THE THREE INVOCATIONS OF POWER
By Demosthenes Kyriazis
The Power Institutions are well aware that they have no own power, but simply exploit and manage the power of the citizens. They also know that foreign power can never be appropriated and that this Natural Law is the cause of the instability of the systems they manage and exploit.

WHY THE LAWS ARE NOT IMPLEMENTED IN GREECE
By Demosthenes Kyriazis
[....]
In today's representative democracy, citizens know and experience how the Laws are created and applied. They know the immunity that MPs and the «essential rulers" have. They know how much the expenditures has been reduced to MPs, to Parliament, to subsidies to political parties, to government co-workers / advisers, and how much, to pensioners, to wage earners and to workers.
A strong evidence of the above-mentioned irrational and immoral situation is the following: Governors are voting laws and at the same time promise to the citizens that they will not be implemented !!!. This knowledge and experience is what shapes the appreciation and respect of the citizens towards the Laws.

THE BOOMERANG OF THE POLITICAL ESTABLISHMENT
By Demosthenes Kyriazis
The realization of a self-interested, fraudulent and criminal act, which is turned finally against the perpetrator, is called boomerang. The term was originated from the name boomerang of the hunting arc of indigenous Australians. This arc - a rod of great elasticity that is bent by the hunter - after its launching, returns to the launch point, posing a serious danger to the hunter itself. This phenomenon is described in the stochastic wisdom of the Greek people, from the popular saying: "Whoever digs a pit for another man, finally he himself falls in it” .

MANIPULATION AND EMANCIPATION OF YOUNG PEOPLE IN TRUE DEMOCRACY
By Demosthenes Kyriazis
[....] In some cases, the rulers of "progressive democracies" were not limited to cancel the emancipation, but in order to teach the young people to believe and to get used to permanent manipulation; they proceeded to overthrow the process created by the wisdom of Nature. Rather than applying the doctrine: “Manipulation is the vehicle of Emancipation", they apply the doctrine of their own "wisdom": "Early Emancipation is the vehicle of permanent Manipulation." This doctrine can be worded more clearly as follows: "Young people should not be exercised to understand with their own eyes and mind, but to believe the truths of others; to believe in the pink, blue, dark blue, green and red truth ".

THE MONTESQUIEU CRITERION IN THE DIGITAL AGE
By Demosthenes Kyriazis
[....]
The dream of the Humanists, as well as the aspirations of the competent Scientists, was to develop a technology that would provide to all citizens - rich and poor, of upper or elementary education - with functional and economic capability of sending and receiving mass information. Such technology would obviously be appropriate for a democratic regime but inappropriate for an oligarchic one.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND ANCIENT GREEK LOGIC
By Demosthenes Kyriazis.
From the logic of Ancient Greeks to the logic of Algebra of Boole. Over the centuries the simple, understandable and transparent reasoning of Ancient Greeks were degenerated. The reasoning from a 100% logical process that led to knowledge with vehicle the "correct intellect", became an emotional process that, with the vehicle the "right feelings", led to faith; to faith in all kind of power establishment; of political, economic, spiritual, religious power. So the logic changed. From the logic of knowledge, it became the «logic" of faith.

Direct or Representative Democracy?
By Demosthenes Kyriazis
To the above fundamental question has been given answers by many, philosophers, law scientists, politicians, sociologists, even ordinary citizens. Despite the multitude of views, the citizen can hardly have a clear and solid answer. The answers are contradictory and its reliability does not rely on natural laws and simple logic, but it relies on the prestige of that who expresses the answer.

Participation in the exercise of power or struggle against the power?
By Demosthenes Kyriazis
Many people believe that in the present "Democratic Regimes ", is not served the interests of the set of people but is served the interests of the few who, directly or indirectly, exercise the power. This leads to the need for a constant struggle between the class of the few governors and the class of ordinary people who are the being governed ones; leads to conclusion that the struggle between the two classes is a legitimate need.

Do political decisions need rationalism or the citizens� acceptance?
By Demosthenes Kyriazis
[....] The acceptance of political decisions depends on the basic characteristics of the political system and not on those of political leaders and of the citizens, as the majority of people believe. In the Direct Democracies where the major decisions are taken by citizens’ set, maximum acceptance is ensured. But in Representative Democracies where decisions are taken by the majority of delegates how is the acceptance of decisions made? Who are the people responsible for it?

