2016 is the year of the
US presidential election. Once again the two-party system is
in turmoil as the Illuminati-controlled Virginia Company selects its new public
relationship officer in a way to make it look as if "the people have a
choice in this democracy!", and various other warm and fuzzy buzz words
from which a politician can take their pick when making a speech. The process
to elect a new President of the
United States is very different and far more complicated than a British
general election. The
United States of America has an executive branch of government that is separate
from the legislative Congress, the equivalent of our Houses of Parliament. In
the
UK the head of government, the prime minister, is simply the
leader of the governing party in the House of Commons; whereas the
USA chooses its leader in a separate election. The
USA is a republic and the president fulfils the roles of both
head of government and head of state; in
Britain we have a monarchy and the Queen is the head of state. The
election of a new President has to take into account that the United States is
a federation, not a singular country, and so each state cooperates to create the
US Electoral College, a board of 538 electors who together decide who will be
the US President and Vice President. Each party nominates a series of candidates
who have to compete against each other in the first round of elections called
the presidential primaries and caucuses; these traditionally take place between
February and June of an election year. After that the main presidential
election goes ahead with the "nominations", the final winners of the parties'
primaries and caucuses, battling it out for the voting day itself, which is
usually in November. Right now it appears a major upset is underway because the
two most popular candidates are Bernie Sanders for the Democrats and Donald
Trump for the GOP. This situation reminds me somewhat of the Ron Paul
phenomenon of the previous election and also the freak triumph of Jeremy Corbyn
in
Britain, see:

Bernie Sanders is what Americans
would call a radical liberal, and what in the
UK would be known as a socialist. He has supported leftist
causes his whole life, being advocate for black civil rights and colleague of Dr
Martin Luther King. He supports feminism, LGBT rights and universal public
healthcare; something we're losing in
Britain right now, see:

An interesting bit of trivia is that I know his brother Larry. Larry Sanders
lives in east
Oxford and is a long term Green Party councillor. His son Jacob
Sanders has also sat on the council. Larry is quite likeable, a gentle Jewish
academic kind of man. I want to school with his daughter Anna and, if I recall
correctly, she was rather less amiable, to put it mildly, see:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-33254500.
His brother Bernie's commitment to racial equality is often met with extreme ingratitude
by the people he wants to help, see:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmhMo-6JoG0.
It's sad that Bernie Sanders may well have helped free those idiotic little
girls' fathers from jail or carried them away injured from a police riot line. Donald
Trump is another ideological maverick at the other extreme. He is an arch conservative
and very vocal about right wing populist issues like immigration, crime and the
military. He is a rich businessman who owns a chain of estate agents and also a
golf resort in
Scotland. He became a TV star recently by presenting the American
version of the TV show
The Apprentice,
see:

Like Sanders, he has a mantle of sincerity. He's a big, loveable buffoon, a
loud and jolly Scottish-American pub-crawler with his disregard for political
correctness and his shock of dyed blond hair. He's a sharp contrast to Sanders'
quiet Jewish heartfelt grandfatherly kindness and dedication to the welfare of
the downtrodden. However I think those two men have a lot more in common with
each other than either of them do with the woman who will eventually defeat them
both.
It's a perennial question: In a
world where we can supposedly choose our rulers, why do we never end up with
rulers we actually like?
Democracy is
one of the most evocative words in the English language; it is loaded down like
no other with emotional, cultural and political baggage. Wars have been fought
over democracy which have cost the lives of millions. Some people will start
weeping at the very mention of the word. The quest for democracy has produced
some of the most dramatic tales in history, from the Chartists to the
Suffragettes to Mandela. We're told that democracy is the ideal form of
government, the end goal of historical politics. Yet most democratic countries,
even very old democracies, are suffering from a malaise. Democratic governments
have a major credibility problem in their relationship with their citizens;
some political leaders even have approval ratings in single figures. Cynicism
is endemic and electoral turnout is low. Citizens will more often find
themselves voting for negative reasons instead of positive; they’ll vote in
order to keep somebody they don’t like out of office, rather than to elect
somebody they
do like. Democratic
countries today are ruled by some of the most loathsome people imaginable. They
are almost all cruel, stupid, selfish, weak, cowardly, corrupt and amoral; and,
despite the fact that nominally we can “choose our leaders”, these kinds of
people always rise to the top and nobody seems to know why, let alone how to
stop them. The next President of the
United States is one such person. A lot of fuss is being made at the
moment about Donald Trump calling for the banning of Muslims from entering the
USA. The British parliament are even debating whether to ban him
from the
UK (this would be an interesting situation if he were to
win). There's a petition that currently has over half a million signatures
demanding that, see:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-35321834.
Hilary Clinton is the wife of President Bill Clinton who did a two term stint
through the 1990's. She is the current
US Secretary of State under President Obama and has supported
his continuation of the "War on Terror"; this includes drone strikes
in
Pakistan and the regime change in
Libya. After
Libya's former leader Muammar Gaddafi was murdered in the street
by a lynch mob she said: "We came, we saw, he died!" and laughs as if
it were a big joke. Not only Gaddafi, but thousands of innocent Libyans were
killed in that war, one her government deliberately stirred up. Ask any Muslim
in the
Middle East: would you rather be banned from entering the
United States or have your wife and kids blown to pieces by a missile
from a drone? Guess what reply you'd get. So why are Parliament not debating a
ban on Hillary entering the country? Hillary claims that her presidency will
include transparency on the UFO issue and this has impressed the Disclosure
campaigner Stephen Bassett, but personally I'm far more dubious, see:
http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/hillary-talks-ufos.html.
(On a positive note, when Hilary gets elected I've promised to remake my
controversial Obama Disclosure video dressed as her! See:
http://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.co.uk/2011/08/disclosure-is-here-president-admits.html.)
Hilary is the chosen one. What we are going to see over the next few months is
a sudden and inexplicable decline in the public presence of Donald Trump and
Bernie Sanders. By November their very names will be virtually forgotten.
Hillary will face some Republican non-entity like Rick Santorum or Ted Cruz,
whom she will walk over with ease to become the first female President of the
United States. Feminists will vote for Hillary for no other reason than
her gender just like black people voted for Obama, virtually to a man, out of
the same principle. Her status as a woman will disarm many of her opponents in
the same way that Obama being black disarmed his; "Don't criticize the President,
you
racist!" If all else fails
Donald Trump could always go for a walk in the woods like Dr David Kelly... and
Bernie Sanders is getting on a bit in years; nobody lives forever you know!
This is more of a warning than a prediction. It can be stopped, but only if the
American people wake up to the forces truly controlling their nation.
