WINNER TAKES ALL ......

President Erdogan of Turkey , after escaping a failed presumed military coup , tightened firmly his grip on the whole of Turkey , arresting thousands and firing many more  from all walks of life . Ordering the closure of thousands of private schools , charities and other institutions , since imposing a state of emergency . Practically any and everyone not loyal to his line and his party's Islamist/rooted  policies , officially all against his declared arch enemy , an Islamist himself   self exiled to the U.S. , but including various secular groups and individuals deemed dangerous to the Erdogan reign .

This is and was a clear and only Middle-Eastern motto and way of conduct historically and for the past century , of all dictatorships and forms of governance in the Arabo/Islamic world . Rulings that invariably  required unconditional and  unrestrained governance , savage brutality , and an absolute upper hand in every possible walk of life , social , educational and administrative , including a total control of military and judicial systems .

Let us all enthusiastically and ceremonially  welcome Turkey and its Ruler to this same game and philosophy . They are firmly reintegrating the Middle-East and its mentality , its religious vanity and fervor , the whole game .  Of course one could argue that Turkey was never really far from it all , but their last century's attempts at modernization and secularization were remarkable to say the least .

A decade lost , and now being slowly buried . A whole era of genuine efforts and improvements  is coming to its end . Islam and a clear Middle-Eastern mentality and political dominance is gaining the upper hand , and  having the exclusive word to say , impose and govern in all aspects of life , strictly by its sole beliefs and doctrines .

Mr. Erdogan , his direct entourage and family , or the entire political party he tightly governs and controls , for some distinct reasons , they want Turkey back into the Islamo/Arab past and way of looking at all matters , and possibly manipulating it all , to achieve some of the old Ottoman ways , dreams and hegemony .

But !! like anything in life , there's always a certain price to pay , democracy , secularism and modernity are sacrificed , and loosing ground for long years to come , maybe for ever  in Mr. Erdogan's Turkey . Unfortunately he and all his aids and supporters are surely driving and bringing Turkey  closer to any military or kingdom in the area , to any theocracy representing any faction of Islam , he and them will all be governing and manipulating politics under the same auspices , Islamic tight rules of conduct , whereby eventually all constitutions and most civilian laws , will be changed and manipulated to suit and accommodate and perpetuate Islamic regimes and hegemony .

That is invariably what God wants his religious disciples , or as always only small factions of them  to do . All religions share these ugly beliefs and indoctrinations , and who could argue against or dispute the word of God ???   The coup attempt  or whatever it was , staged , previously known to some  or simply a little adventure , gave Mr. Erdogan the perfect opportunity and alibi to redefine his policies , internally and internationally , and solidify his grip over all aspects of Turkish life for years to come , A perfect coup by itself !!!

Half of its high ranking officers , thousands upon thousands of military personnel , 150 or more media outlets , schools by the hundreds , judges by the thousands , charities and other institutions by the thousands , women and other secular proponents , all are brutally silenced , and some tortured and imprisoned . This is not a simple coup affair , nor  a normal aftermath reaction to its failure . This is premeditated persecution of a whole faction of the population ,  one faction against another faction , by one way of life against another .

The saddest thing of all , is that , not only these men and tribes and politicians , call themselves Musslims , but they all in present times as in the past ,  they all maintained that all their brutality and atrocities against whoever was not their strict adherents ideas or personal profit , but were always done for Islam or their different other religions , just to satisfy their Allah , Elohim , Yahweh or other deities ,  generally Abrahamic  deities  though .....

A million Thanks for your time , and help spreading the blog over as many social medias and other means as possible , thank you all .    

  

THE WORLD'S NEW SAD LOW .....

The whole world politics and politicians are going backward and down the drain . From an intelligent and refinement point of view , whether  we look at the U.S. presidential elections , Britain's last referendum and its instigators , Turkish military coup attempt and its vulgar aftermath , Syria , Israel , Iraq , Libya and Yemen , no more refined political sense nor intelligence , it's all degraded to unmatched low levels of politics and governance , Religious terrorist organisations like ISIS , and many others , from all Abrahamic and other religions seems to fill the void and hold the upper hands.

