Rehashing my 2015 Tumblr post

Would be nice to see a first non-Christian POTUS
Though DJT claimed to be Buddhist on Fox News Fox & friends; ephemerally.
I’m Semitic/Arab but I’m not jewish. I am Mazel tov nikkah-ed to a jewish man though since July 21st 2012. He made me convert him to Islam which for Jewish people is simply saying Shahada. Since unlike Christians Jews don’t commit shirq or eat pork. Halal & kosher are mostly synonymous. - should I call this fiction for the purpose of self protection; nothing I write is written under oath; so please don’t treat it as such/سچ ha ha

Not a single Jew or Muslim POTUS, his initials are BS. 

But I don’t like Bernie because I’m ageist and he strikes me as a talker not a doer, more #misogynistic than anti-corruption. But do believe that he might be the next POTUS.

Another Vast Jewish Conspiracy :

    The Argument Robin Shepherd (Zionist Zealot) made in this article dated Nov. 18, 2009 4:50 p.m. ET in the Wall Street Journal is that British news media is anti-Zionist, anti-Israel and therefore antisemitic;while both The UK and  US continue to ecumenically and Militarily support Israel, one of the richest and technologically advanced countries in the world.  

Fine Print: A push to boost military support to Israel because of Iranian nuclear deal - published August 24th 2015 in The Washington Post.

Citation: Obama also pointed out that Israel is the only country in the Middle East that has been offered the new F-35, a fifth-generation U.S. strike fighter, the first of which is expected to be delivered next year. It’s an example of Qualitative Military Edge, or QME, a policy enacted into law by Congress in 2008 that requires U.S. presidents to carry out an “empirical and qualitative assessment on an ongoing basis of the extent to which Israel possesses a qualitative military edge over military threats to Israel.”  

Obama Has a Stronger Record on Israel Than You Might Have Been Led to Think  Published in Haaretz written by Greg Rosenbaum  23.06.2015 15:12 Updated: 3:13 PM  

Citation:

Obama’s actions prove his commitment. Israel continues to be the top recipient of U.S. foreign military financing, and for fiscal year 2016, the administration requested $3.1 billion in funding. The two nations also have begun preliminary talks on a long-term package that would provide up to $45 billion in security assistance grant aid through 2028. Early this year, Israel signed a contract with the United States for the purchase of 14 F-35 fighter jets, amounting to $3 billion.

Since Obama entered office, Israel has received more than $20.5 billion in foreign military financing. Unlike President George W. Bush, who rejected Israel’s request for bunker-buster bombs, Obama became the first president to approve the sale of these advanced weapons, and in the fall of 2012, the U.S. and Israel participated in Austere Challenge 12, the largest joint military exercise ever to be held between the two countries.

“Since the October War in 1973, Washington has provided Israel with a level of support dwarfing the amounts provided to any other state. It has been the largest annual recipient of direct U.S. economic and military assistance since 1976 and the largest total recipient since World War ll. Total direct U.S. aid to Israel amounts to well over $140 billion in 2003 dollars. Israel receives about $3 billion in direct foreign assistance each year, which is roughly one-fifth of America’s entire foreign aid budget. In per capita terms, the United States gives each Israeli a direct subsidy worth about $500 per year. This largesse is especially striking when one realizes that Israel is now a wealthy industrial state with a per capita income roughly equal to South Korea or Spain.”- John J. Mearsheimer and Stephen M. Walt

Rand Paul Proposes Boosting Defense Spending Time magazine article dated  March 26, 2015

Citation:The move completes a stunning reversal for Paul, who in May 2011, after just five months in office, released his own budget that would have eliminated four agencies—Commerce, Housing and Urban Development, Energy and Education—while slashing the Pentagon, a sacred cow for many Republicans. Under Paul’s original proposal, defense spending would have dropped from $553 billion in the 2011 fiscal year to $542 billion in 2016. War funding would have plummeted from $159 billion to zero. He called it the “draw-down and restructuring of the Department of Defense.”

I guess Dr. Paul figured out that flip-flopping gets support in Washington: Hilary Clinton’s many Flip-flops and resultant support boosts.

Why Have There Been No Catholic Presidents Since John F. Kennedy? Newsweek Article dated 23rd September 2015  

Citation:  There have been an abundance of Catholic vice presidential nominees since 1960, but their Catholicism was often seen as a balance to the Protestant at the top of the ticket. They include William E. Miller, Barry Goldwater’s running mate in 1964; Ed Muskie, Hubert Humphrey’s running mate in 1968; Sargent Shriver, George McGovern’s running mate in 1972; Geraldine Ferraro, Walter Mondale’s running mate in 1984; and Joe Biden, Barack Obama’s running mate in 2008, which made Biden the first Catholic elected nationwide since JFK 48 years earlier.

