Democracy used to be different from a dictatorship, because it had a free press. People in a democracy were supposedly able to speak freely without the government throwing you in jail. Julian Assange, however, proved that the United States (US), the so-called champion of democracy” will throw you in jail if you dare publish US government crimes. Communism is not the only thing we now have to fear!
Not to be outdone by the US, Israel has recently arrested an American journalist for covering the war in Israel. Please click on this link for more: https://youtu.be/3iDiKyzd8Sc
Committing genocide against the indigenous people of Palestine, against international law, is perfectly fine for the US and Israel, but journalism is a crime that is punishable by death. Both the US and Israel are engaged in imperialism, and that automatically puts them above the law.
While 9 of the 10 richest men in the world are US citizens, 38 million Americans live in poverty, and 60% live from paycheck to paycheck. Only 33% of Americans are satisfied with our government, while 90% of Chinese are satisfied with theirs. Thus, the American Dream has moved to China!
While US oligarchs benefit, the US consistently refuses to comply with 42 United Nations’ resolutions demanding that it immediately return Puerto Rico’s sovereignty to the Puerto Ricans. Does the US care about Puerto Rico’s democracy?
US imperialism is the only thing we see.
US democracy is just an illusion!
