It Makes Sense That Trump Is Planning A Coup, But Would First Try To Cancel The Nov. Election

Dear Mary,

Thanks for forwarding the article about Orban, a textbook authoritarian-fascist.

For the last few days I've meant to re-work the following blog-post/warning which I wrote in 2017.

Trump Will Go Full-Throttle Fascist Following The First Major Terror Attack.
Putin Knows This. 
(He Also Knows How To Hack The United States.)

Mind you, I don't think my apprehension is anything like a "done deal."

But I do see high probability that Trump will either "busy giddy minds with foreign quarrels" (an Iran attack is already subject for speculation) - or he will collaborate (albeit passively) in a "false flag" terror event to justify martial law and subsequent suspension of November's election.

"You Still Don't Get It?" 
Trump Colludes By The INACTION Of NOT OBSTRUCTING Putin's Meddling

Trump knows that if he loses in November, the federal court of New York's Southern District will find him guilty of multiple felonies and send him to The Big House - perhaps for the rest of his life.

Trump will not do well in the slammer. 

No better than Jeffrey Epstein. 

It also goes without saying (although it needs to be said) that Trump WILL DO ANYTHING to save his ass.

Not only would Trump perpetrate an "under the table" coup to escape judgment -- just as Orban has already perped his coup in Hungary -- "Un-Potty-Trained-73-Year-Old" would perp a coup "in a New York minute."

Malignant Messiah is already a traitor. 

There is nothing standing in his way except, perhaps, a critical mass of citizens and military brass who understand that a coup is totally consistent with Trump's character and mobster M.O. This critical mass of suspicious citizens would then need to begin open discussion of the possibility of a Trump coup as storm clouds darken.

And they are getting dark indeed.

"Trump Is A Traitor By Virtue Of Normalizing Falsehood And Teaching Americans To Do The Same"

Tyranny's Best-Kept Secret: It's All About Epistemology

Although I am fully prepared for my seemingly weird hypothesis to crash-and-burn, I also want to be on record with the observation that Trump is sufficiently diabolical that he would conspire -- overtly or covertly (by way of inaction) -- so that Putin gets the green light to destroy one of his own properties (which, being insured, he would LOVE to unload). 

What better diversion from Truth than Trump attacking his own property.

Lamentably, the Achilles Heel of many good people is that they are unwilling to impute diabolical intent to their fellows.

God knows Malignant Messiah's cabinet would never invoke The 25th Amendment by calling Trump's sanity into question.

And so it is that every now and again, a Hitler "happens"... amidst the CERTAINTY that "it couldn't happen here."

Love

Alan

Coronavirus kills its first democracy

March 30, 2020 at 9:00 p.m. PDT
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban delivers his speech about the current state of the coronavirus outbreak in the House of Parliament in Budapest on March 23. (Tamas Kovacs/MTI/AP)Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban delivers his speech about the current state of the coronavirus outbreak in the House of Parliament in Budapest on March 23. (Tamas Kovacs/MTI/AP) 
You could say that Hungary was already “immunocompromised.” A decade under the nation’s illiberal nationalist prime minister, Viktor Orban, has corroded the state’s checks and balances, cowed the judiciary, enfeebled civil society and the free press, and reconfigured electoral politics to the advantage of Orban’s ruling Fidesz party. So, when the coronavirus pandemic hit, Budapest’s ailing democracy proved all too vulnerable.
On Monday, Hungary’s parliament passed a controversial bill that gave Orban sweeping emergency powers for an indefinite period of time. Parliament is closed, future elections were called off, existing laws can be suspended and the prime minister is now entitled to rule by decree. Opposition lawmakers had tried to set a time limit on the legislation but failed. Orban’s commanding two-thirds parliamentary majority made his new powers a fait accompli.
The measures were invoked as part of the government’s response to the global pandemic. Hungary had reported close to 450 cases as of Monday evening, and Orban has already cast the threat of the virus in politically convenient terms, labeling it a menace carried by unwelcome foreign migrants and yet more justification for his aggressive efforts to police the country’s borders. “Changing our lives is now unavoidable,” Orban told lawmakers last week when justifying the proposed bill. “Everyone has to leave their comfort zone. This law gives the government the power and means to defend Hungary.”
The emergency law also stipulates five-year prison sentences for Hungarians found to be spreading “false” information, as well as prison terms for those defying mandated quarantines. Critics argue that vital support for the country’s health-care system is still lacking, while Orban has given himself carte blanche to exercise even more domineering control.
“I don’t know of another democracy where the government has effectively asked for a free hand to do anything for however long,” Renata Uitz, director of the comparative constitutional law program at Central European University in Budapest, said to Bloomberg News.
“This bill, once signed into law, will almost certainly put even greater pressure on what’s left of Hungary’s independent media,” noted Emily Tamkin of the New Statesman. “One man’s misinformation is another man’s report on increasing illiberalism.”

