Bring the Swiss system to the US. Let the people decide how much to help Israel and if attacking and destroying the Ayatollahs is justified.

My impression is most Americans still support the survival of Israel, do not support Hamas at all, do not support the abominal way Israel behaves in Gaza and other terro

itories, support a viable Palestinian state but without Hamas (with Hamas in power most American may support that Palestinians do not deserve a state.

Most Americans I believe support destroying the Islamist regime in power, in part because a nuclear Iran is a danger to Israel but, perhaps even more because a nuclear Iran would blackmail all states around into puppets.

I believe most Americans will also support impeaching Trump for its protection of Epstein’s criminal class.

If the US had the s

Swiss system, which only requires and amendment to the Constitution ( orherwise the Swiss Constitution resembles that of the US, in which it is based), there would be several groups in the US collecting signatures for a really democratic amd direct decision of those issues by the voters.

Furthermore, such decisions by the American people would protect American Jews and Israel much more solidly than the current strategy of Jews of basically intimidating candidates and elected politicians into supporting Israel the way most Jews want, not the way most Americans may ormay not want.

The Jewish lobby is doing what the crazy US electoral law allows; unlimited private money into all political campaigns. Quite ligically, the US public resents the Jews and the politicians when the will of the people is not considered or ignored.

Naturally, such resentment is rational because what all lobbies (not just the Jewish lobby) try to do is de facto by pass democracy.

As US democracy and politicians of all parties, become discredited in the eyes of the people the political gun powder spreads all over the nation waiting for a spark.

The spark could be mass unemployment, hyper inflation, growing inequality, deepening social and pilitical division, etc.

Carlson is nuts, and those trying to protect Iran from US attacks too, defending Iran because they hate the Jews is nuts.

One thing is to criticize Israel in Gaza, criticise the US for sending too much money to Israel BUT Iran is clearly the enemy of Israel AND of all Arab states around Iran, otherwise they would not accept American, British and French bases.

The actions of Iran attacking now the Arab states prove they are nuts and evil.

An Iran with nuclear weapons scares the Israelis BUT scares even more the Arabs.

It is rational too to attack Trump for protecting the Epstein class.

But Tucker, stupidly goes histerical over attacking Iran.

I suspect Tucker is now very antisemitic and that is why he attacks Trump for the attack on Iran.

That Israel wants the US to attack Iran, does not make it a war on behalf of Israel only, it is a war on behalf of the Arab states and on behalf of all those countries who depend on a stable supply of oil and gas out of the Arab states in the Gulf. Any idiot can understand the Islamists of Iran can not be allowed to have nuclear weapons and control oil production and oil shipping.

Sad to say but Tucker, David Smith, The Young Turks, Breaking Points, Jimmi Dore and many others have lost their minds not defending destroying the Ayatollah’s regime. Their obsession with Jewish power in the US has driven them irrational emotional. Literally, they are not thinking rationally.

The hard truth is that Israel was wrong in Gaza, Trump and US politicians are wrong supporting Israel too much, Hamas is nuts, the Ayatollahs are nuts, Trump is wrong protecting the Epstein criminals and should be impeached for that, and those criticiszing Israel and the US for attacking Iran are nuts too.

Get off your verbal behinds, take to the streets, drop all the anti Israel and anti Jewish lobby stuff, the anti Trump stuff and march together with people of any ideology demanding the Swiss system of political decision making in the hands of the people and off the hands of all politicians and lobbies.

Make the decision by the people binding on politicians. Do not allow the Supreme Court to decide over the people

Look guys, that Israel wants to destroy the Ayatollahs does not mean the Ayatollahs are not an evil regime.

The hard truth is that even the Moslem states around Iran fear it and that is why they have American military bases. Those states are not scared that the US or Israel will destroy them or take their oil.

The hard truth is that those states and Israel fear the ayatollahs.

They fear them for good reason. It is obvious Iran wants to have nuclear weapons, otherwise they would welcome inspections over all of Iran.

It is also obvious they want to destroy Israel.

It is also obvious that millions of Iranians want the regime gone. They have to be very angry and tired of the Ayatollahs to risk, and lose their lives by the thousands a few months ago.

The Israelis have turned arrogant but in part is because of the intransigence of Palestinians.

It is obvious the Jews invaded Palestinian lands in the 1940s, initially peacefully, later with terror and war.

Palestinians were right to oppose them but after several bloody defeats, and further loss of land, should have realized they would not be able to kick the Jews into the sea or back to Europe.

What they should have done is accept the reality of Israel and, while Israel had nor yet become arrogant with so much winning, try to get the US and international community to push Israel to accept a Palestinian state.

But they did not, even after the Jews defeated all Arab armies together.

After each defeat the Palestinians became more bitter and hateful, culminating wirh Hamas running Gaza.

Yes, the Jews, after every win increased their ambition to recreate Greater Israel and do everything they can to get the Palestinians to go.

Then Hamas committed several stupidities.

For example, once the Arab nations decided no more wars against the Jews and decided not to support Hamas, Hamas turned to Iran for support.

Then they made a huge mistake; the massacre of Jews on October 7.

Even if it is true that Israel on purpose weakened its defensive measures to facilitate rhe attack by Hamas, Hamas was still criminal, they did the killing.

Of course, if it is true the Israeli government removed troops to facilitate the killing, they deserve the death penalty but that is wrongdoing by Jews to Jews.

