Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum:

Klaus Schwab, as the founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum (WEF), plays a significant role in shaping global economic policy. The WEF is an international organization that brings together leaders from business, government, academia, and civil society to discuss and address global economic issues.

Through the WEF, Schwab has created a platform for dialogue and partnership. The annual WEF meeting in Davos, Switzerland, is one of the most well-known and influential economic conferences in the world. Here, global leaders discuss a wide range of issues including economic policy, climate change, poverty, and more.

Schwab also influences global economic policy through his writings and thought leadership. He is known for popularizing the concept of the "Fourth Industrial Revolution", which refers to the idea that technological advancements are creating a new phase in human development.

However, it's important to note that while Schwab and the WEF play a role in shaping discussions and bringing attention to certain issues, the actual implementation of economic policy is up to individual governments and institutions. The WEF itself does not have the power to enforce or implement policies.

Compare the coordinated efforts of the totalizing enterprise of the these global leaders to that of the Church:

Now let us compare the concerted voices of global leaders on the left and how they cooperatively develop their policies through power organizations that engage politicians from many countries to adopt the policies that they deem to be appropriate. Note the solutions are created to address non-existent problems that exist in their mind since these leaders are comprised of the less than 1% of the world’s population who view life as a zero-sum enterprise where only their totalizing enterprise can address their belief that everything is in short supply which excessive government regulation and taxation can address.

First of all, the church is not an organization, it is an organism. Literally the living expression on earth of the resurrected Christ who sits at the right hand of God the father until his body has placed all the whiles of the serpent beneath its feet.

 

Our pressing problem, division:

In the New Testament of the Bible, the Apostle Paul addressed the issue of division within the church in his first letter to the Corinthians. In 1 Corinthians 1:10-13, Paul appeals to the Corinthians to unite in their faith and avoid divisions:

"I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought. My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. What I mean is this: One of you says, 'I follow Paul'; another, 'I follow Apollos'; another, 'I follow Cephas'; still another, 'I follow Christ.' Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized in the name of Paul?"

Paul's message emphasizes unity in the church and discourages followers from creating divisions based on allegiance to different leaders. He reminds them that their faith should be centered on Christ, not on human leaders. This passage is often cited in discussions about unity and division within the church. Please note that interpretations may vary, and for a deeper understanding, it may be helpful to study the passage in its full context or seek commentary from religious scholars or leaders.

My conclusions:

This is likely going to offend you but since I value Paul’s advise more than I wish to avoid causing you discomfort, let me state my point clearly. All sectarianism is ungodly. It prevents the people of God from gathering based on the example set down for us by the early church. Remember that it was those who believed the Scriptures to the point where they used them to find reason to crucify Christ for after all that is why the leaders of Judaism had Him put to death, they thought his teaching was blasphemy since they didn’t understand how Christ has fulfilled the Scripture rather than contradicting them. There are far too many “Bible believing” Christians who literally haven’t had sufficient revelation to understand that we will never defeat the doctrines of the false prophets of this age who propose global governance under and unelected body of oligarchs. People who are so narcissistically deluded that their entire belief system is based upon what Dr. James Linday refers to as simulacra. Namely a fake version of reality. How are we to defeat such things when the body of Christ isn’t united in its conviction to meet, gather, preach the Gospel, rebuke sin, expose fallacies when we cannot agree with one another in faith?

From 1^st Corinthians 14:26  from the King James Bible

“How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.”

How many of you have attended a meeting conducted in such a manner? Ask yourselves honestly, then wonder no long why there is little unity of faith!

The predictability of the totalizing enterprise: How I know what the left thinks before they say it

 

The predictability of the totalizing enterprise or how I know what the left thinks before they think it.

My wife uses the phrase “ass hat” to describe folks who one would assume ought to know better but still say foolish and illogical things anyway. Often my wife whose mother tongue is not English invent such phrases since not being restricted by the usual usage of the lingua franca can think outside of the box when inventing new ways of describing fools. Spoiler alert, the left however is driven by linguistic orthodoxy. Which is why “ass hat” is a most fitting epithet since I hear things from them that would lead me to conclude that their ass is indeed located where their brains ought to be. The left has a fascination with their anuses, after all why else would the Federal government of Canada s had tampon dispensers installed in men’s bathrooms? Which other orifice other than one’s rectum (Rectum? Darn near killed ‘em!) would a man be able to insert a menstrual product?  The left is obviously stuck in what Freud referred to as the anal phase of childhood development. The anal stage is the second stage in Sigmund Freud's theory of psychosexual development, taking place approximately between the ages of 18 months and three years. According to Freud, the anus is the primary erogenous zone and pleasure is derived from controlling bladder and bowel movement. The major conflict issue during this stage is toilet training. A fixation at this stage can result in a personality that is too rigid or one that is too disordered. According to Freud's theory, personality is developed through a series of stages, focused on erogenous areas, throughout childhood. A healthy personality in adulthood is dependent upon all of these childhood stages being resolved successfully. If issues are not resolved in a stage, then fixation will occur, resulting in an unhealthy personality. Yes, unhealthy personalities and a weird fixation with anal sex with the mental and emotional maturity of a 3-year-old. No wonder LGBTQ+ is so vital to their entire Zeitgeist with so much of the sexuality they promote at taxpayer’s expense focused on anal intercourse.

