The making of a tyranny

Humankind has had many episodes in its development of this malady in many parts of the terraqueous global world, with many results in its creation and ending. In a plain twenty-first century, we are observing one forming before our eyes with nothing or few remedies available to any opponents who could use tools of stopping or perhaps fear using any for precaution of losing their lives.

That is what tyrants do: impose their criteria without remorse, guided by a decomposed mental structure almost impossible to decipher due to the elements of negligent and ignorant support of individuals who could stop it, but are regretfully incapable of performing.

Trump is a typical example of what humanity is experiencing today, and we are marching right to the abyss of uncertainty.

Let us use the history of past examples from the beginning to the end to formulate an uneducated opinion based on rapid research using Copilot of Microsoft:

1. Caligula (Roman Empire): Caligula ruled from 37 AD to 41 AD and was known for his unpredictable and sadistic behavior. He restored treason trials, causing the death of many, and led a campaign of extravagance and sexual perversity. The ending of Caligula, the Roman Emperor, was quite dramatic and violent.

He was assassinated on January 24, AD 41, at the age of twenty-eight. His assassination was the result of a conspiracy involving officers of the Praetorian Guard, senators, and courtiers. The conspirators, led by Cassius Chaerea, attacked Caligula in a corridor of the imperial palace. He was stabbed multiple times and died from his wounds. Following his death, his wife, Milonia Caesonia, and their young daughter, Julia Drusilla, were also killed.

Caligula’s death marked the end of his brief and tumultuous reign, and he was succeeded by his uncle, Claudius.

2. Enver Pasha (Ottoman Empire): Enver Pasha was a Turkish military officer who led the Ottoman Empire during the Balkan Wars and World War I. He is infamous for the systematic destruction of Armenia, which led to the deaths of 2.5 million people.

Enver Pasha, a prominent Ottoman military officer and one of the key figures in the Armenian Genocide, met his end on August 4, 1922. After World War I, he fled to Central Asia, where he attempted to lead a rebellion against the Bolsheviks. Enver Pasha was killed in battle near Dushanbe, in present-day Tajikistan. His death marked the end of his controversial and tumultuous career.

3. Oliver Cromwell (United Kingdom): Cromwell led the Roundheads to victory in the English Civil War and was one of the signatories of King Charles I’s death warrant. His autocratic behavior and treatment of Scottish and Irish Catholics are particularly derided.

Oliver Cromwell, one of the most significant figures in British history, died on September 3, 1658, at the age of fifty-nine. His death was due to complications from a form of malaria and kidney stone disease. Cromwell’s health deteriorated rapidly, especially after the death of his daughter a month earlier.

After his death, Cromwell was buried with a grand funeral procession through the streets of London, modeled on similar funeral processions for kings. Despite refusing the crown during his life, his funeral effigy was dressed in robes with a crown, orb, and sceptre.

However, the story did not end there. In 1659, after the restoration of Charles II as King of England, Cromwell’s body was disinterred from Westminster Abbey. His body, along with those of Henry Ireton and John Bradshaw, was hanged in chains at Tyburn before being beheaded. Their bodies were thrown into common graves, and their heads were placed on spikes above Westminster Hall. Cromwell’s head reportedly fell from the spike during a storm in 1685 and went through numerous hands before eventually being buried at Sydney Sussex College at Cambridge University.

4. Porfirio Díaz (Mexico): Díaz ruled Mexico with an iron fist for 27 years. Initially seen as a liberator, he quickly proved himself to be an authoritarian who focused on his own power rather than the welfare of the people.

Porfirio Díaz was a significant figure in Mexican history. He was born on September 15, 1830, in Oaxaca, Mexico, and died on July 2, 1915, in Paris, France. Díaz served as the President of Mexico for multiple terms, from 1877 to 1880 and from 1884 to 1911. His rule, known as the Porfiriato, was marked by strong centralized control and significant modernization and economic growth in Mexico.

However, his policies favored foreign investors and wealthy landowners, leading to widespread discontent among the general population. This discontent eventually culminated in the Mexican Revolution. In 1911, revolutionary forces led by Francisco Madero captured Ciudad Juárez, forcing Díaz to resign and flee into exile. He spent the remainder of his life in Paris, where he passed away in 1915.

