theduran--2020-11-19--Trump vs Biden: Will the Future Belong to the Patriots or the Globalists?

It is an undeniable fact that the republic has entered one of the most dangerous crises of its short existence .
This is not only due to the disputed election results of November 3rd , but also to a multitude of other factors beyond American borders , including the global financial crisis which a certain pandemic has unleashed upon the world , and slide towards a major world war between great powers that has accelerated chaotically in recent years .
As unpopular as it might be to state in polite society , as of this writing it is still impossible @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Joe Biden will in fact be inaugurated on January 20 , 2021 .
The simple reason for this is that verifiable evidence of vast partisan vote fraud tied to the highest echelons of British Intelligence have mount with every passing day with Dominion voting systems most recently accused of erasing 2.7 million Trump votes across the nation , and giving 220 000 pro-Trump votes given to Biden in Pennsylvania ( along with hundreds of other vote counting anomalies and technology glitches across all major swing states ) .
These and other major signs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to reasonable questions of the validity of the official results which will be taken to the courts as Gen. Michael Flynn ’ s Attorney Sidney Powell eloquently laid out recently .
By now most people reading this are aware ( or should be aware ) that the trans Atlantic financial system has been set to melt down under a $ 1.5 quadrillion derivatives time bomb being held together by a mix of wishful thinking , hyperinflationary money printing and vast unpayable securitized debts waiting to default .
It should also come as no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to coordinate the “ post-COVID world order ” has nothing to do with any actual pandemic , and everything to do with imposing a new bankers ’ dictatorship onto the nations of the earth .
If you are uncertain about these claims , I invite you to read my recent study “ What the Great Reset Architects Don ’ t Want you to Know About Economics ” .
Both Trump and Biden profess to support American leadership to the world going into this storm , but both men operate on very much opposing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what foreign policy tradition should be activated .
Where Biden has championed the idea that “ America should lead the world ” in opposition to the dangerous rise in “ authoritarianism , nationalism and illiberalism ” giving the reigns of foreign policy over to a team packed with hawkish representatives of the Military Industrial Complex , Trump has done something different .
On November 9 the incumbent president fired Mark Esper ( possibly to subvert a planned coup ) and instated General Christopher Miller to the position of Defense Secretary who has called @ @ @ @ @ @ @ year Afghan war stating : “ we are not a people of perpetual war .
It is the antithesis of everything for which we stand and for which our ancestors fought .
All wars must end.
” Having vocalized his desires to return the USA to its traditional protectionist , non-interventionist agenda repeatedly over four years , Trump famously characterized the battle at hand as one of “ patriots against the globalists.
” And yet , despite these facts , many apparently intelligent people have celebrated that the “ bad orange man ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ once again occur .
In an April 2020 Foreign Policy article , Joe Biden called for the re-assertion of American leadership of the world order stating that “ for over 70 years , the United States under democratic and republican presidents , played a leading role in writing the rules ” of the world order .
Predicting the two possible scenarios that will befall the world should the USA continue to “ abdicate our leadership ” as Trump has done , Biden says that either : 1 ) Someone else takes America ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t “ advance our interests and values or 2 ) “ No one will and chaos will ensue ” .
Shouldn ’ t there be a third option in Biden ’ s crystal ball ?
What about the option of a world defined by sovereign nations working in win-win cooperation and mutual self interest ?
Sadly , from a zero-sum mind that can only think in “ balance of power ” terms , this third scenario can not exist .
The paradox for such little minds , however is that the very @ @ @ @ @ @ @ WWII in a leading position that Biden praises is entirely premised on the understanding that the world is more than a zero sum system .
The Forgotten Multi-Polar Traditions of the USA From the drafting of the UN Charter in 1941 , the formulation of the Bretton Woods system in 1944 , to the UN Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 , there is no doubt that there is very little that America has not directly influenced .
While this leadership is undeniable and often objectively destructive as sin , it is too @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as outlined by Franklin Roosevelt was premised on the belief that America must never become an empire but merely help those in need by providing the means of industrial development .
This was essentially understood as the internationalization of the New Deal which included social safety nets , bank regulation , productive work guarantees and infrastructure projects to all other nations aspiring independence across Africa , Asia and the Americas or struggling the heal from the destructive effects of the war .
FDR ’ s vision for the IMF/World Bank mandates were never @ @ @ @ @ @ @ system of debt slavery and conditionalities , but to extend productive credit for long term megaprojects that were in the common aims of mankind and which angered Churchill immensely .
