RADICALIZATION OF AMERICA



U.S.A
VS
MUSLIMS
and


MEXICANS
and


AFRICAN


AMERICANS

and

NATO

and

NAFTA

and...

Ban travel, limit refugee entry all the more, blame drug importation on illegal entry and ignore what comes through the front door, build a higher and better wall, deport, deport, deport, weaken already shoddy health care system, make a long list of promises that are impossible to keep, etc.

There are a great many radicalized American citizens in the USA who are working at radicalizing others while we alienate them all with inflammatory rhetoric. That is no way to win this "war."

Political savvy is about leading, not commanding and insulting; it is about well organized and controlled guidance and collaboration, not "I win, you lose" deal making. It is much more efficacious to learn and practice judicious use of political correctness than to accuse, threaten and castigate at every turn. Yes, governing is a skill that some have and others don't.

At this time we are suffering through a great drought of skilled governance. At this rate, American exceptionalism will be celebrated by the isolation of those who lost the art of collaborative co-governance in the world community of nations.

DEATH OF A COUNTRY, BIRTH OF AN EMPIRE, DONALD I




TO YOU WHO VOTED FOR DONALD TRUMP

Sit back and witness the death throes of the democratic republic known as the United States of America.  Some of you voted for the one who promised to drain the swamp only to watch him populate it.  Others voted for the same one who promised to build a wall that a foreign country would pay for, only to hear him change his tune.  You voted for him despite his continued assertions that he admired Vladimir Putin.  You voted for him because he stated that he is pro-life only to sit back and see him destroy the lives of those who crossed his path.  You voted for him despite the fact that he has millions of dollars of debt that is being contested in the courts but does not stop him from declaring that he "loves debt."  You voted for him
despite the fact that he refused to open his tax returns.  You voted for him although he brags about the fact that he is smart because he knows how not to pay taxes.  You voted for him all the while knowing that he said that the president of the United States doesn't have any possible conflicts of interest.
You voted for him even as he constantly attacks the press and electronic media.You voted for him despite the fact that he disparages the intelligence apparatus of our government.  I could go on but the bottom line is this:

Donald Trump does not care about the present structure of this country.  He does not care about its people.  He is bound and determined to do what he wants to do come what may.  No one will change his mind.  He will continue to attack one and all who do not see things the way that he does and tell him about it.  He is A DICTATOR IN HIS OWN MIND AND HE INTENDS TO DESTROY ANYONE WHO CHALLENGES THAT.

His saying that the USA will begin to spend for the construction of the wall is not a simple change of mind...it is a savage show of authoritarian force that shows that he can and will do anything that he wants.

Wake up, USA.

PRESIDENT? AUTOCRAT? DICTATOR? USA, BEWARE

Fellow citizens of the USA:
Someone said of Donald Trump: "Don't take him literally, but take him seriously."
OK!  Got it.  Nothing he says with the words of the language that humans hear carries the habitual meaning to which we are accustomed.  Everything that comes out of his mouth has a meaning that the hearer has to interpret by using other means.  The following are understandings that come to me when I take him seriously, after blotting out the literal meaning.
(I have had some experience with this.  I experienced the coup of Ferdinand Marcos of the Philippines while I was living there.)

Let me start with his goal:  I am in charge.  You will obey me because I deserve to be obeyed.  I alone am the deal maker who can and will solve the country's problems.  

We will build a wall so that there will be absolutely no cross pollination from the South.
We will exclude those whose religion we do not respect so that we will protect ourselves from their behavior and their ideas.
We will strengthen our depleted military.
We will bomb the shit out of those who don't act as we want them to.
We will leave NATO.
We will rip up the Trans-Pacific Trade agreement.
We will have good relations with those who can teach us how to make our citizens obey.
We will rebuild our infrastructure.
We will abet the behavior of the largest and most powerful enterprises who will protect us by controlling the economy to the detriment of the proletariat.
We will cut taxes.

This will be marked by the complete privatization of health care, pension benefits and other social services.

We will encircle ourselves with our family members and those who are loyal to the members of our intimate circle.
We will seek out the military elements who are of our ilk and assure them of powerful posts.
We will insulate ourselves from the tax structures that are a burden to be borne by the less fortunate than we.
We will capture and incarcerate those who do not obey our dictates.

I alone know and decide who those are who will be brought into the upper echelons of government.

Brothers and sisters, keep your ears and souls well pealed to what this election has wrought.

RUSSIA, ARE YOU LISTENING?

Click on this to get a good view of this situatiion.
“Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails.

