A few days ago, we had access to the video we share below.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=8WLIunFd3vE
The video is self-explanatory, and it makes it hard to avoid seeing what’s undeniable. There is a fifth column within the revolutionary government that threatens the Revolution from within. This phenomenon, certainly not exclusive to Venezuela, has been taking shape and expanding dramatically in recent years, since the physical disappearance of Hugo Chávez, who was the motor, soul and life of the Venezuelan revolutionary process. Its consequences could become as devastating as unscrupulous is its way of acting and its motivations. Examples of this imperial strategy carried out successfully can be seen in Brazil, where the legitimate government was overthrown by a parliamentary coup, Ukraine with an occupation government where the son of former US Vice President Joe Biden became director of the largest Ukrainian gas company, or the much more regrettable cases of Libya and Syria. Currently Nicaragua is suffering the same fate, do not forget the joint-venture project with the Russian Federation underway for the construction of an interoceanic canal that will compete with the Panama Canal, an open affront to the empire, or at least this is how the empire is used to seeing every attempt at progress that does not accrue to his own economic or political benefit. As always, we can observe the important and disastrous role played by the fifth columns in the development of these plans that betray the welfare of their own nations.
Soft Coup under Development
Hugo Chavez was already aware of the strategy and did not deprecate the dangers that lurked even before these plans had been implemented with success in the mentioned countries.

Chavez narrates he received a copy of a book by a college student with a remark on it: “Alert! The imperial strategy is fully displayed herein”. The book es titled: “From Dictatorship to Democracy. A conceptual system for liberation” by Gene Sharp. Chavez then goes on to explain that this technique is also known as the soft coup, explaining that this is the reason why the Venezuelan oligarchy and the USA Government insist so hard on calling Venezuelan government a dictatorship, in a way to justify the application of this methodology. Chavez says textually: “they want to create a virtual dictatorship, but this is indeed really difficult, because such a mirage will be soon thrown away by reality”. Chavez also portrays the misuse of students and warns them to not let themselves be manipulated and used as cannon fodder by creating unrest that lead to give the impression of impossibility of governability and build up a scenario for a coup. He finishes saying that the revolutionary government will never be overthrown.
As well the following video explain in easy diagrams the strategy behind the Soft Coup according to the design of Gene Sharp.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfbN79TJkiQ
As can be seen from the information contained in these videos, it is easy to appreciate that a key point in the success of the soft coup is the support provided by the fifth column, immersed within the state apparatus and the operations of the central and regional government. Appearing to be part of the revolutionary process, but covertly working to dismantle it. The damage infringed goes directly to the spirit of the revolutionary on the street, who is by definition, frontally exposed to the massive attack for being himself its target by being exposed firsthand to the shortage of food, medicines, electricity, speculation, exacerbated inflation, difficulties of connection to the internet, attacks by paramilitary groups surreptitiously posing as members of the revolutionary government apparatus. In Venezuela there has been added a previously unknown variant of attack on the citizen, the shortage and accumulation of cash, paper money, to be freighted to Columbia and other destinies overseas.
It is to be hoped that the revolutionary government will react by detecting and at least officials of high media exposure will be removed from their functions due to the imminent danger they entail as they are agents of the imperialist powers themselves that threaten to destroy the nation and its population.
great short commentary – I haven’t watched the videos yet – but very VERY important information –
This is quite a good summary of book about how the media distorts the message – simple Americans have been brainwashing into a narrative of the issue being socialism.
https://www.sott.net/article/390097-Why-everything-the-mainstream-media-tells-you-about-Venezuela-is-lies
I have great difficulty understanding a fifth columnist…Gorbachev, Yeltsin..he in particular… Temer and so on. what on earth drives this type, across all nations and cultural/ethnic sections of the human species. what formed(s) them? I cant find a comprehensive logic that captures the phenomena of fifth column..a terrible human scourge that facilitates or attenuates all human social progress
in any human movement forward the watchful must be aware of the potential for reaction, observant watchful for the reaction, to weed it as it appears, even when it is suspected. the movement forward must be aware of the conditions that produce and nuture the reaction and take care to kill those conditions making it harder for any fifth column real or potential.
bureaucracy is one such source of power and nuture for the reaction. therefore bureaucracy must become an instant and on-going target for quickest elimination the revolution. the revolution must be relentless reducing/eliminating all bureaus”and to this effect Chavez/Maduro have been perhaps remiss in not deepening the revolution to the point at which the entire country is deeply embedded as quickly as possible. it is in popular alternatives that can be found the most efficacious ways for the society to proceed without the bureaus. utter democracy should do the trick.
