Potus pardoned nearly 1,600 convicted, awaiting trial or sentencing for offenses related to January 6 United States Capitol attack.

Now he’s building a $1.7 billion fund for his supporters aggrieved by government actions. That’s more than $1 million for each jan6er.

If joining a failed coup can net you a million taxpayer dollars a few years later, what will taxpayers pay for successful coup. Can we find out?

Achieving meaningful lives within planetary boundaries?

"Renewables are already much cheaper than fossil fuels. Alas, fossil fuels are up to three times as profitable. Thus capital forces governments to link electricity prices to the price of the most expensive liquified natural gas, not of cheap solar energy. Similarly, building and maintaining motorways is many times more lucrative for private contractors, car manufacturers and oil companies than a modern network of superfast, safe public railways. So capitalists continue to push our governments to subsidise fossil fuels and road building, even while the world burns."

"...Capital uses every tool at its disposal – debt, sanctions, coups and even outright military invasion to keep southern economies subordinate."

Raw Story

I learned a new word today, which happens to be of Spanish origin. “Autogolpe”.

“A self-coup, also called an autocoup (from Spanish autogolpe) or coup from the top, is a form of coup d'état in which a political leader, having come to power through legal means, stays in power illegally through the actions of themselves or their supporters.[1] The leader may dissolve or render powerless the national legislature and unlawfully assume extraordinary powers. Other measures may include annulling the constitution, suspending civil courts, and having the head of government assume dictatorial powers.[2][3]”

I heard it on Jake Broe’s YouTube channel in the context of Trump firing the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and the 3 Judge Advocate Generals (Army, Navy, Air Force).

This is being described as an autogolpe, a self-coup.

The list attached on wiki is of attempted self-coups… Trump/USA is in their twice. As for successful ones, the most prominent is Napoleon Bonaparte.
