Cenocracy
Examples of a Provisional Cenocratic Formula


Below are two elementary examples of applying a Cenocratic formula to existing government structures. Naturally there would be alterations when put into actual practice. In addition, both governments need a Bill of Rights as well as Constitutions developed and ratified by their respective publics.

~All other government offices~
and attendant staff



The collective actions of a legislature is sometimes antagonistic or even antithetical to the interests of the whole of the people it is supposed to establish laws for the benefit thereof; as well as remove or abridge laws which become obsolete, irrelevant or counter-productive. Legislatures which function by way of a traditionalized mode of activity and argue their right to effect legislation as deemed fit by such a Constitutionally awarded mandate as if it were commensurate with an infallible moral standard, can not be trusted to effect the best judgment for the whole of the people at all times. It is therefore prudent and of the deepest intellectual necessity that the people themselves establish the most effective way to ensure that its interests are represented by the adoption of a Peoples Legislative Branch which is not only subservient to none, but THE dominant means by which a government OF, BY and For ALL the people is adhered to. In effect, a Peoples Legislative Branch is an enforceable collective bargaining tool that so many forms of present day Communism, Democracy and Socialism exclude from having any functionality, beyond a 'misgiving mumbled murmur', and provides only the illusion (delusion) as having any real value. History is replete with examples of governing systems whose leadership fail to accept the reality that the people are the real value... and that they, themselves, can easily be replaced with some other humbly-affected egotistical idiot.


~ CENOCRATIC SELF-REPRESENTATION ~

  1. ...One man, one woman, and one worker from any walk of life will randomly be selected from separate self-nominated lists culled from each of the different states, provinces, or preeminent territorial partitions (as defined by the will of the people) to hold office in their own distinct new governmental branch, which will constitute the primary qualifications for occupying a peoples representative seat. If so selected, they can choose to accept... or decline the position based on unforeseen circumstances, a change of interest, a change or heart, or whatever.


    Those selected must actively participate in the Cenocratic process or be held in contempt and asked to resign. Those failing to abdicate their position when asked to do so will be forced out and another from their respective State (etc.) will be selected. Those selected do not have to have a political or other group/organization affiliation. (Many people are not "card carrying" members of any organization.)


    In no way can their position be bought, sold, traded, or given to anyone else. Another candidate must be provisionally selected in the event of decline, demise, or lawful detention. Wages and benefits will initially be commensurate with other traditional representation and adjusted when the Peoples Legislative Branch deems it necessary so long as it is approved by the people. All government wages will henceforth be monitored and adjusted according to the will of the people. Government employees are not to have wages and benefits that are, in effect, "exclusionary principles of mere position or activity," that the common person is not duly provided with on a commensurate level.


    In other words, if government employees can have benefits and wages which include cost of living allowances and adjustments, then every person should have the same. Government standards which exceed the standards of the majority of the public is not a government which represents the over-all dominant public standard. Government standards which exceed the standards of the over-all public standard is an elitist standard which subjugates the greater public position into that of a serfdom... that which serves the government instead of the government serving the public. Government workers should not be entitled to wages and benefits based on taxes for which those who contribute to the taxes aren't permitted to have.


    Additionally, no government employee branch or department has the constitutional right to provide their own wage, benefit and duration of employment standards without the will of the people who must likewise be provided similarly with. The elitist mentality of all government employees branches and departments will come to an end. Arguments that such wages, benefits and cost of living allowances are commensurate with similar professions in the "publicly-private" realm does not constitute a rationale for providing the same when the majority of people are not permitted to share in a "like-minded" proportionality standard, and yet are forced, by way of taxation, to provide this appropriated standard.

  2. ...The no-fee lists will contain only self-nominated citizens of legal voting, military service or marriageable age who honestly and seriously wish to serve the minimum of a one-year and the maximum of an overall three-year term in the Peoples Self-Representative Branch with pay and benefits commensurate to those in elected or chosen offices until such time as an over-haul of the entire government pay and benefit system can be effected.


