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.

It is not the politicians, the progressives, the conservatives, the far right, the far left, the rich, big business, the lobbies or the unions, it is the system, stupid!

I suggest to mainstream media and youtubers and rumblers, to hold events , discussion of imporyant isdies, like hovernment debt.
Invite to such discussion political and business perdonalities and experts, but also bring one or two ordinary citizens independent voters and perhaps small business owners who would let you, the other guests and the audience know what ordinary citizens, ordinary employees, small business owners, think about how the capitalist and political elites are managing most democracies (not interested in people from any totalitarian-authoritarian regime because all they say is propaganda or lies motivated by fear).

I suggest you also bring another special guest or two from Switzerland, one could be a politician from the left, one from the right, or perhaps just two ordinary Swiss taxpayers, or perhaps an independent expert, or perhaps a Swiss citizen originally from the US.

I think if you do this, the meetings would be enlightening for you, for the other guests, for the elites of other democracies and the general public, and thus help avoid another crazy ecplosion of anger like the one at the Halloween party for the elites held at Madame Guillotine’s place, as well as another episode of persecution/expulsion/killing of Jews, etc.

If the elites do not listen to the people, not because the people in the elite are bad people, but because we do not have the institutions and mechanisms to ensure the elites listen to the people and make decision in tune with the majority of ordinary citizens.

If the ordinary citizens do not have the powet and mechanisms to peacefully impose on the elites the will of the majority whenever the majority so decides, then it is inevitable we will repeat another episode of the anger of the people exploding in rational and irrational ways.

The Swiss model ensures peaceful evolution and peaceful handling of crisis.

This is so because the Swiss system ensures anger will never reach the ignition temperaure necessary to cause a violent social explosion.

The Swiss system is like a self regulating mechanism; when the people are concerned about ANY law, policy or isssue, any action or inaction by government or business, then any citizen or group of citizens can initiate the process to bring about a democratic decision by the people.

For example, if the US had the Swiss system, the issue of government debt.

If politicians can not tackle if for (understandable) electoral reasons, the people could make the decision themselves, even specifying how to reduce the debt and prevent future excess debt.

This means that if Swiss citizens see the debt is becoming too high and politicians seem unable to do what needs to be done, the Swiss people are not reduce to blaming the politicians and see that no matter who is in power the debt continues to be excessive, what the Swiss people do, instead of blaming politicians, the elites, etc., the Swiss people get a binding referemdum under way and themselves decide, and not even the highest court in the land can overturn the decision.

In the Swiss system it would as irrational to blame politicians for the government debt (or anything else) as it would be for you to get angry at the hotel because the water is too hot in the shower when all you have to do is turn the temperature down yourself.

In fact, that is what the Swiss people did a few decafes ago to fix the government debt for good.

World trade and trust has been destroyed by the CCP.

Instead of using the opening of the wralthy world markets to develop China and bring prosperity to China, it used the opening to cheat, steal, trade unfairly.

Furthermore, it used its growing power to throw its weight around in the South China Sea, against India and to undermine the West (which includes Japan).

Tje inevitable reaction is that China has scared everybody and the resoult is decoupling from China.

The other nations are also realizing that CCP-run China is an existencial threat are they are developing a huge military and commercial alliance that with or without war will destroy the CCP.

To make matters worse, China’s childish arrogance, with its decidions restricting rare earths and now silver, has made it obvious, even to US Democrats, that China can not be part of the community of nations as longcas the CCP and its irrational, Hitler-like homicidal-suicidal policies dominate China.

The CCP has cultivated hate of the West and the crazy idea China is superior; how can it be superior if it has had no choice but to accept and make its own all Western ideas about science, technology, governance, business, etc.

Unfortunately, still holds on to Communist dictatorship, the worst idea ever produced by the West, instead of opting for Taiwan style democracy.

One of these day we will wake up to another Den Xiao Ping who will bring, democracy, press freedom, freedom of expression to the Chinese people. A people I believe they are intelligent enough to deserve and prosper in democracy.

Once that happens the West could not care less if China “ makes everything”.

Sooner or later most Chinese will realize the CCP is the barrier that prevent China from becoming a really great nation.

To cozy up to Chima and split from the US is a decision that if not radically reversed will turn Canada into China’s banana republic. Idiotic, China under the CCP is the worst version of a dictatorship; productive and oppressive, much like nazi Germany, including racial superiority overtones.

