Impending Death Splurge - Fungible Courts

The court system for the United States was very advanced for its time; 3 layers of appeals and all the lessons learned of the English legal system. However, conservative justices have shown that tyrants in a robe are still tyrants just the same. Going by the Anarchic principal that Hierarchy is corruption, the trick is to make appeals process as flat as possible and ensure that the jury is made of qualified experts and peers. We can have 12 judges, randomly selected from the population, with a single person jury who takes the votes of the judges, breaks ties and also is able to rule evidence that doesnt qualify as inadmissable. This ensures that 'qualified' judges dont get to corrupt the legal process; and precedent while non binding can be considered by the legal clerk or other experts in the law. The courts should be owned by the population and entirely incorruptible.

Impending Death Splurge - Seven Prime Ministers

A cabinet will have many ministeries or if American they will likely still be called Departments with Secretaries...but seven positions should be coequal and share the provisions that the current President as Head of Government has the following:

Head Legislator - This position directs the parties legislative efforts to push an agenda of the governing coalition. They are effectively also the head of the Party that runs the coalition.

Head Commander - This position is specically the civilian commander and chief of the armed forces. This person has no other duty but to command the military as dictated by the dictates of the parliament and if time permits the populace at large. His duty is to call and have votes to ratify a declaration of war and justify why it is needful. It should be ratified by the population or it doesnt happen. In war, he commands the army and war strategy.

Head Justice - This position represents oversight of the prosecutoral agents in each executive department or agency. He directs strategy and also directs the prosecution of all laws enacted by the Parliament. He can investigate anyone. Effective Head of all Law Enforcement agencies such as the FBI or DHS.

Head Treatier - This is not a seller of treats but a souped up secretary of state who is in charge of ensuring ratification of all treaties or international participation in multi national government organizations including Military / Mutual Defense treaties. He can veto any action by the Head Justice or Head Commander that violates an agreed upon international treaty. He is also able to investigate the Head Justice for criminal violations so that no one is in charge of investigating themselves.

Head Secretary - Runs all other departments or agencies not covered by Justice, State or Defense. May veto any action covering a law or regulation effecting their agencies. In charge of earned benefits and laws and regulations governing State Charters created by the National Chorus

Head Ombusman - Always has standing in any court. In charge of defending laws not enforced by anyone else. If the law isnt enforced by him for a period of time then it becomes null and void. In charge of receiving direct citizen positions and representing them in court so that the individual has a representative at the highest level of governments. The Elites deserve nothing.

Head Dodger - Able to veto over all other positioned. Named after the Artful Dodger and is in charge of admistration of courts and agencies that enforce the will of the courts. Prosecutes or decides all Contempt enforcement whether of court or the Parliament or the Chorus or the National Assembly/population. Is the effective voice of the National Assembly/Population at large and in charge of ensuring that the popular will is maintained and that election integrity ensures cooperation with the government. Also always has standing in any court.

All Vetos can be overridden by Parliament AND/OR by the National Assembly / Population.

Impending Death Splurge - Flat Parliaments

So if we are flattening and democratizing government to keep capitalists and conservatives from destroying it, we need to make the voter the ultimate arbiter of everything and allow every judicial decision, bill, policy or appointment to be appealed to the people writ large, but we should also make people only need to get involved if they want. Parliaments mix party interests in the legislative and executive function, and I think having a cabinet of agencies with a devolved prime minister spread wide and flat allows parties to form deals which is what parliaments do best.


But the party law makers as legislatures should only draft legislation which must be ratified annually by the populace whi can vote simply by colored party line or get into the weeds and ratify or not ratify by individual bill; as well as have an option demanding a follow up election where that bill can be separated by sections and voted for or against. If the populace is educated and involved this endures a good society indeed but if its just parties them the parties know they can jam crap down peoples throats like the UK parliament and nasty tories; since they can be recalled at any time and ALL legislation but be ratified by the majority of the population.

Corruption is still possible, but corruption is alway possible but unless the population has some reason to get something out of the law, they will never approve it and since laws must be reratified every year that means it wont last if people dont want it.

Impending Death Splurge - A National Transition Plan

Let's all remember that the 1789 Constitution was illegal. The Articles of Confederation were so broken and so useless that the leaders of the country, including many of the Founding Fathers, set up a constitutional convention with the idea of fixing the Articles and instead they met in secret to propose an entirely new government. There was no Article V in the Articles of Confederation. The people just DID it and then it was ratified by the states.

