US UNDER ANARCHAL SEIGE: MARTIAL LAW or MILITIA: Take your Pick Liberals

Posted on by Helena

With Washington and New York Liberals decrying that police brutality is the ‘cause’ of all our problems, and that we simply need to abolish our entire police force in order to have peace.   That somehow without any rule of law, we will enjoy the serenity of a nation wherein everyone suddenly loves their neighbor, there is no racism, no hoarding, no crime.   Somehow, if we have no one to protect us from murderers, rapists, burglars, and arsonists, then these crimes will suddenly be eradicated overnight.   Guns will become nonessential, and the utopian life will embrace us all!

Black men will suddenly support there children, there will be no bastards children in the world, marriages will last forever and divorce won’t exist. If only we have no more police.

No one will lock their homes, their cars, and insurance won’t be necessary because even storms and tornadoes and hurricanes will be orderly and follow a peaceful journey that evades damage to any structure or livestock.   If only we didn’t have police.

If we didn’t have police buildings would remain intact, no one would ever consider defacement or arson or the destruction of legitimate businesses because Police are the root of all the problems and 100% responsible for their actions.   Criminals would lay down their swords and dance in the streets – if only we had no Police!

Halleluiah – do I have a Halleluiah?

Without Law and Order – we would have no crime! Amen!

Washington DC – Muriel Bowser, Democrat demanded that Trump leave her city to be decimated by looters, violence, fires, car bombs, street thugs, smashed windows, defaced historic monuments – because that is what her city – deserved. Why?   Because the police are mean, mean, mean…

New York City – Bill De Blasio, democrat demanded that criminals be released into the streets to aid and abet heightened destruction, decimation, rape, assault, and vigilante vengeance. Why?   Because police are mean, mean, mean…

But hey, these mayors are competent, they run these cities, they truly believe that returning all US major cities to rubble will help to usher in the New Green Deal which is a depopulation, anti-industrialization, ideology of ‘healing’.
Remember what was said originally?   The only way to usher in this manifesto would be to scrape every last building and home across the country. Who best to do this on behalf of the politicians?   The People.

Media outlets are ecstatic as they embrace their rophetic visions of aerial chaos.   They boast in their reports of protests – ‘look at the masses’ – ‘look at the people rising’!   They hail these anarchists as heroes and applaud the decimation of all things order.   To usher in the New Green Deal – for the survivors – for those elites left sitting in their mansions watching as The People do their dirty work and destroy our country and each other.

It was just a year ago that we watched these same masses of people rise up in Venezuela!

And in the end, Venezuela became – dust!

There is no food, no housing, no water, no order, badlands rule.   And in the minds of America’s Liberal Politicians – this is a prime example of what can be done to mimic the end result for us.   The people ate their dogs.   They ate rats.   Mice.   And soon even these delicacies were no longer available.   No electricity, no gas, they ate them raw.   Girls became whores.   Men became slave owners.   And society ceased to exist.

Why? Because the Masters called for it.   The world is collapsing.   It can only sustain a few – and they are the few.   Nuclear war was never a consideration because it would destroy the precious land the Masters needed to survive.

Antifa?   They are nothing more than pawns. Nobodies. Bruts and bullies who have no conscience or morality.   Thugs without a brain, they don’t think beyond the hundred or thousand bucks they make in a day.   Assimilating anything beyond an hour in the future is beyond their capability. They will die. At the hands of the same Masters who pay them a miserable wage.

So what are we supposed to do?

The Masters are pushing the buttons toward Civil War. That is their desire. How best to secure a fast decimation….   Play into their hands and we will not survive.   The most recent history lesson we can analyze would be the watt Riots of the 1960’s that ultimately required mass arrests, the deployment of National Guardsmen to disperse the crowds as destruction was their goal.   Curfews, and a loose form of Martial Law was necessitated in order to avoid a Civil War evolution.

IN today’s climate President Trump would need to execute a form of Martial Law deployment of military troops, while mayors and governors that were complicit in the anarchy would have to be jailed for a form of treason.

