True Direct Democracy, The 3rd Nemesis Of The Cabal

By John Reid

22 September, 2015
Countercurrents.org

Many of us were raised by our parents to respect those who fought to ensure our freedom and taught that we should vote because the vote is the basis of our freedom. It is what separates us from tyrannies and dictatorships, the right to choose who or which political party represents you. It supposedly keeps the politicians on their toes and is a means of keeping checks and balances.

This is all well and good in a sovereign nation with little or no threat from transnational corporate behemoths, criminal central bankers or treasonous trade deals that 'cannot be refused'. Without such intrusions, elected politicians could focus on what they believe is best for the nation and her people, the vote could possibly mean something and for many years, to some degree it did.

However, times have changed, oh and how they have changed!

Politicians come and go but those who hunger for control, the central bankers, the heads of mega corporations and the generational ultra-wealthy families, have stealthy taken control of almost every aspect of our lives and nations.

For our own sakes, it is imperative to understand how this has turned the tables on us, the people. Things are not what they seem, the system does not work how we were taught it should, not any longer.

Dynamic changes have been taking place which relegate the people to little more than a profitable annoyance.

The political systems throughout the western world no longer afford adequate protection for the people from the insatiable greed of the powerful and wealthy psychopaths who devour anything and anyone in their way.

The systems worked ok for a few decades but this model is now past its shelf life and for our own futures sake we really need to begin asking questions of it. Is the present model valid today, is it the best we can do, should we be entertaining notions of a better way, is there a better way?

What does it mean to say the systems are inadequate to protect us? Please allow me to explain. Because of the relatively recent surge in globalist power, our representatives, even the few who actually care about us, have been relegated to mere agents for the corporations and power elite.

Those who in the past were the vanguard of the nation, the protectors of the welfare of the people have been bought off or coerced into lying down and allowing the globalists to run roughshod over them. They have proven they are now the weak link in the chain, the people and their nation are not represented or protected.

Government trade negotiators now act in the best interests of the globalists and sadly, frequently act as traitors to their own people. What else would you call those who sign the treasonous TPP or TTIP which strips our sovereignty and usurps our environmental laws purely for globalist profit? Let's be clear here and call it for what it is, treason!

The biggest problem for the people is this isn't merely a passing phase or a one-off situation. Now the weak link has been molded and established by the various elements of the cabal, we are on a one way trip to some kind of one-world authoritarian tyranny, should things go their way.

Reducing our elected representatives to treasonous lapdogs is only one part of the problem. Through the mainstream media that the same cabal uses as its propaganda platform, the people are lied to and manipulated to believe they should send their sons and daughters to die for what are really wars of greed instead of security and freedom and our representatives either buy into it or have no choice but to allow it.

The US and Canadian supermarkets are full of GMO foods and many of us feel these have not been tested properly and that we and our children are guinea pigs and what do our elected representatives do for us, nothing! They feel we are not worthy of having our food labelled so that we can choose which food to eat, a huge slap in the face of democracy. Who are they really working for then, obviously not us!

These are just three instances of the people being sold out and there are many more. It really doesn't matter any longer what the reasons are, threats or bribes, we simply have to do something, something which stops what is happening, something which protects the people from this treason, something which completely inhibits the cabal from ever having influence on our nations and people.

One thing for certain is we will not find the answer within the same systems in which this situation was allowed to happen. The systems of governance, whether in Canada, the US, UK are basically set up the same way. Each has the typical top-down-controlled, pyramid system with the masses at the bottom giving their power to the few at the top. This system has failed us via the weak link at the top who could not (and could not really be expected to) protect the people and the nation from the tentacles of the cabal.

So, how do we stop this, how do we fend off a very powerful, well organized cabal that has hijacked our governments and institutions and are readying for the global corporate grand prize of unlimited access to our land and water on the road toward the new world order?

The obvious first answer should be to eliminate the weak link so that the cabal is blocked completely from manipulating and interfering in our lives, our laws, our rights, peace and well-being.

