Why Politicians May Sometimes Ignore the People

The Senate’s version of the Health Care Reform Bill is now a virtual lock to pass this Thursday after Nebraska Senator Bill Nelson was essentially bribed by the Senate Democrats to abandon his supposed “anti-abortion” beliefs to support the legislation. I've spent my Monday morning listening to commentators and callers on the radio just being completely enraged by how the Democrats are trying to ram through legislation that a majority of the people do not want by doing whatever it takes.


I have read a lot of academic Political Science research articles where the chief assumption the researchers make is that democratic politicians are rational people who are mainly concerned about getting reelected. For many years I believed that this assumption held true 99.9% of the time. However, the recent actions by the Democrats and the actions of world leaders to push global governance makes me question this assumption.


Former Diplomat Wayne Peterson has publicly stated that he is a follower of Maitreya and the Ascended Masters. Peterson wrote a book about his life experiences which included meetings with Maitreya and with the Ascended Masters during his time as a diplomat. Peterson gave an interview where he spoke about his experiences, which you can access at this link.


I suggest you read the interview because Peterson strongly suggests that all sorts of high-level people have met with Maitreya and with the Ascended Masters, but are too afraid of speaking up about it. If Peterson is correct we may have an explanation to account for why politicians are sometimes willing to make laws that are unpopular with their voters.


Who are you going to listen to if you are an undiscerning politician that has a spiritual being instructing you to do something: the spiritual being or people? I would bet that most politicians would listen to the spiritual being because they probably have the impression that a divine being has appointed them to get a certain thing done. Therefore, here is my new assumption about politicians:


Politicians are rational people who are concerned about winning reelection unless they are instructed by a higher power to sacrifice their position of power to push a certain agenda.


The book is 95% done. I hope the book can be completely before the next decade, which is only a little more than 10 days from now.