Now what do 3-year-olds want? Mommy and daddy to coddle and care for them where their every act of successfully wiping their bottom receives praise as though keeping shit out of your underwear is an achievement worthy of approbation and praise. Herein lies the reason the left believes in the totalizing enterprise. Since they have never matured, since they have not assumed the mental and emotional accountability of adulthood, they seek to create a system that will provide them with everything they need. Such a system requires that others assume responsibility for them including their financial welfare, education, health care, and even what news will be so innocuous that it won’t upset the little darlings.

Of course, those who are orchestrating the demise of Classical Liberalism, the free market, capitalism, and a Rule of Law which holds wrong doers accountable know this full well. Which is why the totalizing enterprise is always guised in catch phrases such as “we are all in this together” even as this globalist class of Besserwissers orchestrates the downfall of democracy which includes the single greatest transference of wealth since 2020 in all of human history and continue to do so under other guises that have nothing to do with what they claim to be doing.

 

As and example just look at the following picture on housing affordability.

 

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn famously said, "Men have forgotten God; that's why all this has happened.", since he believed that the rejection of God played a pivotal role in the rise of totalitarianism and the moral decay of society.

So, to whom does the left cater, whether this be either the deceived leftists or their deceivers? They cater to the zero-sum lunacy of their own totalizing enterprise! Those in charge of orchestrating this believe that they belong to an unelected globalist elite who will dictate to the little people how they must live while they live in unearned privilege. Only the ideologically possessed could possibly believe such things. The new left is comprised of the bastard children of Communism fornicating with Fascism to create an ideology where the elite will control everything, hence the phrase the totalizing enterprise. This enterprise seeks to do four main things, keep the little people in a perpetual state of infantile dependency to the powers that be, attack the nuclear family while perverting human sexuality, persecute the Christian faith by making it a “hate crime” to openly denounce immorality and preach the Gospel, and confiscate and restrict private property through any devious means that they can invent including excessive bureaucracy with a resulting centralized state controlled economy, high taxation, and don't forget their favourite technique of printing money out of thin air while wasting resources on things like installing tampon dispensers in men's bathrooms, and defunding the military at home while funding dubious conflicts and wars abroad.

Now pull that tampon out of your arse, don’t be an asshat and grow up! The nanny state is not your salvation, it does spell your ruin, however. Moreover, it is an idolatrous attempt to recreate the Tower of Babel, namely and all-encompassing system that will reach unto heaven so that this totalized idolatrous enterprise will replace our need for God and fellowship with His people! Like the cult that it is it even has its own secret language which reveals its cult-like belief system.

Dr. James Lindsay views the "woke" culture as a belief system that akin to a gnostic religion, although he refrains from labeling it as such³. He suggests that this belief system, if considered a religion, would be a detrimental one³. According to him, it is based on the premise that racism is the fundamental organizing principle of society, and that it was created by white people for their own benefit³.

Lindsay also argues that Karl Marx, in creating Marxism, was not merely outlining a political or social theory, but was in fact constructing a theology¹. He sees this religious fanaticism for Marxist and socialist ideology as prevalent today in "woke" culture, which he describes as "intrinsically totalitarian"¹.

Furthermore, Lindsay presents the idea of negating the real to replace it with a hyperreal simulation in which totalitarianism can be accomplished⁴. This suggests that the "woke" culture operates within a false image of reality, which enables the establishment of a totalitarian system⁴.

In summary, Lindsay's perspective on the "woke" culture is that it is a belief system with religious undertones, rooted in Marxist theology, that operates within a simulated reality to establish a totalitarian regime. It's important to note that these interpretations are Lindsay's personal views and may not be universally agreed upon.

