Partisanism, Statism and the art of Democratic Zen

My Blog buddy Paul from Celestial junk ran an idea past me thinking it may be a way to open alternate viewpoints to Canadians who see far to little variation in political/ideological orthodoxy in their media. What started off as an e-mail reply ended up as an opus of the socio-political situation in Canada from my perspective as a non statist....as opposed to those who accept statism as "normal" for Canada, when I know this to be historicaly and constitutionally incorrect.

Hmmmm…starting a book blog with reviews of alternate Viewpoints out of the leftist mainstream??

A very admirable goal Paul, but it is NOT non statists like conservatives, libertarians Reformers and sundry Laissez-faire loving folks that NEED to read books that portray the alternate point of view to the single minded Bolshy-style mind wash from a conformist Canadian MSM....it is the vast dumbed down public....how do you get to them? If their concepts of Canadian politics/history/culture come from CBC, what makes you think they're inquisitive enough to search out alternate media and actually read something with substance that challenges their mass media indoctrinated belief systems? Our basic premise that statist/socialist coerced egalitarianism does not equal civil/economic freedom or approximate civil justice is lost on those conditioned to ask the state for everything…even their opinions. How do you reach people content with a benign serfdom?

The “netizens” we see on line are relatively literate or technical people .... most are strongly partisan….some are shilling foamy mouthed orthoxies. It takes too much time to get a partisan or doctrinaire dogmatic partisan to change camps...besides we don't have a "camp" what we are vending is a return to traditional democratic governing principles, fairness, reasonability and awareness that doctrinaire partisan politics is all a matter of mind washing and deep compromise of principle.....we want people to think outside the partisan box…get outside the narrow ideological template your partisnism restricts your thinking to and become loyal to a set of universal democratic principles...reject reflexive partisnism and errant guit induced orthodoxies for the civil responsibilities of the free individual citizen and embrace accessible, accountable, responsible democracy as a first loyalty…

A Canadian patriot’s first duty is to the health of this nation’s representative democracy, equal application in the rule of law and the freedom of it’s citizens….recently we should be very concerned with restraining the reaching tentacles of social engineering statism...this last item is the greatest threat to individual rights and freedoms than any other ideological government doctrine. I think this message transcends party politics and if the left were not as dogmatic as the far right, they will see that the conspicuous and chronic criminality and conflicted ethics, errant foreign ideologies and ultra vires statist governance entrenched in Ottawa is not a matter of brand name politics......it’s a matter of a crisis in citizenship....in people becoming so civilly apathetic or dogmatically partisan or ill informed that they ignore the degenerating governing institutions in this country....the constant loss of governmental accountability and individual freedoms to corruption and sprawling statism....that is the message I want to get out....

Harper is not the messenger of this…he is responding to OUR ( non statists) messaging. And although his policy continuity is a tad uneven, he and CPC provide the only alternative at this time to hope to stop the slide…I also notice some rays of light on the Liberal back benches who are acting more like classic Liberals and are disgusted with the current partisan degeneracy of their party, Parliament and our democracy….there are even small rays of light in the BQ and Dipper ranks…..peace, order and good government is a non partisan goal….neither is it achieved with degenerated statism replacing vibrant confederalism as Ottawa has tried the past decade.

It is unreasoning partisan forces that are telling us we must accept degenerated governance and moral decay in our leaders and government because there are “worse” alternatives….well here’s one Canadian patriot that will loudly proclaim there are NO worse alternatives to the creeping corrupt statism that errant partisan politics of the past decade have steered our nation towards.

I’m no fawning camp follower of the CPC or Steven Harper, but I can tell you neither of these entities is as scary or has the hidden agenda of the current profligate Machiavellian cartel which clings to power weakening our unity and health and affecting our judgement like a tumor on the nation’s brain.


Don't get me wrong, I think your idea for encouraging more people to read more variety has merit but with so few resources on our side and time at a premium....we have to focus on messaging vehicles that will produce the most impact with the least resources and time consumption.

I do envision what we (Non statist, anti Machiavellian) bloggers and web entities are doing is a quest for cultural and governmental sanity....opening an alternate form of messaging to get an alternate message out that is strangled in the co-opted old line media. Like Marshall McLuhan said: “.the message is the media”....so we have to be the media and our message will be the passion with which we object to corruption.

Canada does not have that long left, and with the recent knives out for Harper and gloom predictions for the CPC , signal that the media is ready to kill off another alternative to status quo Federal partisan sleaze….. soon an alternative for proper parliamentary democratic change will cultured by the media as dead in the collective public mind. A final chance to escape single party statism and the inherent corruption it brings will be gone once and for all…if the Eastern public swallows this mind washing and returns the Martin Cartel as a government…I'm thinking that from that point forward it is every man for himself.

