This year US presidential election is perhaps the most expensive in history with the
least issues concerning America and Americans with the American/Israeli Jewish
businessman Sheldon Edelson calling the shots and shaping the election.
2% of the US population, 60% of political donations and with “Israel First” as the
only agenda, no wonder both candidates are tripping over themselves and each
other in winning the votes and donations of the American Jewish community. In this
US presidential election, America and Americans is the loser and Israel is the winner
and its Fifth Column reign supreme.
Mitt Romney, not so smart and savvy international statesman (even if spent few
years in Paris rather than choosing to serve his country) went to Israel to pay
homage and present his political allegiance to Israel and its Fifth Column in the US,
encourage Israel and commit the US to another war, this time against Iran.
After all Romney made his money not through products and services to consumers
but by raiding ongoing business, looting the treasury and shareholders of such
corporations, thanks to a willing Wall Street that provides the financing for such
corporate raiders. Romney continues to think of himself as savvy and smart
businessman, when he contributed nothing to the national good.
Keep in mind Barrack Obama did the same thing as US presidential candidate when
he traveled to Israeli visiting the Wailing Wall and inserting his wish to Yahweh,
visiting Vad Yashim and Siedrot the Israeli border town the focus of last presidential
election.
With the way things going on, the US is the last country to teach the world especially
the Middle East about free elections and democracy. American democracy is all
about money, pressure and special interests groups.
In the US every thing is all about money, money is the driving force behind political
and hot contested social issues, with lobbies and political pressure groups as
AIPAC, Tea Party, NRA, and anti-abortion forming and shaping the debate and
making decision in a country facing major and catastrophic failing economy, corrupt
financial institutions, corrupt Congress and failing infrastructures with tens of
millions below poverty lines.
As a former financial contributor to “Democratic” causes in the past I am bombarded
every day with at least 5 to 7 email messages from “Democratic” operatives and
personalities from Barrack Obama, Joe Biden, Albert Gore, Dana Brazil, Nancy Pelosi
all seeking and asking for donation to meet a much better financed Republican
candidate. Romney raised more than $100 millions this past month. This year I
decided I would not support nor donate any money to Democratic candidates.
It seems Democratic candidates are simply throwing the towels and call it quit. It
seems the label “ Liberal” is the cause of political death in Washington and in Main
Street. No one within the Democratic Party has what it takes to defend “liberal
causes” taking on the Tea Party and AIPAC and the NRA heads on and taking charge
of the political debate.
Over the last decades since the late Ronald Reagan decided to ally himself
and the Republican Party with the Religious Right there has been a political
coup that is taking place in America. Thanks to the US Supreme Court which
deemed “corporation” citizens with First Amendment rights with the right to
unlimited financial contributions to political causes and candidates.
The death of the American democracy and the death of the two party system and
political pluralism is upon us and if we do nothing then America as we knew it will
disappear forever. Don’t be surprised if America becomes a One Party state just like
the former Soviet Union with a god.
No candidates is giving issues facing the nation real concern, with consistent
high unemployment, lack of new industries with no new additional jobs, with
infrastructure that is failing and falling apart. No one is talking about corporations
cheating citizens and governments out of tens of billions in overpriced and over
rated drugs.
No one is talking about bank executives responsible for the loss of hundreds of
billions of shareholders in subprime lending saved by tax dollars intended to save
taxpayers instead saving executives who should have been fired and in jail. No one
is talking about corporate and Wall Street corruption, insider trading, conspiracy to
cheat government out of tax dollars, and unsupervised trading causing losses in tens
of billions.
Of course issues of jobs, quality of life, poverty, quality and affordable education,
housing, transportation, community, urban and rural services are not an issue in US
elections. The issues has every thing to do with “moral and value” issues dictated
by well funded and well armed militia of Tea Party, using money to drive votes.
Don’t be surprised if such groups resort to guns and bombing to take over America,
shaping America in its own vision.
America should expect a “Christian Jihadists’ funded by rich and powerful right wing
personalities who with their money shaping America future for years to come. The
Tea Party and AIPAC and their allies within the Evangelical Christian and Jewish
groups don’t be surprise if its ambitions goes from votes and control over Congress,
to a military and political coupe in the US since Defense and Security establishments
are already driven by Evangelical “Jihadists” ideology.
