The wicked only survive by eating the trusting. When everyone mistrusts, then what kind of society do you have? The wicked we'll always have. What went missing along the way was the disappearance of those who saw yet did nothing or joined the wicked.

Cicero’s message, for us in Canada, so clearly describes J.T., Freeland, Butts, Algebra, et al.

Reminds me of that Turkish proverb.

> The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood he was one of them.

We all know of the very obvious traitors among the people, politicians, bureaucrats, sycophant academics, the treachery of the judiciary, all MSM perfidious product and employers - employees, big tech and their social media platforms/search engine obfuscation or outright censorship and the fully compliant, completely programmed neighbor. The less obvious are those in the alt media that will not call a spade a spade but will shovel out the same information over and over again or those of the more obvious stripe that will barely touch on the more concerning subject matter. The alt media sites that seem authentic but take backdoor workaround funding from dedicated globalists. Those that beat the same old drum of acting in a manner that simply eats energy and leaves the participant disillusioned. The blind alley specialists or those that throw out complete distractions like 'disclosure' as important. They are all, wittingly or not, serving the pyramid cap. My guess is about 90% of the alt media on the opinion/news channels are spinning our wheels for us. IMHO it is long past the time of the accomplishing nothing rallies and protests with the time of civil disobedience already late to arrive. Time already past for boycotting the globalists. The MSM physical presence in our communities might be a great first target along the lines of Dutch Resistance. These types of actions will get the fence sitters off their perch one way or the other, Which way doesn't really matter as long as they get to feel that non committal is not an option. This not even touching on the spook agencies efforts with human and bot opinion and attacks. Just sayin'.

I also get comfort from the translations of the writings of Marcus Aurelius - proving at least to me that, apart from technology, the ancients saw every facet of the human experience, good bad and very indifferent. What have we learned from them - very little imho.

It's as if Marcus Tullius Cicero had just met Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell.

«I trust only those who fight in the same trench as mine facing the same ennemy and danger at the same time.»

Definition of a political party: an “organization one of whose fundamental purposes is to participate in public affairs by endorsing one or more of its members as candidates and supporting their election”

source: https://www.ourcommons.ca/procedure/procedure-and-practice-3/ch_01_2-e.html

Ask yourself: « Given that cattles are branded with hot iron to tell who the owner is, what about Representatives being rubber stamped by a Party to indicate who they serve first ? ».

As long as there will be political parties, there will be Politic as we know it for too long. For, Political parties do not represent the needs and hopes of the constituents to the POWER THAT BE but, in fact, they represent the intents and will of their party to their constituents without really listening to them once elected.

This is nothing else nor more than disguised tyranny and dictatorship.

If You ever want to live in a real and effective democracy, first; terminate all parties and the intrinsic idea of political party.

Second, when You will want or be in need to elect a Representative, make absolutely sure that person totally and clearly understand that she will have the only following duty : To represent, with all the required might, only the clearly expressed will of the constituents and always seek advice and clearly expressed the constituents' opinion as soon as there could be any doubt about this will and / or opinionand, and never vote about anything without having done so.

Never forget that the only reason why Political parties exist, is that the people's majority refuse to Recognize ; Accept ; and Take their personal and social responsibilities.

It is not anarchy I am writing about but, in fact, it is « Res Publica » in its very true sense and the duties implied by it.