One thing that has always amazed me, particularly since my experience in Norway which I now see happening in Canada over a much shorter period, I know before I even hear the WOKE speak what they will say. Their entire repertoire is formulaic and their responses to logical challenges are hyper-emotional and reactionary. Yet when I attempt to engage them in a discussion while using ethics, epistemology, and ontology by citing factual sources they respond negatively and in a dismissive or mocking manner without ever citing a single source of evidence that could justify their position. I was criticized back in June when I stated this to a dear friend who then falsely assumed that I meant they all had the same personally or temperament. But that is not the case at all, nor is it what I meant. What makes the left’s responses so remarkable is that despite all their unique personality traits they respond identically when confronted with reality and facts. I can only assume that this is what must have happened in Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union when the group identity came to overpower a person’s individuality to the point where their personality became subjugated to the Borg like collective. I can assure you, if you have not encountered this phenomenon the experience is truly off-putting, and if you have perhaps you will find my explanation useful in understanding the psychological damage that these idea pathogens are wreaking on society and the terrible emotional mind game of this weapon of manipulism and guilt!

New World Disorder and Identity Politics

 

Background as to why we are approaching a singularity:

The danger we face today is that there is nothing left that we could agree on. The classical liberal values which posited that everyone ought to have access to the free market irrespective of race, creed, colour, beliefs, etc. while being treated identically under the law has been replaced with a singular calamity where identity is all that matters. This is returning us to violent fractional warfare where humanity is self destructing. Note that every violent clash is due to identity politics. Also note that the military-industrial complex thrives on such conflicts. Then there's the fact that the litany of arbitrary identities that humanity is creating is completely irrational since they are founded on pure fiction. We have literally rejected everything that worked in an attempt to create a world which cannot exist and are completely willing to murder one another with impunity in a vain attempt to turn unreality into reality. A wealthy globalist elite who are invested in the military-industrial complex exist to exacerbate this tribalism. These organizations function solely to promote division and identity politics which is why every one of them has D.E.I. as one of their key doctrines. And in this “new world disorder” God is deliberately left absent from the equation. Therefore, although the issues our ancestors faced were not identical to our own, they share enough in common with our present challenges to provide us with a map that could possibly stave off this impending disaster.

 

Why English Common Law was vital to the founding of America and in drafting its constitution:

Indeed, English common law played a significant role in the establishment of America and its constitution. The United States and most Commonwealth countries are heirs to the common law legal tradition of English law⁴. Certain practices traditionally allowed under English common law were expressly outlawed by the Constitution, such as bills of attainder and general search warrants⁴.

After the American Revolutionary War, one of the first acts of the new government was to adopt existing English common law in full, unless it contradicted the U.S. Constitution⁵. This included many traditions of British common law, including habeas corpus and jury trials⁵.

However, the legal systems rooted in the English common law have diverged from their parent system over time. In many areas, the legal approaches of common-law countries differ as much from one another as they do from civil-law countries¹. For instance, England has no written constitution and restricts judicial review, whereas every court in the United States possesses the power to pass judgment on the conformity of legislation and on other official actions to constitutional norms¹.

So, while English common law formed the basis, the American legal system has evolved in its own unique direction, influenced by the U.S. Constitution and the needs of the American people¹²⁴⁵.

This statement from Bing ignores the fact that that is exactly how English Common Law was intended to operate since it is based upon case justice and not legislated edicts which come down from on high.

How the UK’s traditions of constitutionalism differed from that of America:

Dr. David Starkey, a renowned historian, has shared his views on why Britain does not have a written constitution. He argues that the absence of a written constitution has actually contributed to Britain's good governance until very recently¹. According to him, there was a set of absolutely binding precedent which was not broken¹.

He also points out that one of the great problems is that when you have no written constitution, there is nothing that is actually entrenched. It's only respect for convention that holds you back². This means that the constitution is flexible and can adapt to changing circumstances, but it also relies heavily on the respect and understanding of these conventions².

As for the term "constitutional monarchy", it refers to a system where the monarch's powers are largely ceremonial, and the real power lies with the Parliament and other elected representatives of the people. The UK is considered a constitutional monarchy because the monarch (the king or queen) is the head of state, while the Prime Minister is the head of government. The laws and policies of the country are decided by the Parliament, not by the monarch.

So, while the UK does not have a written constitution in the way that countries like the United States do, it does have a system of laws and conventions that function as a constitution. And the monarchy is part of this system, but in a largely symbolic role.

