We all (hopefully) know what a Non-Governmental Organisation or NGO is.
If you don't they are generally general charities, health charities, media outlets or political organisations that "advise" government on areas of special interest. They may be funded entirely by charitable donations, they may be funded by private donations, they may be funded by the UK government, or they may have a mix of any or all of the above.
If you do a Google search for Non-Governmental organisations, you'll get a list of the most lovely and benign organisations going. But you'll not get a list of the most influential NGOs. Not the ones that can click their fingers and watch the government ask how high would you like us to jump.
For instance Oxfam. They work outside the government and take donations from private individuals, but government may fund them in times of crisis to provide aid. They are a foreign company and so are outside the remit of the charities commission. They do however have an arm that campaigns and lobbies/advises government on aid and poverty.
The thing to note is that Oxfam has moved beyond charitable works and providing aid and now invests time and money in political lobbying.
Not just Oxfam, but the RSPCA, RSPB, The Qulilliam Foundation, HopeNot Hate, Common Purpose, etc.
There is a huge strata putting pressure on the government on behalf of special interests, mainly in direct conflict with the democratic will of the people. Just look at Brexit.
Hope Not Hate snapped their fingers and Tommy Robinson was almost instantly removed from Facebook and Instagram. That's quite a lot of influence. Not that they really needed much to Ban Tommy. I just think HNH just provided the excuse.
This is typical of many NGOs, where the political aspect is now a large part of the organisation. In fact there are many NGOs where their remit is "education" and "political lobbying" and "advising government".
I put those attributions in inverted commas, because those labels are not strictly true. There are many NGOs that seem to have an impressive amount of leverage on government and MPs and Civil Servants in Ministerial departments pay an inordinate amount of attention to what they say. They also have an inordinate amount of influence amongst private companies too.
There are many NGOs that are politically active. They produce reports that governments and private companies act upon. It's amazing though how the government and these NGOs work in collusion. For instance an NGO may produce a report that then they use to put pressure onto government and then the government produces some for of legislation to address the "problem" the NGO has highlighted. Totally outside the democratic process: the people didn't ask for the legislation, didn't want it, but it gets pushed through anyway. It is never a part of any manifesto that is voted on, nor do MPs go back to their constituency parties to get a consensus. Just as with Tommy Robinson's banning, the NGOs provide the impetus and the excuse for the actions of government. Action that the public have not asked for.
It's all one jolly circular, anti-democratic club: require the legislation, get an NGO to provide a report providing positive bias, get the media to create positive pressure and then the government enacts legislation. Without ever seeing a manifesto or a democratic vote. Cosy.
However, this influence is outside of the democratic process. Decisions are being made by government based on information and political pressure not from the Demos: the people, but instead organisations outside the democratic sphere. Just as with the EU we have no way of voting these influencers into or out of power.
They are just there, funded by god knows who. The George Soros funded Open Society Foundation (quite an innocuous title) is one such NGO (amongst other George Soros funded NGOs) that has a quite incredible amount of influence due to it's incredible amount of funding. It has influence in government, with newspapers, TV and other media, news outlets and other NGOs. Not just in the UK but across the West.
What they say is taken as gospel and regurgitated almost word-for-word by the media. Any report they publish directly influences rather than advises government.
This outside pressure on government is what is putting the anti-democratic pressure on government.
It's what has changed government policy from Brexit meaning leaving the EU AND the Customs Union AND the Single Market that we were promised before the referendum, to Brexit means a deal, the backstop, and staying in the Customs Union at all costs.
The people didn't ask for a deal. They didn't ask for Brexit to be thwarted by a backstop. They voted for the thing we were promised before the referendum: OUT of the EU, OUT of the Customs Union and OUT of the Single market.
This pressure outside of democracy has to be pushed back. It's the beginning of Fascism. We cannot elect these "influencers" in or out of office. Once a government has been elected, these influencers have 5 years to ply their trade.
Currently that trade is shutting down free speech, shutting down the public's ability to inform other members of the public about the affects of the undue influence these organisations have on our lives.
The pressure and the collusion between Twitter, Facebook, Google, YouTube amongst private media companies and the BBC, Sky and other media outlets the deplatform, un-person, smear and lie, all at the behest of undemocratic Non-Governmental pressure groups has to be resisted on all sides of the political spectrum, before we ALL lose our democratic voices.
This is not a left/right thing, even though the left has been co-opted to do the dirty work of the Fascists.
This is a democracy thing, it's a free speech thing, IT'S A FREEDOM THING!
I believe in the honesty of to Demos, the people, the population. They make more honest and rational decisions than any politician or political activist group.
The Brexit referendum proved the point: that the people wanted out of the globalist anti-democratic EU. They public at large have a great sense of fair play and honesty and they saw the EU as anti-democratic and dishonest.
The public are fast understanding the anti-democratic pressure that is influencing government against their best interests. The public are calling "it" the Elite.
Hopefully they will wake up and realise that the status quo in government has to change in order to effect change. People need to stop voting for the same old political parties that listen intently to the anti-democratic Elitist message. Instead we need to start voting for something new, something untainted by the Elite.
The list of organisations founded or funded by George Soros is staggering, especially when you see how many times they pop up in the media to be quoted, or to front a spokesperson, or have produced a report highlighted by the media. Those few organisations are in the forefront of the anti-democratic process.
