How Americans Voted By Religion


 The 2016 U.S. General Election
The statistics below give an initial breakdown of how Americans voted by religion.

What the statistics do not tell you is that the ultra-Far Right voted overwhelmingly for Donald Trump - but others within this group will say they regarded both candidates as 'illegitimate' - for very different reasons.

This group is not included in the statistics of Pew Research so why they supported Trump is given in a separate reference below.

Widespread Rage
With widespread demonstrations across the nation at the election outcome results and Trump's abysmal record on race relations over a period of nearly forty years, it is only a matter of time before civil unrest by disenfranchised minorities - completely alienated from the Trump administration -  plagues the Trump Presidency for the next four years - with the death count of Black, White and Hispanic-Latino protesters likely to be very substantial after President Trump assumes Office in January and commences the process of enforcing law and order against peaceful protesters opposed to his Presidency, across America.

Hispanic Rage
I do not even want to speculate about anger, rage and revolutions in the American Hispanic and Latino communities and in the Hispanic and Latin world, worldwide, if and when President Trump commences his Hispanic 'rounding them up' - breaking up families and the profiling of Mexican and other immigrants (similar to the Jews being required to wear Stars Of David prior to their deportations to concentration camps in Nazi Germany) before their 'processing' and enforced mass deportations across the Rio Grande.

And What About The U.S. Mainstream Media?
Don't expect your compliant mass mainstream media to cover these distressing events - until the international media and world opprobrium shames them into so doing.

[Sounds like a bumpy road ahead for President-elect Trump and, as Hillary Clinton quite rightly pointed out, all his actions will add fuel not water to all the fires both at home and overseas  - truly bonfires of vanities.]

This Is Not America 
 Betrayal Of The Ukraine
 (A Personal Opinion)

[the edited version]
A Precious Gift - Only Missed When It Is Taken Away
Many years ago when I was younger, I was invited to join Peace Through NATO. This later became The Atlantic Council.
It was a relief and joy to be actively supporting and working with others who shared similar beliefs that one day the people under Soviet rule in Eastern Europe would have the freedom to choose their own governments and have the right to free speech.
You only appreciate how precious the right to vote into office a government of your own choice when this freedom does not exist and you are forced to see the same politicians on the state-controlled media outlets - on billboards, on television and on radio - for decades.
The years went by and we never thought that one day, almost without warning, the walls of despair would be torn down and the light of freedom and democracy shine through. It was an awesome sight.
But I never forgot the imprinted pictures of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice - scaling the walls, running across the mined landfills, and whose place of final abode was dying from shots fired from high tower outpost gunshots between 'no mans land', their last thoughts unknown as they lay in pools of blood, never having reached the promised land.

'Betrayal' Is The New Business Model
Mr Donald Trump, President-elect of the United States is a business man.  Admired in Moscow because he sees everything in dollars and roubles.
''A man Moscow can do business with'' says President Putin.
It reminds me of the Stalinist era when 'Uncle Joe'  and Neville Chamberlain were both only too happy to do the business with The Fuhrer - at the expense of Poland.  And look where that appeasement led.

Pact With The Devil
The American electorate have made a fatal choice in electing Donald Trump as their next President.  They say people get the government they deserve.  This could not be further from the truth in this particular instance.
The day after the U.S. general election I watched corporate news networks: CNN, Putin's Russia Today, Fox, Sky Television and The BBC.   All networks hid from  their local audiences and from the world the many demonstrations across the United States which universally read 'TRUMP!' ' NOT MY PRESIDENT!'  As in pre-war Germany you required access to foreign media outlets to know that this was happening across America the day after Donald Trump was elected.
(NPR was the exception - and I acknowledge this in my reference below.  Sadly NPR, as one of the few  'libertarian' networks in the United States, will be a major target for censorship or propaganda 'reprograming' during the Trump era.)
Only when U.S. mainstream media realised 'the world was watching' did they broadcast part of the truth about such widespread  demonstrations across America.
To date there have been no deaths of peaceful unarmed protesters - but expect this to change when Donald Trump assumes the office of President of The United States next January.
During his presidency, there will be as many martyrs for freedom and justice across America in these coming years of darkness over America as there are for justice in the Ukraine today.   

Suspension Of Civil Liberties:
Prepare For This Change Now -  Before President Obama Leaves Office In January
As in pre-World War II Germany, expect the new Homeland Security Chief to quietly suspend civil liberties - especially new restrictions on the media and internet - all silently unreported by the mainstream U.S. media - which is why I have always told you, prepare for your ability to mass communicate across the web and alternative structures now - before they too are restricted by tyrants and demagogues.
[Remember you will never know the U.S. media has been gagged by the Trump administration - since the 'gagging order' will forbid them from ever telling you they have been silenced - on pain of losing their licence to broadcast.]
It will all be packaged up as 'the war against extremism' and sold to the brainwashed and gullible as part of the 'sacrifices' which you must make to guarantee your personal liberty and freedom for the continuity of democracy. Nothing will be further from the truth.
But again, the Great Communicator will have fooled (or cowed or bullied into silence) all those acolytes and followers of the New Order or 'movement' (as he himself calls it) into docile subservience.

