Corruption is Legal in America
Amazingly, for those who have remained naive about the current and growing state of pathetic political affairs in the U.S., it has taken the presence of a Do-do bird in the White house (incredulously supported by the Congress, the Pentagon, Corporations and religious zealots who conceal, protect and defend the prevailing stark ineptness because to do otherwise would clearly denote how tasteless America's brand of phony democracy is); and otherwise show the world how really stupid and single-minded the U.S. political system actually is and that the government practices a despotic formula of democracy like Britain and other so-called democracies.
And to this list of demented confederates we have to add the Nobel Peace Prize committee which commits itself to the same level of degrading thought processing which has infected the American political system. By having developed a criteria of values for selecting particularized politically-oriented Peace Prize recipients as a supportive protest measure to voice an opinion about a conflict with resolution efforts that represent superficialities of peace for humanity, they indulge in a program akin to that seen in many systems of governance where to lie and conceal damaging evidence is the frequently resorted to tactic used to preserve a system of illusion and delusion bought and continually being paid for by a citizenry whose tax-based servitude is little more than the guild of a peasantry chasing after an apple, carrot or sugar cube. Since peace is so often described in terms of an absence of war and not an absence of hunger, pain, suffering, stupid religious ideologies, falsified democracy, cheating businesses, etc., an actual examination and thus definition of Peace is never undertaken.
A recognition of how incompetent the role of the President is by having his idiocy covered-up to justify a corrupt elections system instead of getting rid of him, describes the very reason many are calling for getting rid of the Presidential position all-together (if not the ludicrous Vice Presidency as well as other over-paid redundancies existing directly in government or government paid-for/sponsored positions) because it is little more than a tool by which the other two branches can provide an excuse to complement themselves or have a scape-goat that is often set up to take the brunt of recriminations for a failed system of governance due to the persistence of so much inequality and the absence of every single person having their basic needs met because this interferes with the profits of those who are egregiously wealthy and want more... regardless of who and how many have to suffer.
- Abolish the Presidency, it's a useless job
- Down With The Presidency
- Is the Vice Presidency Necessary?
Yet, the practiced formula of the present political landscape kept intact by an outdated Constitution which ensures exchanging one set of politicians for another that makes the public imagine they have somehow participated in the adoption of a new system which nonetheless utilizes the same Constitution that is clearly out-of-step with the needed progress of the people— will not suffice to correct the imbalance of equality the people are being subjected to. The public needs their own Peoples Legislative Branch. However, all legal efforts by the people to enact necessary changes in the overall political and government system are designed to thwart, to defuse, to interfere with and fatigue the people.
The system is designed to keep the entrenched institutionalization of nonsense as it is because far too many people have learned how to carve out a niche' within the currency of activity and those already enmeshed with the system... even if they are experiencing privation... are fearful of making changes to something that they are not familiar with unless they are appreciably forced to do so by one or another means that is not a conventionalized protest maneuver. Hence, those of us who want to push the public towards a progressive future are left with the option of attempting unconventional models of protest. Such an orientation requires that we begin listing the various options, however they may first appear and may cause emotionalized opposition to, including the development of a "rules of engagement" for protestors, as a step towards preventing the means by which conventional oppositional forces can effectively keep our progressive movement at bay.
Indeed, the growing number of us who fully acknowledge that there is a desperate need for a fundamental structural change in the type of government being practiced, must take the time to itemize the different protest options we have for bringing about corrective changes and make the list publicly known so that whichever way(s) is/are chosen the public and the many institutionalized functionalities which thrive because they have carved out a niche in the current streams of social sewage, must be fully aware of the rationale we are using to contemplate efforts along the avenues which are realistically devoted to structural and not mere superficial change... should make the necessary psychological preparations for the causal effects to follow. The so-called "rule-of-law" (phony democratic) system has failed so many people due to the increase in the many different inequalities experienced in various walks of life. Whereas those in power like the prevailing "rule-of-law" nonsense which protects the wealthy at the expense of everyone else, those not in power realize they must make more assertive measures to straighten out the corruption.
When authority (in government, business, media, etc.) convinces a given group of citizens to reiterate their claim that violence does not work in order to effect a measure of control similar to the "chemical restraints" used by psychologists and psychiatrists, a knowledgeable citizenry laughs at such a duplicitous maneuver which wants them to believe in such hypocrisy since the government itself uses violence or the threat of violence, incarceration, financial intimidations, social service stress, various scare tactics, etc... No less, when authority claims that crime does not pay and yet we very often encounter legalized forms of criminal behavior being used by the government to seize control of a person and/or their goods, we all notice that crime pays very well for those who are part of the authoritative structure which acts like a guild to keep the larger public harnessed to its many misdeeds.