5. Nicolae Ceaușescu (Romania): Ceaușescu consolidated power by jailing thousands of political opponents and sending many others to psychiatric hospitals. He suffered from paranoia and oppressed the Romanian population.

Nicolae Ceaușescu was a Romanian politician who served as the General Secretary of the Romanian Communist Party from 1965 to 1989 and as the President of Romania from 1974 to 1989. His regime was known for its authoritarianism and severe human rights abuses.

Ceaușescu’s rule ended abruptly during the Romanian Revolution in December 1989. On December 22, 1989, he and his wife, Elena, were captured by the military after attempting to flee the country. They were tried and convicted of genocide and other crimes in a swift trial. On December 25, 1989, Nicolae and Elena Ceaușescu were executed by firing squad.

6. Muammar al-Gaddafi (Libya): Gaddafi was responsible for crimes against humanity, including the infamous terrorist attack on Pan Am Flight 103 in 1988, which resulted in the Lockerbie disaster.

Muammar al-Gaddafi, also known as Moammar Gadhafi, was a Libyan revolutionary and politician who ruled Libya for over four decades. His rise to power began with a military coup on September 1, 1969, which overthrew King Idris I. Gaddafi was born in 1942 near Sirte, Libya, and came from a Bedouin family.

Gaddafi’s early years in power were marked by significant changes in Libya’s governance and foreign policy. He expelled U.S. and British military bases from Libya in 1970 and nationalized all foreign-owned petroleum assets in 1973. He also introduced the Jamahiriya system, which he claimed was the highest form of democracy where people were their own presidents .

Throughout his rule, Gaddafi was known for his anti-Western policies and support for various revolutionary movements across Africa and the Middle East. His government was implicated in several international disputes, including the Lockerbie bombing, which led to international sanctions.

Gaddafi’s downfall began with the Arab Spring in 2011, which brought violent protests and pro-democracy demonstrations across North Africa and the Middle East. In Libya, these protests escalated into a civil war, leading to Gaddafi’s eventual capture and death in October 2011. His legacy remains controversial, with debates over the impact of his policies and ideas on Libya and the wider region.

•  Adolf Hitler’s rise and fall are a significant chapter in world history. Here is a brief overview:

Rise

Hitler was born in Austria in 1889. He moved to Germany and joined the German Workers’ Party, which later became the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (Nazi Party). Hitler’s powerful oratory skills and propaganda helped him gain popularity. In 1933, he was appointed Chancellor of Germany. He quickly consolidated power, eliminating political opponents and establishing a totalitarian regime. His policies led to the rearmament of Germany and the expansion of its territory, culminating in the outbreak of World War II in 1939.

Fall

The tide of the war turned against Germany with significant defeats, such as the Battle of Stalingrad in 1943. Allied forces advanced into German territory, and by April 1945, Soviet troops had encircled Berlin. Facing imminent defeat, Hitler committed suicide on April 30, 1945. Germany surrendered shortly after, marking the end of the Nazi regime.

History repeats itself as many times as we can go back to research and understand common symptoms of what we live through during the processes of evolution, time after time, with almost always the same ending results: death of the tyrant, imprisonment, but mainly, the fall of its cruel and narcissistic form of governing.

What we are living in now, the Trump era, has not shown yet an opponent capable of gaining enough support, or perhaps still in the process of eclosion or hatching.

Which brings the interrogation, can a woman gain the United States Presidency? Furthermore, a Latino man or a woman?

The last two attempts with Clinton and Harrison were a complete failure for whatever reasons you choose to believe. But one true reason is that the majority of voters are composed of white people, from the middle of the country, influenced by many types of drugs, specifically the worst of all, religion, and what some call an ignorant Christianism.

However, there is one young woman in the process of evolving, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Could it be her confronting Marco Rubio in the next presidential election?

Who knows. Nevertheless, evolutionists need to not only impede another republican President, Senate, and Congress, but also to create a strong leadership capable of succeeding.