For Palestinians to seek support from Iran, a shiite state hateful of sunni states, was absolutely insane and it is no surprise the Jews went after Iran, Hizbollah, etc.

Fortunately for Palestinians, the Jews made a huge mistake; masdacre the innocent in Gaza.

That turned American public opinion against Jews and Israel. Its effects have not culminated but the time is not far when US piluticians come to see that supporting Israel is toxic at election time.

We are seeing Jewish influence in the US cracking but not yet collapsed.

Attacking Iran now is right. Israel is a new reality with the right to survive, although not tge right to Greater Israel, no matter what any holy book says.

But let us face it; what the Jews are doing to the Palestinians is not different from what the Moslems did to the peoples they conquered and nobody in Morocco or other places tries to kick the Moslems out, kill them and return to Paganism.

As for the US helping Israel too much, if that is so what most Americans like Carlson have to do is retune the US political system so that no lobby, Jewish, Chinese, Armenian, Moslem, pharmaceutical, military or any other lobby can have so much influence.

Do not blame the Jewish lobby or other lobbies, change the syatem instead.

The system the US and orthers need is the Swiss system or real power in rhe hands of the people.

In such syatem, politicians obey the people and the lobbies have to lobby the people. Study the Swiss system and how it will fix all major US messes.

Take to streets and demand the Swiss system, do not blame the Jews!

There is a lot of rationalization trying to overcome the inferiotity complex of Christians and Moslems in relation to Jews. I am not Jewish.

The problem can be fixed only by abandoning Christianity and embracing human reason as the only rational way to deal with the mosteries and wonders of nature, with ethics, civil life and everything else.

That is what the Ancient Greeks did and that is what empowered them and that is why they left behind the rest of humanity of the time, Jews and Persians included.

That is why the Greeks developed democracy; rule by us, by the people themselves, not by any god or gods or holy books.

The Greek and Roman gods did not come close to the Jewish (Christian and Muslim god), they had many and each occupied a limited parcel of life; god of the home. Of war, of the sea, etc.

The Greeks and Romans treated their gods only as slightly superior to humans and they had a kind of dialogue, a transactional relation to them

This can be seen in the way they prayed and offered sacrifices not to ask for forgiveness for sins like the Jews did and, later Christians and Moslems, the Greeks and Romans sacrificed an animal to get something from a particular god.
Greek: “O Zeus, grant victory to our army, and accept this bull as offering.”
Roman: “Jupiter, if we follow the auspices and perform the ritual correctly, grant peace and prosperity to Rome.”
Jewish: “Hear, O Lord, our prayers, forgive our sins, and guide us in Your ways.”
Christian: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name; Your kingdom come.”
Muslim: “O Allah, guide me, forgive my sins, and bless me and my family.”
Praying postures also reflect the self image of each: Greeks and Romans prayed standing and seated. On rare occasions the Romans prayed kneeling. Never prostrated
Jews prayed standing, kneeling and sometimes prostrated.
Christians prayed standing and frequent kneeling.
As for Moslems, you can see how they pray.

It is obvious by how they looked at god or gods that Greeks and Romans had a much higher esteem of humans and thus they had gods with very limited powers.
They never looked at the gods for moral, ethical or legal guidance, they had to figure out what was the right thing by themselves.

That is why they rely on human reason as the essential tool to deal with everything.

That is why the Greeks developed democracy as rational way to govern: “ we think, we debate, we vote to decide”, no divine kings, no high priests, no god, mo holy books”

The other peoples of the time, Jews, Persians, Egyptiians or the more distant Indians of Chines or anybody else ever came close to the Greeks.

Democracy empowered the people and the individual. No wonder the Greeks thought about everything without fear of violating any dogma, holy book or “revealed truth”.

No doubt the concept of an all powerful god ruling over humans made no sense to Greeks and Romans.

Neither probably make sense to Greeks and Romans to have exclusively male divinity, they had goddesses too, which shows women were held in much higher regard than in Judaism and the latecomers Christians and Moslems.

That is why the Romans ruling over the Jews did not force them to vonvert to Roman beliefs and respected Jewish beliefs, except when Judaism became political. Romans did not care much for Judaism as religion but cracked down on Jews and destroyed the temple because Jews rebelled against Roman rule, a serious miscalculation but not the first in the long history of miscalculations by Jews, although one can not deny that, overall, Jews calculated even better than the Greek and Roman political entities.

However, Greek and Roman thought came back from the dead and are in the process of prevailing over Christian, Jewish and Moslem thought since the Renaissance and the Enlightenment which pushed religion and god to the sidelines.

Somehow, a number of Middle Ages Italians and orhers decided to bring back freedom of thought and democracy.

The rest is history; the number of people abandoning religion, not because they hate religion or god but because it no longer makes sense in view of the advances of Greek thought-based science in all fields, including the spiritual.

The efforts of the Church to shoehorn Christianity into Greek thought, or viceversa have been an abject failure, just a bunch of intellectual pirouettes. If the Ancient Greeks could read what Thomas Aquinas and others did, the Greeks would have seen them as irrational; Greek ideas about everything were very diverse but all the product of human thinking, not of revealed truth, that would be an absurd concept to them. In fact, they knew of Judaism but did not make sense to them. How could it? For the Greeks, man, not the gods are the measure of all things.

