Autocracy

It's online at bluerow.info and it is a book titled The Blue Road to Trump Hell.

And the subtitle is How Corporate Democrats Paved the Way for Autocracy.

The reality is that Trump didn't just parachute in.

He got help.

Uh, Dusan was, uh...

His, his official title was Emperor and Autocrat of the Serbs and Greeks to Bulgarians and Albanians from thirteen forty-five to thirteen seventy-one AD, okay? This is when this, uh, th-this, this was the reign of Dusan, okay, for the purpose of what we're talking about.

I think he died in, in thirteen eighty.

But, uh, following the conquest of Macedonia in November thirteen forty-five, Dusan proclaimed himself emperor, and he, he claimed that, uh, he laid claim on the Byzantine imperial inheritance, okay? Um, this was very problematic for a lot of reasons, and it also raises questions like in Orthodox Christianity that I have, like, no standing, uh, to talk about, and I also don't know the nuances.

He's written a number of books.

His latest book was called Autocrats versus Democrats, China, Russia, America, and the new global disorder.

Ambassador, is it true that Putin is kidnapping Ukrainian children, bringing them to Russia, and putting them in some type of re-education camps?

Yes, overwhelmingly.

So when President Trump is siding with him, He's out of step with all Americans, not just liberals, but independents.

On this one, this is a fight, in my view, between good and evil.

And thanks for mentioning my book, Autocrats vs. Democrats.

I've given 60 talks.

Trump swears he's a macho billionaire alpha.

Bro, you could have just said you wanted to host HGTV's Queer Eye for the Autocrat.

The man has the career ambitions of a real housewife side character.

Number four, the Liberace Oval Office.

Everyone will be happy.

There won't be any more conflict because conflict comes because of, you know, greedy autocrats and so on.

And we won't have this anymore.

That's the idea behind it.

But we need to stand

for something.

There needs to be a moral component to this crusade in which we're embarking to rid the world of despots and autocrats and the rest of it.

How does this look? And so out of this comes these points.

Do they deride them as fake news? Do they say they're corrupt, not to be trusted? Usually.

That's because autocratic leaders or wannabe autocrats usually have secrets to hide and they know the press could expose them.

Autocrats are afraid of journalists uncovering their corruption, and so autocrats try to silence especially investigative journalists.

That is a very dangerous profession.

Damn Dirty Ape asks, why do some governments become corrupt? Are there structural issues that make some governments more prone to corruption? There can be corruption in any kind of political system, democracies, autocracies.

Any country.

Self-preservation.

Autocrats are deathly afraid of being prosecuted.

And the second year we had people from almost 60 countries, and today we have leaders from, uh, 65 countries.

Unfortunately- Autocracy is a growing problem globally.

Uh, 15 years ago, 42% of the population was living under some sort of autocratic regime.

Uh, and these are not my numbers.

I think 2019 is the last time anybody voted for this guy.

Autocrats.

What's more, Ukraine resumes strikes on Russian oil refineries as President Volodymyr Zelensky angrily accuses the U.S. of the dangerous withdrawal of support critical to its defense against Russia.

What's that famous phrase? You don't bite the hand that feeds you.

The fact is I don't have any fellow conspirators.

Well, didn't you say that you belong to an organization that wants to overthrow the Autocrat?

I didn't say it was an organization.

Well, then how do you expect to-

If you are aware or not of being the ultimate ruler, you fulfill all the requirements.

Why are you telling me this?

I too wish to overthrow the Autocrat.

You? But aren't you a, a member of the regime?

But many people I think are, are not really that afraid.

And for somebody who's thinking, "I mean, whatever I, whatever I believe about Trump, I mean, surely American democracy is too fundamental, too deeply rooted for us to become an, a full-blown autocracy like Belarus or, or Russia," do you think that there's something crucial that this person is, this hypothetical person, is misunderstanding? Is that a real possibility?

So what they're misunderstanding is that there's a lot of decay and decline between the ideal of democracy and Belarus or Russia.

So the, you know, and there, and there are a lot of in-between stages.

And if they can do that openly, then, you know, the- The, if they aren't stopped, and if Americans don't stop them, then you could get this slow decline.

I mean, it doesn't mean you'll wake up tomorrow and there'll be people goose-stepping down the street.

I mean, that's not how, um, that's not how autocracy are created nowadays, and it doesn't mean there'll be a coup d'état or, like, tanks or, you know, somebody shooting up the White House like in movies.

Um, y- you know, most democracies now decline because a democratically elected leader, uh, undermines the institutions of the state, of the electoral system, of the legal system, and seeks to remain in power or, or par- her party seeks to remain in power indefinitely.
