Malaysian Election Demonstrates the Wave of Political Change of Trump, BREXIT, Italy, Spain, etc is still in motion 

 

Malaysian incumbent Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition's 61-year rule since 1957 Independence was ended after people rose up to reject a corrupt regime. 

 
People are fed up with scandals & abuse of power whereby whistleblowers that expose political corruption are charged and sentenced to jail while the perpetrators still walk free and hold senior govt positions!

Defenders of the status quo are always stronger than reformers seeking change,

Steve Bannon: 

The whole thing of the financialization of Wall Street, of looking at people as pure commodities and of outsourcing and globalization, came from the business schools and the financial community that had these radical ideas, and nobody kept them in check. 

 

There’s a direct correlation between the factories that left, the billets and jobs that left with them, and the opioid crisis. This is what the Democrats miss: Tariffs are more than economics, it’s about dignity and self-worth. 
 
Here’s how many H-1B visas I want: none. Until we get Baltimore, Detroit, and St. Louis with, you know, youth unemployment down to zero, and people making high value-added jobs, I don’t need any foreigners. 
 
Your generation, the readers of New York Magazine, you’re nothing but 18th-century Russian serfs. You’re better fed, and you’re better dressed, and you’re better educated. But you don’t own anything. And you’re not going to own anything.
 
The state capitalism of the big technology companies has taken away your data sovereignty. You generate intellectual property all day long, and they don’t pay you for it. They take it for free, they monetize at huge margins. 
 
But on the left, your problem is that identity politics is stronger than your populism, and that’s why you can’t lift out of it. You can’t be a populist and buy into the globalist system — and the globalist system is open borders. It’s the Kochs. It’s Wall Street. The Kochs are the biggest open-borders guys in the world.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) ripped the country’s “new aristocratic elite” for engineering the United States economy against the American middle class.  

 

For his first major speech on the Senate floor, Hawley slammed the “big banks, big tech, big multi-national corporations, along with their allies in the academy and the media,” whom he said have created an economic structure in which they, the well-connected, benefit while the American working and middle class increasingly struggle to get ahead.  

 

free trade deals like NAFTA — supported by Republicans and Democrats — as well as China’s entering the World Trade Organization (WTO) has eliminated nearly five million American manufacturing jobs across the country, devastating steel towns and U.S. autoworkers. One former steel town in West Virginia lost 94 percent of its steel jobs because of NAFTA, with nearly 10,000 workers in the town being displaced from the steel industry.    https://www.breitbar...n-middle-class/