Our main focus here are the American elections , as Donald Trump just accepted the Republican presidential nomination . Mr. Trump is a perfect miniature Nietzschean  " Ubermensch" , but in today's world and in America , there should be no place at all for this type of leaders . No matter what Mrs. Clinton is accused of , or disliked for , there would be no comparison for the choice of president . in November .

I for one strongly believe that a 20 points landslide will result in November to the advantage of Mrs. Clinton . The present staged panic among Democrats , is only to further energize the bases , while a feeling of imminent implosion in the other camp is covering the news .

Back in March of this year , a Trump supporter told the NY times " I want to see Trump go up there and do damage to the Republican party" Another said " we know who Trump is , and we're going to use Donald Trump to either take over the GOP. or blow it up". These extreme sentiments of anti- establishment nihilism , have to be condemned , albeit reflective of our modern political simplistic views .

Unlike Supreme Court Judge Ginsburg , who criticized D.Trump and later apologized , I would like to give my perspective about the candidates and Mr. Trump .  Mr. Trump and to a lesser degree Mrs.  Clinton , both belong to a category of people who do not deny themselves anything , it might lead to problems of cruelty and excessive domination of the strong over the week , generally treading over all others and any consideration to achieve their goals . Their lives go by winning , by exchanging favors . He more so , always benefits and promote himself for more power .

Mr. Trump wouldn't mind hurting people by making the cruelest of choices , because the system of morals he adheres to and lives under , permits and allows it . He tries continually to become an "Ubermensch" , while in fact he's only an apprentice and a pseudo one . Mr. Trump is the perfect example of one who would promise to give his voters a daily wellness pill , against their votes and loyalty, and later their submission .

Mr. Trump has to learn not to be so self centered , that sometimes it's alright to be modest and have good manners . No one is asking Mr. Trump to think less of himself , only to think of himself less.  Both candidates ,  more so Mr. Trump will invariably use the ends to justify the means , but in doing so , step on the rights and well being of many innocent individuals and groups .

He belongs to a minority who firmly believe in a demonesque way of behavior in life to succeed . Even his choice of V.P. , shows exactly how he would govern while being totally indifferent to his passive second in command and his ideas . Between the both of them they will further turn America into an obscure nativism , bigotry and intolerance , and I'm not going into their economical fantasies . A nation dedicated with all its citizens to further empower and enrich its top mega rich one per cent .

His whole arena was chanting " lock her up " after some GOP speakers inflamed their public , some of his aids came with a clear call for shooting her , returning us to dark ages witch hunts , or witch trials at the hands of notorious Christian inquisition torturer priests . Like the Nietzshean Ubermensch  living according to one's own self-realized morals , and not your society's morals , in our case the American society in its majority , demanding a clear set of morals from their political representatives .

Joining the Trump adventure , would definitely  be totally undesirable , and ill advised . No matter what some might label or accuse Hillary Clinton of , and I'm one with many reservations concerning her policies and political philosophies .

My usual many thanks for your time and help spreading  the blog , especially on social media as Facebook or Twitter and others .                  

VARIOUS OBSERVATIONS .......

The British Chilcot report of 2.6 million words , that took 7 years for a cost of more than 10 million pounds . A British report about the war involvement in Iraq , that condemn everything about the motives and excuses for the invasion and regime change of the country , even giving both  Saddam Hussein and Tony Blair a final cart blanche as its conclusions . Would it be different if anyone other than George Bush and Dick Cheney , the principal and original orchestrators of this crazy war , as I assume they would have been at least grilled and judged , instead of being ignored , even respected , as was Hillary grilled few days back for her handling of her e-mails at the state department .

An army veteran , lost his mind and went totally and uncontrollably berserk , shooting white police officers  on duty . He couldn't apparently stomach the killings of two black men by police forces , and sought revenge . Is it any different when a Palestinian fisherman from Gaza or a very deprived person from a demolished and ravaged village in the occupied West Bank , shoots or try to injure Israeli soldiers , avenging 70 years of horrific injustice .

Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton declared ; "Philando Castile would be alive today if he were white." But the scene turned different and ugly , as he was not white but black ,

Congress surely would have acted differently in both the Benghazi and the State Department e-mail investigations , and saved us all time and money , if it was anyone but Hillary Clinton , their declared enemy number one , the accused and culpable .

