The Scam of Politics Continues

• https://www.lewrockwell.com, By Gary D. Barnett

Lying will become much more prevalent (how is that possible?) over this next year, as we have entered the final lap of election madness in the U.S. The next presidential selection is now less than a year away, so the gloves are off, and how the lies will fly. The promises and idiocy have already begun of course, but all will get much worse every day from this day forward. As always, no matter how this election (and all others) turn out or not, the only assured real change will be no change at all. There is no savior you see, especially in politics, where the most evil among us reside. Division will only escalate, and therefore the common theme pursued by the maddening crowd will be hatred, just as is planned by the ruling few.

The circus has already begun, as the Argentinian election has just concluded, and 'libertarians' are ecstatic at the outcome. This is to be expected, because regardless of the total failure of any and all politics, political systems, political parties, and elections, regardless of the massively growing tyranny, the complete lack of freedom, relentless wars, and spying and surveillance of every human movement, 'faith' in political saviors (moronic "hopium")  continues its grip on the those who spew the 'trumpery,' (pun intended) that things will be better this time. Stupidity at this level is difficult to imagine, but alas, believers in government continue to cling to the idiocy that all we need is a 'better' ruler.

'Libertarian' outsider, Javier Milei, has just easily secured the presidency of Argentina, which is considered a 'coup' for 'freedom-loving libertarians' everywhere. He has promised what is considered by most, some very radical changes in Argentina, changes that include blowing up the central bank, and reconstruction of the Argentinian economic system. He also wants to get rid of the peso and replace it with the U.S. dollar, which is a rapidly failing fiat monetary unit itself, and certainly not real money. He calls himself an "anarcho-capitalist," and some of his 'beliefs' lean in that direction. but he still wants to rule over 'his' country with a heavy hand. If he fails in what he has promised, he will be able to blame it on the fact that he has no control over the legislature, which could be a convenient excuse. After saying he would burn down the central bank, he now will appoint a new central bank head, and central economic team. He is also it seems, close to Zelinskyy, a supporter of Ukraine and of Zionist Israel, so he is not opposed to war and genocide. In addition, he said he would "retreat from ties with countries including Russia, China, and Brazil, but does not that contradict his free market position? Actually, this sounds like protectionism and market control to me, not anarcho-capitalism.