Would Britain accept a Jewish Prime Minister? By Tim Bale 7:00AM GMT 23 Jan 2015

Citation: As for anti-Semitism more generally, the picture is far from perfect but perhaps not as worrying as it is in other countries in Europe. Just 10 per cent of all respondents agreed with the statement that

“Jews have too much influence in this country” 

– although once again UKIP supporters stood out somewhat. Some 18 per cent of them agreed with this statement, compared to 9 per cent of those planning to vote Conservative,

10 per cent of those planning to vote Labour and 5 per cent of those planning to vote Lib Dem

.It is also worth noting that 23 per cent of UKIP supporters disagreed with the statement. But that compared to 38 per cent of Conservative supporters, 44 per cent of Labour supporters and 47 per cent of Lib Dem supporters.While it’s important not to exaggerate them, the differences between supporters of different parties – or rather the supporters of one party and the rest – are quite striking.

And then this PR Stunt happened : 30,000 sign online petition to arrest Netanyahu in UK next month Israel dismisses petition as a PR stint; Britain changed its law in 2011 to thwart previous bids to have Israeli leaders held for war crimes.

Hillary Clinton flip-flops on Trans-Pacific PartnershipBy Lauren Carroll on Thursday, October 8th, 2015 at 4:19 p.m.

Citation:

Yet Mr. Sanders has a long record of criticizing the Democratic Party and before the 2012 presidential election took the view that President Barack Obama should be challenged for the party nomination.

That history undercuts the claim that Mr. Sanders is truly committed to the Democratic Party, one of his rivals, former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, suggests.In an appearance on a TV talk show Sunday Mr. Sanders pushed back on the notion that he is not a true Democrat.“I made a decision in this presidential election that I will run as a Democrat; I am a Democrat now,” Mr. Sanders said on ABC’s “This Week.”At a candidate forum Friday in South Carolina, Mr. O’Malley took aim at Mr. Sanders’s longstanding identification as an independent.“I think that when President Obama was running for reelection, I was glad to step up and work very hard for him, while Senator Sanders was trying to find someone to primary him,” Mr. O’Malley said. “I am a Democrat.  I’m a lifelong Democrat.  I’m not a former independent.  I’m not a former Republican.  I believe in the party of Franklin Roosevelt, the party of John F. Kennedy.”

Both Bernie Sanders(Former Independent) and Rand Paul(former Libertarian)  have spoken out against Obama and Hilary. Both rant against war(despite underlying dichotomies in their position). Both employ Anthony Giddens’ Third Way Like Tony Blair and Bill Clinton in their proposed polity. 

But Bernie Sanders is closer to Nazi Socialism,Citation:
F.A. Hayek in his Road to Serfdom (p. 168) said:
The connection between socialism and nationalism in Germany was close from the beginning. It is significant that the most important ancestors of National Socialism—Fichte, Rodbertus, and Lassalle—are at the same time acknowledged fathers of socialism. …. From 1914 onward there arose from the ranks of Marxist socialism one teacher after another who led, not the conservatives and reactionaries, but the hard-working laborer and idealist youth into the National Socialist fold. It was only thereafter that the tide of nationalist socialism attained major importance and rapidly grew into the Hitlerian doctrine.See also his chapter 12: “The Socialist Roots of Naziism.”Von Mises in his Human Action (p. 171) said:
There are two patterns for the realization of socialism. The first pattern (we may call it the Lenin or Russian pattern) … . the second pattern (we may call it the Hindenburg or German Pattern) nominally and seemingly preserves private ownership of the means of production and keeps the appearance of ordinary markets, prices, wages, and interest rates. There are, however, no longer entrepreneurs, but only shop managers … bound to obey unconditionally the orders issued by government.This is precisely how Hitler governed when he achieved dictatorial power.In a previous blog, i referred to John J. Ray’s piece (“Hitler Was A Socialist”, and I was asked who he is. He has a Ph.D. in psychology, but taught sociology for many years. His fulsome bio is here. His article on Hitler is excellent and well researched. He has a blog on “dissecting leftism.”

Meet the Voters Who Can’t Decide Between Rand Paul or Bernie SandersThe battle for the protest vote in New Hampshire. By David WeigelJune 8, 2015 — 11:53 AM EDT

Citation:

As Slate’s Jamelle Bouie wrote this week:

Sanders won’t be the Democratic nominee. But that doesn’t mean he won’t be important. Here, it’s useful to think of Ron Paul … He helped bridge the divide between libertarians and the Republican right, and he inspired a new group of conservative and libertarian activists who have made a mark in the GOP through Paul’s son, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul. If Sanders can sustain and capture the left-wing enthusiasm for his campaign, he could do the same for progressives.

