WE WOULD RATHER DESTROY OURSELVES THAN TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES.....

 

No matter the criteria, Donald Trump has proven himself unfit to be president, his four years of presidency tells it clearly, eliminating any doubt about whether or not he's up and fit for the job. America is a relatively young country and it still is among other things searching for its soul, searching to be compassionate and peaceful, searching to be a real world example, a role model, a leader. 

Any country trying sincerely to find itself, and heighten its goals in life cannot allow the type of cruelty targeting immigrants and refugees, it cannot ignore the injustices taking place every day on its streets and within its communities, it cannot turn a blind eye to the unacceptable wealth inequalities between its minority very rich and its majority middle and poorer classes, it cannot keep refusing social equitable programs under different excuses and empty forgotten slogans and sentiments. 

A country aspiring for world leadership cannot and should not tolerate the highest numbers of Covid19  cases and deaths in the globe. And keep lying about it to itself and the world. Any country looking honestly for its soul cannot try to escape and hide from applying some social justice toward its sick, toward its students, towards its senior citizens, toward its veterans, while ignoring its militarism and bullying, its wild adventures, its interference and exploiting in practically every country in every continent. 

Most Americans from all walks of life say all the time, this is not who we are, and probably it is so to a majority of Americans, but sadly enough no one in the world believe us any more, no one takes us seriously, we've totally stigmatized ourselves. The entire world think of us as totally double-faced and Hypocritical, selfish, brutal and greedy, careless. To my knowledge only Zionist Israel managed to beat us at the game, while we're both claiming to be still searching hard for our soul and compassionate goals.

As a matter of fact, both countries are facing the same type of leadership elections, while I'm only concerned  about us here, we have to seize the moment and choose new directions, we have to fight the dark visions governing our lives and future. And sincerely fight for our true character, that is if we really believe in our mission and the future of our country and the world. 

The country is being run exactly like a corporation, strictly to the benefit of its owners and share holders, America is at the mercy of the Trump business model, everything for him, his family and oligarchy, plus the few other businesses and banks around. The rest of the country doesn't really count, it just serves the small top wealthy elite, and every method and fascist nationalist tactic is legit to maintain power.

So if every citizen of this promising country don't give this election all they've got and their utmost seriousness, we all may wake up one day in early November wondering; how could we have left the fate of the country and the planet go down the drain, at the hands of haters, selfish deniers, liars, delayers and falsifier contortionists, we could truly lose our souls and start our new irreversible journey into darkness.       

The journalist A. Giridharadas says; The U.S. has become two countries, impermeable to each other, where each side thinks the other presents an existential threat to the idea of America, and where persuasion is all but impossible, it's a real cold civil war. 

              My gratitude to all my good readers, stay safe.  

      

        

FOR THE RECORD .....

 

With just under two months remaining until the U.S. elections, president Trump is desperate to show off his accomplishments in the area of foreign relations, that urgency translates to a strategy that can be boiled down to "Trump makes peace in the highest places" the goal is to broker as many international agreements as possible in order to portray the president as the ultimate deal maker.

But unfortunately, the challenges and inequities we are facing internally as a nation eclipses his ambitions and continue to be on full display. Rising Covid-19  cases and deaths, record unemployment numbers, more families defaulting on rent payment and finding themselves homeless overnight, more Americans grieving in the wake of violent police brutality, more divisions and chaos within the same cities and constituencies, more people than ever hitting the poverty lines while few billionaires doubled, tripled and quadrupled their fortunes since the pandemic started, we give them more tax-breaks, we further enrich pharma and the military, and we insist on calling Corona the Chinese virus because it sounds nice and deflect attention.

Mr. Trump's ugliness is what makes him what he is, the supremacist of all supremacists, he is not a conservative by any definition, he's not a Republican in any real sense, in no way a public servant, he's a president only of the disunited red states of America and their rednecks populations, he only addresses them because they blindly vote for him and definitely not because he admires them, or their ways or  their religious denominations. He loathes anyone poorer, weaker or less fortunate than himself, even our dead soldiers, they are all losers, suckers and stupid. 

In his final days, his desperate absurd continuous tweeting, attacking everyone and everything, camouflaging all his failed and aborted foreign adventures by pulling out few of our soldiers from couple theaters and attacking some of his own appointed generals and the war machine, inciting his voters to double vote, against the law of the land, glorifying fascism, brutality and racism, and totally sitting on the side, leaving the pandemic run its crazy wild course with no proper guidance whatsoever, Americans have certainly had their hands full and enough of his lies.  

