Mistakes were not made. Pelosi and the rest of the hand-wringing congressional parasites who screech about "threats to our democracy!" know damn well what they are saying....and the funny thing is, they aren't exactly lying. Their little DC fifedom IS a corporation; they are its board of directors....and yes, the method of governance that it utilizes is as democratic as the Senate of ancient Rome, which is where the model was taken from. The lie has been perpetuated is that this group is "the government". They are not the government, nor are any of the too-numerous-to-count departments, bureaus, agencies, branches et al of every level of federal, state and local "authority" the actual government. They are all corporations, each distinct and separately chartered, and with its own Dunn&Bradstreet number. They are all government service agencies, who WeThePeople contracted to perform specific, limited tasks on our behalf. We were ALWAYS supposed to have maintained the original Republican form of government at our local, county and country ('state) level and held them in check. We didn't, though......we let our responsibility to be the checks and balances lapse. Now, we are faced with the enormous task of figuring out how to take that responsibility back and bring them to heel after generations of our people have grown up being brainwashed into believe that the racketeering group of bad actors is our actual government.
All of them are complicit; all of them. Each and every governor, secretary of state, congress at state and federal levels, Trump, RFKJr....all of them. They all know damn well that their very language is deceptive and continues to perpetuate the fraud and identity theft that has been levied against WeThePeople. And mistakes were not made; it is as deliberate and premeditated as the covid-con.
Agree with your points with one caveat. That is, a Democracy is a top-down tyranny of the majority which plays very well with most in DC, especially the Democrats and the Uni-party Republicans. I believe Trump is the best representative of a Constitutional Republic because he derives his support from the grassroots up. It is the bottom up governance recognizing the individual.
I won't get into stolen election discussions here, but Trump had 75+ million votes in 2020, more than the savior Barack Obama did in his elections. Trump's support continues to grow. Why? I believe it is because he appeals to - speaks to - the average, everyday American. He understands their needs and hopes. He is building a bottom-up constituency of INDIVIDUALS necessary in a Constitutional Republic. He isn't perfect by far, but he is the closest candidate we have to renewing our Constitution as a guiding document.
I agree with you about Trump being the best option available for that position and we were a whole lot better off in the four years before the current regime than any other time in recent memory! The only thing is....he's still going to be president of the corporate jurisdiction, and not the actual Republic. He cannot be that as he has been elected by 14th Amendment citizens under statute, who are corporate citizen/taxpayers. This corporate political status is what the majority of people now fall under; they are not the Americans that they always thought that they are. Only living men and women standing on the land and soil of the organic, unincorporated states...the people of the Republican form of government that is the true checks and balances to the corporate regime... can elect a president of the unincorporated Republic. In a true constitutional republic, the power begins and ends with Article 4, Section 2(A) Citizens under Public Law; those who are the declared State Nationals, who have sworn allegience to one of organic nation states. That is the distinction that continues to be ignored by David Straight, Bobby Lawrence, and all the other folks who keep waving the Trump flag while speaking about the Republic. Trump may or may not have dissolved the corporate structure, as they have been claiming; it is certainly in his right to do so as president of the corporation, but he has no authority to preside over the Union, which is the foundation that granted authority to these corporations in the first place.
The Trump that pardoned Jewish criminals but not those entrapped on Jan 6th and still held as political prisoners due to his calling them to DC to massage his ego?
Are you talking about the Trump who never could get the wall built nor stop Antifa and BLM from burning down our cities? The Trump who set the precedent for issuing an EO on guns by banning bump stocks? The Trump who said, I like taking their guns first and due process later? That Trump?
Are you talking about Lockdown Trump and all the "non-essentials" (his base) he bankrupted and put out of business while injecting trillions into the economy of which most went to big boys? And who also gave us the poison injection in record time? That Trump?
