How Now Agree Wow?  Rare Honest Government with fair,

equal, open, responsible, accountable & efficient

 

How do US Democratic governments share, agree & decide what to be & do?

        Most US, state, County & local governments are corrupt expecting privilege & profit$, subsidies & lies will believed or ignored by voters.

                   ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~  ~~

Do we really know how Democracy works?  We need living examples of groups doing it openly sharing, cooperating, agreeing & work-ing together beyond their meetings of honest & fair decisions.   Democracy is a funny joke for rich, fear of God to churches.   Who makes the agreements we live under? rules by law & fears of government as protests are called ÒterrorismÓ threatening to corrupt industries, sicking the cops on protestors demanding civil rights & honesty!   

 

Most governments are for sale to hiest bidder of elections donations & of giant contracts for government services: road, bridges, tunnels, heating & electric systems, sports stadiums, rivers, airports, schools, etc.  most groups agreements are insiders secrets except for public rules, contracts, market-ing, policies, etc.  Even worse is empires setting up govern-ments & killing ones opposing raping their resources, no agreeing with empirisms of global corporations & war economy.

 

What about the Democratic partyÓ is it democratic or just liberal do-gooders, fake fairness & honesty?  Do we really know how democrats believe, vote & make agreement = deal with reps of corporations offing big contracts to bless their district with profiting for owners.  How much waste happens form any contract, program or service done in our districts, thatÕs hidden, toxic or unknown? Are there any claimed damages from any pollution made by who?

 

 Are there any law suits? Restraining or desist order now against any corps with government contracts?  Who & whatÕs the offence theyÕre been accused of? WhatÕs the evidence & damages charged?  How open, honest & accountable are agencies & the contractors they claim to supervise the on site work & resource extraction, process & transport to fill the requirements of agreements.  WhatÕs the damage to any bioregional ecology for any of their resources extraction, process or building in natural ecozones as what costs?  Are any secrets hidden from public about budgets, profits, costs, damage or work required?  Any secret payoffs, bribes or sweet deals to friends in closed bidding?   Any crimes of fraud, deception or conspiracy?

 

How do we trust within ÔdemocraticÕ government, paying taxes, obeying laws & following rules of elections campaigns mostly paid-for by the rich?  What is ÒbondingÓ a bank contract or family trust in fair decision making with honesty? So lets create a new democracy of trust, sharing truth agreeing & committing to collective goals, projects, responsibilities in roles doing whatÕs needed for our civil rights of happiness, equality, fairness, privacy & gathering as we choose.  Where are living democracies working cooperatively together now with social-equality, fair respect for human rites of free-will meeting, making, changing & keeping agreements as needed for harmony, peace & natural health?  Are any public or volunteer groups functioning with deeply ÔdemocraticÕ grouprocess of meeting, sharing, trusting, agreeing & cooperating fairly?

     

We didnÕt know what true ÔDemocracyÕ is from most local city, state & US government Congress & agencies making agreements, goals, programs, policy, budgets & responsible people doing them.  They only change if massive damage, debt or public protest & demands they reorient priorities & goals. WeÕve inherited a political system called ÔdemocraticÕ but more patriarchy, authority & secrecy ruled, than open, fair, honest & responsible to people paying taxes & governed by policy & laws.

 

We have millions of hierarchies of power pyramids with bosses at the top ordering down the ranks of servants, all empires do glory in their social power & techy controls.  Who knows how real democracy works to even challenge our corrupt democracy, beyond court battles where Constitutional law of Ôcivil rightsÕ is denied as defense in most cases, except on appeals usually denied.

 

So social equality is forbidden in all institutions of seniority controlled by old expert pros, even  if their unaware of needs for innovations & damage to human & natural health form industrial waste.  A pandemic corruption is corporations have Ôcivil rightsÕ of citizens who canÕt afford to sue corps for damages.