Canada’s friendship with CCP-run China is like an innocent girl dating a serial rapist but she expects not to get raped because she is a nice girl. Totally nuts, irrational. Trump is a nuisance but will pass in 3 years, the CCP will continue to be an oppresive dictatorship.

Any idiot can see how the CCP treats the Chinese people, not just the Uyghurs and Tibetans, how do Canadians think the CCP will treat non-Chinese peoples?

Remember also CCP-run China is motivated by emotional revenge feelings towards the West and Japan; somehow they cannot bring themselves to the fact that, for watever reason, it turned out China was not the center of the World, that the center of the World was always Southwest and West of China and by several thousand years.

They can not accep they fell behind because the West pulled ahead, so much so that in desperation they had to turn to the West to improve the lives of the Chinese people.

They blew it big in their first attempt, when they felñ for Marxism-Socialism-Communism, one of the craziest but most persuasive ideas the West ever produced. Of course it brought to China what it brings to all societies who fall for Communism; misery, poverty and massive killings.

Finally, Deng Xiao Ping woke up and ditched economic Communism, surremdered to the West, which includes Japan and welcomed Wester companies, science, technology, education and business management but, irrationally, the CCP tells the Chinese people “we are superior, the West pulled ahead but it is an anomally, China is still the center”.

Such thinking will only end up in one way; with the Chinese people suffering the final humiliation at hands of all the major democracies, including India. The Democracies will be joined by Russia, once the Russians figure out China salivates at the sight of Russia’s tasty, juicy, soft Siberian underbelly chokefull of resources.

Perhaps this final humiliation will break China up and we will enjoy in the World several wonderful Chinese democratic nations.

Canada is dealing with the Devil; remember the illegal detention of Canadians, Tiannamen, the Uyghurs, Tibet, Hong Kong, Taiwan, the South China Sea, how China treats its neighbours and all other nations; to steal from them, to intimidate them, to blackmail them.

The CCP has to go, just like the Ayatollahs of Iran have to go and Putin has to go.

On Western Civilisation ( the civilisation the whole World is joining) and China under the Creepy Communist Party.
Agree with much of what Sarah Paine says in her interview in @decodinggeopoliticspodcast, but for one thing; Christian values are not the foundation of our civilisation. Christianity, never mind Jesus nice words, is a totalitarian concept, like Judaism, Islam, Communism and Nazional Socialism (Nazional Communism). Of course, the religions are not usually as bad as the political movements, but they have pretty killing moments.
Each is totalitarian because each rest on the irrational idea that each has The Truth (the answer to all all humanities problems) and that the answer is psychological (spiritual), which is absurd.

It is because of that belief each has that they hate each other and any other religion; to the Christian believer to the Jewish believer, to the Moslem believer, to the Communist believer to the Naxi believer, all other believers are wrong and/or evil.

The Western Europeans civilized themselves and European Jews with the Greeks, and did the same to the whole World. The job not finished, but almost there. The Chinese dumping the CCP will be a big leap forward.

Chrisianity did not bring to the West, to the World, the Renaissance or the Enlightenment, those happened when Europeans came across Greek Reason and Freedom, the rest is history.

Christianity did not bring to the Romans and the rest freedom, innovation of prosperity, it brough the Dark Ages and the Inquisition

European Christians recivilized themselves to the Greek values of freedom of thought (instead of submission to holy books, dogma, God, etc.)

All of Western civilisation is the continuation of the Greek Reason that our ancestors of the Renaissance had the good sense to recognize.

We still have not caugjt up fully to the Greeks, otherwise religion woulf be far less important by now, and we would have real democracy in which people directly, not elected officials, would make the key decisions.

What we have are elected aristocracies.

Elected aristocracy is a huge step forward from theocravy, divine kings, führers, popes, imans, ayatollahs, general secretaries of the communist party or assorted dictators, but it is not democracy.

The only modern country that could claim to be a real democracy is Switzerland.

Inspired by the Swiss, the Chinese of Taiwan and the Spanish of Uruguy have taken steps in the same direction.

In the US, California and a number of other US states took steps in the same direction, unfortunstely nothing was done at the federal level, and the US, like all other so-called democracies, is stuck with and by elected aristocracy, and demential electoral laws that hand power over politicians to the big donors.

