The Post-Cold War Apotheosis of Liberal Managerialism
#geopolitics #imperialism #war #totalitarianism
This includes uncovering some rather spectacular facts and quotes that I at least was unaware of, such as an open declaration by Bill Clinton’s National Security Advisor that America’s post-Cold War strategy would be to “pursue our goals through an enlarged circle not only of government officials but also of private and non-governmental groups,” including “private firms” and “human rights groups,” in order to fight the “intolerant energies of racism” across the planet and isolate “backlash states” “diplomatically, militarily, economically, and technologically.” Which is exactly the foreign policy chimera we got and still labor under decades later.
Or the fact that it was not some shadowy cabal of Blackrock and the UN that first invented manipulative “environmental, social, and governance” (ESG) investing standards, but the George W. Bush administration’s national security staff, who noted that private finance “could drive the isolation of rogue entities more effectively than governments” and predicted that “the banks will fall into line” once “our campaigns leveraged the power of this kind of reputational risk.”
Or the timely reminder that in 1989 the supposedly conservative Wall Street Journal declared its commitment to achieving the following constitutional amendment: “there shall be open borders.”

Looking at current western foreign policy writings, it's clear from their atiitude that the west is in full blown world-domination mode, openly talking about subjecting each and every country to its domination - and that with the same spirit of condescension that accompanied western missionaries to China in the 19th century resulting, in the Boxer Uprising and the wholesale slaughter of christian missionaries by the 13th Dalai Llama.
Then, as now, the west was trying to pry Tibet away from China, as part of its global balkanisation.
The modern versions of the Shanghai International Settlement are the special economic zones, followed by, as happened in China, the west claiming parts of such countries as spheres of influence.. there are even such plans for parts of Europe (trans-border economic zones). See also the ECSC
It's as if the 70 years between the 1919 war of intervention in Russia and Yeltsin;s coup was just an interruption - the imperial games can continue, this time as a cartel led by the USA and includes that mostrosity, the "personal union" of the House Of Windsor consisting of the second largest country in the world, a whole continent and lots of crown territories (Cyprus, Gibraltar .. the list is long). (the crown owns the sea bed around the British Isles).. and the broken EU - the UK's ambition of a manageable continent completed - Balance of Power.
And there's still Africa..