          The history of governments in last 4,000 years of western civilization from Egypt, Greece & Roman empires has never had Ôgrass roots democracyÕ, only rebels battling or leaving their territory,  But the Greco-Romans had semi ÔdemocraticÕ legislatures representing the rich elite voting on their policies of war, economics, building & morals.  Even the western Inca, Maya & Aztec were patriarchy run hierarchy of warring, power grids, gods & death worshipping cultures.  Now we have 1000s of hierarchies in every institution, big science, mass media, industry & government.  ÔDemocracyÕ there is a Ôstoner hippy pipe-dreamÕ of social equality, like blacks & Mexicans wanting freedom & civil rights, ha, ha, ha!

        

So whatÕs new in USA now fake democraticÕ society 200 years after the American revolu-tion run by rich elite male slave-holding land-owners taking the Iroquois 6 nations Confederacy as model for US Declaration of Indepen-dence, Articles of Confederation & US Constitution.  We have revolutionary hi-tech century after Edison/Tesla energized building our world empire economy.

 

We killed off most native Indians & forgot our democracyÕ ideal from Iroquois Indians in 1700s 6 nations cooperating together in harmony, peace & equality. Apparently we had to deny that to conquer & the Indians for their rich land our west, forcing the remaining Indians onto barren wasteland ÔreservationsÕ while US city people paid taxes for military to protect US form Indian raid of self protecting sovereignty, rage or revenge.

 

WeÕve progressed in cities, technology & wealth so much & fast weÕve lost our ÔDemocracyÕ & naturalness stolen by industry mono-poly & war economy, did US ever have a true democracy?  Rare Ôblack & womenÕsÕ civil-rights until 20th century finally granted after vast protests & demands for equality.  As menÕs  ÔYankee ingenuityÕ of super-tech engineering & killing nature & enemies in world wars protecting & expanding our empire of ÒdemocracyÓ of Ôfree tradeÕ for industry.  Ever growing government nationalizing controls & giving subsidies to monster industries, resisting our rare community based democratic cooperation.  ThereÕs state laws in Oregon against local regulations of chemical poisons & electrical power grids to protect the health of community-citizens.

 

We have 1000s of newage religions, gurus, organic farms, hippies, punks & political protests &1000s of classes of do-it-ourself, & learning how to join the hi-tech job market.  But real volunteer democratic decisions with social equality are rare in family, schools, biz & government.   So are we living in Ôdemocratic fantasyÕ of American utopia?  We got super-tech science-fiction toys & tools, mass media fun, food & drugs, from mostly secret designs of Òintellectual propertyÓ, but no democracy & loosing civil rights every year by federal decree & new ÔHomeland SecurityÕ agency, no enuf cops top protect war industries so Congress just votes more billions for national security.

 

WeÕre spOild by cars & trucks, planes & profits, mass media pop star news, with zillions of tons of daily-waste we forget like killing the Indians for land.  Our magic media, miracle drugs & super-tech: radio, jets, cell-phones, rockets, bombs, nuclear power, lasers, live satillite, TV, computers, weapons, sub-marines, Xerox, X-rays, microwaves, giant battleships & aircraft carriers, helicopters,

nite vision & brain scans, genetic & weather engineering, hybrids & hospitals, are more Ôalien likeÕ than natural, healthy or safe to use.

 

We live in classtatus society, do donÕt expect & request social equalityÕ except to attend schools, get jobs & rarely in courts with honest civil rightsÕ we donÕt teach in schools, the creeping Fascism in US began with WW1 & US federal income tax not approved by Congress, who then outlawed Hemp in 1937 before WW2, when we gave up Ôcivil rightsÕ to win 2 world wars at once, A-bombing Japan we invaded & Americanized quickly, faster than Indians we conquered over 2 centuries with white-man technology.  We now see that World wars, Vietnam & Iraq wares were started by or lied to Americans to go to war for big business & global empire economy, for fear of invasions.  So the long forgotten Indians became a sad & desperate scattering tribes are disgusting to spoiled clean city folks, not feeling guilty for genocide of tribes or having slaves for a century before US civil-war freed slaves to work in US farms & NE factories.