Of course, this would not be ‘popular’, but given the extreme to which the current situation has manifested, and the financial support of these cult cells, anyone aligned would need to be stripped of any ability to function – their finances frozen, and the ‘Cleaners’ would be called to the front lines to protect our cities from annihilation.

Police are terrified – if they even raise a baton to defend their life, they are attacked, and our society as a whole is being attacked!

If we don’t use the military, militias will rise. And people will find that their petty ‘defund police’ mantra is nothing compared to a militia agenda.

Rothschild – Sanders: Gulags and Marxism – A Return to the Bolshevik Revolution

Posted on by Helena

Sometimes it isn’t what is in the news that is ‘news’, but rather what is omitted.   What happened to the protests in Hong Kong?   What is happening to the economy of Venezuela?   Chile? Lebanon? France? Germany?

Hong Kong is officially in a recession having experienced two back to back quarters of complete collapse as a result of the protests.   A 40% decline in tourism, thousands of shuttered business, parts of transportation destroyed, and what was the most viable economy in the world is contracting rapidly.

As a result of the protests in Venezuela, their economy remains collapsed.   France and Germany are next and BREXIT is likely to exacerbate those defaults.   While Germany is now looking to Russia and China to boost their trade, Macron seems oblivious and attends the theatre.

Hong Kong protests began as a demand that sovereignty remain intact, but they gained momentum as students felt their needs were not being met, housing is unaffordable, and living at home with parents has been the norm. But did the protests alter that fact?   Actually, no, because with a contracting economy, and fewer jobs, the circumstances of students will be worse. The government will be using funds to repair the damage, funds that could have been allocated to help curb costs.

When we look at all the protests across the globe they are basically the same – youth being core.   They feel left behind.   They want more money.

Imagine if the uprisings were in your city or town and the students were setting fire to your businesses, would you feel pity?   Would you placate their destruction?   I think not.   But youth are easy to instigate, they don’t understand that their entitlement will only make lives harder, less productive, and destroy other people’s livelihoods and lives.

In Venezuela Madura has survived.   He has ordered that dissidents be tried for treason.   The country has no economy.   Four million have fled to neighboring countries putting a taxing burden on their economies, and still people take to the street to protest. And when the dictators thrive, the cartels have greater control and access.   Columbia is now fearful that a war could explode between them and the Venezuela guerilla government, shattering their economy. Madura is convinced that the US government under Trump is responsible for igniting the attempted coup.   National Endowment for Democracy is typically the source of color revolutions, coups and mercenary infiltration. They do not operate under the dictum of the US government, but they do operate under the guise of The Swamp, The Cabal, the globalists who would seem to have lit the fire under more than a dozen countries in the last few years.

The protests in France continue unabated for more than a year now.   Each and every weekend they organize and take to the streets, setting fires, destroying businesses, and wreaking havoc.   They are deemed to be infiltrated by anarchists, possibly Antifa. While the original demands were met, the protestors upped the ante, each time a concession was given, a new one was created. As a result 11 people have died and over 4000 injured.

One of the organizers of the France protests is Priscillia Ludosky who previously worked in international finance for BNP Paribus, the 8th largest bank in the world and linked to the Rothschild family. Hardly a woman on the brink of poverty. Her particular penchant is environmentalism.

Then there is Jacline Mouraud an activist in the Yellow Vest Movement whose occupations include; ghost hunter, occultist, and parapsychologist.

Maxime Nicolle who enlisted in the infantry when he was 18 and discharged for ‘psychological’ reasons. In 2012 he was sentenced for death threats, forcible confinement and violence to eight months in prison, including five months suspended for which he pled guilty claiming it was ‘a blast’.

Still think these are just a bunch of pro-democracy people looking for a decent wage?

During Obama’s presidency there were over 29 protests and riots.   How quickly we forget:   Bundy, Ferguson, Occupy Wall Street, Missouri, Flatbush, Michael Brown, Oakland riots, Baltimore protests, etc… In each of these it was believed that they were infiltrated, staged, organized, bussed in, and the destruction, fires, and aftermath were devastating to local businesses.   To put that in perspective, there were more protests during Obama’s reign than there were between 1980 and 2009 – 29 years before he took office.