In fact, that is what Protagoras stated some 2600 years ago.

The greeks did not execute him for pushing gods aside, an indication of how civilized they were.

They did no go after him either when he stated:
“Concerning the gods, I am not able to know whether they exist or not, or what they are like, because of the obscurity of the subject and the shortness of human life.”

Neirher did they go after Democritus who, at about the same time stated that
All things consist of atoms and void.
Reason is the tool to understand the World. Knowledge, perception, and reason are central; the gods (if they exist) are irrelevant to natural processes.

Thought is the result of the activity of the atoms of our head, not of any soul.

Look at how differently the Christian treated Galileo when he put forward rational evidence that Earth was not at the center of the Universe, they practically killed him. Or what the Jews did to Spinoza in the 1600s.

Not to mention what Moslems even today do to non believers or apostates…
Let me say sometjing about Marxists and Atheists who hate and fight the idea of god; they are as irrational and primitive as those who persecuted Galileo or Spinoza, or the deranged Moslem Supremacists of today.

We have not completely left behind dogmatic magical thinking, otherwise we would not have Marxism, Fascism, Nazism or all the religions.

But we will bevause science proves that many religious beliefs make no sense, that absolute thinking is irrational when applied to nature and thought, perhaps mathematics is the exception.

Marxism, communism, socialism, religious fascism like Iran’s are much worse than just religious beliefs.

Religious thinking is contrsry to democracy too because absolute truth. Faith, is incompatible with freedom of thought. Fortunately, most Christians have acvepted to separate religion from politics and laws. Most Jews in Western coyntries too, but not the Sionists. As for Moslems, they are stuck in pre Galileo times.

One big step all countries need to take to catch up to the Greeks is to bring final authority to decide laws and policies to the votets and remove them from elected politicians. So far, only the Swiss come close.

To all Jews, Sionists and otherwise. To all Christian Sionists too.

Do not you realize your lobbying in favour of Israel is creating millions of American antisemites by the day and that the end result will be a new catastrophe for Jews?

That your lobbying on behalf of Israel is perfectly legal does not mean that most Anericans, fair minded Anericans, do not think it is excessive.

For example, most fair minded Americans believe that most Anerican politicians in the federal executive and legislative decide in favour of Israel even when the majority of Anericans disagree, such was and is the case with Israeli actions in Gaza, but you see it as just antisemitism, as hate of Jews for being Jews. In my opinion, that is an irrational conclusion which sets you, Sionists Jews and Christian Sionists, on a collision course with most Americans, a collision in which you will be in the losing side because, sooner or later, by the ballot or the bullet, the majority will impose its will.

To make matters much worse for you and for Israel, you double down in your actions to control and suppress criticism of your support for Israel.

One clear example is Larry Ellison buying Tik Tok US and CBS news in order to control what users of Tik Tok see or say about you and Israel.

Mr. Ellison: you have the right whatever yoy can but those purchases create more antisemites because they dovetail with the perception that you, the Jews, have already too much influence over politicians and now also want to control what we post and see on Tik Tok and what we watch in CBS.

Do you not see that actions such as those create more resentment and more antisemitism? Do you not see that the issue is rapidly evolving from criticism of Israel in Gaza to growing antisemitism in the US and that Larry Ellison action ads fuel to the antisemitism rocket?

Do not you see that the issue is not just anti Sionism or anti Israel but outright antisemitism, triggered by your unfair accusation that criticism of Israel is just antisemitism?

Do not you not see that it is irrational to believe that you, the Jews, who represent 2% of the American population can not prevail on any issue in which the majority thinks otherwise.

Even if you were right and critics of Israel and of Larry Ellison actions, and other actions by Jews, are motivated by irrational, foaming at the mouth antisemitic feelings, if the people holding such feelings constitute the majority you, the Jews in America, can not prevail because you are a tiny minority. No matter how accomplished Jews can never prevail, and history proves that over and over since the Pharaohs.

Never mind the stupid accusation tha Jews want to control the World, the facts speak the opposite, that the Jews, over and over are at the mercy of the non-Jewish majority, that is precisely what motivated Jews to re-create Israel.

But you are blowing it; somehow, and amazingly, you succeeded in creating Israel (thanks to the support of the British) but you continue to be at the mercy of non Jews.

Israel was made possible by non-Jews and Israel survives thanks to the support of the US.

Until Gaza, most Americans supported Israel when the issue was to help tiny Israel survive against the hundreds of millions of hostile Moslem Supremacists.

Up until Gaza the opinion of most Americans aligned with the decusions of Democrat and Republican governments in support of Israel, that alignment is now broken.

Unfortunately, and in a decision of unbelievable stupidity, so stupid that is suicidal, Jewish and Christian Sionists decided that millions of Americans who before supported Israel have now, for no good reason, turned into antisemites. It is absurd.

Most of those Americans who criticize Israel on Gaza agree what Hamas did on October 7 was horrible, and supported that Israel retaliate. What they disagree with is the manner in which Israel retaliated; they found it unjustified, excessive.

Unfortunately, Jewish Sionists and Christian Sionists reacted to criticism of Israel as if it was antisemitisn. While I am certain the antisemites were among the critics, most critics are not antisemites, they are fair ninded people who found Israeli actions excessive and also found excessive the US government actions and votes in support of Israeli actions in Gaza.