A government that defines its greatness by the idiocy of its leadership is a repeat of the self-defeating nonsense the people of the Roman and other eras have experienced. Thus, the populace becomes aware that it is subjected to a cycle of irrationality that cause them to live in a heightened state of apprehension because the recurring cyclicity tied to the mechanization of a duplicitous formula of democracy will eventually create yet another type of wide-spread social deprivation... perhaps in the form of a recession, or depression, another war, or some other confabulated dire event used to excuse a fumbling and mumbling leadership that has no vision beyond the grasp of its own personal greed and monuments to themselves... as an incorporated mindset that has become institutionalized just as have charities— instead of addressing the means by which charities are no longer needed to fill a wide gap of insufficiency left by the incoherency of a rather fitfully moronic formula of democracy. The youth of the nation have little to hope for and must pursue a course of changing the government on their own behalf because they can not depend on a form of government out of step with their progress of inheriting a nation continuing to be riddled with social problems linked to inequality caused by receiving a miniscule wage of their Inalienable Rights.
American history, (though we are inclined to say World History)... with its many political documents such as the Constitution and Bill of Rights (or the lack of such in some countries which prefer unwritten traditions that can be arbitrarily interpreted), is thus revealed as a chronicle of how much and what type of politically obfuscated mental illness has been practiced up-to-date, as an interminable sequel to the story of the 'king parading about with no clothes on'— but everyone is afraid to tell the truth (except for a child) for fear of retribution in a cultural atmosphere of illusions inter-mixed with delusions based on antiquated ideologies. Hence, it may well have to be up to the young to carry out and take control of the desperately needed government Reformation and Revolution... because the old have gotten too set in their ways, too fearful of change for the better future for the young; quite possibly by way of an upgraded (modernized) Riotous model of self-expression because the system does not provide a means for appreciably correcting itself into a newer model with the young at its helm... nor letting the larger populace make the necessary corrections, but instead perpetuate more of the same policies which restrict the young from fully participating in that which is their government.
Everybody needs to stop voting. We The People must occupy every single elections venue. It is alright to have your many different individual reason(s) for not voting, but you must collectively assign it to the singular purpose of protesting against the government to force it to a social self-governance bargaining table in order to have all issues of grievance redressed... As an opening statement of our Declaration For Greater Independence!
It is an independence which many people want but do not yet know how to achieve without resorting to actions and activities which do not yet guarantee that the desired results will be acquired. They not only see the hypocrisies in the way the government is run, but also the hypocrisies in religion, economics, education and other subjects applied to social living standards. Simply telling someone that your religion, business or socio-political idea is better, does not dismiss the fact that the ones presently experiencing wide appeal offer some semblance of support and that by changing ideological direction, the people might be confronted by experiences much harsher than those which are presently prevalent under current social illusions and delusions. Because the future of humanity is not bright according to different perspectives, it is unrealistic to ask someone to believe in something that will "one day-someday" bring forth a glorious way of life. The people want some assurance that any short-term sacrifice they make in the present by pursuing a reform, restructuring, or larger revolution... will be overshadowed by a not-too-distant... soon-to-be reward of actual improvement and not mere words. They don't want the same political nonsense simply placed into someone else's hands, like giving the underdogs a chance to play the role of upper-dogs but little else is changed.
Problems will arise if a reform program is not only unrealistic, it is embellished with falsifications that the public becomes disgusted with... such as the current formula of phony democracy that has become such a joke, but no one is laughing. The political clowns and Media circus barkers no longer entertain us. Many people know there are lots of faults with the current political system which is packed with inequalities and imperfections that nobody is trying to improve on... yet there are no alternatives being offered which they are willing to readily adopt if the initial stages of introduction appear to present them with a scenario that will cause so much harm it will take far too long to recuperate from. No one realistically wants to sacrifice what little they have if it is going to lead to greater unfairness... or more of the same they are already experiencing and they are left with no other choice. Yes, we need a New Government (a Cenocracy), but no one has yet come forth with anything but a different formula of the same old game of political musical chairs where opposing ideas of a given orientation exchange places according to the tempo of the social drumbeat being made.