Coincidence? Doubtful.

The purpose of the riots/protests are similar to what we see across the globe today organized by anarchists, infiltrated by anarchists, with one common goal – economic collapse.

Why?
Because only through anarchy can the return of the Bolshevik ideology of Marxism and Communism take over.   This is the ideology of Bernie Sanders in collaboration with Ocasio, Tlaib and Omar.   The means is always the same – anarchy within the youth generation.   The goal? To create a global Soviet Union.

The Bolsheviks considered themselves the leaders of the revolutionary working party. The workers.   Rising against income inequality. They wanted a society that had no class definition – no ownership of property – no capitalist ideology – they wanted mass poverty. And they achieved their goal. 75% of Bolsheviks were under the age of 29.

Coincidence? Hardly.   They were a part of The Comintern, which advocated overthrow of the ruling party by force, and the abolition of state. Their means were the same that we see across each of these riot/protests in each country across the globe.   Even Iran.

The Bolsheviks brutally murdered Nicholas the Tsar of Russia, his wife and his five daughters. This was not a ‘peasant uprising’ as some textbooks would have us believe. This was an anarchist, brutal, death march that ultimately led to Stalin who collectively murdered upwards of 20 million people in his own country and established the “Gulags’ for this means.

The same Gulags that are proposed by Bernie Sanders, Ocasio and Tlaib to house and ultimately disperse from existence the US Deplorables.

History is always being rewritten.   TO fit an agenda.   But the puzzle pieces still exist.   Do NOT lose sight.

Venezuela: Mergers and Acquisitions – a Swamp and Cabal Chess Game

Posted on by Helena

Venezuela is a hotbed, rife with political accusations, alliances, and – oil. Recognized as having the world’s largest proven reserves of oil, Venezuela’s crisis serves to make it a viable target for the three global powers; US, Russia and China. While oil used to be the new ‘black gold’, as individual countries expanded their resource production, black gold became more akin to black silver.   So what’s all the hubbub to control Venezuela really about?

In 1950, Venezuela was the world’s 4th wealthiest country per capita! Despite numerous natural resources at their disposal, the economy of Venezuela concentrated heavily on oil production. When the shortages in the late 1970’s parlayed to a glut in the 1980’s, Venezuela’s government failed to diversify the economy to balance this shift.   Exports accounted for nearly 17% of the GDP and oil represented 95% of the exports.   When the price of crude tanked, Venezuela was left holding an empty nozzle.

Inflation took off, poverty increased, shortages of basic products became rampant, and Hugo Chavez’ solution was to institute welfare reforms and subsidies.   Instead of diversifying the economy, Chavez further spiraled any chance for a recovery by instituting Socialist ideologies. Fast forward and the Maduro Socialist regime is now facing a collapsed society with inflation rates at 2.3 million%.   Population below poverty rate was 20% in 2015 and is estimated to be 87%-90% today.

Yes! Venezuela is in Crisis – and it was NOT manufactured by the US. It has been in a downward spiral for nearly 40 years.

Despite rich land, Venezuela’s agriculture production is abysmal. Foreign companies have fled, and despite rich resources of iron, ore, gold, diamonds, coal, nickel and bauxite, production has fallen to a drizzle. In 2014, General Motors moved out due to a lack of equipment and supplies.

With the US being Venezuela’s biggest trade partner, China slowly gained traction under the Maduro regime plowing billions into the destitute economy and climbing to second place. Russia doesn’t even make the top ten tier in either imports or exports.   But Russia has taken a significant look at what the collapse does provide – an opportunity.

While Maduro was not ‘aligned’ with the US given his dictatorship moral, Venezuela did represent a significant trade partner with $3.45 billion in US imports (38% of Venezuela’s total) and $11.6billion in US exports (42% of Venezuela’s total).

So the US has an obvious economic agenda and a prosperous Venezuela is good juju for the US.  Hence the country and its assets are prime target practice for whoever lands their flag.  The US telling Russia to get out is like telling the Federal Reserve to dismantle… ain’t goin’ to happen.

