Davos, Dictators, & The Real “Threats To Our Democracy”

Authored by Laura Hollis via The Epoch Times,

Republican presidential candidate (and now presumptive nominee) Donald Trump won the Iowa caucus and the New Hampshire primary in the past week, breaking records in both contests.

In Iowa, Trump received an unprecedented 51 percent of votes cast—more than 30 percentage points ahead of the runner-up, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (who has since left the race and endorsed Trump).

In New Hampshire, Trump received a record 175,000-plus votes and beat former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley by 12-plus percentage points.

Predictably, the American Left is freaking out.

For months, their talking heads have been warning that Trump’s election will usher in a literal dictatorship. As I wrote last week, the baseless accusations are cast at both President Trump and the Americans supporting him. Democrats are ratcheting up this polarizing tactic, which they’ve used for years. In 2008, Barack Obama characterized Americans who opposed his candidacy for president as “bitter” people “clinging” to their “guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them.” During her 2016 presidential campaign, Hillary Clinton declared Trump supporters to be a “basket of deplorables.” In 2024, Democrats are accusing Trump voters of wanting authoritarianism and fascism.

This latest steaming pile of propaganda is inexcusably ignorant. Or perhaps it is yet another instance of projection.

The Americans who plan to vote for President Trump are not supporting him because they prefer his dictatorial inclinations to the other guy’s, but because they want someone in charge of the executive branch who does not see the government’s role as controlling every aspect of their lives.

This stands in stark contrast to the Democratic Party’s efforts to regulate entire industries out of existence, or the mad, anti-liberty, anti-human fever dreams of the globalists on display at the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland.

In 2014, WEF speaker Yuval Harari informed a TEDx event audience that human rights don’t really exist; they are “like heaven or like God—just a fictional story we’ve invented and spread around.” At the 2022 WEF meeting, Alibaba President J. Michael Evans touted a developing “individual carbon footprint tracker” that would monitor where you travel, how you travel, what you eat and what you read on the internet. And the WEF’s 2016 predictions for 2030—including having to pay fines for emitting carbon dioxide (does that include exhaling?), restrictions on meat consumption and the end of private property (“You’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy”)—are infamous.

Americans who support President Trump understand that this country enjoys the prosperity it does, not because the “right” people control everything, but because no one does.

The more control one person or a small cadre of people have—politically or economically—the greater the risks to everyone.

Consider: If one company’s leadership makes a catastrophically bad decision, that company may fail. But in a free, entrepreneurially capitalist country, other companies will be available to provide the goods and services that the failed company can no longer produce. The risk of error is borne by a relative few.

However, if those making a catastrophically wrong decision are in control of an entire industry or an entire economy, then the whole system can collapse, with devastating consequences for millions—tens of millions—of people.

History is replete with examples. The former Soviet Union collapsed politically because its centrally planned economy suffered disaster after disaster. Government takeover of the Venezuelan economy destroyed that once-prosperous country, plunging its residents into abject poverty. When the president of Sri Lanka banned nitrogen-based fertilizer, the country’s agricultural sector collapsed, as did its exports, leaving Sri Lankans without adequate food, fuel, or oil to heat their homes.

Here in the United States, we have witnessed the nasty consequences of plenty of government policy failures: the health risks of COVID-19 shots; the spectacular failure of wind power in Texas during the 2021 winter storm; the inability of electric vehicles to start in the bitter temperatures across the northern U.S. two weeks ago; California’s water shortages and the struggling capacity of its electrical grid.

Egotists like WEF founder Klaus Schwab and his God-complex, like-minded cronies across the globe never consider that they could be wrong about anything.

But they are always wrong about something.

Trump voters do not want a dictator; they do not want an imperial presidency at all.

