Republic of Western Canada

From An overview of our World (John McManus, JBS)

Canadians are demoralized. Apathy is a disease in Canada spawned by the deep realization by the People that it is impossible to make a difference. The dictatorship which exists in Ottawa is the cause of this. Even though our MP's are elected by their constituents, they become mere pawns before the PM when they get to Ottawa. The parliamentary structure which we inherited from Britain is called a "Democracy".

It means rule of the majority or "mob rule". It means that if more than 50% of the group want something, they can have it but at the same time, the minority lose all their rights. Some call it "mobocracy" or “tyranny of the majority”.

History has shown that democracies are fatally flawed and have consistently ended up as oligarchies. Therefore a Democratic system of government is only temporary. It is in a transitional state which always ends in tyranny. Therefore a Democracy is not a viable political system.

For the purposes of this discussion, I think it will help if I explain how I see the different forms of governments in the world today.

The are different styles of Government, which are beautifully defined by the John Birch Society. However, there are really only two stable political systems – Oligarchy and Republic, as illustrated in this diagram. The others are merely transitional states of governing.

POLITICAL SYSTEMS
Monarchy Rule by One	Oligarchy Rule by Elite	Democracy Rule by Majority	Republic Rule by Law	Anarchy Rule by None

Monarchy – Rule by One…but it does not appear as "Rule by One". Canada is a perfect example! In a convoluted way, in Canada the Monarchy controls at arms length through its representatives, the Governor General and the Prime Minister who swear their allegiances to the Crown but not to the flag, the people nor the nation that it stands for. The Prime Minister derives his power to overrule the MPs in Parliament from the Monarchy. The Prime Minister is never elected by the People. The reality is that it is "Rule by an elite group" with one up front. (Kings, potentates, Emperors, etc.). This is why the elite cling to the Monarchy, even Trudeau and his cohorts, who despised the Crown, derived their power from the Monarchy.

Democracy - As soon as more people want something than don't, a tyranny of a democracy occurs (mobocracy). History has shown that all Democracies deteriorate into tyranny. Therefore, a Democracy is not a stable form of government but only a transitional state toward an Oligarchy, then revoltion into anarchy and the cycle continues to repeat itself.

In 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor a The University of Edinborough, had this to say about "The Fall of Athenia” some 2,000 years prior.

"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority (mobocracy) always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a dictatorship."

Republic - Rule by Law. The word Republic (res publica), which literally translated means law for the people (rule of objective law). The founding Fathers of America wanted a limited negative government power which leaves the people alone but protects them from physical force from others including government. The word "republic" is used erroneously by many governments of the world. It's a communist lie. For example, The Republic of China, or The Union of Soviet Socialist Republic. These governments do not have a true Republic, they are Oligarchies or Dictatorships. The real definition of a Republic is that which was written by the founding Fathers of the United States who desired minimal government with a negative not a positive force. The slogan of the JBS is …"We are a Republic, not a democracy, and lets keep it that way".

Anarchy - The truth is that most crimes in history have been performed by Government, therefore occasionally people conclude that they want no government at all so they destroy the existing government with an uprising or a coup. This results in chaos, looting, burning, killing. This is not a true form of government as it is merely a transition where the people eventually ask for someone to come in and restore order and quite often it is the oligarchy which was overthrown in the first place, hence a return to an Oligarchy form of government. This happened in Russia in 1917, in Nicaraugua in 1979 and in Iran in 1979. It has happened throughout history with great frequency.

The Purpose of Law - An Overview of our World by John McManus - John Birch Society

How does man govern himself? America has a unique political system because it established a body of law to govern the government. In America government is clearly meant to be the servant, not the master.

On the other hand, the UN establishes a rule of law based on the assumption that government exists to control people. The world body holds that rights do not transcend the power of government, but exist at government's pleasure. This is a blueprint for total government.

UN authority G. Edward Griffin has observed that "law is force, legalized," and explained that any law without force to back it up is no real law at all. Who in America, Griffin asked, would send hard-earned money to the IRS if force did not compel the paying of an income tax? Law is nothing if it isn't enforced.

Those who claim that the world must have international law instead of relying on force to settle disputes are not posing alternatives; they are offering the same alternative twice. International law, like any law, is merely a collection of words without force to back it up. Those who champion international law under the UN are calling for UN might to back up the UN's law.

For international law to prevail, the UN's muscle would have to be more powerful than any other force on earth. Once created and functioning, however, who would be able to control it? Are we to believe that those who possess unchallengeable military power would not use it to tyrannize mankind? Such a hope is foolish indeed. The dangers to personal liberty and national independence from UN-created international law ought to be obvious to all. Were the UN to become all-powerful, its power would be used not to control government on behalf of the individual, but to control the individual on behalf of the government.

The U.S. Constitution offers history's finest alternative to government force. Instead of throwing away our marvelous heritage and submitting to global government, we ought to recognize that we are indeed "the heirs of all the ages," and that we have a responsibility to compel our leaders to adhere to the Constitution's limitations on their power. We must continue to stand as a beacon of hope in a world of strife and tyranny, for if we allow our leaders to cede our sovereignty to the UN, we will have committed national suicide.
