America's Subversive Problem, We The People's Full Solution
 
Let's "provide for the common defence" of our Self-Governance and Five Kinds of Public Good all under assault from within

by Dan Ruuska     Version 2, revision 03.21.08

Attention all citizens, groups, and media who want to help foster America's public/national interest -- principled self-governance (unfettered democratic processes, truly representative governance) and the five kinds of public good listed in the first sentence of our Constitution (justice, domestic tranquility needed for cooperative unity, common defense, general welfare, liberty) -- including full homeland/national security of government of/by, and for, We the People:

To succeed don't play by the rules of "rigged market-based democracy," our present form of democracy that assures loss of self-governance and public good. Use "real American democracy" instead.

("Rigged market-based democracy:" a form of democracy that frees American wealth-and-power aided by their media machine to consolidate, grow in strength, and take wealth and power from citizens -- financial wealth, well-being wealth, and self-governance power -- and blocks citizens, and America as a whole, from seeing and stopping that wrong and harm.)

("Real American democracy:" a form of democracy that fosters the principled self-governance and bountiful public good demanded in our Declaration of Independence, won during the American Revolution, symbolized by our Flag, and ordained in our Constitution and Bill of Rights.)

Mount a resolute homeland/national defense against the relatively few Americans who altered our real American democracy into a rigged market-based democracy during the past generation, and who today morph our government of/by/for We the People into a government of/by/for Wealth and Power and take wealth and power from the public -- huge sums of financial wealth, five kinds of well-being wealth that form the common-good bedrock of the American Dream, and supreme self-governance power -- all so very skillfully most citizens can't see who they are OR the wrong and harm they inflict. Neutralize their subversive power. Heal their wounds to our principled self-governance and five kinds of public good.

THE PROBLEM

Consolidated American wealth-and-power (a fusion of wealth/corporate, federal executive/legislative/judicial, intelligence/military, red/blue political-party, mass-media, and Christian-Right powers into an unbridled wealth-and-power juggernaut), in order to further consolidate and acquire more and more wealth and power for themselves at the expense of America's self-governance and public good (a danger so feared by the Framers they wired a homeland-security system into our Constitution and Bill of Rights to eternally ward off such a fate) -- aided by their advertising/PR/news/entertainment media machine, an information monopoly and persuasion weapon that tricks the public to think and act in wealth-and-power's interest and against the public/national interest (which has supplanted a key element of our founding homeland-security system: a free press) -- beginning around 1980 gradually and stealthily morphed our "real American democracy" serving We the People into a "rigged market-based democracy" serving Wealth and Power.

The result: Our standard methods of good citizenship and active democracy toward achieving and securing self-governance and public good -- including reading and watching the news to stay informed, engaging in principled dissent, whistleblowing in the public interest, working on self-governance and common-good issues, writing to our Senators and Congressperson, voting red or blue -- barely work anymore. No matter what civic action we undertake, and no matter who we vote for, total annual citizen losses of wealth and power from the nearly 300 million Americans NOT at the top of the wealth-and-power heap -- losses of financial and well-being wealth, losses of self-governance power -- continue to rise. More so when we elect reds. Less so when we elect blues.

The mounting losses of self-governance and public good within America that began around 1980 -- stemming from the breach of homeland/national security of America's self-governance and public good -- is kept out of our national news and political debate by those who committed the breach and are causing the losses: consolidated American wealth-and-power and their media machine.

The red and blue parties, and today's media, do not address this #1 issue. America needs a new political party, and a reformed media, who will.

THE SOLUTION

Spot and surmount the divide-and-conquer manipulations that consolidated American wealth-and-power and their media machine are wielding against us. They want Divided We Fall. We need United We Stand. So team up. Like in 1776.

Deploy and wield a surefire democracy weapon and tool for total homeland/national defense of self-governance and public good that's based on and legally/morally backed by our Three Charters of Freedom: CivicPowerUSA.org.

A broad-based national civic-action congress of concerned citizens and groups -- and its likely spinoff, a new political party that could easily trounce the two major parties betraying America -- can forge and hone the weapon and tool into full strength and sharpness.

*** Do it to neutralize the right wing (10% of the public) -- consolidated American wealth-and-power protected and served by their media machine that disguises the right as "conservative" and the media as "liberal" -- who breached the homeland/national security of America's self-governance and five kinds of public good beginning around 1980, takes wealth and power from conservatives and liberals (90% of the public) and other nations today, and thereby proves itself to be a homeland version of the consolidated-wealth-and-power enemy waging war on self-governance and public good described at length in the central section of the document of dissent we celebrate every Fourth of July.

*** Do it to restore and grow America's democratic processes, representative governance, justice, cooperative unity, common defense, general welfare, liberty, and international good will.

The homeland enemy is small and vulnerable: The right's wealth/corporate core -- consolidated wealth/corporate, federal executive/legislative/judicial, intelligence/military, red/blue political-party, and mass-media powers -- has a half-million members (0.2% of the public). The right's Christian-Right core has 30 million members (10% of the public); their aggressive/inhumane/nihilistic brand of Christianity emerged a century AFTER America did; mainstream Christianity is six-times larger. By enlisting the Christian Right -- who share an aim: acquire more and more power over the public -- the wealth/corporate core grew the size of the right and the right's power during elections and influence over the elected by more than fifty-fold. Neutralize the wealth/corporate core, and the power of the Christian Right dies also. The linchpin holding all parts of the right wing together consists of 537 red/blue elected federal representatives (0.0002% of the public) who violate our trust by serving consolidated wealth-and-power at the expense of We the People in return for wealth/corporate campaign cash (transmuted into protected free speech by judges they appointed) and a bloc of Christian-Right votes (made effective by the right's suppression of voter turnouts).

During this long-overdue major maintenance and tune-up of our republic -- why not call it American Revolution II -- a new political party easily trounces the red/blue monopoly betraying America. How easily? Study the new party's irresistible hot selling points in CivicPowerUSA.org! More than 200 million conservatives and liberals whose families and futures are being hurt by the right, including mainstream Christians who outnumber the unChristlike Christian Right by six-to-one, flood to the polls and replace the corrupt heart in Washington D.C. -- the 537 elected reds and blues pumping wealth and power out of the public and into the consolidated-wealth-and-power few -- with a principled one.

Unlike before, today's right-wing foe is disguised as friend and is winning big with feeble resistance from the well-armed public they are busily taking wealth and power from.

Help alert and rally America to mobilize and carry out this resolute homeland/national defense -- of self-governance and the five kinds of public good -- BEFORE the right wing and their media machine totally cripple and sap the ability and will of We the People to stop them.
