The Cynical Patriot is Don Mashak
He has submitted 2 articles to Wikipedia 1) Frank Donner 2) Sovereign Citizens
Wikipedia chose to delete my Sovereign Citizens entry saying is was covered by SOVEREIGN CITIZENSHIP MOVEMENT. I adamantly disagree.
That Sovereign Citizenship Movement article points to the beginning of the this Sovereign citizenship movement beginning the Posse Commitatus in 1969. For the record I have never been a member of the Posse Commitatus nor any other radical militia.
My understanding of Sovereign Citizenship comes from my personal US Public School teaching in High School Civics and Collegiate Coursework, not to mention my independent research.
I pointed out to Wikipedia a speech by Ronald Reagan from 1964 using the term "Sovereign People" and Wikipedia failed to address that issue, insisting that the Posse Comitatus was the first inception of Sovereign Citizenship term. Find Reagan's relevant thoughts at 2:59-6:25M [1]
In the past 60 days I have provided 2-3 lawsuit cites regarding Sovereign Citizenship and some revolutionary era quotes which have apparently gone without response. These pre-date the Posse Comatatus and Ronald Reagans Speech, in some cases by a century or more.[2]
I assert my belief that Wikipedia is not an unbiased source of information but rather a clandestine group of liberal / socialist individuals trying to rewrite history towards their own political ends.
The folks at Wikipedia seem to have unilaterally rejected "Natural Law" which was born in and of the Enlightenment In so doing, Wikipedia seems to have rejected the "The Enlightenment" in favor of the "Dumbing Down" of Society through calculated revisions of history.
The Declaration of Independence containing the phrase "consent of the Governed" and US constitution and Bill of Rights were written out of the then radical ideas of the Enlightenment. One of the major paradigm thought shifts of the Enlightenment had to do with the relationship of Citizens and Government. We went from the prevailing paradigm in Europe of "Divine Right of Kings" to "Consent of the Governed" The most famous and influential of these was John Locke, who wrote: “Men being … by nature, all free, equal, and independent, no one can be … subjected to the political power of another, without his own consent. The only way whereby any one divests himself of his natural liberty, and puts on the bonds of civil society, is by agreeing with other men to join and unite into a community for their comfortable, safe, and peaceable living one amongst another" [3]
The USA is a Representative Republic not a Democracy. In a Representative Republic certain rights of the Individual are protected from the Mob rule of a Democracy. In the USA, Sovereignty is vested in the individual citizens. At least that is what I was taught in High School Civics and College here in the USA. Unless these Wikipedia folks are American's or were not taught in typical American Public Schools of the 1950's to 1970's, they have no explanation other than deliberately trying to rewrite history and the original Government constructs of Founding Fathers.
In summary, Wikipedia appears to wants to promote a socialist agenda by rewriting history that conflicts with its socialist agenda. And hence, a contribution to Wikipedia is a contribution to its socialist agenda. I urge you not to contribute to Wikipedia.
And, if you want a accurate, unbiased, non-American hating source of information I strongly suggest you find another source of information besides Wikipedia. Wikipedia seems to dislike any representation that our Founding Fathers intended the real power to be vested in the Citizens and not the politicians. They have never provided an explanation of why our politicians are supposed to be referred to as "Public Servants".
I would further ask of Wikipedia to change its name to "Wikipediak" to disclose it function as an apparatchik of the socialist/communist RealPolitik [4]
I don't think I will be making any more contributions to Wikipedia out of concern for giving them credibility. Further, they seem to have a bunch of academic types who take pleasure in skewering those of us who have to work for a living and cannot invest the time in contributions those those living on a trust fund or the Government dole can. (Unless, of course, you cater to their political goals.)
Those were my thoughts.