I do not see that the revolutionary has any choice. once they get identified as progressives their lives are worthless to the empire. if they manage to get a progressive change in their countries they would have progressed to active direct enemies of the imperium and will be killed once the progressive movement is turned around. it does not matter if they are mild and pink or blue progressives or absolutely red..they are all going to be killed..they and as may millions of the revolutionary types the empire calculates must be killed to restore their dominance
that is the equation for the progressives..they are toast before and more so after the progressives get going. so what are they waiting for?
I dont understand Lula, Dilma, Corea..even Maduro. what do they think they are in..some sort of alternate reality in which they can serve, retire, come back and carry progressive activity just like that? dont they know the real story of our world, global reality? dont they know the capitalists after 400 years of African slavery, genocides everywhere, constant pogroms against the peoples of the world. dont they remember Allende’ and Chile, an example of the contant destruction of progressive movements for centuries now under the imperium?
we know who we are dealing with..and they are so crazy, so insane that there is probably no answer to them at all, to their existence and activity in the world, save to remove them all, eliminate them.by them and what they do there is probably no answer for humanity anymore either… any answer that involves long term, indefinite human survival. it seems quite clear that if the capitalist… who are now mostly the Jews/rich Caucasians of the world will blow up planet Earth if they are going to lose their power. these have committed so much crime against humanity for so long, all of them: the Jews and the Caucasian rich, along with their counterparts form every ethnic group of the human species..the rich and the traitorous Black, Chinese, Indian etc..all of the same mind and modus and rap sheets… will have to be brought to account for such crime..their crimes against humanity.
all of them cannot survive any legal examination, even cursory legal examination, not for a minute.. save be found guilty and executed, shot, lined up against walls… like they have done to so many millions in their time. the greatest service the revolutionaries and progressive can do in power would be to arrest all the national criminals and put them on trial for their crimes…give the world an example of what should be done. I was stunned as the Venezuelan right wing snatched people off the streets and burned them alive and walked free. they carried out all manner of social disturbance and were left alone. and now they participate freely in the process immune from prosecution.
no! they should have been and still must be arrested and tried for their crimes. and so they must be smashed, neutered..not hunted down and murdered clandestinely. they have committed crime, vast crime against the people. investigate them, build cases and pout them before the courts. present legit cases. and if the entrenched traitorous judiciary lets them..all the better to expose that judiciary to the people and on that bases remove them, arresting them too, then create and institute some practical judicial process in which the people are dominant, that they people find sound and try the the arrested again there-in.
such revolutionary activity should freak the imperium right out and precipitate their action. that should bring everything to a head globally. the imperium will attack Venezueala or whichever progressive nation that goes that far immediately. the imperium will speed up their attack on the peoples of the world forcing the people to confront the truth inescapably, finally, and to respond on that truth. it will be the time of human choice, of human fitness to survive in nature finally at hand. the choice would be ral democracy or the Brave New World of the rich, what they must do… how they must cut-up and re-mold the human species in order to control it in perpetuity..in order to retain their wealth, power and their actual lives on planet Earth. there is no escaping this development that is here..now.
that is what I see right now the human DECISION…our choice of life or death. it is either the system is changed, capitalism expunged from social reality, or humanity dies by economic deprivation or war..or the rich win the social struggle for life, and proceeds to do all manner of ‘scientific’ evil to humanity, in effort to ensure their perpetual social control. that would be an Aldus Huxley nightmare that humanity wont survive for long either
the revolutionary who does not think this way is a loser. I mean we are all likely to lose anyway but we must be on our own side all the way, fully, flawlessly… or we dont have a chance. life does not have a chance.
will the Saker print this? I dont know. I hope he does!
the only way to win is not to play their game.
“right now the human DECISION…our choice of life or death”
the empire doesn’t care if the left/progressives or the right/conservatives/liberals
ignite the fire – as long as there is fire & chaos and the elites can milk the situation
for their gains or escape the scene via the back door.
no passaran for your agitprop. nice try tho
agitprop!!! whatever do you mean?
