Democracy Study Guide

Given the massive hold on what comprises 'reality' the rulers have slowly managed to create in most of our citizenry over the last 40-50 years, the almost complete indoctrination and control of evidently a quite large majority of our citizens to trust and obey their rulers and the rulers' state media basically unquestioningly, very resistant to any talk of admitting serious problems or considering serious change concerning our 'democracies' (the almost complete, unquestioning capitulation to what was clearly upon any type of 'critical thinking' analysis a fraud called 'covid' proving this beyond any kind of serious doubt, very shockingly in so many people one might have thought would know better), creating a critical mass of citizens free from this indoctrination and ready to truly fight for a real democracy is surely a daunting task.

But like some 'feet on the ground' writer said a long time ago, (paraphrasing of course) 'rather than complaining about how impossible it was, he tackled the task that couldn't be done and he did it'. And the famous Margaret Mead quote about 'don't think a small group of people cannot have a huge impact, really, such small groups have been the main agents of change throughout history' (paraphraising again of course). Not to mention the old trusty 'If not us, who, if not now, when??' which seems pretty relevant.

And we have to go at this with that attitude. And it may not be quite as difficult as we fear - after the last 2+ covid years during which our rulers have gone so far overboard with their 'we are the absolute rulers and you will question nothing and do as you are told or there will be serious consequences for any resistance!!!!' attitude and completely illegal mandates and trashing of any 'bills of rights' or 'charters of rights', along with the utter nonsense of the 'woke and cancel' 'culture' the same people are trying to push on us all the last few years, and the open betrayal of the legal system supposed to protect our rights from such government overreach, and the complete betrayal of the health system in enforcing utterly lawless medical mandates, etc etc - I think a very large number of formerly 'hey, it's not so bad, it'll get better soon!' citizens have become awoken to the danger we are in, and are ready to admit that a better way is needed, and will be willing to join us, as long as we can demonstrate we have a solid, well thought out, and doable plan for getting from this increasingly evidently really-off-course 'democracy' to something much much better.

And it seems quite obvious that simply reading/writing more and more articles and having/watching interviews with people pointing out the problems and creating new websites, as good and useful as much of this stuff is - is not going to do it - and as noted earlier, there is so much of this good stuff we could spend all day reading and watching, and NOT doing 'active' things to actually help. We've been pretty much free to write and talk and make vids etc on the web for many years now, and the majority of proles are still being proles, actually it seems there are many more of them after the covid 'stand up and show your allegiance by loving your masks and getting vaccinated several times' commands from the Masters. The thing is, of course, such websites are basically preaching to our choir, the indoctrinated masses don't come to these websites and read things or listen to these interviews, and if we try to talk to them their masters have told them that they should avoid our 'silly conspiracy theories' and etc (or worse, recently of course the rulers are starting to come after such places as 'disinformation!!!' sites and a threat to democracy, with active efforts to shut such places down easily visible in the not too distant future), and they do obey and believe as they are instructed by their masters.

So - it would seem clear enough that if we are going to be catalysts for the 'major course correction' needed in our societies at this time in our history, we're going to have to spend some time away from our computers and arrange some quality face-to-face time out in our communities, engage our fellow citizens and explain in real live conversations the lies we are living under, the great danger we are in of sitting idly by and letting the rulers create a terrible dystopia for all of us and our children if we don't stop them soon, and explain our ideas for a new, truly democratic system of informed, engaged citizens all helping to create *our* 'true' democracy, and that it can work, if enough of us want it to and do the work to make it happen - and then when we do connect with them, they also take up the Banner of Democracy and do the same work with people they know, and so on and on.

The best I can come up then, for getting 'from here to there' with, based on such meetings, is along these lines following: just ideas, a discussion paper open to any kind of comments and suggestions of course - when we do things democratically, we'll all talk about it, and the best ideas will prevail -