    (To deny the right of self-representative citizenship to those who are old enough to serve in the military or get married, and yet have not reached the legal voting age is an hypocrisy when these same individuals may be taught citizenship in schools and are expected to act accordingly in a civic-minded manner, as well as give their life for a country that denies them the ability to vote. Equal Rights means Equal Rights and not an exercise of elitist double-standards. Persons that are socially deemed too immature to vote their own conscience should likewise be considered similarly too irresponsible for military service or marriage. Such denials are no less than politically denigrating competency voting measures with no actual test ever being administered.)

  3. ...They are otherwise released from other expectations of office such as owning one or more residences, dual citizenships, wearing the so-called "professional uniform" attire of politicians (which sometimes includes pins, buttons, including party, school or organization affiliation and [metaphorically speaking] other would-be 'clan' tattoos and insignia), etc...

  4. ...Persons with disabilities that can vote their own conscience though they might need assistance with mechanical or functional duty activities, requiring them to select from one to three assistants (who will be commensurated appropriately) to aid them in accomplishing their role.

  5. ...No member can be randomly chosen for two successive appointments, if so designated by a majority vote of the Peoples Representative Branch and secured by a will-of-the people vote.

Addendum: A "worker" is anyone performing physical or mental activity for which they may or may not receive pay, a service, shelter, clothing, education, food, potable liquids, accessibility towards or away from that which is desirable or undesirable.


Addendum: A "man" and a "woman" are designated as such within the present realm of biological standards related to humanity, though the standards of what is meant by humanity may one day include cybernetic beings/organisms, or other sentient beings that are androgynous or of extra-terrestrial origin. Those engaging in a sex-change event, where their sex is altered to legally designate them as having altered their life from one gender to another, will be eligible to participate in the Cenocratic selection process with their changed gender, even if they were previously selected for a PLB appointment in the other gender.


Addendum: Those designated as members of the P.L.B. (Peoples Legislative Branch) can not hold con-current positions elsewhere. (The roles of wife, mother, husband, or father in the conventional sense, are not to be considered "positions." Other traditionalized roles, which do not interfere with the ability of the person to perform P.L.B. legislative duties, may be included in this list.)



Those selected for a Federal Peoples Legislative Branch position:



  1. ...No action of the PLB is to supersede the will of the people.

  2. ...The will of the people, through a national (or international) referendum can replace the entire PLB membership at the same time and replace it with another one through a people-designated PLB selection process.

  3. ...Its primary role is to service the Law Binding Referendum Entitlement to the people.

  4. ...Must guard the People against loss of any Referendum by singular or combined actions of any private or government entity, whether singularly or collectively applied.

  5. ...Must bring any and all issues deemed necessary by the people for the people to vote in Referendum on.

  6. ...Must enforce the right of Referendum usage against any government department, branch, or agency usage, so long as it is truly a national concern as defined by the people.

  7. ...Must decide what issue is a national as opposed to a regional issue. In the event of a regional issue, the state or local P.L.B. must effect the necessary course of action to hold the respective Referendum vote.

  8. ...Must enforce a national vote on regional issues that may later be deemed a national issue.

  9. ...Must enforce the adopted Congressional Binding Standard of a Referendum vote. In the event an individual or group does not voice their dissension by way of a contrasting (i.e. "NO") vote, the absence of their vote will be deemed in agreement therewith.

  10. ...Must nullify all results in the event that an individual or group have been intentionally or unavoidably "detained" or held-in-check from their ability to cast a vote. Results will not be tendered until such time as they can vote. In the event of an emergency, when an actual one exists according to a wide-spread interpretation of the people, then a result of the existing votes may be tendered until such time as the whole of the people can vote. The vote at that time will supersede any former result. Those engaged in any form of vote tampering which undermines the will of the people to vote and carry that vote into law, will be defined as those having committed treason against the people and will be subjected to the harshest penalty provided by the law of the people.