No Friend Of Ours!
These are the real reasons educated U.S. politicians, diplomats (and former Presidents) have all distanced themselves - out of in sheer horror - from Mr Donald Trump.
They know what he is, what his intentions are, and what his final legacy will be when America re-emerges from the darkness - and they want no part of it.


Fool Me Twice.............
This is what happens when democracy is fooled and allows ISIS (or other fanatics) to stand as candidates and then be democratically elected into power in open societies.
What happened in the United States two days ago should serve as a beacon on the headland, a warning to steer clear of  the wrecking pirates rocks of democracy - where naive ships, drunken pilots at the helm, and crew, all perish, their ships and cargoes laying scuttled, beached and rusted, on a desolate skeleton coast, where their very bones are parched and bleached by the relentless sun and searing sands.

A 'Free and Fair Election' Says The Mainstream Media
'A Free and Fair Election' Says 'Russia Today' Television Network - run and controlled by President Putin, lock stock and two smoking barrels.
They say it was a 'free and fair' election.   Who says?  CNN, CNBC, Fox and Russia Today television stations.  These same media outposts owned by oligarchs whose only objective is to serve their respective political masters.
They allowed one candidate to scream nightly across mainstream media to tens of millions of viewers of this Reality TV show: 'Oh Lying Hillary' 'Jail Her' shouts and screams of 'Kill Her' 'Drain The Cesspit!' could be heard from the rabble used by America's first Fuhrer to assume democratic office.
(Trump is America's first but, be assured, his fanatics in political office will guarantee that he will not be it's last - but the first of many to come.)

'JEW-S-A!'  'JEW-S-A' (Shouts on Mainstream TV From A Typical Donald Trump Supporter During the Presidential Election Campaign)
Don't be fooled when he (Trump) tells you he has Jewish relatives - so too did the Fuhrer (Adolf Hitler) [carefully read the reference sections in my earlier blogs.]
You also heard the shouts of 'JEW-S-A' from one particular anti-Semitic supporters of President-elect Trump. Such are not the 'one-off' - but are symptomatic and now mainstream  - and such thinking will be running all branches of  the United States government from January 2017.  Prepare now for this 'celebration' of democracy - if you dare.
Expect more of such in the future from Mr Trump's 'baskets of deplorables' (to properly quote Hillary Clinton or 'the movement', to quote Mr Trump)
[I already told you in earlier blogs that the Fuhrer favored the creation of Israel as a homeland for the European Jews - and only (reluctantly) abandoned these plans because of fierce opposition by the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem at that time.
If you read back, you will find that I told you of Zionist Jews only too happy to cooperate with the Nazis in Germany and across Europe between 1939 and 1945. You will find such individuals in the United States today. Like Trump, their bottom line is business and survival - and not human dignity.
They will laud Mr Trump for his support for Israel  and, in exchange, will agree to stay silent as he and his supporters 'crucify' Muslims  across the United States.   Such ignorance will fail to appreciate that they too are on the same list of 'deplorables' by 'the movement' - but not the immediate priority for a pogrom.]


Is it any wonder that half of the population of America was mesmerized and brainwashed into hating Hillary Clinton?
 As in pre-World War II, Germany, the armed forces of the United States are disciplined, so do not expect a military coup.  What good would it do in any event?  Half the American population have either been brainwashed into believing Hillary Clinton is dishonest and the embellishment of evil incarnate and Donald Trump is truthful and good (the Presidential campaign was portrayed as a battle between 'good and evil' by mainstream propaganda media outlets - all going along for the ride - and for ratings) or simply voted for hate instead of love.   
[Who says that evil will not ultimately triumph on this planet of primitives?]

The Munich Pact - History Repeating
NATO will follow the instructions of its new Commander-In-Chief, President Trump, in January 2017, and find ways and means to cast the Ukraine and its people adrift.
Of course it will not be portrayed in the media this way - but you know already what will happen.
(Maybe even investment in the Ukraine by U.S. companies - ultimately to be taken over (sold) to Russian oligarchs : '' there are many different ways to skin a rabbit'' a businessman might say.
 New orders will be given to NATO worldwide to 'co-operate' with Moscow - at the expense of the liberties and freedoms of those of lesser economic value - from the Baltic States to Taiwan and South Korea across the Pacific and back to the Atlantic.

Or, as Churchill said
From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the continent.”

'Peace In Our Time' will be the new slogan as the lives and liberties and true democratic values of people worldwide are signed off  in the blood of martyrs.

'Peace For Our Time!'
Who can ever forget the joy of the British people and the Empire when Neville Chamberlain arrived back in England from Munich in 1938 - to loud acclaim as he declares in his hand the signature of Herr Hitler and himself, on paper, to guarantee peace across Europe and the British Empire?  Nobody in Great Britain wanted to listen to calls of 'blood, sweat and toil' and pictures of a very dark and very different future ahead - than the one painted by Chamberlain and the mainstream media of the day - all sceptics and critics are banished to the back benches - as Chamberlain is lifted sky-high by over-joyous crowds to 'hip-hip-hip hooray!' and  'for he's a jolly good fellow!'  - and lauded as the savior of Albion and of The Empire.  [I always wondered what Winston Churchill felt and thought as he read through such nonsense in The Times of  London.]
We are talking about proud people, the Poles, being brought to their knees, dragged kicking and screaming into the darkness of bondage and servitude - and all for political expediency and business interests where money and not people are the true gods.  A world where Mammon has replaced God and is the only real objective worth living for.

