Russia: A Journey with Jonathan Dimbleby

Russia is still in great pain after several years of revolutions, famines and poverty. Most people believe the country has a new government, which is true. But it is a democracy, a mob, which means an organized crime syndicate as the ones we find in the other crime syndicates in the world, which no one dares to condemn.

The poor feel the pain while the rich feel the privilege of having everything they want and need. Their obvious lack of understanding of their country's history makes them blind to what is about to happen. But they do not care as long as they feel protected by the mob. It is dangerous to revolt. The mob game is more exciting than a self-sustaining lifestyle outside the cities.

As long as the rich keep the machines running, the machines the government allowes to run, everything is just fine. And the machine owners like it. Everything is just fine, the world is getting better, history will not repeat itself.

Unaware of what is really going on due to the fact that hardly anyone dares to tell the truth, and listen to it, the government is blaming America for the country's problems. And history repeats itself: the poor go to work, with machine guns and tanks from the rich machine owners to make the rest of the world even poorer than it already is. Thanks to its intellectuals who just love their crime syndicate's paychecks. Life is just wonderful and secure aside from a lot of dangerous capitalists.
