Top 6 Differences Between Real Democracy and Fake Democracy
Unmasking the Illusion: How to Distinguish True Democracy from Its Counterfeit Versions Democracy is often celebrated as the fairest system of governance. But is every nation that claims to be democratic truly democratic? The reality is more complicated. While some countries embody the core principles of democracy, transparency, fair elections, and civil liberties, others use the term as a façade, masking authoritarian control under a thin veil of voting and governance structures. The difference between real democracy and fake democracy isn’t always obvious, but recognizing these distinctions is crucial in understanding how power truly operates. In this article, I'm going to break down the 6 fundamental differences that separate genuine democracy from its deceptive counterparts.

Feb 28th 2025 - Economic Blackout
Introduction Today there has been a call to not spend money or use Social Media, especially Facebook and anything that carries advertising. We are fine to use small businesses, but Amazon, Walmart and the big ones are to be boycotted.

Why Do Americans Use Socialism As An Insult?
Introduction I see this almost every day and it really does annoy me. people like Bernie Sanders and Robert Reich do it and it happened again today. Maybe it is my fault for following people on Social Media.

February 24 - Forever Black Day
This day is particularly dark for me as we are marking three full years of Russia's assault on Ukraine. There was a large rally and demonstration in Washington, DC on Saturday, Feb.22, and several large cities have planned activities such as rallies, demonstrations, requiems and prayers over the weekend and today.

British couple in their 70s arrested by Taliban.
British couple in their 70s arrested by Taliban. A British elderly couple, Peter Reynolds (79) and his wife Barbie (75) who dedicated 18 years of their lives to social and educational services in Afghanistan have been detained by the Taliban. The couple was arrested on February 1 while returning to their home in Bamiyan. Since then their children and family have received no clear updates about their condition causing immense concern among their loved ones. Peter and Barbie had been running various educational projects in Afghanistan since 2009 including five schools in Kabul and a training program for mothers and children in Bamiyan. Even after the Taliban's return to power in 2021 when most foreigners and NGO employees left the country the couple chose to stay. Their reason was simple they could not abandon Afghanistan in its time of need.

Idiots of Chaos
This take-apart 2025 administration is using Project 2025 to bust America. So many warnings came ahead of the election, but it didn't matter. Elon had the money to get the felon-tyrant elected; that and the Electoral College. Elon has well-known racist views and now thinks he is running the American government. He "preaches" about democracy and doesn't know what it is, but the tyrant gives him a pulpit. Being SOUTH AFRICAN, he can't run for president, but the convicted felon has figured that out, too. Bring him on as an advisor, and let him run amuck. Elon has unleashed twenty-year-old hackers to crack all the government systems. The tyrant is fine with this, and so are Republicans in Congress.

"TAKE OUT THE NAZIS". Content Warning.
I created this concept in my brain today as I watched the news of tryanny n America. WHERE IS OUR HERO? I edited this short film four times, creating multiple tunes from dividing my prose into 4 parts. I had to express my disdain for people that are just kicking back saying, "What can we do" It's their government." NO, IT IS OUR GOVERNMENT, THE PEOPLE'S GOVERNMENT."

Cash for Corpses. Content Warning. AI-Generated.
The American public is being robbed blind, and no one seems to care. Billions of dollars are disappearing right under our noses, funneled through a broken system that was supposed to protect the most vulnerable among us. Social Security—the cornerstone of American retirement, the safety net for the disabled and the elderly—is hemorrhaging money at an astronomical rate, and the reason is as sinister as it is simple: fraud.

Jan. 6 Rioters Seek Unprecedented Pardon Claims: From Murder Plots to Child Pornography
The fallout from the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot continues to reverberate through the American legal and political landscape. As hundreds of defendants face charges ranging from trespassing to seditious conspiracy, a new and controversial argument has emerged: some rioters are claiming that former President Donald Trump’s pardons should absolve them not only of their Capitol-related crimes but also of unrelated offenses uncovered during investigations, including murder plots and child pornography. This unprecedented legal strategy has sparked outrage, debate, and questions about the limits of presidential pardons.

DOGE Might Be A Uniting Factor In America After All The Complaining
DOGE, or the Department of Government Expenditures, is a hot topic of debate between fervent supporters of the Democrats and the former administration led by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. People don’t like Donald Trump and billionaires are now villainized by the young and the entitled masses because they are richer than ever before. So, appointing Elon Musk as the face of DOGE was bound to be a polarizing decision.

American Greatness is a Scam!!!. Content Warning.
"Make America Great Again...?" What do those words mean exactly? Every time I see those exact words I ask myself, "Who does that apply too exactly?" How does putting Donald Trump back in the White House make America great? Trump doesn't belong in any business or political office. He should be locked away in a prison cell. Or in a padded room with a straitjacket tied up so tightly that can't move a finger. The 2024 Election was one of the most historic events in American history. One where the right choice was easy and obvious. Kamala Harris would have been that choice. The right choice! But no... America made the choice... And it chose wrong!!! It chose a wannabe dictator who wants to destroy the American way of life.
