HAIL, THE KING

The king of the earth is not the one who appoints himself as king, it is the one whom the earth and its people appoint as their king. Similarly, the king of any one nation is not the one who appoints himself as king, it is the one whom the people of that nation choose as their king. When someone presumes to appoint himself as king over a nation and a people, without their full knowledge and consent, and if that nation is one that was founded on core precepts of democracy to which its people adhere, then that nation and its people must forcefully, decisively, and instantaneously reject any such self-appointed ruler. Otherwise, it risks becoming enslaved.