Hungarian Parliament passes bill that gives PM Orbán unlimited power & proclaims:

- State of emergency w/o time limit
- Rule by decree
- Parliament suspended
- No elections
- Spreading fake news + rumors: up to 5 yrs in prison
- Leaving quarantine: up to 8 yrs in prison




Orban’s many detractors elsewhere in Europe see this gambit as a potential pathway to dictatorship. Ahead of the parliamentary vote, leading figures in Brussels and Strasbourg warned against an “indefinite and uncontrolled state of emergency” that would further undermine Hungarian democracy. On Monday, former Italian prime minister Matteo Renzi tweeted what many liberal Europeans feel — that Hungary’s illiberal slide threatens the values of the European Union as a whole and could merit its expulsion from the bloc.
But there’s no clear path forward for such drastically punitive action, not least as the continent flounders in its battle against the coronavirus. And Orban has his supporters, too. He has been lionized as a nationalist hero for the West’s anti-immigrant populists and welcomed to the White House by President Trump.
On Monday, far-right Italian leader Matteo Salvini defended Orban’s new powers as part of the “free choice” of a democratically elected parliament. For years, center-right parties in Europe have allowed Orban’s Fidesz party to shelter under their umbrella in the European Parliament, denting Europe’s ability to effectively censure Hungary. Now, you may see renewed calls for Fidesz’s expulsion from that conservative continental alliance.
Orban and his allies have rejected criticism from those who have characterized the new law as anti-democratic, insisting that the measures are temporary and will end once the threat of the pandemic subsides. Others aren’t so sure.
“Everyone should think twice before giving Orban the benefit of the doubt,” Dalibor Rohac of the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank, wrote last week. “His decade-long premiership has been marked by a continual assault on any constraints on his power — whether by courts, civil society or the media.”
Rohac, writing in the opinion pages of The Washington Post, continued: “Hungary’s previous moves toward authoritarianism were disguised as a necessary reaction to outside threats: foreign corporate interests during the financial crisis, ‘cosmopolitan elites’ during the refugee crisis of 2016, or, whenever the occasion demands, the philanthropist George Soros (a staple of Orban’s nativist playbook).”
 Hungary’s prime minister is not alone in exploiting this public health crisis for his political advantage. His kindred spirit, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, leveraged the threat of the pandemic into what critics branded a parliamentary “coup,” delaying his own trial on corruption charges while potentially securing a new political mandate to return to power.
In nearby Poland, opposition groups are infuriated that the ruling right-wing nationalist government is forging ahead with plans for May presidential elections, despite lockdowns and concerns that the virus is far more widespread than authorities have acknowledged. Polling suggests incumbent President Andrzej Duda would be in a far stronger position if the elections aren’t delayed. 
While the threat of a pandemic requires national governments to sometimes exercise unique emergency powers, analysts have warned throughout the recent crisis of the risk of demagogic leaders harnessing public anxiety to their benefit.
“In states of emergency, there may be a need to temporarily derogate from certain rights and procedures but any such measures need to be temporary, proportionate and absolutely necessary from a public health perspective,” Lydia Gall, an Eastern Europe researcher with Human Rights Watch, told The Washington Post, referring to Orban’s pursuit of unchecked power. “Vaguely formulated provisions, as can be seen in the state of emergency legislation adopted, do not fulfill those criteria and certainly not when they are set for an indefinite period of time.”