I knew I was going to like this article as soon as I read the title. Since the beginning of my political awakening 30 years ago, I notice it when people mix up the words constitutional republic and democracy or when they use “democracy” when seeming to mean “constitutional republic” or when they use them interchangeably.
In recent years, I have noticed a great many people - even people who should know better - calling the U. S. system of government a “democracy.” Democracy seems to be all the rage around the world. It is spoken of in glowing terms - something to boast about if a country is one and something to aim for if a country isn’t.
And I wonder why such prominent people (and I’m speaking about people who really seem to be in favor of liberty, not mainstream media brainwashed people) use positively a word that contradicts what they seem to be promoting.
Many have explained democracy as two wolves and a sheep deciding what’s for dinner. It is so easy to understand, but the truth of this is lost to most people who hear democracy continually lauded.
It feels pretty hopeless to try to correct people, but maybe I will continue to try…
Excellent article, thank you for this eloquent framework. I have intuitively perceived for some time that the celebrated concept of democracy is nothing but more doublethink and a treacherous trap door leading to the woke hive world. LOL, there we go, I am starting to despise anything that even smells of virtue!
Thank you John. If you have not already done so, read "The Indoctrinated Brain". Describes the assault on the human hippocampus by the covid program and "spiking". There obviously was nothing in the gene-therapy shots related to human health. Peace.
I fully agree with the idea that a just government should be rooted most firmly in broadly defined individuals rights envisioned as restrictions on state power and enshrined in an express constitutional form; however, I think you are barking up the wrong tree.
A pure and despotic democracy would be better than what we have right now. Even misled by the most ill intentioned charismatic leader, no majority of citizens would vote to have their own lives taken in population control schemes. Yet that is precisely the object of numerous public policies: to murder or injure large masses of people, ideally without their knowledge and with legal impunity.
No one votes to have themselves and their family poisoned. At worst they might agree to punish some minority of other citizens in such a way but the schemes of our current ruling despots aim at a far broader target as evinced by the billions of vaccine doses administered.
Government based on the elitist concept that humanity requires culling, eugenics and transhumanism is not democratic and not based on any concept of 'public good.' It is based on the assertion of superiority by an extreme minority-- a superiority that they believe allows them to decide the fate of the human race and to end the lives of humans as they see fit.
I mean ffs do you really think I copied and pasted such a damn well written comment that exactly addresses the argument you advanced in your article WITHOUT READING IT? How insulting. And how could that even be possible??
Yes. I studied in a field that requires rapid reading. You are addressing the use of the concept of public good as a manifestation of democratic sentiment, when the appeals to public good are just a pretext. They are window-dressing for something far more rapacious. Do you want to deal with murderers on the level of their pretextual justification for their crimes?
By treating the common good as a plausible justification for masking, tracking, tracing, vaccinating, hospital treatment protocols, travel restrictions, etc, you make their claim of working for the public good plausible. Public health claims they were putting the collective good above individual freedoms and you are vitiating that claim by making this about democratic principles versus individual rights.
It isn't. This was never about any collective good, if such a thing even exists. I reject the premise entirely. No one could benefit from receiving deadly injections intended to do harm. Nothing about them could redound to any concept of collective good whatsoever. It was about the advancement of a globalist, elitist vision by a very small minority. They certainly weren't aiming for any good for anyone other than their fellow travelers.
That aside, I think it is rude to suggest I didn't read this. Did you read my comment before assuming I did not read your article? I guess I am wasting my time here. I won't be responding to any more comments as I can see that it is fruitless.
"A pure and despotic democracy would be better than what we have right now." - translation - communism. You completely miss the point of John's post & pretty much do not have a clue as to what you are writing about. Peace.
In my observation, yes, the clueless masses are guilt-tripped into follow the beliefs and virtues of the Lobby because they have been robbed of information. In addition most sadly will rather accept great discomfort than stepping out of line in their social network.