Most importantly , this vision was premised on the need for a trust-based U.S.-Russia-China alliance that never would have permitted the emergence of a bipolar Cold War .
Working alongside such anti-imperial co-thinkers as Republican leader Wendell Willkie , Vice President Henry Wallace , economist Harry Dexter White , confidante Harry Hopkins , Asst .
Secretary of State Sumner Welles and Attorney General @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) , this small but powerful group of patriots representing both parties , worked vigorously to ensure not only that the Wall Street/City of London Frankenstein Monster of Nazism would be put down but that Churchill ’ s vision of a restored British Imperial system would not succeed .
The True Spirit of the United Nations Unlike the earlier “ League of Nations ” which intended to destroy all national sovereignty in the wake of WWI , the United Nations was always meant to become a platform for dialogue , and economic multilateral @ @ @ @ @ @ @ multipolar alliance now sweeping the world ( and scaring the hell out of the thing that controls Joe Biden ) .
If this is hard to believe , let me cite article one : “ To maintain international peace and security , and to that end : to take effective collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace , and for the suppression of acts of aggression or other breaches of the peace , and to bring about by peaceful means , and in conformity with the principles of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ settlement of international disputes or situations which might lead to a breach of the peace To develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples , and to take other appropriate measures to strengthen universal peace ; To achieve international co-operation in solving international problems of an economic , social , cultural , or humanitarian character , and in promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race , sex , language , or religion @ @ @ @ @ @ @ harmonizing the actions of nations in the attainment of these common ends.
” These principles were expanded even further to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on December 10 , 1948 which re-iterated the founding principles of America ’ s Declaration of Independence- extending those unalienable rights to all mankind as FDR envisioned stating in its preamble : “ Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom , justice and peace in the world , “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind , and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people , “ Whereas it is essential , if man is not to be compelled to have recourse , as a last resort , to rebellion against tyranny and oppression , that human rights should be protected by the rule of law , “ Whereas it is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ relations between nations , “ Whereas the peoples of the United Nations have in the Charter reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights , in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the equal rights of men and women and have determined to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom , “ Whereas Member States have pledged themselves to achieve , in co-operation with the United Nations , the promotion of universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms , “ Whereas a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is of the greatest importance for the full realization of this pledge , “ Now , Therefore THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY proclaims THIS UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations , to the end that every individual and every organ of society , keeping this Declaration constantly in mind , shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for these rights and freedoms and by progressive measures , national and international , to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance , both @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and among the peoples of territories under their jurisdiction.
” These were the ideas that were meant to give life to the “ Four Freedoms ” first enunciated by President Roosvelt in 1941 and re-asserted by his anti-imperial Vice President Henry Wallace in 1942 .
Now admittedly this positive American foreign policy outlook which launched the post-war age is a far cry from anything the world has come to recognize in the USA since the emergence of the Cold War… and especially since the murder of John F Kennedy who had done much @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by this newly revised British Empire ( which some have chosen in recent years to label “ the deep state ” ) .
Much like the U.S. Constitution itself , these principles largely remained ink on parchment as a new age of Cold Warriors , Rhodes Scholars and Fabians directed from British Intelligence created NATO , divided the world among the lighter skinned haves and darker skinned have nots while unleashing a system of endless wars onto the earth under a new Pax Americana .
These are the forces like Lord Mark Malloch @ @ @ @ @ @ @ poured billions of dollars into promoting the post-nation state order using anti-UN Charter doctrines like Responsibility to Protect ( R2P ) , overthrowing governments with color revolutions and running a current coup against President Trump .
Today a small window is still open for a renewal of the forgotten traditions of the American republican traditions that were upheld by such leaders as John Quincy Adams , Lincoln , Grant , Garfield , McKinley , Harding , FDR and JFK .
President Trump has clearly taken a stand in opposition to the reconquest of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it remains to be seen if the American people have the fortitude to do everything in their power to organize themselves in defense of the republic and civilization more generally .

