Worldwide Decline of Freedom Outweighs Improvements
Democratic watchdog organization Freedom House has released its annual ranking of the world’s most free and most suppressed nations.
As Statista’s Katharina Buchholz details below, the report is considered a key barometer for global democracy and this year’s edition found that global freedom has declined for the 18th year straight.
While 2022 had been heralded as a “possible turning point” as about as many countries showed improvements as marked declines, 2023 saw a new low of nations bettering their freedom prospects – only 21.
This number stands opposite 52 countries where political freedoms and civil liberties declined.
The report mentions Ecuador as an example of a country where elections were impacted negatively and downgraded the nation from designated as “free” to receiving the “partially free” label. In the South American country, criminal organizations had killed officials and candidates ahead of the general election that took place in August. In other countries it was incumbents who hindered the access of the population to a free election last year, including in Cambodia, Guatemala, Poland, Turkey and Zimbabwe.
Despite Thailand’s military Senate continuing to yield much power over the country’s legislative bodies, a more competitive election that saw a progressive party finish first earned Thailand a “partially free” designation, up from “not free”. Other nations improving their score were Fiji, Nepal, Liberia and Mauritania.
A total of 195 countries and 15 territories were analyzed on their levels of access to political rights and civil liberties, before being categorized as either “free”, “partly free” or “not free”. While democracy has been in decline for nearly two decades, the global landscape has improved since the report was first published 51 years ago. Back then, 44 out of 148 countries were counted as “free”, versus 83 out of 195 today.

EXCLUSIVE: Economist Who Warned Of Regional Bank Runs Makes Chilling New Predictions
Economist Dr. Kirk Elliot discussed the dire state of the economy and safe-haven assets on The Alex Jones Show Tuesday.
“General rule of thumb, when you invest in gold and silver, minimize your cost and maximize your ounces,” Elliot said. “The only way you can do that is with bullion.”
Elliot went on to lay out the denominations of gold and silver bullion with the lowest premium costs, as well as which metal he’s currently more bullish on.
“I would choose silver right now, even though gold is going up, gold is at an all time high,” Elliot said. “But silver is doing even better.”

God Is Gonna Cut The NWO Down
The NWO order in its supreme arrogance had its temporary moment in history. But if human history has revealed anything, it is that God will eventually cut those who mock divine providence down:
Everything has its time and place. And now those wise enough to come to the awful truth of this world are now turning towards Jesus as the great turning begins and all hell breaks loose.
