Words, and how we use them, can change over time. Certainly. But when it comes to politics, especially today, words have lost meaning. It has made worthwhile political conversations near impossible.
For example, what is the definition of democracy?
Merriam-Webster defines democracy as follows:
government by the people
especially : rule of the majority
So far so good. I'd say most likely, that's the definition 99% of us use. But... do we really have rule of the majority?
Are you sure?
Because whatever your politics are, you're not getting what you want. Nor even decent representation towards for that matter.
Well, are you?
Really?
More than 65% of Americans, right now, are struggling to pay their bills. Because household debt keeps climbing, delinquency rates have reached their highest levels in more than a decade too.
In other words, a tighter, thus smaller future is on the horizon for the current majority of Americans.
Now, is this the majority who voted to spend trillions of dollars on wars, bailouts, and "green" energy boondoggles year after year?
Not likely.
No majority wanted that shit.
So much then for the "rule of the majority"...
Democracy?
Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths. -- James Madison
So what, exactly, do they mean, when they talk about saving and so on and so forth, "Our Democracy®"?
The New Normal Democracy
Democracy is being redefined in a way that eliminates "the people" altogether, along with our constitutional system of checks and balances.
Democracy is now, pause for dramatic effect... "Our Democracy®".
Instead of "government by the people", democracy has been redefined to the "sanctity of democratic institutions"... You know, the "consensus-building institutions" like MIC, CIA, NSA, DOJ, FBI, NATO, IMF, UN, WEF, CFR, Trilaterals, Bilderbergers, Aspen Institute, Atlantic Council, sundry NGOs, ... Big Media, Blackrock, Vanguard, Goldman, JP Morgan/Chase, et al.,... Rothschild, Rockefeller, Soros, Gates. King Charles III and their ilk.
"Our Democracy®" are the elite institutions, and the sanctity of these institutions must be protected from, you know "the people".
To disagree with these institutions, or even worse, to offer an alternative viewpoint, is tantamount to "an attack on democracy".
Are you beginning to see the game?
From the video:
The whole push after the 2016 election and after Brexit and after a couple of other... social media run elections that went the wrong way from what the State Department wanted... was to completely invert everything that we described as being the underpinnings of a democratic society... And what they essentially said is we need to redefine democracy from being about the will of the voters to being about the sanctity of democratic institutions... you know, it’s the military, it’s NATO, it’s the IMF and the World Bank. It’s the mainstream media... the NGOs. And of course, these NGOs are largely State Department funded or IC funded. It’s essentially all of the elite establishments, that were under threat from the rise of domestic populism that declared their own consensus to be the new definition of democracy. Because if you define democracy as being the strength of democratic institutions rather than a focus on the will of the voters, then what you’re left with is essentially democracy is just the consensus building architecture within the democratic institutions themselves. And from their perspective, that takes a lot of work... for example, we mentioned the Atlantic Council, which is one of these big coordinating mechanisms for the oil and gas industry in a region for the for the finance and the JPMorgan’s in the BlackRock’s in a region, for the NGOs in the region, for the media, in the region. All of these need to reach a consensus. And that process takes a lot of time. It takes a lot of work and a lot of negotiation. From their perspective, that’s democracy. Democracy is getting the NGOs to agree with Blackrock, to agree with the Wall Street Journal, you know, to agree with, you know, the community and activist groups who are onboarded with respect to a particular initiative. That is the difficult vote building process from their perspective. At the end of the day, a bunch of, you know, populist groups decide that they like a truck driver who’s popular on TikTok more than the, you know, carefully constructed consensus of the NATO military brass. Well, then, from their perspective, you know, that is now an attack on democracy. And this is what this whole branding effort was. And of course, democracy again, has that magic regime change predicate, where democracy is, is our magic watchword to be able to overthrow governments from the ground up in a sort of color revolution style, whole of society effort to toppling a democratically elected government from the inside.
Here's Dr. Evil himself, Klaus Schwab, discussing the future of democracy.
So technology now, and digital technology, mainly have an analytical power. Now, we go into predictive power and we have seen the first examples... But then the next step could be to go into prescriptive mode, which means you do not even have to have elections anymore because you can already predict. And afterward, you can say, why do we need elections? Because we know what the result will be.
The outcome will always be what the elite institutions want.
