What Next?

Let's look to the recent past for the answer. In Libya, there were protests, supposed use of military force against the protesters, and international outrage. In Syria, we saw the same scenario. Ukraine required more effort but the U.S. and its puppets used the same scenario.

Here is where the latest chapter in foreign destabilization is headed:

  • Macedonian leader is a crook! (Never mind endemic corruption in Macedonia over time.)

  • Grave concerns by the U.S. and its European Union puppets about current leader (this is the clear signal that it's game on).

"Western powers on Monday questioned the Macedonian government's commitment to democracy and European values over its failure to address allegations of abuse of power, piling pressure on leader Nikola Gruevski following a weekend of bloodshed.

"In a statement read out by U.S. ambassador Jess Baily, the envoys criticised Skopje's failure to address the "many allegations of government wrongdoing arising from the disclosures" published by opposition leader Zoran Zaev." Reuters, May 11 (Authors emphasis)

  • Thousands rally to protest the crooked leader

  • Behind the scenes manipulation by U.S., EU, NGOs with possible false flag implicating the current leader.
  • Much commotion, some bloodshed, and, in a stunning conclusion, democracy prevails and the evildoer, the bad guy leading Macedonia, is replaced.

We are only about half way through this scenario. There may be variations in plot and the outcome is uncertain. One thing for sure, this series of events represents a message to other rulers who fail to cooperate with the forces of democracy and not-so-free enterprise: cooperate or else.
