Nancy? Was she the puppet master?

The more I learn about politics, the more depressing it gets. It's like one of those historical drama where the Emperor doesn't hold any real power; forced to do ceremonial fluffs and cries himself to sleep at night.

Like China's Romance of the Three Kingdoms where the last few Han Emperors were puppets while a Prime Minister pull all the strings.

Now instead of a military or a dictatorial coup, it's what John Ralston Saul call the "corporate coup d'état".

Maybe too much conspiracy theory.

Clinton promises to spend on major infrastructure. maybe an opportunity for Transurban, though frankly I am always terrified when Aussie companies do stuff in the US. they are always getting sued or conned.

US engineering society rated the country's infrastructure a D, I think. So yea, it's about time they start on rebuilding a whole bunch of roads, rail and bridges. And it looks like privatization is also their ways too. So maybe Transurban won't be so screwed this time

Biotech and Pharmacy would have a bright future though. CSL is looking interesting.
 

The US was built on the European wealthy moving money over during WW1, arms supply during both WW1 and WW2 and then the Lend Lease repayments rip off after WW2. The golden era was the fifties when they were swamped with cash and brain drains into it, but it's been going down ever since while the traditional Euro powerhouses have gradually regained traction.
 

Guess where the Europeans get the resources to repay for Lend Lease? Africa and the colonies

According to Chomsky, that's what US planners literally did a couple years before WW2 ended - how to reshape the world and what are the duties and function of each region.

So Saudi Arabia and all its oil needs to be protected by the US. Britain can have a few percent in other Kingdoms - as commissions for the handover. Can't be too greedy.

Then Africa and its colonies are to be returned to their previous masters in Europe where they can "exploit" its natural and human resources to rebuild and repay Uncle Sam for his generosity.

French Indo-China put up a fight when the French returns and we can't have that kind of contagion - so all hell were broke loose on that little corner of the world. Almost completely destroying it as examples to other would-be terrorists and radicals. Seriously, Kissinger actually said this.

And it work for a couple of decades. You do not want VN to happen to you man. Then the collapse of the other competitor and huh rah for freedom and democracy.

But all is not well in the Kingdom over the past couple of decades.

First terrorists are rising up all over the ME. The banks and corporations are destroying jobs and wrecking domestic economies at home. The gov't have to bail them out but aren't collecting enough taxes in return for the trouble.

And there are only so many wars and so many prisons you can put those excess and redundant human capacity... so those that aren't locked up or forced into desperate economic situation that they'd join the armed forces for a chance to advance themselves and pay the bills... those that aren't locked up are protesting ("rioting") and we got a bit of a problem.

On top, there's the rise of European independence, again... then the BRIC and alternatives to the IMF, World Bank.

What to do? Invest in smarter nuclear weapons, further beggaring your population, let your multinationals roam free and starting a couple more wars.

And all these before a Trump has any chance to bankrupt it like he bankrupted his casinos.
 
Have you been Trumped yet ?

Have a look and see how Donald Trump treats people who get in his way. ? Not to mention threatening to sue the pants off anyone who repeats what has been said in the documentary.

That's bad. But not as bad as signing off "kill list" once a week to drone anyone suspected of maybe one day going to harm US interest though.

Recent tape caught Hillary regretting letting the Palestinian votes. She should've been stronger and not allow them to vote. But if they were to vote, "we" ought to make sure "we" control the outcome.

And just in case we think that only applies to foreign basket cases, she brought it home to the US and rigged the primaries against Sanders.

Recent WikiLeak showed that as early as Feb 2015, the DNC's chairwoman and Clinton's aide were scheming on how the DNC ought to meet other Democratic candidates to make it appear like Clinton's nomination isn't in the bag already.

Again, I'm not for Trump. But Clinton is no better really.

With Trump, because he's so incompetent he can't hide the ugliness... that is good for Democracy. It will get people rile up and start demanding an end to current trajectory.

With Clinton, like with Obama... deportation, global terrorism campaign, endless wars, the I believe in CC but ain't going to anything about it, the slow privatisation of pensions and gutting of welfare. etc. etc. All these are signed off by Bill Clinton and Obama, and people they are so smooth, the population just can't believe it's happening, until it has been done and dusted.
 
Regardless of who gets in they will not last their first term.

Trump/Kennedy anyone,

Clinton prosecution

I disagree. they will make it through. no second term though. Trumps the one with the underage girl court case that we are not allowed to talk about. Should be interesting. Clinton won't be prosecuted (any more than the high level of court cases (about 13 a year) the Republicans sheet against her every year...and they have lost every one. )but I can't see her getting a second term (a) too old guard, (2) too old, (3) no one likes her much.

Are those people running for President of the USA ? Didn't think so.

I struggle to see any redeeming features in Trump. A nasty, lying, bully with only abuse and fear as his main political weapons.

And yet he is within sight of becoming President and an absolute certainty to obstruct the entire American political system if he doesn't get in.
 

On that, and similar bases, I'm wondering why you don't hate Hills as much, or more?

Because even though I think Hilary would not be my first choice as Prez, Trump is obviously, clearly, indisputably, a totally disastrous choice.

But these are just the facts of the situation. They clearly have little weight in a post truth society do they Wayne ?
 

I suggest your interpretation of facts is severely skewed by your far left ideology.

I cant see Hills being any less disasterous.

Hmmm.. Well I have no fixed political ideology [like you I gather] but Trump strikes me as a bigot, egotist and as a person who is blatantly dangerous to the globe.

"Hills" is not OK - but less "disastrous".

What do you think is my fixed political ideology?

Hint 1. I have stated it often enough

Hint 2. I am not a conservative

Hmmmm??