They want a president who understands that free and independent businesses operating in a minimally regulated environment are the lifeblood of American prosperity. They recognize that an executive branch that refuses to enforce federal laws is failing in its primary constitutional obligations to the American public. They understand that a justice system that picks and chooses whom to prosecute based upon their race, ethnicity, or political belief is no justice at all. They are tired of inflation caused by misguided energy, trade, and environmental policies. They are tired of our veterans suffering and dying with their physical and mental health needs unmet; tired of homeless people living in the streets; tired of open borders, of tens of thousands of Americans dying of fentanyl overdoses, and tired of unpunished crime, all while hundreds of billions of our hard-earned tax dollars get laundered through foreign wars into the pockets of multinational defense contractors, corruptocrat politicians, and warmongering toadies who never saw a foreign conflict they didn’t want to exploit.

These Americans reject the globalist overlords pushing their anti-human philosophies down everyone’s throats, and they fear being enslaved by governments infiltrated by mindless drones in thrall to the latest apocalyptic power grab.

The press and the Left can hand-wave and hyperventilate all they want about “threats to our democracy.” But American voters see where the threats of authoritarianism truly lie, and it isn’t with Donald Trump.

If they select Trump (which, by the predictive programming is looking more likely), then cue the antifa/ blm riots to begin shortly after, as well as liberal judges and lawyers throwing lawfare monkey wrenches at anything he tries to do, media wailing and handwringing every time he opens his mouth, and likely he’ll get talked into bombing Iran at some point leading to a full blown ME war. In short, it’s just the sort of shit-show the people who think they own this world want.

You COULD simply own up to what you did. It seems honesty is off the table here.

Sounds to me like you’d fucking APOLOGIZE if you got caught. That’s just low.

The ONLY threat to so-called democracy is ITSELF…the idea of 51& and 49& can NEVER work, and ALL Governments already KNOW Why.
The REAL enemy of ALL Humanity Is WHITE SUPREMACY!!!
WHO is it that is now using the term “ILLEGAL Aliens” in reference to the so-called “Immigration problem”???
Yet these SAME “Racist” used immigration tactics to take over EVERY Nation around the ENTIRE world!
AMERICA was Invaded by European immigrates, REMEMBER???
It was “White Supremacy” who started “Inviting” border crosier’s so as to deal with the UNIONS and keeping American wages lower.
Corporations Loved it!!!
Now that these SAME People are attempting to find a BETTER place to live (HERE America)…The White supremacist cannot stand it anymore.
Yet THEY are very people who STARTED “Immigration”…REMEMBER???
Human “Beings” were NEVER immigrates…WE WERE “SEEDED” HERE, BY OUR CREATORS!
There was NEVER such thing a “Race” between Humanity!!!
WHITE people crated the very word RACISM or the term “Master Race”…REMEMBER???

Nah .Asians migrated cross the Siberian land mass and down into the American continents during the apex of the Ice age we are currently still coming out of and their descendants made up what were considered to be native occupants a long time before the Europeans showed up so . But they were actually predated by nine foot tall red headed white skinned motherfuckers like me ,who would stomp your dick into the dirt if they have to ,according to the archeological record.Many other than white nations and cultures still practice the barbaric practice of human slavery to this day. Moral takeaways : on a long enough time line everyone’s an asshole, and STFU you don’t know what you are talking about.

From the smoke and sparks I’d say there was a short in there somewhere as well. In a series/parallel circuit, both are possible.

Here is what occurs to me . If you are criminally insane the concept of freedom means something entirely different than it does if you are actually not criminally insane . Therefore , ergo , of course the notion of being held accountable for your criminal trespasses against other people is going to seem like an imposition to your chosen ” lifestyle ” and therefore ” dictatorial ” . Hence the constitution / bill of rights being described as ” a negative charter of liberties ” ( what the government cant do to you ) by Obama ( “The Obama nation of Desolation”) as such a “buzzkill ” towards these peoples proclivities . {Godless postmodernism}” is a walk on a slippery rock . Choke me in the shallow waters before I get too deep” . So ,50 caliber longs guns , every self respecting mountain man oughta have one . Amirite ?