With me so far? Good, because without understanding the underlying causes of the many issues which unnecessarily plague us, we have little chance of finding successful, lasting solutions.

It will serve us to keep in mind that just because we have had such top-down controlled systems in place for millennia, does not mean it must remain that way. The evolutionary pace in most other aspects of our lives, has, especially due to technology, been breath taking, but our governance has not, rather it has slid backwards and our rights and freedoms are devolving instead of evolving.

Back to the weak link issue. Hopefully it is becoming clear that we must make meaningful changes to our political systems. That you understand electing a different political party is nothing more than wishful thinking yet again.

Hopefully you have grasped the fact nothing will really improve with the present hijacked political systems and that the hijackers are never going to release their grip on it all.

Whatever changes we make we must ensure they are comprehensive, as we are way past the 'tinkering' stage.

Thoughts of changes to the political system are of great concern to most people and many will choose to cling to the present systems while turning a blind eye to the growing plethora of issues with them.

However, this is largely in part due to the fact the only possible replacement systems commonly known are undesirable.

It is my own belief that the present systems will soon be included in the list of undesirables and will become just another chapter in our history, with us glad to see the back of them.

But that is not now, and today I read many a comment which begs, "But if we just changed this rule or that, the present political system would still work ok, wouldn't it?"

I completely understand such sentiment which even the awakened are prone to but NO, tinkering with the system will never protect the people from what we are now witnessing today. The entire system must evolve.

However, a complete change may very pleasantly surprise you and once you learn what the core issues are (as discussed earlier) and solid solutions for them, you may be eager to support such change!

What if you could be persuaded that there IS a system which would offer maximum democracy, justice and fairness. A system in which every eligible voter has a real voice which drives the direction of the nation. A system in which we the people decide how free we are to be, which rights we enshrine and which wars we actually need to fight for our security. A system which puts an end to almost all political corruption and drives a stake into the heart of the cabal, would you release your grip on the present system and at least entertain the idea?

About two years ago I gave this much thought. What could be the fairest system for us all as a nation of millions with different ideas, needs, wants, ideologies, religions, etc?

A truly fair and comprehensive democracy should be free from being swayed or biased by any special interest groups including religions and ideologues or those leaders become nothing more than the new politicians, something we can do far better with less of.

Leaders and representatives have a miserable track record and are responsible for allowing so many to die or be maimed in wars of corporate greed.

Under their watch they have also allowed the central bankers to perform the most amazing sleight of hand ever witnessed by man, allowing them to lend invisible money at interest to our nations indebting each and every one of us and that includes generations of unborn who will be born into debt or economic slavery.

They have treasonously obliterated our standards of living by allowing globalists to call ALL the shots to cream ever more profit via outsourcing and free trade deals. Could we do better without these so-called leaders?

Have you noticed that most of the things your family and friends are stressed about or complain about are rooted in the present financial and political systems which have been shaped over time with the blessing or coercion of our elected representatives?

Everything from money problems to being irate over a new law, or the constant fear projected unnecessarily by the mainstream media, are rooted in the present systems overseen by the lurking shadow of the cabal pulling the strings behind the veil.

Each way we turn we are affected by our systems which would be fine if we had more say in them, but we do not, we have almost no say in them today, yet we pay for them and we pay for all the crony decisions made in their name.

A truly positive change in the political and financial systems would also be positively life altering. I don't have space here to elaborate but my free e-book The Organic Economy and my novel As Dawn Approaches explain such a system and when you allow yourself to open your mind about how it would change your life, it is like stepping into a different world, which in truth it would be.

Apart from the fact the people would control the nation's destiny and every voter would decide on all issues, the cabal would have no way of controlling us and the stress levels we take for granted today would diminish or evaporate.

Over time our lives would cease to be driven by greed and materialism, our ambitions no longer driven by brainwashing commercials or what our neighbours have. We would learn that happiness comes from within and from being a part of an empathic, sharing community.

