The monarchy is an in-bred institution that has caused across the centuries untold wars, death, and misery among the masses so that they can be in power and control of wealth. The people, which they subjugated with the mumbo-jumbo that they had a divine right and blue blood, fought and died for the right to be oppressed by one monarch after another who aspired to the throne or demanded to be king or queen. Poor sobs! And they still support a bunch of parasites today as a symbol of who they are - pathetic fans to parasitic glitter and glory.
But then again, we Americans are dopes too, we support parasitic politicians who enrich themselves at the public trough for decades and become millionaires at the taxpayers' expense. They publish more books than they pass bills and they certainly don't care one iota about the taxpayers and the constituents they represent.
It is one thing to hold on to historical monuments, churches, palaces, and preserve them for posterity, and another to support a very large and extended family to reside in castles at the taxpayer expense even though they have created nothing of value or worked a meaningful day in their lives other than parade themselves in pricey outfits, jewels, carriages, expensive cars, yachts, and private airplanes, to the masses.
My view of the world through personal experience, travel in Europe and North America, research, and living 20 years under communism.

The American Oligarchy
We are fundamentally changing, it’s been
coming for decades but it is more noticeable now because we have Internet,
wireless devices, pocket size encyclopedias encapsulating libraries around the
world, and instant access to real news around the globe.
We see how the main stream media has
become the spokesperson for the ruling elites, corruption rules and day, and education
is melting in the flames of common core.
We are no longer a Constitutional
Republic because we failed to keep it. We are a benign oligarchy composed of same
party rule of the few oligarchs, no matter how we vote at the polls. The
oligarchs do as they please.
Oligarchy
is a “form of government in which all power is vested in a few persons or in a dominant class or clique; it is government
by the few.” Nations ruled by oligarchies do not fare well,
whether they are benign oligarchies or absolute tyrannies.
Newly elected politicians sign worthless
pledges to constituents which they immediately break on the first day of
Congress, joining those they swore to defeat and corruption is epidemic with
all politicians, new or expert octopuses with tentacles strangling the heart of
the republic. The oath of office is just a meaningless step to power.
We go about our daily lives; we go to
work, shopping, to the movies, to parties, and watch surreal “reality TV” and
sports while our country continues to fall apart. Nobody understands the
insurmountable debt accumulated by Congress after Congress that is looming over
our futures.
We still have food, we are fat thanks to
food additives and a sedentary lifestyle, we are lulled into a false sense of
security, we have a warm place called home, some have jobs, some have 2-3
part-time jobs, the welfare checks keep rolling in, what is there to worry us?
We are like the declining Roman Empire –
America is waning because of the corruption of our leaders which we elect time
and time again.
The average American does not really
care right now. But the day to day contentment will change during their life
time because of millions and millions of illegal aliens brought into the
country by this administration. Their children will exist in a third world state
riddled with poverty, illiteracy, crime, welfare, shortages, and equal and
deplorable penury.
Most people are not feeling the change
in their lives, but “fundamental change is in the air” and coming at dizzying
speed.
We still have freedom of religion,
although some “religions” are catered to more by government laws and
regulations, forcing the rest of us to accept a “religion” that is
contradictory to our Judeo-Christian values, lest we are sued or killed. Christianity
is constantly under attack around the world and at home.
We have to self-censor or pay the
penalty of hate-speech. The United Nations wants to codify into law a punishment
for anyone who dares to criticize the very violent “religion of peace.”
Theoretically, we still have freedom of
speech but, if we exercise it, we are marginalized as loons or phobes, forced
to apologize for factual statements, or lose our jobs. In essence, we have lost
the freedom of speech guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution. We are now fearful
to speak publicly, to our neighbors, and even whisper to relatives who have not
yet written us off as strange and inimical because we have divergent opinions.
Ask tenured professor Dr. John McAdams
of Marquette University about his suspension for exercising his freedom of
speech in a blog which criticized an instructor who forbade students to have dissenting
opinions in his class because the topic “was settled.” http://www.wnd.com/2015/01/fight-erupts-over-universitys-censorship-of-student-speech/
Speech is free as long as you agree with
me. If you advocate for freedom of speech, you are going to be fired or
suspended in the very place that prides itself over freedom of speech. But are
universities a place where anyone can express their thoughts freely anymore?
Especially when they have installed tiny corners called “free speech zones” but
you have to ask permission from the university to use it.
We have freedom of the press but the
press is run by liberals. We can write our opinions, but can we get them
published? After all, most of the publishing houses are owned and staffed by brainwashed
progressives.