Another thing we would not have if we had caught up to the Greeks fully, would be political parties who, in fact, are similar to religions, each with its preconceived idea of how to deal with any issue; instead of just Reason and Facts.

What humanity needs is Reason and Facts, not ideologies; how should we orgamize ourselves democratically, how to apply Reason to disease, to death, to hygiene, to alleviate suffering, how to grow food, how to make life safer and more comfortable, etc., no by irrational preconceived “solutions”.

It is the Greeks who, by reasoning and by pushing the gods aside, by having gods with the good sense of not sending down prophets or holy books that the ancient Greeks towered above all other peoples on Earth and reset humanity.

While China has joined Western civilisation and its science and technology, still is stuck in “religious” political thought, this time in the form of official Atheism who can not tolerate other beliefs.

To make matters worse, the Chinese of the mainlanf are being indoctrinated with the idea that they are superior, some even talk of racial superiority. The fact is China fell way behind the West all by themselves.

Of course, the Chinese people have the capacity of being number one, but it will be because they joined Greek thought.

The Chinese of Taiwan demonstrate they are capable of producing great prosperity and great democracy. Those in the mainland are stuck in totalitatian Nazional Socialism, one of the craziest ideas the West ever produced.

If China does not ditch the Creepy Communist Party, there will be a war that China will lose for obvious readons. It will deliver to itself the humiliation it needs to become a great free country.

In the meantime we should all do all we can to bring real Greco-Swiss democracy to our mostly corrupt elected aristocracies.

Deranged/Corrupt youtubers posing as independents.

Watching the Jimmy Dore Show. Scott Ritter and other shows, on the right and the left, it is hard not to conclude that the people running those shows are not dominated by JDS (Jewish Derangement Syndrome), self hate and hate of the West or on the take from the CCP (Creepy Communist Party) and others.

They shoot in all directions against the US and the West and Israel. If they shooted at Israel on Gaza or at Trump for his threat of invading Iceland, it could de understood but they never shoot in the direction of the likes of China, Iran, Russia or Cuba, or the deranged Islamist Supremacists.

This is the latest example:
It is obvious the protests in Iran are massive but Jimmy Dore and others, instead of criticizing the deranged totalitarian Ayatollahs he comes up with the idea the protests are engineered by Israel and the US, by the Mossad and the CIA.

Even if the Mossad and the CIA are involved, which is possible, the size of the protests is such that it is obvious there is massive discontent. If the Mossad and the CIA are able to engineer sup protests without massive discontent among Iranians, it could only be explained if you believe most demonstrators are idiots and there is no real basis for the protests.

None of those jerks say anything negative about the regimes I memtioned. Nothing about the Uyghurs in China and the dissappearing Chinese critics of the CCP, nothing about Putin killing those opposing him, nothing critical of Cuba or Maduro’s Venezuela.

Nothing of the Iranian regime’s jamming of Starlink over Iran (by the way, it is a shame, close to treason, how Musk continues helping the CCP with continuous technology transfer to China and defending the CCP take over of Taiwan).

For these YouTube jerks, all evil in the World is caused by the US, by Israel, by the warmongers in Washington, by the Sionists.

As you listen to them you can not conclude other that if the US disappears, if the West collapses, if Israel and the Jews did not exist, everything woulf be fine.

The only conclusion you can draw from what they say and from their silence is that a World in which China, Russia and the Islamists dominate would be Disney’s: “It is a wonderful World”.

Someone should analyze and investigate those youtubers in detail.

To Peter Schiff and the rest of bright investors and wealthy people, to Joe Rogan and the rest of level headed independent media personalities:
Peter Schiff is right; Powell lies, Trump lies, Biden lies, Obama lies, Pelosi lies, Speaker Mike Johnson (R) lies, Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R) lies, Hakeem Jeffries (D) lies, Majority Leader John Thune (R) lies, Chuck Grassley (R) lies, Democrat’s leader Chuck Schumer (D) lies, Whip Dick Durbin (D) lies, Adam Schiff lies (I hope Peter Schiff not related)

We all know they lie, but they lie to try to win elections or not to lose then, because politicians in the US and other democracies have too much power and that is a huge motivation to lie.

To drastically reduce their lying, reduce polarization in Washington and also between ordinary Republicans and democrats, the remedy is to drastically reduce the power of politicians and the lobbies who control them with the money they “donate” to politicians and parties during elections.

