to work our way out of the current COVID-induced recession , that ’ s a country whose priorities are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its people .
Be warned , however : the Establishment—the Deep State and its corporate partners that really run the show , pull the strings and dictate the policies , no matter who occupies the Oval Office—is not going to allow anyone to take office who will unravel their power structures .
Those who have attempted to do so in the past have been effectively put out of commission .
Voting sustains the illusion that we have a democratic republic , but it is merely a dictatorship in disguise , or what political @ @ @ @ @ @ @ accurately refer to as an “ economic élite domination.
” In such an environment , the economic elite ( lobbyists , corporations , monied special interest groups ) dictate national policy .

“In a fully developed bureaucracy there is nobody left with whom one can argue, to whom one can present grievances, on whom the pressures of power can be exerted. Bureaucracy is the form of government in which everybody is deprived of political freedom, of the power to act; for the rule by Nobody is not no-rule, and where all are equally powerless, we have a tyranny without a tyrant.” ― Hannah Arendt, On Violence
What exactly is going on?
Is this revolution? Is this anarchy? Is this a spectacle engineered to distract us from the machinations of the police state? Is this a sociological means of re-setting our national equilibrium? Is this a Machiavellian scheme designed to further polarize the populace and undermine our efforts to stand unified against government tyranny? Is this so-called populist uprising actually a manufactured race war and election-year referendum on who should occupy the White House?
Whatever it is, this—the racial hypersensitivity without racial justice, the kowtowing to politically correct bullies with no regard for anyone else’s free speech rights, the violent blowback after years of government-sanctioned brutality, the mob mindset that is overwhelming the rights of the individual, the oppressive glowering of the Nanny State, the seemingly righteous indignation full of sound and fury that in the end signifies nothing, the partisan divide that grows more impassable with every passing day—is not leading us anywhere good.
Certainly, it’s not leading to more freedom.
This draconian exercise in how to divide, conquer and subdue a nation is succeeding.
It must be said: the Black Lives Matter protests have not helped. Inadvertently or intentionally, these protests—tinged with mob violence, rampant incivility, intolerance, and an arrogant disdain for how an open marketplace of ideas can advance freedom—have politicized what should never have been politicized: police brutality and the government’s ongoing assaults on our freedoms.
For one brief moment in the wake of George Floyd’s death, it seemed as if finally “we the people” might put aside our differences long enough to stand united in outrage over the government’s brutality.
That sliver of unity didn’t last.
We may be worse off now than we were before.
Suddenly, no one seems to be talking about any of the egregious governmental abuses that are still wreaking havoc on our freedoms: police shootings of unarmed individuals, invasive surveillance, roadside blood draws, roadside strip searches, SWAT team raids gone awry, the military industrial complex’s costly wars, pork barrel spending, pre-crime laws, civil asset forfeiture, fusion centers, militarization, armed drones, smart policing carried out by AI robots, courts that march in lockstep with the police state, schools that function as indoctrination centers, bureaucrats that keep the Deep State in power.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
How do you persuade a populace to embrace totalitarianism, that goose-stepping form of tyranny in which the government has all of the power and “we the people” have none?
You persuade the people that the menace they face (imaginary or not) is so sinister, so overwhelming, so fearsome that the only way to surmount the danger is by empowering the government to take all necessary steps to quash it, even if that means allowing government jackboots to trample all over the Constitution.
This is how you use the politics of fear to persuade a freedom-endowed people to shackle themselves to a dictatorship.
It works the same way every time
The government’s overblown, extended wars on terrorism, drugs, violence, illegal immigration, and so-called domestic extremism have been convenient ruses used to terrorize the populace into relinquishing more of their freedoms in exchange for elusive promises of security.