I spoke my mind..my real point of view. I am not advocating fire and chaos. what do you think the empire has in mind for us?
better what is the empires interest, the question of its own survival and it will do in order to effect that?
on all they have done what do think the empire is doing now..sitting in wait for events or manipulating the situation to save itself. and what are the empires limits on itself in this work? None at all!!
what will the empire do if and when it turns around the situation in Venezuela? do you see a right wing presidency and the football stadiums full of the blood of Maudira and the socialists?
and why would Maduro not seek out and arrest those who burned that Black Venezuelan alive on the streets of Caracas, arrest and try them?
why do the revolutionaries not use the power they have to enhance the position of the revolution comprehensively..by which I mean ordering the press and right wing propaganda by law and licensing control
what am I calling for..investigation of crime against the people in which the right wing are clearly involved in..currently and in the past. investigate their cimes, arrest them all and try them. what chaos and fire is that then? where is the illegality in that.
everywhere the progressives move forward there is their huge reluctance to use the law against clear right wing criminality. where are the perpetrators of the coup against Chavez 16 years ago. all got away, are free living wherever, some probably even in Venezuela. some in custody were spirited out of the country. why, how? did Chavez not expect that..why did he take his eyes off them.
how in heavens name is all that possible..when you are up against it..and when you can be absolutely certain that if you lose power to them they will kill you..especially by coup..or if the Americans go in
so my argument is that once you become revolutionary the field is clear..you solidify your situation comprehensively by neutralizing the fifth column totally and you do so legally. and that appears easy to do because the fifth column, the right wing, are steeped in criminality..period. and the minute they lose power they work ceaselessly to get it back by all means..no limit.
all legal and what all the people want..the neutralizing of the rich, right wing power, the elimination of the fifth column, the betrayers of the nation. you go after the criminals legally while you deepen popular control relentlessly. no going back!
that is my argument. what agitprop nonsense?
how is the progressive movement to succeed anyway, if the revolutionaries are not as serious as that?
that is why and how the empire always comes back because the revolutionaries are afraid to go all the way. they allow the right wing all the room they need to come back in led and supported by the empire
when the revolutionaries move as comprehensively as that, legally it would mean that the revolution is utterly serious, no leeway for the right wing..that the revolutionaries truly understand what they must do and do it. the empire has no case, can have none. the world can and do see that..but the empire will move anyway and do directly what they had been doing clandestinely. the empire will be flushed out into the open and bring to the fore the decision. the ordinary people of the world would no longer be able to hide and prevaricate, allowing the empire the leeway it needs to covertly carry the day
that’s my argument. it may not happen but given the equation, the history, the empire, the economics etc., that is what I would do were I see must happen if these progressive movements are not to be turned back, defeated. and if they are turned back this time I expect, it will be worse than Chile’ just watch
the point of all this is for the people to get back their country, to develop in their own collective interest. so give it back to them and work with them in the creation and development of the social forms that can best most effectively get the nation, as speedily as possible, to a desired stage in which all the people are invested.
if you want to defend your country successfully that is what you have to do. the people will fight to the death to protect their nation. the empire would have to wipe them out period. the empire would do that too..easily..if they think they can get away it, and to set an example for others who may think of the same revolutionary thing.
so what are the people of the rest of the world to do.. sit and wait for Brave New World?
the people must do something..and must not necessarily wait on their leaders either. if necessary they can and must neutralize their leaders who do not move fast enough, whose feet are cold. if you are going to get wiped out for living the life you are meant to live what is the choice? the empire does not intend that you live life any kind of decent life ever. the empire does not have any plan that includes you in the future of the planet
what is the choice..move..play the most sophisticated and effective game you can play..and that means flushing out the empire and finally bringing the capitalist contradiction in its late stage, out into the open, in the worlds glare, so that all the people know that the empire can solve its crisis only at their expense..total expense including their very lives..now!
only that can defeat the empire..the people in full revolutionary movement, in the clear understanding that that is all the guarantees them life, and saves the planet for any kind of future at all..the final and utter defeat of capitalism and the capitalist class
I agree with your passionate points, Ben, but would like to answer your urgent, somewhat anguished questions differently than offering cynicism. Although a few blunt facts are so grim as to perhaps appear cynical, please bear with me, as my intent is to communicate a more optimistic propsect of what is possible in the next half century:
1) The quickest way to gain wealth privately is to steal it from others. When this is too dangerous because of the capacity of the targetted to defend what is theirs, most human beings will think twice about theft and buckle down to work, to produce what they need from their own labor and resources. This takes longer. The short cut is always tempting to the morally weak but physically strong….or those who seek out and find themselves in position to take adavantage of the weakness of others..
