American Oligarchy

Let’s first begin with some definitions (dictionary.com).

An oligarch is one of the select few people who rule or influence leaders in an oligarch government in which power is held by a select few individuals or a small class of powerful people. Oligarchs can be the actual leaders, or they can influence or control the decisions that the leaders make (meaning they’re the ones pulling the strings behind the scenes).

An oligarchy which is never used as an official term for a form of government (like monarchy is for example), it’s almost always applied as a criticism of such situations. It is frequently used as a way of pointing out the influence of the wealthy and powerful in politics and government, an influence that’s typically used to benefit themselves. Oligarch is, most often, used in the same way.

America has an oligarchy of its own

Oligarch came into common use after the fall of the old Soviet Union to describe those that had come to economic and political power in Russia. It is generally not used as a complimentary description of those in control or power. Heretofore, I have referred to these people in America as the elite corrupt ruling class, corrupt socialist Democrats, corrupt RINOs, corrupt minions, and all the corrupt variations. Sadly, after coming to understand these terms, it is pretty clear that America has an oligarchy of its own. American oligarchs are comprised of the high visibility Marxists in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate, a very high number of the other members of both houses of congress (Democrats, Republicans, and Socialist), the Biden administration, the owners and CEOs of conventional media, the high tech industry, the social media industry, the financial industry, the medical industry, the Deep State bureaucracy, the entertainment industry, and the list goes on. There is no need to publish names, for you already know who they are. In each of the quotations below, you can see where one or more of the oligarchs have infringed on the lives of liberty loving Americans.

"The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny." ~ James Madison

"Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?" ~ Patrick Henry

"It is in the interest of tyrants to reduce the people to ignorance and vice. For they cannot live in any country where virtue and knowledge prevail." ~ Samuel Adams

---

"When a government betrays the people by amassing too much power and becoming tyrannical, the people have no choice but to exercise their original right of self-defense — to fight the government." ~ Alexander Hamilton

"Without freedom of thought, there can be no such thing as wisdom; and no such thing as public liberty without freedom of speech; which is the right of every man as far as by it he does not hurt or control the right of another; and this is the only check it ought to suffer and the only bounds it ought to know.... Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freedom of speech, a thing terrible to traitors." ~ Benjamin Franklin

"When the representative body have lost the confidence of their constituents, when they have notoriously made sale of their most valuable rights, when they have assumed to themselves powers which the people never put into their hands, then indeed their continuing in office becomes dangerous to the state" ~ Thomas Jefferson

"But if the laws are to be so trampled upon with impunity, and a minority is to dictate to the majority, there is an end put at one stroke to republican government, and nothing but anarchy and confusion is to be expected thereafter." ~ George Washington

"Resistance to tyranny becomes the Christian and social duty of each individual… Continue steadfast and, with a proper sense of your dependence on God, nobly defend those rights which heaven gave, and no man ought to take from us." ~ John Hancock

Had we simply heeded the above words of James Madison, Patrick Henry, Samuel Adams, Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and John Hancock, there would be no American oligarchy. The gathering of our Founding Fathers was the single greatest collection of minds in all of human history. They designed a system of government that was nearly perfect and knowingly turned it over to their descendants with all the foibles history had shown humans beings to have, with only the hope that the cycle of history could be broken. Are the oligarchs America’s future? Or will Americans man up and restore the kind of liberty that our Founding Father envisioned? We will likely have an answer in November 2022. Which will it be?