As indicated above, I think we 'unsullied' (i.e. unindoctrinated) democracy warriors are going to have to get out into our communities and spread the word face to face to those of our friends and neighbors we think might be approachable. We have to patiently explain to them, with whatever supporting material we feel most comfortable using, documents and videos, etc (massive amounts available on the net of course, and part of our earliest work will be getting these resources organized and available in an easily accessible way for all to use) proving beyond any kind of reasonable doubt how the last couple of years have clearly shown that our (*not* 'democratically elected') rulers, with the help of their mainstream 'trusted' propaganda media, are determined to completely coup d'etat any kind of real democracy (weak as that has been the last few decades), indeed are well on the way to doing that, and create some kind of medical-technocratic democracy-free-zone state, and then digging deeper into those things explain how pretty much all of the important things they believe about their society and world the last few decades that have led us to this critically dangerous period are just lies propagated over the years and decades given the color of 'truth' by endless repetition aided greatly by decades of indoctrination by the people really running their society through the 'education' system and mass media and the peer-pressure thus created, and how we could do so very, very much better in pretty much every way if we could establish a true democracy, a government truly created and managed by well-informed and engaged 'we the people', a government not just pretending to be 'responsible' to us as the current 'elected representatives' are (one of the big lies of course) while actually doing the bidding of the real rulers of the country, the banker-capitalists who control the money and their wealthy cronies.

We then open up the idea that a 'democracy' is not a competition between opposing factions with winners and losers, but a great and ongoing 'meeting of the whole' where ALL citizens discuss all important issues and ALL citizens have a vote in whether or not any idea is eventually passed into policy, by a type of direct (thus actual) democracy. During such discussions by all citizens, we wish to significantly modify many things about what our current government does so it becomes focused on what 'we the people' want in our government and providing these services, rather than what our current rulers create for us and do to us in our name, but without our consent, i.e if all Canadians were involved in top-level discussions, would we want to be following the US around bombing countries on the other side of the world, would we want 'trade treaties' that benefit wealthy and powerful corporate interests at the expense of working people, would we want a private banking cartel controlling our economy, would we allow the WHO to set our health policies???, and etc etc etc.

Such meetings will require time for all of these things and more, and especially at the beginning to go through the 'Big Lies' I have outlined in Appendix A3 [A3. Big Lies 1, A3a. Big Lies 2, A3b. Big Lies 3], with the pretty much irrefutable evidence that we are living in a kind of matrix constructed within these lies with lies and more lies built on other lies - and again emphasizing that if we do not stop these people soon, they are very close to having the power to implement their 'new world order', with ever more powerful means of control, and have even worse things planned for the future - and initiating a true people's ground-up democracy ASAP is pretty much the only way they are going to be stopped. And if we are to succeed in this saving of our society, those we are talking to cannot be bystanders to the struggle - they must be part of the struggle from the very beginning. It really is not an exaggeration to say that what we are facing in an existential struggle - over the next few years, Democracy will either survive or die on our planet, whether to be attempted at some time in the future if someone manages to defeat the Imperium we don't know. We set ourselves on the road to restoring, or really actually creating for the first time, a peaceful Hobbiton free of the parasites waiting to destroy it from within, or allow the chains leading to Mordor to be placed around our necks, or really they're already around our necks, we need to get them off before the final bolts are closed in them and hope ends forever.

I think we are going to find a lot of agreement with such facts once we take the time to patiently explain them, as they are pretty much irrefutable when set openly on the table in front of us side by side with the lies most people have been trained to believe and the light of truth shone upon them and we have some talk about it all.

But before any of this happens there will be 3 major stumbling blocks for us just to get people to open the door to us, three major points many will want addressed.

The first will be along the lines of, hey, you preach a lot of doom and gloom, but look, things aren't that bad, sure there's problems here and globally, but at least we have some kind of stability and security, they make at least some pretence at 'democracy', there's food in the stores and the electricity keeps working, and we're generally pretty safe in our daily lives if we don't attract the attention of the rulers or their enforcers (for anyone paying attention to things like the vicious 'crackdown' on the truckers convoy early in 2022, or what the deep state is doing to anyone allied with their big enemy Trump in the US), and etc. And then second, and related and just as important when we get beyond the first, why the hell should we believe you?? - there is absolutely no trust for anyone looking or talking like a politician anymore in a very large segment of the population (for good reason), and such mistrust and cynicism is deeply ingrained after decades of ever worse lies and policies from the people running our countries (and like it or not, people opposing the government and trying to start a new movement are going to, at least initially, be seen as 'politicians' of some stripe). And third - assuming we can overcome that problem, then why should we support you?? Even assuming you can get enough people in parliament to force some change, and you are honest enough to try to do that - how do we know you won't be just taking us from the frying pan into the fire?? If you actually do manage to achieve some 'power', how do we know you won't just make things worse?? We may not be doing that great now - but it's easy enough to imagine things being much worse - and as part of this, most of us have been trained to be very dependent on our authorities, we are not at all sure we are ready to be running any society - better the devil you know, and all that, eh???

