| 2018-06-15 |
 By George Monbiot[The Guardian] In arguing for a sunset clause to the Nafta trade agreement, this odious man is exposing the corruption of liberal democracy. e gets almost everything wrong. But last weekend Donald Trump got something right. To the horror of the other leaders of the rich world, he defended democracy against its detractors. Perhaps predictably, he has been universally condemned for it. Trump may seek separate Nafta talks with Canada and Mexico |

| #3 Why does the EU have more than one member in any organization? “The Group of Seven is a group consisting of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. These countries, with the seven largest advanced economies in the world, represent more than 62% of the global net wealth. The G7 countries also represent more than 46% of the global gross domestic product based on nominal values, and more than 32% of the global GDP based on purchasing power parity. The European Union is also represented at the G7 summit.“ |

| #1 Yeah, I've been saying this for a long time. Elites despise us and don't want to share power with us. Democracy is just a word to them, a cudgel to bash others with. When it comes time to act in the people's interest, they act in their own interest and claim it's identical to the people's. |
