I wonder what our Corporate Gods are up to now in Guatemala. According to corporate news they avoided a coup this past week. How much of that is true? Is it the one put in office ours or the one kept out?

Of course, there's Indonesia now, that the U.S. is exerting great influence over. What are we doing there to determine the outcome?

Many news outlets are paying attention to that election and the NYT is fearmongering over the possible winner. The results could be the “End of Democracy!” according to the Hearst like ‘Yellow Journal’ for that country, as if the U.S. wanted democracy to be. Our leaders see the citizens determining their fate in a democracy and to them that's evil and bad, it's “Communism!”. Indonesia is important now that it is in the Sphere of Influence in our struggle for dominance with China and Russia.

Let's see if the people actually win in their election.

Guatemala has been the same since the overthrow of democracy by the US in the 50's, and the end of the civil war in the 80's. Extremely right-wing. This kind of rule brings out the worst in criminal elements of corruption; hence Kamala Harris traveling there to warn them the US may have to take action -- the subtext of which was stop Guatemalan refugees from crossing Mexico to try and get into the US. This is so ironic because her boss Joe Biden helped create that corruption from 1972 forward. Indonesia is heavily manipulated by the CIA: 1) because they're numerously Muslim; and, 2) because the US wants absolute control in the Pacific to place a military ring around China. The CIA has practiced false flag manipulations for decades, especially with ANY country that questions the US capitalistic cause. Capitalism as it stands cares nought for human rights nor dignity, and the imprimatur of capitalism is both fascistic and similar to the code of the Highlander -- "There can only be one". The plans of the Dulles brothers is blooming spectacularly now in the world, and no amount of death and destruction is distasteful to its adherents. Whatever can be said about Guatemala can also be said about El Salvador. Those countries block the path from Central America to the north. Rebels in both countries are biding there time, waiting for the US to slip, and it will. The US is trillions of dollars in debt due to this neverending warfare, yet idiots in Congress (even those who say they want to reduce spending) and the Executives have raised the military budgets from $750b/yr to $1.5TR/ year in less than 5 years. We know this money is not coming from corporations or the 1%, but from people who actually work for a living. Communism has been the battle cry of the wealthy since the 1800's. Sorry for being so lengthy. The whole propaganda concerning socialism and communism makes my blood boil🤯 and now we see the US with their protogé Israel stabbing once friendly Arabs in the back in order to control Middle East resources. 🥺

It's hard to see who is going to be the one to throw the whole can of gas on the smouldering wreckage of Israel's and U.S./Allies's bombing of the two's various targets.

I do think, and believe me I'm not very informed, that BRICS is accelerating these U.S. machinations. I understand the BRICS alliance can now issue loans to countries. That has got to hurt the West's sense of entitlement and maybe threaten the dollar's hegemony.

You're right about BRICS, but the US has only itself to blame. We like the idea of competition, not the actual thing, especially when it affects our hegemony.
