============================== =============
My "general theory" ...
by W Finnerty Tue Jul 16, 2013 11:28
There are ONLY TWO basic forms of governance.
One can roughly be described in general terms as "government of the
people, by the people, for the people", and the other as "government of
the ruling-elites, by the ruling-elites, for the ruling-elites".
The first form, or set of forms more like, can also be labelled -- albeit
in a rough-and-ready and imprecise manner as well -- as
"constitutional"; and, the second as "totalitarian".
Recorded human history shows, beyond all doubt (in my opinion), that of
the two, "constitutionalism" is generally far healthier and safer for
humanity as a whole than "totalitarianism"; and, as evidence of this, I
would point to the amazing bout of socially benign "human creativity"
associated with what is one of the very earliest recorded forms of
"constitutionalism" (such as it was at the time) in ancient Athens
(circa 2500 BC).
The founding fathers of the Republic of the United States of America --
also in a rough and ready way -- in their day, replicated the Athenian
form of constitutional governance to some considerable extent (despite much
local support for slavery at the time), and, the 16th president of the
Republic of the United States of America (Abraham Lincoln) came VERY
close to completing the "unfinished work" of making "government of the people, by the people, for the
people" a permanent global fixture (as I see and understand that
particular historic situation in and around the mid 1800s): before very
suddenly having a bullet discharged into the back of his head from point
blank range by an assassin, who apparently was part of a considerably
larger group of conspirators (some of whom were later hanged in
connection with the assassination).
More recently, and although very few -- if any (?) -- seem to have
researched the situation in real depth (as far as I know), a small but
very desperate
and determined
group of people in the United States of America eventually managed to
"assemble"
(during the 1930s, 40s, and 50s) what later grew into the now global
fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous. Those who have looked closely at the
very finely-tuned texts of the "Three Legacies" of Alcoholics Anonymous,
which eventually emerged from a lengthy "trial and error" style
learning process involving all of the founder members who wished to
participate, will know that it is arguably the best example of
successful "constitutionalism" at work -- in a by now well-established
socially benign way, and on a GLOBAL
basis -- in human history (so far).
By very deliberate design, and of
absolute necessity it seems, the Alcoholics Anonymous application of
"constitutionalism" -- represented by the set of 36 guidelines and principles
which form the basis of AA's Three Legacies, is extremely tightly restricted around a single very
well-defined "primary purpose"; and, very interestingly, the main
reason for this particularly tight restriction is to prevent the "ruling
elite types" from taking over the whole global organisation of
Alcoholics Anonymous for themselves, and, given the opportunity, to then set
about arrogantly demanding that they be allowed to do everybody else's
thinking for them: as is their way, and/or their very worrying and
sickening "affliction", as some might see it.
Among the main reasons we do not now live under a "government of the
people, by the people, for the people" form of governance is the fact
that the "ruling elites" have made it their business to take FULL
CONTROL (more or less) of "popular ideology"; and, now that they have
control of it, they do not wish to let go of it. Far from it!!
Note the growing desperation just now of the Obama Administration to get
their hands on Edward Snowden, which includes the recent outrageous --
and in so far as I know COMPLETELY UNLAWFUL -- "stop and search"
grounding of the Bolivian President's aircraft about some weeks ago. They
want to know everybody's business (in detail) through the secret
snooping activities of the NSA and GCHQ (which they deny in public,
shameless liars that they are), and to use it for every form of
manipulation and control imaginable: all for the purpose of sustaining
"government of the ruling-elites, by the ruling-elites, for the
ruling-elites", on a GLOBAL basis; and, all fully justified under the cunning
and devious
pretext of: "national security needs".
In this arrangement of theirs, the "ruling elites" -- whose membership
includes the banksters, many leading lawyers and politicians, psychiatrists, "big
business" people, religious leaders, university professors, trades union
leaders, main stream media journalists, police officers, and so on -- the majority of
"the people" (or the "general public" for those who prefer that term) are, for
all worthwhile practical purposes COMPLETELY EXCLUDED from the decision
making processes of how we are governed as a nation: and therein lies
the core problem connected with the "ruling elite" form of governance: a
core problem which has a great many "difficult and very challenging
offspring", as far as the general well being of humanity as a whole is
concerned.
"Participation is the key to harmony" (as the old saying goes).

"Who are the despots?"
by W. Finnerty Wed Jul 17, 2013 12:28
Reply to Sean Crudden at Tue Jul 16, 2013 23:31 ...
Defining "despotism" as "a form of government in which power is
concentrated in the hands of an individual or a small group", I would
say that -- as far as my own particular set of "ruling elite" difficulties are concerned -- the
group of Republic of Ireland, UK, and EU lawyers, law-firms, and law societies,
who continue to collectively refuse to provide me with legal
representation in connection with the set of legal and medical issues I
outlined in my letter to consultant psychiatrist Dr Anne Jeffers on May
28th 2013, are the most worrying, and the most damaging, of the several
despotic groups I have directly encountered and experienced personally
since I returned to the Republic of Ireland (to retire) in 1998.
In other words, my "In First Place" goes to the members of legal
professions who collectively continue to refuse to provide me with legal
representation, for the purpose of helping me to resolve the growing
set of EXTREMELY SERIOUS legal problems I have been struggling with (on
my own for the most part) during the past several years.
At the present time, my "In Second Place" -- Position #2 in the
"Dangerous Despots League" (as I think of it) -- would go to the group
of three senior Republic of Ireland medical doctors who, in so far as I
am aware, appear to have ALL decided to COMPLETELY IGNORE the ENTIRE
CONTENTS of the set of three registered letters I sent to
Consultant Psychiatrist Dr Anne
Jeffers, to Dr Anthony McCarthy (President of the College of
Psychiatry), and to Dr James Reilly TD (Minister for Health) on May 28th
2013.
Scanned copies of three very closely related registered letters referred to in
the paragraph immediately above, together with the scanned copies of the associated Post Office
receipts and delivery notes, can be found via the following Human
Rights Ireland www location:
http://www.humanrightsireland.com/DrAnneJeffers/28May2013/Email.htm#SetOfThree
I feel I should make it clear that, to date, I have not received any
"acknowledgement of receipt" of any kind from any of the three medical
doctors for any of the three registered letters I sent to them on May
28th 2013; and, that consequently, I have no means of knowing -- for
sure -- if any of them (as individuals) are even aware of these letters I
sent to them on May 28th last, or not?
It is the case however, as indicated above, that the Post Office Internet tracking service
has provided me with very clear evidence that all three registered
letters in question were successfully delivered on May 29th 2013 to the
three different postal addresses I sent them to (on May 28th 2013): as
can be seen from the scanned copies of the Post Office delivery notes
available via the www address provided immediately above.
