TRUSTING OUR SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT
There was a time when I had complete trust and faith in our Government. The system failed me and I lost all trust and faith. I have since regained it with an understanding of the cause of failure. It was not the system as much as it was the individuals employed in our system of government that failed me, and in the process, all citizens of this great nation.
I made the mistake of expected a modicum of honor, a sense of duty, from those employed by our government. Hard lessons have taught me there is no honor among them. The nature of government is such that it attracts into it’s employment those who will sacrifice everything, including their personal honor, for power. The nature of the beast is such that only those that are the most deceitful, willing to embrace extreme hypocrisy, engage in all manners of lies and cover-ups, to protect their self and their fellow government employees, who survive and advance in the bureaucracy of an organization devoid of any competitive pressure to keep it honorable and efficient in providing service to the public.
To those employed in government we are not their "customers" but rather subjects to be exploited by them. The taxes that pay their salaries are not subject to payment to a competitor but are, rather, taken by force and squandered without even limited accountability. They heap glory on their selves for their "public service" while acting as slave-masters to those they are under a duty to serve.
In two respects the genius of our system is able to limit the waste and abuse that is the inherent nature of government; 1) The Separation of Powers, and 2) The Sovereignty of the People both Individually and Collectively. But they have found ways to defeat this.
The Sovereignty of the people as a collective is secured through the Right to Vote. The Sovereignty of the Individual is secured through this right, and those other rights enumerated as inalienable and self-evident, in the Constitution that provides a grant of only limited authority to those vested with the power of government. The "collective" is ephemeral, transient, and non-existent in actual substance. Therefore only Individuals can possess rights. The lie is that "the collective have rights too". The lie is the greatest threat to the safety and security of you and those you love. The collective is nothing more than a composite of individuals. If; individuals have no rights, than neither does the collective.
Today we are all constantly bombarded with propaganda produced and disseminated by those with access to the public coffers. Its purpose is to instill fear and division among the us. The message, from the employees of government, is that we must sacrifice our rights, as an individual, in order that they may protect us, the collective, from other individuals among us. It’s objective is to take from us our sovereignty and subject us to their absolute and arbitrary control as a means of making us their slaves. It is the lie that created the blind trust that enabled those employed in government to victimize me, and countless others, in ways worse than any that could, or would, be perpetrated by a rouge element in society or even an organized crime syndicate. You have always been their victim in subtle ways. You may be the next one to experience the horrors I endured.
YOU MUST STAND UP AND FIGHT FOR THE RIGHTS OF THE INDIVIDUAL YOU DO NOT LIKE. YOU MUST UNDERSTAND IT IS NOT THEIR RIGHTS YOU ARE DEFENDING. IT IS YOUR OWN RIGHTS. IF THEY LOSE THEIRS, YOU HAVE LOST YOURS.
