Jewels of Truth Statement: "Democracy Come Undone"

Hello All,

Recently as I have been witnessing the devolution of politics in my own country at least on the Federal National level. Like many of my own countryman I have felt appalled, apathetic, disappointed, besides many other stomach turning emotions. This is not to say there is no hope, yes there is hope. However it may not fully materialize itself in our present tense by the litany of shenanigans of our elected buffoons. Since truly a congress under a zoological sense is considered a pack of buffoons by the definition of the word. Yet, this is insulting the literal buffoons as our primate cousins to compare them to near useless elected political officials.

The following "Jewels of Truth" statement #1607 was written on the topic of Governance. It's more so directly pointed at America's contemporary disposition in terms to illogical and ineffective governance policies. With its petty and selfish bickering in our national halls of power. In the wake of all this inaction perhaps unrealized by many its creating a literal and figurative power vacuum in Washington D.C. Whereby if the Federal government is no longer seen as credible, than the States in themselves will usurp more power to their own ends. Creating a new or old "Tug of War" between the Federal powers versus the States semi-autonomy.

This is what happens as unintended consequences to the "Great American Sell Out". By our political leaders to the capitalists (monied special interests) without much pension for ethics or morality. True profits, led by false prophets ain't that a recipe for disaster in the world?

Governance:

1607) For a nation to value its contributions to the world. It must first make an honest assessment of what it holds dearest in societal values. Sometimes hypocrisy will creep into such a discourse. When elegant and noble platitudes will be paid lip service. Where in the farthest reaches away from the public eye is mischief afoot. Setting up a program of maleficence in order to maintain internal and external grips on power at nearly any cost.

If such a nation is a declared democracy it won't stay one for long. For the classical modus operandi  has changed in order to calcify its base of power. The term the "Emperor Wears No Clothing" signifies a "House of Cards" or in other words a power vacuum is occurring. A costly game of charades where even ones allies across the globe are confused as to your actual motivations. Pretenders posing as the ideological solution parade themselves across all forms of public media outlets as the populace consumes the news. Truly do not follow the clowns for their amusement is not to be desired. These are the charlatans seeking fame and fortune to develop their own "Cult of Personality". False Prophets by any other name to confuse the sincere and entertain the vain at heart.

When a nations cultural celebrities are gossiped over the neglect of the masses. Than surely a societal revolution is simmering just beneath the surface. This is when the temperature of a nation becomes frothy where tempers begin to boil over the pot. Ignore the pains of a society to your own undoing in the end. Whistle blowers seeking to alleviate the steam being generated senselessly soon find themselves as public enemy number one by the State. Patriots of tomorrow despised today by the actual felons committing crimes against the populace. Only to become upheld by the doctrines of subterfuge allowed by the State, but revealed by the whistle blowers.

Revolt is not the answer, but civil disobedience is the first line of defense against gross injustice across the land. Deny not the dignity of those you disagree with in terms to secular governance policy. Never demonize them lest you seek violence over peace. Make not enemies of your own countryman. Resolve differences in the spirit of goodwill led by true compromise. Otherwise the nation will erupt into chaos, if not eventually become fully undone at the seams.   ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Jewels of Truth Statement: "The Rule of Law Does Not Guarantee Peace"

Hello All,

Today's "Jewels of Truth" spiritual wisdom statement may appear more secular than I sought it out to be. Nonetheless its on the topic of Society in a distant future Volume 5 of the series. Numbered at #1528 and written this past late July. I'm sharing it today since it seems very apropos as a topic for any nation under the sun today on Earth.

May you reflect on the topic and consider its implications for yourselves.

As always be well in Spirit Divine.

----------------------------------

1528) All societies are a messy affair be they a democracy to a totalitarian regime in origin. A society in essence and substance is a social contract of governance. An observed act by the rule of law or the fiat commanded actions of a few in ruling power. Such a realization out of ignorance does not come easy for the citizenry of any populist nation. Albeit the powers at be may attempt to appease the masses at its own undoing if not diligent of its actions.

