You have done a great job pointing out ...Professor<br /><br />You have done a great job pointing out Trump's downside.<br />I want to say a few words about his campaign message, not necessarily the reality of his presidency, on the upside.<br /><br />He claims to stand against liberal bi partisan status quo economic and political globalization.<br /><br />That, in my judgment, is a great message. It would take too long here to explain why that should now be. Readers would have to review my blog to see some further elaboration of that explanation.<br /><br />All the bestBozonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18078858723231122013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8746692.post-85992278327033288272016-07-29T09:43:23.405-04:002016-07-29T09:43:23.405-04:00"The reading public, which had memories of on..."The reading public, which had memories of one of the great heroic ages of western civilization (1933-45), had a taste for serious subjects."<br /><br />Well, at least there will be another period of introspection, after another period of heroic struggle that will be upon us very soon. Even if "radically reorganizing our governing and economic systems" doesn't sound quite as heroic as the last was.

Also the facts of how hewasa able to develop as a businessman and ublic figure by exploiting ciurrent cuultural weaknesses and by having no morals to a certain extent(truth, nonpayment) . I worked in a small company and this mind set of slimy opportunist, nice to daily subordinates, is a well known quantity(normal boomer business type, also in Europe). One pushes the envelope till it bursts. However the comparison to hitler is opportunistic and ideological, party based. Hitler's mein kampf made clear where he was coming from, what he planned. Trump wants to pull America back into its own borders to a great extent, take care of the population, not the corporations, banks running amok on global domination financially, militarily. This party program seems positive. Clinton is supporting usa exceptionalism, military, dollar hegemony of a country with 5% of global population, long past its zenith. Nuland as sec of state would behell bent on ww3 with russia and china. Hitler writ large given modern weaponry. Putin loved Berlusconi, a Trump looka like if evr thre was one. He was no Mussolini. Putin acts in self defense. Your lack of rational criticism of USA coups in latin america, iran, color revolutions under both parties and nato expansion, open support of Ukrainian nazis(this is in no sense of the word a hyperbole) is the blind spot called 'my country right or wrong'. Who is your country but a cabal of billionaires and their lackeys, who have no choice, as under hitler. USA is a managed democracy. Putin learned this technique, also from berlusconi, well. Clinton did not come fairly or legally to the nomination. I expect impeachment proceedings if elected. The establishment, right and left are interchangeable. So Trump or bernie are popular. Revolution is in the air because people refuse to speak the truth. Ike warned of military industrial state he saw created to conquer the world. It is still looking for an excuse for its exitence, while it should be in Douglas Mccarthur's words 'fading away'. Another good blog entry for you would be statistical techniques since 1960 to inflate growth, reduce unemployment for govt. propaganda control a la Orwell. This tied into vietnam war probably, if not earlier. The rich took away jobs to china, mexico, left middle class on cheap debt, allowed mass illegal immigration- only racists would criticize this-does china, japan, korea allow open border policy? Ae they racists? Why is exploiting own population for short term profits en masse morally better than Trump's success in micro business environment. It is identical, slimy, amoral opportunism which pushes the envelope till it bursts, i.e. revolution ww3. We have to this point and ironically just such a slimer is the only one who can beat TPTB at their own game. Irony of history. Julius Caesar was just such a person, in just such times, slimy lft wing propaandist from a rich family. Et tu Brute?Energyflowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14476915209268786507noreply@blogger.com
