Judges are a part of the Judicial branch of the government. Our system is a representative republic, not a democracy. -- Some of the Republican positions I find disgusting and abhorrent. Most of the Democratic positions I find terrifying, especially those proposed by His Imperial Majesty Emperor OBastard. Any day now I expect some liberal to demand a government guaranteed above average income for every person. Every illegal alien is a criminal. No amnesty or work permit under any name or for any reason. Deportation upon identification as the only option. If you must text and drive please kill yourself quickly before you run into me.

Usually the administration of the nation is divided into three branches: - legislation - jurisdiction - executive branch The government is the head of the executive branch. This is usually called Prime minister and ministers. The laws are made by the legislative branch, which is the actual law giver. This is composed from the elected representative. Their congregation is usually called 'Parliament' or something equivalent. The branch, that applies these laws is jurisdiction. But they do not make laws, because they are not elected. This is more or less the system of democracies and republics. But the US system seem to be quite different and does not fall in any known category. So who actually makes the laws in the USA, if there is no parliament? TH

All democracies practise some form of separation of powers, but the extent to which the judicative branch influences the implementation of the law can and does differ. For that matter, the German constitutional court (Bundesverfassungsgericht) does deliver verdicts which have legislative force.

Although devoid of any skill in managing the nation, these American royalty Kings and Queens have powers.... powers to fuck up the society and the economy. Another potential candidate is Trumpidiot if he is elected.

Theoretically. In practice, the court chooses which cases to hear and which issues to deal with. So if the court, for whatever reason, decides not to take on a specific case, then the government is free to do whatever they want in this matter, whether it is constitutional or not. > >>> But the US system seem to be quite different and does not fall in any >>> known category. >> >> Sure it does.

What century do you live in? We do have a queen. Her formal role is even more restricted than that of the German president (although, due to her very long tenure, she has rather more private influence than Gauck). The guilds do still exist, but they are quite irrelevant in modern life. They operate like any other trade association and have no formal powers ... unlike in Germany, where an Innung has quite considerable influence over its trade and profession. In other words, the British carpenters' guild (if such a thing actual exists, it does not for many professions) has no say whatsoever in who may or may not open and run a carpentry workshop -- but just you try to own and operate a Schreinerwerkstatt in Germany without the proper approval and paperwork and Meistertitel. As for the allegedly parasitic life-form of the aristocracy, they have been politically neutered by the reforms of the House of Lords and economically eviscerated by high taxation and inheritance duties. Most British aristocrats live and work just like everyone else ... and those that still sit in their family castles and stately homes work twice as hard. When you have annual heating bills of several hundred thousand and when a new roof can easily set you back a million or so, there's not much left over for the playboy lifestyle...

Actually I have participated too long in the UseNet group 'alt.conspiracy'.
So I always try to figure out, who are the 'bad guys'.
My latest hypothesis: the 'Livery Companies' of the City of London (aka
'guilds').

English aristocracy is not symbolic, but real. As far as I understand the system, there are ranks and files in a formal organisation, which are 'mirrored' by the social status of a person in the real world. This is valid for every single person in public view (musicians, actors, writers, publishers, sportsmen, politicians, tv-show moderators, military personal, company leaders and so forth). So the ritual promotion is such kind of sect is mirrored by a promotion in the society. But the status in the society is real (not "symbolic"). This system apparently spreads out around the globe and includes members of other nations. Those would actually comply with an alien nation and commit a crime against their own constitution' But - on the other hand - it is so NICE to become knighted and the Queen is soooo friendly. TH

Most of them. The President is both the Queen and the Prime Minister. And we most definitely have our aristocracy; we call them the 1%. This "Guilds" thing I don't know, but the legislative branch, the executive, and the Fed run the economy. -- JD Men rarely (if ever) manage to dream up a God superior to themselves. Most Gods have the manners and morals of a spoiled child.

Not for a long time now. Guilds operated in Corporate towns such as the City of London and the City of York. Their golden age was in the medieval period. The York Merchant Taylors Guild for example has a magnificent medieval Guildhall one of the gems of York now open to the public. The Merchant Aventurers Hall is even more splendid and was built in the 14th C I once attended a banquet in there underneath the magnificent oak framed roof http://www.theyorkcompany.co.uk/ These Guilds controlled all aspect of their trade within the jurisdiction of the town and its member dominated the town corporations but as I say all that was swept away long ago though some remnants remain >>> The have also a set of parasitic life-forms, they call 'aristocracy'. Not so much parasitic these days, not since the inheritance tax swept away a lot of their wealth.

These corporations are the large companies, which practically own the country. They act under the control of some unknown entity, since they usually behave coordinated. They seem to practise an authoritarian kind of (right winged) socialism. The behaviour is quite anti-capitalistic, but a strange form of collectivism. These collectives are organised in vertical steps, which build a vast superstructure of interlocked organisations. At the top of this ice-berg we find the Queen of England. A few levels lower we find the guilds of the city of London and remains of colonial guilds, like the Virginia Company or the East India Company. How this system work in detail, that is not known, at least not for me. But the City of London does still exist today. Also the guild exist today and still control the economy of their realm. As far as I know, they are called 'Livery Companies'. TH
