We have a very diverse set of positions in this country that are dominated by a number of situations such as: what TV programming is being watched; with which church one is affiliated; whether one is conservative or socialist; and whether one is a democrat or republican.

We are mostly concerned with the difference between a democracy and a republic with the main point being that our country is to be a republic and not a democracy.

Let’s show which form of government would back which position. The main issue is, how far do you go to fight a virus?

Those standing for a republic, firstly and fore-mostly want to stay within the framework of the law, while looking after individual rights. Lives are critical but within boundaries. People are allowed to drive cars and at high speeds even though deaths will occur and will do so especially at higher speeds. The well-being of the total society is taken into account. A value is put on life in dollars and cents so one can get a better handle on how much should be spent on such things as guardrails. A republic tends to take things as they come and not do a bunch of forward planning because so much can be wasted in time and money.

Democracy, on the other hand, is ideally looking to represent the people, as opposed to the law (constitution) but in reality, the man representing the democracy almost always has his own agenda. A representative of democracy quite often believes in socialism which is treasonous to a republic because socialism stands against the constitution which is there to safeguard the rights of the people. A democracy is interested in buying as many votes as it can (with state funds). Being inclined to socialism, a democracy usually does not mind doing something which will support the downfall of free-enterprise so they can, theoretically, institute a more perfect socialistic society.

So when it comes to shutting down businesses, for whatever reason especially if one can claim that lives are at stake, those who are representative of democracy will work to extend the shut-down and the representative of a republic will work to restore life to normalcy in order to safeguard individual rights and protect the economy.

Any new situation takes some time in order to get one’s feet under him so he can react properly. Some people are quicker than others. Additionally, of course, there are those who know ahead of time what is coming and what is being planned if a certain type of thing happens. It is not socially acceptable to talk about conspiracy because you have to point fingers at people. Also if one has a high degree of education one has it highly ingrained not to allow conspiratorial ideas to be put forward. But I think most Americans can remember 9/11 and I do not think it is important to describe what that means because it is so ingrained into men’s minds after all the brain-washing that went on at the time. It was a conspiracy which ran a lot deeper and concerned many more than just the people flying the planes.

A key to understanding terrorism is understanding the thinking of the terrorists. The organized terrorist is not so interested in destroying buildings and or killing people. One of the statements which tell what terrorism is run thus: “The action is in the reaction.” In other words, they are interested in forming your reaction so they can accomplish their goal. They were attacking our country, not the trade center. And the purpose was to turn our government into our enemy by changing the government so that it takes away our constitutional rights. The terrorists have won the war on terrorism. The terrorists managed to take a good deal of our freedoms.

If one will look at this coronavirus situation and compare it to 9/11 one can easily see the similarities. The Hype. The shutting-down of the nation. Most people thought they would have a hard time accepting that what is going on now is a terrorist attack.

The virus, I believe, was not purposely released but that could be debated especially in China. But the news media’s part in all of it is quite obvious. They have built all the hype to drive the reaction. Remember, The Action is in the Reaction. So the essential terrorist, in this case, is the news media. Yet the number one perpetrator was the Imperial College of London who produced the COVID Act Now Model, which was used to push unsuspecting politicians into acceptance of the model and then to carry out the shutting down of the economy. The organization had said; “this model is designed to drive fast action, not predict the future.” But that is not what the president and governors were told. The organization had run this hoax before, with other viruses including Ebola, SARS, MERSA, etc. They were looking for the right situation to turn into a perceived pandemic. The web site that better shows what went on is;

What needs to be done is for us to get back to work. The enemies will face the consequences in due time.

Why We Are a Republic, Not a Democracy

Walter E. Williams / January 17, 2018 / comments

The Founding Fathers designed a system that places heavy checks on the power of the majority.

Commentary By

Walter E. Williams

Walter E. Williams is a professor of economics at George Mason University.

Hillary Clinton blamed the Electoral College for her stunning defeat in the 2016 presidential election in her latest memoirs, “What Happened.”

Some have claimed that the Electoral College is one of the most dangerous institutions in American politics.

