"It is hard
to legislate in a democracy when the public has been denied so much of the
relevant information." - Senator Sheldon Whitehouse 2010
"The
conscious and intelligent
manipulation of the organized habits and
opinions of the masses is
an important element in democratic
society.
Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society
constitute an invisible government
which is the true ruling
power." - Edward
Bernays
"In every political theory there is
an inscrutable element which goes
unseen.
Behind the appearances there is a Fate, there are
Guardian Spirits, or
Mandates to a Chosen People,
a Divine Monarchy,
a Vice-Regent of Heaven, or a
Class of the Better Born.
The obvious angels, demons, and kings are gone out of democratic
thinking, but the need for believing that there are reserve powers of guidance
persists.
It persisted for those thinkers who designed the matrix of
democracy.
They had warm
hearts and in the doctrine of
popular sovereignty they found the answer to their need of
an infallible origin for the new
social order.
There was
Mystery; only enemies of the people touch it with profane hands."- Walter
Lippmann, Public Opinion
A
democratic republic is a form
of government in which people elect
representatives to represent their best interests.
A fiduciary relationship exists
between the representative and
the people.
For
a democratic republic to function
correctly Americans must have
access to accurate information pertaining to
decisions being made by their elected
representatives on their behalf so they may
properly direct the
representative.
"Collective welfare demands
empirically informed
collective action.
Relevant
science rarely generates a
unique solution to any policy
dispute.
Even after the basic
facts have been established judgments of value will vary
across citizens who hold
competing understandings of the public
good.
Unless citizens and
representatives possess empirically sound understandings of the dangers they
face and the likely effects of
policies to abate them, they will not even be able to identify, much less
secure enactment of, policies that advance their ends." - Motivated Numeracy
and Enlightened Self-Government, Dan M. Kahan, Erica Cantrell Dawson, Ellen
Peters, Paul Slovic
"The survival of democracy depends on
the ability of large numbers of people to
make realistic choices in
the light of inadequate
information.
A dictatorship maintains itself by
censoring or distorting the
facts, and by appealing, not to reason, not to
enlightened self-interest,
but to passion and
prejudice,
to the powerful "hidden
forces" present in the
subconscious depths of every human mind." -
Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
Revisited
"In this sham democracy,
the ruling oligarchy, taking upon
itself a specific deleterious economic
system, is chiefly responsible for America's ills.
The legal system
is unjust, domestic violence is prevalent,
liberty is constrained, general
welfare has been replaced by widespread adversity, providing for the common
defense has been reduced to providing for a military-industrial corporate
complex." - John Kozy
Institutions designed
for the application of technique are inherently amoral.
Systems of technique,
conceptual
constructs, can not have a conscience.
States institutionalize
techniques which are applied by
the dominant group.
A
corporation is an institutional system chartered to accomplish a
task.
A corporate institution has
only one purpose = profit.
A
government institution has only
one purpose = social control.
Both
corporate and government institutions are
conceptual constructs designed to
deal with the containment of
the animal
spirit.
Constructs of the human imagination can never fully
fullfil human needs.
"Without the State, the Corporation is nothing. The
state's power has not been reduced. It has been redistributed, more tightly
connected to the needs and interests of corporations and less so to the
public interest." - Joe
Balkan
Corporations and agencies are amoral and only constrained
by law.
Both are in the business of social
engineering simply due to the fact that operating systems of dealing with the
public must be streamlined.
"Complex issues
are reduced to black and
white terms and
oversimplified in the context
of winners and losers and how they will affect the next election." -
Scott McClellan, White House
Press Secretary
James Madison wrote the objective of the
Constitution was to enshrine liberty
by securing "public good and
private rights against
the danger of faction."
By
"faction," James Madison meant "citizens actuated by a common
interest adverse to the rights of other citizens or
to the interests of the
community."
"Problems of special-interest influence in Washington
won't be resolved through selective
spasms of morality when a scandal erupts." - Ron Brown
"Everybody's
worn out by this ceaseless dialing for dollars.
