Democracy is not over: pro-democracy organization

The pro – democracy organization, Reclaim Democracy, says democracy is not over, but rather needs to be reclaimed. From personal experience, I can say the heads of this particular organization. Desire a rejuvenation of the Democratic ideal in America. Their research on the history and dynamics of democracy in the United States is an important part of the puzzle completing the picture.  They do help to show how democracy was a goal of the founding fathers, even though there were forces against it even in revolutionary times. Yet all is not lost declares Reclaim Democracy. Important, recommended.

Election Fraud Information Being Revealed

 I have always felt the truth about last November‘s election fraud would come out. And I have been afraid it would take a very long time. However, I am now beginning to feel the truth may come out earlier than I had originally expected.  The lawsuit in Rockland County, New York, is one sign. The fact that another lawsuit has been filed, is another. Truth has a way of eventually being revealed always.

Other Presidents Suffered Ill Health in Office

 The Internet is virtually awash with stories about the President’s health. I will relate all the details at this time.

An interesting Town and Country magazine article tells about the various Presidents who had health issues in office. Even some who were victim of an assassin‘s bullet, had other health issues. The point is that this is not the first time America has had a president with health issues.The difference now, in part, is the greater visibility of the president. The difference now, in part, is the greater visibility of the president. Phitography is better, and Whitehouse cover-ups less effective.   See more at the link below.

The Broadcast Media and Democracy

 The constitution may be by, of, and for the people, but I ask whether the broadcast industry is. True, we do have so-called new media. However, the Internet is now so dominated by profit-hungry Enterprises, it is becoming harder for new thinking, as well as the voice of the average person to be heard.

Thus, the thinking person realizes that there is an inherent conflict between political democracy and economic hegemony. That is to say, what people desire deeply is most certainly not being supplied by our broadcasters. The first victim has been the Truth. Let’s not let the second victim be our country itself.

The Attack on Democracy

 Quickly —

History shows something important: when the profit system gets in trouble, the oligarchs turn toward autocracy. This can be seen in many regimes of the past, including the Assyrian, the Roman, the French, the German, and now in the United States.*   Fascism is essentially the uniting of the business establishment with the government into one collusive entity.

Often forgotten, especially in America, is the fact that the big legacy media companies, and now big Internet companies are themselves profit-making machines. No matter how many good people there may be in these industries, as they are called, the workings of this cohesive, gelatinous oneness are — sadly —– quite corrupt.

*See the great histories by Will Durant, and Ariel Durant, especially Our Oriental Heritage, (et. al.).

Author Charles Sheldon Speaks

In his famous book, “In His Steps,” Charles Sheldon helps make clear the disaster of the western economic system. Call it whatever name you will, the system, as Sheldon’s character says, is rotten to the core. 

 “ We’ve got to have a new start in the way of government. The whole thing needs reconstruction. I don’t look for any reform worth anything to come out of the churches. They are not with the people. They are with the aristocrats, the men of money. The trusts and monopolies have the greatest men in the churches. The ministers as a class are their slaves.  What we need is a system that will start from the common basis of…the rights of the common people – –“

                                                             — Charles M. Sheldon in *In His Steps*

Strong words?  Yes. Of course not every church or minister is so complacent. However, the reality is that too many are.