The way to do ir is by bringing to the US “the Swiss amendment”, which drastically transfers final executive and legislative authority from politicians to voters.

You see, any ordinary Swiss citizen can initiate the process to take ANY law or policy in their town, city, canton (state) or the nation to a binding referendum whose results politicians must carry out.

Examples are the level of government debt, any budget, taxation, health care, etc.

It is the Swiss political system that creates the superior prosperity and stability the Swiss people enjoy. It is a better system for ordinary people and for the wealthy.

Besides your great contribution you make wirh comments and services, you would make an even greater contribution to your lives, the life of your children and the lives of ordinary and wealthy Americans if you guys and girls took the trouble to learn the Swiss system and explain it to ordinary and wealthy Americans.

The Swiss are the only first class citizens in the world because, besides having the freedom and power to elect representatives, they have the freedom and the power to decide, by means of referendums initiated by the citizens themselves, ANY issue, any law (including the Constitution), any policy, any decision made by elected politicians or top bureacrats.

Furthermore, any citizen or group of citizebs can draft the proposal to the rest of citizens to decide the issue.

Furthermore, the politicians can not stop the process and must carry out the decision by the people.

Furthernore, the Swiss Supreme Court can not even consider a decision to see if it is “constitutional”; by definition the democratic decision by the people IS constitutional.

Furthermore, the number of signatures if registered voters required to launch a referendum is so low that the Swiss vote on referendums four times each year every year.

Furthermore, most vote from the comfort of their homes by mail.

Furthermore, they initiate referendums to decide local, cantonal (cantons are like states, provinces or autonomous regions) and also at the federal national level.

Furthermore, this final power to decide anything has made the Swiss voter directly reslobsible for what happens in his/her town, canton and the whole country.

Furthermore, the Swiss found out that when final decision making power rests on their shoulders they do not rely on the speeches (more or less contaminated by demagoguery, promises and ideological and partisan bias) of all politicians of all parties like the citizens of other countries have to. Because the Swiss voters knows they are responsible, that they can not blame politicians for the fate of their towns ( even villages), cantons and the whole country, when an issue goes to referendum interests them they take the time to inform themselves about the issue by discussing the issue with friends, familiy, colleagues at work and also by listening to experts.

As a result, the Swiss do not fall for demagogues; they do not fall for fascist, marxist, progressive or regressive demagogues.

Furrhermore, because Swiss politicians and top bureacrats at all jurisdictional levels, know that people can overrule them and can also force the politicians to put in place and policies, all Swiss politicians have learned they have to govern by being in tune with the values and concerns of voters.

Furthermore, the Swiss find that because most Swiss voters are responsible and intelligent mothers and fathers, husbands and wives, employees and employers, professionals, neighbours, citizens, drivers, etc. , it is obvious they will vote responsibly because they are directly responsible for the way any important or controversial issue is resolved.

Furrhermore, because the voters are the final authority and politicians know, respect and accept that, the Swiss people have more confidence in their politicians and governmen than anywhere else and are very satisfied with the Swiss political system.

Furthermore, the Swiss system manages lobbies better than any other.

In Switzerland, any lobby, any rich individual, any big company, any big union, any big professional association, know that it is not worth trying to control politicians or parties with big “donations” to political campaigns or by offering them very cushy corporate jobs when they retire, or millionaire book deal or hundreds of thousands of dollars for speeches, etc., because politicians just lack the power they have in other systems.

Furthermore, by drastically limiting the power of the executive and legislative branches of ALL governments, the system also drastically reduces political polarisation and division.

Furthermore, the Swiss have found out that the system forces the major political parties to work cooperatively in the legislative and the executive. Those parties represent about 80% of the electorate. This means that anything politicians decide in this cooperative manner is likely to be acceptable to the vast majority of voters on the right, left and center.

There is a lot more to the Swiss system.

What it is obvious is that it is the only real democracy because it is close to the real ancient Greek democracy. It is also obvious that what we refer to as democracies (including the US constitutional representative republic) are not democracies but elected aristocracies heavily influenced, even cobtrolled, by lobbies.

It is also obvious that the citizens of those countries are second class citizens because they vote to elect representatives but they can not directly decide any law, policy, treaty, etc., the politicians decide everything or, in some cases, the judges decide, as we see now with Trump’s tariffs.

