BRIDGES TO THE PEOPLES PARTICIPATION
 I think by now individuals have to come to the conclusion that we do not have a true democracy in the United States. We have a mere shell, one with all of the trappings - elections, lots of talk about freedom, with none of the substance. After all, it was created for just this purpose - for the enrichment of the few and the disenfranchisement of the masses.
This was it's design from the very beginning, all of the supposed changes that came since the start are merely cosmetic - all the the supposed advances were legislated by conflict, and can just as easily be legislated away (and are being). The present function and form of this government is to isolate us from governance and confound the will of the people!
 There is this luscious garden of fruit and abundance for all, but standing between us and our freedom is this deceptive web. We are offered this mere pittance of what belongs to the people, so many have settled for the what appears to be all that is available, never entering the luscious garden beyond the deceptive web. We need to discern illusion from reality.
So it is necessary to build these effective bridges to wealth and power that rightfully belongs to the people. However, we must not to carry any delusional baggage - that is, that the present system provides for or has any intention of care for the people. All the present system does is perpetuate the old class divisions that have haunted humanity almost since the beginning of time - it has just mutated into various forms of oppression.
Therefore, there must be structural change in the very form of government. First, there must be immediate limitation placed on the laws and policies that effect the people. All of those bills that are passed pell mell by those who say they represent us, without our complete knowledge and approbation must stop.
Instead there must be a working and rotating body of people who become official watchdogs placed in the halls of power. Each act which would change the status, or reduce the benefits accrued to the people must be put to the national vote. Roles must be reversed, rather than a mere shell of democracy for the people - the offices that presently adorn this form of government must be turned into mere shells.
The "representative power" of the local, state, and federal bodies must be severely curtailed. There can be no serious change for the betterment of the people without a reduction of decisive power brought to those who supposedly represent us.
This is not only done by legally changing the nature of activity and job description, but by official watchdogs that ensure that the people are informed of their intentions and proposed action(s) - officially, not a hodge podge of disconnected and thereby dis-empowered interest groups. We must demand and force this system by official participation of the people.
There must be change and redefinition of the legal corpus. The nature of property and it's influence must be severely limited. The isolated form and function of the judiciary must be halted and decision processes must be made transparent to the people - this must take place in all judicial strata. Once again, this calls for the official and legal formation of the people within the very halls of justice.
I would say that oppression not only remains by silence, but by institutional perpetuation - institutionalizing oppression of the people. Institutions like the corporation must be redefined, and their influence severely limited. The "person-hood" of the corporation must be subjugated to individual people, and the entire body of law which has been "found" for the corporation must be throughly examined and necessarily expunged when it both harms, limits, and rules over the future of the people.
Once again for emphasis, oppression not only grows by silence - as if your or my outcry will stop encroachment, but by non-participation in the process of governance. To merely petition this form of government in operation accomplishes little to nothing - because they DO NOT REPRESENT you, they represent only the moneyed interests of the elite and the structure that has been erected which isolates and oppresses the people! This must be demanded, ergo, there must be effective confrontation - the limited power of the government must be made to pale by an awakened people.
Mass media and communications must be ripped out of the hands of the corporation. That which portrays itself as "news," is not news by any stretch of the imagination - it is merely the voice of the elite. The corporation has been used as the means to silence the will of the people, and to push the agenda of the few.
The Federal Communications Commission must be dismantled, the concentration of media power must be broken, and the people who own the means of communication must be officially allowed to effectively participate. The subversion of media to perpetuate , in a popular fashion, a way of life which further enslaves them to corporate image which is synonymous with elite will must be stopped. In other words, all overt and subtle forms of propaganda, silence and subversion of vital information must stop.
I have previously mentioned the dismantling of the National Security State, which is perpetuated by the intelligence community, so it does not have to be repeated (read previous posts - "Dismantling" part 1and 2, and "Ending Corporate Rule"). This of course is a more virulent form of democracy based on the realties that we face - it is based on participation not useless and endless petition. If you believe we are presently advancing by the methodology we employ than you probably have faith in the tooth fairy!
We must build critical mass through uniting the people, and this can only be done by understanding what we face. I do not think there is a better explanation of our present reality than what I have written. It debunks the myth of representation in the present form of government. What I propose is revolutionary because we have no effective citizenship - it is what has been portrayed as a government for, of, and by the people in reality - not what we are presently experiencing! I will deal with more uniting methods in future posts.
LONELIEST DAY OF MY LIFEOUR WORLD IS NOT FOR SALE (It has become worse today)MEDIA CONFERENCE
I call this video regarding a major alternative media conference "hope springs eternal." It seems that some are just virtually incapable of working and thinking outside of this box in the U.S. As if there is some redeeming quality to the powers that be - it simply amazes me. However, I would say there are good ideas peppered throughout the video, it is just the framework that is unrealistic.