The present lifestyle has driven the human community apart, greed and the 'dog eat dog' attitude has separated us and we have neglected our innermost need of just being human and enjoying being with other humans. Yes, a positive change of systems is a positive change of life.

Knowing what YOU want is the most important thing, for once you are convinced of that, you will change what you will accept in your life, you yourself will change. Others will pick up on this and possibly ask you questions (never preach) and over time you will watch and marvel at how the human collective consciousness works, for that is what drives such change (as per Gandhi).

This is now the time to focus on what you want rather than what you don't want. Refuse to be dragged back down into the fear porn mentality purposely created to block us from collectively creating a better way of life.

Don't give your power to those who make you angry, focus on the world in which you desire to exist. This changes your outlook and has an effect on others even if you don't see it, plus it deflects unnecessary stress.

So, what can we do, what kind of changes could we introduce that would eliminate the woeful 'weak link', give us back our nations and drive the cabal out of our lives?

Answer, allow the people to propose and vote on every law, right, trade deal, and idea. This would in effect, inhibit any and all interference from the cabal in the business of the nation and the people concerning laws, trade deals, bribery, corruption and coercion. The weak link would vanish as each and every voter becomes the power of the nation, impervious to threats, bribery and coercion and free of the cabal.

Any and every issue can be proposed and voted on for changes. Let that sink in for a few minutes or hours, the ramifications are enormous and once you understand this you will never look at the present systems in the same way again.

You may well wonder why we don't already have such a democratic and fair system but such a system would make everyone equal, no one person having any more power than anyone else, the very last thing the establishment wants.

The idea of every eligible voter voting on every issue proposed was something I thought I had dreamed up as I had neverheard of it before.

When I made the free e-book, The Organic Economy, available in March 2014, I had no idea that a similar system of politics was in use in Switzerland. What amazed me is that Switzerland has used this system for 700 years!

The only difference is the Swiss version does have political parties and religious representation, but the people have by far the most personal power in any western democracy. The Swiss can recall politicians at any time and demand referendums on their constitution as well as having the right to vote on all major decisions.

You probably wouldn't be surprised to know that it appears the only 'flies in the ointment' of the Swiss system are the ideologies of the political parties. Again, the top of the 'political pyramid' interfering with the majority will of the people. Do we really need these people, we can do far better without them in the right set up which I cover in my books.

Such a system where every eligible voter has the power to propose and decide all issues is called True Direct Democracy or Pure Direct Democracy. Our present systems are Representative Democracies, but we should rename them ‘Cabal Representative Democracies’!

The only problem with the Swiss model is it is still a top down controlled system to a degree. I believe if we were going to make such a change we may as well go the whole way and eliminate political representation, it isn't needed any longer, we can do a far better job ourselves once you learn how it can work. I know what I have just said may have blown your mind but please bear with me and absorb what this could mean to us all.

With the instant communication and information we have today, we have the capability to run and manage the nation without the self-serving treasonous politicians who do next to nothing for the people.

A panel of people, ‘guardians of democracy’, would oversee every government department to ensure there is no bribery and that the allocation of contracts is fair and unbiased. Panel members would be made up of the people who put forward their names and positions would be kept to one or two year maximums to prevent potential bribery.

(I explain all of the details of how this would work in the free e-book The Organic Economy and my new novel As Dawn Approaches.)

Democracy and the United States.

There is often contention about the word 'democracy' in the US and many Americans refer to democracy as 'mob rule', citing individual rights as the primary factor.

The reality is there really isn't much difference between let's say, the Canadian system which has a Charter of Rights for the people and the election of political representatives, and the US system of a bill of rights for the people coupled with elected political representatives.

Democracy is in use in the US all the time, how does the Senate and Congress pass laws, is it not by majority vote? Are not ALL decisions based on a show of hands a display of democracy rather than mob rule?