Having allowed our fears to be codified and our actions criminalized, we now find ourselves in a strange new world where just about everything we do is criminalized, even our ability to choose whether or not to wear a mask in public during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Strangely enough, in the face of outright corruption and incompetency on the part of our elected officials, Americans, in general, remain relatively gullible, eager to be persuaded that the government can solve the problems that plague us, whether it be terrorism, an economic depression, an environmental disaster, or a global pandemic.
We have relinquished control over the most intimate aspects of our lives to government officials who, while they may occupy seats of authority, are neither wiser, smarter, more in tune with our needs, more knowledgeable about our problems, nor more aware of what is really in our best interests. Yet having bought into the false notion that the government does indeed know what’s best for us and can ensure not only our safety but our happiness and will take care of us from cradle to grave—that is, from daycare centers to nursing homes—we have in actuality allowed ourselves to be bridled and turned into slaves at the bidding of a government that cares little for our freedoms or our happiness.
The lesson is this: once a free people allows the government inroads into their freedoms or uses those same freedoms as bargaining chips for security, it quickly becomes a slippery slope to outright tyranny.
Nor does it seem to matter whether it’s a Democrat or a Republican at the helm anymore. Indeed, the bureaucratic mindset on both sides of the aisle now seems to embody the same philosophy of authoritarian government, whose priorities are to milk “we the people” of our hard-earned money (by way of taxes, fines and fees) and remain in control and in power.
Modern government in general—ranging from the militarized police in SWAT team gear crashing through our doors to the rash of innocent citizens being gunned down by police to the invasive spying on everything we do—is acting illogically, even psychopathically. (The characteristics of a psychopath include a “lack of remorse and empathy, a sense of grandiosity, superficial charm, conning and manipulative behavior, and refusal to take responsibility for one’s actions, among others.”)
When our own government no longer sees us as human beings with dignity and worth but as things to be manipulated, maneuvered, mined for data, manhandled by police, conned into believing it has our best interests at heart, mistreated, and then jails us if we dare step out of line, punishes us unjustly without remorse, and refuses to own up to its failings, we are no longer operating under a constitutional republic. Instead, what we are experiencing is a pathocracy: tyranny at the hands of a psychopathic government, which “operates against the interests of its own people except for favoring certain groups.”
So where does that leave us?
Having allowed the government to expand and exceed our reach, we find ourselves on the losing end of a tug-of-war over control of our country and our lives. And for as long as we let them, government officials will continue to trample on our rights, always justifying their actions as being for the good of the people.
Yet the government can only go as far as “we the people” allow. Therein lies the problem.
The pickle we find ourselves in speaks volumes about the nature of the government beast we have been saddled with and how it views the rights and sovereignty of “we the people.”
Now you don’t hear a lot about sovereignty anymore. Sovereignty is a dusty, antiquated term that harkens back to an age when kings and emperors ruled with absolute power over a populace that had no rights. Americans turned the idea of sovereignty on its head when they declared their independence from Great Britain and rejected the absolute authority of King George III. In doing so, Americans claimed for themselves the right to self-government and established themselves as the ultimate authority and power.
In other words, in America, “we the people”— sovereign citizens—call the shots.
So when the government acts, it is supposed to do so at our bidding and on our behalf, because we are the rulers.
That’s not exactly how it turned out, though, is it?
In the 200-plus years since we boldly embarked on this experiment in self-government, we have been steadily losing ground to the government’s brazen power grabs, foisted upon us in the so-called name of national security.
The government has knocked us off our rightful throne. It has usurped our rightful authority. It has staged the ultimate coup. Its agents no longer even pretend that they answer to “we the people.” Worst of all, “we the people” have become desensitized to this constant undermining of our freedoms.
How do we reconcile the Founders’ vision of the government as an entity whose only purpose is to serve the people with the police state’s insistence that the government is the supreme authority, that its power trumps that of the people themselves, and that it may exercise that power in any way it sees fit (that includes government agents crashing through doors, mass arrests, ethnic cleansing, racial profiling, indefinite detentions without due process, and internment camps)?
They cannot be reconciled. They are polar opposites.
