I know that remembering anything on a public forum is considered wrong and mean-spirited by today's suede denim secret police, so I do as much as possible. My team was busy launching Eldar Capital and attending the New Orleans gold bug conference in the Autumn of 2016 and there was a television on somewhere, maybe at a hotel, idk. The $hillary was walking in the vicinity of the public at a campaign event. Her entourage had a clothesline arranged around her as if to keep people from getting too close to her. There were maybe a dozen people on a pathway of maybe 200 yards. So she looked ridiculous. Which is how I choose to always remember her.
Indeed. Howard Zinn, the American historian, likely meant that even enormous and seemingly strong systems, like authoritarian regimes or oppressive governments, can fall apart or break down relatively quickly. He wasn't explicitly calling out certain regimes such as Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union, but he was making a broader point about how these kinds of systems can be surprisingly fragile. What Zinn was getting at is that throughout history, various oppressive systems and authoritarian governments have eventually faced resistance, internal disagreements, or pressure from external sources that led to their collapse. These systems might seem stable and powerful, but they can unravel or crumble when challenged by mass movements, public outcry, international pressure, economic issues, or changes in popular opinion. In simpler terms, Zinn's perspective emphasizes that political and social systems are dynamic. It suggests that even the most deeply rooted powers can be susceptible to change and collapse under the right circumstances. - Luc
Circumstances like, maybe, the cia and fbi conspiring with the military to murder JFK, RFK, MLK, and others? The USA as a constitutionally limited govt collapsed 60 years ago.
Very cool and I wholly enjoyed this piece. The more we confront the more we expose.
Agree