The importance of the Glorious Revolution of 1688 to liberty under law:

The Glorious Revolution, also known as the Revolution of 1688, was a significant event in the history of England and had far-reaching impacts. Here are some key events that occurred during the Glorious Revolution:

1. **Deposition of King James II**: The revolution resulted in the deposition of English King James II¹. James II, who was Catholic, supported the freedom of worship for Catholics and appointed Catholic officers to the army². He also had close ties with France, which concerned many of the English people².

2. **Accession of William III and Mary II**: James II's daughter Mary II and her husband, William III, prince of Orange and stadholder of the Netherlands, were invited by both Whig and Tory politicians to bring an army to England to redress the nation’s grievances¹. They ascended to the throne, replacing James II¹.

3. **Establishment of Constitutional Monarchy**: The Glorious Revolution led to the establishment of an English nation that limited the power of the king and provided protections for English subjects⁴. The 1689 Bill of Rights established a constitutional monarchy⁴.

4. **Supremacy of Parliament**: The revolution permanently established Parliament as the ruling power of England—and, later, the United Kingdom—representing a shift from an absolute monarchy to a constitutional monarchy¹.

5. **Impact on the American Colonies**: News of the Revolution spurred hopes of independence among the American colonists, leading to several protests and uprisings against English rule⁵. The Glorious Revolution served as the basis for constitutional law establishing and defining governmental power, as well as the granting and limitation of rights⁵.

The Glorious Revolution was a pivotal moment in English history, setting the stage for the development of modern democratic principles and the rule of law¹²⁴⁵.

The Bill of Rights of 1689 its guarantees of liberty under law:

The Bill of Rights 1689, sometimes known as the Bill of Rights 1688, is an Act of the Parliament of England that set out certain basic civil rights and clarified who would be next to inherit the Crown¹. It remains a crucial statute in English constitutional law¹.

The Bill of Rights was created in 1689 and received royal assent on 16 December 1689¹. It is a restatement in statutory form of the Declaration of Right presented by the Convention Parliament to William III and Mary II in February 1689, inviting them to become joint sovereigns of England¹.

The Bill sets out a constitutional requirement for the Crown to seek the consent of the people as represented in Parliament¹. As well as setting limits on the powers of the monarch, it established the rights of Parliament, including regular parliaments, free elections, and parliamentary privilege¹. It also listed individual rights, including the prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment and the right not to pay taxes levied without the approval of Parliament¹.

The Bill of Rights 1689 is considered a basic document of the uncodified British constitution, along with Magna Carta, the Petition of Right, the Habeas Corpus Act 1679 and the Parliament Acts 1911 and 1949¹. It was one of the models used to draft the United States Bill of Rights, the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights and the European Convention on Human Rights¹.

In terms of its importance to legal justice, the Bill of Rights 1689 established several key principles that are fundamental to a fair and just legal system. These include the right to a fair trial, the prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment, and the principle that taxes cannot be levied without the approval of Parliament¹. These principles have had a profound impact on the development of legal systems around the world¹.

Why the United Empire Loyalists refused to live under French Civil Law after fleeing the newly formed United States to British North America:

The United Empire Loyalists were American colonists who remained loyal to Britain during the American Revolution¹². After the war, tens of thousands of Loyalists migrated to British North America¹². Many of them did not wish to become citizens of the new American republic or feared retribution for their public support of the British⁵.

When they arrived in Canada, they brought with them a desire for a colonial administration modeled under British institutions and common law⁴⁸. This included English laws of land tenure⁸ and a push for more representative government³⁶. They wanted laws and institutions that reflected their British heritage, not those of France³⁶.

In response to the influx of these Loyalist settlers, Upper Canada (modern-day Ontario) was created in 1791³⁷. This division allowed the Loyalist American settlers and British immigrants in Upper Canada to live under English laws and institutions⁷. Meanwhile, the French-speaking population of Lower Canada (southern parts of present-day Quebec) could maintain French civil law and the Catholic religion⁴⁷. This arrangement catered to the preferences of both groups and helped maintain peace and order in the region.

The establishment of peace, order, and good government as the defining principle upon which Canada ought to be governed:

The phrase "peace, order, and good government" is used in section 91 of the British North America Act of 1867, now known as the Constitution Act, 1867¹²³. This phrase provides a broad and somewhat vague definition of the Canadian Parliament's lawmaking authority over provincial matters¹².

The phrase was originally used in a British colonial context to give local governments the power to make laws¹. Variants of the phrase, such as "peace, welfare, and good government," appear in several of Canada's founding documents leading up to Confederation in 1867².

