Nov 2025

governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of us (the oligarchs); that whenever any government becomes destructive of OUR ends, it is the RIGHT of (the oligarchs) to alter or abolish such government, and to institute new forms as shall seem most likely to US (the oligarchs) to secure OUR future security and happiness."