- and these are very good questions, the same questions I'd be asking if I was the recipient of such a visitor to my home with such a proposal - and we need to have very strong answers for them. And I'd be answering along the following lines:

1. This question, to be answered properly, is going to require a bit of a leap ahead to one of the major Big Lies, 'capitalism wonderful socialism evil!!' which is explained in more detail in Appendix 2, but here briefly - as, to put it simply, things are getting worse now, because when things were better, it was due to the influence of, for a common word, socialists fighting to drive back the capitalist factory and mine owners and demand the workers have better lives. The workers / unionists / populists / socialists fought tooth and nail through the last part of the 1800s and into the early 1900s, and successfully won many capitulations from the capitalists of the time, and through the first half of the last century elected many very worker-supportive governments in the main English speaking capitalist countries, which passed many laws reining in many of the worst capitalist excesses, while also making life better for average people, with things like better working conditions, votes for women, pensions, minimum wages, government supported health and education systems, and etc etc, thus after many decades creating the quite good societies our ancestors were enjoying by the 1960s and 70s, and which we still enjoy the lingering fruits of. But then in the 1970s the capitalists started their 'reactionary revolution', and started seriously pushing back against the 'socialist' or 'welfare' society, with the 'dumbing down' movement beginning in the 1970s, then the 'killer blow' 'austerity' movement beginning in the 1980s based on the completely fruadulent 'national debts' but which all governments used to justify endless cutbacks to the programs that made life better for everyone, then through the 80s and 90s the increasing takeover of the once quite good English mainstream media turning them all into state propaganda organs pushing the reactionary agenda, the 'free trade' movement which further disempowered workers and attacked their incomes, then the beginnings of the surveillance state in the 2000s following the great 'false flag' of 911, which got on steroids with the appearance of 'smart phones' during the 2010s and also enabled much more powerful brainwashing/indoctrination, and now in the 2020s following 2 years and more of governments openly declaring all 'bills of rights' type documents unilaterally cancelled and anyone daring disagree with government edicts dangerous purveyors of misinformation, with the further introduction of electronic world 'I'm a good obedient citizen' passports which, when fully in place, will be able to control where people go and whether or not they will be allowed access to their money, putting us all right on the cusp of a world totalitarian state. Average incomes are today much smaller than they were 50 years ago, 'good steady jobs' are much harder to come by, people are much less secure with 2 working adults required to maintain a precarious middle class lifestyle where one working adult could securely do so 60 years ago, and etc etc. (Ontarians facing 45-hour wait for hospital beds) The evidence that we are on a decades-long serious downward trend is pretty undeniable when put on the table and a light shone on it, and shows only signs of worsening in the coming years if something is not done about it, and people we think might be reachable should be open to these things once we point them out, along with the other Big Lies - and anyone who cannot see such things, who think things are running along just fine, really, is not somebody we would be likely to have much success with, the indoctrination runs deep and strong in such people, and we probably don't need to waste much time on them as we begin our democracy crusade.

- again a much longer exploration of this history in another of my essays, It's not 'the left' trying to take over the world and shut down free speech and all that other bad stuff - it's 'the right'!! ]]