We are fast approaching a moment of reckoning where we will be forced to choose between the vision of what America was intended to be (a model for self-governance where power is vested in the people) and the reality of what it has become (a police state where power is vested in the government).
This slide into totalitarianism—helped along by overcriminalization, government surveillance, militarized police, neighbors turning in neighbors, privatized prisons, and forced labor camps, to name just a few similarities—is tracking very closely with what happened in Germany in the years leading up to Hitler’s rise to power.
We are walking a dangerous path right now.
No matter who wins the presidential election come November, it’s a sure bet that the losers will be the American people.
Despite what is taught in school and the propaganda that is peddled by the media, the 2020 presidential election is not a populist election for a representative. Rather, it’s a gathering of shareholders to select the next CEO, a fact reinforced by the nation’s archaic electoral college system.
Anyone who believes that this election will bring about any real change in how the American government does business is either incredibly naïve, woefully out-of-touch, or oblivious to the fact that as an in-depth Princeton University study shows, we now live in an oligarchy that is “of the rich, by the rich and for the rich.”
When a country spends close to $10 billion on elections to select what is, for all intents and purposes, a glorified homecoming king or queen to occupy the White House and fill other government seats, while more than 40 million of its people live in poverty, more than 40 million Americans are on unemployment, more than 500,000 Americans are homeless, and analysts forecast it will take a decade to work our way out of the current COVID-induced recession, that’s a country whose priorities are out of step with the needs of its people.
Be warned, however: the Establishment—the Deep State and its corporate partners that really run the show, pull the strings and dictate the policies, no matter who occupies the Oval Office—is not going to allow anyone to take office who will unravel their power structures. Those who have attempted to do so in the past have been effectively put out of commission.
Voting sustains the illusion that we have a democratic republic, but it is merely a dictatorship in disguise, or what political scientists Martin Gilens and Benjamin Page more accurately refer to as an “economic élite domination.”
In such an environment, the economic elite (lobbyists, corporations, monied special interest groups) dictate national policy. As the Princeton University oligarchy study indicates, our elected officials, especially those in the nation’s capital, represent the interests of the rich and powerful rather than the average citizen. As such, the citizenry has little if any impact on the policies of government.
We have been saddled with a two-party system and fooled into believing that there’s a difference between the Republicans and Democrats, when in fact, the two parties are exactly the same. As one commentator noted, both parties support endless war, engage in out-of-control spending, ignore the citizenry’s basic rights, have no respect for the rule of law, are bought and paid for by Big Business, care most about their own power, and have a long record of expanding government and shrinking liberty
We’re drowning under the weight of too much debt, too many wars, too much power in the hands of a centralized government run by a corporate elite, too many militarized police, too many laws, too many lobbyists, and generally too much bad news.
The powers-that-be want us to believe that our job as citizens begins and ends on Election Day. They want us to believe that we have no right to complain about the state of the nation unless we’ve cast our vote one way or the other. They want us to remain divided over politics, hostile to those with whom we disagree politically, and intolerant of anyone or anything whose solutions to what ails this country differ from our own.
What they don’t want us talking about is the fact that the government is corrupt, the system is rigged, the politicians don’t represent us, the electoral college is a joke, most of the candidates are frauds, and, as I point out in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People , we as a nation are repeating the mistakes of history—namely, allowing a totalitarian state to reign over us.
Former concentration camp inmate Hannah Arendt warned against this when she wrote, “Never has our future been more unpredictable, never have we depended so much on political forces that cannot be trusted to follow the rules of common sense and self-interest—forces that look like sheer insanity, if judged by the standards of other centuries.”
As we once again find ourselves faced with the prospect of voting for the lesser of two evils, “we the people” have a decision to make: do we simply participate in the collapse of the American republic as it degenerates toward a totalitarian regime, or do we take a stand and reject the pathetic excuse for government that is being fobbed off on us?
Never forget that the lesser of two evils is still evil.
