Oct 20th 2 am UK time.

Last chance for the Establishment to stop the Trump surge in the polls.
World leaders will be watching, Establishments will be tuning in on the edge of their seats in trepidation.

People will be laughing, diving into the popcorn and knocking back the alcohol.

Round 3. Rock'n'roll.

I have spent my whole professional life working towards this goal. However, no matter how much I read or theorise, I can't reconcile two issues. One - the privileging of decision makers in all human societies and two - the inability of two opposing ideas to coexist peacefully. There is no way to reconcile these two things.

We can work towards anything, but it's not to do with poor people and immigrants per se. The current problem is diametrically opposed cultures. The refugees & immigrants into USA between 1850 to 1950 were from various parts of Europe: Russia, Scandinavia, Ireland, Germany, Poland, etc and there was no culture shock, people got on with finding ways to put food on the table and for the most part people rubbed along well enough. Some remained poor, others became well off. These were the people who built the cities of USA.

Humans, or indeed any other species, don't live like that and never have.

It's a good thing the founding fathers were never told about that when building up the "United States" of America, with their open borders.

The US is an example of how it can work. With richer regions and poorer regions. With local governments and a Federal government.
I'm surprised California, NY and Florida, for example, don't close borders to prevent the stem of immigrants from poorer regions and different cultures. You know, cultures where racism and sexism is still a thing.

It's a lovely dream but does not match reality.

Martin Luther also had a dream. It hasn't matched reality yet. I wonder if it ever will. It didn't match reality then.
It's not to mean that we can't work towards it.

socially engineer your own country to suit your own greed for power and money, to erode its character and destroy its nucleus by bringing in hostiles who you think you will have use for in your dream of an America without borders.

Wow!
Impressive. Did you get all that from telepathy? Crystal ball?

Meanwhile, back on planet Earth

Obama was talking at the weekend about the complexities of govt and why it's not the same as running a business.

Trump vs Clinton Round 3. Probably the biggest debate ever.

The framework and orderliness of the universe is made up of combinations of numbers. Check it out and learn instead of sneering. It's a totally different world.

We should not forget that Soros may well be in the background here, on Hlllllary's side.

"Massive corruption financial and otherwise that is visibly hollowing out American institutions, such as the FBI (the failure to follow investigative procedure, followed by calls for FBI Director James Comey's resignation); the Department of Justice (the "Fast and Furious" gun-walking scandal, and the Attorney General meeting with a former president whose wife is under investigation); the State Department (email leaks are still yielding up evidence of collusion between the Clinton Global Initiative and the State Department under Hillary Clinton); the IRS (targeting conservative non-profits, and raiding the businesses of private citizens, who disagree with policy); the Environmental Protection Agency's attempt to acquire power over every puddle in America) and the Executive branch in the "I have a pen and I have a phone" president's dealings with Iran.

There have also been attempts by outsiders to incite racial and religious anarchy. The entrepreneur George Soros, for example, donated $33 million to turn events in Ferguson, Missouri from a local protest into chaos.

"Instead of helping Americans to create a safer, more prosperous way of life, the Ferguson events destroyed a community, devastated small business owners, and eroded security, the rule of law, and any hope for a better future. Who benefits? Creating chaos embeds a political dependency: rather than helping people to climb out of poverty, it keeps them voting for politicians to "rescue" them."

"claig - the Number 8 is a very potent number in Numerology apparently."

Well that sealed it for me. Bwahaha.

Boosiehs · 17/10/2016 11:46

Anyone else imagining claig et al foaming at the mouth while protesting about Trump's amazing record as a business man - those bankruptcies were good things oh and those women were making it up and they are all against him.

Not at all paranoid sounding, oh no.

It IS a sin to sexually assault women

It's also a sin to socially engineer your own country to suit your own greed for power and money, to erode its character and destroy its nucleus by bringing in hostiles who you think you will have use for in your dream of an America without borders. People who came to America from 1890 to 1950 built modern America, and gave that country its pep and vigour, but trucking in various migrants to small sleepy towns all over America is crazy.

CBNNews.com – SHELBYVILLE, Tenn. They would go into stores and haggle over prices. They would also demand to see a male salesperson, would not deal with women in stores… some Somali students won’t talk to female administrators… Somalis have isolated themselves from the rest of the community. All perfectly normal Islamic behavior, typified by contempt for infidels and women. As for “isolating themselves from the rest of the community,” that has to do with Koranic verses such as 3:28: “Let not the believers take disbelievers for their friends in preference to believers."

Anyone think that Hilllllary's vision will work?

'Arnie was Governor of California and therefore part of the Establishment.'

Some Governores have gone with Trump and the people, but there are others who have gone all in with the elites. I think they will be on the losing side, but we will find out on Nov 8th.

Yes of course, Arnie was Governor of California and therefore part of the Establishment.

'He is austrian'

He is an American citizen. He is with the Establishment, backed politically correct John Kasich over the Republican people's choice of Trump. Schwarzenegger will not be popular with Republican voters after Trump wins. He backed the wrong horse, he backed the Establishment.

The Oxbridge graduates in New Labour copied their American counterparts. That is how it works. They are all the same and they all want the same and work for the same global elites and banks who want to destroy the sovereignty of independent nations in order to push through their globalisation

Yes, THEY are all in it together, we are not included and many do not realise that such a long con is possible.

Planned Parenthood will probably have to split its abortion part off and the other services will be funded by the taxpayer and the abortion part won't.

So Trump expects there to be a class divide for poor people attending PP: yes, you can have some of our services, but should you need a termination for good medical or social reasons, sorry, you're on your own. Unless of course he plans for the Trump foundation to fund it.

Southallgirl · 17/10/2016 10:39

some bureaucrats on £200,000 have decided that people who are obese or smoke won't be able to receive the minor operations

Smokers already contribute billions to the Exchequer in taxes and should be allowed minor operations. The problem though with major surgery is that healing and recovery is poor in smokers, and general anaesthesia dicey.

I don't see anything wrong with that dream

It's a lovely dream but does not match reality. Humans, or indeed any other species, don't live like that and never have. It's an artificial way to structure society. It's not how we group ourselves. There wouldn't be such a variety of species on the planet if nothing was different. You can't eradicate difference. Difference isn't bad. It is what it is. It's a fact of life. We can still trade, do deals, exchange knowledge and help one another, just like we have always done, but there's no way to remove the variety of ways in which living organisms adapt to their various environments, which create differences between them. We could equalise everybody in an 'we are all identical' way but then we have small problem. Who makes the decisions about how we live? What Hillary is proposing (open borders) has never been observed and it won't work because in order to avoid anarchic decision making (Diamond, 2005), someone will have to take charge of it (big chief, village elder, Hillary stateswoman) - and that's when inequality sets in. We can be egalitarian toward one another across our differences, but we can't be identical. It's an impossible (and dangerous) dream. It's not nationalism that kills people. It's the decision makers. But we all know this already.

A good piece by Perazzo.

"A devastating exposé of the most unfit and undeserving individual ever to seek the American presidency."
