“If this were played upon a stage now,
I could condemn it as an improbable fiction.”
(Twelfth Night, act 3, sc. 4)
By general consent, in American elections there is no kingdom for a stage, there are no princes to act, nor monarchs to behold the swelling scene (1). By tacit agreement, elections hover midway between a farce and a theater of marionettes.
These preludial considerations are necessary, lest any of my 25 readers, more fiercely engaged in the electoral process, may suspect me of dubious political leniencies – for I will not join in the rabid attacks on Trump coming from the right, the left, the center and many other angles in-between. Which leaves us to wonder about the reason of such a combination among men who agree in nothing else.
To start, I like Mexico and Mexicans. In fact, though history butters no turnips, Mexicans have a more-than-sentimental, historical right to the American Southwest, given that in 1848, the Polk administration annexed it and invaded Mexico in the bargain, no doubt (then as now), to bring thither “freedom and democracy.”
Actually, there was a strong and vocal current in Congress wanting to annex the whole of Mexico. They didn’t only because Mexico had outlawed slavery, and the majority had the decency to reject its re-imposition.
Equally, having worked for a few years in the Middle East, I have regard and a certain romantic admiration for some aspects of Islamic culture, including its respect for womanhood. For what is worth, I find more enticing deep black eyes, twinkling behind a veil, than buttocks in broad view protruding from a ‘G’ string.
Even Romeo, not known for subtleties in matters of sex, when thinking of Juliet, imagined that,
“…Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,
Having some business, do entreat her eyes
To twinkle in their spheres till they return.”(2)
Furthermore, Wahabism, Takfirism and other pseudo-Islamic “isms,” only recently surfaced in Muslim nomenclature, are but spurious byproducts of sinister and macabre plots combining imperialism, Zionism, militarism, financial colonialism, (dis)colored revolutions and, of course, terrorism.
Whereas in Syria, the current administration has played the double game of the fake war on Isis, while helping Isis to succeed, following a classic Orwellian script.
That said, I do not believe that Trump would bar Muslims from entering the United States because of their religion. As for immigration, many, including Mexican nationals residing in the United States, agree that order and consistency, as opposed to disorder and incongruity, should govern the applicable policies.
As for border walls, I don’t believe that Trump would do more than what already done.
It is customary practice for political leaders, since Greece and Rome, to make bold and thunderous statements to capture the attention of an audience. It being even more necessary today, thanks to a run-away deafening media, in which “all is uneven and everything is left at six and seven.” (3)
There is a concerted effort to make it impossible for Trump to be nominated or elected, and opposition has kindled into hatred. Which had to be expected, if not else, because the mass-media has declared war on him – even though Trump has attempted (apparently without success), to deflect the Zionist wrath by statements about friendship with Israel, etc.
The trouble with Trump is that he has shed pretense and pretense is the sister of hypocrisy. It is as if he said “Now step I forth to whip hypocrisy.”(4) And given the 30-year plus mass-conditioning, habituation and assuefaction to hypocrisy of all shades, colors and variations, the change is unwanted, dreaded and hated. Trump says it like it is, whereas in a face dimpled with smiles it is often discovered treachery, betrayal and envy.
This is indeed a change, and notwithstanding claims to the contrary by some pundits, American culture hates change, in proportion as it declares itself progressive. Part of this collective frame of mind is the notion that nowhere else in the world conditions of life are better than in America.
Some may still remember the case of Amanda Knox, the American girl involved in a sordid sex-orgiastic murder in Italy. She was found guilty and condemned, only to be released on appeal on technicalities. After all, the servant has no claims against the wrongdoings of the master’s daughter.
But for her parents the greatest worry was not her murder, rather, the fear that their daughter might be imprisoned in an Italian jail, as if prisons in Texas were a model of humane treatment and redeeming education, rather than the hellish pits of which sometimes we hear of.
It is a syndrome, the core of an ideology – that is, a feeling of exceptionalism even affecting the man in the street, for whom “everyone wants to come here”, hence here is The Best.
A kind of autistic mythology imbued from the media and the movies, which also makes imperialism presentable and successful, especially when paraded as the export of a superior civilization.
But the more this sense of superiority develops, the more, however confusedly, it engenders a sense of encirclement (of America) by life-styles felt as threats to their own.
Trump is not really a threat of this magnitude. But just the hint that “he would talk to Russia” is a menace, especially to the trillion dollar military industry.
I suspect that the rabid, bi-partisan hatred of Trump reflects a deep-seated fear of change in an accepted and ingrained mode of thought – fear aptly supported, promoted and inflamed by those who stand to lose by even a modest advance of sincerity (in a president).
In contrast, the meaningless “Yes we can” by Obama, sweeps under the metaphorical rug everything that happened, at home and abroad, the destruction of Libya and Iraq, the fomented and financed “revolutions” in Ukraine and Honduras, the wholesale drone assassinations at weddings and funerals, the installation of black Anglosaxons in position of authority, but otherwise remote and callously indifferent to their kin to the point of poisoning them in mass, as with the water in Flint, Michigan, the declining standard of living of the 99% .
The list may be “as long as nights in Russia, when nights are longest there.” (5).
“Give me ten thousand eyes, and I will fill them with prophetic tears”(6), for I am afraid we will end up with the first woman warmongering president and the first Zionist, warmongering vice-president.
Those so inclined to vote, may benefit by watching repeatedly this 10 second video-snippet, which tells more about the character than a treatise of bible-length. Lest the temptation to vote her withdraws their attention from the atrociousness of the guilt.
To confute the attacks on Trump by so many media notables and quotables would be useless. I can only respond with a trademarked demonstrative act. Consisting of vigorously giving the middle finger salute to all pundits, puppets and pimps of power, past, present and future.