Like all peoples whose liberties and freedoms have been removed, the Ukrainian people will fight back.  They will not go gently into the night.

They opposed Soviet exploitation during the 1920s and 1930s and will now do so yet again - this time against the Russian Federation.

The 'Evil' Muslim 
Trump is far too clever to 'play the Jewish card' too heavily and negatively - at this moment in time - in the United States.  Muslims, however, are in a weaker political and financial situation.
What I say to fellow-Christians, Jews, Buddhists and atheists alike, be prepared to stand up and defend the rights and liberties and safety of your (fellow citizen) brother and sister Muslims in the United States and in Europe as hate-filled propaganda fills the airwaves and brainwashes people to commit evil acts.
I especially appeal to those of you who have no love for Islam nor for Muslims.  Even if this is at the cost of your own life or liberty.
Some day, perhaps, they will repay the favor by standing with you and your family in your hour of testing and of need.
Do not let hatred and evil triumph your soul nor sell it to evil for temporal rewards in these coming years of darkness.
This could well be your moment of truth.   (Maybe this is even why you are really here?)  Your time to choose between good and evil.  You may not get another opportunity in the here and now.
Americans have made their choice.  Now it's your turn.

Doctor Fausto
-Metaphorically Speaking - Do Not Literally Interpret This Section - But Senator Clinton is Unlikely To Be Taking On Mr Trump Publicly in The Future for Reasons Other Than She (Obviously) Accepts The Results Of The Democratic Process and More Related to the Scandals Which President Trump's 'Team' Would  No Doubt Disinter Should She Become 'A Trouble Maker' - But Is This Democracy Or Gangsterism?)
Already, it is said, Mr Trump intends to offer Hillary Clinton (and her family) a deal - a way out - should she care to take it.
To paraphrase: '' I'll call off my packs of wolves (Congress, 'the movement', and the subservient mainstream media) from tearing you and your family apart if you stay silent while I run the country.''   It's a 'take it or leave it' businessman's offer.  ''Either take your chances when I already have my packs of  starving (fanatical supporters) wolves - and the media to booth - from here to Moscow - all drooling and foaming at the mouths for your blood, for the heads of you, your husband, your daughter, her husband and family, all to be served and delivered on a silver platter  in the Amphitheatre of Public Reality TV entertainment for the masses - and where I guarantee the most intimate aspects of your private life and that of your husband from your idle teenage years, all will be exposed on national and international TV -  and whats left over after that, fed, in neatly cut up pieces of juicy meat (news), to the gossip press Rottweilers for their further wild speculation and titillated amusement - or sign my pact in blood to not oppose me and I will let you, your family and your foundation survive politically and financially - for the moment - and at my sole discretion.''

 end of deleted section
To the Ukrainian People
Neither be fooled by accepting 'offers' from those who appear to be friends bearing 'gifts'.
Like the Wooden Horse of Troy, there are (and will be) many ways to destroy the Ukraine and again enslave its people in the process.


In Conclusion

As the world of  Mammon disguised as God replaces light for darkness is there any hope of salvation where religion itself has sold its very soul for less than thirty pieces of silver?


As history repeats will we ever learn from our mistakes?

Is this 'the ultimate' 'democracy' has to offer?; yet another Hell with Lucifer playing the role of God?

Is so primitive a species even worth the effort?

Will we ever get to the Promised Land?
[Only if you have an inter-galactic spaceship I fear.]

What If........it's........
 President Donald Trump?

(October 2016, reblogged)

The Shape of Things to Come
Should Donald Trump be elected to the Office of President of The United States, there will be a lot of disappointments.
The first major political casualty will be the man who I earlier described as one of the most intelligent people in the House today, and a likely future Presidential candidate (but not if Trump has his way) Paul Ryan.
Paul Ryan will, at some early future point, resign and bide his time as a local activist until Mr Trump disappears from the scene.   (Ryan may well have to wait a very long time for The Great Manipulator and his 'entourage' to exit the scene.
A President Trump, with a hit list of those Republicans who no longer, in his view, represent the Party, will no doubt take a lot of pleasure in taking revenge on Ryan - and ensure that in the process he forever scuttles Ryan's future hopes and dreams of ever making it to the White House.
Ryan is clever enough to appreciate you cannot work constructively with someone like Trump.
Sooner or later they would both inevitably have to part company, no matter how conciliatory Ryan attempted to be with regard to policy support and development on behalf of President Trump.)

Did They Go...Or Were They Pushed?
Don't Rely On Your CNN and other Corporate Mainstream Media To Tell You the Truth!
Apart from the obvious political replacement candidates chosen by President Trump the list of additional (non-essential - not required because of political changes at the top)  'resignations' are likely to be very substantial from every Department: Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, Labor, Health and Human Services, Energy, Treasury, Department of Justice, Homeland Security, Veterans Affairs, Department of The Interior and from The Department Of Agriculture.
Also expect senior resignations from the Federal Reserve, which is not a Government Department, to take place.

Expect a Trump Presidency to appoint 'Witchfinder Generals' to 'go after [perceived] 'enemies' of Donald Trump - across all Departments and in both Houses, amongst Republican and Democrats alike.

(In another era, more robust official steps might have been taken to stop Trump becoming President.
)
Then there are the likely senior (non-essential) resignations from the CIA, the NSA and all other branches of the Armed Forces including the Department of Defense.

