hornberger shows you how the mango mussolini became the empire's dictator;

Some people think that the United States is safe from dictatorship because the country is a democracy. It’s only in totalitarian countries, they hold, that people are subject to dictatorship.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Such people are confusing how a ruler gets elected with the powers that the ruler has after being elected. A democratically elected ruler can wield and exercise dictatorial powers.

Case in point: President Donald Trump. He is the democratically elected president of the United States. He also wields and exercises dictatorial power over the American people.

The system of government that the Framers established with the Constitution provided for three branches of government — executive, legislative, and judicial. The Constitution delegated certain powers to each branch. The legislative branch was charged with enacting laws, including laws that imposed taxes on people. The executive branch was charged with enforcing the laws. The judicial branch was charged with interpreting the laws and, if need be, declaring them unconstitutional.

In a dictatorship, the dictator doesn’t have to concern himself with legislation or judicial interpretation. What he says goes. When he issues a dictate, it automatically becomes set in stone as the law.

Trump’s conduct in his trade war with China confirms how far the United States has gone in the direction of a democratically elected dictatorship.

Notice that Trump initiated his trade war all on his own, by unilaterally raising tariffs on products that are imported from China. He didn’t go to Congress and seek a law that raised tariffs. He just issued the dictate that raised tariffs. ........https://www.fff.org/2019/08/26/donald-trump-americas-democratic-dictator/

engdahl speaks in this article about the solar minimum we seem to be experiencing and where it could lead;


Our planet seems to be in a growing crisis in terms of agriculture and crop production related to unusual weather shifts. Many reports in recent months use the term “extreme weather” to describe record heat across Europe this summer, record flooding in US Midwest farm states, or record drought across India and major parts of Africa and China. Parts of the USA Midwest are undergoing the worst growing conditions since at least the 1980s. In the UK the weather has been ruinous to the grain harvest there. The crucial question to ask is whether we can assume, as many do, that this is all part of man-made global warming, today renamed climate change, or whether it can be caused by something quite different: The periodic cycles of solar activity that in the past months have entered what astro-scientists call a “solar minimum.” If it is due to the latter, we are spending huge sums on addressing a wrong problem, in fact trillions of dollars .
Until this July large parts of India were suffering record drought. Chennai reservoirs were down to 0.2% of capacity over the past two years as a severe heat wave saw 99% less water than a year ago. Acute water shortages have forced thousands to flee their villages. Though in early August above-average monsoon seasonal rains relieved the situation in some parts, so far the rainfall is far from adequate to restore empty reservoirs across India. In China severe drought has left about 800,000 hectares of crops affected in northern China’s Hebei Province with rainfall some 55% below normal. That comes as a devastation of China’s pig population from the deadly African Swine Fever spreads and crops across the country are being destroyed by a plague of Army Fallworm infestation that is resistant to most weed-killers.
At the same time record rains have devastated agriculture in key growing regions. In the UK excessive rainfall in August has brought the wheat harvest to a halt according to the National Farmers’ Union. Across the major US Midwest record snowfall in winter, coupled with record rains this spring, have severely delayed plantings for corn and soybeans. The twelve months through July have been the wettest on record in the Midwest grain belt resulting in millions of acres going unplanted.
In Africa, Zambia is experiencing the worst drought since 1981, and severe drought in other African countries is reported.

Solar Minimum…

The events have been dramatized by various advocacy groups and political parties as proof that man-made global warming– emissions of CO2 from industry, coal plants, cars and the like– are the cause. We are being inundated with proposals for new taxes in the hundreds of billions of dollars in especially the European Union, taxes that we are told are needed to solve this problem. What if we are focused on the wrong cause-effect relation?
Recent research suggests that we have been too limited in our science and are ignoring what is likely orders of magnitude a greater influence in world weather and its shifts than any manmade emissions. What is relevant to this discussion is the fact that no linear climate model used by the UN IPCC or any of the hundreds of climate think tanks around the world are able to model what is by far the greatest single factor affecting our weather, the “moody” sun.........http://www.williamengdahl.com/englishNEO26August2019.php

pcr asks, and answers some good questions surrounding trump ordering corporations doing business abroad to come home;


Can the American Economy Be Resurrected?
Paul Craig Roberts
“Lenin said that capitalists would sell the Communists the rope to hang them. But as matters turned out, capitalists let China sell them the labor that served to hang American capitalism.” — Michael Hudson
I was surprised to be given credit by readers for Trump ordering American corporations out of China and to bring the jobs back to the American workers that the corporations had abandoned. American economists, financial media, and Washington policymakers had never paid any attention to my analysis of US economic decline in terms of globalism and the offshoring of US jobs and technology, and I thought readers hadn’t either. Many readers tell me that economics is over their heads. My economic articles are the least read on my website.
I was again surprised when foreign media, including Press TV in far distant Iran, immediately contacted me requesting an interview about my influence on the White House. What does it all mean?
First, I will say that it is possible that someone showed Trump my latest column ( https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2019/08/21/what-globalism-did-was-to-transfer-the-us-economy-to-china/ ), and that the light switched on. But it is also possible that Trump ordering the corporations home is just an escalation in his threats and reflects not his understanding but the impotence of tariffs to correct the lack of good jobs for Americans and the decline in their real incomes..........https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2019/08/26/can-the-american-economy-be-resurrected/

sent by a friend and seems reasonably accurate to me;

MY SON WAS FLUNKING OUT OF COLLEGE SO I TOLD HIM,

"YOU WILL MARRY THE GIRL I CHOOSE."

 

HE SAID, "NO."

 

I TOLD HIM, "SHE IS BILL GATES' DAUGHTER."

 

HE SAID, "YES."

 

I CALLED BILL GATES AND SAID,

"I WANT YOUR DAUGHTER TO MARRY MY SON."

 

BILL GATES SAID, "NO."

 

I TOLD BILL GATES,

"MY SON IS THE CEO OF THE WORLD BANK."

 

BILL GATES SAID, "OK."

 

I CALLED THE PRESIDENT OF WORLD BANK AND

ASKED HIM TO MAKE MY SON THE CEO.

 

HE SAID, "NO."

 

I TOLD HIM, "MY SON IS BILL GATES' SON-IN-LAW."

 

HE SAID, "OK."

 

AND THAT'S EXACTLY HOW

POLITICS WORKS HERE IN  AMERICA.

 

And thus, began the practice of hiring morons to

work in influential positions of government.

 

This practice is "STATUS QUO"

& still unbroken to this day.

Enigmas

(1) Isn't it weird that in America our flag and our culture offend so
many people, but our benefits don't?

(2) How can the federal government ask U.S. citizens to pay back
student loans, when illegal aliens are receiving a free
education?

 

(3) Only in America are legal citizens labeled "racists" and "Nazis,"
but illegal aliens are called "Dreamers."

(4)
Liberals say, "If confiscating all guns saves just one life, it's
worth it." Well then, if deporting all illegals saves just one
life, wouldn't that be worth it?

(5)
I can't quite figure out how you can proudly wave the flag of
another country but consider it punishment to be sent back
there. 

 

(6) The Constitution: It doesn't need to be rewritten; it needs to be
reread.

( 7) William F. Buckley said: "Liberals claim to want to give a
hearing to other points of view and are shocked and offended when they discover there are other points of view." 

 

(8) Joseph Sobran said: " 'Need' now means wanting someone else's money. 'Greed' means wanting to keep your own. 'Compassion' is when a politician arranges the transfer."