Paraguay protesters see dictatorship's legacy in entrenched right-wing party
by Associated Press
ASUNCIÓN, Paraguay --
It was one of the first actions taken by Paraguayans in public defiance
of their overthrown dictator, a military strongman who unleashed a
35-year reign of terror, killing hundreds of people and imprisoning
thousands more.
In a howl of dissent, crowds massed around the newly elected socialist
mayor of Asunción, Paraguay's capital, to tear down a bronze statue
honoring Latin America's longest-ruling dictator, Gen. Alfredo
Stroessner, two years after his 1989 ouster.
When the hulking metal finally came crashing down to a salvo of cheers,
Stroessner's large brass feet stayed planted on the plinth. Residents
joke it remains an unwitting symbol of his entrenched presence in
Asunción -- 70 years ago to the day on Thursday that he seized power
in 1954 coup and secured the virtually uninterrupted dominance of his
conservative Colorado party.
"Stroessner planted a seed, and that seed has germinated," said Emilio
Barreto, an 84-year-old unionist's son who was among nearly 20,000
Paraguayans estimated to have been tortured and imprisoned without
charge during Stroessner's rule. "Today we've been through 35 years of
dictatorship and 35 years of so-called democracy."
Those who pushed the process of democratization after Stroessner's
downfall said they had wanted to believe their country was on the
upswing, that its civic institutions were getting stronger.
But now activists say they've increasingly seen a trend in the opposite
direction.
In a rare eruption of public outrage on Thursday, hundreds of
protesters streamed through downtown Asunción, raising their fists and
chanting, "Never again, dictatorship."
"We're witnessing a curtailing of civil liberties," said Hugo Valiente
from Amnesty International in Paraguay, citing a series of recent
government moves that he said "have the clear purpose of discouraging
people from exercising freedom of association."
A government spokesperson and Colorado party members did not respond to
questions from The Associated Press.
Anxieties about democratic backsliding added urgency to the 70th
anniversary -- which also marks one year since President Santiago
Peña's inauguration.
Leading Thursday's protest was Paraguay's small but passionate
opposition -- including Kattya González, a center-left senator and
vocal government critic who was summarily booted from the Senate last
February.
She had garnered the third-most votes in last year's legislative
elections. But in a vote that rights groups said violated due process,
she was ejected by allies of former President Horacio Cartes, a
powerful cigarette tycoon sanctioned by the Biden administration for
corruption who remains president of the Colorado party.
"We don't see the popular will being reflected in our representative
bodies," González said. "That's why we're demonstrating today."
The government has chalked her expulsion up to the will of Congress,
where the Colorado party has a majority. In June, the party removed a
lawmaker from its ranks who had similarly spoken out against Cartes'
alleged corruption.
Last week, Paraguay even demanded that the United States accelerate the
departure of its ambassador after the White House imposed sanctions on
a tobacco company that it alleged had paid millions of dollars to
Cartes.
Cartes denies the allegations.
When Paraguay's senate last month rushed through a contentious bill
that expands government powers to audit nonprofits, the former mayor of
Asunción raised alarm, recalling the symbolic triumph of 1991.
"Let's remember the moment we knocked down the statue," Carlos
Filizzola said, "for its symbolism against what the dictatorship was."
The government said the bill aims to boost scrutiny of NGO finances to
counter money laundering. Critics said it mimics so-called nonprofit
transparency measures in place from Russia to Venezuela that send a
chill through civil society. The United Nations appealed to Paraguay's
lower house to reject it.
Experts argue that the past is still present in Paraguay because the
government hasn't reckoned with the legacy of Stroessner, who
entrenched the small South American country's highly unequal
distribution of land ownership and turned Paraguay into a smuggling
hub.
His enduring influence was never more obvious than in 2018, when
Paraguay elected then-President Mario Abdo BenÃtez, the son of
Stroessner's personal secretary who had served as a pallbearer at the
dictator's 2006 funeral.
"The totalitarian control of Stroessner created a real identification
between political party and the state," said historian Milda Rivarola.
"That's what made the Paraguayan political regime so special, the only
country on the continent that never really had a progressive
government."
Paraguay's left-wing opposition party held power just once -- from
2008-12 -- before its president's impeachment.
"In our country, this history of the dictatorship is hidden, there's no
policy of memory," said Rogelio Goiburú, who oversees efforts to
recover victims' remains for the Justice Ministry and whose father was
disappeared by the dictatorship.
Efforts to bring justice to those responsible for crimes against
humanity have been far more extensive in neighboring Argentina, where
courts have convicted hundreds of military officers of dictatorship-era
crimes and forensic teams have identified 800 victims.
But in Paraguay, there have been no blockbuster trials of junta
leaders. Public schools -- many still decorated with plaques paying
tribute to Stroessner -- avoid mention of the 20th-century dictatorship
in national history lessons.
The remains of just four victims have been identified with the help of
Argentine researchers. Goiburú said the Justice Ministry commission
has no budget or state support.
"I'm still putting up with everything because of that motto, 'Never
Again.' We do this so we don't lose our memory, so this doesn't happen
again," he said from a riverside park in dilapidated downtown
Asunción. In 1991, Filizzola, the former mayor, named it Plaza of the
Disappeared.
"That's why we have to continue," he said.

Russia’s descent into #totalitarianism: How it happened
It is difficult to pin down the exact moment that Russia began morphing into a totalitarian state, but the transformation didn’t take long.
For over a decade, the #Kremlin was taking away civil liberties and feeding the population a revamped and increasingly more aggressive version of #nationalism. For nearly a decade, most Russians didn't seem to care.
In 2012, the Kremlin ruthlessly ended the wave of #demonstrations known as the #Bolotnaya protests. Named for the square in Moscow where demonstrators gathered, the rallies began in December 2011, when thousands of Russians flooded the streets to protest against election fraud.

