I recently watched Daniela Cambone’s interview with G. Edward Griffin, the author of the book The Creature from Jekyll Island. In the interview, he made several connections that I had learned for myself before encountering his assessment.
He exposed the duality of Communism and Nazism, showing that in practical terms, they are identical. I had previously come to the same conclusion, that they are two heads of the same beast.
I had also associated it with Lenin’s pamphlet on Bolshevism, One Step Forward, Two Steps Backward, in which he describes his Progressive Movement as consisting of controlled opposition.
I had never heard anyone else arrive at these same inferences until watching this interview with G. Edward Griffin. I highly recommend it, you can watch it here:
We can take this further by analyzing and discovering how the American political system became corrupted, and how to reverse the corruption.
The modern American political system originates with the French Revolution, not the American one. The political spectrum of ideology to divide the people against each other is used universally in Communist revolutions.
This has led me to investigate what the modern party system replaced. I have asked around, and even the most seasoned Republicans have no memory of any other system of elections than the one gatekept by partisan primaries and popular vote general elections for every office. This is because the partisan direct primary was glued on to Utah’s ‘s caucus convention system in 1934 as part of the progressive Movement. I asked Senator Mike Lee about this and he had no awareness of it.
I live in Utah and I regularly participate in the Republican party’s caucus system and have been elected multiple times as a delegate. In this process, and as a computer scientist with the graduate degree, I have debated my peers on the subject of election methods, analyzing them for fairness in representation. This led me to the stunning conclusion that the two-party system of today is a natural outgrowth of the 12th Amendment, which installed plurality or first-past-the-post voting, eliminating the more approval-centric method mandated in the Constitution’s original electoral college.
I’ve created a website for this at ConstitutionalVote.org.
I recently witnessed a major bait and switch in an election in my state. The governor’s election, the United States Senate election, and the attorney General election in 2024 in Utah involved a signature gathering nominating petition that displaced the grassroots convention. This process and ended up substituting a more Democrat-leaning candidate in the place of the Republican nominee. The Republican nominee didn’t even end up with his name on the November ballot, but ran the most successful statewide write-in candidate campaign in US history.
In that process, he petitioned the Utah courts and ultimately the Supreme Court of the United States because of irregularities in the signature gathering process, and systematic unfairness in the State’s interference in the partisan nominating process. I read his entire petition. This led me to uncover what the party system replaced. What I found is that elections in America today exactly mirror the false government described in George Orwell’s Animal Farm.
The Supreme Court even agreed that if you change the election method, you change the kind of candidate that gets elected. It took me finally speaking with a more Democrat leaning voter in my state to realize the importance of the fact that the Constitution originally mandated different election methods. This acted as a check on government.
They were delegated elections for the offices of President and vice president, legislative elections for the Senate, and popular vote elections for House Representatives. I refer to these three election methods as the red, white, and blue elections. The Founding Fathers intentionally diversified the methods of representation for the various offices of government, so that rival ambitions would be made to counteract each other as one of the more effective checks against tyranny. The reasons for these different methods are outlined in Federalist numbers 10, 62, and 68.
In practice, what does this mean?
It means we have a uniparty in control.
All of the election methods have been homogenized.
Republicans generally feared national popular vote, but through bound elector laws and the majority of states, practically speaking, we already have national popular vote.
Without legislative elections for the Senate, bicameralism loses its meaning. Senators are merely House Representatives with a longer term and slightly different responsibilities.
One of the greatest myths taught in public schools is that separation of powers by itself guarantees checks and balances. This is like saying that a gang of bank robbers is guaranteed not to rob a bank merely because they have selected one member to be the safe cracker, another to act as a lookout, and a third to be the getaway car driver.
True structural checks and balances are missing, and they have been missing for generations.
This is why no matter who we vote for, communism and fascism continue to be installed, taxes increase, and the unaccountability of government soars to new levels.
The Supreme Court agreed that a party does not have a right to have its endorsement printed on government ballots, but still managed to excuse it by framing it as a quid pro quo delegation of power. Political parties properly wield no more authority in elections than your local tennis club, yet they are given free advertising space on government ballots, courtesy of taxpayers. This literally meets the definition of criminal electioneering, where candidates are advertised at a polling place.
This fulfills Orwell’s warning that “some animals are more equal than others”.
Practically speaking, every elected official at the State and national level is a democrat with a lowercase d. Democratic elections are the easiest to game through political advertising and bottomless campaign spending. You can see easily how this connects with the Federal Reserve and the welfare state, where politicians are essentially buying votes through their campaign promises.