At the point where Harper and CPC fail ( or more accurately been foiled by eastern political/media establishment machiavellian subterfuge) it will be an open act of war by the eastern politcal establishment on the west, non partisan non socialist citizens, their ideals of democratic reform and equitable confederalism, conservative economics and cultural mores.

They are telling the these people at large and the west specifically, that there is no way they will ever be allowed a place at the table, let alone a PM, and they should just shut up and keep taking it up the wazoo from corrupt, degenerate, statist Ottawa..."keep your yaps shut while we continue to pick your pockets to pay our special pals and we continue to absorb power and concentrate it in our central control…and don’t even think you can do a thing about it...we control the federal system and it’s co-opted media and we will destroy every political leader and party you send here trying to change this status quo"...so sayeth the eastern political/media establishment.

At that point my messaging changes and my audience changes.....my audience will be NON-Statists and Westerners and the message is that federalism is irreparably broken, corrupt, is not working for them and should be rejected in the same way they have rejected and marginalized us....time to start the process of breaking free of Ottawa's influence. I will also encourage Quebec and any other province or private sovereign individual to do likewise. A government elected by one part of the country that legislates only for one part of the country cannot claim a mandate nor the right to completely ignore the will of the people who did not vote for them….in many cases a majority of voters supported other parties/policy options other than the one claiming full mandate. This MUST change…and it will…probably without the help of the Ottawa political establishment.

That may sound radical to you but Canadians ( in central Canada) are asleep, or ignorantly smug or reliant on Federal wages or subsidies and have allowed an entrenched criminal cartel to ruin the nation’s government .....nothing short of a crisis will get their attention that there is another Canada that is being looted and treated unjustly....if in fact they care about the west as anything other than a source of revenue well for eastern nanny state goodies. The same could be said for anyone they deem to be non statist…someone who functions and thinks outside the folds of the nanny state skirts is viewed with suspicion and fear in many eastern environs.

Marshall McLuhen also said:” Only puny secrets need protection. Big discoveries are protected by public incredulity.”

Perhaps he was a visionary who foresaw the covert usurpation of our confederal democracy by a modern corporate-political cartel back in the early sixties when he said this...he is saying that a vast civil abomination ( like the subversion of Canadian freedom) will hide in plain sight behind the wide disbelief it has taken place ….. Tell people that the '82 charter reduced our freedoms instead of guaranteeing them and you get a blank stare...futher tell then the charter permits unelected judicial lawmaking and usurps parliament...they won't believe you...then tell them that Canada has been lead by the employees of a powerful Quebec business magnet and they will start calling you names.....but the abomination is still hiding in plain suight for anyone who wants to see it.....just a repeat of history as Canada had suffered under business networked political power brokering cartels in the past until revolt brought back responsible democracy to the nation.

Now if you have any knowledge of the history surrounding my nom de plume ( Mr. Mackenzie) you will know he was a reformer who was forced into being a revolutionary to rid Canada of a corrupt political cartel ( the Family compact)....his fiery writing and oratory inspired simple farmers and timorous souls to stand up to corruption....it inspired a revolt that sent a shock wave to the halls of power that precipitated Canada's first responsible government.

I deeply believe history will repeat itself. It will be Canadian patriots who must rid Canada of the corporate patronage statist cartel with a current strangle hold on Ottawa (our modern family compact)...we are degenerating into a corrupt 3rd world kleptocracy....if this cabal fends off efforts to remove it democratically by controlling the people in the most populous region with disinfomation mind wash, dirty tricks, bribery and unconstitutional acts, more drastic measures are in order. Open armed revolt is no longer needed to rid a nation of a corrupt cartel clinging to power….there are several bloodless legal ways for modern Canadians to revolt against this modern family compact sitting in Ottawa…the obvious one is to rise abouve the din of brainwashing partisanism and remove them as a punishment for errant governance…however if the center of the nation is hood winked into the self debasing act of rewarding corruption and bad governance by returning the current cabal…I’m certain Quebec will attempt to exercise just one of these options, but there are other approximated-sovereignty options without full separation…on a personal level there is a tax revolt option or a national strike against corruption and poor government. Lech Walesa had far greater odds to face when he sought to wrestle democratic reform from the jaws of monolithic statism than Canadian patriots do today.

We just need to arm ourselves with the truth and follow our passion to live in a more democratic nation where the individual’s will is respected.
