This Is Not the America We Were Promised

The events of the last few years have confirmed that we are no longer a democracy in the sense that we once thought we were - and I know we’re a republic, but follow along with me. The premise of a democracy is that individual citizens can participate in the political process by making their positions known and voting for representatives who they understand will support their views. But those components are under attack here and throughout the West. They are under attack because our garbage elite considers our participation in our own governance to be both morally illegitimate and a practical nuisance... It's intent to make us into serfs, disarmed, disenfranchised serfs who obey in silence.

... the elite doesn't like the policies normal people prefer... The elite don’t like competition from the peasants. It cuts into their action and is generally inconvenient.

What does the elite want? Power. It wants unquestioned power over us that is not subject to any limitations by dissent or appeals to the law. Why do you think they hate the Supreme Court so much? SCOTUS gets in their way when it enforces our rights. Why do you think they hate the Electoral College so much?

Ned details exactly what’s going on here - the creation of an extra-constitutional fourth branch of government that effectively disintermediates citizens from any decision-making and controls every aspect of their lives without being subjected to any sort of accountability. That is the exact opposite of democracy, but it is part and parcel of Our Democracy that the ironically named Democrats embrace. Remember that when they say “Our Democracy,” they mean “ours,” as in “theirs.”...

The elite couldn’t do this without the connivance of the regime media, which is a garbage institution that we should do everything morally and legally possible to destroy. Check out the great Michael Walsh’s new book “Against the Corporate Media: Forty-two Ways the Press Hates You,”...
