Down the Political Helter-Skelter

What is a Helter-Skelter?

It is a slide popular in England from days gone bye.

In our image we see a depiction of one.

You climbed stairs inside the device and slide down on a mat to the bottom.

Nothing like today's maniacal heart pounding rides.

But it serves to show the human condition when it comes to politics.

Let me tell you more...

I grew up in a very politically charged environment, Belfast Northern Ireland.

To observe and participate in the cultural identities of those time was without doubt captivating.

It was a time of fear, uncertainty, identity to a group without question.

"Why one politician, a prime minister of Ireland no less stated that the peoples of Northern Ireland were

"irreducibles."

Meaning you can't get ride of them politically, you have to get rid of them physically.

By what means he was going to get rid of the "irreducibles" was clear.

Emigration to sympathetic lands, conversion to the dominant political plan, or extinction by all other means.

The Age Old Triumvirate

The age old triumvirate was and always shall be:

The Religion that dominates the land.

The Political power that Religion can enforce.

The Education controls to keep the Religion and Political power it welds.

The Sheepal and their problem

Societies, Cultures and the Commerce that supports them are fascinating things.

In my situation I was prepared to move on and look for more than what was given.

I cared for those who had hardened themselves into the violent voice of the tribe.

But it wasn't for me.

Now I live in America, a land and population under siege by every political view going.

The very idea that America exists offends just about everyone.

And at it's core is the very idea of a political condition that allows the dissenters to right to dissent.

Beyond my thinking.

Back to the Helter-Skelter.

In my youth and while living in England I actually rode of these devices of amusement!

What you did was pay at the door, climb the wooden steps and at the top receive a woven mat.

You then went out of the top opening and sat down on the mat and were taken to the bottom with a rush.

It lasted just a few seconds, then thump. You hit the bottom.

Want to go again?

Well here is the analogy.

We have built a helter-Skelter.

The American political machine that offers one and all a ride.

You pay to play, always.

How did it get to this?

Our American Helter-Skelter was designed as a Republic.

Long since disappeared.

What is a Republic?

re·pub·lic

rəˈpəblik/

noun

* a state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives, and which has an elected or nominated president rather than a monarch.

 

Governed by a rule of law and a constitution of checks and balances. All slipping away down the helter-skelter of New Deals, and more...

We the people, aren't the supreme anything but a consumer. That is all.

We are viewed as a Democracy now, and what a thing it is!!

What is a Democracy?

This Democracy has three phases to it.

Why does it even matter to discuss them today?

People are sick of politicians and the lies, lies and more lies they spout about things they say they will do and don't.

Phase 1.

A political Democracy ordains that members of different population groups, Vote together, Legislate together and Rule together.

A Political Democracy begins as a means of protecting property and life.
