Governments
and Monopolistic Control
Governments are usually formed to coordinate and control people. There are two primary forms of government Socialist or Capitalist
while Governance is deployed in three primary fashions (and combinations of
all):
-
Dictatorships.
The people have no say in governance.
-
Democracies.
The people have complete say in governance.
-
Republics.
The people elect representatives for governance.

"It is not necessary monopolies that are the
problem, but corrupt monopolies that are the problem.
SOC
The larger an enterprise, the greater the chance of
corruption within that enterprise. SOC |
Governments form basically to defend against or
create monopolies that control the distribution of wealth and freedoms.
Corrupt monopolies form the underlying basis for almost
every revolution. Revolutions from the French Aristocracy; the British Crown, the Russian
Tsar and the Chinese Boxer & Cultural
Revolution all fought the monopolistic control of a detached government.
Communists, like the Republican Americans and the Socialist
French all sought to replace corrupt monopolistic governments. Unfortunately,
history tends to show that one corrupt monopoly is often traded out for another.
Jefferson, one of the U.S. founding fathers, went as far as to suggested that a
revolution every 20 years was necessary to prevent the government from getting
out of control.
In the United States, the Founding Fathers recognized many
of the critical issues that caused corruption of government. The U.S.
Constitution attempted to eliminate or reduce the tendency of a government to
become corrupt. Some of the key tenants to the U.S. Constitution are:
-
"We The People": Government by the people for
the people.
-
Minimalist federated government.
-
No taxation without representation.
-
No direct tax and no inter state tax.
-
A dual path judicial system, one based on
elected judges the other on a jury: A judicial system depending on
a randomly selected jury of peers selected from the middle part of
society that judged both the law and the facts (The concept of
judges judging the admissibility of evidence in the U.S. Courts is
utterly foreign to the construct of Trial By Jury under the
Constitution.)
-
Locally Elected and controlled police (Sheriff)
- we the people are the police, not they the government.
-
Locally Elected and controlled Prosecutor
(District Attorney)
-
Locally Elected and controlled Judges
-
English Common Law.
- A Codeless legal system where the laws are written on the hearts
of the people founded on Biblical Law.
-
A well armed people's militia and the right to
bear arms. And a government controlled army only in times of war
and never to be formed for more than two years.
- The construct for military was not based on a professional army,
but rather a well armed public. California's constitution even
abolishes any standing army in the state in times of peace: ARTICLE
I. Declaration of Rights Sec. 12: "The military shall be subordinate
to the civil power. No standing army shall be kept up by this State
in time of peace; and in time of war no appropriation for a standing
army shall be for a longer time than two years."
- The 2nd Amendment grants "we the people" the right to
bear arms.
This implies that if the government has atomic weapons, then we the
people also are entitled to atomic weapons. Consider how quickly our
government would abolish atomic weapons under such a construct. The
purpose of 2nd Amendment is to ensure that the government is never
more powerful than "we the people".