Now to top it all and make things even more daunting, it happens to be a presidential election year, and that in America means that everything is politicized, everything meaningful is more or less put on hold, and only considered if beneficial or not to election or reelections purposes, both parties adhere to the game systematically every four years.

And that's not even the half of it, as we all know, the fact that our president is one of the most disliked public figures in all of American history, and a joke to the world, it only adds to the stress, pressure, excitement and sarcasm. I mean Mr. Trump has been officially impeached by the house, in fact if he's reelected, he will be the very first impeached president to ever be reinstated in office, I bet he even likes the idea. Talk about history in the making!!! 

But could it happen?? would the majority of Americans really vote him back?? or even some game of his to reinstate himself in office, many seem to doubt it, but you never know, I guess we'd all have to wait till early Nov. and see the game governing our lives and future unfold, the show is fully on and it must continue. And as Mr. Ian Bassin, a former White-House counsel explained ; "Mr. Trump is not trying to win re-election, he is trying to stay in power at any price, there is a huge difference between the two."

              My as always many thanks to all, be well and stay safe.         

         

 

OUR DARK & BLEAK ELECTIONS .......

 

It's high time for America and maybe the world population, to get serious about some essential changes in our lives. texts, laws even constitutions, cannot stay the same centuries after centuries, turning them into untouchable sacred words and policies, governing our lives exactly the same way it was 300 years ago, or 2000 or 3000 years ago. Not even religions and their sacred books are managing to keep literal and unchanged without new adaptations and new rereading and rephrasing of its texts to suit our modern times and tempo. 

It took humanity thousands of years to reach some forms of Democracy, and get rid in many places of authoritarianism and absolute monarchies. But most of us still refuse to use these privileges smartly and effectively, many insist on voting just to elect obvious dictators, greedy and selfish profiteers, adventurists who will stop at nothing to reach their goals. 

It is time to vote with open eyes to the future and not as always with nostalgic past times and memories of pseudo better days. It is time to vote climate, it is time to vote equitable equality and a reasonable wealth distribution, it is time to vote clean renewable energy, it is time to vote for common national social rights as in health, education, a descent roof on top of every American family, it is time to vote for rebuilding America's infrastructure, it's time to reconsider our tax shares and our benefits from it and maybe have a say in how it's being spent. 

It is time to vote for total care and some well being of our elderly and senior citizens, it is time to vote to diminish our armed forces, reduce excessive armaments, stop our adventures across the entire globe and our permanent endless wars against anyone and everyone. Trust me my friends, no one is contemplating or  looking to invade our country or enslave our people and change our lifestyle. It is time to vote civility, less superiority and racism, less hegemony, less brutality, less apartheid and surely less greed and selfishness. 

Americans have to start thinking and considering all of us, all our friends and allies, all of the Western world, the entire globe. We're turning into a small village after all. America and the world are paying a very heavy toll from fossil-fueled and nuclear disasters, from across borders pandemics, from stupid wars and adventures and sanctions in all their forms, from inadmissible disparities in national wealth distributions. 

Unfortunately it's not only America, many of the world countries live in similar conditions, live with tragedies and grievances, while they busy themselves stealing, delegitimizing, flattening out and nullifying elections, we cannot afford such infantile pastimes and games, nature and life are fed-up with our foolishness and carelessness, with our greed and brutality toward each other, and every other living species. Let's vote people who can provide creative, inclusive and collaborative leadership, people who can truly lead us into the future and not make us live and relive the past, or their own present at best. 

In fact, our entire planet's health is in grave danger and jeopardy, the election or reelection of reckless leaders, fascist nationalists, neocons, will surely result in irreversible changes to the well being of humanity, and to the climate that will affect and hurt every single person on earth.     

It's time, high time to take our elections more seriously and try to advance our and our children's and grandchildren's welfare and decent existence, a leader who will do anything to be elected or reelected shouldn't be in consideration. What the world and America need today is to avoid invoking its past glories and historical greatness, stop overstating our military prowess and geography and just embrace a fair dose of result-oriented realism.

       My usual many thanks to all, be well and stay safe.
