I woke up with
the news of Hillary Clinton being
nominated by the democratic party as a Presidential Nominee . Not that it
was any surprise , it was a foregone conclusion
. However it amuses me when I see the
two Presidential Candidates of
United States , supposedly the leader of
the Modern Western Civilization . One is a buffoon , who stick to scripted
tagline , Make America Great Again, with no proper policy or planning . He
projects himself as a strongman but even after all his rhetoric about building walls , throwing out illegal
migrants and banning Muslims, he comes across more as a comedian than a strongman.
But that’s it . I don’t think he wicked , or the force of evil the media projects him to be. He is just beating the
drums of populism which his voters wants to hear and in case he becomes the
president he will toe the normal diplomatic
line which most privileged class people do when in power . One thing which always amuses
me about the media reaction to his rhetoric about sending back Illegal Migrants
. Isn’t it a normal law of land of any country to deport anyone “Illegal” .
Migrants should come for sure , and I am
a migrant worker myself , but if they qualify and are coming to fulfill
the skill deficit in any country. But
when you are coming illegally , breaking
the rule of the land , you come with the
risk of being deported and there should
not be any debate on that . Same for the refugees in Europe . But that I will
talk about in more details in another article about War , Refugees , terrorism religion
and also Main stream media .
But hear me , the other candidate . Ms. Hillary Clinton who
the media is projecting as the champion flagbearer of everything liberal and progressive , is a conniving , wicked War Hawk who
is much more dangerous to the world than an idiot like Trump . Because
when she says and do something , it has
to be taken seriously . She has made a mess in Gulf as a secretary of State and world has become much more dangerous in last four
years for common citizens than it has ever been since World Wars . Throwing out Regimes or trying to throw out regimes without any care
in the world about the aftermath , the chaos , the violence , the humanitarian
crisis has been her Hallmark . Calling out for democracy , while supporting Dictatorial , oppressive Regimes elsewhere has been the standard US
foreign policy of which she is the key player . She and the current US President is more than responsible for the chain of events that has led to the
current situation . If one doesn’t realize , Arming terrorist groups and
Bringing Syria to civil War and chaos in Iraq ultimately lead to the
rise of ISIS , the brutal killing of
thousands of civilians , The Humanitarian Crisis, the Refugee influx in Europe
, the rise of Right wing Parties across Europe resisting the influx , Brexit ,
Killings and growing terrorism in Europe , Rise of Trump and militant Right
wing and Racism in US as well as Europe
, Libyan War , Yemen War , Oil Crisis due to empowering Saudi Lead GCC to control the output to weaken Iran and Russian
, Financial Crisis by letting banks and major Corporate Giants rule the
roost and when exposed , letting
them off the hook by paying petty penalties .
How can she act against them when she has taken millions of dollars of
donations from these same corporates both
for campaign and for Clinton foundation. And yes , if you are still
feeling proud of she being a woman , ask India . Just being a woman dint
make Sonia Gandhi , a great political or
Indira Gandhi a great Prime Minister. Their rule as a head of the oldest
political party in India , and as Prime minister respectively were marred by Corruption , Dynasty Politics , and total disregard for the rule
of the land . . And this brings me to
the last and now “lost” opportunity America had to change things.
Bernie Sanders ran a
campaign on core progressive values of Transparency , Electoral reforms ,
reducing the influence of Corporate in
policy making , gender Equality , Environmental issues ( calling for a stop to
fracking ) , reducing military Industrial
complex , against large scale free trade agreements like TPP , reviewing pro war American Foreign Policy , and essentially
working for the poor and middle class ,against crony Capitalism and for the 99 percent and not the one percent . He
championed electoral reforms in Democratic party and collected millions for
his campaign from common US citizens
with 25 $ donations , rather than generating donations of $25000 or more from Fund raisers like Hillary dinner
dates with corporates. Yes many people call it socialism or leftist ideology ,
but I call it progressive . He ran a wonderful , clean campaign focusing on
real issues than personal attacks and propaganda politics. Had it not been for the blatant corruption of DNC as
exposed by Wikileaks , who knows It
would have been Bernie accepting
the presidential Nomination . And Bernie
would have been a straight winner against Trump , as he has a
squeaky clean image and doesn’t have any skeletons to hide in the
closet unlike Hillary . So sadly my dear fellow Americans , you lost the historic opportunity to change the course of the
American and Worlds history for
the better , but alas you blew it , and it’s only going to be much worse from hereon . And when it happen , I will gloat and say “ I told you so “ .
P.S : I am an Indian
,working in Middle east but has traveled a lot
. I have always been interested
in World Politics , both contemporary
and Historical . I am single , so
have a lot of free time :)