The Westminster Declaration
We write as journalists, artists, authors, activists, technologists, and academics to warn of increasing international censorship that threatens to erode centuries-old democratic norms.
Coming from the left, right, and centre, we are united by our commitment to universal human rights and freedom of speech, and we are all deeply concerned about attempts to label protected speech as ‘misinformation,’ ‘disinformation,’ and other ill-defined terms.
This abuse of these terms has resulted in the censorship of ordinary people, journalists, and dissidents in countries all over the world.
Such interference with the right to free speech suppresses valid discussion about matters of urgent public interest, and undermines the foundational principles of representative democracy.
Across the globe, government actors, social media companies, universities, and NGOs are increasingly working to monitor citizens and rob them of their voices. These large-scale coordinated efforts are sometimes referred to as the ‘Censorship-Industrial Complex.’
This complex often operates through direct government policies. Authorities in India[1] and Turkey[2] have seized the power to remove political content from social media. The legislature in Germany[3] and the Supreme Court in Brazil[4] are criminalising political speech. In other countries, measures such as Ireland’s ‘Hate Speech’ Bill[5], Scotland’s Hate Crime Act[6], the UK’s Online Safety Bill[7], and Australia’s ‘Misinformation’ Bill[8] threaten to severely restrict expression and create a chilling effect.
But the Censorship Industrial Complex operates through more subtle methods. These include visibility filtering, labelling, and manipulation of search engine results. Through deplatforming and flagging, social media censors have already silenced lawful opinions on topics of national and geopolitical importance. They have done so with the full support of ‘disinformation experts’ and ‘fact-checkers’ in the mainstream media, who have abandoned the journalistic values of debate and intellectual inquiry.
As the Twitter Files revealed, tech companies often perform censorial ‘content moderation’ in coordination with government agencies and civil society. Soon, the European Union’s Digital Services Act will formalise this relationship by giving platform data to ‘vetted researchers’ from NGOs and academia, relegating our speech rights to the discretion of these unelected and unaccountable entities.
Some politicians and NGOs[9] are even aiming to target end-to-end encrypted messaging apps like WhatsApp, Signal, and Telegram.[10] If end-to-end encryption is broken, we will have no remaining avenues for authentic private conversations in the digital sphere.
Although foreign disinformation between states is a real issue, agencies designed to combat these threats, such as the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency in the United States, are increasingly being turned inward against the public. Under the guise of preventing harm and protecting truth, speech is being treated as a permitted activity rather than an inalienable right.
We recognize that words can sometimes cause offence, but we reject the idea that hurt feelings and discomfort, even if acute, are grounds for censorship. Open discourse is the central pillar of a free society, and is essential for holding governments accountable, empowering vulnerable groups, and reducing the risk of tyranny.
Speech protections are not just for views we agree with; we must strenuously protect speech for the views that we most strongly oppose. Only in the public square can these views be heard and properly challenged.
What's more, time and time again, unpopular opinions and ideas have eventually become conventional wisdom. By labelling certain political or scientific positions as 'misinformation' or 'malinformation,' our societies risk getting stuck in false paradigms that will rob humanity of hard-earned knowledge and obliterate the possibility of gaining new knowledge. Free speech is our best defence against disinformation.
The attack on speech is not just about distorted rules and regulations – it is a crisis of humanity itself. Every equality and justice campaign in history has relied on an open forum to voice dissent. In countless examples, including the abolition of slavery and the civil rights movement, social progress has depended on freedom of expression.
We do not want our children to grow up in a world where they live in fear of speaking their minds. We want them to grow up in a world where their ideas can be expressed, explored and debated openly – a world that the founders of our democracies envisioned when they enshrined free speech into our laws and constitutions.
The US First Amendment is a strong example of how the right to freedom of speech, of the press, and of conscience can be firmly protected under the law. One need not agree with the U.S. on every issue to acknowledge that this is a vital 'first liberty' from which all other liberties follow. It is only through free speech that we can denounce violations of our rights and fight for new freedoms.
There also exists a clear and robust international protection for free speech. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)[11] was drafted in 1948 in response to atrocities committed during World War II. Article 19 of the UDHR states, 'Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.' While there may be a need for governments to regulate some aspects of social media, such as age limits, these regulations should never infringe on the human right to freedom of expression.
As is made clear by Article 19, the corollary of the right to free speech is the right to information. In a democracy, no one has a monopoly over what is considered to be true. Rather, truth must be discovered through dialogue and debate – and we cannot discover truth without allowing for the possibility of error.
Censorship in the name of 'preserving democracy' inverts what should be a bottom-up system of representation into a top-down system of ideological control. This censorship is ultimately counter-productive: it sows mistrust, encourages radicalization, and de-legitimizes the democratic process.
In the course of human history, attacks on free speech have been a precursor to attacks on all other liberties. Regimes that eroded free speech have always inevitably weakened and damaged other core democratic structures. In the same fashion, the elites that push for censorship today are also undermining democracy. What has changed though, is the broad scale and technological tools through which censorship can be enacted.
We believe that free speech is essential for ensuring our safety from state abuses of power – abuses that have historically posed a far greater threat than the words of lone individuals or even organised groups. For the sake of human welfare and flourishing, we make the following 3 calls to action.
We call on governments and international organisations to fulfill their responsibilities to the people and to uphold Article 19 of the UDHR.
We call on tech corporations to undertake to protect the digital public square as defined in Article 19 of the UDHR and refrain from politically motivated censorship, the censorship of dissenting voices, and censorship of political opinion.
And finally, we call on the general public to join us in the fight to preserve the people's democratic rights. Legislative changes are not enough. We must also build an atmosphere of free speech from the ground up by rejecting the climate of intolerance that encourages self-censorship and that creates unnecessary personal strife for many. Instead of fear and dogmatism, we must embrace inquiry and debate.
We stand for your right to ask questions. Heated arguments, even those that may cause distress, are far better than no arguments at all.
Censorship robs us of the richness of life itself. Free speech is the foundation for creating a life of meaning and a thriving humanity - through art, poetry, drama, story, philosophy, song, and more.
This declaration was the result of an initial meeting of free speech champions from around the world who met in Westminster, London, at the end of June 2023. As signatories of this statement, we have fundamental political and ideological disagreements. However, it is only by coming together that we will defeat the encroaching forces of censorship so that we can maintain our ability to openly debate and challenge one another. It is in the spirit of difference and debate that we sign the Westminster Declaration.

