There is a political and
subversive word that has been created and is promoted by the establishment as a
major key to formulate and channel the public mind. The word has more than
saturated the public conscience. It’s uttered hundreds of times a day on
political talk shows and in the halls of government. Very “intellectual” people
spout this word assuming it means human freedom and liberty.
But this word has a dark and
hidden meaning. It is a cover and disguise for fascism and socialism and
tyranny.
It is workhorse of the
American propaganda ministry. It is taught in schools (government
indoctrination centers) as the source of all freedoms. Politicians love to hear
it and use it. Adolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbels used it. The word is
“democracy.”
Mainstream Democrats and
government propaganda media political pundits are clamoring for the end of the
Electoral College. Why? “Democracy.”
This is not new. They say
that the Electoral College is an affront to freedom because it prevents
democracy. After all, Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. But the Electoral
College gave us what they have determined is an abomination of a president in
Donald Trump.
Electors had not even yet
met to cast their Electoral College (EC) votes for Trump in December 2016
before Senator Barbara Boxer had introduced a bill to abolish the EC. Boxer’s
bill was followed by the predictable propaganda from government propaganda
organs claiming it’s time to do away with the “archaic” EC and become a “real
democracy.” As we approach another presidential election the calls for
“democracy” in elections have only grown louder.
In April, leading Democrat
senators took a new swipe at the EC, introducing a new bill to abolish it. Most
of the leading contenders for the Democrat presidential nomination support the
bill.
Abolishing it this way will
be long shot as it will have to happen via constitutional amendment. The
process for amending the Constitution through congress requires approval by
two-thirds of both houses of congress plus ratification by three-fourths of the
states. But there is an attempted work-around under way.
Called the National Popular
Vote Interstate Compact, a growing number of blue states have signed on to a
process by which their electoral votes would go to the presidential candidate
that wins the national popular vote, regardless of how their state voted.
So far, 14 states and the
District of Columbia have signed on. They represent 189 electoral votes, just
81 short of the 270 needed for election. Many leftists applaud this movement,
not recognizing or caring — or perhaps even embracing — that it will disenfranchise
them if their state happens to vote one way while the popular vote goes
another.
Proponents of eliminating
the EC claim it will make the U.S. more “democratic.” And therein lies the rub.
Democracy is an esoteric
belief system that manipulates the people in such a way that all power flows to
the state. As with pure dictatorships, power flows from the top down.
Democracy implies freedom in
the public’s mind while power and wealth is constantly channeled to the federal
government. Human liberty is regressively crushed under “democracy.”
Democracy is a political
word that is embraced by all political parties and all politicians under many
labels in every country of the modern world. It is a cover and a facade for
communism, socialism, fascism, for class warfare, for the exploitation and
manipulation of minorities against stability, cultural heritage and private
property. (By the way; communism, socialism and fascism are all equal. Don’t be
fooled by claims that one is a right wing and another is a left wing
philosophy. They all transfer power to the state. The difference is simply
semantics.)
When politicians utter the
word democracy, they are using a code word that signifies their total
allegiance to the state. They are using mass hypnosis to manipulate the people
against human liberty.
The U.S. was founded as a
republic. When asked what type of government they had created, Benjamin
Franklin replied, “A republic, if you can keep it.”
The Founding Fathers feared
two things above all else: a democracy and an overly powerful executive. The
Electoral College was designed to prevent both. For a good history of the
Electoral College and its evolution over the years, read “Origins of the Electoral College,” by Randall G. Holcombe.
In Article II, Section 1 of
the U.S. Constitution, the Founders established the method of electing the
president, with electors from each state, not the people — the number of
electors being equal to the states’ congressional delegations — casting their
votes for president. The candidate getting a majority of the electoral votes
would be named president. If no candidate received a majority the House of
Representatives would select the president from the top three vote-getters.
The people played little
part in early presidential elections. Instead, presidents prior to 1828 were
selected by political elites.
The election process has
drifted far from where the Founders intended. Still, the Electoral College is
essential for preventing the U.S. from becoming a democracy with the president
elected by popular vote.
Democracies are mob rule or
groupism. Democracy is anathema to individual liberty. Democracy is tyranny
with a pretty face.
Without the Electoral
College a presidential candidate would merely have to win a big majority of the
population in the five or six of the most populace states to carry the election
— say California, New York, Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida. As it is,
Democrats hold a decisive advantage in the Electoral College math because they
advocate for socialism. Minorities love socialism, and minorities tend to
congregate in the urban areas.
In a Facebook post, the
Uncle Sam’s Misguided Children group explained it this way:
ELECTORAL COLLEGE
It’s a safety net so that
EVERYONE’s vote counts.
1: There are 3,141 counties
in the United States. Trump won 3,084 of them. Clinton won 57.
2: There are 62 counties in
New York State. Trump won 46 of them. Clinton won 16.
3: Clinton won the popular
vote by approx. 1.5 million votes.
4: In the 5 counties that
encompass NYC, (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Richmond & Queens) Clinton
received well over 2 million more votes than Trump. (Clinton only won 4 of
these counties; Trump won Richmond) Therefore these 5 counties alone, more than
accounted for Clinton winning the popular vote of the entire country.
5: These 5 counties comprise
319 square miles. The United States is comprised of 3,797,000 square miles.
6: When you have a country
that encompasses almost 4 million square miles of territory, it would be
ludicrous to even suggest that the vote of those who inhabit a mere 319 square
miles should dictate the outcome of a national election.
Large, densely populated
Democrat cities (NYC, Chicago, LA, etc) don’t and shouldn’t speak for the rest
of the country.
And this is WHY you have an
Electoral College.
And even if “democracy” did
equal freedom, how is a presidential election based on the outcome of the vote
of five New York counties in any way “democracy?”
Anyone seeking human
liberty, privacy and private property under the mental deception of democracy
is under the greatest illusion. Let us purge our minds of this seductive
appeal, this spiritual despotism. It has stolen our conscience, our soul and
our honor. It is our legacy to future generations to whom we are passing on our
slavery. Shame could have no greater victory.
Democracy is a faith, a
state religion, a state of mind. It is the progressive destruction of the
person — the individual. It is covered and masked with benevolence,
philanthropy and brotherhood. Democracy is the opposite of the common belief.
It is “democratic” tyranny, a camouflage for despotism. Its goal is nothing
less than universal slavery.
If the people imagine that they
are free, all sorts of crimes by the political system can be imposed, without
protest, upon the people. It is an invisible armed guard.
Mental democracy is a
psychological weapon of the state that motivates the people to obey the system
and to love the state. As George Orwell wrote in his book, 1984, the people
come to love Big Brother (the state).
The elimination of the
Electoral College will not usher in “democracy.” It will usher in the complete
end of personal freedom and liberty. Remember that Hitler said Germany was a
“democracy in the best sense of the word.”