The true Democracy is a vehicle for crisis overrun.
By Demosthenes Kyriazis
The Law of History
"Knowledge of the true facts of the past (history) leads to reliable predictions of the events of the present and of the future." This view is known as the doctrine of the Law of History. One of the great supporters of this doctrine was Thucydides, who wrote the history of the Peloponnesian War with sublime respect for the truth of the events and preached that "The first task of the historian is to seek the truth with persevering perseverance"

Critical Mass and Critical Power of Citizens

[...] Nuclear Physicists and Engineers have developed the technology that ensures the creation of critical mass in matter, while the ancient Greeks have developed the Constitution that ensures the creation of critical power at the Citizens. Through the critical power / mass, the today scientists achieved the denaturation of matter into beneficial energy and the Ancient Greeks achieved the denaturation of matter into ideas and values.

From the distribution of goods, in the distribution of tax burdens
By Demosthenes Kyriazis.
|
[...] Tackling dangerous situations such as the "fair distribution of tax burdens instead of goods”, requires the revival of the regime of “The ruling and ruled Citizen”. It requires the rational allocation of power, to the citizens themselves and to their representatives so that: (1)The representatives of the citizens eliminate the current mentality of the prince and obtain that of the leader (�ρχοντα) of the ancient Greek Democracy, and (2) Today's voters / followers of political parties to became again Citizens with authority and responsibility.
The creation of citizens with responsibility but without power is utopian; the power and the responsibility are an indivisible unit. Exception exists to representatives / leaders of some countries , who took care to create laws to have power without responsibility

The Mother of Democracy
By Demosthenes Kyriazis
Natural and political power systems.
In the sets of insects, of birds, of animals and of people, power systems were developed, aiming at ensuring to all members of the set the basic subsistence goods; the goods of the food, of the safety and of the education. These systems, which were developed by the wisdom of Nature, are the natural power systems. Instead, in the human societies, power systems were developed by the controversial wisdom of man, that at the beginning had the same objectives as those of natural systems, but later men/rulers changed the objectives. These systems constitute the political systems of power, the regimes.....

The democratic mentality of the private sector and the hegemonic one of the public sector
By Demosthenes Kyriazis
... "For the citizens of the Athenian Democracy, public life was so deeply tied to the private one, that you hardly could distinguish one from the other".
The finding of the distinguished scholar, that in the Athenian Democracy there was coincidence of the private with the public life, which means coincidence of the private with the public interest, constitutes the main feature and the greatness of True Democracy.

The vicious cycle of corruption

With such a "logical process" is impossible to understand and finally solve a problem, because we limit our efforts to minimize the effects (symptoms), while the real cause is still going and remains intact.

Why in Ancient Greece the greatest civilization has been developed

It is a general and lasting recognition that the philosophical, political, social, artistic, scientific and other achievements of the ancient Greeks are top ones and at least so far unsurpassed. Understandably therefore the query:

The causes of contradictory views on the regime of the Athenian Democracy
By Demosthenes Kyriazis
[.....] Conclusion
Every citizen has to try to draw his conclusion for the regime of Direct Democracy, with the power of his logic and not with the power of the incentives created from promises, commitments and … "contracts with people”, of professional representatives’ politicians.
Citizens should fight to maintain the status of “logical processor of information”, which Nature and God have donated them, and reject the status of “consumer of information”, which the professionals of citizens’ representation, try to … donate them.

The three principles of democracy and their deliberate distortions
By Demosthenes Kyriazis
At the very basic question of what is the regime of Democracy, everybody usually answers with what he understands or with what is advantageous to him. The confusion grows even more because the name “Democracy” is used for every regime; the Parliamentary, the Socialist, the Ethnico-Sosialist, as well as for the totalitarian regimes of the lifelong “enlightened leaders”, who exercise the power for the good of the citizens, but without any involvement of them.