Maduro leveled his country without any ‘assistance’ from anyone, except maybe Chavez who is dead.

Russia’s interest, China’s interest, are simply analogous to vulture business deals; an opportunity presents itself, advantage is established.   From a business standpoint it is similar to mergers and acquisitions. But the US had ‘first’ interest given our trade partnership, and maintaining that level requires either helping Maduro move from a Socialist regime to a capitalist one, or finding someone who will without being assassinated in the process.

Venezuela is one of only four countries that utilizes electronic voting machines for its entire electorate. Manufactured by SmartMatic, the machines have come under scrutiny for being easily hacked so as to manipulate an election.   The current Chairman of SmartMatic is Lord Mark Malloch-Brown of the UK.   Malloch-Brown is a former UK government minister, UN Deputy Secretary General with specialties in the World Bank, and former journalist for our very own Rothschild syndicate, The Economist.   He has spent most of his career ‘advising’ politicians in their presidential campaigns including; Bolivia, Peru, Chile, Columbia, Philippines and Venezuela.

Malloch-Brown has been a vocal critic of Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, and the US at large, while being praised by the likes of John Podesta…   Malloch was the Vice Chair for Soros Fund Management and the Open Society Institute.

Today, Malloch is co-chair of the Board of Trustees for the International Crisis Group.   The current President of the International Crisis Group is Robert Malley who was an advisor and special assistant to President Bill Clinton, and special ISIS adviser to Obama.

It was SmartMatic machines that were used in Obama’s 2012 re-election. And in 2015, Malloch-Brown made a presentation before the Atlantic Council to support modernized voting technology—namely touchscreen machines and optical scanners—which are already in use in 307 counties and 16 states in the U.S.  Elections are rigged.  Attempting to defer the risk to a programmable hacked machine is a sales tactic.  We now know that 307 counties and 16 states – are rigged.  We also know that SmartMatic machines are used in the UK.  Smartmatic now operates under the holding company, SGO Corporation Limited.

The Board of Directors of SGO includes David Giampaolo.  He is also a member of the Global Partners Council at the Institute of New Economic Thinking (INET). Founded by James Balsillie, William Janeway and George Soros, INET is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization working in promotion of new economic theories to address social issues such as wealth inequality and environmental sustainability.

Again we find that the Swampland of the US is intricately entwined in the Swampland of the UK with PM May leading the anti-BREXIT BREXIT tribulation into the fiery pits of Gog and Magog, while the Cabal, not the US, intervenes and manipulates coups and election tabulation.

SOCIALISM – Venezuela – And The US Election…

Posted on by Helena

The Democrat candidates for President have come out of the woodwork brandishing  golden torches signifying their ability to set the world on fire!   Within days, the wind blew out the flame, the media hunkered into silence, and the candidates retreated to their respective estates licking their self ascribed wounds while attempting to quell their deflated ego’s which had been  quite literally – scorched.  OUCH!

Kamala Harris was ablaze as she boldly announced her rigor of extreme Socialism only to find that all her fellow Democrat candidates had been cued with the same dispensary of spew – and The People were laughing.   They mocked the agenda that had no platform, while the media vainly attempted to re-spin the fallen chaos of Socialism that spiraled Venezuela into oblivion and call it ‘bad luck’.   Spurred into action, the MSM regurgitated article after article likely provided by the cabal as they sought to claim that socialism had nothing to do with the economic roil in Venezuela, it was simply a fluke and could happen to any country…

To support that spin, they even instituted a new and improved interim President to re-harness Venezuela into glory and fuel the belief that the problem was just – Maduro.   As such, the cabal instituted a new Socialist, Globalist to prove their point, Juan Guiado.   Reminiscent of Justin Trudeau, Guiado is backed by the UN, the EU Commission, France, UK, and Germany, in addition to the US, Japan, and a host of come aboards.   Certainly Maduro and his predecessor, Chavez, drove Venezuela into poverty, no one discounts that fact, but Guiado is no different, except that unlike his predecessors he is a prop of The Cabal.  

