Canada = crippling taxation through air (carbon tax) and weed (cannabis). I have been sharing bad news stories about Canada, in Mexico, and I get bad news stories back. We agree that the West is run by criminals and members of some weird evil cult which probably includes the word "pedo". I am going to find an unedited video of Putin's annual press conference as he is the only leader that could, if not for the presstitutes openly bought and paid for by, and/or members of the pedophile cult, win a majority of the popular vote in every country of the Collective West. I hope it goes viral in Mexico.

I am not sure why the tyrants of the Collective West even bother with the charades of Democracy which was a sham from the start. Voltaire famously said: "I would rather be ruled by one lion than by a hundred rats." Welcome to Ratworld.

Is it me or are people rejecting what the socialist EU has to offer? If you look at the countries who have rejected the EU dystopian dream are doing very well....and this living in the shadow of Russia.

Socialism is like capitalism. There are so many different concoctions. I get confused sometimes about this!

Then how do you explain the hundreds of millions of local citizens murdered by assorted socialist regimes because they rejected the socialist (communist) policies/tyranny?

Hi Julian, i'd like to share some additional informations about the Romanian elections, which i hope it make any sense to you and to the readers:

- After the first round of elections, it transpired that the Social Democratic Party which had Marcel Ciolacu as a presidential candidate, diverted some of the votes to George Simion, in order to block any other candidates for the second round; basically it reads like this: Marcel Ciolacu (Social Democratic Party presidential candidate) supported the George Simion (AUR presidential candidate), and similarly, Nicolae Ciuca (The National Liberal Party presidential candidate) indirectly supported Florin Georgescu (which initially was an AUR member).

- Another thing, the ruling government issued a block on any spending by state institution starting with 1st October till 31st December, including town halls, in order to cut the budget deficit; it was called Legea Austeritatii or Austerity Law and basically cut any spendings, which by tradition were done in the last months of the year, with "great benefits" for some of the local mayors, regardless of the party affiliation. And now here is the catch, which you will not find in any official media: in response to this law, the local mayors, especially from Social Democratic Party and The National Liberal Party issued a stark warning to the leadership of both parties: because of this law, don't expect any major effort or extra push for your presidential candidates. So, the fact that Marcel Ciolacu and Nicolae Ciuca did not reach the second round is partially caused by this non implication of the local party officials in the presidential campaign. I know this because the nature of my work.

So the abysmal performance of both Marcel Ciolacu and Nicolae Ciuca in the presidential elections has nothing to do with Russian interference, alliens or the flying broom, it was their own making.

Thank you for this information—which adds to my impression of an incompetent government that could not win on its on merit. This is how democracies die, without ever having lived.

There is much disappointment (and sometimes anger) because "democracy" does not take hold quickly wherever it is bestowed. That is easily explained: democracy and the other liberal values have to grow little by little over the centuries; have to evolve rather than be imposed. They are not a simple set of rules; they must spring organically from certain beliefs and attitudes. As the estimable Edmund Burke put it,

"Manners are of more importance than laws. The law can touch us here and there, now and then. Manners are what vex or soothe, corrupt or purify, exalt or debase, barbarize or refine us, by a constant, steady, uniform, insensible operation like that of the air we breathe in... According to their quality, they aid morals, they supply them, or they totally destroy them".

- Edmund Burke (Letters On a Regicide Peace (1796)

John Adams expanded eloquently and persuasively on the theme:

"While our country remains untainted with the principles and manners which are now producing desolation in so many parts of the world; while she continues sincere, and incapable of insidious and impious policy, we shall have the strongest reason to rejoice in the local destination assigned us by Providence. But should the people of America once become capable of that deep simulation towards one another, and towards foreign nations, which assumes the language of justice and moderation, while it is practising iniquity and extravagance, and displays in the most captivating manner the charming pictures of candour, frankness, and sincerity, while it is rioting in rapine and insolence, this country will be the most miserable habitation in the world. Because we have no government, armed with power, capable of contending with human passions, unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge and licentiousness would break the strongest cords of our Constitution, as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other".

- John Adams, Letter to the Officers of the First Brigade of the Third Division of the Militia of Massachusetts, 11 October 1798

Please notice that the USA actually HAS "become capable of that deep simulation towards one another, and towards foreign nations, which assumes the language of justice and moderation, while it is practising iniquity and extravagance, and displays in the most captivating manner the charming pictures of candour, frankness, and sincerity, while it is rioting in rapine and insolence..."

Adams winds up thus: "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other".

Well, does today's USA have "a moral and religious people"? No. Which is why its Constitution, as originally established, is today "wholly inadequate to [its] government".

As for European countries, it's hard to think of any - with the exception, until recently, of Switzerland - which has the underlying traditions and morals necessary to support democracy. Germans, for instance, utterly fail to understand the very notions of liberalism, fairness, or individual human rights. For them to adopt a constitution copied from the US constitution is exactly like whiting a sepulchre.

Someone has said before that if a democratic election is properly organised voters don’t even need to turn up.

The system is "liberal-fascism": rule by a corporatist oligarchy, behind a false front of liberal democracy.
