Parasitic rule, known as ‘Democracy,’ has been preached and pervaded our lives for centuries. How we must uphold and defend it, and spread it far and wide. But, like consciousness, no one explains what democracy is or justifies why mob rule should be spread or defended. Why should anyone defend senseless lust and greed for increased authoritarian rule? The more people want democracy, the more people express their desire for authoritarian rule.

History repeatedly shows the foolish irrationality of majorities loudly proclaiming that democracy, guarantees liberty. Leave government aside, and Corporate political power is nothing but a state-run monopoly, enforcing its perpetuity at the expense of the people enslaved to uphold it. Any notion that authority is a benefactor and protector is a monstrous lie – impossible! No truly moral, honest individual man or woman can participate in or endorse the (initiated) coercing of others for any reason. No one can change such a society to serve living beings. Man is not his brother’s keeper. We are indeed keepers in that we are not to commit acts of violence against one another. We are not keepers in that some must command others, even for their supposed benefit. Authority, backed by force, is an act of violence antithetical to all benefits it purportedly upholds.

In seeking a remedy to parasitic rule, the Australian people and those in many countries instinctively turn their attention to what they believed worked for their comforts and security in the past; ‘common law’ and ‘democracy’ are at the forefront of their minds. The problem is, had either of those political factions succeeded, Australians would not suffer from today’s tyrannical predicament.

America’s founders of 1776 did not let the parasitic rule stand in their way. They declared independence of America from Great Britain by declaring their rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Given that achievement, what prevents the Australian people from declaring their independence as individuals from prescriptive, authoritarian states? Nothing at all, save learning what our American brothers and sisters are now realising. When a body of people prescribes how others must act and behave, the recipients get the harm they approve of, while profits go to those who wrote the prescriptions. That has been Australia’s predicament for decades past.

It’s so simple. When people concede their right to life be granted/enacted/legislated/ruled by the government, it legislates your life for its protection, not yours! Your freedom vanishes, and its unchecked liberty magnifies. Such subordination of your life is its path to communistic tyranny.

Whatsoever society robs an individual of the product of his effort, enslaves him, or indeed attempts to limit the freedom of his mind is not, strictly speaking, a society. It is instead a mob who, by wielding institutionalised gang rule, destroys all the values of human coexistence, thus threatening their very survival.

That which violates your free will denies your life. Conversely, free choice upholds your life. To forbid it amounts to criminal action, aside from arrogantly disrespecting our Creator.

If you sense a remedy, forget it. Today’s (modern) states are democratic, in which people believe they have a say in the running of the state, e.g., government ‘of the people, by the people, and for the people.’ Yes, voters determine who will represent them at the governmental level, but our states long ago adopted a pluralist attitude towards politics. Rather than being an instrument in the hands of an elite, states shifted to become a neutral public arena where interest groups came together to argue and discuss policies — primarily economic.

Democracy, in short, is a parasitic form of rule, a form of collectivism that denies individual rights. It is a totalitarian manifestation, not a form of freedom. Democratic governments are all-powerful.

Who is the majority? If indeed all other men and women are potential members of a majority that may overrule our goals and destroy us at any moment, then we must fear and suspect all. If we must rob and murder before we are robbed or murdered, then mob rule and gang warfare are inevitable. In our cries for deliverance, likely we will become more willing to accept, comply, and conform, even demanding more restrictive policies that work to our disadvantage. What future does that project for our children?

For evidence, look at the power-grabbing script now holding to ransom the bastions of independence and freedom in Australia, Austria, New Zealand, Canada, Germany, the US, the UK, and many others.

The reason for collectivism’s failure is apparent. When people overlook, abandon, or repress individuality, each individual is demeaned and swallowed by the supposed power of collective groups. Their creative talents are compromised or captured to fit within collective social orders.

“Democratic” in its original meaning [refers to] unlimited majority rule. a social system in which one’s work, one’s property, one’s mind, and one’s life are at the mercy of any gang that may muster the vote of a majority at any moment for any purpose. — Ayn Rand

Democracy is perhaps best known in countries with weak and unstable institutions and populations, wherein governments take power by brute force. Elsewhere, power-grabbing schemes use a more sophisticated script to gain moral acceptance reputably. Used successfully throughout history by authorities looking to increase their power, ‘rights’ are taken by sleight of hand, bit by bit, through Machiavellian manipulations that successfully divide the population while claiming to have enrolled its full support. The method is simple — problem — reaction — solution.

  • Create a problem and stoke fear among the population.
  • Measure the reaction and throw in measures to test the waters.
  • Politicise issues to promote divisiveness.
  • Offer a previously crafted solution to solidify people’s polarisation, thereby obtaining civil approval for the authoritarian initiatives politically desired from the beginning.

Crises are ‘gold’ for authoritarians who deceptively conceal freedom-killing plots and initiatives as necessary for resolving the manufactured crisis. A pandemic will create turmoil and concern, of course, whereby disproportionate responses appear inevitable and, therefore, acceptable. Using the same strategy on such things as climate change, gender equality, crime and justice systems, education, the Critical Race Theory, and a complete fragmentation of society is inevitable. It’s already happening.

We, the people, will vote, fully believing that we’re expressing our will and deciding our future ‘democratically,’ when our flawed belief in the morality of ‘democracy’ is used to manipulate our minds and surrender our ‘rights’ to ‘permissions.’ We vote for parasitic rulers, who cling to our abilities so they can profit at our expense. 

Sadly, most people believe that a breakthrough is nigh, yet none have grasped that there is no ‘we’ to make the breakthrough. The coming new ‘age of independence’ will not result from some energy’ or thrust from an external force but from your desire to live in a creative, accessible environment, resulting from insights into the laws governing your nature. A Protective agency is the only solution, one that protects your rights and freedoms.

Democratic corruption amounts to the use of public resources for private ends. Previously, dating from the eighteenth century, the term’ public use’ referred to the needs of the military, courts of justice, and civil projects such as roads and waterways, regarded as public goods. Today, however, under collectivist influence, the public interest consists of anything the public wants the government to do. By these means, courts now uphold that property can be taken for ‘public’ use, including roads or court buildings, parks, golf courses, municipal swimming pools, and corporate factories.

When individuals en-mass prefer throwing our ‘persons’ and our ‘powers,’ our talents, abilities, careers, health, wealth, and even our children into a melting pot of parasitic rule for any authoritarian power to disseminate in favour of its wellbeing, the result is not a beneficial democratic government. It is instead the rape and torture of freedom, the cancellation of your ‘right to life,’ and all others.