Jimmie has been doing a series on the life of Stalin…
Win, lose, or draw, Trump and Sanders will create some headaches in the seat of empire for the elites.
Since they represent the elite that’s impossible.
Consider them independent elite that will put a spoke in the wheel of the establishment elite.
That’s what I’m affraid of too – US of A will end up with that thing Hillary at the helm, and the world will end in nuclear ashes soon after.

Yip, Trump President means:
1. no more pretenses of “human rights”, “responsibility to protect”, “equality for all” and such equally fake platitudes, all being used as excuses to export death, violence and destruction to other countries;
2. Trump is a big bully, but USA is the biggest bully in the world, it’s only fitting that USA gets a big bully as President, so, let’s give US citizens what the deserved “good and hard”!
Hi Jimmie…my friend, when I told him that the Trump election campaigns were getting protesters said it all..
“They’re being paid.”
I hope Trump makes it to president.

Thank you so very much for posting this. I confess I was very frightened of clicking on you link when I saw it was Gadaffi. I made a promise to myself never in my life, may it be long or short, to watch again the un- Godly, barbaric lynching and murder of Gadaffi.
I was very afraid the video may had contain a part of the barbaric murder. Thank God it didn’t.
Having said that, Gadaffi was 100% correct in that speech. Assad laughing–naive idiot! He is not laughing now.I pray that he remembers Gadaffi’s words for the rest of his life and begs God to forgive him for laughing at the truth he and the rest there were being given freely and sincerely.

Simply wish to say your article is as amazing. The clarity in your post is just nice and i could assume you’re an expert on this subject. Fine with your permission allow me to grab your feed to keep updated with forthcoming post. Thanks a million and please keep up the gratifying work.
US elections.
Trump, an ‘independent’, semi-intelligent super-bully
vs.
the rest – controlled, retarded Goldman Sachs proxy bullies.
Too funny!
Too funny, indeed – until one realizes it will be one’s own future government.
If I were a US citizen, I would register to vote. On election day, I would stuff my ballot into the election box through a portable ballot shredder. That is the only viable option to me: shred the names of all candidates because none deserves becoming president.
Except for Bernie! only one in the running with guts and sense. except for Jill Stein, of course.
Thanks, Saker, for finding a way to address one of the most terrifying ironies of my adult life. I always care what Jimmie thinks.
I don’t disagree that a narcissistic sociopath is probably preferable to a the human-subspecies psychopath, but any who do choose to vote should probably watch and listen to how Trump speaks of the local residents in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, as he buys and bullies his way into destroying their “place.” Just so you understand who/what he is.
An interesting detail is the farmer’s fence they tear down, rebuild, and then bill the property owner for. Can’t wait to see what happens when he sends those slum-dwelling Mexicans the bill for his wall.
I do pretty much agree with Jimmie, though — it is very important to prevent Hillary and Bill (btw). from occupying the Position. They are a team, you know. I’ve yet to hear any talking heads mention the well-known character of the potential “First Gentleman.”
You don’t have to watch this whole documentary to understand where Trump’s devotions lie, and his views of the 95%, scum of the Earth. On the other hand, he is now threatening to trigger the Revolution if he doesn’t get his way. So….?

