    The Implosion of the Democratic World Part 2

    Implosion of the Democratic World Part 2 民主世界毀滅 2 In this episode, I take a deep dive into how democratic nations are allowing themselves to blindly become subservient proxy elements of foreign governments that exploit their democratic liberties in their nation to create social and political disruption across the board that may easily lead to their democratic nation’s social, political and cultural implosion. This has been a warning! Note: Pay special attention to the graphic elements in this episode's YouTube video as they hold deeper insights into the topic. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE!
