At least there can be a law, in the United States of America,
</div>
<div>
banning the sale or use of princess, queen, prince or king dolls.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
We do not teach our children such roles.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
Much better, we would also observe that most of the petroleum
</div>
<div>
industry is under royalist control. Which is why it persists so
</div>
<div>
implacably. Notice the advertisements from Aramco.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
So, if you want to mobilize social and economic forces to supersede
</div>
<div>
the petroleum industry, you need a wider revolt against royalism.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
Another example now, as stated by the person in public, is the
</div>
<div>
admiration of royalism, and adoption of such in a lifetime Presidency,
</div>
<div>
of Xi Jinping. (another question is about Putin; does Tsarism continue?)
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
Who dares to continue the revolutions of 1776, 1789 and 1917-18?

To do the video you will have to buy the princess dolls and get a

The alternative is to order a Chinese plastic model from amazon

for 9.75 Euro, but you still have to paint it yourself:

with a guillotine, and then chop off the heads of a hundred Disney

I discovered the Disney princess obsession from reading to my

</div>
<div>
pissed off by the narrative that I taught
</div>
<div>
Sophia about how in the French Revolution all the princesses
</div>
<div>
had their heads chopped off. We made drawings with chalk on
</div>
<div>
the pavement of heads being
</div>
<div>
chopped off. Her mother got angry, saying that I was
</div>
<div>
teaching violence. No,

I said in angry retort, I'm teaching History.

Hopefully, the lesson sinks in. Princesses or wannabe
</div>
<div>
princesses should die.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
The fantasy women have of getting all their needs met by

<div>
deliveries, from
</div>
<div>
Amazon, from Fresh Direct, from the corner pizzeria, results
</div>
<div>
directly from the

Disney princess propaganda. And so, the free nation

subordinates itself to
</div>
<div>
royalism.
</div>
<div>

<div>
Remember: one of the biggest investors in Walt Disney,
</div>
<div>
especially in the 100-year bonds, is Saudi Arabian royalty.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
Thus, the US becomes a prisoner of royalist energy policies

<div>
of Saudi Arabia,
</div>
<div>
UAE, Kuwait, Britain (BP & Shell), Netherlands (Shell),
</div>
<div>
Norway (Equinor), Spain (Repsol), and two autocratic

countries that could as well be royalist (Russia and China).

If you do, then--I ask--please forward these thoughts
</div>
<div>
to Guillermo and Agustina.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
I wake up full of desires to make history.
</div>
<div>
The stagnation of my entire life is too much.
</div>
<div>
Now, Bezos must fall, Bolsonaro must lose,
</div>
<div>
the Amazon must be saved, Physiocratic
</div>
<div>
management of land/water must begin,
</div>
<div>
Putin must get an imaginative start to his
</div>
<div>
next 8 years in the Kremlin, the reservoirs
</div>
<div>
must be cleaned out, and we must be rich.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
The complete collapse of Bezos is entirely
</div>
<div>
possible. Such happened before in history.
</div>
<div>
If people no longer believe in a company
</div>
<div>
or its head, the whole thing can disappaer
</div>
<div>
within months.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
To drive the point home: we spearhead any
</div>
<div>
attack on Bezos with an attack on what I
</div>
<div>
hated to even touch when I visited Harvard
</div>
<div>
Law School in my 20s: the 3-inch thick US
</div>
<div>
Internal Revenue Code. The document is
</div>
<div>
a NIGHTMARE. And people spend their entire
</div>
<div>
lives figuring out to cheat the public by using
</div>
<div>
that book. Bezos hired the lawyers who would
</div>
<div>
do exactly that. As Professional Parasites,
</div>
<div>
eating away at the body politic and genuine
</div>
<div>
free enterprise. Eating away at the USA like
</div>
<div>
a disease.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
Characterize "Amazon" as a disease worse
</div>
<div>
than COViD, and everyone will flee in hororr.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
We can then take on the Disney princess
</div>
<div>
fantasies, which created the market for selfish
</div>
<div>
delivery fantasies. The public name for such
</div>
<div>
an attack: TVGOV.
