Assume Reagan was cleaning up some of democratic Carter's mess as what Trump did with Obama.. Believe in wisdom of Thomas Sowell? “If the election goes to Biden...there’s a good chance that the Democrats will then control the two branches of Congress and the White House. And considering the kinds of things that they’re proposing, that could well be the point of no return for this country.” Thomas Sowell, July 2020 ***** "If you want to believe that COVID, Climate Change, and Lockdowns are all entirely separate from BUILD BACK BETTER, then that is your problem. A conspiracy theory is MAKING UP things from questionable data. Here we have outright hard data and statements made but world leaders all mouthing the same agenda. We have instantly Biden shutting down pipelines and John Kerry telling miners to learn how to make solar panels. The lockdowns and militarization of Washington are not worried Trump supporters will storm the capital to take selfies again. They are worried about a revolution when the people see how many jobs are being lost PERMANENTLY and (affecting children-future) how these people are conspiring against the people to create a different world that was NEVER explained to the people or allowed them to vote on something that would change their entire future. And you call this democracy? Media shutting down free speech is to also to prevent any organization that would rise up into a revolution. They have been promised international backing and they will put traditional banks out of business. BigTech sees the power to overthrow the banks. They have promised worldwide that they want everyone in the banking system to end paper money, which is over 1 billion people (just read the IMF). So their shutting down of all opponents is not part of a conspiracy either? It’s just some random act they came up with for no reason when section 230 says they have no responsibility? And Zuckerberg spent $419 million to defeat Trump but that too had nothing to do with anything else whatsoever? armstrongeconomics.com ** Direct Democracy VOTING: If we can buy online with no problem, we should be able to vote the same way. You then cross-reference each vote to the tax database. If they never filed a tax form, then they cannot vote. Locally, it can be linked to your local tax records since we have direct taxation. Those who do not have a computer can do so from their phone or go to the public town hall. Without direct democracy, there will be no trust in government ever again. That is a death blow to the system we now have. Switzerland has the closest thing to a direct democracy so far. There are three instruments of direct democracy; all types of referendums: mandatory, popular initiative, and optional. A vote must be held on any amendment to the constitution resulting in a mandatory referendum. A double majority, meaning the consent of a majority of the people and of the cantons, is required to amend the country’s constitution. Citizens can launch a popular initiative to demand a change to the constitution. Any Swiss citizen who is eligible to vote can sign a popular initiative and a group of at least seven citizens (the initiative committee) can launch their own popular initiative. Before a vote is held on a popular initiative, the initiative committee must collect 100,000 valid signatures in favor of the proposal within a period of 18 months. The Federal Council and Parliament will recommend whether the proposal should be accepted or rejected. For the proposal to be accepted, a double majority is needed. If it is accepted, new legislation or an amendment to the existing legislation is normally required to implement the new constitutional provision. Other nations can change their constitutions on a vote of the representative and the people never are even asked. That to me is a very dangerous distinction. For example, in Canada, they passed an act whereby the representatives can cancel all currency at their pleasure and force the people into digital currency. The people are NEVER consulted. That is not democracy. It is tyranny.
