Eric Zuesse (blogs at https://theduran.com/author/eric-zuesse/) Here are the economic records of growth over the past 25 years, in Gross Domestic Product calculated at Purchasing-Power Parity (GDP PPP), for 7 regions of the world. In each of the seven regions, the information-source is the Trading Ecnomics Website. Each country or region is identified in the URL […]
Eric Zuesse (blogs at https://theduran.com/author/eric-zuesse/) The model for Western countries is the United States, where billionaires have even more freedom than they do in the UK, which has been copying the U.S. ever since in 1979 in UK (Margaret Thatcher) and 1981 in U.S. (Ronald Reagan). Both countries at that time elected fascists (supporters of […]
Eric Zuesse It’s the extreme concentration of wealth in the hands of just a tiny fraction of the richest 1% of the richest 1% of the richest 1% of wealth-holders that makes the country be an aristocracy instead of a democracy. This extreme inequality of wealth does that, by distorting Government-expenditures in the directions that […]
Eric Zuesse The U.S. Government tries to hide how obscenely top-end the nation’s wealth-distribution is; but one remarkably clear presentation of it (the U.S. private-wealth distribution) was the web-page from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System that presented an “Overview” of “Distribution of Wealth” starting in “1989:Q3” and extending up till “2021:Q2”. […]
Eric Zuesse The U.S. Constitution was truly a revolutionary, progressive, document. Anyone who considers it to be ‘conservative’ has no knowledge of history, or else is lying, because it’s the exact opposite of that: it’s radically progressive. It’s a truly revolutionary document. And it was created by men all of whom despised imperialism and had […]
Eric Zuesse All views of America’s alleged Deep State agree that it’s a group of people who control the U.S. Government behind-the-scenes so that America is some sort of dictatorship by these individuals, instead of an authentic democracy that serves the interests of (or “represents”) the majority of residents in America, or even of voters […]
Eric Zuesse Ever since 2014, when the first scientific examination of whether America is a democracy or instead a dictatorship was published, and when it found clearly that America is a dictatorship by the super-rich, I have been studying other relevant evidence; and, on June 28th, the great Democratic Party investigative journalist David Sirota provided […]
Eric Zuesse In America, a woman’s right to an abortion of a pre-conscious (earlier than 20 weeks) fetus is no longer recognized by its federal Government, though, by a 59% to 41% margin (and 67% to 33% among American women, who are the people directly affected), the American people want it to be. That’s one […]
Eric Zuesse One of the facts that are effectively banned from being made public in any mainstream (and in almost all non-mainstream) ‘news’-media in U.S.-and-allied countries, is that their governments are far more corrupt than any of them report. An outstanding recent example of this governmental depravity was published on April 28th by the great […]
Eric Zuesse “Mobsters” are whatever the law says they are, but in some countries they are, in fact, simply the nation’s wealthiest people, who can and do pay whomever they have to pay (“consigliere”) in order to get the law to mean what they want it to mean. In other words: sometimes a mobster is […]