Guiado’s party, Popular Will, is an adjunct of Socialist International, a major European political party whose current president is the former PM of Greece, George Papandreou who resigned as PM as a result of the Greek debt crisis… and founded the Movement of Democratic Socialists whose ideology is pro-European.

It thus becomes clear that Guiado is a puppet of the European Socialists flanked by the banking cabal and George Soros.  And Venezuela is subjected to a Euro Coup.

But this Venezuelan Socialist ideology fell on its face in the US with the Far Left Democrat candidates outing themselves as hailing from that platform.   Raising their torches, like the good little minions they are, the tactic imploded.   And as they snivel in their dungeons waiting to be rebranded, remolded, and recreated, out steps Starbuck’s CEO, Howard Schultz.

While Schultz is a Democrat, having endorsed Hillary for President, he is potentially running as an Independent. Why?   Because it has become the largest US party holding 42% of the popular vote and because it distances him from the Socialists.

The media has focused largely on the millennial preference for Socialism, throwing out statistics ranging from 1/3 to ½, but their voter turnout is roughly 50% with about 55% of those supporting a Democrat candidate.   Socialism is NOT the force.   And the Democrats candidates were fooled into a failing platform.   Or perhaps they were a distraction…

Schultz is definitely not one to fear equations of success having amassed his own fortune from pure grit and is now speculated to be worth well over $3 billion.    While he has claimed he is very much against Trump, he has declined to say why, and he has yet to define a specific political platform from which he may run other than to say he believes reducing the national debt is his number one priority and that the O’Casio/Kamala Warren socialist ideals are basically – stupid.   It could be that Schultz is the Democrat version of Trump and The Cabal is testing his ability to garner numbers.

Controversy spins around him as Democrats are concerned he would split the votes and thus give the election to Trump.   But what they fail to understand is that a Socialist Democrat – is a split, and outside of the millennial population, reality would find few supporters and more than a few enemies within the corporate and high net wealth world of elite who have no intention of forking over 70% of their income.

While the Democrat’s appear to be screaming, ‘don’t do it’, any longer distractions are the game, and Schultz may be the new game in town much to the chagrin of the distractions.   With 9 Democrats already lining up to run in the 2020 election – they will need to destroy each other before one can rise.   Given Schultz is slated to run as an Independent, he will be immune from these initial mudballs as the Democrats slay their own.   And the mud she will sling given none of these diehards are remotely squeaky clean.

Kamala is already giving her rendition of Porky Pig regarding Medicare for all.   A few of the runners are ‘former mayors’ with absolutely no qualifying experience in any realm of anything.   Delaney is calling for ‘international tax reform’ – I guess he thinks being President means he is the global head honcho.   Kirsten Gillibrand is running as a ‘young mom’.   Yang believes in a universal income… I thought that was called Welfare?   Booker thinks that his record of backing liberal policies makes him the perfect candidate.   And then there remain in the wings the remnants: Biden, Sanders, Beto, Kasich, and the naysayer – Michelle whose claim to fame includes such notable accomplishments as being female, being black, and spending 8 years in the White House launching a failed organization to combat child obesity.

At least Schultz has charisma and the brassiness of a Donald.   Unfortunately, it would seem he has no policies. Personally, I think it would be quite lovely to see a skew in the Democrat Party vote given their divine assault on our Constitution and our national security. We shall see.

VENEZUELA: The Soros Cabal Moves In

Posted on by Helena

The Venezuelan crisis has reached its maze of tentacles into the US polarizing political opinions and creating riffs among previously affirmed buddies and friends.  Why?  Because of the fear of war, coup, regime change, and another Syria.  I agree that the US should not plunge into another Syria, but I also understand that the less than intellectual US media provide absolute drivel when it comes to factual information regarding the Venezuela crisis.  And so, people are turning to Facebook for their analysis and trolls for their insight.  A sad evolution to be sure.

