Blowing Smoke: The Myths of “Democracy”

Democracy is government by the people, as opposed to rule by kings or dictators. After centuries of often oppressive monarchial rule, democratic reforms promised people input in the laws which govern them. It could be argued it has been an improvement.


But many mistakenly believe that democracy is the shield which protects individual rights from state overreach. This is a mistake. History has shown that democracy without a strong constitution to protect individual rights against majoritarian oppression is simply rule by the mob.


In the French Revolution, it was seen that the mob can be as cruel and capricious as any dictator,i and that individual rights fall to the crowd just as easily as to the whims of a king.


The Scriptures say that the heart of mankind is “deceitful above all things and desperately wicked” – Jeremiah 17:9. Direct democracy in France resulted in riots, orgies in the churches, and guillotines on nearly every street corner in the city of Paris. Citizens were accused and massacred on the slimmest allegation, the sentence carried out without due process or appeal.


Humanity is no different today. It is not more enlightened now. Direct democracy in the hands of Antifa, Extinction Rebellion or Black Lives Matter would result in nothing less than the re-creation of the French Revolution. The Roman Catholic Inquisition persecuted and tortured dissenters for centuries. If in charge today it would act no differently than it has in the past. The Puritans of England were known to be as intolerant as the Roman Catholic Inquisitors, but they lacked civil power to exercise their wicked aspirations.


For this reason, it is only when a good constitution is made the supreme law of the land, above the rule of either mobs or kings, above the maneuvers of politicians of the left or the right, that individual rights are safeguarded.

Another word for a strong constitutional government is republicanism.ii Contrary to popular belief, America is not a democracy, but rather a constitutional republic, which incorporates representative government and constitutionalism. The U.S. Constitution does not even use the word, “democracy”, but rather describes the American system of government as republican in nature.


In other words, the Founding Fathers designed the Constitution itself to be the supreme law of the land, over even the desires of the majority.


Let us return to today. In a world where people are losing their individual rights, the political invocation of democracy is often intended to pacify the populace while their rights are stripped away. There even appears to be some correlation between the size of the tyrant and the number of public references to “democracy” that he or she makes, as though tyranny can be offset with sufficient formulistic references to democracy.


For example, it is part of the communist playbook to assert that a totalitarian society is in fact a free and democratic society, when it is not. China claims its one-party authoritarian system is a “democracy” even though there are no meaningful political alternatives to the ruling power in China, and it cruelly stifles and punishes dissent.iii


Venezuela has “elections”, not because dictator Nicholas Maduro cares about representative government, but because he suspects token elections may help stave off greater international condemnation of his regime.iv

The Cuban government claims it is a “people’s democracy”.v


This is all naked, self-serving propaganda. And similar gaslighting is evident in the western world as freedom crumbles and western governments imitate their communist counterparts.


European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen says that she will implement a “European Democracy Shield” if re-elected, but this does not mean she will take steps to ensure robust public discussion, dissent, and criticism of the European Commission’s policies. Far from it. The “Democracy Shield’s” stated purpose, rather, is to “combat disinformation”,vi which we know is code for suppression of dissent and undesirable public discourse.

We recently saw how much the European Commission values individual rights when it suppressed “disinformation” during Covid by attempting to eliminate public disagreement with compulsory Covid vaccine mandates.vii


In Canada, a country with constitutional protections for individual rights that are unfortunately subject to a powerful override clause in section 1 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Justin Trudeau trampled on the rights of peaceful protesters who opposed vaccine mandates and Covid lockdowns, and did so in the name of protecting “democracy”.viii Wartime emergency legislation was invoked to prevent peaceful protests, and citizens were arrested and had their bank accounts frozen.ix These actions were consistent with Chinese authoritarianism, which Trudeau stated publicly that he appreciates.x


Like Ursula von der Leyen, Trudeau also talks big about how much he cares about democracy. He recently announced an C8.4 million dollar grant to study the impact of climate change in the southern hemisphere on democracy.xi


In 2022, Trudeau announced more funding for the G-7 Rapid Response Mechanism to strengthen coordination between countries in responding to threats to their democracies. The “mechanism” was created in 2018 to fight “disinformation and misinformation”, so-called.


If only there was a grant to study politicians who work for the WEF instead of the citizens who elected them, and the resultant impact on democracy.


The Biden administration frequently invokes democracy. In Joe Biden’s State of the Union Address in 2023, he stated, “Folks, there’s one reason why we’ve been able to do all of these things: our democracy itself.” But the Biden administration oversaw vast government collusion with social media platforms like Facebook and YouTube to censor Americans that disagreed with the state on lockdowns and Covid.xii


It’s strange how the same politicians who often trumpet their commitment to democracy rarely mention the constitutions which were created to limit their overreach against citizen’ rights.