To The Gullible and Subservient Corporate Mainstream  Media:
Be Careful What You Wish For
(A Coup By Any Other Name)
If the U.S. media reported them all, it would look like a coup d'etat had taken place in the United States. But the (usual subservient) corporate media will just fall in line and you will be hard pressed to gauge the extent of the political chaos and revolution which is taking place within.
Neither will the media itself escape the wrath of Trump and his extremist supporters in both Houses.
Indeed it will also be amongst the first of casualties.
New defamation (censorship) laws (similar to Singapore) will be introduced to put the media into checkmate.
Familiar faces will announce they are 'stepping down', leaving politics, going into business, retiring for 'health reasons'.
(We can thank the Russian Federation for this state of events.)
In the Kremlin, President Putin, his heads of Military, the FSB and the GRU will all be celebrating the first victory ever of the birth of a new order on the American continent - and speculating where these new possibilities can take Russian - U.S. relations.
(In actual fact, the hands of the clock will have moved closer to midnight, for all of us, than they ever were since the Cuban Missile Crisis in the 1960s.)

The media will (just about) live to rue the day it was complicit in the birth of the Trump era - before it too finally succumbs to total subservience - a prefect clone of it's Russian Federation counterpart.
Of course all will be explained away to an almost totally ignorant American public audience as one by one, media empires are 'taken over' by individuals personally loyal to one individual - President Donald Trump.
A few 'bones' will be 'thrown' to the Trump 'faithful' -the 'common' 'plebes' - to convince them that he is 'one of them' (or at least continue to keep them angry and now direct their motivation and energies away from domestic stagnation and against those 'disloyal' and 'enemies within' who are 'conspiring' to prevent America becoming great again.)

A Hail Mary
The McCarthy witch hunt era will be reborn anew - with new internal enemies of the State to be burnt at the stake (or deported.)
And so it will be with other known household institutions which have guaranteed American pre-eminence throughout the globe - as one by one they are all absorbed within the Trump empire - the logic being that you cannot organize America's economy successfully unless you can replicate those of China and the Russian Federation.
As individuals of wealth attempt to leave the United States for citizenship of other jurisdictions, they will face huge 'penalty fines' before being allowed to relinquish American citizenship for foreign shores.
The IRS will be instructed to mercilessly pursue any individual of wealth attempting to relinquish U.S. citizenship and transfer their substantial assets abroad.
Global corporations will be legally obliged (forced) to repatriate to within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States all wealth held overseas - except where special permission has been granted by the Internal Revenue Service.
Some will choose Canada, others Mexico, the Caribbean and South America.
Citizenships For Economic Refugees
Russia and China, amongst other nations, will attempt to woo Americans of wealth desperately seeking to 'escape' their predicament under a Trump Presidency.
 And the above will only be the start.

 Somewhere....... Over the Rainbow.........
And what about the ordinary American folk?
They will be exactly where they have always been - angry and confused - but the great manipulator will know exactly how to channel away this anger and confusion so that the real issues of the day (economic decline and how to revive America as a global industrial and economic force) can be comfortably kicked somewhere far far down the road for another day, for someone else to resolve at another time and in another era - assuming  the Trump 'dynasty' (or cult of personality) has an 'end'.

President Donald Trump

Who Really Won the American Election? 

The American people have voted for a profound and fundamental change.
It's certainly not the change I would have liked to have seen in America but it is their free choice in one of the world's remaining democracies.
'Broken Washington', 'despair with corrupt politicians who put foreign global interests before the American people' and 'international financial banking and trade conspiracies against America' were amongst the motivating themes of the Trump Presidential campaign.
But can President Trump deliver on his promises and what will happen to him if he cannot?  We no longer live in a unipolar world where the balance of trade and services lie exclusively with the West (America) and its Allies.
 There are new emerging trade blocs and superpowers-in-the-waiting, ready and willing to challenge American pre-eminence worldwide -  and the only way to stop them will be war - and not the trade and job benefits which President-elect Trump has promised his followers.
But are global trade wars (or even more military conflicts) what the American people really want and have really in mind when they voted President Trump into Office?
  

Who Benefits?

Firstly, who will be the beneficiaries both in the United States and overseas?

The greatest long-term winners are both the Russian Federation and China.
The Russian Federation because it was thanks to Wikileaks that the perception of Hillary Clinton was (wrongly in my view) re-enforced as a 'disaster' for America.
[Ironically, President-elect Trump no doubt will deal with the danger of Wikileaks much more ruthlessly than ever a President-elect Clinton would have dared.  I would not at all be surprised if  more 
'active measures' to silence Wikileaks will be an option on the table as President Trump more and more appreciates that one of the factors that put him in power today ( the said Wikileaks and its effect on the trust or distrust the American people had in Secretary of State Clinton) will, in another instant and scenario, destroy him tomorrow - should he displease Moscow - which inevitably he will have to at some stage.  
In any event, in my opinion, the world will eventually tire of Wikileaks holding a 'sword of Damocles' over the democratic process for forever and a day and a point will be reached where what little support it has just whittles away and Mr Assange is left to 'swing in the wind'. ]

