THE BIG ISSUES - DEMOCRACY

Argentina

11/19/23

Meet Argentina's new president ... Javier Milei
(he may resemble the late comedian Robin Williams;
but the big difference is ... there is nothing funny about this guy)

Argentina goes "Trump"

UPDATE 11/20/23

How were the Oligarchs able to persuade Argentina's youth to join their cause? ...

By increasing inflation to extremely painful levels

"Give us back the power and we won't hurt you ... as much."

UPDATE 12/11/23

Milei is warning the people that the rich will be coming for ...

whatever they have left

Anarcho-capitalism

Belarus

8/10/20

This is Alexsander Lukashenko
He has been the dictator of Belarus since 1994

Lukashenko continues his reign as dictator for life ...

after a clearly-rigged election

Democracy is being wiped from the face of the Earth, worldwide,
by Oligarchs who are rapidly driving civilization back to The Middle Ages.

They couldn't be accomplishing this without the help of ...
their legions of brainwashed morons
(in the U.S. they are called "Maga").

UPDATE 8/13/20

This is what fascism looks like under a dictator:

They will kill their own people in a heartbeat ... to maintain power

Pay very close attention U.S. ...
you are moving dangerously close to this scenario.
Your "wannabe" dictator has already killed close to 200,000 Americans
and Trump gives no indication of letting up any time soon.

UPDATE 8/15/20

Putin to the rescue!

Come November, after Trump rigs and tries to steal another election in the U.S.,
Putin is going to be a very busy little Oligarch indeed.

UPDATE 5/23/21

Lukashenko forces jet to land in order to arrest a journalist

Fascism's victory over Democracy appears to be right around the corner
as Democracy retreats worldwide at an ever-accelerating pace.

10/26/18

JAIR BOLSONARO, president of Brazil (aka "The Trump of Brazil")

UPDATE 10/30/22 (4 years later) - Bolsonaro booted out

The fact that it was a tight election shows how powerful the Oligarchy is in Brazil

UPDATE 3/16/24

Bolsonaro tried to get the military to support his coup

Bolsonaro is a clone of Trump and these guys are springing up all over the world.

7/1/22

Dictator for Life, Xi Jinping of China

The Oligarchy continues its worldwide crackdown on Democracy

UPDATE 3/10/23

Xi Jinping ... cements his power

UPDATE 7/1/23

China is now hunting down pro-democracy activists

This is a preview of what is coming to America.
All over the world, Democracy is in full retreat
as the Oligarchy tightens its stranglehold on the masses.

Germany

11/4/22

This man needs no introduction

Hitler and Democracy (7:52)

UPDATE 1/21/24

Many Germans are attempting to stop the return of Fascism

UPDATE 9/1/24

It isn't going well

So why are Germans ignoring the lessons learned almost a century ago
when Nazis led the country down the path of total ruin?

The answer might lie in this quote from the article:
"A new party founded by a prominent leftist also made an immediate impact"

I smell ... "Divide and Conquer";
and when you smell that,
you can bet the Oligarchs are behind it.

Guatamala

6/25/23

Guatamala, like most of the rest of the world ...

is firmly under the control of its Oligarchs

UPDATE 9/30/23

Guatemala is fighting to save its democracy

You can be sure that Donald J. Trump
is keeping a very close eye on this one ...

and taking notes

UPDATE 11/1/23

The Oligarchs are now going after Guatamala
as their relentless attacks against Democracy ...

continue worldwide

UPDATE 1/15/24

Arevalo is finally sworn-in

Anyone wanna bet on how long he lives before the Oligarchs kill him?

Haiti

1/11/23

Ariel Henry is the president of Haiti

yet another, in a long line of Haitian Oligarchs

Like a row of falling dominoes
democracy is being destroyed all over the world
as the Oligarchs tighten their grip on the 99%.

India

6/21/23

Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi

"King" Modi is destroying the cancer known as "Democracy"

The resurgence of Fascism in India
began about the same time
as it did here in the U.S. (the 1980's).

Wherever it surges, it always relies on religion
and on selecting an "enemy" to distract the masses
from the fact that the Oligarchs are the real enemy.

The Fascists (Oligarchs) may have lost WW2
to predominantly democratic nations,
but they have now regrouped,
spread like a fast-moving cancer,
and are now close to completing their takeover of Earth.

The dominoes just keep falling ...
and India is one of the biggest dominoes on the planet.

UPDATE 1/27/24

Religion continues to be used worldwide by the Oligarchs
to rile and control the feeble-minded, who unfortunately,
still exist everywhere in large numbers.

Israeli Oligarchy moves to control its Supreme Court

UPDATE 7/25/23

The resistance increases as Israelis show the world how to fight for their Democracy

UPDATE 1/1/24

Israel's Supreme Court narrowly defeats conservative power grab 8-7 (1:19)

Israel narrowly avoided a complete conservative government takeover.
It will be interesting to see how the SCOTUS
votes on all the Trump issues coming before it;
especially in light of the fact that ...

