Notes on Trump : Comments

By Arthur Dent, published 23/1/2017

So the result in two years could be that the US has shifted from a two party system in which both parties support globalism to a two party system in which both parties oppose globalism.

The Trump regime is in line to strike three body blows of world shaking significance. Two are a long overdue breath of fresh air and the third is a brutal attack on human rights stemming from Trump's ingrained personality defect.

The first is an end to the Cold War against Russia with its risk of nuclear holocaust.

The second is an end to the international slave trade, labelled "free trade". The slave trade works this way. Slave traders in civilised countries like America (and Australia) with strong unions and decent social standards engineer trade deals with debased countries in Asia and Latin America whose cheap, cowed labour produces goods at cut rates. These goods flood the markets tariff-free in civilised countries leading to export of jobs to the slave owners and undermining of decent standards in the purchasing countries. It's why so many Americans and Australians have no future and why in America they elected Trump.

The third - a disgrace which could bring about an early end to the Trump experiment - is the massive attack on the sovereignty of women over their own bodies - the most basic of all human rights.

To be continued

(continued - what to do about it)

Promote the rapprochement with Russia and challenge the self-promoting intelligence industry with reminders about how it (and the neoCon pollies) lied blatantly about Iraqi WMDs and were taken up by the war criminals Blair, Bush and Howard to call for the illegal invasion of Iraq. Warn that the same lying intelligence industry and its tame pollies are now saying the Russians sabotaged the US election (presumably by opening the dirty secrets of the Clinton campaign to public scrutiny).

Oppose free trade and call for exploitation-indexed tariffs on imports to cancel the price advantage of labour slavery in the debased countries. Funds collected as tariffs could be remitted as bonuses to the slaves who produced the goods. Oh, and don't be fazed by labels of protectionism as if it's a swear word. It's protection of hard-won gains from those whose who tell workers they have to be internationally competitive for cheapness with slaves.

Oppose all attacks on the sovereignty of women over their own bodies as attacks on human rights- a crusade deserving the support of both men and women.

Foxy, go to tinyurl.com and copy the icon link there to your task bar
then when you have a page that you want to tell others about you just
click on the tinyurl icon and it takes you the tinyurl page and shows
the Tinyurl for that web page you want to send on. You copy it and
paste it into your post.
It does save a lot of hassle.
Cheers

It seems that many have still not understood what happened in the US election.
I am not upset or pleased by the result, just interested to watch the fun.
This article by Daniel Greenfield may answer a few questions.

Well, when only 40% or so of eligible voters bother to get out and vote? What right do they have to resent the outcome or believe that the election was stolen?

Simply put, if they'd taken the time, even if that meant voting early, as opposed to often? They could have elected the most popular by far, candidate Bernie?

Moreover, the same thing goes for the Britex referendum! If you didn't bother voting? Tough titties, wear it and all that flows from that!
