The Conspiracy Options

[Intestinal Chaos]

"(in responce to people who keep messaging me "conspiracies arn't real, there only on TV shows, I will now get on my soap box and rant, I apolgize for the terseness but im pissed.)
So there no conspiracies are there??

There are only 10 media companies in the world that own WOLRD WIDE over 95% of all television, cable, movies industery, video games,books and news papers. AOL/time warner,G.E.,ViaCom,Walt Disney company,Liberty Media corp,AT&T,News Corp,Bertelsmann,VIVENDI Universal, and sony. Take a look at what they own!! (http://www.thenation.com/special/bigten.html)
They are all deeply involved also in the military industerial complexe, pharmaceutical and oil conglomerates. There is NO LIBERAL or CONSERVATIVE BIAS in the media ultimately, there is only a GLOBALIST AGENDA. In America for instance the Democrats and the Republicans can point the finger at each other all day long, the truth is, there both selling you up the river! Mean while as we argue over abortion rights and if gay people should marry or not, there burning the constitution,spending your social security money and making plans for more wars. Think those 2 hot spots will mean anything when the USA goes broke and turns into a dictatorship?!?! WAKE UP! Pro choice/life, Pro Gay or not, we are all going to be shipped to prison camps if this doesnt stop now. If you think that your being told the truth about 911, terrorism, electorial process, trade agreements, how people really feel about something, law or anything else, you are living in a dream world. Our leaders in the world are not elected, they are selected. It is the media who stands to gain the most from our fear, as we scamble like cowards to give up our rights just to be safe (they have all those weapons of war to sell us, all those chips to inplant in us, so we can all be safe). And who does the Media serve? Corperate intrests, that is to say there fat piggy wigglely selves. Turn off the TV and fight for Media reform and demonoplization. The media is ment to educate the masses to make informed decisions to live in a democracy. Yet now they are there instead to manufacture our concent. That spells the end of freedom and the beginning of the darkest facist nightmare this world has ever seen if its not stopped soon.
So remember No matter how many people repeat a Lie, its still a dirty stinking filthy Lie. The truth isnt going to come to you through a corperate owned Media. Search for the truth yourself and it will set you free." -TSHansen

I can only think of a single type of government that could be "foolproof" against conspiracies like that. It would be far from perfect, but it would be harder to corrupt. I'd have made a new thread for this, but it seems to fit into this one, since it is kind of a "partial solution" to the problem.
A large portion of this idea came from Robert Heinlein's book, For Us, THe Living. A lot of the rest is modified U.S. government.
Here is the fundamentals of the government idea.

A. Elections are held to choose leaders. These leaders do not have "power" exactly, they are charged with carrying out the wishes of the public.
B. All issues such as laws are voted upon by all citizens in the area that will be effected by the law. For example, if the city of Jamestown is trying to outlaw certain drugs inside the city boundaries, all citizens vote on the issus. It is a simple majority wins situation, and inthe case of a tie, a revore is cast.
C. A citizen is defined as anyone who has lived in the country for a certain period of time (5 years or so) who is capable of comprehending issues that will be voted upon. A test is administered every so often (once a year or whatever) to determine if a person can qualify for citizenship. To take the test, one must be able to read and speak the language the test will be administered in (varies from nation to nation) and have lived in the counrty for 5 years.
D. Leaders are voted upon by all people in the area the leader will be leading. For example, all citizens of a nation vote on national leaders, only those who live in a particular state or province or whatever will vote on those leaders, then down to county, city-area, town, ect...
E. Judicial officials are also voted for by all the citizens in the area that they will have authority in.
F. Elections occur once a year.
G. War- In the case of deciding upon intervention in another war (this is not applied in the case of someone else attacking) a vote is called for. Only people eligible for the draft but not currently serving in the military are allowed to vote.
H. Life is divided into "private sphere" and "public sphere." Private sphere is the kind of thing that can be classified as None Of Your Business. This is pretty much anything you do in your life that has no bearing on other people's lives. (Ex, love life, hobbies, ect..) This may not be included in news stories without your permission. Private sphere doesn't apply in the case of law breaking. Public sphere is the kind of thing that news reports on. This includes any laws you break, anything your company is doing, ect....
I. Once every so often (can vary as needed) voting on all issues brought before a community. (This will be most efficient if done over the internet) Anyone in the community can bring an issue before the community. If one does not vote in a certain period of time, their vote is not counted.

This will make people be more active in their communities, and will, I believe, be a much harder government to corrupt.