A society is not a panacea of well being. That depends how well its State institutions govern the masses. Lets not forget crimes against humanity can be equally committed by a democracy as can any belligerent dictatorship. The "United States of America" near genocide of its indigenous cultures in the 19th to 20th century is but one example in world history. No matter the idealism a nation or society may have as a perceived noble pursuit of freedom and self / global enrichment. It shall succumb to its own foolish aggrandizement's out of nationalism for lack of a better word in principle.

Only a near corrupt free environment by the rule of law of just and common sense fair laws. Will put any nation under the heavens on the noble trajectory of supremacy over itself and its near equals. Economic interests should not be at odds of government as a regulatory body. Lest chaos is enshrined by unregulated misdeeds by Capitalists run amok creating an Oligarchy in their own Image and Likeness.

There is but one Immaculate society ever created and that utopia is called Heaven. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Governance Concept: Separation of Corporation and State

Hello All,

Much like the "Separation of Church & State" ushered by Thomas Jefferson one of the Founding Fathers of our American Constitution. America today and tomorrow in its governing process in terms of: local, State, & Federal Government. Needs a "Separation of Corporation & State". Yes, America in the middle to late 20th century has benefited from many of the practices of corporate management & administration. Much like America has benefited from having a pluralistic religious identity.

Nonetheless corporate and other foreign national interests have trumped the ordinary U.S. citizen from the turn of the 20th century. Unabated due to greed and a continued breach of public trust our corporations shall become nearly unstoppable. If not "Above Our Laws" in regards of their collective conduct if not flagrant attempts to garner political and commercial interest support.

We shall lose our "Republic" and we shall deserve it. For being blind to the nearly endless coffers of Corporate or Multi-National Interests in our America. Can we keep our Republic as Benjamin Franklin put it so aptly? Or shall we morph into a Corporate & Industrial Complex Empire? Where our Monarchs shall be the Titans of Wall Street where ordinary citizens become indebted to them.

This entry is not meant to be a Manifesto but a suggestion to take a righteous turn for our combined betterment. Be it as how each of us see's fit in order to maintain our Peace & Prosperity as Americans.

If our Politicians fear the loss of corporate revenue into their election campaign coffers. Than lets assail those fears and release them from having to run political fund raisers until they become exhausted. By having our Federal / State Governments create a new department under the "Secretary of State" office.

Whereby all political campaign contributions will come strictly from the Federal & State Governments. No more special interest groups providing campaign contributions to our politicians. All Media Spots be it: Television, Internet, Radio, etc... shall allow political campaign advertisements. Under the guise of "Eminent Domain" of the public air waves similar in regards how an "emergency broadcast alert" is allowed.

In return politicians can not accept corporate contributions or gifts. Be they trips on corporate jets or destinations, or promises of future employment. If so they will be committing "treason" and be punishable as a criminal felon.

All face time or communication with our Elected or Appointed governmental officials, Congressman, Judicial members, or those in Diplomatic posts. Shall document all communications be it verbally by minutes or in a digital format by a media device. In regards in dealing with Lobbyists, PAC's (Political Action Committee's), Special Interest Groups, Activists, Ordinary Citizen Issues or Complaints, or Multi-National Foreign Interests. Where it will be made publicly available where applicable, be it online on the Internet, in a secure location with prior visitor screening, or sealed away due to National Security interests.

A three strike policy can be developed for failure to document all ingoing and out going communications. The first offense is admonishment, the second offense is censure, the third offense is removal from office. The punishment will not go to staffers alone the burden will be equally shared by the one they serve. Be it elected or appointed governmental officials.

In regards to the revolving door between politicians and corporate America. Especially where a blatant "Conflict of Interest" occurs to a ruling committee member within government. That is immediately hired by the Industry they were governing via committee. This will stop or it shall be considered punishable by the State as a form of Treasonous behavior.

In its place an elected of appointed governmental committee member will wait 24 months. Before accepting employment within the industry sector they were governing whilst in office. In the meanwhile the former politician can work in the non-profit private sector instead. Serving those in need to whatever capacity for the public good and common trust.

All this is a path of a more robust Democracy within the United States of America. Otherwise we forfeit our liberty and shall deserve in full measure akin to fools what we shall reap in its place.