The truth is that the western world is riddled with corruption. It doesn’t usually have one party rule, per se, but it has a corrupt and power hungry administrative state (a shadow branch of government not subject to the electorate), an increasingly dictatorial executive branch, and courts which fail to follow the rule of law established in their countries’ respective constitutions. It has leaders who have betrayed their electorate to globalist ambitions and who refuse to secure their own borders.xiii


Europe does not need a “Democracy Shield”. It needs recognition of the Creator’s gift of inalienable rights to every human being so that politicians can’t strip individuals of their rights of speech and religion.  Safeguarding inalienable and intrinsic rights via constitutional protections is the greatest need in Europe, China, Venezuela, Cuba, Canada, and every other country in the world which claims to value individual rights.


Without these constitutional protections, assertions of democracy are just gaslighting from tyrants.

MICHIGAN HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES PASS RESOLUTION TO ESTABLISH PAPAL HOLIDAY

By Wings of Liberty • November 22, 2025
On November 13, 2025, the Michigan House of Representatives passed House Resolution 222 which officially declares November 23, 2025, as “Christ the King Sunday”. Since we had never heard of this festival some research was in order. The Feast of Christ the King is an annual Catholic holy day instituted by Pope Pius XI in 1925 in an encyclical entitled Quas Primas, Latin for “In the First”. i SPOILER ALERT: If you have read papal encyclicals before, this one is just as pretentiously arrogant as the rest of them, full of flowery rubbish the substance of which is that the pope ought to be reinstated as ruler of the world, and outrageous lies about utopia on planet earth if this were to occur. The encyclical would be ridiculous but for the deadly serious history of the murder of millions of martyrs by the Papacy. Rome never changes. Quas Primas was written by Pius XI prior to the Lateran Pact in 1929 which restored civil power to the Papacy. In consequence, the encyclical is a manifesto for the restoration of the union of church and state, and contains a number of statements to this effect: If We ordain that the whole Catholic world shall revere Christ as King, We shall minister to the need of the present day, and at the same time provide an excellent remedy for the plague which now infects society. We refer to the plague of anti-clericalism, its errors and impious activities. [Anticlericalism is criticism of the clergy, especially clergy who are always meddling with civil power]. … Moreover, the annual and universal celebration of the feast of the Kingship of Christ will draw attention to the evils which anticlericalism has brought upon society in drawing men away from Christ, and will also do much to remedy them. While nations insult the beloved name of our Redeemer by suppressing all mention of it in their conferences and parliaments, we must all the more loudly proclaim his kingly dignity and power, all the more universally affirm his rights. … When we pay honor to the princely dignity of Christ, men will doubtless be reminded that the Church, founded by Christ as a perfect society, has a natural and inalienable right to perfect freedom and immunity from the power of the state; and that in fulfilling the task committed to her by God of teaching, ruling, and guiding to eternal bliss those who belong to the kingdom of Christ, she cannot be subject to any external power. … But how is this connected to Resolution 222? Why is the Michigan House of Representatives making resolutions to impose Catholic religious festivals on the people of Michigan, most of whom are not Catholic? The answer is that Christian Nationalists today want the same thing Pius XI wanted when he wrote Quas Primas in 1925, and created the Feast of Christ the King: a union of church and state. The Michigan resolution was sponsored by Republican state Representative and Catholic, Josh Schriver, who also sponsored a resolution in September 2025 to honor Pope Leo XIV upon his election as pope. Mr. Schriver has ties to the so-called Christian Nationalist movement and its ongoing efforts to unite church and state in America. In a 2023 talk radio interview on WCHY-FM, Mr. Schriver declared that “it's God who appoints our elective officials. Honestly, I work for God and not for man. And so I answer to one person, and that's Jesus Christ.” Mr. Schriver’s assertion that he is not accountable to the citizens of the 66 th district is something they will perhaps remember when they have occasion to revisit the ballot box. But we digress. More to the point, the Michigan House of Representatives has taken steps to unite church and state, a violation of the Establishment Clause which is extended to apply to the individual states via the 14 th Amendment. See Everson v. Board of Education, 330 U.S. 1 (1947) - https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/330/1/. Bible prophecy foretells of a coming union of church and state in America, and in the world at large, and the imposition of the mark of papal authority, which is Sunday sacredness. It is not so far fetched as one watches events in the state of Michigan.