Why? They say the Electoral College system, as opposed to a simple majority vote, distorts the one-person, one-vote principle of democracy because electoral votes are not distributed according to population.

To back up their claim, they point out that the Electoral College gives, for example, Wyoming citizens disproportionate weight in a presidential election.

Americans need an alternative to the mainstream media. But this can’t be done alone.Find out more >>

Put another way, Wyoming, a state with a population of about 600,000, has one member in the House of Representatives and two members in the U.S. Senate, which gives the citizens of Wyoming three electoral votes, or one electoral vote per 200,000 people.

California, our most populous state, has more than 39 million people and 55 electoral votes, or approximately one vote per 715,000 people.

Comparatively, individuals in Wyoming have nearly four times the power in the Electoral College as Californians.

Many people whine that using the Electoral College instead of the popular vote and majority rule is undemocratic. I’d say that they are absolutely right. Not deciding who will be the president by majority rule is not democracy.

>>> Liberals Claim Electoral College Is Biased. Here Are the Facts.

But the Founding Fathers went to great lengths to ensure that we were a republic and not a democracy. In fact, the word democracy does not appear in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, or any other of our founding documents.

How about a few quotations expressed by the Founders about democracy?

In Federalist Paper No. 10, James Madison wanted to prevent rule by majority faction, saying, “Measures are too often decided, not according to the rules of justice and the rights of the minor party, but by the superior force of an interested and overbearing majority.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

Edmund Randolph said, “That in tracing these evils to their origin, every man had found it in the turbulence and follies of democracy.”

Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

The Founders expressed contempt for the tyranny of majority rule, and throughout our Constitution, they placed impediments to that tyranny. Two houses of Congress pose one obstacle to majority rule. That is, 51 senators can block the wishes of 435 representatives and 49 senators.

The president can veto the wishes of 535 members of Congress. It takes two-thirds of both houses of Congress to override a presidential veto.

To change the Constitution requires not a majority but a two-thirds vote of both houses, and if an amendment is approved, it requires ratification by three-fourths of state legislatures.

Finally, the Electoral College is yet another measure that thwarts majority rule. It makes sure that the highly populated states—today, mainly 12 on the east and west coasts, cannot run roughshod over the rest of the nation. That forces a presidential candidate to take into consideration the wishes of the other 38 states.

>>> Why We Use Electoral College, Not Popular Vote

Those Americans obsessed with rule by popular majorities might want to get rid of the Senate, where states, regardless of population, have two senators.

Should we change representation in the House of Representatives to a system of proportional representation and eliminate the guarantee that each state gets at least one representative?

Currently, seven states with populations of 1 million or fewer have one representative, thus giving them disproportionate influence in Congress.

While we’re at it, should we make all congressional acts by majority rule? When we’re finished with establishing majority rule in Congress, should we then move to change our court system, which requires unanimity in jury decisions, to a simple majority rule?

My question is: Is it ignorance of or contempt for our Constitution that fuels the movement to abolish the Electoral College?

The main point of this blog “What Democracy” is that this country is suppose to be a Republic and that the people as a rule believe this is suppose to be a Democracy so they elected officials who act and react like a Democracy. The way you control a Democracy is through extreme events. Like the 9/11 attacks on the world trade center. Which then brought about the government meddling in private affairs and the loss of personal liberties. A larger out of control government.

A video produced some 25-30 years ago named: No Place to Hide, The Strategy and Tactics of Terrorism, very will showed the different terror attacks at that time and interviewed a number of terrorist along with the review of the terrorist manuals to show that: The Action is in the Reaction. That is that the purpose of organized terrorism is not to kill maim and destroy but is rather to stampede the target country into actions which will weaken that country. The 9/11 attacks caused more lose of our freedoms than what we have seen in this country sense the founding of the Federal Reserve and Income Tax.

The way you control a Democracy is by actions which cause mob rule. In a country which understands it is a Republic and how a republic works terrorism brings about a resolve which goes against the terrorist not towards mob rule. So lets watch our reaction so we truly counter the enemy and not promote him and his purposes.

So remember The Action the terrorist is looking for is in the Reaction.
