Protecting the Saudis

Here is an interesting article on Saudi Arabia in the New York Daily News: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/lupica-obama-stand-saudi-arabia-article-1.2604801

A Right-Left Populist Coalition?

There are unprecedented ruminations and rumblings in America during this Year of the People: http://www.breitbart.com/2016-presidential-race/2016/04/16/exclusive-leading-progressive-activist-considers-potential-emergence-third-party-right-left-populist-coalition-dustin-stocktonexclusive-leading-progressive-activist-consider/

Again, I have written about this for the ABC's Drum twice: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-02-11/mccann-american-voters-have-gone-rogue/7158840 and http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-03-18/mccann-who-is-to-blame-for-donald-trump/7256858

Saudi Arabia is an ally in the War of Freedom (but on which side?)

President Obama, like his predecessor, protects the Wahhabis: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/16/world/middleeast/saudi-arabia-warns-ofeconomic-fallout-if-congress-passes-9-11-bill.html?action=click&contentCollection=Opinion&module=Trending&version=Full&region=Marginalia&pgtype=article

In the Year of the People - Berdon Trumpders

Berdon Trumpders 

In the Year of the People only two politicians have really "got it". Read how Donald Trump plays the GOP Colorado debacle to his advantage: http://www.wsj.com/articles/let-me-ask-america-a-question-1460675882

Meanwhile, see how Bernie Sanders outplays Hilary Clinton: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-elections/hillary-clinton-may-win-new-york-votes-but-not-new-york-hearts-a6981261.html

How not to defeat Donald Trump #3

Former Weather Underground "activist" Phil Ayers playing to the camera at 11 March 2016 anti-Trump rally in Chicago


When the lunar-left come out against Donald Trump that is a win for the Trump Campaign. It happened in Chicago and then again in Arizona, and now of course in New York. If you disagree with the notion that Phil Ayers belongs to the lunar-left you might read this: https://quadrant.org.au/magazine/2013/07-08/the-terrorist-delusions-of-robert-redford/ 

How not to defeat Donald Trump #2

The GOP fiasco in Colorado is just another reason why members of the anti-Trump brigade are actually helping Donald Trump's campaign. Here is one American blogger - who has had pro-Cruz sympathies as far as I can tell - venting his spleen: https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2016/04/10/the-republican-party-of-colorado-sends-america-a-message/


America, as I have written elsewhere, is experiencing a populist revolution. To appear - in any way - anti-people in the Year of the People seems like a case of political suicide.