TREASONOUS TRUMP
It is impossible to keep track of the "Mullarkey" (Cfr. Joe Biden) that this guy spews.  I am a person who does not trust politicians.  But then, since this specimen came on the scene, I am in the process of changing the mental image that I have of politicians.



The first step in the conversion process is that at least once a person learns how to manipulate the device, some good can become available.  Hillary Clinton is a politician.  She is a manipulative person.  She does things that make onlookers shake their heads and spit foul words.  But, she has shown that out of her efforts much good appears.  Does she lie?  Ha!  Do you remember her story about dodging bullets in Kosovo?  Now, of course we have the emails.  Everyone is camping on the emails.  Not me.  At least she was sending and receiving from friends and allies.  She was not knowingly inviting Russia to help her to subvert the interests of the USA.

Treasonous Trump is not a politician.  I am sure that he is also nefariously immoral and dishonest who offers no hope to anyone looking for something good to come as a result of his actions.  His latest shenanigan should put the cap on it for everyone...He invited Russia to get involved in the skulduggery of his presidential campaign.  If his buddy Vladi doesn't answer the call, maybe his necktie making host Xi Jinping can bail him out.  There is an old saying that my parents repeated to me often, "show me your friends and I'll know who you are."  
Bottom line, we just found out who Treasonous Trump's friends are so we should show him by our vote  where we think he would do better in life.

WE'RE BEING GAMED

Hey, Donald, don't forget to plan to extend
 your wall across the Pacific Ocean
Yes, fellow Americans and fellow inhabitants of planet earth, there are human beings in this world who are attracting a lot of media attention, and therefore, free publicity under the guise of running for the office of the President of the United States.  The way I count them they are:
Donald Trump who is writing a new reality Television show as he goes along.
Dr. Ben Carson who is writing the first draft of another book as he goes around promoting his latest one.
Marco Rubio who is hoping to be president so that he can delegate a vice-president to be present at the office for the 45% of the time that Marco will be enjoying other pursuits.
Ted Cruz who wants to be president because he thinks that all he will have to do is to snap his CEO fingers and get what he wants, not what the country needs, or wants for that matter.
Jeb Bush who is running bcause his family is forcing him to do so, and he looks and acts it.
Carly Fiorina who is running because she is still unempoyed after being fired from her previous employment, five years ago.
There are many others in the "race," but they are not really worth mentioning.

Not one of these people is serious about wanting to be the president of the country.  Not one of these people cares about the welfare of the United States or any other country for that matter.  All they care about is the "fame" (the brand?) that they are building for having "run" for the office.  None of them is serious.  Donald is getting the most publicity because he has the most experience in how to get the media to notice him.  He doesn't "attack" the media.  He strums them like a $15.00 ukelele.  He and his cohort are all playing to the cameras, not really being serious in exposing their true convictions about what being the president of the United States really means.

We've heard many statements that are devoid of any mature, adult impact.  Everything from deporting 11 million undocumented people, to making the presidency of the United States out of bounds for Muslims, carpet bombing vast areas of countries and childishly mocking a candidate for the presidency who was a minute or so late in returning to the debate podium due to a rest room break.  None of this can be serious, and it isn't.  It is all an early April Fool's ploy to attract attention.

I am writing this at this time because in many countries around the world, December 28 is a day of light hearted prank playing.  Children get to stick their tongue out at their elders, fail to call the priest "Father" and other such silliness on the commemoration of the "Holy Innocents."  This year, we are all being "sassed"by the presidential "candidates" preparing for the election of November, 2016.  They are not candidates, they are shrewd stand-up comedians preparing very lucrative future endeavors that will provide the warm and furry lining to their already well stuffed pockets.  It is also for this reason that they are spending so little "campaign contribution bribe money."  It frees them from having to report back to the government what they have spent, other than to claim the tax deductions.  It also frees them from having to account for their expenses to those who would have a claim against their favors.  

How do I come to that conclusion?  For me it is very easy.  I notice that not a single one of these clowns ever bothers to speak to the world.  They are careful to curry the favor of their white, blue collar "base" and no one else.  (Verify this by paying attention to the pictures you see on television.) They are convinced that if it "plays well in Peoria" it will generate income in Hollywood.  They care not a single syllable about what the rest of the world thinks.  They forge ahead as though the rest of the world did not exist.  It doesn't matter to them because they are not running to better the United States' position in the world.  They are investing their efforts in the potential of the blue collar audience for their TV and Book income.  They don't care one whit about anyone outside the white, English speaking, blue collar base because they know that this is their future audience, their future meal ticket.  

