{UAH} DEAR "G7" LEADERS, KINDLY STOP EMBEZZLING DEMOCRACY (AND THE WILL OF THE WORLDS PEOPLES)!

Picture: Caricature of the dude who stole America's Freedom of Speech principals.

I would have liked to raise the issues herein primarily with African and other Third World leaders. Thus while there is a G7 for the seven greatest economies, it would be appropriate to create a P20, a congregation of the worlds 20 poorest economies who would transparently ensure that the interests of the poor are not trampled by the opulence of the rich, and that topics like climate justice are not easily brushed under the gold-rimmed red carpets of the worlds seven greatest polluters, and the worlds seven greatest vaccine hoarders. A group of rich countries acting like the Evergreen blocking the Suez canal, and which the poorest nations need to muster a small Egyptian boat to get the G7 out of the rest of the world's way.

Over 10 million lives have been lost in perpetual wars across entire regions around the world in the last two decades alone. All in the name of spreading democracy. The trail of blood, senseless killings and human suffering left behind is an indelible stain on a coalition of leading democratic nations whose membership shares the same world view over-reach where they yearn for control of the planet regardless of what anybody else thinks, and regardless of the will of the peoples of the rest of the world. Now launching new mysterious pockets of conflict across Africa, and also clearly itching to kill Russia and China.

Today the United States of America is banning international media companies of their political opponents. Iranian International news media have recently seen their websites seized by the US government, and I haven't seen a single human rights organization raise a finger about this blatant infringement on freedom of speech. For the last five months, anyone who participated in the US Capitol political protest is facing relentless state retribution simply because they expressed their political views about an election and sought transparency. For over a decade the US government has been persistently hounding Julian Assange for publicly and legitimately exposing their heinous crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is in Russia that Edward Snowden found peace for refusing to break his oath to his own country, the US, and therefore exposed all the abuses against the Constitution that his own government was engaged in against it's own people. Today US social media companies have indefinitely banned a free-minded Donald Trump, a candidate they clearly didn't like, a ban purportedly "for inciting violence", when in fact all his last social media messages were calling for the exact opposite (Check his last Facebook post here: https://www.facebook.com/153080620724/posts/10166091482665725/?app=fbl).

Meanwhile, millions of other people around the world are being thrown in Facebook dungeons for as little as a joke. Hasn't Twitter been found summarily taking down anything said against Israeli Apartheid? International Human Rights organizations have completely failed to substantively table any concerns about this disturbing trend of blatant politically-motivated infringments on the right to free speech, freedom of assembly and the right to information, the bedrock of thriving democracies, an infringement by owners of social media companies in connivance with their political preferences. In stark contrast, the same human rights organizations are quick to launch an entire campaign against Nigeria for banning Twitter. If it is about freedom of speech, then why didn't they say anything when the social media company removed the African president's legitimate message warning troublemakers in his country?

Can anyone see what kind of biased, next-level neo-colonialist abuse is fermenting?

When one chooses to fight for a principle, why is it that Africa is the one to be shouted at immediately when obvious infringements on the same freedoms are happening elsewhere in broad daylight, every day, in many different ways, and by all sorts of actors, including by influential global non-state actors.

Clearly some organizations have an agenda. A reality that has existed for decades but only now becoming clearer because of today's political and technological circumstances, thereby ensuring the legitimacy of branding them as agents of those who fund them. They are obviously not serving noble principles, but rather just using those principals as tools for interference.

First of all, any country being branded as the world leader is not just some title anyone bestows on themselves. It is primarily a global recognition of exemplary achievement and/or conduct deserving the responsibility. Indeed it is first and foremost a responsibility to all of mankind. A position yet to be established in any formal capacity or global setting.

Incidentally just after the recent G7 summit, China declared that "The days when global decisions were summarily dictated by a small group of countries are long gone."

Note here the word "dictatorship", and who it applies to.

Meanwhile, as China is being accused of genocide against the Uyghurs, guess which country recently committed the exact same crime that China is being accused of, and which is today branded as genocide. A country which just eight years ago was caught red-handed sterilizing it's own citizens of African descent without the womens knowledge or consent, the same crime called genocide in China, and nobody in Washington or Paris or London ever declared that particular sterilization against African women as a genocide? (Read about this disturbing Nazi-style secret sterilization program against African women here: https://amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/jan/30/forced-contraception-jewish-ethopian-women)

Incidentally, this country enjoying impunity has now recently joined the United Nations Human Rights Council after decades of castigating it and ignoring it's resolutions against their heinous acts of neo-Apartheid. So it is quite disenginuous to hear them today complaining about "Chinas human rights abuses against Muslims"  when in reality there is no bigger expert than them in this specific field.

In the mean time, as Donald Trump once stated in reference to the European Union, one could also say that the G7 is "a group of countries that got together to screw the rest of the world".

However, I don't know if it is because of the Corvid-19 pandemic but the G7 summit itself appears to have greatly lost its shine and clout. The world has indeed changed so much in the space of just one year that the world order until 2020 has all withered away. One wonders why exactly didn't they just meet on zoom.

In any case, I just realized that US politics, and indeed world affairs of the whole planet, have somehow become abit boring without a certain individuals tweets.

Allow me to note that the protester who on January 6th 2021 made a political statement by walking away with the pulpit of the US House of Representatives, the country's highest legislature, well he probably symbolizes what America has become since. He essentially walked away with a symbol of a principle without which America is as good as a "Shithole country".

But getting back to what we were discussing at the beginning, the suffering caused by "spreading democracy", let us agree that the leaders of the worlds leading democracies were elected strictly by their own people, to serve their own people. And there is no evidence of any instance where the rest of the people around the world voted for the leaders of democratic countries to come and decide their fate. The level of disrespect for the will of their own people who never get to physically decide whether their democratic countries go to war abroad or not, and the even greater abuse of the will of the people of other countries who just wake up one day to democratic bombs senslessly killing them and their children in their own name, is the clearest indication of how the principles of democracy are actually being embezzled, especially in foreign policy of the great democrcies who essentially become tyrants abroad. A situation no different from the bygone era of brutal empire expansionism.

When will anyone learn that the legitimacy of their democracy is limited to their voters and their borders, beyond which starts respect for the peoples of other nations?

If democracy is paramount within a country, it's principles must be valid in international relations with other peoples, thereby ensuring that world affairs cannot remain a barbaric domain determined and ruled by military strength, but rather the level playing field of principles that apply to all humanity. This is the 21st century, not the Stone age!

Meanwhile who is being held responsible for all the 10 million deaths in the name of "spreading democracy", why is democracy actually a mass murderer overseas and a cannibal of world peace, and how many more have to be killed before we say that something is not right?
