There is Democracy and there is Demoncracy

To put things simply, we could say that “democracy” means to govern a nation with the consent of its population. But there is another kind of governance; one that is more widespread in the world than most people realize. It is governance that is made to look democratic but in reality is a demonic form of rule. For this reason, it would be appropriate to call it “demon-cracy or demoncracy.”

Before I discuss what this is about, let me tell you a true story. When I opened my school in Montreal and had problems with the landlord, I moved to a building that used to be rented by a union representing the employees of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). In fact the building was not too far from the CBC tower. For a while, people – mostly technicians – dropped in on us, perhaps because they wanted to see what happened to the “old homestead,” as one of them put it, or because they were confused about the union's address. Some of these people got interested in what we were teaching, and kept visiting us when they had the time.

I developed a close friendship with two of them such that I was made privy to the sort of information that does not make it to the public domain. These were truly the kind of “stories behind the stories.” The one that interested me the most was that of the English speaking female reporter who was assigned to spy on a group calling itself: “Jews for Jesus” or some such name. It was a group that the Canadian Jewish Congress wished to obliterate, thus wanted someone who was trusted by the group to gather dirt on its members. They wanted the dirt not to broadcast it, but to hand it to the Canadian Jewish Congress.

The story of that reporter/spy was known to the people at the lowest level of the CBC hierarchy, therefore must have been known to those who sit higher up in the Corporation since nothing in that place failed to filter up, I was told … and yet no one did anything to put a stop to the practice of using a reporter to spy on a legitimate group. To me, this is a symptom of what demoncratic rule looks like. But a full blown manifestation of this kind of governance screams at the world from the chambers that make up the American Congress.

The main question to ask is this: How did the act of using reporters to spy on groups opposed to the Jewish establishment, develop into an organization such as AIPAC that has managed to control not only the American Congress, but the entire English speaking world? Well, an article written by Matthew Continetti and published on March 28, 2015 in National Review Online (NRO) under the title: “James Baker's Zombie Foreign Policy,” is but a real example of the intermediary steps that were employed to go from the level of the lowly reporter to that of the AIPAC monster.

In the same way that the Canadian Jewish Congress went after the group “Jews for Jesus” some time ago, the entire Jewish Establishment in America today is using the media outlets it controls (such as NRO) to destroy a rising rival group calling itself J Street. The occasion was that people who left their mark on history such as former Secretary of State James Baker; and people who are currently making history such as White House chief of staff Denis McDonough, have visited the rival and have spoken to its members. In the words of Continetti, this legitimizes J Street and suggests “a division in GOP ranks when there isn't any.”

Thus, to destroy J Street before it gets to be fully legitimate in the eyes of the Jewish Establishment, the author of the article unleashes a diatribe that is aimed at destroying the good name that James Baker has made for himself over the decades through hard work, sharp intellect, and the kind of courage that a hundred of today's Congressional dogs could not replicate no matter how loudly they bark, and no matter for how long they maintain their threatening posture.

Why did Continetti go through the trouble of developing a diatribe of this lethality? He did it because James Baker is on the list of advisers that were retained by Jeb Bush, a man on the verge of announcing his candidacy to run for President of the United States. And what the author of the article wants to see happen is what he expresses in this passage: “It's W.'s advice Jeb Bush should listen to, not Jim Baker's.” But why is that?

Because Continetti believes that the W. shaped the current policies of the Republican Party which remains strong on defense, hawkish and unabashedly pro-Israel.

And that's all that counts to this man and to all those like him. It is Israel, always Israel, and no one but Israel.
