The Western experiment with globalism is reaching a critical mass. There will be a lot of turmoil. Probably we will become less free and more oppressive in the upcoming years. The US has never been weaker. Its moral standards are eroded. Technology has produced a mixed result, giving tremendous efficiencies to everyday life and instant communication.
But the technology has come with an unacceptable price. The structure is now run by a few companies and they have created individual tycoons unseen in the US since the early 20th century with power that even transcends international borders. They not only buy US politicians, they can buy foreign politicians. And they have become political. The left political stance suits them for now because they can control politicians and elections. They see themselves as citizens and leaders of the world. Yet nobody ever elected them. Did you vote for George Soros?
I have never said this before, because I always thought Europeans were hopeless pensioners willing to allow politicians run every detail of their lives, so long as they were comfortable. They thought Europe’s EU was a model for the world, to be run by beneficent elites educated at the finest academic institutions. Yet that model has begun to fail as the UK fled, the EU ran into unredeemable debt and the Eastern countries who suffered two generations under “elite” communist rule began moving toward the exits. They are realizing, as we in the US have forgotten, that the further government is from their constituents, the more unhappy the constituents become with the mandates rolled out by remote and untouchable bureaucracies.
Now I see that globalism is beginning to foment resistance. Europe may be ahead of the US in this movement. Europeans may not even know it yet.
Putin’s oligarchy is under stress today with protests much more important than the media hyped protests against the likely-rigged election in the US. In the US, the federal government bureaucracy framed and impeached a president under cover of the corporate media. For nothing. Putin tried to poison his main political antagonist Alexei Navalny and when he failed to kill him he imprisoned him on his return. This kind of governance has gone on for 21 years under Putin. Putin lives lavishly, as his country’s citizens languish in economic captivity to a few oligarchs. Not much different from the US Tycoons of Silicon Valley and the NY investment banking cabal.
Tyranny never lasts forever, because it is illogical and unacceptable. But logic and morality do not always prevail in the short term. So, bumpy road ahead folks !