These and other major signs of mass vote fraud have giving rise to reasonable questions of the validity of the official results which will be taken to the courts as Gen. Michael Flynn’s Attorney Sidney Powell eloquently laid out recently.
Trump, Biden and the Oncoming Meltdown
By now most people reading this are aware (or should be aware) that the trans Atlantic financial system has been set to melt down under a $1.5 quadrillion derivatives time bomb being held together by a mix of wishful thinking, hyperinflationary money printing and vast unpayable securitized debts waiting to default. It should also come as no surprise that the Great Reset Agenda designed to coordinate the “post-COVID world order” has nothing to do with any actual pandemic, and everything to do with imposing a new bankers’ dictatorship onto the nations of the earth. If you are uncertain about these claims, I invite you to read my recent study “What the Great Reset Architects Don’t Want you to Know About Economics”.
Both Trump and Biden profess to support American leadership to the world going into this storm, but both men operate on very much opposing paradigms of what this means, and what foreign policy tradition should be activated.
Where Biden has championed the idea that “America should lead the world” in opposition to the dangerous rise in “authoritarianism, nationalism and illiberalism” giving the reigns of foreign policy over to a team packed with hawkish representatives of the Military Industrial Complex, Trump has done something different.
On November 9 the incumbent president fired Mark Esper (possibly to subvert a planned coup) and instated General Christopher Miller to the position of Defense Secretary who has called for a total end to the 19 year Afghan war stating: “we are not a people of perpetual war. It is the antithesis of everything for which we stand and for which our ancestors fought. All wars must end.”
Having vocalized his desires to return the USA to its traditional protectionist, non-interventionist agenda repeatedly over four years, Trump famously characterized the battle at hand as one of “patriots against the globalists.”
And yet, despite these facts, many apparently intelligent people have celebrated that the “bad orange man” has finally been ousted and normality may once again occur.
Hogwash.
In an April 2020 Foreign Policy article, Joe Biden called for the re-assertion of American leadership of the world order stating that “for over 70 years, the United States under democratic and republican presidents, played a leading role in writing the rules” of the world order. Predicting the two possible scenarios that will befall the world should the USA continue to “abdicate our leadership” as Trump has done, Biden says that either: 1) Someone else takes America’s place as global hegemon that doesn’t “advance our interests and values or 2) “No one will and chaos will ensue”.
But wait a minute!
Shouldn’t there be a third option in Biden’s crystal ball? What about the option of a world defined by sovereign nations working in win-win cooperation and mutual self interest? Sadly, from a zero-sum mind that can only think in “balance of power” terms, this third scenario cannot exist.
The paradox for such little minds, however is that the very essence of America’s emerging from WWII in a leading position that Biden praises is entirely premised on the understanding that the world is more than a zero sum system.
The Forgotten Multi-Polar Traditions of the USA
From the drafting of the UN Charter in 1941, the formulation of the Bretton Woods system in 1944, to the UN Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, there is no doubt that there is very little that America has not directly influenced.
While this leadership is undeniable and often objectively destructive as sin, it is too easily forgotten that the UN Charter, as outlined by Franklin Roosevelt was premised on the belief that America must never become an empire but merely help those in need by providing the means of industrial development. This was essentially understood as the internationalization of the New Deal which included social safety nets, bank regulation, productive work guarantees and infrastructure projects to all other nations aspiring independence across Africa, Asia and the Americas or struggling the heal from the destructive effects of the war.
FDR’s vision for the IMF/World Bank mandates were never to reconquer poor nations under a new system of debt slavery and conditionalities, but to extend productive credit for long term megaprojects that were in the common aims of mankind and which angered Churchill immensely.
Most importantly, this vision was premised on the need for a trust-based U.S.-Russia-China alliance that never would have permitted the emergence of a bipolar Cold War.
Working alongside such anti-imperial co-thinkers as Republican leader Wendell Willkie, Vice President Henry Wallace, economist Harry Dexter White, confidante Harry Hopkins, Asst. Secretary of State Sumner Welles and Attorney General Robert Jackson (to name a few), this small but powerful group of patriots representing both parties, worked vigorously to ensure not only that the Wall Street/City of London Frankenstein Monster of Nazism would be put down but that Churchill’s vision of a restored British Imperial system would not succeed.
The True Spirit of the United Nations
Unlike the earlier “League of Nations” which intended to destroy all national sovereignty in the wake of WWI, the United Nations was always meant to become a platform for dialogue, and economic multilateral trust-building much more in harmony with the multipolar alliance now sweeping the world (and scaring the hell out of the thing that controls Joe Biden).
If this is hard to believe, let me cite article one:
“To maintain international peace and security, and to that end: to take effective collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace, and for the suppression of acts of aggression or other breaches of the peace, and to bring about by peaceful means, and in conformity with the principles of justice and international law, adjustment or settlement of international disputes or situations which might lead to a breach of the peace
To develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples, and to take other appropriate measures to strengthen universal peace;
To achieve international co-operation in solving international problems of an economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian character, and in promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion; and
To be a centre for harmonizing the actions of nations in the attainment of these common ends.”
These principles were expanded even further to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on December 10, 1948 which re-iterated the founding principles of America’s Declaration of Independence- extending those unalienable rights to all mankind as FDR envisioned stating in its preamble:
“Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,
“Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people,
“Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law,
“Whereas it is essential to promote the development of friendly relations between nations,
“Whereas the peoples of the United Nations have in the Charter reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the equal rights of men and women and have determined to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,
“Whereas Member States have pledged themselves to achieve, in co-operation with the United Nations, the promotion of universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms,
“Whereas a common understanding of these rights and freedoms is of the greatest importance for the full realization of this pledge,
“Now, Therefore THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY proclaims THIS UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations, to the end that every individual and every organ of society, keeping this Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for these rights and freedoms and by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance, both among the peoples of Member States themselves and among the peoples of territories under their jurisdiction.”
These were the ideas that were meant to give life to the “Four Freedoms” first enunciated by President Roosvelt in 1941 and re-asserted by his anti-imperial Vice President Henry Wallace in 1942.
Now admittedly this positive American foreign policy outlook which launched the post-war age is a far cry from anything the world has come to recognize in the USA since the emergence of the Cold War… and especially since the murder of John F Kennedy who had done much to resist America’s full takeover by this newly revised British Empire (which some have chosen in recent years to label “the deep state”).
Much like the U.S. Constitution itself, these principles largely remained ink on parchment as a new age of Cold Warriors, Rhodes Scholars and Fabians directed from British Intelligence created NATO, divided the world among the lighter skinned haves and darker skinned have nots while unleashing a system of endless wars onto the earth under a new Pax Americana.
These are the forces like Lord Mark Malloch Brown and George Soros who together have poured billions of dollars into promoting the post-nation state order using anti-UN Charter doctrines like Responsibility to Protect (R2P), overthrowing governments with color revolutions and running a current coup against President Trump.
Today a small window is still open for a renewal of the forgotten traditions of the American republican traditions that were upheld by such leaders as John Quincy Adams, Lincoln, Grant, Garfield, McKinley, Harding, FDR and JFK. President Trump has clearly taken a stand in opposition to the reconquest of the republic by the deep state and it remains to be seen if the American people have the fortitude to do everything in their power to organize themselves in defense of the republic and civilization more generally.