When those fair minded critics saw themselves being accused of antisemitism, many of them did turn into antisemites; they felt the accusation was not true.
Quite rationally, when anyone sees himself or herself being accused of what they are not, they turn on the accuser, they do not pretend that the accuser has said nothing.

Unfortunately, and correctly, when that happens you, Zionist Jews and Christian Sionists, accuse the new antisemites of being antisemites but are unable to see that it is your words and actions who turned them into amtisemites.

Because of the split between the opinion of most Americans and the decisions of US politicians, most non-Jewisn Americans are coming to the conclusion that American Jewish Sionists and Christian Sionists, have excessive influence over most US politicians.

Again you, Jewish and Christian Sionists, againbaccuse those people of being antisemitic.

We are now in a situation in which antisemitism is snowballing in the US.

We are hearing more and more voices saying: “ Jews have too much power”, “the government of Israel controls the US government”, etc.

No need to be a sharp observer to see this will end up badly for you, the Jewish Americans and for Israel.

There is at least one way to prevent an antisemitic catastrophe in the US.

American Jews, Sionists or not, who want Israel to survive, and Christian Sionists too, have to tell Israel: “we will stop all lobbying for Israel, except in a clear extreme situation in which the survival of Israel is in danger. Hamas is not such danger because they lack the power to do do”.

“From now on, Israel will not get any special treatment. Israel will have to lobby the US government like other lobbies but will not be able to count on the support of American Jews, no matter how rich or poor”.

“Us the American Jews, will act in ways that will show other Anericans we put America and Anericans before Israel and Israelis. Judaism is our religion and Jewish our culture but we are Americans, not Israelis”.

My suggestion to you American Jews and all Anericans is that to stop and reverse the demolicion of the credibility of the US government in the eyes of most Americans, to roll back the snowballing antisemitism, America needs “the Swiss amendment” to the US Constitution.

Such amendment transfers final decision making power over any issue that approxinately 1% of registered voters sign up to put it to a referendum. This means that the voters will become the final decision makers on, for example, the amount and type of assistance to Israel or any other country.

This amendment transfer all decisive power to the people from poluticians. Fir that reason, also forces the lobbies to lobby the public directly. The Israeli lobby could collect the signatures to put the issue of degree if support for Israel to a popular referendum. It is the democratic way to do it.

All lobbies will then kniw the politicians can only do what has the support of the majority of the voters.

Right now you, the Jews are doing nothing illegal, you just are very smart at lobbying, like at so many other things.

In fact, it is the US Constitution and the US Supreme Court who handed excessive power to piliticians and lobbies, “the Swiss amendment” fixes the “loophole”.

Most ntisemitism will go away too because I see antisemitism as a tribal issue. The majority tribe needs to feel in control of their government, land and destiny, when a minority tribe, in this case you, the Jews, acquires extraordinary influence, disproportionate to your numbers, even if it is the result of hard work and brains, the majority tribe will not accept that for the reasons I indicated, and sooner or later will act to take control back.

IN a real democracy suc tribal conflict would never arise because such democracy will have “government by the majority while respecting the minority but not at rhe expense of the majority.

The strategy of blaming on antisemitism the criticism of Israel on Gaza or of saying that Jews have too much influence over the US government when it comes to Israel, both are irrational because they create more antisemitism.

You, Jews also need to keep in mind that those politicians, including Trump, Biden, etc., who now so loudly support Israel, you do not know if they do so out of conviction or because they need Jewish donor money.

Many of them will quickly turn on you and Israel, or abandon both, once they see most voters have done that. I think it is starting to happen; some reports say “Jewish money”, “AIPAC money” is now toxic for political campaigns.

I see a lot of debate about Israel, Netanyahu, Sionism, amtisemitism, AIPAC, etc.

Sionism is the logical result of the repeated rejection and persecution of Jews since the Pharaohs.

Even if Sionism dies antisemitism will not. It will last as long as the Jews and as long as the Jews do not figure out one or both of the following; how to be truly accepted by the non-Jewish majority of the countries Jews live in and/or figure out a way to have a country that will be accepted by its neighbours because if it is not accepted by its neighbours such country will perish or have to rely on one or more powerful non-Jewish countries, countries that sooner or later will turn on the Jews, as we see the people of the US doing, although not the politicians.

Jews also have to figure out a way to avcept non- Jews as equals; as long as they cling to the irrational idea that somehow they are better people because, for example, there is a disproportionately high number of Jewish Nobel Prize winners, etc., and somehow that shows Judaism makes Jews superior, they will generate rejection.

It is irrational to consider, for example, Einstein, a superior human. He was a superior scientist but his owm life shows he was not superior at all, otherwise he would have had a happy first marriage instead of ending in the failure of divorce. He then married his cousin which, to me, shows he was not very good at socializing.

I think a big reset is needed among Jews and non- Jews but, for obvious reasons, it the Jewish minority who needs to make the majoe reset if they ever aspire at being truly accepted.

As for the Westerners, they need to accelerate de irrelevance and alien nature to our civilisation which rests on Classical Greek and, to a lesser extent Roman, thought. They also need to accelerate the irrelevance of Marxism and all its derivatives because it too isva dogmatic religion but with not even rhe moral brake of God.

The basis of our civilisation is humans, human reason should lead us to debate ideas and to decide by majority vote, ruling ourselves by our ability to reason, not by what any god or holy book tells us.

