Alliance of Democracies Summit: The Glass House Where the Power Elite Gather to Throw Stones WRITTEN BY: ALAN MACLEOD PUBLISHED ON: MAY 15, 2021

The lineup of presidents, generals and CEOs makes it clear that what was stated is effectively the collective view of the world’s elite and a window into their thinking and the debates they are having. What they decide will affect all of us, whether we realize it or not.

COPENHAGEN, DENMARK — The United States is the nation that most threatens democracy worldwide, far more than Russia or even China. That is the headline finding from a new worldwide poll of 53 countries commissioned by the Alliance of Democracies (AoD). The poll also found that the global public considers rising inequality and the increased power of the super rich to be the greatest threat to liberty and democracy.

This was likely not the response the Alliance of Democracies wished to hear as it opened its third annual Democracy Summit in Copenhagen this week — precisely because the organization represents the U.S. government and the wealthy elite more generally. Featuring an all-star panel of American officials, Western heads of state and military leaders, this year’s summit was somber in tone and focused on the “urgent need” for Western nations to unite and come up with a “transatlantic response” to counter both Russia and China. To that end, there was talk of building an “Asian NATO” and of further controlling what can be said online, all in the service of defending and upholding democracy from these foes. ...

“Alliance of Democracies Summit”

It just reeks of globalism by its very name.

I do believe in a League of Democracies. Trade with each other and have nothing to do with those that aren’t free. English speaking nations will dominate and have the ability to admit and kick out flaky countries. Under these other systems a country like Turkey is in NATO? Chicoms on the human rights panel? One dominant country(US) or 2-3 can be the security council. All will be in sync.

One of those words that fascists like to throw around, like ‘racist ‘.

Many of the issues they canvas can only be sorted out with military confrontation and war. But it is typical of elites not to recognize that fact, and therefore they are most likely to cause war.

The same kind of gatherings were held in Europe before WWII in response to the rise of Nationalist Socialists in many countries as well as Germany and Italy.Most of the elite supported the Nazis, men like Joseph Kennedy and Charles Lindbergh.

Its no different today.Appeasement is a dish best served cold.Making money is more important to the elite than almost anything else.

This is from the article:
Controlling the internet
Day two of the conference focused more on the coronavirus and the threat to democracies posed by fake news and disinformation online. In one panel titled “Regulating Social Media and Protecting the Public From Harm,” participants discussed how the U.S. and Europe could come together to formulate a united approach to controlling digital communications. The discussion was particularly notable because panelists included Michael Chertoff, co-author of the PATRIOT Act, which stripped Americans citizens of a wide range of rights under the guise of national security and fighting terrorism. Also on the panel were two British conservative members of parliament, an advisor to the executive vice president of digital affairs for the European Commission, and a member of Facebook’s oversight board, the body that regulates what the platform’s 2.6 billion people see in their news feeds. These individuals are so influential that their opinions and decisions could well affect virtually the entire world.

Together, they agreed that more cooperation between big tech and big government was necessary in order to reduce the amount of false information and harmful content online. This in itself is little new: in 2018 Facebook announced that it had partnered with the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensics Lab to help regulate and curate its newsfeeds, effectively giving up partial control to the NATO-aligned organization. It also hired a former NATO press officer as its intelligence chief earlier this year.

Ah, zee parade of elitist fascistis!

Adolf knew exactly how to use and abuse them.
Especially the industrialists of Germany.

Today, we have Biden, Harris, Rice and a few others with Obama pulling the puppet strings.Biden has already met with the elites of Russia and China. He knows his part perfectly.

AoD originally sprang from the Alliance of Civilizations
idea pulled from Iranian leader Khamenei’s butt. His brainchild was adopted by the same communist jerk in Spain who got elected due to the Madrid bombing, Zapeta or whatever his name was. And Erdogan of Turkey also had a hand in it. One of their goals was a global “blasphemy law” to restrict freedom of speech.

I somehow cannot see Putin standing with Biden. (Or Biden's handlers.) This bunch has been using Russia as a punching bag and scapegoat. If I were Putin, the only reason I would have any sort of conversation or contact with Biden would be to suss him out and manipulate him. Biden isn't worth the time of day to the leader of Russia.

I posted this in Gab and nobody read it.
I posted this in FreeRepublic and I don’t think anybody read it before commenting.
Zuckerberg and Eric Schmidt became billionaires working for Hillary Clinton in 2011 in orchestrating the Arab Spring Wars that killed over 600,000 people and flooded the world with 6 million refugees.

I’m always amazed by the reaction Neville Chamberlain had of Hitler.

In public he said of him “Herr Hitler is a man I can work with’’.

In private Chamberlain said of Hitler “He is the commonest little swine I’ve ever encountered’’.

Biden is a dope. For sale for the right price.

Putin is a soul less killer. A former Lt. Colonel in the KGB.

...A former Lt. Colonel in the KGB.

Who included the works of Solzhenitsyn in the education curriculum, and gave him a State funeral.

Like putting curtains over the bars in the cell window. I’m supposed to think Vlad’s a nice guy?

I’ll say one thing about this Bolshevik bastard, he says what he means and means what he says.