On the ground in Venezuela, the analysis of events is a lot less confusing:

Maduro is corrupt.  No one disagrees.  He has a net worth of somewhere between $2 million and $295 million, and was paid $96 million in 2018.  Even the mathematically challenged can read this one.   The man’s wealth is said to have occurred because he ‘made smart stock investments’.   Hopefully this statement too is obvious.  In essence, Maduro bilked his country, sent it plummeting into the abyss of abject economic chaos wherein people were eating their dogs and eating the prolific abundance of rats to survive.  He has now essentially invoked martial law in order to sustain a power hold as the people revolt.

For the past few years emigration to neighboring countries has been massive, by 2018 10% of the population had left with an additional 57% wanting to leave.   They have nothing.  90% live in abject poverty.  Maduro’s response was to say that there was no crisis, everything was just fine…

Because Venezuela is a Socialist/Communist government, and many industries are nationalized, competition was ineffective.  Between 1999 and 2016, two thirds of all companies in Venezuela left. Unemployment is now reaching 50% and inflation is tipping 500%, while oil revenue is nearly nonexistent compared to historic revenues.  There are no funds to run a country, so Maduro’s only solution – divert those remaining revenues to – Maduro.

Because this is a point-by-point example of failed Socialism, the US Media chose to rephrase it so as to continue to support the rising Socialist ideology in the US.  Ocasio-Cortez and Kamala Harris are epitomizing this shift as they call for a restructuring of the Democrat Party into Socialist Democracy – much like the collapsing countries in the EU; Norway, Sweden, Finland, etc…

Enter Juan Guaido.  He has invoked himself as interim or temporary President of Venezuela to bridge between an ousted Maduro and a new election.   Guaido is himself a member of the Popular Will Party which is – “Socialist”, but distances itself from Chavez Socialism and calls itself a human rights socialist…party that supports globalization.

China has at stake $50 billion in loans and investments it has made over the last decade to Venezuela.  Russia has at risk roughly $6 billion in investments with Venezuela.   Trump just initiated sanctions against Venezuela’s government run oil company CITGO.  What these sanctions do is protect any revenues generated from the sale of their inventory and production of gas by requiring that the money be placed in a sort of trust account that Maduro has no control over.

In essence, what the MSM is not understanding is that this move actually protects both China and Russia’s investments and creates a void for Maduro to continue to siphon off the revenue for his own offshore accounts.

The supposed recognition of Guaido is unimportant in that vein.   He is a globalist, likely propped up by Soros and reminiscent of Trudeau and Macron in his supposed ‘youth appeal’.

The European countries supporting Guaido include the Soros Cabal:  France, Germany, Belgium, UK and Spain.   Other countries recognize Guaido as an interim given the Maduro circumstances: Japan, US, Australia, Israel and Canada   Russia and China are adamantly opposed because Guaido is likely a Soros puppet and his takeover of the country would further alienate their outstanding monetary interests.  The MSM is attempting to spin that Guaido is US backed, a Trump puppet, in order to deflect the fact that as a Globalist, he is obviously in the Soros Cabal.  The memes being parlayed from the likes of;  Global Research, David Icke, The Guardian, and a host of liberal outlets.

The Center For Strategic And International Studies has approved of Guaido stating that Venezuela’s assets should be transferred to the control of either the UN or the Catholic Church.   That itself should set off alarms!   John Hamre, CEO for CSIS, was former Deputy Secretary of Defense under Bill Clinton, worked on the Obama transition team and is Chairman of the Defense Policy Board.  The current list of Board members of DPB reads like a who’s who of Swampland:  Richard Danzig, Henry Kissinger, William Perry, Robert Kaplan, Stephen Biddle, Robert Gallucci, etc…

In other words, The Cabal is and has been pushing for control of Venezuela for some time. Their puppet, Capriles, did not make the cut as intended, and like Syria, Venezuela has assets they want, and alignments they want severed.   It is not a US coup.   It is a Cabal coup and Maduro is not unlike Gaddafi or Assad.  Just another nonrelevant to be ejected.

Maduro is now asking to talk to Trump – likely to explain the choice… Cabal or Maduro.