In such countries, not only they do not have anything close to the essence of democracy, which is government by the people, what they have is government by the elected politicians OVER the people.

Such democracies have, in the best of cases, freedom of expression and free media, which the politicians, parties and lobbies tolerate but not support and even oppose and suppress if the expression of the people is contrary to the will of the politicians and “too” popular.

We can see that in the US, Canada, UK, France, Australia, Germany, etc., where people are punished in varius ways for expressing opinions. For example by blacklisting them from jobs, closing their accounts in social media and video platforms, even jailing them for their opinions, not unlike totalitarian-authoritarian regimes.

It is obvious such countries do not even respect freedom of expression like democracies are supposed to.

Then we have the authoritarian, totalitarian, dictatorial regimes run by communists, fascists or religious authorities.

The likes of China, Vietnam, Russia, North Korea, Iran, Saudi Arabia, etc., in them the people do not even have the power to decide who rules, freedom if expression or, much less the power to cancel any law or policy, or to directly order those in power to put in place a new law or policy.

In such countries the people are third class citizens, perhaps not even citizens, they are more like serfs, forced to work and be quiet, not much above working animals, even if they are rich.

It is time for others to take to the streets, peacefully but relentlessly, like the Swiss did in the 1800s, and invert the pyramid of power, putting people on top.

What is wrong with Trump? What is wrong with his team? What is wrong with US politicians?
Based on what the Trump administration is saying about Greenland, Trump has to go or change.

Yes, the Democrats are basically anti America, they have been taking over by Marxists, quick buckers and opportunists, they should not govern anything in the US.

BUT:
It is irrational to try to protect US interests by invading a peaceful country and ally.

One thing is to get Maduro and a very different one to threaten to invade Greenland. Greenland is part of the democratic Kingdom of Denmark a friendly country to the US and also a NATO ally.

I am even more scared than Trump is about the CCP totalitarians running China and also about deranged Putin, but the way Trump is going about it is irrational.

Trump is destroying relationships with allies, even scaring them, also scare friends and neighbours like Canada and Mexico.

He is pushing ordinary Canadians, Mexicans and others to fear the US. Sure they fear China and Russia but they are too far to invade Canada and Mexico, right now, most rational Canadians and Americans, are starting to fear the US.
He is pushing all neutral and friendly countries, like Europeans and others to seek accommodation with Putin and Asians with Russia and China.

I support Trumps goal of controlling legal and illegal immigration, to expel illegals, to impose tariffs to grow American manufacturing because manufacturing is a security and survival issue.

I also support decisions to stop woke, transgenderism, etc.

Unfortunately, I think Trump has lost his mind, this is how I rationally it might have happened:

Trump was a proud man but used to negotiate, to give and take, to get deals done. He has proven that in his many real estate deals in New York, the US and even around the World but something has snapped. What he is saying and threatening to do is not normal.

That proud man had to defeat the corrupt US establishment who hates him, likely stole the 2020 election from him and tried to ruin him financially and even jail and kill him.

I am no psychologist but the stress he has had to suffer would crack most humans. Admirably, he resisted and prevailed by decisively winning the 2024 election. But that does not mean that the persecution and attempt to kill him, have not affected him.

There is a possibility his amazing survival has pushef him into believing that, somehow, he is above mortals.

On the other hand he also saw how he had to accept money from the hyper rich, like Musk and Sheldon Adelson’s widow and many others to win the election.

Then you also have the harsh reality that Trump’s Atlantic City casinos went belly up, while Adelson’s casinos in Las Vegas prospered, showing Adelson was a much better businessman than Trump.

Not only that, having to accept Adelson’s money to win the election can not be an easy emotion to digest for a proud man like Trump.

Then you have the hard reality that even having a clear mandate from the people liberal-Democrat judges and politicians oppose every single action he takes to carry out his mandate.

This shows him he can not do what the people want him to do.

Then you have the issues in which he had to eat humble pie when he saw that the lobbies, particularly the Israeli lobby and, control most politicians because they control the electoral process and control most politicians, like to some extent happened to him in 2016 and 2024.

In 2016 Adelson was the largest donor to the Trump campaign. In 2024 his widow was the second largest donor.

Musk was the largest but Musk clearly donated for patriotic reasons and was personally involved in the campaign, risking huge business consequences.