2. The same applies to states. Weak states are beset by the temptations of stronger neighbors to take shortcuts and take from them, what they can, especially if the resistance to theft of the looted party can be easily overwhelmed…. In the case of Portugal, Spain, England and others this temptation included the most extreme looting: sailing off with shiploads of the inhabitants of West Africa….whose population that stayed in Africa included stronger “chiefs” whose quick route to relatively greater riches and enhancement of their local power and prestige, through force and fear……was to capture and sell others in their homeland to the European Slave Traders. That’s the extreme case which answers the question “Why?” most directly. What you are justifiably indignant about is just a less extreme, slower, more covert manifestation of the same spiritual/moral illness. From within Venenzuela and from without, in the wider neighboring world that affects Venezuela……this Law of the Jungle still lurks in present humanity who consider themselves “good”.
3. It is the unfortunate reality that even large states such as Russia at times confront existential crises (the 1990s’ most recently…threatening their very existence and identities as a nation, a people, and a civilization. Even more precarious is condition of smaller states such as Venezuela. If that state is blessed with rich oil reserves……those tempting reserves can became a sort of curse…accelerating the external and internal pressures of greed and temptation to take the larcenous, corrupt and immoral short cut….justifying it, of course, by projecting the same immorality onto others, who (correctly, in many cases) are itching to do exactly the same. Or taking it back from them, in the case of Left vs Right…..but doing little or nothing beyond expropriation of the assets and power of their adversaries….
4. This is a problem in every country in the world, but it is a very entrenched, endemic, obvious problem in Latin America because of the weakness of the states, of even the largest, Brazil. The frailty and egoism of the “leading” powerful citizens, all too often, tempts many of them to use their very temporary power to funnel wealth as quickly out of the country as possible to bank accounts in Miami, (just one of the closest destinations….)…before their turn is up, and its the next guy’s turn. The justification by most of these “leaders” and “presidents”…in fact presiding over the emmiseration and persistent underdevelpment and looting of their country and its inhabitants (including their successsors who have the envious resolve to do pretty much the same…………..) is something along the lines of oligarchy thinking anywhere on earth: “Damn it, it’s finally MY turn…….and I’d be insane not to take full wealth stealing advantage of it being MY turn, because ……”better me than “them”, my rivals, within our “patria”….right??”
5.The same dynamic, but usually with bit more sophistication is carried out …in “Los Estados Unidos”….USA. Exceptions exist. Some men of modest means (Lincoln, for example) ascended to the presidency and sought to serve, and build national wealth rather than steal their “share” of it. Some already wealthy (Washington, Franklin Roosevelt, John F Kennedy) felt little or no need to concentrate on accumulating more for themselves, and actually concentrated on building national wealth!
6) Latin America very temporarily had more promising prospects and possibilities to flourish with the Good Neighbor policy of FDR or the Alliance for Progress of JFK …………..but the larger stretches of time have been characterized by outright proponents of Empire and Hemispheric Looting (“Free Trade”) Rights..or …just indiffrerence……pompously justifying their immorality with fear based mind control about “socialism” and communism….and promising “democracy” (ie colonial subservience and looting) as the “clearly preferable alternative”.
6. In the normally adverse times of Not So Good Neighbor to the North, there are realists and idealists that come to power from time to time in Latin American nations. John Perkins in “The Confessions of An Economic Hitman” mentions Jaime Roldos of Ecuador and Gen Torrijos of Panama. Often these better examples that are too difficult to corrupt are simply snuffed out by “black ops” of the CIA. A samml plane transporting Roldos blew up in the air. Who do you suspect?? ……..Some “miracles” (such as Panamanian sovereign ownership and operation of The Panama Canal) are accomplished, but full development and sovereignty are generally hampered by the Hemispheric Strategic reality…of historical underdevelopment, externally and internally by top down oligarchical design…from the USA and from Europe. Especially London….the chief designer of the “conditionalities” policies of the IMF which, under the fake rubric of “stabilization”……have the clear intent of perpetuation of national underdevelopment and weakness despite posturing to the contrary.
