Terrific interview by Jennifer Rubin with Gary Kasparov! He lays out the danger we are all in now in a way that is crystal clear. And Kasparov, himself, lived in Dictatorships. He knows exactly what is happening, and what we must do. Don't miss this important video.
Thrilled to see Garry here. He has long been a hero to me. I would love to see him in conversation with Fiona Hill! But any conversation is most welcome. thank you so much.
While everyone is talking about the economic disaster we are facing because of the tariffs. Virtually no one is talking about how autocrats take power through tariffs. The short answer is they gain oligarchs who will want favors and will pledge loyalty to the autocrat.
Today, April 3 at 6:58am. This gives some more details how autocrats take power through tariffs. It also explains how they develop supporting oligarchs who help them keep power.
Mr. Kasparov is correct. America has relied on standards, norms, and institutions that can be and were easily cast aside.
Senator Schiff's book, "Midnight in Washington," also warned about how those benchmarks were weakened, corrupted, and, in some cases, destroyed.
Once we finally do the right thing and impeach and remove Trump and his band of deplorables, there will be much work to do codifying protections to ensure this tragedy is never repeated.
So glad to meet Garry Kasparov. Up to now, for me, he has been just a name from the past vaguely associated with chess. From this interview, however, his voice and presence has made the democratic movement become further alive and hopeful. So glad to know about Garry and the collective movement of dissidents in the world.
I love the vampire analogy. Have the stakes and hammer and bright lights and shelter available because the vampires are coming out. This is the zombie apocalypse.
"United States-The country that I myself, as somebody born and raised on the other side of Iron Curtain, viewed always as a beacon of hope and a fortress of freedom." Kasparov speaks for me exactly in these words. I also want us all to concentrate on keeping democracy and law as the very primary, most important goals and objectives of our resistance. That is really the end game.

Tufts University is standing up and not capitulating regarding their Turkish student who was kidnapped.
That‘s exactly what ALL universities should do considering a university is only as strong as their diversity!!!!!

Jen needs to get back to calling out corruption - Graham, Jordan, Cruz, Bondi Thomas, Russ Vought, Leonard Leo, Federalist Society

This is a MUST READ.
Gary was the former World Champion, not just a Grandmaster.

Looking forward to reading the RDI newsletter.
This was important and scary, too. Hoping for an enormous turnout April 5th.
So important to hear the voice of Garry Kasparov!!!! So glad he is speaking up on the Contrarian.
I love "Stop Whining. Start Winning." A great, insightful interview.

I saw lots of his comments on Twitter when it was worthwhile. An admirable Russian. I sometimes forget they exist.
Thank you Jen for introducing us, at least to me, to Garry; very interesting talk.