Capitalism is Literally Killing America

How Capitalism is Adding Disaster to Catastrophe — in the Middle of a Pandemic


Umair Haque
March 27, 2020

Just how badly has American capitalism failed? Consider the following.
The White House backed out of a deal to manufacture ventilators because the price tag was too high. Go ahead and guess. Ready? It was…one billion dollars. Sound like a lot? Too much? For ventilators for…the entire country…in the middle of a pandemic…that’s already spiraling out of control?
Then think about this.
Jeff Bezos is worth $113 billion. Zuck, about $60 billion. Warren Buffett, about $70 billion. Are you seeing my point yet? Let me make it clearer. Either Bezos or Zuck or Buffett — or any number of penny-ante mega-billionaires — could pay for all the ventilators America needs right now, and not even blink. Not even think twice.
Take Bezos, for example. That one billion dollars to supply the country with ventilators is less than one percent of his net worth. The net worth of the average American household is about $100K. That’s like the average American spending…a thousand dollars. The net worth of the average millennial is about $10K. That’s like the average millennial spending…one hundred dollars.
That’s how trivial it is for a Bezos to literally supply the entire country with ventilators. It’s pocket money. To call it chump change would be an overstatement. He could do it and he’d literally never even notice the money was gone. It would take his accountant a lifetime to even begin to care.
Is your head spinning yet? It should be. What on earth?
All that, my friends, is an object lesson in the profound and surreal failure of capitalism. Let me now put it in simpler terms.
Capitalism is adding disaster to tragedy, by way of needless scarcity.
Suddenly, a society experiences a catastrophe — in this case, a pandemic. That would be bad enough. But because a tiny number of people in society have hoarded all the resources — in this case money, which really just means foregone ventilators — a society cannot respond to its catastrophe well at all. What happens next? What happens is what’s going to happen.
People are going to die. In fact, they already have. Perhaps you read about the poor kid who was turned away from an urgent care center for a lack of insurance. That’s not a ventilator, but it’s not exactly hard to see how a lack of ventilators is going to start killing Americans en masse very, very soon, if it hasn’t already.
Capitalism is adding disaster to tragedy…by way of needless scarcity.


Coronavirus Pandemic: Trump Does Not Intend To Save The U.S. Economy. He Intends To Save...
How much is one billion dollars, anyways? The American economy is worth about $20 trillion. One billion is a vanishingly small fraction of that. How small, exactly? One twenty thousandth, or .00005%. It’s so small, I might have missed a decimal place there — and it doesn’t matter, because it’s that minuscule.
And yet the government can’t raise one twenty thousandth of the size of the economy in order to provide society with the one resource it needs most to survive a pandemic — ventilators.
Think about that math for a second. Really just think about it.
What would it say about you if you couldn’t raise one twenty thousandth of your income to, say, give your kids life saving medicine? That’s a flawed analogy, but I struggle for anything — anything at all — to express the magnitude of this failure well. I literally can’t think of anything remotely close to it, so let me simply try to express it again, even more concisely.

"The Love Of Money Is The Root Of All Evil" - An Open Invitation To Christian Conservatives

Ted Nugent Reveals The Essential Piggishness Of The Good Christians' "Party Of Family Values"
Trump: The Culmination Of Capitalist Piggery
The government can’t raise one twenty thousandth of the whole economy’s income to pay for a critical resource during a pandemic — ventilators — while it would cost a Bezos maybe one hundred of his wealth to provide them for the whole country.
What on earth? My head is spinning. Is yours? It’s so grotesque, baffling, obscene, it’s literally impossible to process. How is it that in the richest society in human history, apparently — pennies can’t be found for ventilators? And yet it’s wealthiest man could single-handedly provide them, and never even notice?
Now, here’s the even more distressing part. Bezos (or Zuck, Buffett, etc) can’t spend all that money anywaysThere is simply no way that you can spend a hundred billion dollars. What would you do? You could buy up all the luxury properties and mega yachts, and you’d barely have made a dent. You’d have to buy entire cities, nations, and whole social systems. Which is effectively what a Bezos has done. Americans don’t have ventilators because Bezos has hundreds of billions. Americans don’t have healthcare because billionaires have all the money in their society.

Proof Positive: "We Live In The United States Of Barbaria"

"The United States Of Barbaria": It Comes Down To Cruelty...

