 Today I want to discuss the tools used to imply and invoke what is supposed to be "legitimate" in the United States. I chose the title "Legitimism," which will be defined as the process of burning into the publics psyche of what is acceptable and what is not, what should be trusted and what should be suspect. We will remove the facade from the face of accepted reality.
It is very difficult to approach this subject, it is layered - because the very tools that are used to promote legitimism are not even legitimate! What you have is this State machinery, which does nothing but promote an elite agenda by it's very definition. One example could be the corporate media, which gives time and credence to anything that promotes the status quo - yet I would question this media's legitimate right to exist in it's present form.
When you begin to examine the very foundation of what is supposed to be legitimate you discover things that will shake a thinking person to the core. The basic building block of anything legitimate is the "truth," but if truth is the first building block of what is legitimate than the entire structure of what the United States is as it exists today comes into question. I am not just speaking of our present state and course as a nation, I am talking about it's existence and actions from the very beginning.
 If what I have maintained on this blog is true, that all governments (and specifically the U.S. government) are merely the machinery of the elite to advance their agenda, than everything that is blessed and flows from this is illegitimate! If this system is based upon "checking the leveling impulses of the propertyless people" - "the first object of government" is "the protection of different and unequal faculties of acquiring property" (as the father of the Constitution, Madison, says in the Federalist paper #10), than it cannot be a government of, for, and by the people - and it never was.
The very reason why there are so many groups addressing so many problems in every one of our institutions is because those institutions are all complicit by default in this illegitimate pyramid, which leads to the elite enrichment. No matter where you turn the people are disenfranchised from what is supposed to exist for their benefit, but it does not exist for their benefit - that is the point.
Do I have to innumerate the problems? You have a government in Washington that only listens to the monied elite, you have legal institutions that are for sale to the highest bidder, you have education that is truncated by self-interest and pseudo-historical monopoly, you have media which is the province of mega - corporations, you have medical care held hostage by pharmaceutical and health care monoliths, you have a military which is at the beck and call of monied interest, and you have religious institutions which are mere cheerleaders of the whole charade! Do you understand the depth of the problem we are facing? None of this is legitimate, none of it!!
What we have is legtimism, that is, a system whereby the many are held hostage by the few elite - whatever institution they lodge within. Our "form of government" was created to militate against the participation of the people, it was created that way. Yes, every vote must count - but what did you vote for? You vote for the maintainence of that which moves against us as a viable people. THIS IS A WAR, IT IS A CLASS WARFARE, THE ENEMY IS NOT TERRORISM FROM THE OUTSIDE - IT IS FROM A RULING AND MONIED ELITE WITHIN. IT IS OUR DUTY AS A PEOPLE TO RECOGNIZE AND UNDO THIS FAUX LEGITIMISM !