Sections 91 and 92 of the Act set out the distribution of federal and provincial powers². The reference to "peace, order, and good government" establishes that the federal Parliament can make laws for the peace, order, and good government of Canada, in relation to all matters not coming within the classes of subjects assigned exclusively to the legislatures of the provinces².

This provision, commonly referred to as the POGG power, allocates residuary jurisdiction for the areas of law not otherwise set out in sections 91 and 92 to the federal Parliament². Over the years, the POGG power has been interpreted and used as a basis for federal legislation where there is a gap in the distribution of federal and provincial powers, for matters of national concern, and for emergency matters².

The phrase has also taken on a value of its own with Canadians beyond its constitutional purpose. It has come to be seen as the Canadian counterpart to the American "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" and the French "liberty, equality, fraternity"¹.

My conclusions:

The question we must answer is how are we to proceed when the underpinning foundations of the Rule of Law and the governing principles of Peace, Order, and Good Government have been gutted by Cultural Marxist Revolutionaries who are deliberately altering the very nature of Canada’s legal system and democracy by means of identity politics? That is the very question I am posing to you. Obviously, this channel exists to address these very issues. It is my concerted opinion that only God Himself can buttress such a righteous and just system. The very kind of government our ancestors pursued who risked their very lives and fortunes in this pursuit. The call to restore limited constitutional government under God falls upon us if we are to be found worthy of the inheritance we received from those who struggled mightily against unjust and illiberal tyranny. The Bible has several passages that speak to God's view on unjust rulers:

1. **Proverbs 29:2**: "When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, But when a wicked man rules, people groan."¹

2. **Proverbs 28:15**: "Like a roaring lion and a rushing bear Is a wicked ruler over a poor people."¹

3. **Isaiah 10:1**: "Woe to those who enact evil statutes And to those who constantly record unjust decisions."¹

4. **Micah 7:3**: "Concerning evil, both hands do it well. The prince asks, also the judge, for a bribe."¹

5. **Isaiah 1:23**: "Your rulers are rebels And companions of thieves; Everyone loves a bribe And chases after rewards. They do not defend the orphan, Nor does the widow’s plea come before them."¹

6. **Ezekiel 22:27**: "Her princes within her are like wolves tearing the prey, by shedding blood and destroying lives in order to get dishonest gain."¹

7. **Isaiah 3:14**: "The Lord enters into judgment with the elders and princes of His people, “It is you who have devoured the vineyard; The plunder of the poor is in your houses."¹

These verses highlight God's disapproval of unjust rulers and the negative impact they have on their people. They serve as a reminder of the importance of justice and righteousness in leadership. Without God there can be no peace, order, and good government. The laws and traditions our ancestors bequeathed us are a direct result of their faith in a just God who despises wicked rulers who take bribes and govern by tyranny. Which is why the Cultural Marxists have taken direct aim at the traditions we inherited to undermine the very foundations of peace, order, and good government. I say that once again it is time for another, “Glorious Revolution” in our time to restore good government under an Almighty and just God!

Are Trudeau's policies killing Canadians?

 

The topic of this podcast on that of democide, namely the murder of citizens by their own governments. This subject is so dark and perverse that I've only been able to do my research and write about it in fits and starts before I have needed to take a break. This episode will prove that the number one source of harm and murder done to the citizenry originates with their own governments who commit atrocities while claiming that their murderous tyranny promotes the good of the many over the rights of the few. Without this lie the real nature of their anti-human agenda would become apparent which is why those in power protect this lie at all costs.

My research includes a review of the work of the late Dr. Rudolph Joseph Rummel (October 21, 1932 – March 2, 2014) who was an American political scientist and professor at the Indiana University, Yale University, and University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. Dr. Rummel spent his career studying data on collective violence and war with a view toward helping their resolution or elimination. Contrasting genocide, Rummel coined the term democide for murder by government, such as the genocide of indigenous peoples and colonialism, Nazi Germany, the Stalinist purges, Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution, and other authoritarian, totalitarian, or undemocratic regimes, coming to the conclusion that democratic regimes result in the least democides. Reiterating Rummel’s conclusion, it is fair to state that a preeminent fact about governments (focusing especially on the 20th century) is that many of them “murdered millions in cold blood.” What’s more, tens of millions of additional human beings were slaughtered by governments as a result of foreign aggression and intervention (“war”).

I add to Dr. Rummel’s conclusions on democide the findings of the Commissioner's Report of the National Citizen's Inquiry which can be read at this link https://nationalcitizensinquiry.ca/commissioners-report/  On Tuesday, November 28, 2023, the National Citizens Inquiry (NCI) released the final report of its months-long investigation into Canada’s response to COVID-19. This report follows the September 14 release of an interim report focused on the regulatory approval process and safety of COVID-19 vaccines.

