Far Right Conservatism Isn’t About Replacing Anything: It’s about Destroying What Exists
Conservatives aren’t interested in building democratic institutions, –they’re interested in eliminating them.

Trump’s Asinine Assertions Will Have Negative Consequences
There is barely a moment goes by anymore that Herr Trump isn’t threatening someone. His “Golden Age” for America will end up with America being isolated geopolitically, seeing what could have been growth and stability turned into a significant loss of international influence, with many former friends and allies seeking new markets, developing preferential trade…

Unwittingly Ignorant

by
The Presidential election in America this month, was to me, incomprehensible. How is it that a majority of Americans, including many minorities, blacks and hispanics, voted for a man who is publicly, knowingly, a racist. They are voting for a man who uses immigrants, minorities, especially latinos and blacks, as political scapegoats in order to…

A Public Service Message for the Alienated
When did we lose our perspective? I am but an observer to the protagonists and antagonists of this expose, as I do not reside in the United States.

A future not only filled with uncertainty, but one without stability or predictability. Not since 1861 has America been so divided. Slavery was the issue…

The Lunacy of the Commons
Project 25 – A Blueprint for Autocracy Most of us who vote in western democracies, I hope, do so on the basis of information as knowledge. But what I’m discovering, is that Republicans, by and large, do not. Most cannot identify the principle aims of Project 25, the far-right ‘playbook’ for the deconstruction of democratic…

How Will Your World Change If Trump Wins?
This question begs for an answer. In the past, when a dictator takes power, there is a brief respite prior to enacting mandates and edicts. There usually is a period of dismantlement, which in the case of the United States, began during trump’s first Presidency. The Supreme Court was the first victims of trump’s dismantlement…

The End of Hegemony – America Retracts
Donald Trump has signalled that the United States will leave NATO once elected. If he succeeds in this Presidential bid, America will indeed leave NATO, and NATO will functionally cease to exist. The infrastructure necessary extends far beyond simple manpower. Manpower in Europe is sufficient to withstand the demands of a mainland war with Russia,…