    Addendum: The phrase "Law of the Land" is to be used to designate laws legislated by the old (presently existing) government. The phrase "Law of the People" will be used to designate laws developed and ratified by the people involved in the practice of a Cenocratic government.


  11. ...Will ensure a no "loop-hole" standard in the event some provision permits an obvious act of an individual or group subverting any PLB clause. All "loop-holes" will automatically be closed which undermines the will of the people. (For example, lawyers, accountants, and others who subvert present tax laws by engaging in behavior and practices which are deliberately focused on "redefining" tax laws for the benefit of themselves and their clients.) The PLB will close ALL loop-holes and insure the enforcement of a National, Congressionally mandated "NO LOOP-HOLE" provision in any and all laws. Loop-holes that are said to be of value for the people do not need to be Loop-holes, they need to be lawful practices which serve the best interests of everyone... as interpreted and defined via a national referendum.

  12. ...Can collectively vote to accept or refuse with or without change, any legislation, law, statute, tax, decree, edict, summons, request, treaty, promise, rule, contract, charter, ordinance, provision, bill, etc., issued by any Federal Legislative, Judicial, or Executive governing body, by a majority decision of those members who are present to vote. A majority will consist of all members being present unless absence is due to unforeseen circumstances. In such a case, under the pretense of one or more others attempting to exert influence on the decision to be reached by way of absent membership, then the whole of the public have the right to vote in their stead.

  13. ...The P.L.B. may, at its own discretion, in accord with the will of the people, choose to develop specific lists from which individuals with erudite, technical, or "particular" (esoteric, etc.) knowledge and/or ability are randomly chosen to provide information to the P.L.B... Those selected will be remunerated according to the level of service provided. Each P.L.B. member may, if so desired, select up to two individuals to assist them in their duties but the actual quantity of assistants will be determined by overall workload. However, all changes to the P.L.B. operations charter must be approved by a majority vote of the entire P.L.B... If necessary, individual P.L.B. sub-divisions can be designated as full-time monitors of specific governmental departments, day-to-day internal activities, and external actions, to insure that all facets of government remain subservient to the people.

  14. ...Any member of the P.L.B. can call for discussions on any issue that is, will be, or has been affecting the national interest, such as developing a selection process by which positions in the Federal government (e.g. Fed Chairman, Chief Justices, etc…) are chosen. Confirmations of positions prior to the development of the P.L.B. will not be accepted if so decided by the P.L.B. members or the people at large via a national referendum. Previous definitive law-making actions can and will be taken as deemed necessary until such time as they are found not to be needed. Philosophical or other commentary viewed as filibustering attempts to thwart necessary discussions or legislation... will be censored and the member(s) reprimanded with the proviso that another attempt may have them voted out of their position and replaced through the accepted form of random selection process. All P.L.B. members are working for the good of the people and are not legislative go-betweens for singular commercial, political, or religious interests.

  15. ...Any member of any P.L.B. office, whether they are an assistant, or otherwise, will be required to resign if they attempt to discharge their duties for the primary intent of personal gain for themselves or another involving any business transaction found not to be in the primary or best interests of the public their employment is intended to serve.

  16. ...Any member of any P.L.B. office, whether they are an assistant, or otherwise, are not to engage in any transaction which serves the interests of any other person or group than that of the whole citizenry.

  17. ...At the behest of the people via a Referendum vote, the P.L.B. can ask for anyone, in any position of government to resign. If the person or persons refuse to vacate their office, the P.L.B. can effect the forced removal thereof.