i tend mention only 3 of these (or 4 with an unmentioned* one) when trying raise awareness in brief.
Top 15 (manufactured?) Crisis for the masses to accept the pushed "New Normal" aka 'Agenda2030':
- (Fake) "Pandemic Crisis" ... Covid19 IFR = 0,15% worldwide (not "3%")
- Fake Russia Gate "Crisis" (debunked so so many times).
- Fake January 6 "Insurrection Crisis"(FBI involvement!).
- "2021 Suez Canal Obstruction Crisis"
- "Cyber Attacks Crisis" prelude to (temporary) internet shutdowns decimating even more middle-class business? Then pushing for mandatory Bio-metric ID to access the internet?
- "Electric Power Shutdowns Crisis"
- "Climate Crisis"
- "Hyperinflation Crisis"
- "Food Shortage Crisis"
- "Critical Race Theory Crisis"
- China-USA Crisis (more info here).
- Possible Fake Alien Invasion Crisis
- Water Wars Crisis (mass droughts created through geoengineering aerosols injections of all kinds).
- Border Crisis & Mass Immigration in USA/Europe Crisis
- The Rise of (alleged) "Fake News" Crisis (leading to even more corporate & government pushed censorship directives & new unconstitutional EU-laws).
- New Advanced Potential Dangerous Asteroids "Warning System" (just couple fake "near miss" warnings could be enough to push even more draconian NWO Agenda 2030 measures).

Why are so many #Brits apathetic or so sure that their tiny lives are all there is to existence? Most are incapable of agapē (love-in-action) for anyone outside their circle of loved-ones. Egotistic and selfish to their very cores. Hence why #BREXIT came to pass and why all kinds of #hate, hatefulness & hate-crime are flourishing. #Fascism, or at least some kind of ultra-right-wing #totalitarianism is now the one-way street along which these once great isles are now travelling. #Fairness, #Justice, #Equity have all been sacrificed so that Brits do not have to think: think for themselves; distracting themselves at every opportunity so they do not need to think whatsoever. Unthinkingly, Brits have placed themselves in a gaol with nought but gruel to sustain us. I recall #AllegoryOfTheCave from #Plato’s #Republic. Wake up #Britain: let us be known as #GreatBritain once more!
“[T]he other inmates of the cave do not even desire to leave their prison, for they know no better life.”