We are getting there but it takes effort because religion and marxism are dogmatic believes from above, both look down on the ability of humans to figure out things by ourselves and thus are intrinsically incompatible with democracy.

Religions do not like democracy because democracy rests on the idea that there are no god-given universal truths, that the people, through respectful debate have to figure out what is the right thing to do. Yes, the people will make some mistakes but the use of reason will develop further their ability to reason. Holy books, marxism or any other ideology based on revealed “truths” or the “inspiration” of one human will always end up becoming irrelevant because with the passage of time society changes.

The reason why many former believers in religion, marxism, etc., abandon them is because science, discoveres, reflections triggered by science and discovery, lead more and more people to decide religious and marxist dogmas make no sense.

The Greeks had it right; the citizens must debate and decide the laws, war, etc.

While Greek democracy, which meant government by the people, not gods, priests, kings or generals or aristocrats, was not perfect it was far ahead of any other society in terms of respect for humanity

Not just with respect to other contemporary societies like Jews, Romans, Persian, Macedonians, etc., but also with respect to all the so-called democracies of today. Such societies are not democracy by aristocracies of elected representatives and the rich.

Only Switzerland, where the citizens on their own inititiative can and do decide and nullify the decisions by politicians regarding any law or policy, at all levels of goverment, come close the Greek democracy.

So, if we want to diminish antisemitism we have some thinking to do.

Real democracy, Swiss style is a good step because it ensures the will of the majority of voters always prevails. It is impossible on Seitzerland to have the situation now present in so many countries in which the elected politicians and the lobbies often prevail over the will of the people.

Antiseminism is negñigible in Switzerland because an AIPAC, with so much imfluence over government, over politicians is not possible. In the Swiss system AIPAC would have to take the issue to the people. Im Switzerland AIPAC (its equivalent) would have to collect 1% of signatures of registered voters and call a referendum for Swiss voters to decide if the country should send to Israel x billions of dollars, sell weapons and how many, etc.

The Swiss people would decide for or against and that would settle the issue until another possible referendum overturns and modifies the decision.

If you want the Swiss system of real democracy you have to set aside your political ideas and joinc others to demand a radical and peaceful change to the decision making system in your town, state, province, region so that the people are the final decision makers, mot the politicians or even the highest court.

That is the real rehime change you need in your country.

For all his faults, Trump will likely be the guy whose tough standing up to Xi-CCP will take down the CCP.

He will likely take down also the weak Western leaders like Carnet, Macron. Starmer and Schulz who despise Trump but who not stand up for their peoples lile Trump does on immigration and bringing backs existencial manufacturing.

I predict the CCP will produce a leader to finish political uniparty Communism, just like Deng ditched ecomomic Communiss and accepted capitalism, unfortunately with nazi-like totalitarian and racial superiority overtones.

The CCP leader doing that will also turn to Taiwan to build the second Chinese democracy. A democracy which is now more democratic than other democracies because it incorporated in its constitution important provisions of direct democravy of the Swiss constitution.

Such regime change will turn China into the second pillar to turn the whole World democratic, but with Swiss style real people power.

Just imagine how great China will become with such switch.

The hard working and smart Chinese people will turn a democratic China into a center of science, technology, business, culture, etc.

Such China will be welcomed with open arms by the West as the essential partner to continue moving the World forward.

Dich changes in China will collapse Communism all over and will also collapse the crazy Islamists and, pretty soon, Russia.

Long live a democratic China!

By the all democracies need the Swiss system of direct authority of the people over politicians and castrated lobbies.

This will change nothing. New faces, same system of big donors in total control of elected politicians of both parties.

If you really want to fix your democracy, in the US, in Canada, UK, France, etc., the ordinary people, on the right, left and center, have to take to the streets and demand, relentlessly, until they get it, the still missing civil right; the right to directly stop any law or policy the politicians put in place, the right to force politicians to put in place any law, policy and change to the constitution the people want, the right to force a binding popular referendum on any of the above if about 1% of registered sign up and thus force rhe national goverment and other government levels to carry out such referendums.

The results of such truly denocratic referendums must be carried by the executive and the legislative and the highest court in the land will not be able to even evaluate the constitutionality of the referendum, let alone overturn it.

That is what the Swiss people did in the 1800s to wrestle control of their country, cantons (states), cities and towns off the hands of politicians and big money.

The result has been decade after decade the best governed and most prosperous democracy in the World.

The Swiss people are also and by far, rhe freest people in the World because they are free to decide the laws, the policies, the constitution that they have.

People in other democracies have the right to free speech and freedom of the press (sort of), the Swiss have the right to themselves decide the laws defining the level of free expression and any other law, policy or amendment to the constitution.

Until citizens have such right to decide, they are not free, they are controlled by the politicians and by the lobbies, the big money, the big business, the big media controlling the politicians.

The right power to decide is the pending civil right for all. Without it, all ordinary citizens of all races are second class citizens sitting at the back of the bus.

Who will be the black, white, hispanic, oriental, native or other who will be today’s Rosa Parks?

This powerlessness of all ordinary citizens is even more abomibable than depriving blacks of the right to vote. That injustice affected only blacks, depriving people of the right to decide is an abomination committed daily against blacks and all other citizens.

We pay, we must decide, voting to elect politicians and free expression is not enough!

It is obvious all democracies need regime update.