1/3 of the court was appointed by Trump

Italy

10/22/22

Italy's first female Prime Minister ... Giorgia Meloni

The dominoes of Democracy continue to fall ... worldwide

Before you get too excited over seeing a woman getting a top position,
you should know that ... she bats for the other team.
The Oligarchs are gaining control over most of the world's most powerful nations.

Time is running out

New Zealand

10/14/23

New Zealand elects a conservative prime minister.
The Oligarchs who are orchestrating the fall of Democracy, worldwide ...

are being enabled by the "feeble" half of the population

The battle to save civilization must be waged on 2 fronts:
Against the Oligarchs themselves, and
against the "feeble" half of the population, whose minds they control.

Poland

6/4/23

Poland attempts to fight back against the Oligarchs ...

who are destroying their democracy

And the dominoes continue to fall all over the world.
Last week it was Turkiye (Tayyip Erdogan).
Will humans be able to turn the tide of battle before it's too late?

Stay tuned

UPDATE 10/16/23

Finally, one of the dominoes refused to fall.
Poland boots fascists out of power ...

for now

Like the U.S. in 2020, Poland has only won a brief reprieve.
Fascists, worldwide, are going to continue their attacks on Democracy.

Until humans can figure out how to "unbrainwash" the feeble half
whom the Oligarchs are using against the other half (divide-and-conquer),
the dominoes will continue to fall.

Russia

1/15/20

Russian President Vladimir Putin

Putin joins China's Xi Jinping as "ruler for life"

UPDATE 2/6/20

Putin rewrites Russia's Constitution and prepares to become its "Supreme Leader"

I'm sure Trump has already received the instruction booklet from Putin.
It should be no problem since half of America has already signalled its willingness to ...

accept a dictator

You thought I was joking ... didn't you? (3:28)

UPDATE 4/5/21

Putin sets up his dictatorship for life

putting the final nail in democracy's coffin

The Oligarchs now have the human race in a lethal choke hold
and there is no hero anywhere on the horizon.
Trump's recent misstep in the U.S. (the insurrection)
was but a temporary setback.
Time is running out and the world is in deep, deep, deep shit.

BATTLE STATIONS !!!!!

Spain

6/13/23

Spain's Oligarchy expected to return to power in the next elections

Spain, like so many other nations,
seems to have forgotten the disaster
that Fascism brought to the world
less than a century ago.

But I don't believe it's a case of forgetting,
as much as I think it is more a case of ...
not being able to stop the worldwide tsunami of Fascism
brought upon us by the Oligarchs.

UPDATE - 7/24/23

Spain is on the verge of becoming the next in a long line of dominoes

Ukraine

5/30/23

Ukraine attacked its Oligarchy ...

In less than a year, they were invaded by Russia (9:14)

It's not going to be easy.
Oligarchies have controlled all human civilizations for 10,000 years
and they will destroy the planet before they will give it up.

Venezuela

President-for-life Nicolas Maduro

7/22/24

Maduro has been in power for 11 years
and is now modelling himself after Trump ...

for the coming election

Fascists worldwide are all using the same playbook.

RESULTS 7/29/24

Maduro declares "suspicious" victory

Is this a preview of what is coming to America in 100 days?

Just because someone calls himself a Socialist
that doesn't mean that they are what they claim.
How do we know?

Hitler's party called itself the National Socialist Party.
If you buy that one, then you are ready to attend a Trump rally.

UPDATE 7/31/24

I'm sure Republicans are taking furious notes to see if Maduro's tactics succeed

UPDATE 8/1/24

I'm sure Republicans are taking furious notes to see if Maduro's tactics succeed

UPDATE 8/2/24 - MAGA gets blueprint from Venezuela on "How to do it"

Maduro sends goon squad to opposition hideout

UPDATE 9/8/24 - Maduro increases the pressure and forces Gonzalez to flee

Gonzalez granted political asylum in Spain

The World

7/15/23

First, let's hop into the Way Back Machine to Athens, Greece
and take a quick look at what is considered to be ...

the historical beginnings of Democracy (5:19)

So like everything else on this Earth, Democracy isn't perfect.
Here is one example which illustrates a weakness of Democracy:
"3 cannibals and 2 missionaries deciding on ... what to have for dinner."

Governmental and economic systems must be
adjusted and regulated to deal with their imperfections.
For example: the Bill of Rights protects the minority
from the bullying and oppression of the majority
(as in the cannibal example above).

Now, let's zoom ahead to the present

1/3/24

2024 looks to be a "make it or break it" year for democracy around the world.

Here is a quick look back at the recent rise of worldwide democracy

UPDATE 6/2/24

The Oligarchs are body-slamming democracy worldwide ...

Democracy declines for the 20th consecutive year

UPDATE 6/30/24

Halfway through 2024, worldwide election results show democracy ...

losing badly

The lone bright spot in this slaughter is Mexico.
Unfortunately, globally, Mexico has little influence.
Most of the powerful nations have now secured control over their populations
and the United States looks destined to join them in November 2024.

WARNING 7/23/24

Pulitzer Prize winner Anne Applebaum
gives a warning to the world regarding
the imminent destruction of democracy ...