We have freedom of assembly as long as
the city government pressed by progressive agendas approves our petition to
assemble and the topic of discussion. Conservative groups are often told no,
while illegal immigrants can freely assemble to protest their illegitimacy and
law-breaking presence in our country.
What is the goal in bringing into
America four million Muslim immigrants per year who are intolerant of infidels
and of their freedom of speech, as evidenced in the most recent massacre of
twelve innocent Parisians who dared practice their trade of free speech through
cartoons? The slain policeman who arrived on a bicycle and unarmed, was unable to
protect the other eleven victims.
How could this happen in the liberal
paradise of France where police has been disarmed and guns prohibited as
demanded by the progressive society who believes that an unarmed populace will
convince terrorists to give up their weapons. Surely they will respond to
reason and mercy. We are all civilized humans, aren’t we?
Fareed Zakaria said on his CNN show, “There is within the
world of Islam many, many pockets, many groups that really have a great deal of
difficulty with the modern world, and particularly with the open Western
freedom of speech loving, freedom of expression loving
world. The grievance, the grievance is that they feel they live in a
world not of their making, a world of the west's making.” Well, in that case,
let’s remake the world in the intolerant image of Islam and terrorism will go
away. If they hate our world so much, why are they immigrating in droves to the
west? http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2015/01/09/left_focuses_on_non_existent_islamophobia_to_smear_conservatives
Christiane Amanpour, referring to the Paris massacre,
said, “One of the things that we're living right now is a very ugly and
unseemly rise yet again of Islamophobia, and this is very worrying. All
these governments now are gonna be watching to see how the far right, which
made huge gains in the last local elections in Europe a few months ago,
National Frontier, UKIP in England, you know, the groups in Belgium and Germany
and elsewhere, which are mobilizing big anti-Islamic demonstrations, how this
is gonna play into this very ugly political situation.” http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2015/01/09/left_focuses_on_non_existent_islamophobia_to_smear_conservatives
What “ugly political situation?” Twelve innocent
individuals, doing their jobs and exercising their right to free speech in the
civilized world, have been slaughtered by the adherents to Islam. Can anyone name contributions to civilization
that Islam has made since the 11th century other than violence,
destruction, and death?
France24 reports that fifty world
leaders have gathered in Paris to attend the Anti-Terrorism Rally on Sunday,
January 11, 2015. http://www.france24.com/en/20150110-paris-rally-charlie-hebdo-sunday-leaders/
Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority
among them, “are marching in solidarity against radical Islam,” said LTC Ralph
Peters on Fox and Friends Weekend.
Kirk Lippold, Commander of USS Cole, wonders
on his Facebook page why the United States is not represented in this massive
rally against terrorism. “This is an embarrassment
for the United States and speaks volumes about this Administration's commitment
to defeating radical Islam and the terrorists who kill innocent civilians.” https://www.facebook.com/kirk.lippold.9/posts/10205683838880415?notif_t=close_friend_activity
We are in the phase of a “soft,
benevolent dictatorship,” some call it “despotic oligarchy,” shaping what we
do, what we say, what we think, what we eat, what we drink, what medicines we
take, what doctors we see, but people are generally blind so far to this new
phase of reshaping America away from the “evil” capitalist empire that has
brought prosperity and development to the entire world.
The moral decline of America is driving
more nails into its coffin because everything deviant is now protected and
promoted by law and the medical field is encouraging and paying for any physical
changes desired.
Rome did not fall in one day, it took a
long time for its collapse and it split into two empires, the Western and the
Eastern. The Western Empire fell quickly in 476 A.D. to the barbarian hordes that
wanted the Roman lifestyle but were unwilling to assimilate.
Political corruption, a mercenary army disloyal
to Rome, unchecked immigration, waves of
Visigoths, Vandals, Angles, Saxons, Franks, Ostrogoths, and Lombards who took
turns damaging the Empire, an inflationary economy, decreased agricultural
production, trade deficit, decadence, piracy, and lead poisoning were other
variables that contributed to the fall of Rome. The Eastern Empire flourished
for another 1,000 years as Byzantium.
How long is the American Empire going to
survive under a soft, benign oligarchy?

Silence Is Not "Golden" When Defending Liberty
“Silence
is golden,” says the old proverb. The silence in defense of liberty is
deafening. American voices are silent or drowned by the liberal agenda of the
main stream media, the approved elite talking heads, and the progressive academia.
Politicians prefer a dumbed down electorate, uninformed, with little education, no courage, easily duped and pliable so that representatives can retain their privileged status. Politicians lie, misrepresent, sell their conscience, betray the voters’ trust, betray their country, and sell it to the highest bidder in order to keep their power and office. Should they lose an election, civilian life can provide even more spoils in the form of lobbying, in exchange for knowledge and insider information gained while in office.
