WHAT
IS DEMOCRACY REALLY?
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.
