This book spotlights the dangers republics bring to world societies. Far
from being models for their values extolled as freedom, individualism,
and rule of the law, contemporary republics are demonstrated to be as
many oligarchies dominating defenseless and unorganized people.
Is freedom, just like rule of the law, a luxury or a public good that
everyone can enjoy? Are individualized people more or less likely to
participate in political activity? Who is actually exercising sovereignty
when "people's representatives" preferably serve the interests of their
corruptors? Well known, falsely obvious responses do not satisfy many
other similar questions about republicanism.
The book shows how aristocracies perpetuate traditions of shadow
rule and string pulling behind republican leaders, councils, and
political regroupings. Their ruling members implement secret oaths
and evil philosophies, impoverishing societies and steering countries
into wars, terrorism, and mass destructions. Analysis of the Order of
Skull and Bones, with offshoots such as both Bush presidents, shows
how and why aristocratic secret fraternities produce political and
business devils.
Finding ways to democratizing the exercise of sovereignty may be a
necessity, not a question of choice.