We are dependent on special interests to
get elected." - Assemblywoman Loni Hancock
"Since 2000 the US Chamber of Commerce and its
advocacy branch, the Institute for Legal Reform, have spent more than
$200 million to influence legislation
and elections, most often at the state and local levels and most often
without revealing itself or its donors to voters. " - Michael Cuddy
Constitutional protections are
being ignored by the corporate sector.
Federal government power no
longer represents the American people.
Federal government power represents the
money power of the boards of directors that keep the moribund corporate system
alive - the plutocracy.
2005 Corporations registered to lobby on Capitol Hill increase
from 1,498 in 1998 to 4,013 by mid-2005.
2006 In California 30 previously
elected lawmakers go to work as lobbyists.
California state senator Joe
Dunn sides with the California Medical Association, voting as requested
on a controversial bill.
Three months later it is announced that Joe
Dunn is the new executive director of the California Medical
Association.
"My concern is these lawmakers are thinking about where
they are going to go next, and they don't desire to do anything while in office
that would offend any potential employer." - Robert Fellmeth, Center for
Public Interest Law
March 3 Senate homeland
security and governmental affairs committee
decides there is no need for an
independent office of public integrity.

This web site is not a commercial web site
and is presented for educational
purposes only.
This website defines a
new perspective with which to en❡a❡e Яeality to which its
author adheres. The author feels that the faλsification of reaλity
outside personal experience has forged a populace unable to
discern propaganda from
Яeality and that this has been done purposefully by an
internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartel through their agents who wish
to foist a corrupt Ѵersion of Яeality on the human race.
Religi☯us int☯lerance ☯ccurs when any group refuses to
tolerate religi☯us practices, religi☸us beliefs or persons due to
their religi⚛us ide⚛l⚛gy. This web site marks the founding of
a system of philºsºphy nªmed the Mŷsterŷ of the
Lumière Infinie - a ra☨ional gnos☨ic mys☨ery
re☦igion based on reaso🐍 which requires no leap of faith, accepts
no tithes, has no supreme leader, no church buildings and in which each and
every individual is encouraged to develop a pers∞nal relati∞n with
Æ∞n through the pursuit of the knowλedge of reaλity in
the cu☮ing the spi☮itual co☮☮uption that has enveloped
the human spirit. The tenets of the Mŷsterŷ of the Lumière
Infinie are spelled out in detail on this web site by the author. Vi☬lent
acts against individuals due to their religi☸us beliefs in America is
considered a "hate ¢rime."
This web site in no way
c☬nd☬nes vi☬lence. To the contrary the intent here is to
reduce the vi☬lence that is already occurring due to the
internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartels desire to
c✡ntr✡l the human race. The internati☣nal
c☣rp☣rate cartel already controls the w☸rld
ec☸n☸mic system, c☸rp☸rate media w☸rldwide, the
global indus✈rial mili✈ary en✈er✈ainmen✈ complex
and is responsible for the coλλapse of moraλs, the eg●
w●rship behavior and the destruction of gl☭bal ec☭systems.
Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation with
bi☣hazards of a gun.
American social mores and values have
declined precipitously over the last century as the internati☣nal
c☣rp☣rate cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests
in the ability to deceive the p☠pulace in general through
c✡rp✡rate media by press☟ng em☠ti☠nal
butt☠ns which have been πreπrogrammed into the
πoπulation through prior c✡rp✡rate media psychological
operations. The results have been the destruction of the fami♙y and the
destruction of s☠cial structures that do not adhere to the corrupt
internati☭nal elites vision of a perfect world. Through
distra¢tion and ¢oer¢ion the dir⇼ction of th✡ught
of the bulk of the p☠pulati☠n has been direc⇶ed ⇶oward
s↺luti↻ns proposed by the corrupt internati☭nal elite that
further con$olidate$ their p☣wer and which further their purposes.
