A small group of ultra-billionaires has been handed control of formerly democratic US institutions. The United States that we knew no longer exists. Their agony has begun-Voltaire, Thierry Meyssan

 .

“Part of the power has already tipped democratic institutions into the hands of a few ultra-billionaires. The United States that we knew no longer exists. Their agony has begun.”

1/19/21, “After the USSR, the USA collapses,” Voltaire, Thierry Meyssan

“Washington has outrageously favoured a small camarilla of ultra-billionaires. Now it has to face its old demons, prepare for secession and civil war.”…

“The massive downgrading of the petty bourgeois...now leads 79% of US citizens to claim that “America is collapsing”; a proportion of disillusioned people without equivalent in Europe, except among the French “yellow jackets”….

This movement has been carving out a place for itself among the population for about ten years now. It has enough supporters, across the political spectrum, to start the battle and to last….

They intend to create a Nation for all, not with their opponents, but by excluding all those who do not think like them. That is why they welcome the decisions of Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitch to censor those who challenge the regularity of the election. They do not care if these multinationals arrogate to themselves a political power that contravenes the spirit of the First Amendment of the Constitution….

Ultra-billionaires such as Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Arthur Levinson, Sundar Pichai, Sheryl Sandberg, Eric Schmidt, John W. Thompson and Mark Zuckerberg are promoting a new ideology that claims the superiority of the digital man over the rest of humanity. They hope to defeat disease and death….

Part of the power has already tipped democratic institutions into the hands of a few ultra-billionaires. The United States that we knew no longer exists. Their agony has begun.”