I am one of the 2,000,000 disabled individuals who received zero #UKgov support.
Under the #Covid19 #pandemic #Lockdown, “The Government was so scared of what people might think, suddenly forced to live on so little, that they gave basic benefits a little boost during this time, by £20 per week (£1,040 a year), up from around £70 in normal times. But they didn’t add this extra cash to old-school benefits. Two million #disabled people didn’t get anything extra. Determined to push people on to #UniversalCredit (#UC), and citing creaky old computer systems for the old-style benefits, the Government said it couldn’t be done.”

#falseflag ?
or just plain #stupid?
to insist on committing genocide so vast, spitting such hate...
... it's clearly from a mass formation psychosis, totalitarianised, to speak so favourably insisting on committing such atrocities, as if virtues.

(albeit, in tragic irony, in some isolated parts, this has some orwellianised language-of-the-oppressor flies-in-the-ointment there, but [edit: as the clip of a young edwrd g griffin points out at around 43:36 to 44:19 clinching it, before expanding with other contextual clarifications] there's wisdom in being aware of the tip-toeing #totalitarianism hiding in #communism and #socialism garb. and #capitalism too. #freedomfirst #limitedgovernment #democracy #ruleoflaw #judiciary #humanrights #tyranyofmajority #jury #inalienablerights #constitutional #individualrights #bodilyautonomy #anarchy #noruler ... anyway, i wont ramble on about the #psychology and #politics. suffice to say, #awareness is a great tool in protecting yourself from #indoctrination #scams. cant #comply your way out, have to #speak out. or it keeps getting worse. wakey wakey. from here now. #speakout )

various more interesting insights and ideas in this, more than i rabidly sporadically jotted down and paraphrased here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zwq0pnLdX0
#who and #wef on the day of announcement of covid crisis unleashed their action plan which was obviously pre planned part of their global thinktank corporate-superstate-autocracy totalitarian technarchy devoid of #democracy (which we can still mend and re-implement all over).
"totalitarianism's ultimate goal is to render human beings redundant to its functioning as a system of governance"
when cbdc comes we must resist it with everything we've got.
no one could want this horror, unless #problemreactionsolution raised on a series of appocalyptic threats, our #children, raised on #austerity, on national decline, on banking crises, environmental crises, on health crises. they graduated to #lockdown, and #masks and #vaccinemandates. they've been bombarded by fear. and they're being offered as a way out of that explicit~ out of that terror, these transhuman programs. and that's why it's up to us. one of the things we can do, is reaffirm the human being.
#imagine and #create a #better #future, #now.
a future not at fear.
not scared of each other. at our most human.
individual acts of #noncompliance
question capitalism, and the horrible society capitalism created.
#decentralise #decentralisation.

we can do better.

Some of us can see the destination but most are happy having soneone drive the car for them so they can sit back and do nothing but consume.
#wordoftheday #Bankingarchy (and considering it for my next word of the year).
[2023-08-10 12:01:57] <@Digit> goofballs: word for ruled by banks
[2023-08-10 12:02:00] Digit: Bankingocracy
[2023-08-10 12:02:33] <@Digit> goofballs: how long have we been in a bankingarchy?
that would be an ecumenical matter
[2023-08-10 12:02:37] The term "bankingarchy" was coined in the early 2000s to describe the concentration of economic and political power among a few large banks. Since then, bankingarchy has become an increasingly prominent feature of global finance.
(thought to ask that[] in first minutes of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LjFzjK8H9U '"FULL AUDIOBOOK" - The Tower of Basel: The Shadowy History of the Secret Bank that Runs the World' #audiobook #thetowerofbasel #bis )
[ "word for ruled by banks" (intent to expand my vocabulary to a more accurate term amidst all the #plutarchy #kleptarchy #olligarchy #gerontarchy #patriarchy #supremacy #hegemony #jingoism #authoritarianism #fascism #totalitarianism #topdown etc, to help get further away from divisive inaccuracies that paint many innocents guilty. ever worth asking, are you sure you've got the right who and criteria yet? #areyousure #they)]
unpaused this around 47 minutes... what's to stop them turn you off?
