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.
You are exactly right on the constitution. It was a counter-revolutionary document drawn up by the elites of that time and rammed through in order to replace the Articles of Confederation. A thorough reading of the history of that period is very interesting. The Bill of Rights was grudgingly allowed to be added in order to obtain ratification. The elites didn't like the Articles of Confederation because they didn't allow a centralized government with the power to control and tax the populace.
"The Bill of Rights was grudgingly allowed to be added in order to obtain ratification."
The Bill of Rights came after ratification of the Constitution as amendments, once the new government had been established and operational. Was there some pact or threat that held these new officeholders to fulfill a promise?
Sorry to be late to the party. I am a fan of Richard Feynman and he certainly would have agreed with this:
"Firstly, the notion of consensus being a virtue is a fallacy. It's a dangerous myth that strangles the vibrant process of inquiry and debate which defines true scientific endeavor. Science thrives on skepticism and the relentless questioning of accepted norms. Imposing a consensus is tantamount to decreeing dogma, forsaking the very essence of the scientific method."
Well said Lily and you have encapsulated the spirit of freedom ignited in a growing number of people globally because of the arrogant misuse of power with the scamdemic. Critical to our evolution into a new age of increasing people power is our ability to communicate with each other. The internet was a project initiated by the military and got totally out of hand as it has united people in a manner never before in our history and not something that figured in their original plans. People have tasted the freedom and it will not now be possible to put that genie back in the bottle IMHO. It is the stalwart work of good people like you that are helping this new freedom to evolve. Thank you again lady.
The pharmaceutical industry has been successfully deploying similar pandemic scares and vaccine scams without widespread recognition of it for decades.
The lockdown called enormous attention to this operation by interfering in people's everyday life to the point that they couldn't look away. While also giving them a lot more free time to do online research.
And taking children out of school breaks routine and weakens indoctrination.
They also didn't need to try and vaccinate all adults who can actually report problems unlike young children and elderly people who are often helpless silent victims.
And the product they deployed was far more toxic than the average. They could have used placebos and that would have increased trust in medicine greatly, since most people will believe it helped without evidence as we've seen.
So I can only see a handful of reasons why things would be done this way:
Everyone is hilariously incompetent and actually think vaccines work.
They are sadists who just want to inflict pain and test the limits of their power by inducing people to poison their children.
Pharmaceutical companies got too greedy inspired by bill gates insatiable appetite for market expansion.
The goal is to selectively breed hypoallergenic humans that can tolerate foreign material better in preparation for transhumanism.
But they were overzealous.
Some group actively sabotaged their agenda by exaggerating the flawed parts of it and supported the most zealous and insane candidates to bring everything down in flames. And the goal is to selectively breed humans who are resistant to state coercion and propaganda.
Perhaps groups with each of these conflicting interests tried to add their own goals into one big pot and there were too many chefs in the kitchen.
The final group saw this mess and realised it was the perfect opportunity to fuck everything up.
If I was trying to destroy the credibility of all major media and medical institutions, I can't think of a better way than to convince them to tell everyone a drug is safe, deploy it everywhere, and then reveal that it's poisonous and they were all disastrously wrong.
The ultimate problem with globalists is that they suffer from the Dunning-Kruger Effect while the rest of us suffer from the opposite. The definition of The Dunning–Kruger effect is that it is a cognitive bias in which people with limited competence in a particular domain overestimate their abilities.
The rest of us are intelligent enough to know that we do not know all that can be known therefore we suffer from such a sense of incompetence that we do not push-back against incompetence when they transgresse our right to free speech or our property rights. Too many of the smartest people are in a perpetual state of self-critical examination when attacked without basis by those self-elevated elites. We stumble about mostly in the dark trying to figure out if we are wrong and should apologize. This I believe is because basic rights are not taught properly in elementary schools on up. It should be taught by parents and some do, but most do not have the time to truly understand the basics and how to articulate them clearly so that their children understand.
I believe that they are suffering from the Dunning-Kruger effect. However, the power elite are also carefully schooled and indoctrinated that they are entitled to be the leaders due to their position in life. It is almost a psychopathic egoism justifying behavior and acts against mankind. It's no different than the elitism of Alexander Hamilton and James Madison. Hamilton said, "the masses are asses." They felt they were the only ones entitled to all the money because they were the best equipped to manage it and multiply it. That's really how they feel now as well. They are special. We are sheep. We shouldn't have first amendment rights. We should be ruled through a manufactured consensus.
Strongly disagree. The global systems they are, and have successfully been, moving in their direction for decades are of epic size and complexity. A handful of Western right-wing elections in recent years are little match; they'll adapt.
Here in the US, in the two-plus decades since 9/11, they've won nearly every challenge overturning our rights and our preferences, while we've been caught like deer in the headlights with no effective responses. The only significant exception being the election of blunt-instrument, Hail-Mary pass Trump in 2016 when they got lazy for a bit. (I don't even count 2024's election, as Trump's return was far too eerily smooth; I'm nervous what surprises lie waiting.)
We are congratulating our discourse, but without any good idea what theirs is behind closed doors. I'd say they've got a damn impressive record of implemented change -- although sure, with a need (as with COVID) to take steps back here and there. But we have nothing but a few elections with weak governance results. We have got to up our game -- and badly.