I gave a harsh and damning subheadline .
This is deliberate and pointed .
If it offends you , you really , really need to read this piece .
But my bet is you will not , but instead complain to the editors of The Duran that you are offended by how I called each of you a screaming baby .
It should be understood that this is not a comment made in hate .
In frustration , definitely yes , but also in a spirit of resignation .
As a parent of a baby , I know how it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wants , and forget any sort of sensibilities or logic .
That baby wants what it wants and unless it either gets that object of its desire or is suitably distracted , it screams and makes a huge show of its desire and passion .
That is normal , at least for a baby .
Babies do not know much of rules or the law , in fact for their very early lives , all laws and rules are truly bent to support them as they gain a foothold in this big , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ adult , the test of adulthood is often defined by how well a man or a woman can set aside his or her own wants and desires because the little one comes first .
The test of adulthood is also defined by an approach to life that highlights logic and reason over passion .
This does not mean that there is no place for passion , but rather , that the desire to get something done is channeled and focused through logic and reason .
A great example is Elon Musk , who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mars , and extremely innovative ways to develop his spacecraft .
Yet , those of us who watch his Starship prototypes in development already understand that there is an ordered sequence of events that we can reliably count on happening regardless of the vehicle on the test pad .

Dear Liberals and Biden Supporters:
I gave a harsh and damning subheadline. This is deliberate and pointed. If it offends you, you really, really need to read this piece. But my bet is you will not, but instead complain to the editors of The Duran that you are offended by how I called each of you a screaming baby.
It should be understood that this is not a comment made in hate. In frustration, definitely yes, but also in a spirit of resignation. As a parent of a baby, I know how it is when the baby wants what it wants, and forget any sort of sensibilities or logic. That baby wants what it wants and unless it either gets that object of its desire or is suitably distracted, it screams and makes a huge show of its desire and passion.
That is normal, at least for a baby. Babies do not know much of rules or the law, in fact for their very early lives, all laws and rules are truly bent to support them as they gain a foothold in this big, wide world. Indeed, for the adult, the test of adulthood is often defined by how well a man or a woman can set aside his or her own wants and desires because the little one comes first.
The test of adulthood is also defined by an approach to life that highlights logic and reason over passion. This does not mean that there is no place for passion, but rather, that the desire to get something done is channeled and focused through logic and reason. A great example is Elon Musk, who has a clear passion for getting to Mars, and extremely innovative ways to develop his spacecraft. Yet, those of us who watch his Starship prototypes in development already understand that there is an ordered sequence of events that we can reliably count on happening regardless of the vehicle on the test pad. While Mr. Musk has revolutionized the speed at which space vehicles are developed, he has done so logically, not on sheer impulse.
Babies do not have this approach. For them it is sheer impulse, and logic – not a thought of it. The results are self-evident:
But this, translated to adulthood, where twenty- and thirty- year old (plus!) babies have access to more instruments of mayhem, leads to this:
Grown men and women, mostly white, created these scenes and many more like them. Like babies, they did what they wanted. Unlike babies, their actions were with grown-up toys and because of their use of these, many more people are injured, dead, homeless, business-less – far more than the few so-called “martyrs” that were disrespectfully abused as “reasons for rioting” over the summer.
Now, it may well be that there are so many of these people in addition to a large group of voters that chose Joe Biden, “simply because” of several reasons: He is a Democrat and they would never vote for a Republican, by definition (which is stupid thinking), He is not Trump and they believed the news media narrative spun for four or five years now that says Donald Trump is a disrespectful orange man Nazi sympathizer, while never bothering to check this line against the reality, by perhaps listening to a Trump speech or presser – there are many on YouTube, very easy to access.
We have a contested election, but the odds are better than 50% that Biden will emerge from this the true President-elect (he is not, right now).
So, what happens then?
From what we are hearing, there is evidence that poor Sleepy Joe is about to be played as an “indulgent grandfather” and get taken advantage of by the far left in the USA. This piece printed on the wildly wavering Fox News website, starts off with the lede:
