One thing I will say is that the election season this time around is not dull! We have seen so far the demise of the Bush criminal family, or at least the demise of their political ambitions. No doubt the Bush/CIA operatives will be working frantically behind the scenes to make sure that the next administration won’t or won’t be able to bring indictments against any Bush or Bush retainer.
The Trumpster is, of course, the proto fascist tool of Wall Street and the City of London financial interests, who are desperate to preserve their obscene profits and social standing and to forestall the retribution which is surely coming their way. One interesting aspect of the Republican electorate is the various mini-praetorian guards, that is various grouplets who think they get to choose the next emperor, such as Angry White Men (part of the Trump faction), or Evangelical soi-dissant Christians who Have Never Read the New Testament (the Cruz faction), or crypto Mormon gangsters (the Rubio faction). One could also mention Aging White Feminists on the Democratic side.
Which observation brings me to another and unusual aspect of this year’s elections which is how much of what I believe the young folks call “stuff” is coming to light, One has the impression of long neglected archives tumbling open, from faux-feminist and CIA operative Steinem’s past, as detailed by Camille Paglia at Salon—NB, I usually can’t stand Paglia, but the Salon article needs to be read and do please follow up that reading with the wiki article about Steinem—to the high crimes and misdemeanors of Henry the K. The essential reading here is the new book by Greg Grandin, the cliff notes version was helpfully provided by Grandin himself writing for The Atlantic I think it was.
I happen to be, for now, a member of the Working Families Party, which has endorsed Senator Sanders and I support and agree with that endorsement, for whatever good that might do. So far as I know, WFPers don’t get to vote in New York State’s closed primaries.
So far as can be foreseen at the present time , the next president will be Trump, Clinton or Sanders. In deciding how to vote, I consider the character of the candidates, my own best interest, and what is, in my judgement, best for the country.
Of the three, Sen Sanders is the only honest person of the bunch. Clinton is not only a serial liar, she is a terminally incompetent bloodthirsty sociopath, whose election would plunge us into a general war we cannot hope to win.