Americans are not meant to be Republicans versus Democrats. All Americans are meant to be both democrats AND republicans (lowercase d, lowercase r), through our participation in both kinds of elections. In reality, there is no contest between true democracy and true republicanism. What the party system did is it removed the checks and balances from off of government and placed them on the people, limiting our representation in government and gatekeeping it through the national parties.
And there you have the Leninist dialectic.
The controlled opposition he bragged about through communism and fascism is embodied in the American party system.
It gets even worse. It is not limited to a two-party system, but includes the Hegelian blend that spawns a third party using the fallout when it has arrived at the endgame. Nayib Bukele implemented exactly this strategy in El Salvador to usurp the sole management of government under a single party, which meets the the condition of tyranny described in Federalist number 47. Donald Trump has openly declared his intent to follow this strategy, as has the third party sponsor Elon Musk. The notion that they are not allied across this three-party system is a myth held to by the ignorant and desperate.
I am currently running for the Senate in my state, on a platform of returning to the constitutional system of checks and balances and removing party endorsements and other partisan machinery from elections and the legislative process. My model is simply our forgotten Constitution.
I have been writing and making videos for a while now on my YouTube channel on this subject (YouTube.com/@TruthFromEarth).
There is a very noteworthy spiritual component to this as well, which directly indicates that every human being is empowered to stop the Communist fascist dialectic before it can get into office, and to roll it back when it has taken over.
The doctrine of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teaches that Lucifer during the war in heaven– the first election we know of– made a proposal claiming to ensure the salvation of all mankind. The doctrine says that Lucifer tried to destroy our agency, which is freedom. Latter-Day Saint Doctrine also teaches the duality of agency and accountability. Competing theories suggest that he either proposed to force us to be good, or to erase the consequences of sin. However, consistency with doctrine and everyday experience reveal that he uses both methods.
There is a self-repeating nature to it as well, which lends itself naturally to third parties ad infinitum. If the last fake cure didn’t work, there is always a temptation born of desperation to believe that the next one will. This is the partisan politicians system of hollow promises and revenge. If this sounds like the Hydra of Greek mythology and the Creature from Jekyll Island, I don’t believe that to be a coincidence. In short, it is never possible to eradicate communism or fascism by chopping off its heads or by aligning with any of the controlled “opposition” parties. The enemy of your enemy is not your friend, even though an infinite number of schisms can be invented. The fractal pattern of false dichotomies and trichotomies never ends. The devil’s favorite game is darned if you do, darned if you don’t. The only way out is not to play the devil’s game, but instead build a civilization on the basis of truth and virtue.
Communism is based on a promise of do-goodery, embodying false compassion.
Fascism promises security through a police state, embodying false justice. Despite distinct promises, both lead to the same end. They are two heads of the same beast.
The common thread is a refusal to reconcile justice and mercy, which is what the Savior Jesus Christ accomplished through His atonement, and also what our own Divinely inspired Constitution requires.
In other words, the government of the devil denies the atonement of Jesus Christ. It accomplishes this most effectively by forfeiting property rights and defendant rights in the name of some ostensible good that is deliberately blinded to other good following the pattern of temptation in Matthew chapter 4, divorcing truth from truth. Amendments 4 through 8 in the Constitution spell out in law how to love your enemies. Sir Thomas Moore wrote that such safeguards of law are indispensable to our own self-preservation.
In every instance in Scripture where a multi-headed beast is mentioned, it is in reference to an evil empire or kingdom. There are some ancient apocryphal prophecies on this subject as well, warning that the fact of infighting among the heads does not prove that they are virtuous or independent.
I’ve made a video on the subject unpacking this and other prophecies that align very well, including commentary from Joseph Smith that identifies the kingdom in the last days that would oppress and destroy many lives.
The Savior warned Joseph Smith–the first United States presidential candidate to be assassinated–that although we hear of wars in foreign countries, the enemy is combined and is seeking to destroy our lives and overthrow our freedom in the United States of America and to use the fall of America as the springboard to total world domination (Doctrine and Covenants 38:12). This was given in the early to mid-1800s, while the modern party system was forming.
I believe there is an irresistible message of hope in all of this. What I have learned means That we do not have to place our trust in broken systems. We do not have to continue the fruitless process of infighting or assuming good intentions on the part of politicians.
It means we can win the war for the freedom of all nations in the same way that we win the war for the freedom of our own souls: by trusting in and following the Savior, Jesus Christ, not strawmanning our opponents and never giving into the lie that justice and mercy cannot be reconciled.
Our Constitution reconciles them, the Scriptures reconcile them, the prophets reconcile them, and we are forgetting the very means, purposes, and benefits of Union. United we stand, divided we fall.
We are in fact not powerless.
The party system is a parasite. It cannot survive on its own. It will wither and die if we stop feeding it, just like the creature from Jekyll Island.