The Report was written by NCI’s four independent Commissioners: Chairperson Mr. Ken Drysdale, Ms. Heather DiGregorio, Ms. Janice Kaikkonen and Dr. Bernard Massie. The Report is the culmination of their efforts to:

-listen to the testimony of over 300 witnesses who told the Commissioners and all Canadians what happened to them during the COVID-19 crisis, or shared their expertise on subjects ranging from the economy and education, to mental health and medical science, to media and institutional censorship, to social harms and civic losses—to name just a few.

-learn how Canadians were affected by the policies enacted by governments and other organizations in response to COVID-19.

-recommend ways health and other crises can be better managed in future, to reduce and avoid the many harms that Canadians experienced since COVID-19 began in early 2020.

The Commissioners expressed deep appreciation for the individuals and organizations who courageously came forward to share their experiences, expertise and perspectives, and which led to the report and recommendations now available here.

Summary:

The National Citizens Inquiry (NCI) into Canada's response to COVID-19 released its final report on November 28, 2023⁶. The report was based on the testimony of more than 300 members of the public and expert witnesses during 24 days of hearings in eight cities and additional virtual hearings⁶. The report contains hundreds of recommendations impacting all segments of Canadian society⁶.

The report describes profound damage done to the fabric of Canadian society and the nation⁶. It documents heartbreaking and deeply shocking testimony from people who experienced adverse vaccine reactions, disruption of livelihoods and education, impaired mental health, reputational damage, professional discipline, and censorship⁶.

The report laments that although subpoenas were issued to 63 members of government, regulators, and authorities urging them to testify, none appeared⁶. The Commissioners' Report describes how the widespread acceptance of stringent government lockdowns, which would have previously been deemed inconceivable, represents a remarkable shift within a mere three years⁶.

The report asserts that the policy, legal, and health authority interventions into the lives of Canadians, their families, businesses, and communities were significant⁶. These interventions have impacted the physical and mental health, civil liberties and fundamental freedoms, jobs and livelihoods, and overall social and economic well-being of nearly all Canadians⁶.

The report also criticizes the role that the public and private broadcasters played in terrorizing the public and then merely acting as mouthpieces of the government who relentlessly pounded Canadians with 24/7 propaganda without questions⁶.

There can be no doubt left to any thinking and informed person that the state has exceeded its proper and legal mandate to govern to become the primary source of murderous tyranny as it pursued policies that promoted an illiberal, authoritarian agenda that was entirely detrimental to the health, well-being, social cohesion, and economic prosperity of all Canadians, particularly the most marginalized.

To be blunt, the greatest enemy we are facing as a nation comes from our own government and its bureaucracy accompanied by the incredible unwillingness of many, if not most, Canadians to find the political will to remove these corrupt dictatorial oligarchs from power so that they can be held legally accountable for their treasonous unconstitutional overreach in a court of law since our overlords have blood on their hands!

Experiencing a constant barrage of contradictions from trusted individuals can have significant psychological effects. The human brain is hardwired to seek consistency; when persistent, unresolved internal contradictions arise between people's everyday decisional premises, it can generate mental distress that manifests in mental dysfunction¹.

Many people who are consistently distrusting have good reason for being so. But a tendency not to trust others can have severe consequences in a number of domains—particularly interpersonal relationships—and can exacerbate loneliness, depression, or antisocial behavior³.

Anxiety and depressive disorders may be a function of unresolved contradictions. Evidence from fMRI/lesion studies suggests that anxiety/depression engender contradiction between perfectionist demands and reality perception. Such conflicts in the premises of the person's practical reasoning network generate somatosensory threat feelings¹.

These feelings are conceptualized in terms of linguistic acts of catastrophizing, damning, and thinking that "I can't". A logic-based cognitive-behavioral therapy (LBT) can key into the premises of such self-defeating reasoning¹.

Chronic distrust can affect how you view yourself and all the relationships in your life. You might find you frequently doubt other people will come through on their obligations, for example, or you may be afraid of getting too close to others or feel suspicious when someone is kind to you².

Certain mental health disorders may involve symptoms of distrust or paranoia, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), paranoid personality disorder, dependent personality disorder, psychosis/psychotic disorders, depressive disorders, and anxiety disorders².