It is ridiculous to change the name of the political game we practice if in practicing one instead of another all we have altered is the names and titles of those who essentially play out the same roles as their predecessors... albeit with a different gender or ethnic group using an alternative language. If we were to put all blacks, or all pacific islanders, or all Asians, or all Hispanics, or all Women, or all Native Americans, or all homosexuals, or all lesbians, or all NRA members, etc... in every "official" government, business and religious position, would this make society a better place for humanity to prosper in? If we made all of them millionaires, would society for the sake of humanity be better off? Or what if every position was held by Trump or his like-minded brethren? How much more political madness must the people tolerate if there is no viable way to make corrective changes in the political and governing system unless we resort to those very acts we would prefer not to, but have no viable alternative but to engage an enemy that more and more people are coming to realize we are at war with... even though many refuse to believe this and will go out of their way to deny the existence of such a realization because they interpret this to mean a disparagement of themselves as an individual or group? Non-vocalization of such will not make the idiocy of the situation go away.
While individual non-voters may become gratified that their non-voting view(s) have increased the currency of non-voting participants to their respective non-voting cause and clause, they are little different than other greedy Capitalists who hoard their own desired resources which does not benefit any collectivity because their wealth neither 'trickles down', nor provides an over-whelming increase in employment positions available to the everyday citizen instead of particularizing jobs in order to be enabled to use various out-sourcing methods to increase their chances of even more wealth supported by government policies which are not always favourable to the citizenry. In other words, just because you use the excuse that there are many others who also do not vote, irrespective of reason(s), and they do the same by including you in their excuse... each of you is acting like a greedy miser (a scrooge) who counts and stacks their money but provides no assistance to anyone. Not voting in and of itself is valueless unless all the non-votes can be utilized like a collective fund meant to produce a publicly acknowledged result.
As part of our collective non-voting efforts, we need to emphasize the necessity for severely renegotiating the so-called "social contract" in light of the fact that the present Despotic formula of Democracy is wholly inadequate to address even the most basic needs of EVERYONE... and not just some acceptable percentage created in the minds of those who do not suffer the privations of basic needs nor feel the social reverberations contiguous with the lack of such basic needs— by claiming a guesstimated percentage of social poverty/privation is agreeable— only because they are not one of those calculated on the substandard percentage level of poverty accordingly calculated to the measure of a living standard one is subjected to in their respective culture. Just because America and other countries may claim there is a higher standard of living doesn't mean there isn't a concomitant higher standard of poverty as well. Indeed, for example, the benefits received by the military... paid for by the taxes of those who do not get to share in the same benefits... should be deemed the Basic Necessities everyone must have and are not bureaucratically relegated by labeled as being "accessible" so long as a person jumps through a labyrinthine structure of requirements which effectively eliminates the greater percentage of people from being eligible because a social program is not meant to actually work, it is only meant to give the impression of working without being adequately funded or staffed in the first place. Programs which work are often the result of some unexpected fluke or application to a particular segment of society... though a program is presented as that meant for everyone in need.
While the old idea of a "social contract" between the governed and govern seems a tenable philosophical exercise, it initially illegitimizes the defining presence of a democracy as being Of, By and For All the people... though this clause is not part of the supposed social contract which does not in fact exist as a legal document... and is therefore not enforceable unless believed in or manipulatively imposed on the public as an illusion. There is no actual contract, no actual democracy— only a Representative... nay, only a smudged and distorted facsimile model— of a democracy speciously and romantically defined by Lincoln's "Of, By, For The People" Gettysburg phrase (truncated from a sermon given by the Abolitionist preacher Theodore Parker who may well have gotten it from an inscription by John Wycliffe), and there is no honest definition of "people" when it is used in legal political documents or speeches. If we are to have an actual and honest contract. The idea of a "social contract" between the governed and those who govern is a statement identifying the presence of a despotic formula of democracy and not one based on the presence that the collective will of the populace have any actual Self-Representation or Self-Determination as a result of having a "peoples" government, where the world "peoples" is contractually defined on behalf of the people and not those who presume to be their betters. The notion of a "social contract" must be under the realization that it is a contract amongst all of us and not as a bipartisan arrangement...
- which allows a few to continue using the present formula of despotic democracy for personal agendas
- which dismissively alienates the majority from being able to fully participate as a member in the political system
- which is presently configured like a guild society with divisions and levels of participation advanced as an equality to serve the purposes of a few over the many.
