Get ready for the big news, folks! You better sit down for this one. Are you ready? Here it is…
DEMOCRACY HAS BEEN INVERTED!
No, really! When you hear democracy, I bet you think of something like “rule of the people”, right?
Well, guess what? That’s not what democracy means anymore!
I know. Mind blown!
So, what is democracy now?
“Oh, it's the military, it's NATO, it's the IMF and the World Bank. It's the mainstream media, it is the NGOs, and of course, these NGOs are largely state department-funded or IC-funded. It's essentially all of the elite establishments that were under threat from the rise of domestic populism that declared their own consensus to be the new definition of democracy.
Because if you define democracy as being the strength of democratic institutions rather than a focus on the will of the voters, then what you're left with is essentially democracy is just the consensus-building architecture within the Democrat institutions themselves.
And from their perspective, that takes a lot of work. I mean, the amount of work these people do. I mean, for example, we mentioned the Atlantic Council, which is one of these big coordinating mechanisms for the oil and gas industry in a region for the finance and the JP Morgans and the BlackRocks in a region for the NGOs in the region, for the media, in the region, all of these need to reach a consensus, and that process takes a lot of time, it takes a lot of work and a lot of negotiation from their perspective.
That's democracy. Democracy is getting the NGOs to agree with BlackRock, to agree with the Wall Street Journal, to agree with the community and activist groups who are onboarded with respect to a particular initiative that is the difficult vote building process from their perspective.”
Boy, talk about epiphanies!
Democracy as a totalitarian power network that exists only to defend and propagate itself while simultaneously censoring, oppressing, and terrorizing the people?
Never in the history of the world has such an inversion of democracy taken place.
German Democratic Republic (1949 to 1990)
To think that democracy has nothing at all with the will of the people. That it’s just a game of smoke and mirrors meant to keep totalitarians in charge. Man, that’s something fresh.
Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (1948 to Present)
Here’s the kicker. Criticize the totalitarian power structure in the inverted democracies that comprise the West, and the totalitarian state will brand you a threat to democracy and an enemy of the people.
And let’s be honest, there’s nothing more reprehensible than an enemy of the people.
After all, democracy is there to protect the people from such enemies. When all is said and done, totalitarians are “people” people.
The People’s Republic of China (1949 to Present)
So, what are we to do? Isn’t it obvious? We have to win back our democracies! Our real democracies! Not the fake kind we have been sold by the intricate network of elite totalitarian organizations.
Well, there is one small problem with that line of thinking. It can be summarized as follows:
Granted, he didn’t believe in God and thought Jesus experienced great disillusionment on the cross, but even from the foundation of those limited metaphysical assumptions, guru man was able to express the following insight-- an insight that seems utterly beyond the scope of most modern Westerners when it comes to Of the people, by the people, for the people:
Listen: I’ll come right out and say it.
The supposed inversion of democracy is itself an inversion.
It keeps individuals focused on the wrong things and prevents them from thinking about the things they really, really, really need to think about.
