The Myth of Democracy

There is a myth that we all buy into. The myth of democracy. The idea that we the people have the ability to have our voices heard above the roar of goVernment. The wealth of information available on the Internet is a direct challenge to government, and it's top assistant, the main stream media, as they perpetuate that myth. Only problem is democracy actually worked this time. The money changers couldn't steal the election so they will try to steal our voice for the next time.

 Communication systems have a pattern that is predictable. The telegraph, telephone, movies, television, radio, and now the Internet, are all conceived sort of wild and free until the government, at the urge of corporations, regulate, or stifle in an effort to control the flow of information, and ultimately people’s minds.

In any tyrannical system the public is suspect. It is assumed that every person has broke some law, said something, or otherwise tried to slip through the system in some way. So we have it with the Internet today. We’ve all done it. You want to use some service, or software, and you scroll down the terms of service, which nobody reads, and wouldn't understand it all if they did, until you find the “I Agree” button, and click it. Well, you just agreed that if you lie about your weight on eHarmony you are a felon. So, if you should become an activist at some future date it doesn't take much work on the part of law enforcement to come up with twenty or thirty “transgressions” you've made in the last year alone, and they offer you a plea bargain.

Facebook is the largest offender of invasion of privacy, but it's not alone, with Microsoft, Apple, AT&T and most providers sliding up to the hog trough to feed our information to the FBI, CIA, NSA, and any other government agency that feels the need to “protect” us at any given moment. And you may ask if you have nothing to hide, why concern yourself? You should concern yourself because this overkill of surveillance actually makes us less safe. While FBI gumshoes are recording eighty year old Edna’s conversation with her twin sister about cookies the bombs go off in Boston!

People in government are human, well for the most part, and it is impossible to weed through tons of useless information to locate someone of interest that may be a real threat to national security. While the TSA does a cavity search on a ten year old little girl they completely ignore the woman in full Islamic attire, arriving from Allah knows where, and foaming at the mouth. Yeah, that one. San Bernardino, remember? Merry Christmas!

The real purpose of regulation is not to protect, but to control. The design is to keep the national consciousness in sync with the party line that's being fed to us by the main stream media, and if anyone disagrees at the least they are called a conspiracy nut, and the very worse they are considered a threat to national security. The litmus test is if they arrest you that means you got too close to the truth.

And there IS fake news. What the government doesn't understand is that we  PEOPLE have minds. We are endowed by our creator to reach understanding, and all have the ability to discern. The beautiful part of the Internet, when it's running free, is when some basket case emerges with a crop of fertilizer, it doesn't take very long before they become exposed. Kinda like what's happening to the main stream media right now! They tried their best to nullify the election of Donald Trump. With tightly cropped video shots of demonstrators in the street it soon became apparent that George Soros simply couldn't pay enough people to overwhelm the fact that the PEOPLE had made a right turn and the country was going to go back on track no matter HOW many filings Jill Stein did.

The flow of information is going to be critical in the next four years. The Bible talks about “wars and rumors of wars.” Verily, verily I say unto you that “rumors of wars” can be more dangerous than actual wars, because the threat, or perceived threat of invasive action gives the government the reason to “protect” us just a little bit more, and if we’re all on the edge of our seat, expecting the entire power grid to be taken down by a firecracker we will be all the more  susceptible to whatEVER the government and Facebook feeds us.

The good news is the system set up by the founding fathers worked! A non-politian came out of the blue and beat the machine. What was Hillary’s main push? She drilled down on Trump not being a seasoned politician.  She exposed the naked truth that in Washington there are “them” and then there are the rest of us. Well, the rest of us put one of us in the White House! That is the reason we must fight to keep the flow of information free and clear on the Internet. “They” are still there and “they” don't like us. We get in the way. We eat too much, talk too much, and “they” have to come down from Mount Olympus ever two to four years and put up with us for a little while so they can feed us the myth of democracy.