Socialism In The US House…takes hold

Posted on by Helena

With the Democrat House filing into DC they bring with them a new host of Socialists.  And one might gasp except that in 2010 the Socialist Party released a list of 70 Congressional Democrats who were also members of the Socialist Party of America.   They endorsed none other than John Kerry and Obama.  In the latest election 15 Socialists were elected to office across the US.  While the numbers may seem small from a percentage standpoint, they do reveal an evolution.   The EU Commission is comprised of Socialists, the UN is run by Social Democrats, and still, despite the collapse of Venezuela, the push continues.

In every Socialist state, the first death is that of the Middle Class.   Those who have much, have more, and those who had nothing, have something.   The fact that those who had nothing was a high percentage is what keeps the power operating.  Until it collapses.

And so the question arises, why does it collapse?

Opinion pieces are rampant in this discussion, most recently Bloomberg’s op-ed attempted to sway the discussion of Venezuela, and instead highlight the vast progress and effectiveness of Bolivia’s Socialist President, Morales.    The opinion piece claims there is a right way and a wrong way to do Socialism and lists Venezuela as the wrong way compared to Bolivia as the right way.  Noah Smith, the author of the piece bills himself as a neoliberal on his Twitter status.

But is Bolivia really a ‘right’ way, or is the author simply attempting to validate Socialism?

Bolivia’s President Morales continues to win re-election, not because his policies are good for Bolivia, but because he has given something to a population that had nothing, and virtually eliminated the Middle Class in the process.  He is elected by the poor, the 40% of the population living below poverty line.   Despite being given vast free assistance from Cuba and Brazil, Bolivia continues to rank in the bottom bowels of South America’s economy, ranked just above Venezuela.  Somehow Noah Smith didn’t read that far.

Bloomberg’s, Smith, cites the fact that they have GDP growth… and makes the claim that illiteracy has been eradicated.  Unemployment is made up of unskilled laborers, and skilled workers are in high shortage.  Corruption is rampant, a dictatorial rule is leveraged, while only 40% of the youth population continue school after the 4thgrade, and 20% enter secondary school, UNESCO has declared the country to be wholly literate.   In case you are math challenged, UNESCO warns that the rate can not be higher than 100%…   Unlike Florida which typically allows upwards of 140% of the population to vote.   I digress.

In terms of World Ranking – Bolivia is followed by Zimbabwe.

Not exactly a stellar record to use in support of Socialism.

The splintering and demise of the Republican and Democrat Parties is parlayed.

While Noah Smith argues that Socialism didn’t destroy Venezuela, hyperinflation did, he rather bizarrely refuses to acknowledge what caused ‘hyperinflation’.   It is humorous to note that Venezuela is referred to as the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela – it followed the exact same ideologies and principles as Morales does now in Bolivia.  The Bolivarian Revolution in 1999 ushered in Chavez as the savior of the Republic.  He vied for ‘socialism or death’.   Chavez government was called the Bolivarian government.  He created a new Constitution – as did Morales.  They support social welfare, social property, communes, universal healthcare, and of course, redistribution of wealth.

The only difference between Bolivia and Venezuela is that Chavez introduced Socialist policies beginning in 1999, Morales took office in 2006, Bolivia simply hasn’t reached the same crescendo – yet.

While the Soviet Union took decades to rise from the ashes of it’s socialist/communist rule instituted by the Bolsheviks, Venezuela and Bolivia don’t have the machismo or brute intellect to know how to recreate failing economics despite being rich in natural resources.  Reading of the demise of Venezuela, it reads as a static version of Bolivia’s current crisis and stagnation – crime rates soaring, riots, protests, inability to redirect industry from oil, vast resources left untapped, education crisis, etc…

Despite Noah Smith attempting to frame Socialism as simply mishandled, he has shown that his own understanding is rather pathetic.    But what he isn’t noticing is the fact that while both ruling parties in the US are crumbling, fracturing, and called out as failures (thank you Romney), the evolution of Socialism historically appears as a saving solution only to completely destroy the country so relegated – from within.

The EU is only now waking up to their own demise promulgated by the Socialist/Communist regimes of Merkel, Macron, and May.  Sweden is Falling faster than the Twin Towers, and Norway is a close second.   But then, that is the plan…

We The People, have that authority.  It is a choice.
