Change Doesn’t Happen at The Ballot Box: And It Hasn’t For Some Time

Does Voting Matter

In an unusually civil exchange on Twitter several days ago regarding the situation in Ottawa, a citizen in the area voiced support for Justin Trudeau’s response to the protesters. That is his invoking of the Emergencie’s Act and articulating the extraordinary power he is already using against the protesters along with all those who supported them, even tangentially.

The Canadian Tweeter made the case that these protests were not peaceful because they disrupted supply chains and brought the city to a standstill. My counterargument was that the conditions she described, while inconvenient, is a small price for a society to pay in order to send a message to their government and remind them that the citizens are in charge, and the so-called leaders are in fact servants whose only power comes from the people. Her reply was that the protests were not really concerned with freedom, and it would be more appropriate to take any grievances to the ballot box. Now, don’t get me wrong. It’s a nice thought, and the Tweeter was thoroughly civil and appropriate, which was refreshing. The proposed solution, however, is naïve.

The Electoral Reality

As an American, I am not well versed in Canadian politics. But I’m not so sure it matters. It seems clear that we’re living in a world where supranational entities govern in the background and sovereignty is ceremonial at best. In fact, these entities, such as the World Economic Forum, which is undoubtedly the most powerful, aren’t even operating in the background now that I think about it. They make no effort to hide how much power they have over supposedly sovereign nations. If people can read and take the time to visit their websites and connect the dots, it becomes clear quickly.

But put all that aside. Is Canada somehow immune to corruption? Are they not bogged down with the same nonsense and drama surrounding politics and politicians as the rest of us because they’re Canada? Where does the trust come from? Again, let’s pretend that there are no powerful non-governmental groups running the show behind the scenes and each country is truly sovereign and not subject to the United Nations or international banks and are allowed to pursue auto-determination as a sovereign State ought to. How is Canada, or any nation that has a democratic system where citizens ‘vote’ above corruption? If I combed through Canada’s leaders from the last 50 years would I find honest politicians and instances where a dishonest politician was voted out and the system worked? I doubt it.

Again, I’m not familiar with Canadian politics the way I am with American politics but the Federal Government here in the United States is defunct in every way. Congress is ceremonial. That doesn’t mean there aren’t some good members of the House and the Senate. But they have no power whatever. Legislation is almost never written by our ‘elected’ Senators and ‘Representatives’ but rather by special interest groups who, one way or another, almost always seem to trace back to the United Nations and/or the World Economic Forum. The only hope, if there is hope, is at the local level.

The truckers in Canada did what they did because they recognized, at least on some level, what I am trying to articulate here, which is that the Federal authorities are not there for the people. This past weekend in Canada Justin Trudeau unleashed jackboot-like thugs in Ottawa. Now the New York Times has reported that the freeze on bank accounts has ended, but I find that hard to believe when the Parliament voted 185-151 to extend the emergency powers (aka Martial Law) indefinitely.

The notion that we can solve this at the Federal level, or even the provincial (Canada) or State (US) level is nice to think about, especially because it’s supposed to be that way. The problem is if you have eyes to see and ears to hear you know we cannot vote our way out of this. You don’t even need to do hours of research.

Will voting and representative government ever work again?

We can have a restoration of that system but the road to the restoration of genuine rule of law is long. It entails sacrifice, pain, and it will require total commitment. We will need to disband the United Nations, the World Economic Forum, and here in America, a Constitutional Convention may need to take place, although that comes with a great deal of risk. Regardless, the entire Federal Government and all its unnecessary bureaucratic institutions need to be completely dismantled and the People need to take back OUR house. All of that is just the beginning too. It’s a tall order, without a doubt.

We cannot go around this problem, we must go through it. And that is tough for people to hear because we all just want to live our lives. I get it. I feel the same way. But as David Icke once said, to paraphrase, “the truth is still the truth regardless of how much you wish it wasn’t the truth.” Incidentally, I used to think David Icke was insane. That is until everything he said would happen did and is. From 1991 until the present day, he has been so precise it’s just plain foolish not to listen to him.

In Conclusion

In conclusion, voting is a steam valve the establishment gives us to release the pressure. The illusion of choice. It wasn’t always that way. It was never perfect, but in the early days of the United States, the system worked. I know for many leftists that statement probably made you clench from ass to elbow but it’s true. Now it’s a show. But it doesn’t have to be.

The convoy here in the United States is still set, I believe, to roll towards DC next week and our brave and accountable leaders are naturally behaving rationally. They’re embracing the opportunity to dialogue with their bosses because technically WE ARE! Obviously, I am being facetious. They’ve called in the National Guard.

Should our brethren here in the United States demonstrate the same level of courage we saw from the Canadians it will be interesting to see how our government reacts. After all, as Rand Paul made clear, we have all the same laws, and the government can even shut down the Internet if they wanted to.

Time will tell. The jury is still out how all this will shake out. But one thing is certain and it’s this: we cannot solve this at the ballot box. That’s deeply troubling, but it’s the stark reality and it’s time people accept that.
