As the result of Italians’ frustration with the self-serving elite who have ruled Italy for decades, the recent democratic elections in Italy brought to power two anti-establishment political parties, Five-Star and Lega (League), that have solid majorities in both houses. However, the Italian president, an operative for the EU, attempted to appoint the prime minister independently of the election results, tried to himself appoint a “technocratic cabinet” that would ignore the democratic outcome, and succeeded in blocking the anti-establishment winners of the election from forming a government for three months. EU official Gunther Oettinger said that it was “not acceptable” for Italians to vote for anti-establishment parties and threatened Italians with financial destabilization that would “teach them how to vote.” The Failure of Laissez... Paul Craig Roberts Best Price: $7.33 Buy New $17.43 (as of 06:55 EDT - Details) Previously, in the wake of the international economic crisis brought on by the “banks too big to fail,” the Italians and the Greeks attempted to govern themselves democratically, but it was not permitted. The European Commission appointed Mario Monti, a banker, to be Italy’s prime minister. Monti, a member of Goldman Sachs Board of International Advisers, European Chairman of the Trilateral Commission, and a member of the Bilderberg Group, was appointed by the elite, not elected by the people. His cabinet did not include a single elected politician. (See my book, The Failure of Laissez Faire Capitalism.) Greece suffered the same fate of having an unelected banker appointed prime minister of Greece. Later when the Greeks succeeded in electing an anti-establishment government, the EU used economic threats and punishments to prevent the Greek government from governing. In the US the Democratic Party, presstitute media, and the security agencies have made a strenuous effort to overturn the election of Donald Trump. They have failed to evict him from office, but they have turned him away from his goal of normalizing relations with Russia and withdrawing militarily from the Middle East. In effect, Trump has been forced into the position of being the agent for what he campaigned against. In the West and among Western funded NGOs that operate in Russia and China, there is mindless talk about Russian and Chinese authoritarianism. Yet, democracy is far more alive in Russia and within the Chinese Communist Party that it is in the West. Western democracy has been dying for a long time. In the course of forming the EU, populations in some countries voted down membership. The vote was not permitted to stand. After a period of propaganda to instill fear of being “excluded from Europe,” populations were made to vote again. In this way they were strong-armed into sacrificing sovereignty to the EU. It remains to be seen if the British vote to exit the EU will actually be implemented. The Western elites despise democracy. They tolerate it only as a cover for their self-dealing when it can be manipulated to serve their interests. The Russians who want to join Western Democracy are clearly lacking in understanding. Considering the seeds of crisis that the self-serving policies of the Western elites have sowed, the responses to the crises will be calls for and acceptance of authoritarian rule. It is entirely possible that the democratic era is approaching its end. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest

Depressions are caused by the mass cancellation of Unpayable Debts. Dr Steve Keen said we are headed to a worse Depression than 1933 because we have more Unpayable Debts to cancel than anytime in 500 years. That will force change. I knew we were headed to a National Security State back when I was in high school because I knew the Bankers were going to steal our pensions and let 50 million Americans starve to death. We can have a Happy Ending. You can cancel debts through Hyperinflation as Germany did in 1923. You can discharge Debts in foreclosures and bankruptcies as America did in 1933. Or you can do as the ancient kings of Babylon and Sumer did which was declare a Jubilee. We could force a Jubilee, arrest the Bankers, seize their assets, and use those funds to pay for Debt Cancellation. The Truth of 911 Shall Set You Free From The Lie
Yes I think that would be a great idea. And we can find some tall trees and short ropes and watch the banksters dance at the end of those ropes. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
