USING DEMOCRACY TO DESTROY DEMOCRACY
A CAUSE CELEBRE POPULIST BECOMES PARTY LEADER AND IS ELECTED PRESIDENT/LEADER
THEN, AS PRESIDENT/LEADER-
- CONSOLIDATES POWER AT VARIOUS LEVELS OF GOVERNANCE
- ELIMINATES OR CONTROLS “DEMOCRATIC” INSTITUTIONS, THE JUDICIARY, REPLACES KEY PERSONNEL, TAKES CONTROL OF THE MEDIA
- SUSPENDS OR IGNORES THE CONSTITUTION, RULE OF LAW, OTHER PROTECTED POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS
- RESTRICTS POLITICAL AND PERSONAL FREEDOMS, SPEECH, ASSEMBLY, CONFISCATES ALL WEAPONS AND JAILS ANY OPPONENTS
- CONTROLS THE ELECTION PROCESS. WHO VOTES. WHO COUNTS THE VOTE. WHO REPORTS THE VOTE.
- ESTABLISHES A CULT FOLLOWING AS SOLE AUTHORITY AND INSTITUTES A SYSTEM OF POLITICAL PATRONAGE AND FINANCIAL EXPLOITATION
AND IF AFTER LOSING, THE EX-LEADER CREATES CHAOS TO REGAIN CONTROL
BEWARE, ARE WE HEADING THERE OR ARE WE THERE?
THE FUTURE BEGINS TODAY!