Congressman-elect Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., indicated on Thursday that President-elect Joe Biden owed Black and Brown people after they helped elect him. His comments came during a rally outside the Democratic National Committee in Washington, D.C., where speakers like Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., pushed for a Green New Deal. “Joe Biden has pledged a $2 trillion investment in environmental justice and 40% of that has been pledged to districts like mine across the country,” Bowman said.
Or this piece, also from Fox, as an update to the request from Black Lives Matter to “meet with” Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
These people, by the way, are the “babies-in-chief”, who together with AntiFA, are responsible for much of the destruction that took place over the last seven months.
The babies want to meet with Grandpa Joe to get the goodies they truly deserve for getting him in office.
Well, fine.
What happens if Biden does win?
With stories about a “Truth and Reconciliation Commission”, or calls to “define and punish” prominent (and probably by extension less prominent) Trump supporters, barring them from jobs and services, well, it would seem that the babies have just about got control of a nation that has heretofore had adults running it.
Sometimes parents who have a child that insists on not growing up, not taking responsibility for himself or herself, make a move in exasperation: they let the kid have his way. Completely.
The result is usually disastrous. Even the Bible notes this, with Proverbs 13:24’s, “He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.”
Imagine that: hating your kid is letting him run wild and do what he wants. What a concept!
However, in the decadence of highly developed nations, such children can run quite far and then get rewarded for wrongdoing or more likely, for doing nothing at all that is productive. The United States created a huge number of these people simply by virtue of gradually moving to socialize its manner of functioning. We called it compassion, but it was really enabling. And from it, we actually have a political class:
Bernie Sanders. Aleksandra Ocasio-Cortes, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi, and many, many others. Joe Biden himself, as a ne’er do well but in government for 47 years.
There are but a few names that got into politics but then add to them Jeff Zuckerberg, the New Amish Jack Dorsey, both of whom are CEOs of companies declining freedom of communication to those who politically disagree with them.
Take these folks and stick them in the jungle and they would all be dead in a week or two. Put each one of them by himself or herself and put them in the jungle and the time would be significantly less.
The only way they would survive would be to come to their senses and realize some hard home truths – that personal responsibility is the way to actually live, and that, lo and behold! Conservatives are people who already understand this. This is why Conservatives do not get violent on the streets when they do not get their way. They know that such behavior would be rewarded with arrest and jail time. So, they generally are lawful people.
Maybe the best way to get rid of the excess of liberal babies in the US is to go ahead and let them be in charge of things for a while. If the conservative elements used wisdom and discernment, they could find a way to allow these poor misbegotten souls to bring themselves to humility by letting them hurt themselves over and over until they learn.
The flaw of conservatives and Christians is that sometimes we mistake compassion for enabling. We would rather cede than stand sometimes. But anybody who has ever done this with small children knows that the little guys and girls, though not maliciously, will simply seize more and more power until they get in fights with each other, with the adults “in charge” and it all comes to tears.
These days we have eighty-year old babies and on down, so it may take a while for them to learn their lesson. It took the Russians seventy years to learn this lesson. No one knows how long it would take for the Americans to be brought to their senses, though I personally like to think “not nearly as long.” Americans used to be very tough and some still are, but a great many liberals owe their ability to even be liberal on the stability and prosperity of our existing sobriety. They will not be able to eat their ideology for breakfast, lunch and dinner. That ideology will not grow food, nor will it gather it, nor will it preserve it.
Maybe a few good hard winters (these are likely since CO2 levels and smog levels are down because of COVID shutdowns) would do the trick. All those huddled miserable people in American cities without food, without power, because the responsible people got out of town or made agreements with the only folks in the nation who truly have all the power – the farmers and ranchers – the people that generate food for everybody else. Those guys have no time for Neo Marxist ideology and class warfare. They are too busy making sure their crops grow and come in right.

