Constitutional Convention more DeMockery than Democracy

Constitutional Convention = Constitutional Con

Constitutional Convention – Largesse From The Feudal Lords



During the Irish general election 2011 the Irish political parties promised political reform, along with all the other usual lies, deceit and trickery which are spewed out at election time, and now taoiseach (Prime Minister) Enda Kenny and the government have come up with the smoke and mirrors solution – the Constitutional Convention, to hopefully, as far as they are concerned, fool the citizens into believing in something which the politicians know will never happen – real political reform – because they intend that it will never happen.

Update: Some of the following remarks regarding the intelligence of the Irish citizens may seem very insulting and for that I do apologise. I do not really intend to insult but it is my anger with the subservient and passive Irish citizen. I was tempted to remove some of the remarks but decided to leave them here but please make allowances for my ‘undiplomatic phrasing’ – I tend to prefer to speak plainly. 8=)

Ireland is not a democracy, the politicians know that, and these political parties OWN and CONTROL the political system, as in all so-called democracies. They control, and limit the powers of, the citizens. They are the feudal lords and they rein supreme. The citizens do not control the politicians and must remain passive, and the politicians definitely plan to keep it that way.

The proof of lack of democracy is the fact that only the politicians can hold out the carrot – the promise of political reform (though a false promise, at that), whereas the citizens have no power to instigate any reforms whatsoever – they are prisoners of this democracy. We are a captive citizenry, a powerless citizenry, a subservient citizenry, in this Irish feudal political system.

Who in their right mind would even hold the smallest of hopes that the political parties in this so-called democracy would willingly hand THEIR power to the citizens. Did Mubarak willingly hand over power to the citizens of Egypt? Did Gaddafi willingly hand over his power to the people of Libya? Would Assad willingly hand over his power to the people of Syria? Would Barack Obama and the US government willingly hand over their power to the people of the United States? Would the ‘beloved leader’ Kim Jong-Un willingly hand his power to the citizens of North Korea? Neither will Enda Kenny.

We all know the answer to these questions – NO, plain and simple. Not ever.

Dictators, autocratic leaders, and the feudal lords of democratic nations, do NOT hand power to their underlings, the peasants, the serfs – the citizens at the bottom. And I can definitely state this without fear of ever being proven wrong – the Irish political parties will NEVER willingly hand over power to the citizens of Ireland. IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. To swallow the lie that the ‘Constitutional Convention will bring change’ is to believe in the impossible.

The citizens of Ireland have shown themselves to be idiots of the highest order and many may actully believe that the politicians will meekly hand back the political power to them, but I can assure you this – the politicians are not idiots. They have no intention of allowing the citizens of Ireland to have any say whatsoever in how power is distributed in this Nation.

But these politicians know that the Irish citizens eagerly seek change and so they offer titbits of hope in the form of political reform via the Constitutional Convention knowing that the Irish citizens are easily fooled with shallow empty promises. This has been proven in general election after general election; lies after lies; broken promises after broken promises.

How slow and stupid can a people be to believe in the lies of politicians? The politicians have lied to the people of Ireland since Independence in 1923. Time after time, after time, after time, after time. Why should the politicians bother to do otherwise? Telling lies to the citizens pays off. It WORKS!

The citizens of Ireland won’t stand up and demand change. They are a subservient race and passively sit and wait for the politicians to instigate change – change, which if it happened, would destroy the true powerholders in this pathetic political system – the feudal political lords themselves.

Who is stupid enough to think that the politicians would hand power to those who would punish them for their behaviour over the decades? It’s as stupid as thinking the mafia would just turn themselves into the police and throw all their power and influence away.

The politicians want to deflect the anger and frustration of the citizens who have been lied to, robbed, swindled, subjugated, enslaved, and made bankrupt and what better way than a promise that the citizens can discuss changes to the constitution – political reform, though being sternly told what they may and may not discuss, and even then it is up to the politicians to decide if they will even bother to implement any changes suggested by members of the Constitutional Convention. (As to who will become members of this hollow talking shop is unknown.)

What better way to waste the citizens’ political energy, if they have any, than to promise political reform while having no intention of it ever being fruitful or productive. What better way than to create a talking shop which will produce nothing of value but will take as much time as necessary to placate the restless backward naive natives.

This needs to be seen for what it is: a dummy target, a facade, a deception, a lie, a political trick, a con – typically what one should expect from the politicians who swindle the Irish citizens day after day.

Not only that but what they would like to see, and will try and fool the Irish citizens into agreeing with, is the Seanad (Irish Senate) being abolished, on the grounds that it would save money and ‘is useless anyway’. What better way to surreptitiously promote their own agenda, than by cloaking it in the lie of political reform, by letting the citizens do their dirty work.

No doubt, if they thought they could get away with it, they would also like the Supreme Court to be abolished, alongside the Presidency and any other democratic institution (which sometimes may actually protect the citizens from the excesses of government authority), which prevents them from being the sole possessor of political dictatorial power in Ireland.

Those who are aware that the political system in Ireland is nothing less than a sham of democracy must also be aware that the Constitutional Convention is nothing more than a sham of political reform, being used by the political parties for their own agenda.

To spend time on the Constitutional Convention is to take part in the fraud, to waste time – time which could be better spent attempting to awaken the citizens to the fact they they are living in a controlled dictatorial feudal political system where the only chance of ever achieving political change will be when the citizens of Ireland, themselves, actually rise up and overthrow the political feudal system and install a democratic constitution – a constitution OF THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE and not of the politicians, for the politicians.

A true democracy will require a true democratic constitution which will limit the powers of the politicians and empower the citizens as it will be they, and they alone, who will own the political system under which they are ruled.

Unfortunately, I fear that most people in Ireland will swallow the ‘Constitutional Convention’ pied piper lie ‘hook, line and sinker’ and will concentrate, and waste, their ‘political activism’ on a pointless convention where much will be said about so many things while nothing of real value, as regards the political wellbeing of the citizens of Ireland, will or can be achieved.

We all should do our best to publicise the fact that it IS a sham but we should not waste our time in attempting to actually achieve anything from the Constitutional Convention – the politicians will not allow real reform. To partake in it is to aid the politicians in their underhand scheme to change nothing, or worse still, they will manage to twist the Constitutional Convention for their own ends.

THEY are the masters in this ‘democracy’. We are the ruled. Their feudal ivory tower needs to be torn down feudal brick by feudal brick – and we are very foolish if we sit around waiting for them to give their permission – they certainly won’t agree to that!

Don’t become an accomplice to their trickery. Reform must come from the citizens themselves – that is where it must start, that is where it can only start.

It is important for all oppressed citizens to thoroughly understand feudal-democracy at a fundamental level, and how it controls and enslaves them while making it appear as if the system is democratic.

Knowledge is power and to remain ignorant of how you are being manipulated and controlled is to guarantee that you remain manipulated and controlled and POWERLESS.

A revolution must start by first understanding the present political system’s flaws, then agreeing a solution, then action to begin installing a true democratic system. It is relevant for all feudal-democratic nations, including but not limited to the USA, UK, Ireland, Spain, Greece, Italy, Germany, Australia, Belgium, and many other nations.