The next theme is 
Bringing Jobs Back To America
This can only be achieved if other nations accept the economic 'diktats' which President Trump will attempt to impose.
But what if they (Pacific rim nations, like the Philippines President, Duterte) say 'up yours Trump, our future is with China'; will he send in the Marines to enforce 'gunboat diplomacy'?; how will he impose trade tariffs on countries which, in effect, 'turn their backs' on the United States in favor of China (in a frighteningly similar manner that the European Union is threatening to do with the United Kingdom.)
And what if South and Central American countries go likewise - all moving towards Russia and China.
Do You think that this will never happen?
From seeing President Trump's 'entourage' I am very sceptical that he will succeed in enforcing new trade arrangements on countries other than Canada, Europe, The United Kingdom a handful of Gulf Kingdoms and (possibly) India.
India is an exception because its relations with the Obama administration have been lukewarm and because of President Trumps ' stand against Islamic extremism, this will 'translate well' with the Indian (Hindu, Buddhist and minority Christian) citizens as a whole.
Many nations - mainly in Africa and The Muslim Gulf States - I have already discounted since they will fall in line, economically, with whoever is in power.
[The Gulf kingdoms have no choice with Iran now poised to dominate Iraq and even the Straits of Hormuz.   North Africa is in total chaos and the rest of central Africa no different - thanks to Islamic (ISIS and Al Qaeda) insurgency against mainly Christian and animist countries across the Sahel, parts of equatorial Africa, with bloody tribal wars in the Congo and parts of West Africa.]
But the Pacific nations are an entirely different matter.

Bringing The Jobs Back To America:
But Where Will The Jobs 'Come Back' From?
Conceivably from Mexico, from Canada and from The European Union Member States. 
Unless Americans want to be paying outrageous prices for their mobile phones, electronic goods, their Levis, Tee-Shirts and other consumer products, most unlikely from China and the Far East.   
Neither is there much hope in expanded export markets in North Africa - thanks to the chaos created by U.S. foreign policy over the past decade.
(see my earlier blogs.)   Regions in West Africa and possibly East Africa offer some hope of expanded markets for U.S. goods and services - but none which will bring jobs back to the United States.
Likewise in South East Asia.   There are increasing possibilities of expanded trade and services markets in Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Burma, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and (potentially) India, but their politicians will quickly move towards China if the prospect of investment and trade terms appear (or they are offered) more favorable arrangements or preferences than currently exist with the U.S.A.
Higher taxes on overseas corporations engaged in the export-import markets will likewise do little to boost the U.S. economy - without it having a devastating effect on the pockets of ordinary folk in those regions who voted for a profound change in their economic circumstances.

'Make America Great Again'
Trump's key pledge is 'make America great again'.
But America already was great, so, according to Trump supporters, this translates more as a 'drumbeat' and 'war cry' against nations who do not acquiesce with U.S. trade policy - and this in itself is likely to drive most of them away from America and toward Russia and China at a faster rate than has ever been the case in recent history.
The key here will be whether China can 'exploit' this 'golden' opportunity.  I do not think that China has yet matured to the point where it is capable of taking sufficient advantage of the chaos caused internationally by a Trump victory by working with its Asiatic counterparts as equals rather than as subservient vassals.  

The International 'Conspiracies' Against America
If I am wrong and China can see the way ahead, then we could even see more seismic shifts during the Trump Presidency - the movement of international bodies (such as the United Nations - regarded by many Trump supporters as part of 'the global conspiracy') out of the American hemisphere.
(I said about 10 years ago it would not surprise me if one day the U.N. and other international bodies relocate to Beijing - but even I could not have foreseen these conditions giving them such momentum as the hatred and contempt which such will now find themselves under a President Trump
administration and supporters now seek to impose.)

Such international bodies concerned with peace and security, health and trade, will all be effectively told either 'do what the Trump administration wants or get outta town'.

Handover Time
So folks, do not be surprised or shocked when, at the eventual end (or close) of a Trump Presidency, far from bringing jobs in any great numbers back to America and making America 'great' again the entire balance of power has finally shifted to a rival superpower(s)  or 'blocs' - and the issue we will then be facing will be the prospect of a global war as America fights back to regain lost trade routes and international markets to 'new kids on the block' with a new drumbeat to rally the Trump entourage - but this time with the threat of nuclear and biological arsenals as backdrops to the slogan of 'failure is not an option'.



*Japan, South Korea, Singapore,and Taiwan are in a category of their own - being the engines of progress which most of the developing world has sought to emulate.  If they all collectively, as with the Philippines, move in the direction of China, which though unlikely is not impossible, this is bad news for President elect-Trump.
President Duterte has sent a conciliatory congratulations to President-elect Trump which you can read below.

Senator Harry Reid:
''FBI Director Comey May Have Broken The Law''

 A few days ago the FBI Director, James Comey, sent an unusually short, cryptic but innuendo-filled email to Republican and Democratic Congress Members on the eve of the most important election in the democratic world

What Is Really Going ON?
Is There Much More Behind All This That We Are Not Being Told?
What Are Comey's Real Motives On The Eve Of A General Election? 
Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton was not going to 'abscond' anywhere after the election - so why 'filibuster' the democratic process of the world's foremost superpower - and in the process turn the United States into a Banana Republic - and a laughing stock - in the eyes of the whole world?

