DEMOCRACY IS A SHAM


Is the USA a democracy?

Will Egypt become a democracy?

For 'democracy' to work, you need:

1. Well informed voters. 2. Civilised voters. 3. Honest leaders.

It's all about getting the 'good' people in charge of managing things; and keeping the 'bad' people out of power.

Tim Stanley, at History Today, writes about The Democratic Delusion | Hist

1. He points out that democracy in ancient Athens (6th to 4th centuries BC) meant "an assembly of adult male citizens voting directly on day-to-day matters."

So, an assembly decided to execute Socrates for heresy.

Everyone was expected to go along with that (foolish) decision.

In 427 BC the Athenian assembly debated what to do about a revolt by the Mytilenians of Lesbos.

The assembly decided to send a ship to Mytilene to kill all the adult males and enslave all the women and children.

The following morning the assembly narrowly voted to send a second ship to cancel the order.

According to Tim Stanley, democracy "can descend into mob rule."

That is, in our opinion, if you have poorly-informed and uncivilised voters, led by 'bad' people.

2. According to Tim Stanley, Westerners usually link democracy with "liberty in faith, sexuality, business, speech and thought."

And, democracy "flourishes best when a country has divided powers, elected representatives and a maximum of self-government."

3. Tim Stanley writes: "Democracy as the West comprehends it isn't really democracy at all."

What if the Egyptians get 'democracy' and vote for shariah law?

Tim Stanley makes no mention of the argument that 'democracy' in the West is a sham, and that many of our leaders and institutions are secretly controlled by people who are not 'democrats'.

In his book, Under the Sign of the Scorpion (2002), the Estonian Juri Lina says about 150 million people died as a result of the Bolshevik Revolution, subsidized by the Masonic Jewish banking cartel.

"The West pretended to oppose the Bolsheviks but in fact defended them." (savethemales.ca - USSR - Experiment Was "Social ...)

On 24 June 2010, at Global Research, Andrew Gavin Marshall wrote about: The Global Political Awakening and the New World Order

The top 6,000 people in the world own 40% of the world’s assets.

The bottom 3.4 billion own 1% of world wealth.

In the feudal system, you have scores of top families who control huge amounts of wealth and power by using terror; and by using religion; and bribery; and seduction.

For the feudal system to work, you need the ordinary people to be ignorant and uncivilised.

Today, we appear to have rule by certain top bankers, businessmen and generals.

These are not your honest, good leaders.

DEMOCRACIES, THE PUBLIC'S WISHES, CUSTOMERS' DEMANDS

Website for this image

We have been reading an article called 'They work for us' in The Economist

I quote:

"In liberal democracies ... elections force politicians to take the public's wishes into account...

"Competitive markets force business leaders to heed their customers' demands all the time...

"In liberal democracies the powerful get on by pleasing others.

"In short, they work for us."

~~

This would suggest that the USA is not a liberal democracy.

In the USA the electoral system is rigged in such a way that CIA assets tend to get elected.

Recent presidents have had no intention of heeding the public's wishes on Iraq, Afghanistan or Guantanamo.

And top Americans who commit war crimes usually get away with it.

Those many business leaders who have some sort of monopoly happily ignore those of their customers who dislike being sold junk.

Think of the contempt for customers of such businesses as YouTube and Enron.
