Equivalent?
Lots of news this morning about the MyAnnMarTheCountryFormerlyKnownAsBurma-ese government releasing Auuuung Saaaaan Suuuu Chyiii or whatever from prison.
Got me wondering. Who is the nearest American equivalent? Who is our "pro-democracy activist"? Defined as a charismatic leader who represents the will of the people, who actually
starts a new party outside of the two official brands, the "ruling party" brand and the "opposition party" brand, which we have here just as in MyAnnMarTheCountryFormerlyKnownAsBurma.
Currently the
nearest choice is Glenn Beck. He's certainly forming a movement around himself, some of which has spilled over into the totally co-opted Tea Party quasi-organization. But Beck doesn't seem eager to form a real party, with slates of candidates running at each level. And he still appears on Fox, which is an integral part of the Soros-Leninist structure. I'll see him as a serious dissident when Fox fires him and
"crazifies" him.
The only
precise equivalent in recent times is Ross Perot. He started a real party, running candidates at all levels. Several of those candidates won, and Perot came in a close third in national voting. His agenda was firmly Nationalist, isolationist and pro-industry, representing the natural tendencies of most Americans at most times in our history, and firmly opposing the trans-national progressive agenda of the Two Soros Labels. Perot's basic reason for running may seem trivial, but was actually crucial:
he knew things about the Bush family. And the form of his defeat measures the true degree of his threat to the System: the Bush family succeeded in
"crazifying" him, which is how we silence dissidents in our soft totalitarian arrangement.
