(14,150 posts).... The political Fascists are assisting the Criminal Fascist Oligarchs to destabilize and over throw Western Democracies so they can divide the financial spoils and high jack the political systems with their goons then put in place and running the show once they setup their puppet governments.
They will rape the earth of it's resources and pocket the proceeds to their exclusive benefit. The common classes will become their slave labor to shine their shoes, clean their toilets, mow their lawns, and clean their windows on their mansions and elegant vacation properties.

(764 posts)I thought those investigating the Don would wait until closer to the high point of the meeting in Singapore before they started dropping the bombs. They got to get us ready to accept that there is obvious proof the Don is a tool for Putin maybe even an agent. And those Trump backers that put aside their concerns for the well being of others and instead began putting just the possibility of getting more money above their conscience. We have to deal with that as a society. Can we forgive them?
There is a global battle out there right now for control of who gets to make the rules? The rules that allow who gets the money they are fighting for control of that. Is it going to be PutinTrump and other dictators or are the democratic institutions both in the US and Europe going to remain in control? I am hoping for the institutions those in control right now. They are a little dry but they regulate stuff and keep up from preying on each other.
If the Don and those backing him win then we are not going to have any regulations it will be a free for all and we will go back the stone age in a decade.
Who is going to win? I don't know with this latest attack on the freedom of press I am concerned they got some thinkers on the Don side who like the Ruskies who can control populations through social media.
