Most people
think that when a nation achieves political independence, that that nation will
finally be governed for 100% of her citizens. The people, however, must be the
ones to make sure that their own oligarchs don’t end up doing the same thing to
them as their former empire. Please click on the following link to see what

Just because
a nation says that she is a democracy doesn’t necessarily mean that she is. The
real test lies in what that government does.
The United States
(US), for example, boasts that she is the “champion of democracy and human
rights”. The US, on the other hand, permits 300.000 of her citizens to die
every year from preventable causes. As if that wasn’t enough, the US permits 38
million of her citizens to live in poverty. Understandably, only 40% (an “F”) of
US citizens are satisfied with our government. If the US is a democracy, her
citizens don’t like it!
The People’s
Republic of China, a nation the US calls authoritative, has done the incredible
job of lifting out of poverty 800 million of her citizens. That is 2 and a half
times the entire population of the US! The Chinese, obviously, are 90% satisfied
with their government. As far as I’m concerned, China’s government is the best textbook
definition of democracy that I have ever seen!
We first
must be aware of the problem, before we can fix it. With the war in Ukraine
continuing to escalate, our time is running out.
No US taxation
without 100% representation!