The brief history taught to Americans about the 1962 Cuban missile crisis is that evil Soviets conspired with evil Castro to secretly place nuclear armed ballistic missiles in Cuba to threaten the United States. The United States military uncovered this plot, so President John Kennedy ordered a naval blockade of Cuba. The commies backed down and removed the missiles.
This is true but leaves out key facts: 1) The United States had installed 45 nuclear armed Jupiter ballistic missiles in Italy and Turkey in 1961. 2) The Americans were unaware that nuclear armed missiles were ready to launch from Cuba during this crisis, and that Castro had ordered these missiles launched should the United States attack. 3) The captain of a Soviet submarine concluded war had begun and ordered the launch of a nuclear torpedo. 4) Millions of Americans were almost killed.

theduran--2020-11-21--The end of the war in Syria will come as part of the agreement between Iran and China,” says Iranian

The end of the war in Syria will come as part of the agreement between Iran and China,” says Iranian foreign policy analyst

As the US changes leadership , new opportunities for re-alignment may open up for the Middle East and the wider region .
To understand more fully the implications presented in conflicts ranging from the US-Iran tension , the Syrian war , and the role of Turkey and Israel in the destabilization of the region , Steven Sahiounie of MidEastDiscourse , reached out to Polina Aniftou , analyst of the Iranian foreign policy , in a wide-ranging interview .
Steven Sahiounie ( SS ) : Once President-elect Joe Biden takes office on January 20th , will there likely be found a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Washington , in your view ?
Polina Aniftou ( PA ) : We have to be honest and accept that the tensions have a unilateral character from the US side , and the way the US , on behalf of Israel , try to involve Iran into a conflict , or a war , in the region , is not strategically wise .
The US tried with the assassination of Major Soleimani , explosions in Tehran , sanctions , the explosion in Beirut , and the war in Armenia to involve Iran @ @ @ @ @ @ @ expanded into war and to attack Iranian militias and army forces outside Iran .
The US treats Iran as they treat Egypt , Jordan , Arab monarchies of the Persian Gulf , as states under colonization , and second-class citizens of the Middle East .
The difference with Iran is that Iran has a long past and history of not asking for help and not accepting being treated as a weak state , and Iran has no interest to look to the West at this moment .
Iran has influence in a region @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is safe and secure .
Economically , Iran has is self-sufficient with products and raw materials to survive with a good living standard for decades , and the US is aware of this .
Given these facts , Biden will try to approach Iran for his benefit , to understand the objectives and the goals of Iran in order not to be humiliated in his foreign policy , unlike Trump .
I strongly believe that Biden will start eliminating sanctions only when he realizes the weak position of Israel and Israel ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s being a key-actor in the region .
I would say that in the next 2-3 years we will see many changes and Iran will be liberated by the imposed sanctions , mainly due to the reaction of China after signing the 25-year agreement with Iran last summer , and China needs a strong Iran to secure the Silk Road from Beirut to Kashmir through its allies and Shia populations that are loyal to Imam Khamenei .
SS : President Donald Trump broke with the nuclear deal that former President Obama had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deal being renewed under the future Biden administration , or will Iran have some new conditions ?
PA : In a few months ’ elections are coming to Iran and the new setup will be much closer to the army , Ayatollah ’ s opinion , and path of understanding .
After the assassination of Soleimani , Ayatollah repeated a very important admonition to not trust the US , and he made relevant statements during the US elections recently .
Iran has a philosophy in its foreign policy that if the enemy is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ take the steps to attack or to conquer Iran .
Historically , this has never occurred , even Alexander the Great did not manage a foothold in Iran .
Thus , as the US left the agreement from the Iranian side , the US dishonored themselves and can not be trusted .
The US did not pay the penalty to Iran for the unilateral withdrawal from the Nuclear Agreement .
Iran has claims but will sit on the same table to listen and be present before the eyes of the international community , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will never sit on the table if Biden is threatening , mistreating , and assaulting Iran and its political and diplomatic honesty .
I doubt that the Nuclear Agreement will be fully executed or motivated by any of the parties , but Biden will eliminate sanctions , due to pressure by Russia and China , and will start monitoring the region by closely observing Israel , which has caused discrepancies and incompatibility with the US foreign policy .
SS : In your view , if the relationship between Tehran and Washington were to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Saudi Arabia and Iran be eased ?
PA : The tensions between Iran and Riyadh may have been initiated by the US , but behind this diplomatic distance there is a deep ideological and theological gap that I fear can not be bridged .
The monarchies in the region worried about their future after the Islamic Revolution of 1979 .
The values of the Islamic Revolution are against monarchy , oppression , and promote self-sufficiency , independence , and Muslim unity ( Ummah ) .
The way the Saudis face Shiism , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Prophet Succession , and the leadership that Iran claims for the creation of Ummah put Saudis in a difficult position as they are afraid of the systemic existence of their monarchies .
The fact that even today it takes at least 15 years for an Iranian , after the application to be granted a visa , to visit Mecca indicates the hostility of Saudis to Iran .
The violence , the lack of respect for others , and human dignity in Saudi Arabia and the laws of Saudi Arabia , affect the relations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ involvement of a third power .
How is possible , when in Iran there are so many Sayyed , that receive legitimacy and origin from the 12 Imams , that 11 of them were killed by the forefathers of the Saudis and the Caliphs , for Iranians to feel secure with Saudis ?
Though for Iranians it is not important , certainly it is essential for Saudis , that they have tortured the daughter of the Prophet for the leadership of Caliphs , from where the monarchies are founded .
SS : The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ main ally in the Middle East region .
In your view , could the US keep ties with the Israeli occupation while establishing a relationship with Iran ?