  18. ...Legislation generated in the P. L. B. must be sent to the other Legislative Branch(es) with a specific request. If the request is denied, postponed, or otherwise rejected in one way or another without a pertinent and acceptable reason, the P.L.B. can call for a Public-wide referendum. Any and all decisions reached by a national referendum will be Constitutionally-binding and cannot be repealed without the permission of the public. No court, militant action, nor legislative body can refute, alter, rescind, or otherwise ignore the will of the people. Alternative suggestions can be offered, but need not be accepted.

  19. ...Any member of the P.L.B. or individual from society at large may nullify the attempt to pass any P.L.B. decision if they feel there are an insufficient number of members present to vote. Conventionally Elected or Chosen Officials must rely on their standard legislative processes to affect any form of intervention. Stalemated Legislative processes amongst all branches will automatically call for a public-wide Constitutionally-binding referendum. If an Elected Representative Branch(es) makes an attempt to deliberately postpone or interfere with necessary legislation, it will be viewed as an abdication of Executive, Legislative, or Judicial ability and the P.L.B. will have full Constitutionally-binding legislative powers which supersede any and all government departments and branches. Any postponement must be ratified by the Peoples Legislative Branch. The sovereignty of the people must be respected.

  20. ...The P.L.B. can call for a national referendum to have one, more, or all members of any government branch or office removed for specific charges or a simple no-confidence vote. The vote must be ratified by those who initially voted them into their job. In the event of a stalemated outcome, and the nature of the offense (whether of national or local politics concern), a national (or local) referendum may be called.

  21. ...Referendums initiated by the P.L.B. will need no signature collection process. A simple majority vote will be sufficient. Any citizen, without need of a signature collection process, can contact any P.L.B. member to request consideration for a national referendum. Considerations can be based on public interest derived from the available means by which ideas and comments may be best distributed and acquired.

  22. ...The P.L.B. can designate compulsory national referendums for anything as deemed needed. (For example, taxes and tax forms structure, budgetary concerns, contracts, social security, health-care, abortion, same sex marriages, death penalty, environmental concerns, military service, public utilities, food and shelter shortages, poverty, war, standardization of fuel types (grades), etc...)

  23. ...The P.L.B. cannot appoint anyone to fill a vacant position typically chosen by an election, elected person, or elected body, but the P.L.B. can call for a national referendum regarding term limits, position, benefits, salary, personal accountability and consequences for improper legislative decisions, etc...

  24. ...Any member of the P.L.B. may vacate their position at any time for whatever reason, without needing to disclose the reason for doing so. An alternate will be the person selected as "runner-up," who in turn, also has a runner-up selected for the possibility of an unforeseen eventuality.

  25. ...The P.L.B. can alter its functions as it sees fit, so long as it is sanctioned by the people.

  26. ...The P.L.B. is an abbreviation that does not limit its providence of action solely to the Legislative division of social self-governance. Rightly so, it also includes the Judicial and Executive orders of governance. Hence, the P.L.B. may additionally be designated, in conjunction with said duties, the P.J.B. (Peoples Judicial Branch), the P.E.B. (Peoples Executive Branch) or any conjoinment thereof.

  27. ...The Federal P.L.B. is a collective entity of sovereign citizens whose jurisdiction is the whole of the nation, answerable to the nation, and is a citizen's Self-Representative Branch of one nation amongst many other nations on this planet we call Earth. Individual Peoples Representative Branch members on the Federal level cannot vote on any such issuance originating from any elected or chosen member specifically representing the State, Province, or Territorial demarcation boundaries from which they were randomly chosen. State and Local Peoples Legislative branch positions are likewise restricted to vote in their respective designations unless jurisdiction is temporarily waived by a peoples referendum to accomplish specific goals that would otherwise be difficult to obtain.

  28. ... Any P.L.B. member of one jurisdiction (federal, state, local) that attempts to use their position to willfully effect changes or outcomes in the province of another must vacate their position.