TheSwissPoliticalSystem.com

Anybody who opposes democratic capitalism, in which the voters decide who governs and those who govern do so to reflect the will of the people, there are social measures like universal health care, universal education, rule of law, freedom of expression to criticise government, independent judiciary and rule of law, but still thinks that Marxism, Communism, Socialism, Theocracy, Fascism, Aristocracy, Absolute kings, dictatorship by a political party, an individual, the military, religious authorities, etc., is emotional irrational.

One thing is to criticise and fix capitalist democracies where improvements and corrections are necessary and a completely insane, irrational, delusional thing is to want to dismantle capitalist democracy and institute ANY of other systems mentioned.

As examples of capitalist democracies we have all of Western Europe, Japan, North America, etc.

Among those democracies some need more improvements than others.

Examples:

The United States needs to institute universal health care which could be government financed and run like in many democracies or, like in Switzerland, privately run and financed by citizens, with government assistance if necessary.

The US also needs to change electoral finance laws giving control of the electoral process to rich lobbies and big coroirations. As a result big private money controls elected politicians and de facto by-passes the democratic process.

All democracies, with the exception of Switzerland, give all legislative and decision making power to elected politicians and judges and zero such powers to the people.

Income inequality is growing but not equally in all democracies. For example in Nordic countries income inequality seems to be much lower than the US, Canada and others. No, the Nordic countries are not socialist, they are capitalist, highly efficient and competitive where with the support of the majority of voters, including paying high taxes, governments have instituted universal health care, universal education, good programs to train and retrain workers, etc.

What all democracies need, with the exception of Switzerland because it already had them, is the possibily for the people to relatively easily launch binding referendums on ANY issue.

For example, even the Scandinavian countries would not gave the problems caused by inassimilable immigrants and refugees or, if they did, it would be with the clear consent of the people who chose not to launch a referendum to stop such immigration.

Democracy is not perfect but, as practiced by the Northern countries, even if the people do not have direct control of politicians, it is a sound system. As practiced in Switzerland, where the people do have direct control, it is even better.

In other words, one thing is to improve productive capitalist democracy and another to dismantle it and replace it with any of other irrationak antihuman systems mentioned at the beginning.

All countries on Earth should keep in mind what the CCP is about.
The CCP is composed of totalitarians, approximately 100 million of them, one in ten Chinese, who believe the irrational and inhumane ideology of Marxism-Socialism-Communism.
But it is not the only ideology like that right now, Islamism is its mirror image.

We have to remember the Chinese Communists at one point realized the obvious, that Marxism-Communism-Socialism does not work.

They should have learned that from the USSR, Eastern Europe, Cuba, etc., but they did not.

But they only learned, or wanted to learn half the leason. They learned that economic Socialism does not work.

In view of that they decided to adopt the capitalist economic system. They gave up on economuc socialism but not on political socialism because keeping political socialism meant they, the Marxists-Communist-Socialists woulf keep they, the members of the CCP, will keep their power and control of the other 90% of Chinese, more than 1000 million who do not belong to the party.

The elite of the CCP would also continue its billilnaire like privileges provided to them by the state and, even more interesting, themselves and their families could become real millionaires or bi.

They decided to allow private propety, private entrepreneurs, they decided to modernize China by adopting Western economic management ideas, science and technology, they were very happy to accept money- investments from the West (which includes Japan, Korea and others).

The rest is history, with those measures the CCP unleashed the intelligence and energy of the Chinese people to produce, export and increase their material standard of living exponentially.

But the corrupt totalitarian CCP could not resist to continue to its privileges, money and power and, instead of taking the logical next step, would be to look at the fellow Chinese of Taiwan and, like them transition from dictstorship to democracy, they could not bring themselves to lose their control and privileges.

To distract the people from the logical aspiration to be politically free, particularly after the massacre of Tiannamen, and who knows how many other killed and imprisoned, and to distract the people further, the CCP started to cultivate two deranged but emotionally attractive ideas for a number of Chinese.

These two deranged ideas are that China is naturally The Center of the World; a completely irrational claim as World history clearly prove early humans came from, surprise!, Africa, not Chine and, perhaps more decisive, the earliest and most advanced civilisations originated in the Middle East, imputs from India, an that culminated in Greek Civilisation which is the direct ancestors of Western civilisation and that brought about the key development in humanity; the human reasoning is the key to the progress of humanity, not the negation of god or the submission to any god.

It is obvious that China had to do, the CCP, had to, accept that they had to adopt Western civilisation while keeping some intrinsically Chinese things like the year of this or thar animal, the Chinese language, chinese cooking and, of course, Chinese history.

So, evidence shows China is an ancient important country but never the center of the World but “the center” of Eastern Asia, until it became obvious the Japanese too got ahead.

A nazi-like crazy twist the CCP adds to the irrational narrative of China being “The Center” is the idea that somehow, the Chinese are superior to all other nations.

Unforyunately for China, the CCP adds another irrational twist, that somehow, the “inferior” peoples of the West and Japan “humiliated” China when they dominated China.

They dominated China because China became weak from within, those other powers just did what comes naturally to the more powerful countries, they dominate the others.

The CCP is as irrational calling that period of foreign domination “a historic humiliation”, as it would be for today’s Germans or Italians to call their defeat in WW2 “a historic humiliation” and do, like the CCP does to the minds of the Chinese, rub those defeats in, not letting them forget and move on.