The 'True Direct Democracy' discussed in this article is the most fair and just system possible. Every eligible voter partakes in all decisions and can suggest ideas to be voted on by the people. As in the Senate and Congress and our Parliament, the majority carries the decision. The people are also free to propose and vote to repeal any law or statute they find doesn't work for them. It is up to the people, period, and that would be defined as democracy, true democracy.
I did research this because living in Canada I was confused when I heard democracy called 'mob rule' by an American, I was very surprised to be honest. The material I read said there was little real difference between a democracy and a constitutional republic.

However, as we now see, Constitutions, Bills of Rights and Charters of rights and freedoms are toothlessand of little real individual protection. The US Constitution is in shreds today with the introduction of the likes of the NDAA and Canada's Charter means little since the recently enacted Bill C-51.

This is part and parcel of why I wrote The Organic Economy, we the people really have no individual protection from the state today.

Is it worth changing the systems? Just think of all the things which make you angry about your various governments, all of them, then imagine that anger evaporating and the stress vanishing as you realise you, your family, your friends and your fellow country folk could have a real voice, could collectively steer the nation forward in the direction the majority desire.

Imagine never having to listen to the political rhetoric and lies we hear daily, never having to submit to the few who send our children to wars of greed, never having to be left wing or right wing or socialist or capitalist, just proposing ideas and voting on what you feel is right.

Imagine not having to be shoe horned into only ever voting for one party or the other, knowing they are already owned by the cabal.

Imagine taking back your rightful power and being as powerful as any other person in the land by having the ability to vote on any and all trade deals, laws and when necessary, wars.

Imagine a new way of thinking, a way that ultimately changes your life because there would no longer be politics and ideology, to fight, argue and vote over, rather it would be about the only truly important thing for each and every one of us, humanity.

Did we evolve as humans to be left wing or right wing or socialist or capitalist, this or that or any other of the many labels? No, we are today collectively the result of giving our power to a few who have, over time, forced us to be anything but human. We can have that back, we can relearn to become who and what we truly are, not a stressed out, worried populace separated by insignificant labels, but a global family knowing that what is best for our family, friends and neighbours is also best for us.

The following are the key points;

1. For our freedom, liberty and sanity, our systems cannot continue in their present form. Our quality of life continues to degrade leaving increasing numbers of the population in despair.

2. This situation (when understood by thorough research) will only worsen until we have zero freedom.

3. The present systems will never save us, they have been completely compromised leaving we the people totally vulnerable to the globalist hawks who will not stop until they have picked our bones clean.

4. It is time for what may be our final evolution, an evolution of the mind, of belief, of thought. To sit back and think long and hard about what life is about, what truly makes us happy and the direction we wish our nations to take.

5. Now is the time to educate yourself about what we can do and to then help educate others who may ask you.

Hint, don't be sidetracked by the common first response, "It'll never happen." That is the self-policing mind's first defence in the present paradigm and your response should be, "I never mentioned it could happen, I just asked if you would prefer a new system."

Congratulations, you have just shattered the first line of defence and have pierced open their veil letting in a glimmer of light, you have planted the seeds of new ideas, new thought, that's all you need to do.

6. Do not be concerned with how such a change in the systems could possibly occur. It is a process and it is under way.

Imagine if we all thought as the children of an African tribe did when asked why they all held hands and walked toward the candy placed in the tree instead of racing toward it as a prize for the fastest runner.

"How could I be happy if my friends aren't happy?"

Such a beautifully simple reply, a reply from the heart of humanity. A humanity we in the west have either lost or never known.

Almost everything in western society revolves around self, it has to lest we fail and the price of failure is a heavy burden in our society.

We can change this, we really can if we understand it is time to reflect holistically on everything about our lives and realise we have to rid ourselves of the cabal by eliminating the weak link and giving the power to those who live with the results of all decisions, the people.

True Direct Democracy would enable us to enjoy the greatest freedom we have ever known and, just as importantly, free us from the tentacles of the cabal.

Footnote;

Most people, including many of those who have 'awakened', refuse to even consider such a change, preferring to cling to the status quo no matter how bad it is. This is due to being a product of this paradigm and entrenched belief's which I cover in detail in another article "Changing Beliefs, The Gateway To Freedom."
