Who Is Afraid Of Democracy?

It’s under attack from those paid to protect it

• The people are disrespected in Kuwait, Georgia, Armenia, Ukraine, Congo, Sudan

• Politicians align with military to paint the population as the enemy

• Institutions hijacked by privately owned foundations and ‘charities’

• Run by believers in the cult of the moment: Covid, climate change, Net Zero

• They adopt every cause: Ukraine, the injection, SMART cities, Woke education

• Once created, these cohorts develop their own momentum, the cause that pays

• To doubt our democracy is to paint one’s self an enemy of the people

• Yet democracy dies in darkness – the only true words in The Washington Post

• Liberty lives only by challenge, contest, interrogation and pursuit

• Institutions stultify, suffocate and stupefy – despite best intentions

• Sacrificing democracy for ‘democratic institutions’ only elevates officialdom

• Bureaucracies defend themselves at the expense of the nation

• Kuwait’s emir suspends parliament and key sections of the constitution

• Georgia’s protestors demand the right to change government without elections

• Armenia’s one-man junta gives away land over the heads of the people

Who could be against democracy? It’s like being against trees, fresh air and farmers’ markets.

Okay, there are people against those things, Bill Gates for one.

But you get the point. “Democracy is the worst form of government — except for all the others that have been tried,” as Winston Churchill quipped. It is part of the identity of Western countries, even if it doesn’t quite work.

In Copenhagen this week the Alliance of Democracies held its seventh Democracy Summit.

Novel idea

Former NATO Sec Gen Anders Fogh Rasmussen founded the Alliance Of Democracies in 2017, not realising that the author Stephen Stirling had coined the name for his militaristic sci-fi novels.

Stirling sets his epics in the country of Georgia, among other places, during a Eurasian war.

His protagonists, the Draka, are a colonialist enterprise founded in Southern Africa by British settlers in the 18th century developing a form of techno-serfdom or scientific slavery (offshoot of Rhodes and Milner?).

He calls them Serfs, who have no rights and are viewed "less as living beings and more as expendable fodder, to be used for a variety of purposes." The Draka are an enhanced race, who are shaped from birth to be the equivalent of several elite enemy soldiers, and prefer death to surrender.

Draka citizens have a degree of free speech, but criticism of the state or the slave system — ie the institutions — is forbidden.

Eventually the Draka come to dominate China and Korea, while the remaining countries of the world form the Alliance for Democracy, including the UK which is flooded with refugees from forever wars.

The Draka obliterate old institutions…. In reality, Rasmussen's AOD is concerned with controling and protecting institutions.

Enough!

I think Rasmussen, through the fogh of war, and the destruction of Libya during his NATO tenure, has read the book.

Fog machine

The point is not flippant. One of the AOD’s main concerns is narrative, or story telling.

They are building a narrative, in keeping with the World Ecoomic Forum's "The Great Narrative" conference in Dubai in 2021.

AOD’s partner is the European “what you need to know” house journal, Politico:

“Fighting the infowars in a bumper election year… With more than half the world’s population going to the polls this year, the issue of election integrity has never felt so urgent." [1]

The main speakers include some of the Covid-era leaders, who were willing to implement a uniform, undemocratic mandate.

They overlap with the globalist project, which is bureaucratic governance, with no room for the popular voice (populism). As Politico writes:

"After all, it was in the land of the free — the United States — where some refused to accept the results of a democratic election and stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021."

Democracy is under attack, but not from the direction that Rasmussen would have you believe. He is a fogh machine, with strobe lights — the dry ice show at a techno rave, FogWorx Extreme High Density Fog Juice, as one of the products on Amazon puts it.

Give up yer rights!

There is a concerted push back against the people and it is global(ist).

We saw it during the Covid response: infringements against liberty that had nothing to do with health and safety, even if a nanny overreaction was justified.

Autocrats around the world have taken the hint; they’re seizing the moment to copy each other.

The offer is always the same: give up your rights, and the leader, with his technocrats, will offer you safety and modernisation.

As the AOD launched its conference, the emir of the only democracy in the Persian Gulf decided he’d had enough of the people.
