Midweek Update: Fascism With A Democratic Face: The Plan

from Promethean Updates Hosted by Promethean Action

At the Munich Security Forum, Secretary of State Marco Rubio publicly rejected America’s role in managing the West’s “decline,” calling deindustrialization a deliberate policy and warning that mass migration is destabilizing the West. He then traveled to Slovakia and Hungary to back Prime Minister Robert Fico and Viktor Orban, negotiating U.S. nuclear plant deals and signaling support against EU pressure. The episode links Europe’s Digital Services Act and reported EU election interference to a broader censorship apparatus aimed at U.S. elections in 2026 and 2028. It traces the ideological roots to a 1975 Trilateral Commission blueprint, citing Samuel Huntington’s call for “desirable limits” to democracy and programs to lower workers’ expectations. Barbara Boyd argues Trump is dismantling this model by rolling up USAID and USIP, seeking to defund NED, and countering Europe’s censorship infrastructure. 📖 *EBOOK A Police Dossier: It is the British Who Murder Our Presidents* https://prom.ac/dos 00:00 Midweek Update Intro 01:54 Rubio's European Counter-Offensive, What He Did After Munich 05:08 Fascism With a Democratic Face, The Blueprint They Wrote Down 10:40 Trump's Answer, The Exact Opposite Get our free Newsletter Paid subscribers get every citation and source behind this script Make a one-time donation to Promethean Action