I am telling you, they are not fooling me.  Believe me or not, they are not fools...they are scheming, conniving snake oil salesmen with a plan.  Not a plan for the country.  A plan for their early retirement at our expense.

AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM

...except if your ancestors were transported here from Africa and enslaved...Or your ancestors were found here by the Europeans who caused the words of the Declaration seen here to be promulgated...
Or you're Jewish... Or you're Japanese... Or you're "Mexican..." Or you come from a country where ebola is a possibiity... Or you're from Syria... Or you're Muslim... Or...?  
Now, that's what I call American exceptionalism.  
It's so exceptional that the vast majority of mass murderers who ply their trade in this country are white males.  All they get for the trouble they cause is a bunch of recrimination from the government saying "This has got to stop."  
It does stop...for a couple of weeks if we're lucky.

Now we have the brain trust in Washington calling for a "pause" in the acceptance of refugees during which time no Syrian refugee will be accepted into the USA unless three high officials sign the acceptance, for each individual of any age.  Now, that's equality.  
Here's more equality: One individual who is running for the presidency of the USA compares Muslims to rabid dogs.  One wants to force them to carry a special ID card with their religion and their country of origin noted on it.
It has become a badge of honor for senators and representatives to refer to terrorists as "Radical Islamist Terrorists."

Yep, we are exceptional.  
Nothing to brag about, for damn sure.

I WILL BE SO GOOD YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT

Presidential campaign, 2015 - 2016 ... There is something there.  I think?
What we know so far, some of it anyway.

* Mexico sends all its worst people here.  They're crafty.
* Mexican women come here to have "anchor babies."
* Obama is the worst president ever.
* Jeb Bush is a low energy person
* Hillary Clinton is the worst Secretary of State ever.
* Going bankrupt is fine because you take advantage of the laws of the country.
* The answer to the immigration "problem" is to deport all illegal immigrants.
* I will build a wall between here and Mexico that Mexico will pay for
* Going to war with Iraq was ...Uh...Hmmm
* "Obama Care" has to go
* The Iran deal is proof that the US is near total disaster
* Bill Clinton is mentally disturbed
* All those running, except for Hillary, know nothing about foreign affairs
* So naturally they know nothing about international diplomacy
* Scott Walker will not have to move out of Wisconsin
* Rick Perry is no better now that he was the last time
* Hillary is trying to apologize her way into the oval office
* Anchor babies are mostly from Asia
* All lives matter
* Speak English, this is America 
* Planned Parenthood gets away with murder and organ peddling in plain sight
* Campaign contributions and lobbying money = BRIBERY.
* Chris Christie blew his chance to impress back in 2012 - You were late, Man
* Trump is not afraid to use his goons to clear the room of those he dislikes
* None of those running know that English is not the national language of the US


We still have almost 6 months to go before the people start to express themseves through the official voting process.  I have been enjoying the daily side show.  There is no need for Saturday Night Live, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon or any of the other professional clowns of the airwaves.  We have nearly two dozens Bozos before our very eyes every day. If it were only a visual circus that would be passtime enough, but in this case it is auditory as well.  

Some of the ideas that bombard us are rather challenging.  Some of the questions to which they give rise are also bewildering.  
For example:
     Are the 11,000,000 to be deported only Mexicans?
     If not, how many are Latin Americans from south of Mexico?
     How is getting them across the Panama Canal going to be managed?
     If 11,000,000 is only Latin Americans, is it possible that the illegal immigrants from other countries get to stay?
    I happen to know that there is a very successful underground of illegals from the Philippines all over the country.  Are they going to be ferretted out and put on boats going back to Manila?
     Oh, the Wall.  Is it going to mimick the East Bank/West Bank divide between Israel and Palestine?  Now that is one mean wall.  
     Is Mexico going to pay for it with remittance money?
     Or maybe with drug money collected from US users?
     Are we going to collect remittance fees to pay for the Wall?
     Whose going to unclog the court system from all the lawsuits brought against the US gov't by the army of NGO lawyers protecting the "Anchor Citizens" from deportation?
     Better still, what will be the going rate for the monetary settlements that will become the "soupe du jour" to keep the offended "Anchor Citizens" happy and quiet?
     If the Mexican "Anchor Citizens" don't sue us (US?) you can be sure that the Filipinos will. 
     When it comes to the Affordable Care Act and its repeal, are we sure that the special interests haven't bought their way into that position?

I am wondering if it is Bill Clinton who is mentally disturbed or someone else?
I am also wondering on what wall the psychiatric license to make such a determination about someone's mental state is hanging?

If you don't think that this is funny you must have got upon the wrong side of the bed this morning.
