Our form of government was created by a compact (the constitution) of men to form a representative republic with a FEDERAL government. For those of us who went to public school (myself included), this is NEVER taught. It's critically important that our citizenry know this....which is EXACTLY WHY it isn't.
What that means: A FEDERAL government is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, with a government of representatives OF THESE STATES and PEOPLE. That was the design. A weak centralized government that makes decisions for ALL the PEOPLE and ALL the states with the CONSENT of the governed.
To put this in perspective, consider the NFL. This is an organization formed by a compact in which decisions are made by ALL OF the owners of the teams....not by the commissioner of the NFL. This is important to understand. This was the ORIGINAL design of our country of united STATES.
Why do I bring this up.......
Because our government has changed.
We are NO LONGER a representative republic with a FEDERAL Government.
We have morphed (dramatically in the last 15 years, and VERY dramatically in the last 5 years) into a mass democracy with a NATIONAL Government.
You may ask yourself "how is that any different?"
A mass democracy is the same as "two wolves and a sheep in a boat deciding on dinner". It is no longer a representative government, but instead a "tribute" government of nepotism where the majority rules, regardless of how it affects the minority.
A NATIONAL Government is best be described like this: "Citizen, you will do what we (the ruling class) say. Your voice does not matter. Only the voice of the government is important. We will make decisions from a Central Government that applies to everyone, regardless of who it hurts (or kills). You WILL COMPLY.
Think: "Papiere bitte!!" .....and that was a NATIONAL government at the time.
History has REPEATEDLY shown that mass democracies never succeed....they ALWAYS fail, because eventually they collapse under their own weight (think CLOWARD-PIVEN).
AND
NATIONAL Governments always end the same way....in innocent bloodshed first, followed by the bloodshed of the ruling class.
this lessson is never, and never will be taught in PUBLIC schools
WHY?
It's much easier for a NATIONAL Government to control the ignorant masses who can't think for themselves (AKA: Sheeple)
