Jack Posobiec spoke at the CPAC event in Hungary and brought up the problem of "civil society" programs in western nations, specifically in the US where for the past four years of the Biden administration no one really knew who was running the country.
"We were not sure exactly who was the president of the United States the last four years because we were told that it was Joe Biden. And it turns out that his brain was not quite capable all the time and instead he was using this auto pen to sign his documents and we're not entirely sure who was in control of the auto pen," Posobiec said.
"So to take a classic phrase and turn it around, instead of having the government of the people, by the people and for the people, we had the government of the pen, by the pen, and for the pen."
"What's your finding of the essence of the Democrat way of governance and the NGOs so called civil society behind it, which obviously, in brackets, has nothing to do with real civil society," he was asked.
"This is the George Soros style of government," Posobiec responded, "where when they say it's an open society what thy actually mean is that it's open for the bureaucrats and the plutocrats and the technocrats, and it is open to all manner of special interests other than the actual people of the nation itself.
"Because it serves NGOs, it serves the Soros level, it serves the bureaucracy level, the special interests, the corporate level, the multinationals, but it doesn't serve the people. When you have these governments, like the one that we just experienced in the United States for four years, this was not government of the people.
"So of course," Posobiec continued, "this raises many questions for democracy, who is actually representing the people, who has been elected by them, who has been empowered by them. Sovereign rights of the leader should derive from the people in a democracy. This is the basic philosophy of a democratic government.
"However, if that sovereignty instead is given away to the courts, as we've seen in the United States, academia, unelected experts, unelected bureaucracy, well then you don't have a democracy at all anymore: what you have is an oligarch."
Posobiec noted further that this system "of the pen, by the pen, and for the pen" is not just a concern in the United States. "We see this across Europe as well, in many—not this country, by the way—but in many countries in Western Europe, you see the exact same problem, where they change chancellors, or they change prime ministers, but the policies don't change."