2. As for the second question, why should we trust you, you're just another fucking lying scum politician looking to get your slimy face in the trough (I speak from experience when I was part of Mel Hurtig's National Party in 1993) - the first thing I think is to assure them we agree with their reservations, and clearly explain we are NOT talking about starting a 'more democratic and responsive!!' political party for them to vote for, we are NOT asking them to 'vote for me/us!! and I/we can make things better!!!' (which nobody is ever going to believe of course) - we are asking them to actively help envision and create a new and better democracy, be not a passive observer of something, but be part of a movement, a fully engaged part, a fully equal part, talking and working with others in their own community to work to envision and help create the country they want, a great new strong and healthy democratic phoenix arising out of an old and disease- and parasite-ridden no longer suitable for purpose thing very mistakenly labeled 'democracy'. We are asking them to become truly democratic citizens, knowledgeable about and involved in every important decision made about our country going forward through a well-organized fully democratic system (as outlined in Appendix 1 A1. Basic Democratic Process). New parties have been tried many times in the last 70 years to try to create a better, more responsive democracy, generally by well-intentioned people with good ideas, and are still being tried (as noted above, I was part of one of these actually, back in 1993 with Mel Hurtig's (Canada) National Party - a big eye-opener and learning experience for me), with no serious impact on the ever more authoritarian direction of our society. And in Canada we just recently saw the NDP, supposedly Canada's working class party (another big lie, the NDP became the 3rd branch of Canada's One Big (capitalist) Party when Tommy Douglas, always (for good reason) voted Canada's most loved and honest and trusted politician, retired way back in the 1970s), side with the clearly fascists-in-sheep's-clothing 'liberals' and their co-'one big party' tweedledee-dum partner Cons to pass an 'emergency powers act' to put an end to a very powerful, and peaceful, working peoples'/truckers' protest, and all parties have been supporting the highly anti-democratic 'woke' agenda and 'disinformation' initiatives - this is not going to improve over the coming years without some serious outside people's democratic intervention - and if not us, who?? and if not now, when??? - there's no great democratic leader out there coming to save us, no Gandhis or MLKs or JFKs or Tommy Douglases, or Luke Skywalkers and Obi Wans out there any more, at least in the widely-known public sphere - if anything is going to be done to stop and reverse this disastrous course we are on, and actively put something better in place - it's going to be 'we the people' in a true, nation-wide organised grassroots democratic revolution.

We're not asking you to sign on to someone else's dream or vision - we are asking you to truly participate in serious talks to help imagine and then create that new and better Canada, the Canada you know we can be, the Canada you want to be part of, a true world leader for Democracy and Peace and Freedom and economic stability and prosperity and decent lives for all people, free not only in the main sense of the word, but free in the Rooseveltian sense of freedom from fear and freedom from want, free to dream of a better future and help create that for our children rather than simply trying to manage things that are getting worse and worse under leaders who are working for a higher power and don't really give much of a shit what happens to the peasants, our only delaying option to try to slow down the descent into chaos, which is all we can do under the current regime.

We are not offering you a great prize if you vote for us and give us some money and go back to your tv - we are offering you a chance to work like hell with your fellow community members to help envision and create a great and true democracy here in Canada. We fully understand your cynicism and bitterness about the current political landscape - now is your chance to fight back effectively against the people who made and make you feel that way, get them out of our houses of government, and return joy and optimism to our country with a new and stronger democracy of, by and for 'we the people'.

3. And finally, to address the 'how can we be sure you won't just make things worse regardless of your good intentions??' worry - another very important question, and a question again that we will tell them depends on the person asking the question as much as it depends on us. We need to tell those we approach that this is where they come in - a better government, a better democracy, is going to depend completely upon the work and input of all well-meaning and intelligent citizens to help create that government. We of course have many suggestions to begin the conversations, as outlined in Chapter 2. Basic Democratic Building Blocks 2 - the Democratic Framework, but as conversations we will not only be open to but looking for more and better ideas for all of us to consider as we create a better democracy for us all. For me, my response is that working together, understanding this is OUR democracy and it is up to US to make it as good and strong as possible, and to understand that if we want it to stay good and strong it is up to each one of us to look after it every day of our lives, with the good of all citizens in mind rather than the good of the wealthy people who run the country, we can do a whole hell of a lot better for all of us. Our new country will be just as good and strong as the people imagining and working to create it are - and I think in Canada we have a lot of really good, really smart people who, given the chance, can create a really good democracy. And if the person we are talking to also believes that and groks it and wants to be part of such a great dream, then they will be welcome on the team. As described in some detail in the 'Big Lies' section, the bankers run the country for the good of the bankers, and what is good for the bankers is bad for 'we the people'. When the country is run for the good of 'we the people', and controlled with intelligence and participation by 'we the people', it's going to be a good deal less 'good' for the banking cartel, but a good deal better for 'we the people'.

