  1. My country is also qualified for the following

    Kleptocracy

    The corrupt people running SR also steal all resources of the country blind, leaving absolutely nothing for the population.
    Minimum wage, Social Security in comparison to a minister salary is so large in difference it is laughable

    Quotes

    Kleptocrats abuse the freedoms found in Western countries by transferring funds out of a kleptocracy and into Western jurisdictions for money laundering and asset security. Since 2011, more than $1 trillion has left developing countries annually in illicit financial outflows. A 2016 study found that $12 trillion had been siphoned out of developing economies.[15] Western professional services providers are often taken advantage of by exploiting legal and financial loopholes in the West to facilitate transnational money laundering.[16][17] The kleptocratic financial system typically comprises four steps according to one opinion.[18]

  2. #factCheck
    Claim by Senator Duckworth: “9% of American citizens don’t have the identification that the SAVE act requires to vote. Almost 1 in 10.”

    PolitiFact rating: Mostly True
    A 2023 national survey found about 9% of U.S. adult citizens either lack or cannot readily access documentary proof of citizenship, and a similar share lack a nonexpired driver’s license. However, the figure includes people who may have documents but cannot easily access them, and the survey was not limited specifically to registered voters.

    > Democrats opposing the SAVE America Act, which would require certain documents to register to vote and cast a ballot, point to a study showing 9% of adult U.S. citizens would have difficulty with those requirements.

  3. A quotation from Montesquieu

    When the savages of Louisiana want some fruit, they cut down the tree at the base and gather the fruit. That is how a despotic government works.
     
    [Quand les sauvages de la Louisiane veulent avoir du fruit, ils coupent l’arbre au pied, & cueillent le fruit. Voilà le gouvernement despotique.]

    Charles-Lewis de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu (1689-1755) French political philosopher
    Spirit of Laws [The Spirit of the Laws; De l’esprit des lois], Book 5, ch. 13 (5.13) (1748) [tr. Stewart (2018)]

  5. A certain Rev Huckabee was assuring the unPresident
    about his place [at the end of] History --

    That places this menace to society right next to his daughter & Mr Boelter, Russell Vought, Eric Prince, Holy-Joe Johnson & certain SCOTUS justices, marching along in the same army of ignorance & superstition

  6. #Japanese officials want ‘selfish’ #MountFuji #climbers to pay for #offseason #rescue
    "There have been cases when people have casually made requests to be rescued via mobile phone, as if they were ordering a #taxi.. Other countries require climbers to have #insurance & they charge anyone tt they have to rescue.. #Emergency #services had to be activated to help injured #hikers #everyday during the #climbingseason"
    Looks like #tyranny of the #illbred minority.🤔

  7. Gaudium: Tyrannidem in cives exerceo.
    Ratio: Predam atque carnificinam, auro implendus et sanguine, auri sitiens monedula tenaxque.

    Joy: I exercise sole power over my fellow citizens.
    Reason: You plunder them and slaughter them. You must be stuffed with gold and blood like a crow thirsting for gold.

    --#Petrarca, De remediis 1.95.7-8 (On #tyranny)

  8. Videbis usitatum et communem tyrannorum exitum, aut glaudium aut venenum.

    You will see that the tyrants usually end the same way, by the sword or by poison.

    --Francesco #Petrarca, De remediis 1.95.6 (On #tyranny)

  9. Gaudium: Tyrannidem arripui.
    Ratio: Abstulisti libertatem aliis, securitatem tibi, requiem utrisque.

    Joy: I have seized sole power.
    Reason: In doing so, you have taken away the freedom of others, your security and the peace of mind of all of you.

  10. We had no idea initially what had happened to her since she was unable to send any messages or make any calls upon detention. She was moved to a facility in Vermont at first & then #Louisiana where she is now. Where she is now is a #jail that has space rented by #ICE & is kept in a room with over 80 other female detainees,” Anderson posted.
