In recent years, sovereign democracy has become a key ideological tenet in Russian politics and society. As the ideology for the party in power - United Russia - sovereignty is perceived as a precondition for democracy. In my recent report on the state of democracy in Russia, Ryssland - en suverän demokrati? (Russia - a sovereign democracy?), this theme is addressed from the perspective of constitutionality and funtionality, to ascertain whether Russia's specific model of democracy has any essence.In current Russia, the political elite has chosen the path of sovereign democracy. The argument goes as follows: The precondition for democracy is sovereignty in terms of state capacity. Without the capacity to rule oneself, no real democracy can exist.

(Archived in: Personal Privacy Sovereign Rights)I wanted to post that The Sovereign Journey is no longer frequently updated for the simple fact that there is not enough interest or feedback for this blog. Here is some advice to those of you that may be new to blogging. "Don't flog your dead horses". This includes beating a dead or dying blog.This blog will remain in the blogosphere with infrequent posts, as I find things of interest to pass along. It may be that "We the People" do not seriously consider the eroding of our personal sovereignty, or it could be there is a sense of apathy, possibly even there is a numbness to the obvious.This blog was never intended to be of a political bent. In fact, if anything I consider myself to be apolitical. My belief is that any form of government can become a tyranny. However, as a platform to alert others of what I see playing out on the world stage, it is hard not to be viewed as attempting to politicize issues that can be polarizing.Today I p

No surprise here. Late Monday night the Financial Times (UK) reported: State-owned sovereign wealth funds are beginning to diversify their investments into commodities, potentially having a significant impact on international raw material prices because of their immense resources. Sovereign wealth funds, or SWFs, are investment vehicles backed by governments in the Middle East, China, Russia, and elsewhere. According to The Times (UK) from October 28: Sovereign funds have been around since 1953, when the Kuwait Investment Authority (KIA) was established to benefit future generations of Kuwaitis when the oil stopped flowing. But it is only since the turn of the millennium that the power of sovereign funds has mushroomed. The rising price of oil and gas has prompted Middle East countries to look for new ways to invest their piles of cash. Russia has money to spare as energy prices have soared. At the same time, funds in Singapore, and more particularly China, have been boosted by income

Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory (2 Tim 2:10).Paul has said something remarkably striking: he endures all things for the sake of those chosen by God. Here we catch a glimpse into the relationship between Divine Sovereignty and human responsibility. Paul believes that God chooses, but he also endures all things! How can this be? If God has chosen, then what difference can Paul make? His answer: God’s sovereignty in salvation and human actions are not at odds. Paul perhaps feels this tension, but he does not feel a contradiction. For him, the fact that God has chosen does not hinder his evangelism and sense of missions. Paul does not endure all things for the elect in spite of the fact that God has chosen. He endures all things for the elect on the basis of his confidence that God has chosen! In the same breath, Paul can say that Salvation is ultimately God’s doing and at the sa

(Archived in: Personal Freedom Personal Privacy)The argument is always the same. What are you worried about if you don't have anything to hide? The push for a National ID and no debate for such should now be of concern to every law abiding individual.It makes no sense that a government be so concerned about documenting and tracking its own citizens when the issue of open boarders, illegal aliens, guest workers (or whatever you want to call the estimated 12 to 20 million undocumented people living in this country) has not first been remedied. What has happened to of the people, by the people, for the people?All people, whether sovereign thinkers or not, need to start asking what the hidden agenda of this government is, and why such pretentious laws are being forced on a nation without debate or a forum of those being governed.We do not need a national "Real ID" when passports can and do represent the de facto national ID, and the Homeland is not yet the Fatherland.Living The Sovereig

One aspect regarding the cost is the time that is devoted to the process. New concepts in learning abound on the Internet, and the computer has aided in the idea of "Distance Learning".

Grenada is no longer an option for a second passport through an Economic Citizenship Program.Grenada terminated its Economic Citizenship program as of October 24, 2001. This was probably one of the more lenient programs with respect to the relatively low investment involved and the relaxed residency requirements. In fact there were no residency requirements.I know one immigration expert from Canada that was a consultant to the government of Grenada on the formation of this program, but was unaware of its demise. It was not widely reported in the media.The speculation is the program was a casualty due to 9-11 under pressure from the US. Not much was found on a recent Internet search that I did, except this announcement on a non-government website, and this notice at the Escape Artist Notice.It is very unlikely that the program will ever be resumed.Living

(Archived in: Sovereign Life )We now live in a world with a global economy that threatens borders and the nation-state model. Governments in general would prefer not to lose control of their borders and their citizens to more personal freedoms and the fundamental concepts of a "Sovereign Life".Indeed, through social engineering the major premises of government include the protection of citizens, the providing of economic stability, the guarantee of certain civil services and the never ending promise of various entitlements, all in direct exchange for a national identity and a certain kind of servitude from the people to the government.It really does not matter whether the model is communism, socialism, democracy, or any other form of government. The major purpose of any government is to continually increase the size of bureaucracy and control its citizenry. History seems to bear out that this also is the eventual demise of all governments.David MacGregor and his website "Sovereign Life

O You who hear prayer, To You all men come. (Psalm 65:2)What an incomprehensible thought. The Lord hears our prayers. I'm constantly amazed at the nature of answered prayer. Needless to say, it is often not what I expect. Sometimes, I am convinced that this certain thing would be the best course of action; This is how God will get the most glory. If this happens, then I can say that God has answered my prayer.How little faith I have. As if only crisis averted safeguards God's "sovereign" reputation. I fail to see that oftentimes God answers prayer in the persevering and in the recovery. When the fateful news comes, the Christian trusts in his prayer-hearing God. When the operation begins, the Christian clings to the one who has heard his plea for mercy. When the believer makes his way through recovery, he leans upon his Lord, the one who listens to his supplications. Whether he lives or dies; whether he relapses or recovers; whether he is bed-ridden for weeks or walks the halls the d

(Archived in: Sovereign Rights Related Miscellany Offshore Banking)The mere mention of the words, "Tax Haven" and "Offshore Banking" immediately conjure up thoughts of fraud, money laundering, illicit drug trafficking, and with more recent events, terrorist activities.However, there is another more legitimate side to the offshore banking coin. In reality, anyone who does banking outside of their domicile is "Banking Offshore". So, for instance, if you are a Canadian with a U.S. bank account, this would be considered offshore banking.Offshore banking is considered shady in the U.S., probably because the general public does not understand what it is and how offshore banking works. Oddly enough, U.S. citizens are happily mislead to believe that banking anywhere outside the country is an unsafe practice. Additionally, the government does not like to see investment capital leaving the country.Another reason for this is that foreign banks are prohibited from advertising and marketing their p
