    Corporate greed and political corruption is what got left behind

    There’s a bigger aftermath being stepped over right now? …..There’s no malice in saying this.

    None.

    If you’re upset and can be triggered into a tizzy? Over miss identification spoken directly to you.

    When you’ve made yourself up difficult to identify among a raft of similarities that all dawn the same flavor (exterior’s jewelry).

    You’ve been owned and the owners will never invite you to their dinner tables, while they wine and dine amongst themselves.

    AS THEY RECORD IN DIARIES HOW THEY REVEL AND BASK in their conquest of ownership.

    They need high profile agent’s of representation that you Already Throw in with.

    Because you wouldn’t follow it any other way.

    Not from a seamstress, a shoemaker, your favorite air conditioning mechanic.

    All he can teach you is air conditioning stuff.

    But demonstrative celebs. And school teachers along with broadcast news human faces of built trust thru decades? OBVIOUSLY there’s nothing more effective. OR WE’d still have
    (BEAT-NICKS) .

    The teachers won’t take their own front doors off the hinges for free entry without permission to come in.

    And they misdirect attention away from their own collected wealth.

    Shamelessly pointing to others with more wealth than theirs.

    Wealth that you filled up their coffers with over decades.

    While they accepted it?..From whom they now relentlessly smear generalities upon to call the vile enemy of true Love and full fledged inclusion.

    YOU ARE THE ENERGY SUCKED IN AND SPIT OUT!

    Has any of those hecklers for hate and destruction?

    That can’t even muster a tear for lives lost as consequence.

    INVITED YOU INTO THEIR HOMES TO SIT AT THEIR TABLES?

    YOU ARE THE RIDDEN BACKS. None of it was your idea. ZERO.

Activist Leopoldo López learned the true value of freedom in a solitary confinement cell, when someone else decided if he would eat or see sunlight. In this searching conversation, he explains why democracy is losing ground across the globe, the state of Venezuela’s transition after Maduro’s capture and the 2026 earthquakes — and why he founded the World Liberty Congress to unite activists in the fight against autocracies.