When I have more money than I can ever spend, then there is no real cost to me to supply you, say, with ventilators. Do you see how grotesque that paradox is? That is what “artifical scarcity” means. Jeff Bezos having a billion less wouldn’t actually cost him anything, because he can’t spend it anyways. All him having those billions does is cost everyone else life-saving resources, like ventilators in a lethal pandemic.

"Compendium Of Best Pax Posts On Trump, Toxic Christianity And Cruelty As A Moral Obligation"

So let’s put this epic failure in more technical terms.
Capitalism has misallocated capital on a truly stunning and surreal scale in America. It’s created a system where an entire nation goes without the critical, life-saving resources they need, in the midst of a lethal global pandemic — while the wealthy could literally buy Americans those resources single-handedly, and doing so wouldn’t make a dent in their fortunes. But the wealthy can’t spend all that money to begin with. It’s literally just sitting there, going to no good use. Like, say, the critical one of ventilators. The result will obviously be needless death on a massive scale.
Economists call all that a “deadweight loss.” If American economists were actually good ones, they’d immediately understand that capitalism is a colossal and tragic failure. Consider the Soviet Union — Americans used to make fun of it for breadlines. But now Americans are the ones beset by artificial scarcities.

What’s scarce in America?

Yesterday — healthcare, retirement, decent work, education, good food, and so on. The basics.
Today?

The critical, life-saving necessities. Ventilators, masks, protective equipment.

This Is Alarming: "(Why Millennials Are) America's First Poor Generation," Umair Haque

Capitalism — as an economy — literally cannot supply these things to society. It is more interested in billionaires hoarding as much wealth as possible — and then crafting political mechanisms to protect that wealth. And yet that wealth is too much, in the simple sense that nobody can even spend it.
But when I have too much money that I can never spend, of course you will go without — because the economy slowly grinds to a halt, as my money simply sits there idle, instead of being invested in the things you need. That is what “artificial scarcity” means: ventilators aren’t really scarce, we just can’t make them because only Jeff Bezos can afford them, since he’s now as rich as…a whole healthcare system, which Americans now go without, since those resources belong to him.
What we see at this dire stage of American capitalism is a kind of evolution, backwards, devolution. Yesterday, basics were in perpetual, artificial short supply — money, retirement, healthcare, etc. But you can eke out a life without basics, still. Just one without dignity and meaning and happiness. Yet today, the situation is much worse. Critical, life-saving resources are now artificially scarce. And you can’t live without those.
The result? People will die — needlessly, on a staggering scale.
I can’t think of an economic system failing in a more disastrous way than that. A truer way than that. You don’t have a ventilator that might save your, your kid’s, your partner’s life — meanwhile, the wealthy could buy them for all, for every single person in society…at literally no real cost to themselves. There is literally no better example of what Marx famously called “exploitation” than all that: you dying, during a pandemic because the super rich have such an absurd amount of resources in society that they could literally buy everyone life itself, and not even notice, yet won’t, because, well…why care? Americans are being exploited and abused by capitalism now not just into poverty and overwork and social disintegration — but into lethal illness and death itself. Yes, really — in hard, cold, absolute, unforgiving terms.
Let them eat ventilators? It puts Versailles to shame.
I have few word left to express how I feel about all this. But I am not the point. You are. Some day, the world hopes, Americans will understand just how badly capitalism has abused and exploited them. Because the world is made of good people, who want the best, still, even for Americans. The question is whether Americans want that for themselves.

Alan: Bernie Sanders' genius resides is his "dog-with-a-bone tenacity" to stay on message. Bernie's gist is this. The 1% is ungodly piggish. What the rest of us need to do in order to be well-educated, responsible, democratic citizens is to "follow the money." With this simple-dimple, cuttingly-direct message, Bernie has nearly normalized Democratic Socialism or what I call "Socialized Democracy." In just 8 years, it is a "new ball game" in America. Make no mistake: One form or another of "Socialized Democracy" is the governmental system that prevails in Germany, France, Sweden, Denmark, Great Britain, Japan, Australia, Italy, Canada, Norway, Spain, Finland, Ireland, Belgium, New Zealand, Austria, Switzerland or the Netherlands — all countries that have successfully achieved a balance between capitalism and socialism.