Everyone needs to understand this, and understand that we are trying to create an opportunity for the reins of power to be taken from the elite, and truly put in the hands of 'we the people', where they should be in a true democracy. And the degree to which we are successful with this will depend entirely on how well we can present our case, and how many of 'we the people' understand this and get involved. We are collectively, potentially, a very, very smart bunch of people in a very modern society, and if we put our heads together, we can redo the pretend democracies into something much, much better for all of us. Working together as part of this movement we will be able to put together a solid plan to create a true and powerful truly democratic society as we remove the cancer and parasites from our system, who do at least keep things running if very corruptly and poorly as the question indicates, and replace this 'good for them not so much for us maybe better than nothing' system with all power clearly in the hands of we the people, at all times, as detailed in Appendix A, with a rock-solid plan to keep the great ship running as we remove the current corrupt, self-serving leadership and replace them with an honest, highly capable, fully democratically responsible leadership team. If we do this together, and do it as best as we are able, we won't be jumping from a frying pan into a fire, we will be jumping out of the frying pan into the kitchen, and taking control of our own lives and country so nobody is ever again able to put us into such a frying pan (although there are quite a few bankers and their corrupt buddies who are going to start feeling a good deal of heat once they are faced with answering for their many crimes in a true democratic court).

As we'll be undertaking a true 'grassroots' movement here, Democracy from the bottom up as it should be, the people we talk to who join with us need to understand from the first that they will of course be fully involved in forming this plan and identifying honest and capable managers, which will be continually modified as new and better ideas for things get offered from the ever-growing number of people participating, and which will take its final shape over the next few months as our democracy-enabled citizenry expands and become involved with creating this vision, and our various websites follow. We won't be presenting any 'fait accompli' plan and asking them to sign on to it with maybe minor modifications - we won't have any 'leaders' in the movement, we are all equal citizens working together, every voice heard, everyone participating, all decisions made by consensus following all-inclusive discussions - we have a huge number of very very smart and capable people in this country, and working together we have the ability to create something truly new and wonderful here. It will be a job to do this, but a magnificent job, a job to bring joy to all of us who share in its creation - and as the plan slowly becomes complete and solidified and known to all of us, it will eminently be 'doable' with the support of the true democracy movement behind it.

This is another very important part of the Democratic Discussions. We need to show that we can and will be ready, as time goes on all of us who form this new democracy movement, when we gain our majority in the House of Commons or other governing bodies, to be ready to undertake the steps to put our vision into action as the opportunity becomes available, to show we understand the workings of the government, and are prepared to assume the necessary responsibilities; we are ready to ban the behind-the-scenes money powers currently running our country and replace their 'for the bankers' system with a democratic 'for the people' system, to begin a true Democracy and make it reality, again with all of us making this ready over the time we get this movement together (and we don't have forever, I'm not talking decades, ideally we should be aiming to be ready as soon as possible, certainly for Canada no later than the next Canadian national election, or smaller groups for provincial elections, we need to make this all happen ASAP) - if we can make this work under the emerging wouldbe fascist dictator Trudeau and the equally fascistic-supporting national state media, what an inspiration that could be to other countries. But the enemy is also progressing rapidly, and we need to be ready to show serious resistance before the iron fist comes fully out of the ragged velvet glove with the intent to smash everything we have done - once we're all in the money chains of the 'central bank digital currencies', and the 'show us your papers citizen (vaccination or whatever)' full sureveillance society, it's going to be a great great deal harder to do any of these things.

And so we answer the 3 big preliminary questions, and get back to the main discussion - once we convince our friend that the country really is in serious danger, and it really is necessary to take action now to have a decent future, and we really are serious about fighting for a true democracy with their help - how are we going to create that future - how are we going to dethrone the rulers, and turn this so potentially great country into a true modern exemplar of how a modern democracy can truly be created of, by and for 'we the people'?