4 Things You Might Not Know About James Comey, FBI Director




Fact 1
*The FBI Director was 'frustrated' at being stonewalled by the Department of Justice so close to an election - and may have 'over-reached his authority' by 'going rogue'.
The Chicago Tribune quotes the DoJ as having warned FBI Officials that Comey was 'going rogue' (i.e. had gone 'off the reservation' and was 'on his own')

Fact 2
*There have been ongoing wars between the FBI and Justice Department over several totally unrelated investigations - all of which have convinced the FBI Director Comey that the DoJ and not himself, is 'politically steering' legal investigations across the land - much to his frustration.

Fact 3
*The FBI Director and his wife suffered a personal family tragedy in 1995 and there is some cause to believe that Patrice Comey's frustration with the lack of universal screening health care (preventative action) by both political parties to save the lives of other children (like their son Collin) may be one factor which caused Director Comey to 'loose faith' in the 'system' per ipse to 'deliver results' - hence his decision to 'go public' rather than 'suffer in silence'.
[I can empathize with the family in this regard for several reasons - which is why I am factoring this in as subconscious motive - and would not lightly use this term if I did not have the personal experience nor the professional qualification to so factor. PE ]

Fact 4
*For the above reasons Director Comey had no future (as Director) in a President Clinton administration and, because of constant 'scraps' with the DoJ, his position, even within the FBI, was becoming 'untenable' as complaints that he was 'difficult' to work with, would be an understatement, according to unquoted sources.

Fact 
*Both political parties utilize the FBI and the DoJ wherever and whenever they can to garnish advantages for either prosecuting or withholding or stonewalling or leaving cases (with political overtures) in abeyance - or just deprioritizing them into (eventual) abeyance due to lack of funds and lack of bipartisan (political) approval.


It is probably a thankless job - whoever is in it.
You please one politician and displease others.
One lot praise you today - the same lot wanna burn you at the stake tomorrow if you transgress or hinder or question what they want to achieve or even caution them that they (or one of their own) might be breaking (or have broken) the law.

Expect some new information about Director Comey himself and (if you check Facebook or Twitter) maybe even some leaked internal memos between his Department and that of the DoJ in the next few days.
If I were you I would check the alternative media - Facebook or Twitter - for example - out first rather than rely on your compliant and docile mainstream media for the full stories about this matter - you are likely to get just as good a picture from the fringe as you are from corporate and compliant mainstream media sources.


 None of the above excuses recklessness on the part of the FBI.
(You can read about where such reckless actions
on the part of the FBI have resulted in the execution of innocent victims - all based on 'tainted' FBI evidence in the reference section below.)

On A Side Note To This Blog:
The Comey's child Collin died shortly after birth from a very preventable bacterial infection - had universal prenatal screening for expectant mothers been covered by the health care insurers.
There has been no significant move in the United States towards preventable screening for the population as a whole for this nor other bacterial infections which could easily be detected and in the process thousands of deaths or severe disabilities prevented in unborn children - and all because of the high costs to the health insurance industry who do not want to foot the bill.
Even the FBI Director himself has limitations to his powers. 
This is enough to make anyone loose faith in 'the system' delivering if you just sit around and wait.
 [Having said that, what can be more 'reckless' than a 'belief' in political power and putting profit before people?]


Perhaps President Clinton, if elected, and as a mother herself, will do the right thing for the country and ensure that healthcare is genuinely overhauled to make people and not profit the objective - introducing statutory preventable screenings across a range of nationwide diseases - a new objective for a more just and equitable caring society than exists at present in the United States?;because for certain, her opposite number (Mr Trump) from his 'ivory tower of wealth', has no incentive to so do for the mass of the populace.

BUT THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN UNLESS YOU GET OUT AND VOTE!

Those New Emails and
Presidential Hopeful Hillary Clinton

Those New Emails and Presidential Candidates
The recent decision by the FBI to open a new investigation into related emails on a different server other than that of Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton must be seen in the light of new information having been discovered or made available.
*It was initially unclear on which server the relevant material was discovered. It is now being claimed to have emanated from Senator Clinton's civilian (unprotected) server.


Are They Relevant?
The sources, in this instance, are immaterial.
What is important is that the FBI is given the opportunity to study the relevance (if any) of this new material and to report its findings at the earliest opportunity.
As I write this blog no doubt the emails are being scrutinized to the finest minute and legal opinions are being (if not already) given about what further steps or indeed recommendations, if any, should be made to the Department of Justice.
Sadly, what Paul Ryan has not said (to date) is that, in the interests of democracy, the investigations must be speedily dealt with so that the election due in less than two weeks can take place in a democratic environment.

Speaking Out
In my opinion, one of the roles of the Speaker is to oversee the exercise of democracy - and to speak out in its defense, where necessary.
The shadow of another 'stolen' election (similar to that of Florida where Presidential hopeful Al Gore was, according to many U.S. citizens, even today, 'robbed' of the U.S. Presidency because of Gerry Mandering) because of political interference will not be perceived well - should the U.S. wish to retain it's status as the world's foremost democracy.

Withdrawal Of Senator Clinton's Access Privileges
Paul Ryan has requested that Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton be denied access to confidential top secret briefings because of her negligence in handling classified data. Sadly for Representative Ryan, this late intervention is unlikely to cut him any slack with a President-elect Donald Trump.  Ryan is perceived as 'part of the problem.  Of the 'old Republican guard', the GOP, which has lost its way and has no place in a 'Trump White House incorporated'.

