Good grief, Carl! If he gets off the religion topic for a change don't
discourage him.

Greetings,
I did not respond to Mostafa's last post because he frustrates me.
Mostafa is obviously a bright young man. But he is also a fixated
man. You, Miriam, and to some extent I, and others, have posted piles
and piles of materials and links providing far different positions
than those which the Corporate Mass Media shoves down our throats
daily.
While I do not expect Mostafa to understand the political complexities
of the American Empire, anymore than I understand the complexities of
Egyptian politics, I feel that we are not dealing with a man who wants
to expand his knowledge, or carry on any sort of discussion. I do
believe however, that the many posts by Mostafa have provided insight
into why the planet is divided into so many pieces, like a giant
jigsaw puzzle consisting of puzzle pieces that do not fit.
As long as we talk past one another, as long as we shut out the views
of others, as long as we focus upon defending our beliefs as being the
right and true beliefs, then our fate is sealed. We are condemned to
self destruction.
Cheerfully,
Carl Jarvis

Mustafa,
This deserves a response, except there's just too much to respond to.
The reason that what you hear from the US mainstream media right now is so
focused on Trump's utterances and trivial observations regarding what is
happening in the world, is that most people in the US are as outraged by
what Mr. Trump says and how he behaves, as you are. He doesn't represent the
majority of Americans, nor the majority of white people, nor the majority of
white Protestant people. However, there are enough people who think like he
does, to have given him a majority of votes in the electoral college. That
isn't a majority of the popular vote. There is something wrong with his
mental processes which is why he talks as he does. And it is why he is so
easily manipulated by the members of the US surveillance, military, and
security establishment. The fact is that most of our presidents have given
in, to some extent, to what the Military and the CIA want them to do. Trump
is, according to all the psychiatrists and psychologists who've written
about him, a "malignant marcassist so he really believes that his needs are
most important and he'll do whatever he thinks will show his power and
importance. He is a tool of the wealthiest and most corrupt elements in this
country.

Subject: [blind-democracy] Trump's last speech, unbelievable
After he was bore witness against by his ex special attorney at a publicised
congressional hearing, Trump callously assaults his opponents in Maryland
speech. Trump has launched a furious assault on Special Counsel Robert
Mueller and on his critics at a conservative summit. In the longest and yet
the most disdainful speech of his unendowed presidency, Mr Trump railed
against the inquiry into alleged collusion between his campaign and Russia.
"We're waiting for a report by people who weren't elected," he told a crowd
of cheering conservatives. Mr Mueller is expected to hand in his report to
the attorney general shortly. "Unfortunately, you put the wrong people in a
couple of positions and they leave people for a long time that shouldn't be
there and all of a sudden they are trying to take you out with bullshit,
okay?" the president said. The speech - clocking in at more than two hours -
also included sharp attacks on former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, former
FBI head James Comey, the Democratic Party and those critical of his
approach to North Korea.
Whom did the president attack? Speaking at the Conservative Political Action
Conference in Maryland, Mr Trump lashed out at his detractors in a
wide-ranging speech.
"This is how I got elected, by being off script. And if we don't go off
script, our country is in big trouble, folks," he began. The president
repeatedly said that Mr Mueller had "never received a vote", nor had Deputy
Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who appointed Mr Mueller to his position.
The president alleged Mr Mueller was "best friends" with former FBI head
James Comey, and mocked the accent of former attorney general Mr Sessions,
whom he fired in November. The president's attacks ranged widely. He called
the Green New Deal proposal - pitched by some Democrats as a radical bid to
combat climate change - "the craziest plan", saying "when the wind stops
blowing, that's the end of your electric". After a series of deadly ardent
remarks on immigrants who, he said, must "love our country", Mr Trump said,
"\We have people in Congress that hate our country." "And you know that, and
we can name every one of them if you want," he said. In short, Trump's last
speech resembled Racism, Xenophobia, Belligerence and unjustified Pride in
their unbearably highest peak. As I said many times before, Trump isn't
himself the prob. The ones who cursedly spat and wholeheartedly cheer to his
implausibly despicable remarks are to be utterly extinguished.
Conservative white supremacists are his mainly pro protagonists. These
people are enormously imperious. Those are the ones who damnably brought
that hellion to oval office in Washington D.C.. I have problem with those
who enthusiastically applaud to his intemperately intolerable remarks. They
love him so much because he says and does what they like. Honestly, I just
couldn't put up with this plain impudence. They never spat and cheer but to
something that is dreadfully racialist, xenophobic or generically absonant.
How are those supposedly coming from the leading nation of democratic and
multicultural descent? This alleged statement has to be redressed.
This demonic provoker is relentlessly besieged with idiots. And as to his
language, he speaks the language of American public, which is relevantly
colloquial but also, well, just quite crude and disgraceful. They surely
like him speaking as they do, always rude, awless and radically vicious. How
is this the manner of what is suppose to be the leading entity of the
democratic world? I'm substantially incensed at the west for bearing to be
led and blindly pulled toward any direction that is to serve American
interest. It's if as they're attached to them with magnetic impact. Donald
Trump isn't the problem at all. The ones who volitionally brought him to us
are. They indicate approval of everything he says and does. So, they concur
with his racialist and immensely xenophobic disposal. They approvedly cheer
Islamophobia, insolence and deliberately escalated religious secernment.
Trump allegedly says about himself and on behalf of his supporters, "We
believe in religious liberty". Could he dare to allow Muslims to speak
freely on his podium? I challenge him to do so. Trump's platform is full of
hate rhetoric, religious discrimination and xenophobic tendency. He
unprovably associates crime with immigrants, discriminatively referring to
them as, "illegal aliens". This man is insane. This is someone who doesn't
respect anyone. He doesn't one to share the nation's leadership. This is
someone who perennially displaces those who were so loyal to him yesterday.
This is someone who shamelessly mocks accents of people.
What an awful guy. The term incompetent is absolutely the slightest to
describe him. I'm not going to tolerate the Trump like temperament brought
by anyone therein. White Protestants have to recognise something, the game
is wholly exposed. Seriously, the game is wholly exposed and they won't ever
be able to get Islam out of our hearts.
Whether they use Religious cover or the lack of to subdue us, we remain
stiffly defiant in the face of impervious imperialism and cultural
manipulation. If they are willing to communicate respectfully, they are
welcome. Otherwise, just go to hell. I will continue to be fiercer on
coercively imposed American conservative union. Pass this on to people
who're standing alongside this approach.
It is time to break silence and speak frankly. I'm not willing to be
submissive to this sort of de facto situation. The United States has to
choose between Trump's intolerable belligerence and be flawlessly
ostracised, or, to dispose him and reconnect to the world. They are going to
determine their ultimate destiny in the next election. You may constantly
recall this, the world isn't at your possession. Just remember this last
sentence properly.
