What a brilliantly honest and accurate analysis.

I feel an article I wrote just a few weeks ago would be the most logical thing to read after this. It’s called “The Soft Armour of Power” and its first line sums it up well: Power doesn’t hide — it camouflages. It covers another angle mentioned, but not coved here — Philanthropy.

The main problem being that most people refuse to acknowledge or recognize that the US has no right to exist anyway.

Those who think it does should be perfectly okay with somebody coming to their house and stealing it and then pretending it's a democratic republic.

Interesting way of thinking...

Key word, thinking. Analyzing. Dissecting. That's what most people never do and that's why they don't know the real backstory of anything they complain about.

I certainly do alot of dissecting and reading. But I don't like this Nazi thing/symbol. Europe, the Allies, & the past citizens of Europe certainly suffered enough in WW2. I like the way Chris Hedges describes lucidly the fracture we’ve been thrown into, but I’m not sure you want to hear about it…

Hedges is one of the most astute observers, but he doesn't understand the fact that the Vatican Bank controls everything on this planet.

The Vatican Bank invented the Nazis, the Bolsheviks, Zionism, the fascist global monetary system, stock exchanges, capitalism, and every other wicked thing in this world. That's who I'm referring to when I say Nazis. AKA zioCONS, pretending to be a Catholic entity.

All Nazis are fascists. They won the war, meaning that the Vatican Bank won. Because the Vatican Bank orders every war on this planet. Ka-ching!

The Vatican Bank is the big daddy of all central banks, they invented the concept, although they were copying other behaviors before they were known as the Vatican Bank.

The Knights Templar we're not Christian crusaders. They were looters ordered by the Vatican to set up the global monetary system, AKA capitalism, which is a euphemism for fascism.

I liked this and plan to share it. Judeo-Capitalist "democracy" is the problem. National Socialism is the solution. Which your article makes crystal clear. Jews prefer democracy because you point out, it's for sale. Kings and dictators usually have to respond to the people, or lose their heads. The United States was an experiment, one which has failed. It is I think the oldest of the currently existing republics. But just look at Western "democracy" across Europe, Australia, anywhere it's been tried, it's failed. I'm not sure why you reject fascism, but I expect it's for reasons of poor education on the subject, like most things are. We can't all know everything.

Keep fighting! 🙏🏻

Thank you for the thorough research Kathy. Yes, all government officials (but the US especially since it is the most relevant) are not public servants but are true servants to the evil oligarchs and those in turn are either zionists or have their interests aligned with them.

The term Common Wealth refers to us the citizens, or in Britain Subjects. Our lives do not matter.

Devastating breakdown of how Super PACs turned policy-making into an auction house. The bit about unlimited dark money keeping candidates alive single-handedly realy nails how the whole 'donors dont disclose' loophole creates plausible deniability for everyone involved. I've noticed how this structure lets politicians claim independence while being completly beholden to these networks. It's genius in the most cynical way possible.

But you're analyzing it from a white supremacist perspective. No Caucasian has ever asked permission to occupy any continent outside of Europe. So it's all illegitimate from the get-go.

These Billionaires have outsized power just as you’ve said and the only way we the people can beat them is by way of collective action, local engagement , etc. bc power isn’t just money, it’s the people like us who command real change . Either they bend back or they keep pushing ,which they will continue to do and so we will continue to fight and fight . This article needs to be in the forefront , thank you Kathy I will certainly share it !!!

Thank you Gerri.

If we're going to go for a peaceful way for change, it'll have to start at the local levels….it always has been.

The U.S. Department of Justice has retracted its claim that the so-called “Cartel of the Suns” was a real criminal organization. With this correction, admitted as part of the review of the indictment against President Nicolás Maduro, Washington dismantles one of the most widely disseminated narratives of recent years used to justify sanctions, diplomatic pressure, and the international construction of the idea of ​​a “Venezuelan narco-state.”

A political narrative that ended without legal basis

According to a report in The New York Times, the retraction stems from the fact that the original indictment could not stand up in court. Experts cited in the article point out that the Justice Department’s revised version acknowledges that the so-called “Cartel of the Suns” did not operate as a structured organization, but rather was a colloquial and media-driven term used for years to perpetuate the lie about alleged corruption linked to drug trafficking.

While the previous indictment mentioned the “Cartel of the Suns” more than thirty times and described Maduro as its leader, the new formulation practically eliminates the figure, replacing it with references to “systems of corruption” without identifying a specific criminal organization.
