“The
problems we face, did not come down from the heavens. They are made, they are
made by bad human decisions, and good human decisions can change them.”
~ Bernie Sanders
There is a reason that Bernie
Sanders has surged ahead in the Presidential Primary Polls and that Britain's
Jeremy Corbyn has done the same thing in the UK ~ it's people power and it
won't be stopped. The
honesty of Bernie Sanders is a
lifeboat in a sea of political deception and lost hope and soon he will be
joined by the UK's Jeremy Corbyn as a worldwide counter balance to corporate
power and the elite 1 percent as well as a genuine reflection of a new
world order based on people power: Allen L Roland, PhD
As I wrote in VT in May of
2015 ~ Admit it, most of us know the political system is rigged, that
most Americans have been marginalized and silenced by a growing plutocracy and
that corporations are now firmly in control, that a truly honest politician is
an oxymoron, that is until now ~ Bernie Sanders is a lifeboat in a sea of
political deception and lost hope. Bernie is an honest Independent
politician who cares enough now in 2015 to become a Democrat, run against
Hillary and the other political pretenders of both parties for the presidency
and who knows ~ A Sanders/Warren ticket just may ride a building progressive
wave of Hope that is still waiting to crest and has now spread to the UK with
the election of Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn. See May VT Post / http://www.veteranstoday.com/2015/05/02/give-em-hell-bernie-the-game-is-on/
As I mentioned in my VT post, Bernie has my
support and you may call me a dreamer but as John Lennon once sang ~ I'm
not the only one ~ and my dream team ticket is still a Sanders/Warren
ticket for President riding a populist wave to victory in 2016.
In some ways, it's David versus Goliath but
never underestimate the power of honesty and the truth ~ it can change the
world but Hillary and her rapidly crumbling corporate machine is no longer
an entitled Goliath but instead a politically weakened dinosaur.
Without a single TV ad ~ or a single congressional
endorsement ~ Sanders has exposed the weakness of the party’s Clintonian
establishment while at the same time spotlighting its hunger for an ideological
saviour. Polls now indicate that if the nominating
contests were held tomorrow, Sanders would edge out Clinton in Iowa and beat
her in New Hampshire by atleast 10 points. Nationally, he has cut Clinton’s
lead from an impregnable 46 points to a rapidly disappearing
21 points in just two months.

A few days
after announcing his candidacy, Bernie told a reporter “I think people should be a little bit careful underestimating me,” and I most certainly am not making that
mistake with Bernie Sanders ~ but
I would now add that these days no one is
underestimating Bernie and many are finally taking notice and are obviously
getting involved.
HERE ARE THE OTHER REPUBLICAN CHOICES
My favorite quote about the recent Republican debates is from Ralph Nader ~
"If the Republican Party’s early primary campaigns for the presidential
nomination had an elephant and a clown car, Ringling Brothers would be in
trouble."
It
is war profits
that drive Republican war hawks as evidenced in their last debate: Here are
Col. Lawrence Wilkerson's candid remarks (Real News) on the last GOP debate
as Wilkerson and Paul
Jay discuss the war mongering talk of star of the moment, Carly Fiorina, and
most of the other
GOP candidates ~ who all clearly
demonstrate that our Democracy is dying and that none of these clowns are
electable. Must see if only to hear the tough truth from Wilkerson about
our sad political state ~ 17 minute video ~ http://therealnews.com/t2/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=31&Itemid=74&jumival=14745
Without
a doubt, the most disingenuous statement mentioned in that circus of Republican
Presidential imbeciles is Jeb Bush's statement that his brother George W "kept
us safe on 9/11" ~ which is as far from
the truth as the official 9/11 report.
As
Kay Steiger writes in RSN (No Jeb, Your Brother did not Keep us Safe) ~
" Much of the analysis following the World Trade Center
attacks revealed that the Bush administration ignored warnings that such a plot could be in the works. Declassified documents indicate that Osama bin Laden had been planning the
attacks for years. But rather than preparing for potential terrorist attacks,
reports indicated that the Bush administration was more focused on missile defense…. most evidence indicates that the war in Iraq was
dangerously misguided. The Iraq war wasn’t linked to the attacks on U.S. soil, and a 2006 intelligence report indicated
that the U.S. presence in Iraq actually worsened the threat of terrorism.
Ultimately, nearly
5,000 American troops and other allied troops gave their lives during the
war in Iraq."
John Dean calls 9/11 worse than Watergate and
correctly identified Cheney as the chief villain ~ "9/11 was a perfect storm, a moment they had
anticipated when looking earlier for a catalyst necessary to accomplish their
broader (PNAC) Neocon goals "....."Cheney's
persuasiveness behind closed doors, one on one, is legendary. With a rookie in
national security matters, like Bush, Cheney can be both a Svengali and a
Rasputin......With Bush and Cheney, not only is Cheney the senior partner, he
is prime minister".
NOW THERE'S BERNIE AND JEREMY
Chris Hedges correctly gauges the political
significance of Jeremy Corbyn in ICH: "The
politics of Jeremy Corbyn, elected by a landslide Saturday
to lead Britain’s Labour Party after its defeat at the polls last May, are
part of the global revolt against corporate tyranny. He had spent his long
career as a pariah within his country’s political establishment. But because he
held fast to the socialist ideals that defined the old Labour Party, he has
risen untarnished out of the ash heap of neoliberalism. His
integrity, as well as his fearlessness, offers a lesson to America’s
self-identified left, which is long on rhetoric and preoccupied
with accommodating the power elites ~ especially those in the Democratic Party
~ and very short on courage." See
article ~ http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article42852.htm
Sounds a lot like Bernie Sanders and watch as
Corbyn slowly replaces the infamous and thoroughly discredited Tony Blair as the
potential Prime Minister and voice of the British people in 2020.
"I
think to bring about a peace process you have to talk to people [with whom] you
profoundly disagree. There is not going to any peace process unless there are
talks involving Israel, Hezbollah and Hamas." Jeremy Corbyn
Here's
a very believable Jeremy Corbin being interviewed on British TV and watch the
now visible shape of the future ~ causing much consternation from neoliberal Prime minister David Cameron. 14 minute
video.
THE BIG PICTURE
As
Chris Hedges correctly asserts ~ "Corbyn’s
ascent to the head of the Labour Party has already triggered a backlash against
him by the forces of the neoliberal political order. These forces are
determined to prevent him from becoming prime minister. The entrenched elites
within his own party ~ a number of whom have already resigned from party leadership
positions in
protest of Corbyn’s election ~ will seek to do to him what the Democratic
establishment did in 1972 to George McGovern after he won the party’s
nomination. The rhetoric of fear has already begun. Prime Minister David
Cameron on Sunday tweeted: “The
Labour Party is now a threat to our national security, our economic security
and your family’s security.” This battle will be ugly"
This
battle for power will indeed be ugly in the United
States and Britain but battle tested Bernie and Jeremy are ready ~ for the worldwide populist dye is
cast and Bernie Sanders and Jeremy Corbyn
will eventually lead the way to a New World order based on people power versus
corporate power and perhaps Justice will
eventually be served.