Fidelity, Bravery and Integrity
My own view is that it is in the interests of the FBI to get the matter out of the way before the election - regardless of what the different politicians from both main parties are advocating.

Decline and Fall
A Trump Presidency will be just another step in the direction of  'Decline and Fall of The Roman Empire'.
For example, in the Philippines (which I know very well - having both lived there and researched it extensively)  (to the shock of the State Department)  President Duterte has said, to both the European Union and The United States, in a nutshell: ''F*** you, our future is with China.'' ''They can offer us a better deal, as fellow-Asiatics, than your imperialism and colonialism has ever done for our country.''   In my opinion nothing could be further from the truth.  President Duterte is just as ignorant as his counterparts - the fast-emerging U.S. and Western politicians (such as, for example, 'Fat Boy' Johnson, Secretary of State in the U.K.) who are ignorant, but masters of speech and of war.


The Pre-Emptive Mindset Is Conditioned or Evolved, It Was Not Born That Way
As I said in one of my few interviews, we have entered an era of ignorant politicians coming into power who are running the world towards unnecessary (and uneconomic) conventional and 'limited arena' nuclear wars - all fueled out of total ignorance, twisted ultra-nationalism and sheer greed - with no thought for future consequences.
Sadly, war, is, in my view, not always avoidable. My contention is that it should be a last rather than a priority option which politicians, if they get their way, are increasingly seeking ways and means to make it such. 

The Fog Of War
To put it in a nutshell, what has emerged in the U.S. is a generation of  political naivety who wield a frightening level of power, who live in a 'bubble' and have no appreciation of their own (nor their country's) mortality, egged on in a hyper-mediated  vacuum, a hypercube of 'invincibility' and 'ultimate victory' which, sooner or later, motivates the thought of pre-emptive 'first-strike' options to settle political and economic differences with competing superpowers and smaller nation states.

Of Democracy and Democratic Values 
(Have Any Heard of Plato's 'Republic'?; I think Not)
When you permit armed militias to be created the length and breadth of the land who perceive themselves as 'last lines of defence of democracy' or defending certain ('treasured') amendments of the constitution or to retain economic and social privileges, it's only a matter of time until such armed militias see their role in opposition to the State or Federation in pursuit of their own agendas and privileges.
It is only a logical extension that pre-emptive actions against real or imagined 'infringements' of such 'perceived' democratic 'values' is the next step.

This is why most of the world is wise enough not to permit armed militias (as opposed to citizens' rights to bear arms) to exist -  to the extent that they pose a threat to the security of the state or country.

The Doctrine Of PreEmption: 
Ringing Eight Bells
Should Mr Trump be elected he will attempt to extend U.S. influence in a way unacceptable to most of Asia and South America.
The economic future of the world for at least the next 200 years lies in the Pacific rim, with China, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia and The Philippines playing critical parts.  (I exclude Australia because it is, to put it frankly, at the mercy of economic developments in China.  It would not at all surprise me if conflict breaks out at a future point between Australia and Indonesia for control of valuable sea lanes, oil and gas deposit fields in Straits curently within the territorial jurisdiction of Indonesia - but strategic resources which Australia will desperately need if it is not to become a poor Asiatic backwater in an otherwise thriving region.  Under such conditions a strengthening of ties between the U.S. and Australia as its 'eyes and ears' will only be to the benefit of both parties.  But such alliances will ultimately be regarded as 'threatening' to Indonesian sovereignty which, similar to the Philippines, might well pivot closer to China both economically and militarily.  It is for such reasons that I said in my last blog the election of a President Trump will undoubtedly move the hands of the clock closer to 'midnight', the end of this 'watch', than has ever been the case for over fifty years.)

Off Track?
So what in hell has all the above to do with this issue of emails?; you may well ask. 
Should this issue of Senator Hillary Clinton's emails not be resolved before election day and the electorate (in my opinion wrongly) perceive Hillary Clinton as 'untrustworthy' because of the mass media mis-reporting of FBI's inconclusive (or ongoing investigations) on or at Election Day,  the credibility of many institutions (The Presidency, The Electoral Process, The Justice System, and the FBI itself) are all gravely undermined, whoever is elected as President of the United States.
All of this will be reflected in the perception of the U.S. in many parts of the world as an 'unreliable' ally, one which is too fickle and lacks 'commonsense' in judgement - prefering instead to place itself and its values on hypocritcial soap boxes so it can preach to the world principles and codes of conduct which it itself either lost a long time ago or indeed has long-forgotten how to apply justly and fairly.

Philippines' defence minister says military can cope without US aid:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/oct/07/philippines-defence-minister-says-military-can-cope-without-us-aid

[Interestingly, before the decline and fall of past Empires, 'disaffection' and 'name calling' of 'superpower' leaders were commonplace - to taunt or goad 'the Empire' into taking military action against the insulters (to teach them a lesson) - thus consolidating disparate tribes against 'the common' imperial superpower 'enemy'.  Such 'disparaging' insults and remarks by 'the taunters' took maybe months for spies to transmit the 'disrespect' spoken either informally or at formal meetings (or festive gatherings) back home for action by Greece or Rome.
Alexander of Macedon dealt with such dissention and disrespect ruthlessly - as did the Roman Empire, The Spanish Empire, the British Empire and the Third Reich.   
Now it's America's turn.   Let us wait and see what will happen.]