7. Fortunately, there are changes afoot in the world that offer better prospects, today, IMHO than either your leftist dieological persuasion or the right wing antagonists of opposite persuasion that have disagreed with you here. In my humble opinion, BOTH, despite the possibly sincere aspirations of their ideological adherents are mostl justy opposite poles of a Hegelian Dialectic that is a set-up..imho….in which, for example The Vatican is involved with top down mind control of the masses….and the so-called elites. Pick your poison: “Liberation” (Victim) Theology or TFP (Tradition, Family, Property) the Perpetual Victimizer-Controller “Theology”.
Got to go right now, but time permitting I will finish my thoughts later today…or tomorrow.
Nothing is forever…positive change…. A Positive Paradigm Shift is more possible than ever before…..SOON!. The Left in Latin America is tragically flawed leading to few successes and many failures, as your critics here point out. But The Left among many persons in Latin America is at least more human (in its desire for change for the masses) than the right wing views they usually espouse, a defense of or a return to…. the Status Quo Ante.
I don’t think that is true however, in the United States, with the current “fake left” russophobic Democratic Party “leadership”. And that is a reason, IMHO, for the quickly emerging “Just Walk Away” movement of former registered Democrats who are abandoning Fake Left Empire Minions such as Mad Maxine, Nancy Pelosi, Diane Fienstein……and Killary….. with a momentum I certainly hope continues through November and beyond.
Interesting times!
As a latin-american I can tell you, Russia will NEVER get influence in Latin America if they keep praising a piece of shit like Maduro, the only ally you can have in the West is the far-right, Syriza in Greece is a good example of left-wing betrayal, the people who hates Russia in the West are the pro-globalist-marxist scum of the world
As a Latin american as well, I am 100 % agree with you, the best way for Russia to put a foot in Latam is distancing from Maduro. Russia should invest more in Latam from the Rio Grande to Tierra del Fuego, thats the way to have a better relationship with us, showing the people that a good relationship between Russia and Latam bring benefits for both. Like you said, the proglobalist Marxist scum LOVE to see Russia in bed with Maduro. This is something that many people in the antiglobalist camp in the Northern hemisphere cannot see. Probably they do not understand Latam.
Are you still rooting for Communism in the 21st century?! Wasn’t 100+ million deaths enough already? (I won’t write more because you won’t post it anyway)
can you give us a rough estimate of the number of people killed in the 20th century by “free market” “liberalism” and capitalism (including in its highest stage of imperialism?
Surely you are not advocating for that, are you?!
No?
The Saker
i am not worried, Venezuela is a tough nut to crack.
Brasil was a disappointment, they dismissed Dilma Rouseff so easily –
because of public transportation cost increases and (fake) corruption charges.
Now they gots a whole series of economic problems.
Well some people have to learn it the hard way – but i am positive, they will turn around.

LULA’S LETTER
Released this past Tuesday. Full English translation. Please circulate widely.
And make no mistake. Even as he remains the most notorious political prisoner on the planet, Lula IS running for President next October.
Dear Friends,
The time has come for all the democrats who are committed to defense of the Democratic Rule of Law to reject the maneuvers that have victimized me, so that the Constitution can prevail over this trickery that made by people who disrespect it out of their fear of the television news.
The only thing I want is for the Lava Jato Task Force, made up of the Federal Police, the Public Prosecutors Office, Judge Sergio Moro and the Fourth Regional Federal Court (TRF-4), to show society one single piece of material evidence proving that I committed any crime. The words of a plea bargain testimony are not enough, nor are the convictions of a power point presentation. If my judgment were based on impartiality and gravitas, it would not have needed to be thousands of pages long, because all they had to do was show one document that proved that I was the owner of a property in Guaruja.
O Globo newspaper published a lie that attributed the ownership of an apartment in Guarujá to me. The Federal Police reproduced this lie and started an investigation. The Public Prosecutors, receiving this same lie, made an accusation and, finally, always on the basis of this lie which was never proven, Judge Moro condemned me. The 4th Regional Federal Court, following the same script that began with a lie, confirmed the conviction.
All of this leads me to think that there is no reason to believe that there will be justice. What I see now in the public behavior of some of the Supreme Court Ministers is the mere reproduction of what passed through the first and second appeals processes.