Here is a 3-part timeline of the above mentioned phrase (though others may have used their own variations in other contexts not readily identifiable), from which the arbitrarily used notions of "people", "self"-government, and the "social contract" theory can be deduced, leading to the current conditions of needing a New Government... because the present one is a montage of nonsense being used by an autistically oriented and functioning bureaucracy whose egotistical "chosen-one" politicization of a religious theme introduces illusions and grandeured delusions by which they come to interpret themselves as being special because of a self-defined speciality, regardless of the over-valued mediocrity of their mundane office manager activity often co-partnered or co-authored with those in religion and business who exhibit varying degrees and types of the suite of mental disorders called the Schizophrenias. (Schizophrenia does not refer to a single disorder nor a single degree or variation thereof. It refers to the multiple variations of reality distorting perceptions we find amongst not only individuals but large institutions as well). Notice that the word "all" is used by one of them but not all three.
- John Wycliffe, (1384): "The Bible is for the Government of the People, by the People, and for the People".
- Theodore Parker, (1858): "Democracy is direct self-government, over all the people, by all the people, for all the people."
- Abraham Lincoln, (1863): ..."and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

It goes without saying that the entire public needs an increased wage in their Inalienable Rights which includes the benefit package of Self-Representation and Self-Determination instead of the present despotically-aligned aristocratically-organized Representative formula of Legislative representation. The people need their own Legislative Branch. In terms of benefits, let us start by giving everyone the same value of goods and services that military personnel have:
Yet, let us be realistic. Since we are confronting a repressively Despotic formula of oppressive Representative Democracy, we must be prepared to initiate a successively "earnest" form of progressive protest because the behavior of Despotic governments is predictably focused on making all others conform to its autocratic rule embellished with democratic labels, instead of agreeing to reform itself according to the collective will of the people because it is neither interested in equality or an advocated increase in the wages and benefits of our Inalienable Rights, whether or not you personally believe in such rights and thus set yourself up for believing yourself to be a champion by excluding yourself from the possibility of despair and defeat through the adoption or deletion of the vernacular and ideological parameters typically used in socio-politico-economic discussions. Nonetheless, despite this digression for pointing out an hypocrisy embraced by would-be promoters of the 'non-voting' population that may spend an inordinate and needless amount of time subjecting themselves to one or another anti-citizen incriminations...
...Let us purge ourselves from such a non-voting silhouette of self-flagellations in order to not overlook the fact that there is no calumny of enterprise that the government will not use in its efforts to force compliance of its status quo orientation because those in its service have learned how to navigate a system designed to keep the majority of the public disenfranchised from a direct participation in government activities to make it more accountable to the needs of the public and humanity overall. In effect, the majority are kept outside the walls of the main body of political and economic influence just as were the serfs of old... and have thus transported the majority back in time to being a "selective servant of the state" characterized as a peasant, with the term "citizen" used as an illusion to make people think they are a full member, instead of a perpetual want-to-be apprentice of the larger political guild.
However, for those who are die-hard voters that unerringly believe in the system, we suggest the following posters be tacked onto your wall:
Nonetheless, despite the foregoing digression, let us be further realistic in acknowledging the U.S. government was not and is not set up as a functional attribute of creating a social environment of overall equality... much less ensure the adoption of specifically outlined equal rights; and therefore does not advance a definitive "mission" statement with "bylaws of Constitutionality" which preeminently focuses on enforcing an inviolable right of the people to honestly exercise a "peoples government." The idea that America has a progressive democracy is as much a joke as a person being unable to recognize that the Social Security system is a Ponzi Scheme, even though it was not intended to be when the idea was first drawn up. It has become yet another gaming technique of the government's which appreciably describes there exists an underlying attrition... an incremental deterioration in the practice of social self-governance. The government has no real interest in equality other than those lip service measures which are enough to induce a level of inebriation in the public to overlook the fact that they are being subjected to a Despotism... a government by a few for a few by exploiting the many. Those who recognize this have acquired a sobriety that is no longer deluded by the illusions being espoused by well-intentioned, but otherwise naive public school teachers who still believe in the textbook nonsense being handed out as a standard social narcotic given to the young. Metaphorically speaking, there is no relative incorporated legislative mechanization which exhibits the three states of natural matter (solids, liquids, gases) such as:
- a mandated (solid) provision for the people to be able to advance their collective voice into law...
- a viable liquidity between the government and the populace which recognizes and defers to the public as the funneling fulcrum...
