Javier Milei is rejecting the right of our rulers to rule us, and that scares our rulers. From Robert W. Malone, MD, MS, at rwmalonemd.substack.com:
Argentina has elected an academic economist as president. His battlecry? “Long live freedom, damn it!”
“The greatest danger to the State is independent intellectual criticism; there is no better way to stifle that criticism than to attack any isolated voice, any raiser of new doubts, as a profane violator of the wisdom of his ancestors. Another potent ideological force is to deprecate the individual and exalt the collectivity of society. For since any given rule implies majority acceptance, any ideological danger to that rule can only start from one or a few independently thinking individuals. The new idea, much less the new critical idea, must needs begin as a small minority opinion; therefore, the State must nip the view in the bud by ridiculing any view that defies the opinions of the mass. “Listen only to your brothers” or “adjust to society” thus become ideological weapons for crushing individual dissent. By such measures, the masses will never learn of the nonexistence of the Emperor’s clothes.”
Anatomy of the State, Murray N. Rothbard
Oops, they did it again.
First Giorgia Meloni was elected prime minister of Italy. This despite the objections and smears of the self-important and seemingly all-powerful US Deep State and its Mockingbird press, which in the run up to the Italian general election had painted her as the second coming of Benito Mussolini. Never mind that the politics of the corporatist Deep State are a lot closer to Mussolini’s fascist vision than those of Meloni, who in the “real world” pragmatically governs from center-right – to the great disappointment of many on both sides of the spectrum.
In the current US corporate media-approved version of the political spectrum, the go-to political character assassination terms “Trump-like”, “alt right”, “far right”, fascist, libertarian, neo-Nazi, and radical are all bundled up as synonyms, interchangeably and reflexively applied to anyone whose political beliefs are to the right of the modern embodiments of Marx and Engels’ version of socialism collectively referred to as “Woke” culture. Each interchangeable term being repeatedly weaponized and launched in harmonized Qassam rocket barrages against non-sycophant independent thinkers, writers, politicians, scientists or physicians who refuse to contort their speech to fit the approved narratives, gender identifiers and pretzel logic of the Globalist oligarchy.
Unfortunately for those who maintain the thesaurus of approved “advocacy journalism” euphemisms, “anti-Semitic” has recently become both too inconvenient and too complicated, necessitating that it be struck from currently approved character assassination lexicon.
At the risk of leading with a trite observation, “it is what it is.”
In the face of almost unimaginable poverty and ever-accelerating inflation – together with the staunch alignment of the usual suspects in opposition to him – impugning the very idea of LESS government largess and control, the vote significantly favored Javier!
My key takeaway is that the favorable vote for Milei was dominated by the young! Contrast that with what is underway here in America. While American youth grow restless, at present, they would almost certainly vote for the opposite of Javier!
We’ll see what unfolds in Argentina in response. As other have noted, Milei will have to get “approval” of his agenda from the usual suspects that materialize when government and its politics dominate the cultural firmament – until sufficiently discredited by the consequences of such dominance…….
That “Rothbard” seems to have been identified as the intellectual inspiration for this development is but one aspect of the “times” in which we live. Rothbard is associated with anarchy as opposed to limited government – an even greater emotional “strawman” than Rand’s philosophy of individual responsibility! Consequently, the emotion of FEAR is what will be championed by those opposed to the Milei agenda (whatever that turns out to actually be!). Rand will continue to be ignored, discredited, and her ideas credited to others – until they are not.
In that regard I am reminded that the goals we champion will eventually present themselves much as does bankruptcy. It occurs very slowly – and then all of a sudden – much as has Javier Milei!
Until then, the advocates of liberty should continue as they are, applauding victories great or small, confident in the future – however slowly or “suddenly” liberty reemerges in it!
Meanwhile, all should remain aware. Aware of what you might ask?
.Maybe there will immediately be a riot, he will be accused of sedition, and they will – right out of the box, arrest him?
Maybe an operator named “Ray-mondo Epps-olito,” during a protest, will help precipitate a riot and the Argentinian Congress will be raided and everyone will have to be arrested?
Or, maybe he will be tagged with being a controlled Russian agent after he is accused of paying two prostitutes to pee on the bed that his opponent stayed in, at the “Fidel Castro” presidential suite of the Caracas Holiday Inn?
Or maybe, like many in Russia who criticize the government, he will “accidently” fall out of his hotel window? Or otherwise commit “suicide.”
The radical Left can and will – as we can now increasingly understand, do ANYTHING up to and including the most extreme behavior in order to retain their control.
In the final analysis, trust no one by what they say, only by what they do! Javier included.