It is true that the jews have used the white race to help the jews and their father satan to spread the power of the jews and the one percent of Moloch mammon/banking control of governments all over the world. They got preferential treatment from the jews, the jews made them wealthy nations, and they in turn gave wars for the jews all over the world to make the jews control every other non white governments.
Is it any wonder that now we white have used up all our usefulness to the jews.
The last few wars were for the bankers so that all nations would accept their power and control, after which the last 7 nations that refused the central jewsih privately owned jewishh central banking system, now are ruined and will be forced to submit and obey Moloch=the illuminati the elite who own all finance and banking the powerful international jews. The whites worshiped the jews, who are the Antichrist, and did their bidding defeating Hitler and believing the holo-hoax giving the Rothschild Pindar, the Holy Land and the Vatican with the greada treaty and billions in reparations for a false fake crime against the jews. They white judeo christian zionists helped them take over Europe and the US.
Is it any wonder that now that their usefulness is over that the jews are going to kill every white christian person on this earth, using the very people that the whites with their wars and colonialism handed over to the jews in their endless wars for the jews???
The jews use and then discard all those who help them, support them or become willing accessories to the evil the jew do world wide, to make themselves very wealthy and powerful.
The whites are idiots, useful idiots, just like the brainless twit that represents them, Biden, who is already dead and replaced with masked actors and clones.
The white race was given special status by these jews, who allowed them into England to make their Moloch mammon religions the banking system of the world.
Whites are very greedy and selfish and they have mostly turned into little clones of the jews, being trans and gay and loving abortion=child sacrifice. They worship money as much as the jews do and have forgotten God and question that Jesus ever existed, becoming atheists just like the jews.
It is what the devil does, the jews are sadists, they put the white race on a pedestal and now they want to lull the rug out from under the white race and laugh as they are destroyed forever, and the icing on the cake for them is having the very people the whites have destroyed culturally as the ones to do the genocide on the whites.
They have already had a trial run in South Africa for the last 30 years, and it worked very well not even anyone discusses the white genocide in South Africa.
All of us white people now can experience, the same genocide that the South Africans have been suffering for 30 years, also including the boer wars and genocide by starvation in concentration camps.
It all happened because the whites had made South Africa great and beautiful, then the jews wanted the gold and the jewels (like kike elon musk’s jewish father)to mine for themselves, and they set the blacks against the whites, who now live in shacks and are impoverished and are murdered and tortured every day.
The jews are evil, and they will make the non white immigrants slaughter every white of European race next in ww3, that should erupt quite soon.
They will use everything evil that exists and turn it all into a weapon system to gennocide the whites, but the truth is the whites and especially the judeo christian zion nit wits, brought to on themselves, they gave the jews the power and wealth to kill us all off in the coming civil wars and ww3, that will end our race forever.
Whites made friends of the enemies of God, the antichrist, and served and emulated them become more jewish themselves from one generation to the next. Turning into white jews themselves, calling themselves the left=worshipers of all that is antichrist, just like the jews.
God has seen it all and will judge each of us and the white race will pay for being responsible for the international jews the elite, the illuminati who are demonic beings from Hell taking over the world as the NWO, and the NWO will reward the service given them by the whites and idiot Christians who think the jews are God’s chosen people, with total genocide very soon. That is how jews reward anyone who befriends them and helps them, they are evil, they destroy everything that is good.
That is what you get for your Israel first morons, it will be Hell one earth for the US, Europe, Scandinavian, Canada, and Australia, until we are all dead.
That is communism, they kill off the best and leave the rest, in every commie jewish revolution run and paid for by the jewish bankers=the reptilian scum rulers of Hell.
This one will kill off billions, and they will all mostly be white.
If you are white say good bye to life on earth, and know that you earned it.
Then you will know that Hitler was right.
They will use Russia united with CHINA to destroy the US, and kill off all Christians and whites, then they will use China to attack and take over Russia, and kill off all the Christians and whites in Russia.
They jews hate us, more than they hate the blacks, they hate anyone they can’t totally control and turn into little meni me jews, anyone who is a child of God, and not on their way to eternal Hell.
All jews are not only destined for eternal Hell, they come from Hell, to take as many more as they can down to eternal Hell. Only those they can mark with the mark of the beast, and take to Hell will be left alive after ww3.