Who wants to study hard and struggle to pass math? Liberals say that “mathematics is man-made, arbitrary, and good solutions are arrived at by consensus among those who are considered experts.” By this logic, 2+2 may equal 5 if there is enough “consensus.”
Stifling
free speech and political debate by using political correctness and unfounded
accusations of racism are the favorite tools of the progressive movement. Every
facet of the American way of life is under attack by the fringe in power. Yet,
it is so quiet on the right, you can hear crickets.
The
anti-American political posturing of Democrats in this presidential campaign
and the Republicans’ weak defense of what has made America a superpower is a
reminder of how much is at stake and how much can be lost in November – the
heart and soul of a nation, her very existence.
The
American “arrogance” for which this administration is constantly apologizing to
the world is found in cemeteries across Europe in which American heroes are
interred, having died in the defense of liberty for ungrateful and cocky
European socialists who have forgotten the ultimate sacrifice paid by ordinary
Americans who preserved their way of life and freedom there and around the
globe.
There
is a strong disconnect between the interests of the political class and the
interests of “we the people.” We want to save our nation and our Constitution.
Politicians are only interested in gaining and retaining power and wealth
during their “service.” Their ultimate goal is to remain in office for life by
pleasing constituents who send in large donations and endorsements, and by
pretending to care for the downtrodden. Throw supporters a bone in the form of
welfare, amnesty, or union support, and they will vote Democrat forever. Build
a bridge to nowhere or a short railroad to a swamp and you gain the citizens’
undying devotion.

History
is conveniently erased or re-written to favor the latest education mandate sent
in by the mighty Department of Education who decides what facts are important
and what perception of reality shaped by those in power is acceptable and
politically correct in order to graduate more drones.
Students
are socially promoted and encouraged to attend colleges where they are advised
to pursue worthless degrees in social studies, women’s studies, ethnic studies,
communication, and journalism with a communist bent and social justice activism,
for which there is little demand and certainly little pay or employment
opportunity unless Occupy Wall Streeter is considered a serious profession.

Easy
As in fluff courses are guaranteed in this progressive ideology that permeates
humanities and social sciences. I never understood why they call them sciences
– there is nothing scientific about a subject that derives its “wisdom” from
opinion surveys.
Innovations,
inventions, most favored status and strategic technology are sold or made
available to rogue nations and enemies while allies are slighted or ignored.
If
you happen to be “rich,” and the definition of “rich” keeps changing, you did
not pay your fare share. You now work for your government, the government no
longer works for you. Social justice demands as much confiscation of wealth as
possible from you until redistribution of wealth and social engineering is
satisfied. Only then will social justice/equity reign supreme.
If
you have a small business for which you had worked very hard for many years or perhaps
generations, you did not build that, someone else helped you because the
government built roads for you to travel on and engage in commerce. Never mind
that you were levied confiscatory taxes by the government, thus paying for the
construction of roads and for the right to travel on them.
Government
spending is out of control. Congressmen in both parties cannot help themselves
in the drunken deficit spending frenzy. They are so irresponsible, they have
not passed a budget in three years, one of their primary missions.
Yet
Congress and the government would like to tell you how irresponsible you are
with your finances, how much more taxes you must pay, what to eat, what to
drink, how much salt to consume, what drugs to take, what kind of insurance you
must purchase, what vaccines you must receive, what engineered foods you must
eat via Codex Alimentarius, what supplements to take, what cars to buy, where
to live, what to do with your own property, where to work, how to raise your
children, and what schools to attend.
Meanwhile,
Congressmen exempted themselves from Obamacare, protected themselves against
the very fraud they punished their constituents with, and were lawless and
unaccountable for their misdeeds, protecting each other like thieves in the
night.
We’ve
lost our Space Shuttle program with the stroke of a presidential pen, but
landed successfully the rover Curiosity on Mars. The fantastic journey took 8
months and millions of miles. It boggles my mind how precise and tedious the
entire process was. Nobody paid much attention to this momentous occasion in
the history of our nation or cared to rejoice in such an accomplishment, except
for the jubilant and marvelous engineers at NASA. Everyone else was busy with
mundane living or tired of hearing the MSM disingenuous non-stop praises of a
failed administration. Why spend money on our stellar space exploration program
when we can rent a chair on a Russian shuttle like a poor and distant relative
who cannot afford a car.
Silence
may be golden in some cases, but, in defense of liberty, we must hear more than
a whimper from our pro-America politicians if we are to save our constitutional
republic - it must be a roar in order to protect our country from extinction.
