GOVERNMENT AND NATIONAL SECURITY
What do we mean by national security and is the subject We The People? When we consider government, does that mean of, by and for The People? Is our government in 2021 about the public?
DON’T LET THE KIDS HEAR
To begin with, a nation cognizant of education about FACTual history to our children continues to tolerate history written by the winners, rather than according to events and impact. We also continue to kowtow to “running government like a business” rather than according to principles of a democratic (small d) Constitutional republic. We also seem to prioritize a ROR in the markets over a healthy environment. The kids are becoming miffed, but cling to business as usual. Isn’t this strange?
WE MUSTN’T SAY DEMOCRACY
We often have heard hierarchical Establishment proponents warn We The People that we shouldn’t describe our system as a democracy. Perhaps those using this forbidden word do so in place of reading out the entirety of the First Amendment that seems to suggest freedom and inclusion in reference to our governance.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