To make matters even more irrational, the CCP seems hellbent on undermining the West, particularly the US by any means.

Instead of being grateful that the West (and Japan) opened its markets, transferred to China lots of technology and know how with its investments.

Instead of beingva fair trader, the CCC cheats, steals and threatens. Threatens its neighbours around the South China Sea, threatens India with territorial claims and threatens the US, Europe, Japan, India, etc., with its control of rare earths and silver.

The reaction is predictable, those other countries have now given up on China as a big friendly power and decided to treat a CCP-run China as what it is, the existencial enemy.

Decoupling commercially and a military alliance is forming. Sooner or later, the CCP will have to go.

The CCP will go on its own, like it decided to abandon economic Marxism in Den Xiao Ping’s time, although Xi obviously lacks the wisdom to do it.

Another possibility is an uprising and over-throw of the CCP into the Yellow River and the garbage bin of History.

The former option, and orderly transition to freedom and democracy is much better.

Such transition would stop the commercial decoupling from China and also the growing military alliance against China.

China can do what the Chinese of Taiwan did, they abandoned dictatorship, peacefully, the totalitarian party in power, the Kuomingtang gradually gave up political power.

The result is Taiwan’s democracy, one of the best in the World. With little natural resources, Taiwan is far more prosperous than China., not to mention rights and freedom. Compared to the free Chinese of Taiwan, the Chinese in China are little more than the serfs of the European Middle Ages and the people of most Moslem countries today; “free” to submit, obey and work as told.

The Chinese of China should look at the Chinese of Taiwan as proof the Chinese are quite capable of prospering even more with freedom and democracy.

Witj freedom and democracy I see no reason why China can not become number one.

The Chinese of Taiwan have gone even further than the US, Canada and all other democratic countries in depth of democracy, except for one, Switzerland.

The people of Taiwan, the Chinese and native Austronesian, decided to deepen their democracy by incorporating one key aspect of the Swiss system; the right and power of the people at the national level to initiate and decide laws and policies that the elected politicians must carry out.

The Taiwanese system is not yet as broad or deep as the Swiss system, but it is enough so to make Taiwan more democratic than Japan, Australia, the US, Canada, all of Europe.

The people of Taiwan have a system that is much more like government by the people than those others.

The people of China should not be distracted by the turmoil in the democracies US and much of Western Europe. Their problems arise because the peoples of those nations do not have real power over their politicians, like the Swiss and the Taiwanese do, and also do the people of Uruguay in South America.

In the US, their constitution, for all its many virtues has a clear flaw; it gives politicians all executive and legislative power, no matter which party governs in Washington. Even if one party holds the presidency and the other one or both houses of Congress, executive and legislative power always rests in the hands of politicians, not the people.

To mess things up further, the US Supreme Court made an irrational decision some 20 years ago that handed the elections to big money. It did so when it decided that there would be no limits to money and other contributions to national electoral campaigns.

This has destroyed elections, put the elections in the hands of big corporstions and big privayr money.

That is so because no American politician can mount a competitive campaign without big money. Without big money his or her messages will be overwhelmed by the rivals

In effect, the only aspect of democracy the US keeps in reasobable shape is freedom of expression.

In Canada and the more serious democracies of Europe, the lobbies have not yet taken control of elections, although they have big influence.

Unfortunately, European democracies and the UK are weaker in the protection of freedom of expression, as we see in the UK, France and (again?) Germany.
Because the CCP is totalitarian party, it is idiotic of Carney to try to be friends with China. It is idiotic for a democracy to be friends with a murderous totalutarian regime. It is idiotic to break up the frienship with the country that is closest to Canada in all respects; culturally, linguistically, ethnically.

America is by far the country closest to Canada and the one that is indispensable for Canada’s prosperity and independence.

If tomorrow the US shut us out commercially we collapse.

Trump’s style is often terrible but Trump will pass and the natural frienship betwee Canada and the US will pass.

Besides, other than some tariffs, Trump has nothing terrible and still engaged in a new North America trade arrangement.

We all have to understand Trump has the legitimate goal of stopping a very aggressive CCP and also the logical goal of reindustrializing the US.

Carney is another version of Trudeau, a guy pragmatic enough to temporarily yield, for example on oil, but only temporarily, he remains committed to the globalist agenda of destroying the West, specifically the Anglo-Saxon countries and Europe with irrational massive immigration.

Trump’s style is often horrible but his goals are in the right place. Canada needs a Canadian style Trump who places first the economy, industry, culture and values of Canada and clearly tells all immigrsnts they have to assimilate or go. And also has to filter all immigrsnts under the criteris of assimilation; I do not care about the race ir beliefs too much but whatever the race of culture, EVERY immigrant has to make a explicit commitment, that if not honored will trigger automatic denaturalization snd expulsion, to respect the believes of current Canadians and to adapt his beliefs to Canada’s values and customs.

For example all Communist and Islamists have no place in Canada because they are enemies of democracy. Communists want to destroy everything to create the proven lunacy of the promised land of a communist country, the Islsmists also pursue the lunacy of imposing Islam, another absurd promised land as all Islsmist countries prove.

If immugrants do not accept renouncing and adapting their beliefs, values and behaviours to Canada they are an intrinsically destructive force.

Communism and Islamidm have to be banned as intrinsic enemies of our founding cultures and values, of freedom and of democracy.