Democracy and Parliamentarism. Two regimes with different principles and philosophies.
By Demosthenes Kyriazis
The regime of Democracy is based upon the principle that all citizens are by their very nature and from God equal.
In mathematics, this equality has a meaning when it compares two similar physical magnitudes, such as for example: the height, or the weight, or the spiritual power (IQ), or the muscle power of the people.
In nature however, this equality does not apply; men are not equal in their physical magnitudes. There is therefore the question: what kind of regime is the Democracy that is based on an equality of citizens, which does not exist in nature? May Democracy be incompatible with the natural laws and therefore a utopian regime?

The foundation of the reforms.

In the view of the citizens’ majority, the current crisis is systematic and not occasional. The crisis is due to an excessive increase of entropy, the effects of which is the degradation and the reduction of the effectiveness of the systems, which we see in today's political system of many countries. It is the crisis of the representative system of government.

THE END OF REPRESENTATION
By Demosthenes Kyriazis
From our experience we know that certain natural attributes, as the man’s muscular and intellectual force, are from Nature, from God untransferable. All of us know and experience that the muscular and intellectual force of a person is not possible to be transferred to some other person either volunteerly, or violently, or by human laws. The impossibility of transfer of those natural attributes, is an obvious and undeniable natural law, the direct overshooting of which was neither realized, nor substantially was attempted in the thousands of years of man’s history.

When Pnyka will go to citizens
By Demosthenes Kyriazis
Nowadays the word crisis is heard a lot, louder and more often than in the past; crisis of the political system, crisis of the economical system, crisis of the educational system, crisis of the health system, crisis…. crisis… crisis…..
The today’s deep and general crisis has provoked disappointment to the people, particularly to the young men, and has led them even to deny their small and highly eliminated power of their electoral right. In some cases this disappointment has led them even to actions of violence.
What are we therefore doing to surpass the crisis of the political system? a. We cross our hands and wait for
a new Messiah to save us?
b. We strive to choose a genuine and not an imitation Messiah?
c. We rebel against the current Messiahs in order to overthrow them and bring some others who have, or we think that they have, unmistakable recipes to overpass the crisis?
d. We reject to-day’s status of some Messiah’s adherent and we bring forth again the status of “the ruler and ruled citizen” (�ρχων και αρχ�μενος πολ�της) that is the status of responsible and powerful citizen, the status of Citizen-Messiah?

NOMOCRACY
By Fred Blomson
Direct Democratic Nomocracy is the only and final evolution of all the times away from all the crises.
Direct Democracy is a unique ideology!
The main aim with Direct Democracy is the dialogue where everyone has the opportunity to discuss with everyone. In this respect, among others the mass media and the political parties are dictatorial, where mostly; a handful leader dictates their ideas to people who usually passive (and stupid!) receive the dictates. All over the world today in politics governs two elected dictatorships, a capitalist dictatorship and a social democratic dictatorship, the one worse than the other…
Equality and justice are possible only with citizens' own global DD laws.
The only chance of the Socialist International to develop is to abolish itself in favor of DD.

Direct Democracy, the old regime with the modern ideas
By Demosthenes Kyriazis
The old regime
This form of government has been developed in Greece 5000 years ago and named Δημοκρατ�α, Democracy. The term comes from the Greek words Δ�μος(demos) =set of citizens and Κρ�τος (Kratos) = Power. Therefore Democracy means the power of the citizens.
From its birth up to the 6th century BC, that is for about 3000 years, this regime was functioning without written laws. Friedrich Engels has named it “The spontaneous Democracy of the heroic era of Greece”.

Direct Democracy, the regime of low Entropy
By Demosthenes Kyriazis
The notion of Entropy.
The term “Entropy” comes out from the Greek words “εν & τροπ�” (in & conversion). The term was at first used from the German Physicist Clausious to express the difficulty of heat conversion into mechanical work. In a broader sense the term entropy expresses the measure of internal difficulty to transform one physical entity to another.
From a different approach the term expresses the degree of difficulty of a system to implement its task. High entropy means great reduction of the system’s ability to implement its task.
In thermodynamics when entropy obtains its maximum value then the production ability nullifies and then the thermodynamic death occurs. Similar results happen to all other systems, e.g. social, political, those of informatics.
