What you are describing is the result of “democracy” which James Madison, aka the Father of our Constitution being its chief architect, warned against because democracies are “as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.” (Madison, The Federalist Papers, Ltr. 10, ¶13.) This is the reason the Framers gave us a constitution that Madison said was “strictly republican.” (The Federalist Papers, Ltr. 39, ¶2.) In a democracy, according the Madison, the majority rules and the rights of the minority always suffer. It is as political system, he explained, that has “ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property” and that has “ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention.” (Madison, The Federalist Papers, Letter 10, ¶13)

In our original Republican Form of Government, Madison explained, “The different governments will control each other, at the same time that each will be controlled by itself.” (Madison, The Federalist Papers, Ltr. 51, ¶9.) He referred to this as a “double security.” What nobody understands anymore is that we destroyed this “double security” when we began to democratize Presidential elections beginning in 1824 and Senatorial elections in 1913. These two changes destroyed the “double security,” and the states completely lost their ability to control the national government. These two changes took that power and placed it in the hands of the political parties, which the Framers eschewed, and the political parties' oligarchy has been controlling the national government and concentrating power into the hands of the national government ever since that time.

You forgot to mention that republics always become corrupt because of the elected representatives. Representatives offer their services to the highest bidder. I would like to see a true democracy, yet the argument that the majority would rule is always used as a scare tactic to shut down further discussion.

I want to vote before going to war, to increase the debt, and decide if new weapons are needed. Instead, we are thrown into military service, pay higher taxes, and are lied to at every important decision.

Switzerland has a system where the citizens vote on numerous referendums, and it seems to work very well. I think an intelligent discussion could offer a similar system. Alas, under our current corrupt Republic, any change to the money machine is immediately shut down. The only hope is a crash-and-burn of the system, which I believe will happen.

I think it was also written that we have the right to reject oru government. If 50 states demanded secession from this government to form one that is consistent with the principals as outlined in our declaration and constitution perhaps we could regain control. I suspect D.C. would declare war upon itself and the 50 states who no longer believe they can lead.

Both the Republicans and Democrats are controlled by Jewish interests. Whether they are bribed by AIPAC , understand the threat of what happened. Should they go against Israel’s narrative or there is no material from Epstein’s Island, our treasonous politicians are not America first.

((They)) will never allow us to solve this through an election!

I mean, it's not only America. It's the same for almost every country. It's all for the same interests of a few, we are all governed by the same group of people. Sounds rather absolute laid out like this but still, and the jewish factor is very strong in all this.

My faith and hope resides only in Jesus Christ. No President is going to save this country, no matter the political party affiliation. I think you misunderstand “support” for a person in office or in any leadership role for a “savior,” John. A political party in power can certainly lead to the downfall of a country. And when the citizenry turn away from God, they are more likely to put demons in power and demons are more apt to get away with voter fraud. There is a party in the US that is a party for death, i.e. abortion, MAiD, freeing murderers, rapists, pedophiles, especially if they are in this country illegally.

Unfortunately, a lot of Christian Zionists portrayed Trump as some sort of Cyrus figure, anointed by God to fix the world through his presidency. They were conned by a Demonic machine and the man himself.

Yep. But our clergy are not familiar with the idea that they play a role. They are setting up church picnics and small group meetings and trying to figure out ancient tribal history. Am writing a book that I hope fires them up, but I fear I will receive the pitchforks and torches response with which John Leake is so familiar.

The Devil$ in the Details. Making Hand Signs to make points to Fabian and Zionist $ocieties up front in our faces! Do you see, hear them on a higher level? SCHEDULED TO MEET BILL @ THE GATES OF HELL until the Earth Freezes Over and they rise out of their underground Bunkers the Decils have built while trying to kill US and everything else on earth GOD has made sacred.

Muslim funded bullshit lies

Muslims do not have a steel grip on the major media outlets of America. Those are ALL owned or directly controlled by Zionist Jews. By all means....please review the ownerships.

Cosmo T Kat's avatar

That's not a counter-argument, that is witless stupidity in written form. This writer has a view point that is well meant, not in support of Islam, but rather an indictment of the very thing this author is writing about and you fell right in line with your ideological bias.

Good Post! With your great investigative mind look into social and cultural JIHAD. This is not a Republican or Democrat issue, and yet it has the potential to impact America, as well as the world, for the uneducated and unsuspecting.

Trying to hover over the events, so Democrats (Biden) allow so many illegals in at a tremendous tax burden for Americans then Trump starts deportation at another tremendous tax burden for the Americans (10,000 more ICE agents, stun gloves, etc). Ukraine that continued debacle and then “ending” that to go into Iran - more taxpayer costs. Bankrupting of the United States and or setting us up for another hit, false flag, food shortage, etc to lower the hammer. At what point does this fraudulent taxpayer funded tug of war between the parties end and how? Popping up my stockpile of popcorn the next event.

Freedom and democracy have long since ceased to exist in the USA and Europe.

Unfortunately, most people do not realize that the political parties and their politicians are all directed by the ruling class.

There is nothing genuine about the politics presented to us; everything is staged.

Politicians are akin to second-rate actors playing assigned roles and strictly adhering to the ruling class's script.

It is a charade designed to give us the illusion of choice, to distract and occupy us, and to divide the population.

The charade of freedom and democracy makes sense to the ruling class only as long as a revolution remains theoretically possible.

I believe the ruling class will put an end to the illusion as soon as their infrastructure for a totalitarian state is fully operational.

Although it has long been obvious that we live under a tyranny, most people cling to the illusion of freedom and democracy.

They identify with a political party and despise the supporters of the opposing party. They mistake political theater for reality, investing emotions such as hatred and hope in it, and squandering valuable time and energy.

They need to read some history books! It usually doesn’t end well for them! The French Revolution would be a good place for them to get a history refresher course! the citizenry needs a refresher course on our constitution and why we have it! And we need to take our rights back, NOW!

Both sides always agree on a war.

Minutes ago, I posted this to (loser) Facebook (and I just added a link to this Substack):

Every. Single. Person. On. Earth. has been deceived or lied to by politicians, news media, corporate shitbags, tech, social media, and people we've come to trust.

I am perfectly comfortable confessing that I've fell for some next level bullshit, especially the partisan kind (defending George Bush after 9/11, etc).

But if you can't be man or woman enough to step up and admit you're a fallible human being, who's vulnerable to deception...and you double-down on patently stupid claims, you deserve whatever shitty outcome befalls you.

Thank you for your deep thinking and insightful writing

LBJ may have been more obviously personally evil than GHW Bush, but they worked together to kill JFK on Friday November 22, 1963, and to wrap it all up neatly afterwards.

Rosa's avatar

So true, unfortunately. Those who genuinely take action and speak on behalf of "we the people" are bashed and eventually squeezed out of congress. Thank you, John!

If the justice system fails the people then, yes, our Declaration of Independence affirms that “it is their duty, to throw off such Government.”

Be careful, my friend, of excluding yourself from this human failure of leadership. Humans are ALL prone to failure in doing good and allowing evil to use our weaknesses to harm. Use your energy to watch over your own weaknesses and less for pointing at others. There are good people in WA quietly doing good things. Maybe better to point toward how improvements can and should be made and support those who do them. Party affiliation doesn’t make the man but those who know their borderline with potential evil will be more prone to lean on the One who keeps us from giving in to human capacity for evil.
