When Franklin D. Roosevelt said "The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself," he meant that the accumulation of excessive private power can pose a threat to democratic institutions and individual freedoms, and that it is the responsibility of the people to ensure that private power does not become dominant over the state and society. He was warning against the dangers of concentrated corporate and financial power that could undermine the democratic process and limit the ability of people to shape their own destinies.

Hence, the World Economic Forum's public-private partnerships are a threat to democracy and should never be allowed to subvert duly elected governments of the people's free and fair elections.

great overview of the last and present centuries' geopolitics, Matt.

The late Mae Brussell covered much of this, including Reinhardt Gehlen, in her 70's and 80's radio show World Watchers International out of the Pacific Grove, California, Pacifica radio station, she was both of and ahead of her time. I highly recommend checking out websites devoted to her broadcasts, I watched them at the time and often the hair on the back of my neck stood up, what she was reporting on was pretty scary stuff. Lost of red pills before we knew what that was.

Last week we watched The Diplomat on Netflix and it was very interesting seeing the left try and present their biased viewpoints (all Conservatives are Bad) while well-written and great production values and performances by the left-supporting woke actors, British and American.