Here is an excellent article reviewing Dr. Rummel’s findings which is precisely why I do not trust the MAN. The unlimited government is not your friend. We must demand the restoration of limited constitutional government with rules that permit us to rid ourselves of wicked leaders for that power in the hands of the electorate is essential to peace, order, and good government. The article is entitled, “Nations Kill a Lot of People” by Richard A. Koenigsberg and is available at this link: https://www.libraryofsocialscience.com/newsletter/posts/2015/2015-06-18-RAK.html

Reviewing the history of the 20th century, nation-states have something in common: they killed millions upon millions of human beings. Do we wish to say that each event—each instance of death by government—had a unique, idiosyncratic cause? This mode of explanation violates the principle of parsimony.

Although tens of millions of people were murdered by governments in the 20th century, we’d prefer not to consider the possibility that killing or slaughter is one of the basic functions of the nation-state.

Based on a lifetime of research on democide (see previous LSS Newsletter), Rudy Rummel calculates that—for the period of 1900-1999—a total of 262 million human beings were murdered by governments. This figure excludes deaths that occurred based on clashes between armies (direct military conflict).

The typical figure for First World War casualties is 9 million dead, and it is estimated that 56 million died during the Second World War. If we factor in other wars during the 20th century, perhaps a minimum of 325 million human beings were killed as a result of collective forms of violence generated by nation-states (we omit here discussion of the “wounded”).

Whatever the exact figure—and whatever descriptive words we use (genocide or war or mass murder or democide), a salient fact of the 20th century is that hundreds of millions of people were killed based on actions undertaken by governments. Based on his research, Rummel concludes that the “preeminent fact about government” is that “some murder millions in cold blood.”

Historians study specific cases of war or genocide or mass murder. The search for “causes” focuses on the origins of—the factors leading up to—the occurrence of this or that event. A shibboleth of anthropological and historical research (and of post-modernism) is that each event is unique—and can be properly studied only within a particular cultural context.

Still, reviewing the history of the 20th century, nation-states have something in common: they took actions that led to the deaths of millions upon millions of human beings. Do we really wish to argue that each instance of death by generated by a government had a unique, idiosyncratic cause? Is this mode of explanation consistent with the principle of parsimony?

The orbit of Mercury around the sun differs from the orbit of the earth and that of Jupiter. Yet the path of each planet is governed by the Law of Universal Gravitation. We don’t yet have a law or principle allowing us to generalize about state (collective forms of) violence. Still, we can begin to pay attention to—focus our awareness upon—the fact that nation-states kill a lot of people.

Discussing his bibliography on democide approximately 20 years ago, Rummel explains that he teaches a university course, “Introduction to Political Science,” and each semester reviews and considers books for an introductory text (the best measure of the state of a particular academic discipline, he says) to use for his course.

Rummel “shakes his head” at what he finds in these political science textbooks. The concepts and views presented in these standard texts appear “grossly unrealistic.” They do not fit or explain—and are even contradictory to—the existence of a “hell-State like Pol Pot’s Cambodia and a Gulag-state like Stalin’s Soviet Union, or a Genocide State like Hitler’s Germany.”

One textbook, Rummel says, spent a chapter describing the functions of government. Among these were “law and order, individual security, cultural maintenance, and social welfare.” Political scientists write like this even though we have numerous examples of governments that “kill millions of their own people, and enslave the rest.”

Presented through the lens of these standard textbooks, politics is a matter of “inputs and outputs, citizen inputs, aggregation by political parties, government determining policy, and bureaucracies implementing it.” There is especially the “common and fundamental justification of government—that it exists to protect citizens against the anarchic jungle that would otherwise threaten their lives and property.”

Such archaic or sterile views, Rummel says, show “no appreciation of democide’s existence and all its related horrors and suffering.” Rummel concludes that we have “no concept for murder as an aim of public policy, determined by discussion among the government elite in the highest councils, and imposed through government bureaucracy.” What is needed is a reconceptualization of government and politics consistent with what we now know about democide. New concepts have to be invented.

It is true that the field of “comparative genocide” has recently emerged. Political scientists and historians have begun to recognize that the Holocaust was only one instance of genocide. There are other cases of governments intentionally murdering hundreds of thousands, even millions, of human beings.

In examining textbooks on political science and government, however, Rummel says that he found in the indexes of these books “barely a single reference to genocide, mass-murder, killed, dead, executed or massacred.” Most of these texts even omit index references to “concentration camps or labor camps or gulags” (although they may have a paragraph or two on these topics).

Reiterating Rummel’s conclusion, it is fair to state that a preeminent fact about governments (focusing especially on the 20th century) is that many of them “murdered millions in cold blood.” What’s more, tens of millions of additional human beings were slaughtered by governments as a result of foreign aggression and intervention (“war”).