Addendum



  1. ...Two additional lists will routinely be kept containing the self-nominated names of those who would like to serve as either the Chief Presider who acts as functionary manager-clerk or those who prefer to be an assistant to the Chief Presiding Manager-clerk. The number of assistants will be at the discretion of the C.P.M-c. based on work duties and work-load responsibilities, but must get approval from the Self-Representative Branch members. Their term in office will be the same as any Self-Representative member on the level of government they serve, unless otherwise designated by a majority vote of the Peoples Legislative Branch and sanctioned by the people.

  2. ...For the Federal level of Chief Presider, one name from each of the States, Provinces, etc., will be sent to the Federal Legislative Peoples Branch who will randomly select the final candidate.

  3. ...The Federal C.P.M-c. will randomly choose the assistants needed from a random selection of State, Province, etc., lists. No two assistants may be from the same distributive location unless otherwise sanctioned due to unforeseen circumstances; and the randomness as well as the final candidates must be approved by the Self-Representative Branch members in accordance with the will-of-the people stipulations adopted by a national referendum.



Discussions in the P.L.B. should at the very least, be on the order of a three-part procedure (But this is only a rule-of-thumb that can be altered to suit unforeseen circumstances):



  1. Facts should be presented, not opinion, unless requested by the membership. (However, opinions can sometimes render more useful insight than mere facts.)

  2. Opinions should be presented regarding the facts.

  3. A Summation should render wisdom, reflection, judicial proposal and not ulterior motivated political-positioning rhetoric.


New facts may be presented at any time but they must not be the result of deliberate concealment in order to forestall procedure through piece-meal discovery and presentation. Any attempt to do so will be censored and those involved dealt harshly by the P.L.B.. Sacrificial membership displays for partnership arrangements will not be tolerated. Deliberate attempts to forestall introduction of a discussion, discussion and/or vote on a topic will not be tolerated. No manner of filibustering is needed when delay is required to best suit the needs of the public.



The Single Majority Vote:

Laws/Statutes pertaining to local matters need only a Single majority vote of the resident Peoples Legislative Branch, though any grass roots initiative to have a city or county/province-wide referendum must be honored. The will of the people is to be secured and cannot be altered without their consent.



There is no compromise to be made in our need for a true Peoples Representative Branch. It is ludicrous to think we will assuage their pretended grumbled feelings of sadness through rejection for being told they are not needed in telling us what to do by way of selectively chosen laws. Laws which are imposed on us to an extent we are forced into compromising our desires for enhanced self-rule through unspoken commands that demand we agree (in muffled silence) to let them maintain their power over us. Whereby they alone can determine what we can and cannot vote in Referendum on.



The Double Majority Vote:

Laws/Statutes pertaining to State Constitutional/Statute matters, use of National guard, etc... must have a Double majority vote consisting of State and Local Peoples Legislative Branches/Bodies. A majority vote of both or either (local/state) Branch representations may call for a State-wide referendum, though any grass roots initiative to have a referendum must be honored. The will of the people is to be secured and cannot be altered without their consent.



The Triple Majority Vote:

Laws/Statutes pertaining to Federal Constitutional matters, including taxes, levying of war, serious budgetary concerns, etc., must have a Triple majority vote consisting of all City, State, as well as Federal Peoples Legislative Branch Representatives before any change or action can be initiated. A majority vote of any Peoples Legislative Branch, be it Local, State or Federal, (or the lack thereof due to unforeseen circumstances) will mandate a nation-wide referendum, though any grass roots initiative to have a referendum must be honored. Referendum initiative review boards that are totally controlled by the public can be established with public funding to determine legitimacy, prepare facts, and develop the framework for an initiative to be publicly proposed. A national referendum should have the following positions to consider:



  1. ...To make changes in accord with the elected/chosen Representative Branch(es)

  2. ...To make changes in accord with the Peoples Representative Branch.

  3. ...To make no changes, combined changes, or those of the citizens own design.

The will of the people is to be secured and cannot be altered, abridged, or annotated without their consent, which includes suggested punishments for violations thereof.
