For the benefit of the people - vs - It’s Important for “Our Democracy”

You’ve heard the phrase a hundred times. Anchors on dozens of stations repeat it word for word, as if reading from the same script: “It’s important for our democracy.”

At first, it sounds harmless—even noble. But pause. Whose democracy are they talking about?

A Coded Signal, Not a Shared Value

This is not an appeal to unity. It’s a signal. A phrase carefully chosen, repeated in unison, like a chant. When they say “our democracy” they do not mean we the people. They mean theirs. A closed circle of institutions, networks, and handlers who feed the same lines to stations across the country.

It is a password—one that affirms loyalty to the system, not to you. It sounds inclusive, but it quietly excludes. It places them above, as the guardians of what is “important.” Meanwhile, the people watching are meant to nod along, never questioning who defined the terms.

Division by Design

Democracy, in practice, rarely means harmony. It often means two sides locked in endless combat, neither winning, both distracted. The very structure sets man against man, woman against woman—neighbors pitted against neighbors while the scriptwriters remain untouched.

This is why the chant is so dangerous. It keeps us thinking the system is ours, when it is not. It directs loyalty away from natural law and self-governance, and toward institutions that profit from confusion and division.

The Real “Our”

The truth is simpler. The real our is not in their studios or think tanks. The real our is in kitchens, barns, gardens, prayer circles, assemblies, and town halls where men and women meet face to face. The real our lives in those willing to breathe deeply, drink pure water, nourish themselves wisely, move with purpose, cleanse what no longer serves, rest when needed, and extend a hand of service beyond themselves.

That is self-governance. That is where sovereignty begins—within the individual and then shared in fellowship.

A Call to Remember

So the next time you hear “It’s important for our democracy,” recognize it for what it is: a coded message that does not include you.

And instead of nodding along, let it remind you of the greater work at hand—organizing ourselves, reclaiming responsibility, and restoring true order not by their scripts, but by our living example.

The Roots of the Word

• Greek origin: dēmos (δήμος) means “people,” and kratos (κράτος) means “power” or “rule.” So, demokratia meant “rule of the people.”

• In practice, however, “rule of the people” often became “rule of the majority,” which pits one side against another, creating the very division you mentioned.

A Play on the Sounds

When you hear democracy as “demon-crazy,” that’s not the etymology, but it is a kind of phonetic or symbolic breakdown people use to point out the chaos that can come when mob rule or media-driven manipulation replaces genuine self-governance.

A Deeper Reflection

The original idea was collective stewardship. But over time, it has often become a stage for controlled opposition: two sides locked in battle, while the same unseen hands hold the script. When we see identical news anchors repeating the same words across different cities, it reveals that the “two sides” are really fed from the same source.

The real question becomes:

• Is democracy truly “rule of the people”?

• Or has it shifted into rule over the people by those who write the scripts?

Let it be known: we are no longer fooled by their coded chants. The time has come to stand on scripture, to enforce our Father’s will—not through empty ballots or scripted broadcasts, but through the living strength of we the people. By the people. For the benefit of the people. This is not their democracy. This is our inheritance, and we are ready to claim it.