The legitimacy of the state and the power to govern derives itself from the governed; even when not a democracy. Even when it pretends to be otherwise like a Monarhy or a Theocracy it still gets its power from the people who govern it. Under the 1789 constitution, you can't abolish the states, but if you make a constitution from scratch, ratified by the people at large. If the majority ratifies it, then its just as legitimate if not more so, then the old one.

Meaning, if the government doesnt stop a new constitution being made, or people voting on it, then you can get a new one. Of course, the old government typically has a say in that with this thing called the United States Military. But the Terrorist Red States can be circumvented from a tyranical 3/5th or 2/3rd majority impossible in their fly over minority rule, without abandoning the blue cities trapped in their Terrorist jurisdictions by focusing on the Democratic Party (or technically any other party but since we want to actually win and not be terrorists or nazis thats the one I'm writing about.). Run a candidate with the platform of holding a vote for a new constitution and all they have to do is prevent the military or DHS or FBI from rounding up the people voting on it.

Congress will babble of course but if a new congress is assembled and disolves the old and the President legitimizes it, then that automatically empowers the new governement. And there is almost nothing worth keeping about the current highly broken system.

Impending Death Splurg - Larping the Church of Crime

A larp stands for live action roleplay. The church of Crime is an invention of DC Comics with Organized Crime who worship crime and the God of Evil Darkseid. I always found the concept clownish but its no more ridiculous than the Republican Party which has such fools and evil idiots that any cartoon villain looks well balanced and well reasoned compared to it.

So the way you test your government is larp it out; pass bills, make decisions, pass laws but make sure that at least a third of the members belong to the Church of Crime. That way centrists and lecturing liberals wont squirm at making fun of their tools and pals the Republicans or the Conservstives

A government strong enough to survive two or three daya governing with the church of crime in it is far better than some shangrila utopia that hasnt been tested. A government that is going to help people has to be built from the ground up to keep conservatives out of power and to minimize that power one they or their party... i mean church of crime... are publicly declared as such.

I intend to eventually organize larps in just such a way.

Impending Death Surge - Red Team vs Blue Team

In the Military, exercizes are often done with one team pretending to be the enemy and one the home team. This doesnt predict what the enemy will due but it can predict what they may do and properly done, even what they are likely to do. Any new constitution must have itself tested against the forces that might destroy it.

So if I can unilaterally condemn capitalism as a failure for Climate Change and Fascism in the Free World alone....then next on deck as a total failure is Conservatism. I'm not going to get in other people's weeds of how they define it. I've known its been a problem for 15 years and have been seeking a legal definition of how to forbid it in a way that doesnt flat out outlaw Freedom of Association and I've come up with this one.

Outlaw any organization that does 2 of the 3:

1) Is Nostalgic about the past

2) Demonizes the Other

3) Lies like they breathe

I've found examples of this behavior in every human society since the dawn of time fictional or otherwise. Sometimes they are reactionary or 'movement conservative' or even communist but they ACT like Cnservatives. The Khmer Rouge were communists but they did all three of those things. A party that demonizes the other is going to go fascist if they arent put in check. A party that lies like they breathe is VERY likely to be conservative because conservatism favors lying. And lyrics to "Tomorrow Belongs to Me" aside, Conservatism always talks about 'the traditions of our fathers' and how the evil immigrants are stealing their jobs etc etc. Simply outlawing a flavor of this is going to have the same effect that Germany did outlawing Nazi, only to have supermarket generic fascism in the AfD.

Far Right parties if you describe Far Right as Anti Immigrant are THE most prime targets to get violent, to accept and encourage lies, to tactically be willing to do anything and everything to win elections including lie cheat and steal. We dont have to guess about this; the Axis of Fascism has allied all over the world; Bannon attends meetings with Putin and Slovakia and Hungary are clearly aligned with Putin. China, Russia, Saudi Arabia and Iran are all allied to fuck with the US; even though they fuck with each other. But Saudi Arabia has its thumbs and fingers in nearly every pie undermining democracy up to and including particularly the Trump Family and Jared Kushner.

Lies do not work in a Market Place of Ideas. And its not like Conservatism ever helps anyone except the Rich. Everything they say they believe in is a lie; everything.

Tomorrow I will speak more on how we can conservative proof democracies.

Impending Death Posts - JIT Economic Governance

The following should (to me) be in any new constitution created by a democratic society.