The Shah did not believe that the clergies would support Imam Khomeini , and only Mossad and Israel understood that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is important because in the 60s and 70s during the Arab-Israeli war , the US prepared the Periphery Doctrine , along with the founder of Israel , David Ben-Gurion .

It is similar to what Reza Shah tried to do by issuing a decree known as Kashf-e hijab banning all Islamic veils in 1935 , which led to the massacre at the Goharshad Mosque in Mashhad in August 1935 , and the White Revolution of 1963 by his son M.

Steven Sahiounie, journalist and political commentator

Steven Sahiounie (SS): Once President-elect Joe Biden takes office on January 20th, will there likely be found a solution to ease the tension between Iran and Washington, in your view?
Polina Aniftou (PA): We have to be honest and accept that the tensions have a unilateral character from the US side, and the way the US, on behalf of Israel, try to involve Iran into a conflict, or a war, in the region, is not strategically wise.

The difference with Iran is that Iran has a long past and history of not asking for help and not accepting being treated as a weak state, and Iran has no interest to look to the West at this moment. Iran has influence in a region from Beirut to Kabul and the country is safe and secure. Economically, Iran has is self-sufficient with products and raw materials to survive with a good living standard for decades, and the US is aware of this. Given these facts, Biden will try to approach Iran for his benefit, to understand the objectives and the goals of Iran in order not to be humiliated in his foreign policy, unlike Trump. I strongly believe that Biden will start eliminating sanctions only when he realizes the weak position of Israel and Israel’s negative demographics and inefficiency which prevent it’s being a key-actor in the region. I would say that in the next 2-3 years we will see many changes and Iran will be liberated by the imposed sanctions, mainly due to the reaction of China after signing the 25-year agreement with Iran last summer, and China needs a strong Iran to secure the Silk Road from Beirut to Kashmir through its allies and Shia populations that are loyal to Imam Khamenei.
SS: President Donald Trump broke with the nuclear deal that former President Obama had signed. Do you see the former deal being renewed under the future Biden administration, or will Iran have some new conditions?

The US did not pay the penalty to Iran for the unilateral withdrawal from the Nuclear Agreement.

PA: The tensions between Iran and Riyadh may have been initiated by the US, but behind this diplomatic distance there is a deep ideological and theological gap that I fear cannot be bridged. The monarchies in the region worried about their future after the Islamic Revolution of 1979. The values of the Islamic Revolution are against monarchy, oppression, and promote self-sufficiency, independence, and Muslim unity (Ummah).

Iran will demand not only the end of the war, and the disarmament of terrorists, but also the terrorists to be convicted and to eave west Asia.

theduran--2020-11-22--Iraq Has the ‘Highest Negative Experiences Worldwide’ (Gallup)

Both Iraq and Iran have been and are being either sanctioned by or else constantly being threatened by the U.S. Government , though neither Iraq nor Iran ever invaded nor even threatened to invade the United States .
This is pure aggression against both Iraq and Iran , and the millions of people who are suffering these constant aggressions are the peoples of Iraq and of Iran .
Never does the U.S. Government apologize , and never do any of its allied governments ( America ’ s vassal nations ) so much as just suggest that the U.S. Government ought @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of aggression against the peoples of those and of other countries that never threatened America .
The U.S. is a constant international outlaw , launching wars of aggression routinely , and the rest of the world remains silent about this , decade after decade .

