. . .

K          “September 15 is the ten year anniversary of the Great Financial Coup d’état of 2018.”

J          “We. Just. Will. Not. Learn.”

. . .

Recent Coups d’état:

2000:  Political coup d’état – by the Republican judicial branch / Supreme Court, Inc. when it rejected the franchise / election and counting of votes by citizens, appointed Bush, Jr. as President, set in place subsequent coups d’état and cemented the dominion of the Kleptocracy to supplant a democracy.

1999 – 2008:  “Pogo” participation by the populace in the Economic coup d’état – by the ordinary people who lost their senses, judgment and perspective with considerable encouragement by the powers that be that be very powerful.  The populace invested money in companies that could not even promise blue sky, pursued returns that were inconceivable and “rented” homes they could never afford.  The people unwittingly participated in and ratified the insanity and criminality.  Blame is everywhere.

2008:  Economic coup d’état – by the Democrats and Republicans in the executive and legislative branches who cooperated in looting the public fisc for the benefit of the few / 1 % / Kleptocrats at a devastating cost to the public and in particular innocent and uninvolved future generations who must finance the at least 4.2 Trillion dollar ($4,200,000,000,000.00) giveaway.  Give or take.  Probably give another 1 Trillion dollars to the number that was given away.

2016:  Populist coup d’état – by a demagogue Republican President / executive branch buffoon and charlatan who fooled a genuinely angry, frightened and desperate public to vote for him and installed an oligarch and his oligarchy to run the Kleptocracy.

2017:  Judicial coup d’état – the Supreme Court, Inc. is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Republican Party, Inc. occupied by Five Red Rich Republican “Catholic” Corporatist “White” Boys . . . And All By-Products Of The S.I.C.

2018:  Judicial coup d’état – the coup de grace in the making.