What was that song, ” Stuck in the Middle”? ” Jokers to the right of me, clowns to left..stuck in the middle with you.” I do not plan to vote in the scam of American electoral politics on principle. Trump is a lesser evil and is a hidden “yes, we can” type but from the right—once in office, should he even be tolerated by the deep state long enough, he will be neutered one way or another as he has no program or movement behind him.
Remember that the Nazi party was called the “National Socialist…party and had a base a bit like Trump’s and an anti establishment spiel. Trump is America’s Brown Shirt phenomenon but done “lite” with very little passion or push. ( And the labor movement is lining up $$$ and support for Hilary in their usual Judas-to-the-working-class role). sigh.
It is a false choice just as is: death by firing squad or death by hanging.
More will be revealed. A pox on both your houses. choose life.
I kind of get what this guy is saying — but at the same time, it’s weird that a person’s main good point can be genuineness when half of what he says is flat-out lies. Trump’s “shedding of pretence” is entirely a matter of style. He somehow doesn’t feel like a hypocrite. I think it’s because he speaks in simple declarative sentences. Some of them are true, some of them are false, some of them are dangerous nonsense, but at least they aren’t weaseling and hedging and meaningless blather. He says real things that mean something, even if they mean something that’s a complete lie or totally stupid.
I think there’s also a sense that Trump cares enough about his audiences to genuinely pander to them. Most of the Republicans seem to be pandering to their audience, and even maybe think that’s what they’re doing. But what they’re really doing is pandering to what Republican establishment propaganda has been trying to get people to think for years. But what the Koch brothers et al. have fed into the Tea Party base is not quite the same as what that base actually think themselves, and Republican politicos tend to convince themselves that distinction doesn’t exist. Trump may be the only one willing to just look directly at the people and parrot back to them, unvarnished, what they really think as opposed to what the political class wishes they thought.
But it’s not that he’s actually honest, or genuinely not a hypocrite. He’s a blatant liar and certainly a hypocrite. And I think even a lot of his supporters know that perfectly well; it’s just there’s a feeling that in order to mimic the base as well as he does, he must at least be paying some attention to them, be willing to actually look at them as they are. For all his obvious narcissism, it may be that in subtler ways he demonstrates less self-absorption than most of the candidates, whose “caring” about the people and what they think is so completely fake that even their attempts to figure out what the people want so as to pretend to give it to them, don’t get past what they pretend to themselves the people want.
Meet Donald Trump in the documentary You’ve been Trumped, filmed by the Scottish Anthony Baxter. Trump came to Scotland and said he was going to build a luxury golf course, with 6000 jobs, 1500 houses, a luxury hotel and two high-end golf courses. There was a lot of support locally. But when people saw the way he treated and bullied local residents, they were shocked and angry. Illegal land-grab and cutting people off from water and electricity, anything was possible and the local police did nothing. The filmmaker even got arrested and put in jail for filming on the property.
You can watch the documentary here: You’ve been Trumped
After You’ve Been Trumped became an international success and was seen by more than a million people on BBC2 last year, the US Apprentice tycoon finally agreed to meet the Scot and took part in his new film, “A dangerous Game”,which premiered at the Edinburgh International Film Festival in september 2014.Scots filmmaker ready to take on Donald Trump for a second time.
A Dangerous Game is the explosive documentary, which examines the eco-impact of luxury golf resorts around the world. Featuring exclusive interviews with Alec Baldwin, Robert Kennedy Jr. and Donald Trump, the film takes viewers on a globe-spanning journey to a World Heritage site in Croatia; the extravagant desert city of Dubai, the explosion of new but supposedly illegal courses in China and back to the filmmaker’s native Scotland, where Donald Trump continues his controversial building.
If anyone thought Trump was a “touchy-feeling,nice guy” they miss the point and the real Trump. He is a hard-nosed “business man”. What you saw on his TV show is what you get. But he does seem to “care ” about the country. And his businesses are not the kind that benefit much from wars. They do better with peaceful trade deals. He also doesn’t want to demonize Russia and Putin. So in the horrible list (especially horrible this time) of possible US Presidents he comes out smelling sour the least.(I would also say Sanders.But the “fix-is-in” there. And Killary will be the candidate for the Democrats.)
Hi uncle Bob, I understand what you’re saying, but still if you have seen the documentary he does not give a s***t about nature and people and laws. He does what he does for his own benefit. So how will he lead a continent like the US if the temptation for money is his dedication and his big ego is ruling him. That makes him an easy ball to play with for the deep state. I hope I am wrong, but yes from the horrible list…..sigh
One big hap-hap-happy family.