17 years after America’s conquest of Iraq, the “Gallup Global Emotions Report 2020”, which was just issued on November 19th, finds:
Iraq: The Most Negative Country in the World
After years of posting some of the highest scores in the world on the Negative Experience Index, Iraq topped the list in 2019 with a score of 51. This figure represents a slight increase from its score of 49 in 2018.
The country’s 2019 score reflects the turmoil in Iraq amid some of the largest and bloodiest protests in years. In late 2019, Iraqis’ approval of their country’s leadership plummeted from an already low 22% to just 13%. Nine in 10 Iraqis said corruption was widespread throughout their government.
Negative experiences remained fairly common for most of the population in 2019, with at least roughly half of Iraqis experiencing each of the five experiences in the survey. Notably, Iraqis led the world in experiencing anger — which was on full display in the streets in 2019 and 2020 — with 46% saying they felt a lot of anger the previous day.
No other country posted a Negative Experience Index score higher than Iraq’s, but, as in past years, people in several countries with high negative scores in 2019 were typically contending with some type of turmoil. Many have been at the top of the list for several years, including Chad, which was the most negative country in the world in 2018. However, there were several new appearances in 2019: Rwanda, Afghanistan, Lebanon and Tunisia.
This is nothing new. Gallup’s “Global Emotions Report 2015” said:
Iraq, Iran Top Negative Experience List for Second Consecutive Year
Iraq and Iran have the highest Negative Experience Index scores in the world for the second year in a row. Iraq has been No. 1 on this index three times — in 2011, 2013 and 2014 — and has been among the top five in all other years since 2008. Iran was No. 1 in 2012 and has made at least the top 15 countries in the years when Gallup has conducted surveys there. The presence of Iraq and Iran at the top of the list may not be that surprising given the political and economic turmoil that people in these countries have been experiencing lately, and how strongly related negative scores are to people’s perceptions about their living standards and health problems. In fact, people in most of the countries with the highest negative scores in 2014 were contending with some type of disruption — economic or otherwise — including Liberia, which was dealing with the onset of the Ebola outbreak at the time of the survey.
In that year’s surveys (2014), all ten of the countries that had the “Lowest Negative Experience Index Scores,” except Rwanda, Myanmar, and Taiwan, were countries that prior to 1991 were communist countries, and included both Russia and China.
On 29 September 2015, I headlined about that report, “GALLUP: ‘Iraqis Are the Saddest & One of the Angriest Populations in the World’,” and closed with “Is Uzbekistan really the best place to live? Anyway, it’s one of the few countries that the U.S. didn’t grab control of, either by outright invasion, or by means of a coup.” All of the ten-best-scoring, and ten worst-scoring, nations, in that report, were listed there.
In that 2015 report, Iraq scored as #1 on “negative experiences,” and Iran scored as #2. In the 2020 report, Iraq is again #1 on it, but Iran is now #9 on it. The 2015 report said: “Iraq’s high Negative Experience Index score is largely attributable to the relatively high percentages of Iraqis who report experiencing each of these negative emotions. Majorities of Iraqis experienced worry (62%), physical pain (57%), sadness (57%) and stress (55%) the previous day, and half of Iraqis (50%) said they experienced anger. Iraqis lead the world in experiencing sadness and tie with Iran on anger (49%).” Great going, team America! America’s liar-in-chief, who deceived Americans into invading Iraq, George W. Bush, had a favorable/unfavorable rating of 59%/37%, or a 1.6 net-favorability score, in Gallup’s latest (2017) survey; and the last time when Gallup had surveyed and found at least as high a ratio for him was in January 2004, 65%/35%, or 1.86: his approval by the American people at that time was 1.86 times favorable, as compared to unfavorable. So, Americans simply don’t hold such monstrous lying leaders accountable, at all — not only don’t execute them, but don’t even especially despise them, for the gratuitous vast harms, which such a leader had produced.
Now, five years later, in Gallup’s 2020 report, the ten “Lowest Negative Experiences Worldwide” nations are still dominated by countries that, prior to 1991, were communist. Here is that list, of these ten countries, and their respective “Negative Experience” scores, in the 2019 surveys:
Taiwan 13
Kazakhstan 15
Mongolia 16
Azerbaijan 16
Turkmenistan 17
Poland 17
Estonia 17
Vietnam 18
Malaysia 19
Kyrgyzstan 19
China 19
Again, only two of them had not been communist, but this time a different two: Malaysia and Taiwan.
Here are the 2020 report’s “Highest Negative Experiences Worldwide”:
Iraq 51
Rwanda 49
Afghanistan 48
Chad 48
Lebanon 48
Sierra Leone 48
Guinea 47
Tunisia 46
Iran 45
Togo 45
So: Rwanda went from being the 7th-lowest in the “Negative Experience Index Scores” in 2015, to being the 2nd-highest in the “Negative Experience Index Scores” in 2020. That suggests some type of terrible change in Rwanda during those five years.
Here are the changes in “Lowest Negative Experiences Worldwide” between the 2015 report and the 2020 report:
2015
Uzbekistan 12
China 15
Mongolia 15
Myanmar 15
Russia 15
Taiwan 15
Rwanda 16
Kazakhstan 17
Kyrgyzstan 17
Turkmenistan 18
2020
Taiwan 13
Kazakhstan 15
Mongolia 16
Azerbaijan 16
Turkmenistan 17
Poland 17
Estonia 17
Vietnam 18
Malaysia 19
Kyrgyzstan 19
China 19
Not even the American people benefit from the U.S. Government’s constant invasions, and coups, and economic sanctions, against so many countries that never posed any threat to the U.S. Only America’s billionaires benefit, and too few of those exist for them to show up in any of these “happiness” and “misery” figures from Gallup. They control the U.S. Government and thereby spread misery in so many places, to benefit only themselves.