A whole different approach and labeling to the Orlando LGBT club mass murders , if the killer was anything but Musslem , till now no one believe or accept that a Musslem could be gay  or affiliated  to LGBT life .

The whole Bill Cosby sex scandals  saga , and his all too many female accusers would have been different , if it was not Bill Cosby in the accused seat . Indeed no equality between American men .

A massacre of several hundreds people , mostly burned alive to death ,  hardly had the world's attention , surely it would have been different if the victims were not Musslem Iraqis , trying to make a living in boring Baghdad .

Any people on earth , for the past century , would have had their independence and a free country , after 70 years of brutal occupation , theft of land and wealth , turning lately into an imposed total apartheid colonial system , only if the aggressor was anyone  different from Israeli settlers and their protectors .

A year or so ago , something amazing happened ; Iran , the United States , and our international allies and partners , made a very important step by reaching a diplomatic agreement that blocked potential Iranian nuclear armament . Few people and countries were against it . Would Congress today try to sabotage , derail and possibly kill the deal , if it was not for Israel's egotism and its Neo cons arrogance and self esteem , surely not for American interests nor world peace .

Finally , it's strange how Assad of Syria , has turned into an almost decent guy , simply because the opposition and their revolution has been totally hijacked by Islamist Jihadis , or simply handed to them ,  forgetting that Assad and his aids , helped create , forge  and used these same criminals himself for his own sake . would it be different when the Russian and less so the Iranians decide to forfeit him for a more moderate figure .

My gratitude for every one's time and help spreading the word , especially on social media ie ; Face Book , Twitter or others .      

DAMNED WHEN YOU DO , DAMNED WHEN YOU DON'T ......

Why is it always the West in general and the U.S. specifically the only ones accused and blamed for their aggressions , Neoconism and their political philosophies of regime change , as well as their colonialism . It is true that their policies toward the world , had and still are mostly directed under the auspices of all of the above . But to be honest , so are every political entity and country all over the world , industrial , rich or poor .

Similar tendencies for aggressions and hegemony , for stealing the wealth and lands of neighbors , for dominating their populations , existed and continue to be until today , Russia and before it the Soviet Union , Israel , Japan of the first half of the 20th century , Iran and lately China , and of course many others .  They all had their fair share of colonialism , Neoconism , apartheid behaviors , and all had their hands at regime change , when it was convenient to their policies and leaders .

Eastern Europe , Afghanistan , Georgia , Ukraine and Syria , as it was in Iraq , Yemen or Libya , are  but few vivid examples of our adventures .So is it a normal shared human affair , a human genes defect a simple love of expansion when feeling strong and able ??  Surely , It is not a monopoly of the West, nor an American exclusivity , although one has to admit , that the U.S. excelled at the game  as did the Europeans before them .        

Almost two and a half centuries ago , modern America was forged , to reach and become the leading , and the most powerful country in the world , with an unmatched vitality in all aspects . This same America is lately accused and criticized simultaneously for two opposing stands , relating to the situation in Syria . Hated for one side while heavily criticized for the other . Hated for not pursuing a regime change , or even a full invasion of Syria at some point , and not establishing "no fly zones".


I know of so many Syrians and Americans , as well as most media analysts , criticizing the Obama administration for not toppling Bashar Assad , and not getting seriously involved in Syria , and having no clear policy vis a vis  the Syrian regime and its army , while simultaneously  criticizing Hillary Clinton during her tenure as Secretary Of State or now as the presidential nominee , for her hawkish approach to foreign affairs , her Neocone's partnerships and regime change philosophies , even for her willingness to create "no fly zones in Syria".


  Until recently most people criticized the American ill adventured invasion of Iraq during the Bush era , and the aftermath policies at the hands of totally incompetent American governors . Mr. Obama who practically removed most American troops and presence from Iraq , is still heavily criticized and blamed today by some prominent opposing politicians for not supporting a meaningful surge of American troops in both Iraq and Syria , insinuating that it's the real reason for all the chaos in the area . All to say ; how divided opinions are and how non objective political differences and practices could be , and how biased most columnists, politicians , their readers and followers are .