Apparently, this was at least a minor hit 2 years ago for Serebro:
Serebro Mi Mi Mi official video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noGBv9j8Dcw
Well, I do like Serebro. Naughty girls, but fun! And their hits are great to do some aerobics on.
Well, I’m not following the American campaign, really for lack of time, absorbed as I am with Russia’s interests, even more than with my own ( which I do not know if it is is very reasonable ).
But this selflessness is also a little because of the feeling that is promoted here, with this latest spate of articles, and comentariat also in mass, campaigning for Trump, that there is no other choice than to choose between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, or among the evil and the worst.
But after watching this political gathering, Fort Apache ( unfortunately only in Spanish, but if you can understand the language, not to be missed ), and whose guests seem very few suspected of wanting to favor anyone ( Spanish independent journalists and left wing politicos ) I can see that is not so and that the image you are trying to give here about Bernie Sanders does not fit the reality.
It seems that Sanders leads a program whose strengths are:
– System of public education and public health.
– Labour rights for a decent work with decent wages and timetable.
– Independent financing of political parties (crowfunding) ending the power of the lobbies of Wall Street on American political life.
– Put an end to wars and coups adventures, including a merciless criticism on the huge extra-parliamentary power of the CIA and advocating its demise.
– Repeal of the Patriot Act.
Well, this is what I could draw after watching the debate, and does not seem sleazy.
That is why, as noted by some commentators in this debate, has the support of the young people ( they are telling the case of the campus of Columbia University, full of tables asking for the vote to Sanders and none for Hillary, for example ), the university community and the middle and working classes.
It is true that it seems he points out that this only will be possible with the support of the people, because considering how the American system is, otherwise it will not work. But, in Spain it has been possible and formations as Podemos are now a third political force in dispute to form government.
Thus, a window of opportunity for change is opened, which, together with the winds of change in Europe can open a window of hope for all.
As the commenters pointed out, the American dream of getting a house and mortgage it to pay for the education of your children and that they can live better than you has fallen like a house of cards after the 2008 crisis, wages lead plummeting for 20 years now, and people find increasingly difficult to live. As in Europe with the dream of the welfare state, the American two-party system has remained the time this American dream lasted. For the first time, there is a generation that will not live better than their parents, the millennials, who it seems that are not so few, not so foolish, nor are as stunned as is reflected in this blog where almost everyone it is too old or has too many “interests to protect” to want any change, and so they have decided to move themselves.
So, there is no need to settle for a fascist like Donald Trump, no more to see how he treats the people to imagine how you will be treated those of you in the middle and working classes. Of course Hillary Clinton is more of the same or worst of what we have seen up to now.
But despite the attempts here trying to hide it, there are other options.
And if not, not to vote, take to the streets silent and not go home until they offer a solution and see what happens.
Forward Americans, comrades to victory, winds of change blow in Europe, where, from Lisbon to Vladivostok, we are waiting for you to build, together, in peace, a better future for all.
Fort Apache – Sanders, change in the US:

Elsi, I follow your comments with (mostly) glee! I think you get it!
Not only the young somethings are for Bernie Sanders. I am 80 and am fervently for him. And I am against Hillary who has proven to be a liar and a conniver if not worse. If Trump gets the Repub nomination he will no doubt be treated to a private filming of the Zapruder film, like all the wannabees are. I fear for our country.
Jim of Olym, glad to hear that you enjoy my writings, for me is a pleasure, despite the difficulties I’m having here to comment, with certain hours of the day which are the most convenient to me, practically forbidden for me, what obliges me to stay up late or wait for the weekend to comment, plus the obvious contempt and mocking of some commentators / authors who, apparently, I am aware now, consider me too dangerous. But I’ll tell you, dear Jim, it is not in my nature to give in to pressure, bullying and censures more proper of the systems which, precisely, you and I are fighting, and so, the more someone wants me out of here, the more I bother to stay.
I do not know if you can understand the Spanish language for to be able to watch the debate, but if not, at least, click on at 25:33 minute, where in the Apache Zapping section, Sanders appears telling the press that he does not want to talk about what they want to talk, but on the problems of the people. As commentators in the debate were commenting, that is the point, to dismantle the discourse of corporate press, and force them to talk about the issues that really matter.
Comrade Jim, you are not alone, yesterday 150.000 students demonstrated throughout France, with all the Lycées ( high schools of secondary education ) and the The Sorbonne University closed and bolted to protest against the labor reform, inspired by the labor reform applied here in Spain, that leaves workers without rights and at the mercy of the employer. For March 31st there is a call for general strike in France which will be joined by all the students unions.
You see, something moves, it is not true, as they say here, that the youth, nor the population, is zombified.
So go ahead, Comrade, although you have 80 years, I’m afraid you’re still very young, and also very handsome, if still struggle and hope for a more fair for all socialist world.
What you need to do is publish statements and articles about what Sanders speaks and the truth about him to counteract the Trumpistas here. I have not much access from here, but will publish everything I find.
As far as I’m concerned, from the time I have available to fight for Novorussia, Russia, and Europe free and socialist, from here until November 8th, 2015, you can consider me campaigning for Sanders. I do it for free, as it should be.
Hugs, comrade, health and strenght.
I support the people who support Donald Trump.
knowing —
Trump is an actor. All actor-candidates are preselected. You do not get a ‘choice.’
Every drop of energy wasted attacking Mr. Trump’s supporters is a victory for his puppet masters. By choosing against them, accepting selected elements of your conditioning or choosing blindness, you have made yourself a part of the problem.
Concerning Bernie Sanders, when Pandora opened her jar and released the passions of the world, one thing stayed inside:
Hope.
Greece was ambivalent but America embraces hope with every rock in its foundation.
Trump or Sanders, makes no difference, but I do understand why ancient Greeks kept their hope in a jar.
Many astute people with a good knowledge of history saw deja vu when Trump announced his candidacy.
Beware the Trojan Moose, they shriek.
It happened before, in 1912 election year, when Teddy Roosevelt a previous president announced accepting nomination for the new “Progressive Party”, so the vote could be split to get ‘their anointed boy’ the future traitor & unindicted war criminal Woodrow Wilson in power.
Within mere months of his getting in reelected the late 1916 election, the US went to war.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_Party_%28United_States,_1912%29
in the end Roosevelt fell far short of winning. He drew 4.1 million votes—27%, well behind Wilson’s 42% but ahead of Taft’s 23%. (6% went to Socialist Eugene Debs). He received 88 electoral votes, compared to 435 for Wilson and 8 for Taft.[12]
This was nonetheless the best showing by any third party since the modern two-party system was established in 1864. Roosevelt was the only third-party candidate to outpoll a candidate of an established party.
Brilliantly constructed! Almost like the bard whom he has studied for so long as he has, I found myself pausing to read again what I had just read.
Trump is brave and bold. I believe that he is sincere and genuine, and very comfortable with what he has made of himself. I am willing to give him license to brag and to over promise. I would just like to find out what such a man could do as president.
We have had too many pretenders and prevaricators before this one.
Here’s two documentaries you guys could watch, one is You’ve been trumped another is the art of the deal
“If Donald Trump stars in the classics of horror”:

“There is a new monster in the popular imagination. It is called Donald Trump, wears an impossible hairstyle and unless we send as soon as possible Terminator back in time to kill his mother, may be the next tenant of the White House. Panic fear causes the bigmouth Trump, a sort of Jesus Gil cubed, to the extent that the Economist place the Republican candidate as one of the ten global risks for the world.
While the world holds its breath watching the results of the caucus, voting and other preliminary to the choice of candidate, Design Crowd web asked its readers to become Donald Trump on the main character of horror films. This has been the most celebrated proposals”:

Seems Knox was actually not guilty.
Lets not mince around with fancy thoughts and words. Clinton is a veteran NWO sycophant with the credentials necessary, a treasonous and totally corrupt character. Sanders is an “AIPAC wind up doll like all the rest in Congress and the Senate” – Chris Hedges. Trump is an intellectual midget, a divisive megalomaniac Mafioso conspirator with some business acumen. None are fit to be POTUS at this crucial time in history, apply what you will in fine detail of analysis.
