Governments worldwide are becoming more authoritarian.

 CENSORSHIP, BANNING PROTEST, DIVERSION AND MISINFORMATION

BLAMING OTHERS FOR THEIR BAD POLICY

While we see that Iran is executing some protesters and China may use open protests to weed out and target malcontents, western countries are setting the stage to quell protests and dissatisfaction with the results of their policies.

We of course, see the heavy hand and disinformation resulting from the protest in the United States 2 years ago, a protest that got out of hand and was led astray by some. It is then labeled as a an attempt to overthrow the government, a far fetched attempt to in fact quell any more protests of elections or other government actions. Especially from those who are not supporters of the left wing of the government.

We can expect that we will see more diversions and blaming for the conditions arising in Europe. Winter is going to bring about suffering and social unrest, so it seems to be setting the stage for diversions to fear some overthrowing of the government. While the first example is now in Germany we can expect this pattern to be repeated throughout Europe. We can expect more arrests and the labeling of protesters as threats to democracy. They will of course blame right wing extremists and surely Russia for the results of decisions their leaders have made. Dissatisfaction with massive immigration and energy and food shortages will result in accusations of conspiracy against democracy.

We also see the steps being made around the world to insure that many governments will not be able to be challenged even through elections by changing rules and practices to insure continued control and power. If these practices become insufficient we can expect to see the next step of declaring emergency powers to, in fact, postpone any elections and impose restrictions on speech.

The world is looking more and more like the world of the 1930's. A world in transition and still reeling from the results of WW1. A war brought about, not by some master plan, but by a series of alliances that escalated to disaster. Then rather than face the reality of the cause of the disaster, a plan to demonize and destroy Germany by sanctions, reparations and punishment for a war that they really did not start. This of course, led to an authoritarian government in Germany and the next act of massive violence and destruction.

It is appearing we are now witnessing a very similar scenario and no one is willing to step back and review where the world is heading. Protests in Germany about energy led to the blowing up of the gas pipeline, protests in other countries about the direction of their countries are being disregarded and likely to be squashed. 

It seems there are times in history when whole nations are deluded into some coordinated actions that inevitably lead them into self destruction. Two world wars in Europe seem to be forgotten in the fog of some grandiose plan brought about by non-thinking alliances rushing to their destruction.