The Sun Is Setting on the British Empire

By Wings of Liberty • October 18, 2025
Humanity is accelerating toward the fulfillment of Bible prophecy and the events warned of in Revelation 13-18. Ecumenism is bringing Protestantism back into harmony with the Papacy. The wall of separation between church and state is under attack from religeonists who covet state power to compel their dogmas on the human population. We have passed another signpost. The Church of England split from the Roman Catholic Church in 1534 during the Reformation over a dispute about papal authority and the annulment of Henry VIII’s marriage. As a result of this schism, Anglicans have long had an established creed similar to the Westminster Confession of the Reformed Church. Like the Westminster Confession, the “39 Articles of Anglicanism” formally rejects the papal claim to universal supremacy for the Bishop of Rome. The 39 Articles of Anglicanism include the following: “As the Church of Jerusalem, Alexandria, and Antioch, have erred, so also the Church of Rome hath erred, not only in their living and manner of Ceremonies, but also in matters of Faith”; “The Romeish Doctrine concerning Purgatory, Pardons, Worshiping and Adoration, as well of Images as of Relics, and also Invocation of Saints, is a fond thing, vainly invented, and grounded upon no warranty of Scripture, but rather repugnant to the Word of God”, “It is a thing plainly repugnant to the Word of God, and the custom of the Primitive Church to have public Prayer in the Church, or to minister the Sacraments, in a tongue not understanded of the people”, “Bishops, Priests, and Deacons, are not commanded by God's Law, either to vow the estate of single life, or to abstain from marriage: therefore it is lawful for them, as for all other Christian men, to marry at their own discretion, as they shall judge the same to serve better to godliness”, and “ The Bishop of Rome hath no jurisdiction in this Realm of England.” The Popes assert they “hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty”. England rejected these boastful claims and the Pope’s presumptuous authority to dominate the minds and hearts of humanity. It is not a coincidence that while many other European countries were suffering under the oppression of the Inquisition, England was advancing toward empire. So vast was is influence at one time it was famously even claimed that “the sun never sets on the British empire”. But a great change has come. For some decades England, which never sufficiently distanced herself from Rome doctrineally, has been increasingly friendly toward the Papacy. Today, the globalism of the Roman pontiff is the globalism of King Charles III. The climate change agendas of Pope Francis and Pope Leo XIV are also shared by King Charles III, the latter of who’s father publicly advocated for population reduction and compared humanity to a “plague”. England is also adopting digital IDs and carrying out mass surveillance and censorship on its own citizens, a practice near to the hearts of the prelates of Rome, to be sure. And now, King Charles III, who holds the title of not only king but Supreme Governor of the Anglican Church, is headed to Rome to hold a public prayer ceremony with Pope Leo XIV. The leader of the Anglican Church has not engaged in public prayer with the Bishop of Rome for approximately 500 years. According to the Royal Palace, “This will be the first state visit, since the Reformation, where the Pope and the Monarch will pray together in an ecumenical service in the Sistine Chapel, and the first time the monarch will have attended a service in St Paul’s Outside the Walls, a church with an historic connection to the English Crown.” According to MSN News, Charles III will also accept a new title. “Charles is also being recogenised for the British monarchy’s historic association with the Papal Basilica of St Paul’s Outside the Walls in Rome, the seat of a Benedictine Abbey, and will be made “Royal Confrater” of the abbey.” Rome never changes. The Papacy has not retreated one letter from its false doctrines. It still claims authority over this earth. It still teaches the false doctrine of purgatory and forbids priests to marry, as well as many more false doctrines which Protestants, including Anglicans, object to. So why this ecumenical development today? The change is with the Anglican Church, which is drifting back toward the once-estranged mother as prophecy foretells. The light of sola scriptura that was brought to England by the Bible is being rejected. It seeks the company of the pope, the pretender to the throne of Christ. Like Israel of old, Anglicanism will say, “we have no king but Caesar.” Of all the Protestant denominations, Anglicanism is the closest to Catholicism. The pageantry and formal rites still have many similarities. England mirrors the union of church and state of Roman Catholicism by unifying church and state in the person of the monarch of England. It has no pope, but it has a king who claims to be the head of the church. Now that king will go to Rome. All roads lead there, it is said, and Protestantism has set itself to prove it. The sun is setting on the British empire after all.

An Inconvenient Study

By AnInconvenientStudy.com • October 15, 2025
In 2016, journalist Del Bigtree issued a challenge to the head of infectious disease at one of the most prestigious medical institutions in the world: conduct the most thorough vaxxed vs. unvaxxed study that has ever been done. The expert took up the challenge and ran the study to prove Del wrong. That study never saw the light of day... until now. Learn the implications and maybe for the first time see what the actual data shows. Too often we depend on medical experts , media, what our neighbor says, or what we have always believed. In this documentary type film learn what actual studies show on this issue. It may seem controversial but this presentation strives to reduce controversy to facts. View and perhaps be surprised and informed.
