Another excellent article! Nice job! Unfortunately, the idea that a republic serves the people is an illusion we've been intentionally indoctrinated with since the Constitution was created. From the beginning, the Constitution was created to serve the elite and has done so. It was only after the fact that personal rights were added to appease the people over the objections of Hamilton and Madison. In a new look at the founding of America, Eric Nelson writes that the Constitution did not create a radical new form of democracy. Instead, it created a "very traditional mixed monarchy." Yoni Appelbaum described the "mixed monarchy" like this.

"At its head stood a king—an uncrowned one called a president—with sweeping powers, whose steadying hand would hopefully check the factionalism of the Congress. The two chambers of the legislature…would make laws, but the president—whom the Founders regarded as a third branch of the legislature—could veto them. He could also appoint his own Cabinet, command the Army, and make treaties." The president was given more power than the king of England had at the time. And since, executive orders have given the president the right to make law.

But a year after the first presidential election, Alexander Hamilton, Madison, and their banking cohorts created the first political party. It effectively controlled government for many years and the two parties have controlled the government since then.

It's the political parties that have caused the political divide in their effort to create a unique brand and vilify the other party. They compete for who gets the money for serving their elite puppetmasters. But behind both political parties is the same power elite group. It is all political theater after which giant omnibus bills give all the special interests of the elite what they want. It's really all about the money. And if you have totalitarian control, you get control over all the money.

In a republic like the United States, the government doesn't serve the people any more than communist governments serve the people because the people are supposed to own everything through the state. Obviously the people own nothing and the state and Communist party serve their elite. We think we're different but we're not. It's just a different illusion. But I realize that without reading books outside of those written by establishment professors and the textbooks written to indoctrinate all of us as children, few people understand what's really going on. I like the articles Lily writes about the global elite because they expose their objectives and their machinations. The tragedy is that people really don't want to understand. Their anger is directed at other citizens thanks to the political parties instead of at the elite and their political parties where it should be. They are victims of the elites' game and the indoctrinated illusion. Please keep exposing them.