And I have conversed with many of this lobby who own great conviction that humanity is a plague onto this world and that it would be much better off without them. So you see there is a heavy driver of self- condemnation derived from the false religion, often to the degree of accepting their own demise to save the planet. If you live in Canada, this has been facilitated by legalizing MAID, (medically assisted death) and this is no joke or coincidence.

Sorry, the usual stick-in-the-mud misconception from the past and present with lots of etymology See democracy (in the sense of votes being cast) instead not positively and oppressively but as the power of veto: the emergency stop cord on the runaway train. Majority votes are there to halt the schemes of madmen, not implement novel machinations. Begin with deselection by popular vote of rogue judges, heads of police and the like.

Censure and cashiering of public officials by (fair and open) vote is a solid idea. It is hard to imagine democide enacted and supported by a popular majority.
"It is hard to imagine democide enacted and supported by a popular majority." - Really? You are so far off base and disconnected from reality that I will no longer comment on this post. Wow. Peace.
Heck we don't even need representatives... Why not just do direct voting? It's not gonna be any worse than the crooked people we got representing us!
Keep in mind that The Constitution was so lacking that they had to AMEND it with the bill of rights, because people were protesting the lack of rights in the Constitution!
You have a democracy where the majority rules...until the majority are bought off by the power hungry control freaks. Happens every time. In any form of government, and that includes all forms of government, there will always, and that means every single cotton-picking time, be enough power hungry anti-human parasites willing to do anything to gain control. That includes mass murder.
There is NO government that can ever survive if the citizens have complete control. Impossible! That means if that were to happen, there would be no government and no need for any government. And where do we find that today? Nowhere.
Thank you. Would that basic civics instruction could return to the schools.
PS I think giving out copies of this book, as many as one can afford, is an excellent idea. I do what I can in this regard. I sometimes leave books of covid counternarrative on public transport seats, or, say, on a table in the public library. Someone, who knows who, but someone will see it. They will have to look at the cover, at least. Whether they choose to read it is up to them, but at least, having seen the book, maybe even having held the book in their hand, they have the option. Because of the censorship, so many people still have no clue of the extent to which they're being lied to by the mainstream media.
I need to fix that. I've tried different avenues to no avail.
If you know any little bookstore or publisher that has the ability to hold inventory, ship books, and charge customers through an online store, please let me know. They can make an easy few thousand dollars, or if the book does well, they can make tens of thousands of dollars. I will find and contract with a European printer local to the seller and then pay the printing fees up front. Has to be a legitimate business that won't do anything nefarious like breaching the contract and not paying me after I pay for all the books to be printed.
" After all, We The People constituted the United States government, through representatives, at the Constitutional Convention."
Wrong. Read the antifederalists and Lysander Spooner's, "The Constitution of No Authority."
“The Constitution looked fairly good on paper, but it was NOT A POPULAR document; people were suspicious of it, and suspicious of the enabling legislation that was being erected upon it. There was some ground for this. The Constitution had been laid down under unacceptable auspices; its history had been that of a coup d'état.
“It had been drafted, in the first place, by men representing special economic interests. Four-fifths of them were public creditors, one-third were land speculators, and one-fifth represented interests in shipping, manufacturing, and merchandising. Most of them were lawyers. Not one of them represented the interest of production — Vilescit origine tali. (the dice were loaded from the start)
Albert Jay Nock, Liberty vs. the Constitution: The Early Struggle
"When we have made our constitution purely democratic, thinks to himself the earnest reformer, we shall have brought government into harmony with absolute justice. Such a faith, though perhaps needful for the age, is a very erroneous one. By no process can coercion be made equitable."
- Herbert Spencer, Social Statics [1851]. chap 20, The Right to Ignore the State, p 210
As a matter of fact, it was NEVER a "people's Constitution", as has been so frequently claimed at Presidential elections, and on other similar occasions. They, the people, were never very much interested, either in the project itself or in the ratification of a form of national government. They did not particularly want anything of the sort and they did not like what came out of Philadelphia, but this distaste was not strong enough to overcome their natural lethargy, so only about five percent of the white male population voted as to whether the Constitution should be accepted or rejected. As it was, it only got by by the skin of its teeth and by some very clever management on the part of its proponents. The whole thing, in conception, formulation, and realization, was
the work of a small group of enthusiastic young men of property and position, with wiser heads on their shoulders than their years would argue as rationally possible, though they were not wise enough to foresee the unimaginable — but inevitable.
-Ralph Adams Cram, Nemesis of Democracy - PDF - , The American Review, December 1936, pp. 129-141
Perhaps I am a little too OCD because I have always had a problem with both Dems and Repubs calling our government a democracy. This substack makes it perfectly clear why it isn't. Now for the OCD part. I also can't stand it when all of media and all politicians refer to the Democrat party as the Democratic party.
There is no such thing as the Democratic Party. It is DEMOCRAT party. Perhaps this constant media lexicon mix-up is intentional and is why there is such a broad and incorrect reference to Democracy.
Please email sales@TheRealCdC.com and ask what happened to the order. You should have received it at least a week ago. Sorry for any confusion.

“It had been drafted, in the first place, by men representing special economic interests. Four-fifths of them were public creditors, one-third were land speculators, and one-fifth represented interests in shipping, manufacturing, and merchandising. Most of them were lawyers. Not one of them represented the interest of production — Vilescit origine tali. (the dice were loaded from the start)

"When we have made our constitution purely democratic, thinks to himself the earnest reformer, we shall have brought government into harmony with absolute justice. Such a faith, though perhaps needful for the age, is a very erroneous one. By no process can coercion be made equitable."
- Herbert Spencer, Social Statics [1851]. chap 20, The Right to Ignore the State, p 210

As a matter of fact, it was NEVER a "people's Constitution", as has been so frequently claimed at Presidential elections, and on other similar occasions. They, the people, were never very much interested, either in the project itself or in the ratification of a form of national government. They did not particularly want anything of the sort and they did not like what came out of Philadelphia, but this distaste was not strong enough to overcome their natural lethargy, so only about five percent of the white male population voted as to whether the Constitution should be accepted or rejected. As it was, it only got by by the skin of its teeth and by some very clever management on the part of its proponents. The whole thing, in conception, formulation, and realization, was
the work of a small group of enthusiastic young men of property and position, with wiser heads on their shoulders than their years would argue as rationally possible, though they were not wise enough to foresee the unimaginable — but inevitable.

Perhaps I am a little too OCD because I have always had a problem with both Dems and Repubs calling our government a democracy. This substack makes it perfectly clear why it isn't. Now for the OCD part. I also can't stand it when all of media and all politicians refer to the Democrat party as the Democratic party.
There is no such thing as the Democratic Party. It is DEMOCRAT party. Perhaps this constant media lexicon mix-up is intentional and is why there is such a broad and incorrect reference to Democracy.
Outstanding! Thank you.
Just so i make sure i get your book--a while back i pre-ordered. Im guessing it hasnt actually been released yet or do i need to order again?
Please email sales@TheRealCdC.com and ask what happened to the order. You should have received it at least a week ago. Sorry for any confusion. All but two orders were filled as of yesterday and that's because the two ordered eBooks and did not give an email address to send them to. And did not respond to text messages.
Thanks. Im on it.