The Adelsons donated probably for patriotic reasons, because of honest political conviction to help the US, but it is also well known they are huge supporters of Israel because they are Jewish, which makes sense and as Jews want Israel to survive a safe place for Jews and even themselves and their family.

In other words, it is not illogical to believe the Adelsons are great supporters of the US but that when it cones to Israel, they expected Trump to put Israel first on issues they considered vital for Israel, even if they were contrary to what other Americans consider American interests.

Americans who might even support US military action to save Israel, but who resent that the US sends so much money to Israel when Israel is some important areas is clearly ahead of the US, like universal health care, less costly education and better pensions, not to mention infinitely lower social conflict and stress.

In other words, proud Trump had to eat humble money pie dished out by Musk, Adelson and many others.

Once in power had to bow big time to the American political lobbies; in the Middle East conflict, the Epstein files, foreign students, (including enemy Chinese students), the H1B visas, etc.

At some point, Trump realized that in the political game within the US he had to, like most other presidents and other politicians, hand over his political balls to the lobbies.

To get his balls back, at least one, Trump decided he can be tough on tariffs, even against allies, on NATO, on Venezuela (where he did the right thing), but also suggesting Canada should be part of the US and now, even threatening to invade Greenland, a territory which is part of Denmark, a US friend, a solid democracy and NATO ally.

It is obvious to me Trump has snapped.
It could be his pride just can not handle the attacks and humiliating prostration before the lobbies.

It does not look good to enhance his credibility and character to see his family involved in deals that may not be formally corrupt but stink, like his crypto coin and other business deal of his family which are related to his political power.

Himself, his wife his family can not feel very good seeing this ongoing humiliation.

There is also the possibility Trump’s brain is deteriorating; his age and his genes could be a factor here because his father developed serious cognitive decline in old age, not clear if it was dementia or other health issue.

My bottom line is that, in spite of his amazing accomplishment of surviving attacks from all sides and winning two elections, the tine has come for Trump to go or seek the counsel of his wife, children and loyal supporters and consider radically filtering what he wants to say beforehand or resign; in his current path is doing great damage to the America he loves and to Americans.

The current Democrats are the enemy within but if Trump continues this way he is politically helping them, just like the Democrats irrational statements and policies helped him.

The midterms could destroy Trump’s presidency and push the US to disaster if Congress falls into the hands of the current anti America Marxo-Democrats running the Democrat Party.
The permanent fix is the Swiss system; seven senior ministers selected by the 4 major parties in parlament (representing 80% of voters, run the country.

Further more, Swiss voters can take any law, any issue to a binding referendum and its result can not be overturned by the executive, the legislative or the highest court in the land.

The system proves, decade after decade, for more than 150 years, that when ordinary citizens directly decide, bypassing politicians and parties, they make better, more balanced and really democratic decisions.

Under “the Swiss amendment to the Constitution no longer Americans, Canadians, British, French, Danes, Germans, Japanese, etc., would be managed and controlled by politicians, parties or lobbies, or the Supreme Court

Instead, the people in cities, states, provinces and nationally decide any important or controversial issue and their decision is final until in another binding referendum years later, the people themselves overturn or modify their decision.

No more issues with the health of the top guy, no more issues with politicians not keeping promises (or bribing voters with their own money), or lobbies controlling the system.

But to bring “the Swiss Amendment”, people like Joe Rogan and many other influential and generally unbiased people on the Left and the Right, have to get of their air conditioned asses an brains and start to educate Americans to bring about “the Swiss revolution” and like Swiss, enjoy real government by the people and for the people.

Ultimately, ordinary Americans of all ideologies compatible with democracy, have to take to the streets peacefully but relentlessly until the politicians yield. The politicians, the lobbies, the Supreme Court will oppose the change because all lose a lot of power.

Would not be better if from your home, by mail, you decide 4 times per year any issue ANY group of citizens puts before you after 1% of registered voters signed up to put the issue to a final decision be the people?.

Local, state, provincial, regional issues are decide in this way by the people and the people being fully responsible for the decision; no longer blaming politicians or lobbies.
Get going!

Of course, under the Swiss system, it does not matter much if one of the seven equal in the executive dies in bed or is killed, becomes corrupt or loses his mind. He or she is only one among seven, furthermore, the parliament quickly replaces him or her. Remember the Swiss executive and parliament and the Supreme Court are ruled over and overruled by the people if necessary.
