This is an excellent 10 minute video that covers the various forms of government.  If you view it, you will certainly see parallels with what is happening today.

One word not covered in the above video is the word “cabal”.

According to Wikipedia, a cabal is defined (in part) as:

…Cabals are sometimes secret societies composed of a few designing persons, and at other times are manifestations of emergent behavior in society or governance on the part of a community of persons who have well established public affiliation or kinship. The term can also be used to refer to the designs of such persons or to the practical consequences of their emergent behavior, and also holds a general meaning of intrigue and conspiracy. The use of this term usually carries strong connotations of shadowy corners, back rooms and insidious influence….

While the video does not mention the word “cabal”, certainly that is in effect in today’s world. You can learn more about what is behind the scenes by reading the free book available at this site. More information can be gleaned from The White Hats Report. Of course, World Net Daily and Infowars, as well as Prison Planet, also report a lot of information not covered by the mainstream media.

The mainstream media stays away from reports discussing the cabal.  It also consistently talks of “democracy”.  The United States of America is not a democracy, but a Republic.   The founding fathers did not want a democracy.

Why the confusion exists is pointed out in this statement:

Actually, the United States is a mixture of the two systems of government (Republican under Common Law, and democratic under statutory law). The People enjoy their God-given natural rights in the Republic. In a democracy, the Citizens enjoy only government granted privileges (also known as civil rights).

There is much going on in this election cycle, which is not a normal election cycle, but certainly the greatest outcome is which direction the United States of America will move…whether back to a Republic or to the even increasing vice grip of a democracy-oligarchy-cabal.