One might say: why spoil the minds of young people—contaminate them—by conveying unpalatable facts in introductory texts? Which is a way of raising a broader question: why be concerned with seeking to discover and to convey the truth?

There is an abundance of “history books” studying events that resulted in the deaths of millions of human beings. The First and Second World Wars and the Holocaust are popular topics. More recently, books on mass-murder by communist states (the Soviet Union, China and Cambodia) have become more common.

Still, we prefer not to make generalizations. We’d like to maintain our belief in or fantasy about the “goodness” of nation-states. We live in a state of denial—preferring to maintain our illusions.

What would happen if we adopted a posture of looking at the truth rather than one of denial? What benefits would accrue?

With regards,

Richard Koenigsberg

PS: I began this inquiry exploring “security studies,” a field that—beginning with Hobbes’ concept of the “state of nature”—proposes (Barry Buzan) that states come into being in the pursuit of “freedom from threats”. The idea or image of a “state of nature” where “unbearable chaos” reigns—gives rise to states as a mechanism to “achieve adequate levels of security” against threats. Governments and the state are born when individuals are willing to “sacrifice some freedom in order to improve levels of security.”

There is no evidence for the existence of a “state of nature.” The theory is pure conjecture, if not fantasy. As for the proposition that states provide “security”—based on the evidence presented here—the less said, the better.

I find Rummel’s views on the following particularly compelling given the effects of COVIDEONISM AND NET-ZERO CARBON EMISSIONS on individual wellbeing, the well documented effects of lockdowns and masking and distancing mandates on the psychological wellbeing of children, the banking industry’s propensity to print money out of thin air to fund illiberal authoritarians policies, and the incredible damage to civil liberties as indicated by the sheer number of cases before the courts where the state is being sued for governmental overreach.

Mortacide

While democide requires governmental intention, Rummel was also interested in analyzing the effects of regimes that unintentionally, yet culpably, cause the deaths of their citizens through negligence, incompetence or sheer indifference. An example is a regime in which corruption has become so pervasive and destructive of a people's welfare that it threatens their daily lives and reduces their life expectancy. Rummel termed deaths of citizens under such regimes as mortacide, and posited that democracies have the fewest of such deaths.[33]

Famine, economic growth, and happiness

Rummel included famine in democide, if he deemed it the result of a deliberate policy, as he did for the Holodomor. Rummel stated that there have been no famines in democracies, deliberate or not, an argument first advanced by Amartya Sen,[32] and he also posited that democracy is an important factor for economic growth and for raising living standards.[34][35] He stated that research shows average happiness in a nation increases with more democracy.[36] According to Rummel, the continuing increase in the number of democracies worldwide would lead to an end to wars and democide. He believed that goal might be achieved by the mid-21st century.[37]

**Title:** The Power of Democracy: An Examination of Rudolph Rummel's Political Position

**Introduction**

Rudolph Rummel, an American political scientist, dedicated his career to studying collective violence and war with the aim of helping their resolution or elimination¹². He is known for his research on war and conflict resolution¹, and his work has significantly influenced the field of political science².

**Rummel's Political Position**

Rummel started his career as a democratic socialist but later became an anti-communist, a libertarian, and an advocate of economic liberalism¹. His political position is deeply rooted in his belief in the power of democracy and its ability to prevent violence and foster peace¹².

**Democratic Peace Theory**

One of Rummel's most significant contributions to political science is the democratic peace theory¹. He argued that democratic states are less likely to engage in mass violence or wage wars against each other¹². This theory suggests that the more democratic a regime, the less likely it is to engage in violence, genocide, and mass murder².

**Democracy as a Means to Wealth and Prosperity**

Rummel also believed that democratic freedom is not only a method of nonviolence but also a means to wealth and prosperity². He argued that the power of freedom to improve human affairs extends to social and economic development².

**Conclusion**

Rudolph Rummel's political position emphasizes the power of democracy in preventing violence and fostering peace, prosperity, and development. His work provides valuable insights into the role of democracy in shaping a peaceful and prosperous society¹².

My conclusions:

I am calling for a day of national repentance. In the absence of God we have made an idol of the state. It has become a metastasizing monster not merely capable of all manner of causing us harm but doing so under the guise of pursuing a progressive agenda. Unless your idea of progress is the death and illness and ruin of the lives of innocents, we must face the fact that without God the god of this world will assume the role of governing us by creating murderous hell on earth.

From the New King James Version Deuteronomy 30:19 “I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;”