What If........it's........
 President Donald Trump?

The Shape of Things to Come
Should Donald Trump be elected to the Office of President of The United States, there will be a lot of disappointments.
The first major political casualty will be the man who I earlier described as one of the most intelligent people in the House today, and a likely future Presidential candidate (but not if Trump has his way) Paul Ryan.
Paul Ryan will, at some early future point, resign and bide his time as a local activist until Mr Trump disappears from the scene.   (Ryan may well have to wait a very long time for The Great Manipulator and his 'entourage' to exit the scene.
A President Trump, with a hit list of those Republicans who no longer, in his view, represent the Party, will no doubt take a lot of pleasure in taking revenge on Ryan - and ensure that in the process he forever scuttles Ryan's future hopes and dreams of ever making it to the White House.
Ryan is clever enough to appreciate you cannot work constructively with someone like Trump.
Sooner or later they would both inevitably have to part company, no matter how conciliatory Ryan attempted to be with regard to policy support and development on behalf of President Trump.)

Did They Go...Or Were They Pushed?
Don't Rely On Your CNN and other Corporate Mainstream Media To Tell You the Truth!
Apart from the obvious political replacement candidates chosen by President Trump the list of additional (non-essential - not required because of political changes at the top)  'resignations' are likely to be very substantial from every Department: Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, Labor, Health and Human Services, Energy, Treasury, Department of Justice, Homeland Security, Veterans Affairs, Department of The Interior and from The Department Of Agriculture.
Also expect senior resignations from the Federal Reserve, which is not a Government Department, to take place.

Expect a Trump Presidency to appoint 'Witchfinder Generals' to 'go after [perceived] 'enemies' of Donald Trump - across all Departments and in both Houses, amongst Republican and Democrats alike.

(In another era, more robust official steps might have been taken to stop Trump becoming President.
)
Then there are the likely senior (non-essential) resignations from the CIA, the NSA and all other branches of the Armed Forces including the Department of Defense.

To The Gullible and Subservient Corporate Mainstream  Media:
Be Careful What You Wish For
(A Coup By Any Other Name)
If the U.S. media reported them all, it would look like a coup d'etat had taken place in the United States. But the (usual subservient) corporate media will just fall in line and you will be hard pressed to gauge the extent of the political chaos and revolution which is taking place within.
Neither will the media itself escape the wrath of Trump and his extremist supporters in both Houses.
Indeed it will also be amongst the first of casualties.
New defamation (censorship) laws (similar to Singapore) will be introduced to put the media into checkmate.
Familiar faces will announce they are 'stepping down', leaving politics, going into business, retiring for 'health reasons'.
(We can thank the Russian Federation for this state of events.)
In the Kremlin, President Putin, his heads of Military, the FSB and the GRU will all be celebrating the first victory ever of the birth of a new order on the American continent - and speculating where these new possibilities can take Russian - U.S. relations.
(In actual fact, the hands of the clock will have moved closer to midnight, for all of us, than they ever were since the Cuban Missile Crisis in the 1960s.)

The media will (just about) live to rue the day it was complicit in the birth of the Trump era - before it too finally succumbs to total subservience - a prefect clone of it's Russian Federation counterpart.
Of course all will be explained away to an almost totally ignorant American public audience as one by one, media empires are 'taken over' by individuals personally loyal to one individual - President Donald Trump.
A few 'bones' will be 'thrown' to the Trump 'faithful' -the 'common' 'plebes' - to convince them that he is 'one of them' (or at least continue to keep them angry and now direct their motivation and energies away from domestic stagnation and against those 'disloyal' and 'enemies within' who are 'conspiring' to prevent America becoming great again.)

A Hail Mary
The McCarthy witch hunt era will be reborn anew - with new internal enemies of the State to be burnt at the stake (or deported.)
And so it will be with other known household institutions which have guaranteed American pre-eminence throughout the globe - as one by one they are all absorbed within the Trump empire - the logic being that you cannot organize America's economy successfully unless you can replicate those of China and the Russian Federation.
As individuals of wealth attempt to leave the United States for citizenship of other jurisdictions, they will face huge 'penalty fines' before being allowed to relinquish American citizenship for foreign shores.
The IRS will be instructed to mercilessly pursue any individual of wealth attempting to relinquish U.S. citizenship and transfer their substantial assets abroad.
Global corporations will be legally obliged (forced) to repatriate to within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States all wealth held overseas - except where special permission has been granted by the Internal Revenue Service.
Some will choose Canada, others Mexico, the Caribbean and South America.
Citizenships For Economic Refugees
Russia and China, amongst other nations, will attempt to woo Americans of wealth desperately seeking to 'escape' their predicament under a Trump Presidency.
 And the above will only be the start.

 Somewhere....... Over the Rainbow.........
And what about the ordinary American folk?
They will be exactly where they have always been - angry and confused - but the great manipulator will know exactly how to channel away this anger and confusion so that the real issues of the day (economic decline and how to revive America as a global industrial and economic force) can be comfortably kicked somewhere far far down the road for another day, for someone else to resolve at another time and in another era - assuming  the Trump 'dynasty' (or cult of personality) has an 'end'.