The Democratic Citizenry

We are talking about a major paradigm shift in the way most people view their/our democratic government. The current paradigm is that the great and wonderful 'democracy', the greatest governing system ever!!, means nothing more than every few years we get to 'elect' some 'party' who convinces a plurality of people they have the 'best ideas for going forward', or maybe the most sellable leader to people used to being manipulated around by pricey ad campaigns, and then we go back to our daily lives and let that party run the country as they wish, run 'our great democracy' as they wish,with basically no meaningful input from the citizenry beyond pleading little letters to the local paper or MP or in-the-end meaningless 'demonstrations' here and there, no matter how much how many people may strongly disagree with something or everything they are up to. (I've been puzzled for many years how anyone could actually think of that as 'democracy', but full-spectrum indoctrination/maintenance on a population trained to be passive and 'trust the authorities' etc is a very powerful tool)

The 'new 'real' democracy' will be functioning and growing almost from the very beginning as we go through the Democracy Discussions - a true democracy does not manage or maintain itself any more than your house or business maintains itself, and it is important to understand that whoever is managing and maintaining any organisation is effectively running that organisation. 'We the citizenry' of *our* democracy will not be simply passive observers and obedient pawns of what 'the government' decides to do, as is the current system, quite the contrary, we will effectively be the government, and we will need to be constantly, individually, engaged with **our** Democracy, looking after it and watching for developing problems and making improvement tweaks daily in the same way we are continually engaged with and looking after our own homes and families and businesses. As the democracy becomes established we won't need regular meetings in our local group, as intelligent, engaged, responsible citizens we will all keep an eye on things that interest us, and will be in regular communication with other citizens within our area and without, and as long as things are rolling along smoothly there will be no need for regular formal meetings - but if someone notices a developing problem, then we call a meeting to discuss it 'in group' and decide if or what we need to do, and get at it - you fix shingles when they become loose, you don't wait for a storm to come along and rip all the shingles off.

But during the beginning months/years of our crusade, we will need to have regular meetings with most supporters in our group joining us as we grow into our new democracy and define and take up all of the things that we will need to be doing to make it not only work but work well, talking about new ideas or tweaking old ones, bringing in new democracy-desiring citizens, regularly visiting other meetings in other communities to share ideas and, importantly, get to know our democratic neighbors, fleshing out and embracing the knowledge needed by an engaged and informed democratic citizen, about how we will run our democratic meetings to ensure maximum participation, about the institutions we need to have in our democratic government, the policies we want, and how we will manage them so we have highly skilled administrators who meet with us and give us their best advice (but in the end taking their direction from 'we the people' of course) etc. The people who join this movement will be participating in envisioning and creating and managing and growing the democracy every day, from the very beginning - as a true Democracy must function. I think of a democratic citizen something like a farmer, at least in 'the old days' of my youth in a farming community - the farmers were always meeting with one another casually as they went about their daily off-farm work going to various places for different reasons or community meetings in the evenings or on weekends, and through such regular casual meetings important things always got spread around the community quickly, and action taken as needed. We need to approach our true democracy the same way - we all have our own lives, but we are all responsible for looking after our democratic community, all individuals with our own lives and work, but in the bigger sense also all working together for the common good.

It needs to be said again - a true democracy is not a competition between 2 or 3 or more opposing groups competing to run the whole country the way they want it run, that's more like a feudal society where the strongest warrior band and their leader become kings with absolute rule - a true democracy is one large group of citizens working out their differences calmly and peacefully, and together working out how they want to run their country.

We need to always be clear about one central thing - as a democratic people, we do have one great enemy circulating through our midst whom we must all be united against - that group of human predators who DO want to 'rule' over everyone else like great modern feudal lords, and if we want a true Democracy, it is imperative that we understand this and stand united against this oligarchical force, who do NOT want us to have the democratic freedom to choose OUR own destiny.

In Closing -

Above all - we have to approach this with a certain attitude, and pass that attitude on to everyone we talk to - this will be one of the great battles of western civilization, unfettered oligarchy on one side and true Democracy on the other - but it must not be grim and fearsome as in the brutal battles of history, or the current US imperialist wars all around the planet, of men killing other men, and women and children and animals and whoever or whatever gets in their way, callously and coldly and mercilessly in terrible ways and great numbers, it must be a joyous, glorious, righteous battle as we fight through the dark of the ignorance and evil of the truly evil elitist capitalist ideology to the light of true awakening and democracy we wake every day ready to engage, ready to learn, ready to share, ready to help our neighbors, ready to always become stronger, ready for victory, ready to celebrate together our journey - we fight for the light, to push back and ultimately destroy the dark clouds of Mordor rolling over us, intent on destroying human freedom and joy forever. This cannot be allowed to happen.