If Carney had any cojones he would tell Xi: “we would like to have better ties with you, but we can not because your m totalitarian government and oppression is not acceptable to us”.

Yes, the US, Canada and the rest of democracies need the Swiss system or, at least the Taiwanese or Uruguayan system; voting to elect is not enough, we the peoples all need the power to choose to vote to decide directly. We pay, we should decide, in China and Rusdis and Ukraine and Israel and Gaza too.

Just imagine a World in wich China and the US and the rest are real Swis style, or at least Taiwan style democracies.

For example, the US would not suffer the crazy divisions provoked by politicians, immigration, deinsdustrialization or reindustrialization laws ans policies would be decided by the people directly, so would be the level og government debt.

The CCP is taking China to the final humiliation.

I think many miss an important point. The point is that the emerging power, China, is a dictatorship, basically an illegitimate government tha fears its own people. In China, it is obvious the the government fears and does not trust the people and the people fear and do not trust the government.

Furthermore, the only factor that keeps the CCP in power is the increase of prosperity and power that the CCP has brought, so far, but that is rapidly slowing.

The problem is the Chinese regime has made a fatal mistake; instead of being honest with the prosperous nations of the West, Japan, India, etc., included. Countries who trusted the CCP, opened its markets to China, invested billions in China, transferred billions of technology and know how to China, transferred millions of jobs to China, etc., and trusted that China would become a fair trader, the CCP betrayed those countries.

I do not know if the Chinese peopke really carry such resentmenr of the West that could not resist being deceitful and dishonest and using the growing power of China, not just to become a dishonest trader but also to directly undermine democracies, particularly the US with spies, drugs, stealing science and technology, etc.
Or the problem is the CCP who exploits crazed nationalism by talking about the Chinese being a superior people who have been humiliated by the “inferior” West and Japanese, obviously irrational stuff because humiliation by the inferior is not possible.

Predictably, the democracies, particularly the US woke up and the reaction started; basically we have to bring manufacturing back because China is the enemy.

As the logical hostility towards China grows, the CCP, instead of responding with friendly and fair policies on trade, investments, etc., has responded with more aggression; by restricting rare esrths exports and now of silver, not to mention its aggressive policies towards Taiwan and the countries around the South China Sea.

In orher words, we are at war with China.

A huge military and industrial alliance is forming against China, and it includes the whole West, India, Japan and others. Even Russia will ditch Putin and join because the Russians know the CCP salivates over resource rich Siberia.

In orher words, the choice for China is clear; either it becomes a fair dealing democracy and joins the civilized democratic nations of the East and the West or the war will continue to the bitter end.

The US has already taking clear steps by pushing its companies to bring manufacturing back, by initiating the devaluation of the dollar to make the US more attractive to manufacture, but it us also acting more directly against China, for example, banning certain products, restricting exports of certain technologies, patrolling the South China sea more, forming the military alliance.

But also the US is going further, for example, by kicking the Chinese out of Panama and Venezuela.

It also looks like the US is going after China in Iran.

The Chinese must know that the West, particularly the US, is going after the CCP because only a free and democratic China will become a fair trader.

The CCP can avoid a huge historical humiliation to the Chinese people, and even the break up of China, by doing to itself politically what the CCP of Den Xiao Ping did to itself economically.

Den Xiao Ping ditched economic marxist dictatorship, and turned China into a capitalist dictatorship, authoritatian politically but productive, more or less like nazi Germany, including the racial superiority nuttiness.

If the CCP does not fade away, or if the Chinese people do not throw it into the Yellow River, there will be hot war with the US and its allies.

Among the first steps will be the Americans and its allies, including Israel, (sayonara to the Palestinian state) cutting off oil, food and uranium supplies to China and it will be over pretty soon.

In other words, it is possible that the West is decaying but what the West and its allies will not tolerate, and are prepared for all sacrifices to save their freedoms, just like they did with the Nazis and the USSR.

The skirmishes Trump provokes with his stupid aggressive style will not distract the civilized nations from the fact that Trump is temporary and that the alliance against totalitarian China is necessary to prevent becoming serfs of the CCP regime, just like the people of China are.

Those who wish or seem resigned to China under the CCP becoming the World dominant power are wrong. As long as the CCP is in charge it will not happen. It will be prevented my massive war if necessary.

A democratic, fair dealing could become dominant power but it will have to be as a fair dealing democracy, not as a totalitarian empire.

By the way, those who refer to the “American empire” are irrational. The US makes some stupid mistakes, like bombing Libya, or going into the second Gulf War.

But was not the first war against Irak justified after Saddan invaded Irak?

Did the US dominate the nations of Western Europe as an empire? Did any Western nation experience a revolt against the US like Hungary or Chekoslovakia against the Evil Empire? Did America punish or attack France when lunatic De Gaulle pulled France off NATO? Did the Americans humiliate or exploit Germany of Japan after WW2 or did the Americans allow all kinds of imports from both countries although between both, with their supetior products, practically destroyed may key US industries, like cars, etc.? Let us be rational about the US.

And Ray Dalio is wrong, the Chinese do not thing long term. The CCP is as short term as you can get; always thinking in terms of intrigues among factions, always fearing the people. Xi thinksbin terms of surviving politically until 2028.

If China thought long term it would not act as dishonestly and agressively against its trading partners and provoke the reaction it has provoked.
