All we have been doing is voting for more government slavery by trying to choose the least whip-happy master. You are never voting for freedom. Government was invented to control the citizen, not give the citizen a voice.

We aren’t sure it was invented to control people. But it certainly is used for that now and is corrupted fully and the people no longer have a voice. Look at the Democratic Party for example. Not a single person voted in the primary for these choices.

Maybe not invented, but sure looks like it was modified for the purpose, imho ...

Exactly, thank you. Everyone is focused on "Citizenship" these days..... what is it other than an attempt to monitor who is who and where they are. Time to start embracing the idea of the Individual Sovereign. Sui Juris.

To me, a "collective" sense of intelligence is going to have elements of strong individualism and also, a strong sense of individualized cooperation.

The voting, unfortunately has zero effect, it may only send a message about just how many people out there, are desperate to "believe" their voice counts.

Group sovereignty is a much stronger force than individual sovereignty as long as the individual is protected in these system. Actually not just protected, honored.

Have you checked out Network States? Digital countries? Balaji Srinivasan wrote the book about them. The idea is appealing and interesting.

The primary effect of voting, in my simple mind, it to legitimize an entirely illegitimate and thoroughly corrupt system. Was the Bill of Rights actually a Bill of Goods to con the populace into accepting the new Constitution? Kinda looks that way now, huh?

Well said. "Problem solvers" indeed.

We have been conned. Dictated by the City of London and proselytised by the investment banker alliance through gullible academics and journalists, we have been indoctrinated to believe democracy consists of electing strangers to determine our future for us. As Acton observed, this places cumulative power in the hands of the elected, and power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. It is only a matter of time before the Elected becomes the Ruler and, very quickly, the Dictator. This has happened globally, right now.

So what is democracy? Thomas Paine spelled it out in 'The Rights of Man', but the key is "The People are the source of all authority". Abraham Lincoln studied the words of Paine and observing the banker-driven distortions of the word 'representative', created his lyrical cameo "Government of the people, by the people and for the people". Contemporarily, with the tyranny of distance no longer requiring a representative to convey our will to the administration, every citizen can outline or detail his wishes to whatever extent he wishes and convey this to the administration for installation. Excluded as extraneous are politicians, parliaments, voting, elections and glorious edifaces that are in fact proxy palaces.

In practice, referenda (CIR) can be drafted in three or more alternative formats, one enabling priority check boxes for budget investment or alocation, a second providing several options per folio, and a third permitting the citizen to submit his values on all portfolios, in book form if he so wishes. A mathematical fact is that there is more knowledge, wisdom and expoerience outside of conventional government than within it; and laws of economics illuminate the reality that referenda enables the administration to benefit from every single item of knowledge and skill in the nation, whereas politicians are an obstacle to the knowledge/wisdom pool.

The globalists have miscalculated. Incrementally, they are replacing politicians with oligarchs, but oligarchs can much more easily be cut down, and by fewer people. Citizens who are awake despair at the low percentage who see reality but they may feel more optimistic if hey realise that the percentage of citizens who participated in the American Revolution was a mere 3%. Today, we need less. And, because the globalists are psychoipaths, our collective intelligence is better balaanced and, moreover, we can trust each other, but the globalists cannot. Each one secretly wants to rule the world. They are their own chicane; their own abyss. And I know how to walk them to the edge.