First of all, Minister Fachin removed the judgment of the habeas corpus that could have impeded my imprisonment from the Second Group of the Federal Supreme Court and passed it to the Plenary. This maneuver prevented the Second Group, who’s majority opinion against imprisonment before the end of appeals processes is known by all, from issuing the habeas corpus. This was shown during the Plenary session in which 4 of the 5 Second Group Ministers voted in favor of granting the order.
Afterwards, when my defense team postulated on the suspension effect of an extraordinary appeal to grant my freedom through a preliminary injunction, the same Minister decided to bring the process directly to the Second Group, with judgment scheduled for June 26. The question posed in this preliminary injunction was never appreciated by the Plenary or by the Second Group, because it discusses whether arguments in my appeal are capable of justifying suspension of TRF-4 decision so that I can respond to the accusations in freedom.
However, they turned off the office lights on Friday, June 22, a few minutes before the TRF-4 decision was published denying the sequence of my appeal (which happened at 7:05 PM) as if they had set up an ambush. The injunction was denied and the process extinguished in a trick that, once again, prevented my case from being tried by the competent judicial body (in a decision released at 7:40 PM).
My defense appealed against the TRF-4’s decision and also against the decision that extinguished the process of the preliminary injunction. However, surprisingly, once again the rapporteur referred judgment on this appeal directly to the Supreme Court Plenary.
With this maneuver, the natural competence of the organ that is supposed to judge of my case was removed again. As was demonstrated in the June 26 session during which ruling on my preliminary injunction was supposed take place, the Supreme Court Second Group has the clear understanding of the possibility of granting a suspension effect based on extraordinary appeals similar to mine. But the maneuvers worked and my request for freedom was not ruled on.
One has to ask: Why did the rapporteur first refer judgment on the injunction directly to the Supreme Court Second Group and, immediately afterwords, send the appeal against court regulations to the Plenary when, according to law, it should be analyzed by the same competent body that judges the injunction?
Tyrannical decisions were made to choose whatever collegiate momentarily seemed more convenient, as if there were some commitment to the result of the judgment. They were made through a procedural strategy and not as an instrument of justice. This behavior, in addition to denying my guarantee of natural justice, would be understandable for prosecutors or defense teams but is totally inappropriate for a magistrate whose function requires impartiality and detachment from the political arena.
I am not asking for a favor, I am demanding respect.
During my whole life, and I am 72, I believed and preached that sooner or later Justice would always prevail for people who are victims of irresponsibility or false accusations. Even more so in my case, in which the false accusations against me are only confirmed by plea bargain informants who have confessed to stealing, who are condemned to dozens of years in prison and desperately try to make pleas that are good enough to obtain their freedom and conserve part of their stolen money. These are people who would be capable of accusing their own mothers to obtain benefits.
I am beginning to have dramatic and cruel doubts over continuing to believe that Justice can be served and refusing to participate in a farce.
If they do not want me to be President, the most simple way to do it is to mount the courage to practice democracy and beat me at the polls.
I haven’t committed any crime. I repeat: I have not committed any crime. For this reason, until they show at least one piece of material evidence that blemishes my innocence, I am a candidate for President of the Republic. I challenge my accusers to present this proof before August 15th of this year, when my candidacy will be registered in the Electoral Courts.

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva
Thank you for that post!!
Yes, what is taking place in Brazil – a country I love – appears to be a coup which is backed and managed by the USA.
The Saker
Saker,
Wikileaks published once emails showing Temer (Brazilian president) interchanging info with the US embassy. He is just a US puppet (We, Argentinians, have our own puppet with Macri and he did not need a coup to get in power, we even choose him with 51 % of the votes!!!)
By the way, thanks for the info about the book from your last post (Martyanov), I already bought it and I could have never known about that book would it not be from your site, bad news is that I am going to get it in September.
it matters not who cast the votes, but who counts them!
What happened in Brasil was a judicial coup d’etat, helped by mass media and, clearly managed by the alphabet agencies, with the purpose of turning the populist measures of Lula and Dilma back, and follow the by now classic path of hyper-capitalism/materialism.
It comes to prove that several points we consider the basis os western democracies, are nothing but facade:
– separation of judicial, legislative and executive powers: yeah right!
– independence of mass media: pull the other leg
– rule of law: hahahaha