I sense a large chunk of the population is waking up and claiming their sovereignty. The egregious lies delivered nonstop for years from the expert class and their media minions has destroyed their credibility to many. That was a necessary first step. Rejecting the experts. Now what? The next step is gaining confidence in having your own answers, and trusting your intuition is key. Something rarely cultivated in our society. Information is not intelligence as the elite would have us believe, as they push AI onto the scene. Situations like western NC are forging a crucible out of which our ingenuity and creativity emerges leaving the expert class behind. Small steps at first, then quantum steps later.
Just today I encountered BS from AI. I posed the question “What percentage of people that are diagnosed with delusional parasitosis actually have parasites? I received a response that people with delusional parasitosis don’t actually have parasites.
Agreed! AI is another wild misperception that computers cannot lie. Computers have no ability to separate truth from falsity. Only those unable to understand human nuances believe computers are more truthful than those who program them. Garbage in, garbage out is a truism. Only humans lie and only other humans are able to tell the difference. You are correct. We need to not only trust our intuition, we need to hone it to identify the liars on their first lie and stop them cold.
"The ultimate problem with globalists is that they suffer from the Dunning-Kruger Effect ... / ... The rest of us are intelligent enough to know that we do not know all"
It certainly looks to me more like coordinated psychopathy/sociopathy than some kind of arrogance-stupidity bubble. I've found it easy to assume among those at the driving core that there's plenty of sufficient intelligence to pull off the con eventually, many behind the scenes. Certainly intelligence beyond mine; our just talking here can be considered stupid; we don't know who actually runs any blog; etc.
I get that impression in part from the sophistication of the propaganda and other intelligence activities, for example apparent double-agents, limited hangouts, honeypots and other entrapments, fake conspiracy-theory movements (e.g. flat earth w/incongruously sophisticated explanations), etc.
I'm not in any way believing these people are on the run. No, the "fun" is just beginning.
Two types of intelligence. One is limited to “book-smart’ without understanding or unable to connect to human nuances. It is if the decoder for understanding basic human values/caring for others never turned on. These are sociopaths. They can still fake human intelligence but never develop trust.
The second may or may not have read the books, but certainly is smart about judging character with enough experience. Most people fit the latter.
"One [type of intelligence] is limited to 'book-smart' without understanding or unable to connect to human nuances. It is [as] if the decoder for understanding basic human values/caring for others never turned on. These are sociopaths. They can still fake human intelligence but never develop trust."
No. Psychopathy and sociopathy are not the equivalent of (for lack of a better single word) autism. Caring about others on the one hand, and being able to communicate it with others successfully on the other, are two entirely different and independent things.
-- An intelligent psychopath or sociopath often successfully manipulates people to gain power and get what he/she wants because he/she understands people, but does not care about them. That is how he/she climbs societal and organizational ladders to control corporations and rule countries, often charming and cool as a cucumber while entirely ruthless against people's interests. To get what they want, their heads rarely stay stuck in books. But if they are simultaneously autistic, they will unlikely be very successful unless they are (useful) geniuses, and they won't be allowed to order people around.
-- An intelligent autistic ('book-smart') person can easily care about people without understanding how to be successful at communicating it and co-operating with them, especially failing through body language, including that surrounding face-to-face speaking, in "real-time". These communication difficulties have led autistics to be badly misunderstood throughout history, resulting in great pain to them and, as a result and on occasion, their unfortunately angry backlashing. Science is slowly emerging from this misunderstanding.
-- Trust is very largely dependent on environment, and so lack of it is not necessarily an indicator of pathology. The dominant US culture(s) in particular have decidedly moved from high-trust society to a low-trust ones since mid-twentieth century, though are still not nearly as low-trust as in many countries.
Please get back to your reading about these things, from both establishment and (multiple) alternative sources. Whoever continues to teach the falsehoods you identified needs to be called out, wherever found.
You said "book smart", which has often been used an indicator of high-functioning autism. Even by sticking to your words, though, if you assume someone who is 'book-smart' necessarily does not care about other people, you're incorrect. They are certainly not necessarily psychopaths/sociopaths.
Thanks…so grateful for voices like yours and Frank Wright here on substack…and writers of the caliber of Annie Dillard (just found “For The Time Being” c.1999 random house.). She calls it a nonfiction first-person narrative on page one. I am tempted to call it a 204 page prayer.
These globalists appear lazy. In Canada the PM is paying $250 to every citizen who makes under $150K / yr. Similar to the Covid relief that softened up those that stood in line for the BIOWEAPON. Something is being concocted as we speak.

Good comments but I did not say anything about Autism. It is very different, agreed.
You said "book smart", which has often been used an indicator of high-functioning autism. Even by sticking to your words, though, if you assume someone who is 'book-smart' necessarily does not care about other people, you're incorrect. They are certainly not necessarily psychopaths/sociopaths.
Please do not impune meaning from assigning a different interpretation to words than commonly used. That is what woke people do to disparage.
Kerry should work at McDonald's. I think that would be the perfect job for him. Maybe it would teach him some humility, lol.