- nor a (gaseous) "spirit"-of-the-law deferment to the Collective Voice of the People as the True sovereign of the nation.
Instead, we find:
- a solidly administered arrogant recalcitrance of obstinacy against the public in its repeated requests for a redress of all grievances;
- an attitude which prefers liquidating the peoples' resources to assist in enjoining the personal wealth of a few...
- by viewing the people as the undeserving poor who like to suffer and think it their 'station in life' to endure privation for others as an unspoken
martyr for humanity... thus attesting to their believed-in personal physical strengths and mental as well as emotional resilience—
- by viewing the people as insignificant collateral damage who may complain but otherwise accept what they are given because they are too cowardly to do
otherwise on their own... having been socially taught they must do everything as a group... to be a team player with a herd mentality—
- or the people become used as patriotically labeled cannon fodder or democratically defined sacrificial lambs in wars instigated for nothing other than some commercial interest as the underlying character of real intention and motivation concealed in specious claims of assisting others in freedom, liberty, justice and a level of "real" democracy that their own public does not themselves have—
- by viewing the people as the undeserving poor who like to suffer and think it their 'station in life' to endure privation for others as an unspoken
martyr for humanity... thus attesting to their believed-in personal physical strengths and mental as well as emotional resilience—
- or as a worthless commodity which burdens the States' coffers with requests for assistance and would be better off if the people permitted themselves to be used as a gaseous fuel on the pyres of some industrialist's furnace so that their wealth can be increased all the more and provide a kick-back to those in the government (or some confederate) who assisted them in their insatiable striving for more of this, more of that, more of anything and everything ... and let the public be damned if it doesn't like it.
What sort of equality is it when equality is defined by the majority believing in the lie that there is equality or that there is an honestly practiced democracy... albeit in demented representations thereof? Has the greatest level of equality been achieved when everyone is just as blind as everyone else in being unable to perceive the level of inequality and non-democracy which actually exists because their dependency on the illusion is like an addict on a specific drug? What a stupid sense of equality to believe that a corrupt and rigged elections/voting system actually has your best interests at heart! What a profoundly stupid level of practiced equality... where an entire society equally believes in such nonsense. Yes, as a socially taught team player, let us all wait for the other person to believe differently so we can be part of the group. And for those that have already recognized the hypocrisy of government in which we live, we fully acknowledge that you are awaiting some social transformation to take place in order to lift the entire population out of its cesspool of believing in so much ignorance and simply go along with the present game because those are the presently practiced rules being handed out.
Yes, let us all practice the same herd mentality of what equality means so we can be just as stupid as everyone else in being screwed by the politicians and rich who want nothing more than to advance a culture in which being a "team player" in sports, school, employment, religion and all social venues can be used as a means by which ideas and acts of revolution can be suppressed... because everyone waits for others to think, say and do something first. To be a leader means to be a leader of the deluded. However, for those who do achieve some measure of sobriety and see through the social-governing nonsense, we find that the first thing most people do is find some escapism. Some place to go off by themselves. And if confronted, they may become angry and ask, very pointedly, what do you want me to do?!!!... because they have not spent much time thinking for themselves and want direction! Unfortunately, that direction very often is along some course which substitutes one acceptable social narcotic for yet another one, be it some religious group, criminal group, gang group, garden group, exercise group, working group, alcohol drinking group, etc... even if you sit alone... some group is nearby and you measure your presence thereby.
When you live in a culture which does not encourage individual thinking and even rewards those who think of the group whether to assist or exploit, and enforces socialized attitudes of joining this or that group and deferring to the dominant judgment of someone who may be as dumb as a bag of rocks though they have nice clothes, car and house... what are you to do but bury the "you" of who you truly are to that which is an amalgamation of the group... a group that doesn't even recognize that they do not live in a democracy and either participates via a rigged voting system or doesn't participate... advancing some personalized retrospective philosophy without effecting any fruitful changes, because in an effort to be individualistic it has joined a national group of leave-me-aloners instead of participating as an individual in a joint effort to maximize the strength of individuality to be gained from restructuring the government instead of reacting negatively or defensively to this present suggestion and come up with yet another personalized point to advance themselves yet even more deeper into their fortress-of-solitude from which they imagine to lead an army or followers in their personal crusade or preach a fruitless sermon of non-voting rationale from their mount... which has become a pseudo-religion... a cult of non-voters who make plans for nobody, but imagine some personal exaltation and viable epiphany.