1) Forbid public paid political expression from the top .01% income of the population. You can be rich or you can criticize or publicly influence the government, but you cannot do both. Once you become that rich, your ability to corrupt a functioning democratic government is sufficiently high that you dont get to contribute to political campaigns, political access campaigns, political special interest groups; none of it. You can donate to charities, but those charities must also receive small donations from non rich people to equate to half their income, and you dont get a seat on any board (governing or advisory) of a charity or NGO that attempts public advocacy or to influence public opinion or public governance in any way.

Full stop, do not collect $200, do not pass go.

2) The upper income tax rate is decided independently with no exceptions of any kind. Even the legislature or the government itself cannot adjust this formula short of a full constitutional rewrite and any new constitution would be idiotic to allow anything else. No exceptions. None.

The upper income tax bracket should go up by 1% if the median GNP per capita of the lower 90% of the population goes down relative to the upper .01% percent. If the median income of the lower 90% relative to the upper .01% goes up for 10 years in a row, then the upper tax rate goes down 1%. If it EVER goes down, the 10 year clock resets, but if it KEEPS going up, then the upper % can keep going down to 0.

If you are rich and want your taxes to go down, you make sure that EVERYONE prospers and you cant bribe the legislature to do it.

Full stop, do not collect $200, do not pass go. Tax breaks are for the not rich.

3) Unionization is a right. It should be unalterable by congress except to enforce the basic provisions.

a) The union must always be democratic.

b) The union should always be allowed to own at least 10-15% of the stake of whatever venture the workers participate in.

c) If the organization has stock, they must also be able to participate in 10-15% of any stock issued; ownership or governance or otherwise.

d) Any attempt to stop unionization means that the offending party loses all ownership stake in the organization and that the union gets first dibs in owning it (senior most union with the org if more than one union was supprsed) and anything not sold the union is sold for reasonable value by the government ont he open market.

e) The government shall provide a secret ballot platform which will allow people to join a union with ease, and the question will be asked every single year until at least 90% of the employees of the organization or endeveor are unionized.

f) Attempts to circumvent this law in anyway makes those found guilty ineligle to start a business or financial endevor for no less than 20 years.

g) Every year, members of the union will vote on whether or not the union is representing them. If the majority vote no, a new union is to replace it as organized by members of that union and no one else.

Full stop, do not collect $200, do not pass go.

4) The populace at large determines what rights are; and there are some kinds of rights that are considered economic rights if the civilisation is right enough to afford them.

a) The Right to Housing

b) The Right to Food and Water

c) The Right to the Internet

d) The Right to Education

e) The Right to Transportation

f) The Right to Medical Care

If the government or civilization can afford being able to provide these things (or future things that a majority of the population deems reasonable) then it must be free for at least 90% of the population.

Every year, the population gets to vote on whether or not they feel these rights are being met. If they are not met, the government must come up with a plan to meet those needs. If not voted for positively in the next year, everyone in government who has been involved with solving the issue is out of office and a new government must be elected. Those who failed to meet these needs are not eligible for reelection until the issue is solved for that issue.

Anyone attempting to interfere with this politically, especially for economic gain or to promote stratification shall be disallowed from owning or participating in ownership of money generating enterprises; ESPECIALLY managing or owning property for rental purposes; commerically or residential.

5) Taxation or Wage Slavery is only allowed by the Government. A private individual or organization must have a liscence from the government to have an organziation that charges time tax in the form of wages; recognizing that coercion is the full monopoly of the government and that to have this ability leased or deligated from the government requires permission and continous (ideally annual) renewal and that the business or organization doing so is in risk of having its charter removed if it attempts to politically influence the populace away from its economic freedoms IN ANY WAY.

The population will vote annually on the effectiveness of this provision. If it fails, everyone in government involved in enforcing this provision is removed and not eligible for reelection until the issue is solved.

Full stop, do not collect $200, do not pass go.

6) Any wealth disparity of more than 2000 times the lowest member of society is absolutely disallowed. Anyone who has an anual income of a Billion dollars, when the lowest earning citizen only has an income of $30000 a year will result in the seizure of assets from said person. Furthermore, transfer of assets from the jurisdiction of the government to avoid this penaly AT ANY TIME is to be considered a violation thereof. Stripping jobs from America to another country because you want to continue to be a robber baron or a slum lord means that you forfit your right to own property in the United States of America.

TLDR You do NOT have a right to be rich at the expense of others. Climate Change and Fascism in America have proven that insufficentl regulated capitalism are a threat to the people at large or even for the state to exist and function. It must be stopped. It can be stopped and that includes limiting the "rights" of those who choose to own or inherit property of a sufficent caliber to influence the opinion of the people at large.
