A former medical colleague was urging me recently to lobby my MP to vote against the Assisted Dying Bill. I’ve done my share of ethical lobbying in the past, even on the same subject, contributing to a series of parliamentary consultations as well as twisting the arm of my representative in the Commons. But I think my friend, like so many well-meaning people, has insufficiently realised how Parliament has, especially since the Blair government, changed from being the place where the common people’s views are represented, to the place where they are kept under control by the illusion of representation.
So even in a free vote like the Euthanasia Bill, MPs must needs have their eye on how the party whips want them to vote, if they are to further or even maintain their careers. Many of us saw how barely a single MP was willing to risk rocking the political boat by attending any of Andrew Bridgen’s debates on vaccine safety, though there was no official whip in place for any of the parties. All of them saw what happened to Bridgen himself for making a stand – removal of the whip, bankruptcy, divorce, and a possibly questionable local election process that ousted him from Parliament altogether this year. Your MP therefore knows the cost of supporting an ethical position that goes against the establishment flow, but your e-mail carries no such weight.
Those of us who lobbied our MPs during COVID will also remember how they either trotted out the official line however scientifically we wrote, or simply diverted our e-mails to the Cabinet Office to be answered, equally dismissively, by a civil servant. They acquiesced in being kept out of the chamber for months to allow government by incompetent presidential-style technocratic diktat to ruin the country. And the system has only become more controlled by the new administration.
A recent lecture at Exeter University by David Starkey admirably explains what the real situation is, and how it came to be over many years. The bottom line is that “certain forces” after World War 2 determined that democracy, that is, rule by representatives of the majority of the people, had been shown by the rise of Hitler and other fascist dictators to be too dangerous. In its place was erected a system also called democracy (because obfuscation was always at the heart of the project), but which is about rule by and for minorities, in despite of the interests of a majority of the people.
Hence, to return to my original example, the spectre of euthanasia comes back to parliamentary life every few years, however often it has been voted down. The reason is that the minority wishing to be helped to die, or the minority willing to kill such people, is a minority, and therefore ideologically must be given its wishes, “for democracy.”
Now, at this point we must remember that in order to impose the rule of minorities upon the majority, a powerful and ideologically-driven minority must not only enforce their will ruthlessly, but deceive the majority into believing that they themselves have democratic control. This is a tall order, as it requires intrigue and secrecy, bribes and threats, at an international scale. But it is the reason behind the gradual erosion of parliamentary government, through building up the bureaucracy whilst constraining the freedom and power of MPs. Up until 2020, it seemed to be working.
Since then, the murmurs of discontent have begun to be audible everywhere across not only Britain, but the world. That is why (as David Starkey points out) it has been necessary to invent a new pejorative, “populism,” usually linked in the media to buzz-words like “fascist,” “far-right,” and so on. The propaganda context is intended to hide that “populism” is nothing more or less than a direct Latin translation of the Greek “democracy.”
That is why Donald Trump’s victory in the election in the US, where the same kind of anti-democratic process has been going on in spades, is so crucially significant. As most readers here will know, the battle has not been between Republican right and Democrat left, but between a deeply entrenched technocratic elite and the one outsider who has had the force of personality to get voted on to the ship and try to recapture it for the genuinely democratic (or more correctly representative republican) principles of the founders’ Constitution. It is, of course, his second attempt to take over the pirate ship, but this time he has a better boarding party and, most importantly a huge popular fleet at his back.
But as an interview on Timcast with General Flynn (Trump’s previous national security advisor, who was framed and persecuted by the deep state just 22 days into his role) reminds us, the pacific expressions of concession by the outgoing administration should be taken not only with a pinch of salt, but with a pinch of salt thrown over the shoulder, where the devil is lurking.
Trump’s landslide strikes not only at an opposing political team, or even at a corrupt opposing political team, or even at a vindictive, corrupt, opposing political team. Rather, it threatens a global project that has been gathering power at least since it murdered President Kennedy and other opponents, and probably much longer and at a deeper level, at least as far as the Rockefellers and Rothschilds, and no longer implausibly to powerful bloodlines pursuing a similar ideology for centuries (after all, Satan has not changed).
It is not just that the mysterious and quite probably multipolar “they” have already organised two assassination attempts on Trump (the first in particular wonderfully defeated by divine providence), but that the same entities have been willing to stage-manage wars that have cost, and are costing, millions of lives, to mismanage and possibly generate pandemics for financial and political gain, to plot the collapse of entire civilisations through mass people-trafficking and, in short, to despoil the entire world for their demonic perversion of “democracy.” Seldom has it been so true that they will “stop at nothing.”
Flynn is not alone in saying that such a malevolent hydra will not sit quietly by as it is dismembered by President Trump or by anyone else. Flynn describes the election result as the first day after D-Day. There is a lot of bloody fighting ahead before the world can be returned to the people and, one hopes, to such values of decency and freedom as are possible before Christ returns.
Therefore, pray for America, pray for Trump, pray for the world that America can influence, and be prepared for tough spiritual warfare in the struggle to come.