“He’s probably the most honest person on the Democratic side.” -Rand Paul Supporter Barry Devine on Bernie Sanders

Rand Paul has a personal net worth that is $999,494 higher than Bernie Sanders according to the Center for Responsive Politics. When compared to the field of 2016 presidential candidates, Paul has a net worth that is lower than the average (avg. $4M). 

Whither disaffected Democrats?

Citation: Seven months from now, that polling is going to matter to people trying to maximize their insurgent vote. In 2000, Democratic insurgent Bill Bradley lost votes to Republican insurgent John McCain, often from independents who were concerned about campaign finance reform or honesty in Washington. In 2008, the Barack Obama campaign watched some swing voters jump over to McCain—again—after polling seemed to indicate that he’d have a tougher time winning the primary than the surging Illinois Democrat. In both years, their snap decisions were worth a few thousand votes, in a contest often fought by inches.

Paul and Sanders were aware of that, but some voters were beyond their reach. In Keene, after Sanders finished his 53-minute speech and 28-minute Q&A, he waded into the crowd. Christopher Cantwell, a 35-year old anarchist, was waiting. “Senator,” he yelled, “after you take over the economy, what happens if someone with bad intentions takes it back?”

Bernie Sanders vs. Rand Paul: Who Wins the Millennial Vote?By Jesse Shayne 

Citation: As I said in January, whoever wins the presidency is going to need serious support from Millennials. Young people are generally more willing to support candidates who depart from the traditional views of the parties. So who would get the Millennial vote? Paul or Sanders?Although the candidates’ economic platforms are virtually antithetical — Sanders supports universal Medicaid and expanded Social Security, whereas Paul believes in small government and a simplified tax code — many of their policies are almost identical.

Citation: Today we compete in the era of global markets, and I say this to our Conservative opponents. There is no future for Britain as a low-wage, low-skill, low-technology economy.We will compete on the basis of quality or not at all. This means a stable economy, long-term investment, the enterprise of our people set free.First, let us get the fundamentals right. Look at the Tories - two recessions, one of which wiped out a third of our manufacturing base; borrowed their way into the record books; the pound devalued; North Sea oil money gone; all the money from asset sales gone. It is sometimes said, you know, that the Tories are cruel but they are efficient. In fact, they are the most feckless, irresponsible, incompetent managers of the British economy in this country’s history.- Tony Blair 

Blair said “My kind of socialism is a set of values based around notions of social justice … Socialism as a rigid form of economic determinism has ended, and rightly”.[5]Blair referred to it as “social-ism” that involves politics that recognized individuals as socially interdependent, and advocated social justice, social cohesion, equal worth of each citizen, and equal opportunity.[6

Citation: What is socialism? It is a politico-economic philosophy that believes government must direct all major economic decisions by command, and thus all the means of production for the greater good, however defined. There are three major divisions of socialism, all antagonistic to each other. One is democratic socialism, that places the emphasis on democratic means, but then government is a tool for improving welfare and equality. A second division is Marxist-Leninism, which based on a “scientific theory” of dialectical materialism, sees the necessity of a dictatorship (“of the proletariat”) to create a classless society and universal equality. Then, there is the third division, or state socialism. This is a non-Marxist or anti-Marxist dictatorship that aims at near absolute economic control for the purpose of economic development and national power, all construed to benefit the people.

To me personally, the simple fact is Rand Paul criticized NSA Spending, War-mongering and Hilary-Obama first. Bernie strikes me as something of a copycat in those matters.

    Rand Paul wants Government out of people’s lives(Communism in the strictest sense equals a classless society NOT one run by government(Bureaucracy) or the Capitalist class(Bourgeoisie). Think Charlie Chaplin’s Modern Times) And Bernie wants to increase Public intervention in private lives/companies/Schools. (Socialism in the Hitlerian Doctrine sense)

Fact is Private colleges and Schools in the US and everywhere else offer better quality education than their Public Rivals, the government owning everything is what was wrong with the Nazi Socialist Nationalist Regime and because Hitler couldn’t explain why giving the public cheap low quality Homogeneous Government provided goods and services was stifling INNOVATION (boosts in the economy, creativity; invention); Hitler blamed Non-Aryan minorities, mostly Jewish People.

I’m not sure but I think I met Aziz Ansari on November 6th 2012 in San Jose, while my cousins voted.Hannah’s vote for Elizabeth Warren was discounted ‘cos she voted twice and Shaan hadn’t registered online so wasn’t a registered voter and I, well, I was dealing with Aziz (or someone who bears a striking resemblance to him) explaining that I can’t vote, I’m not American. It dragged on for a while ‘cos he didn’t believe me; so I was being lectured on the necessity of young voters voting. I got brochures, one pictured above; he just didn’t believe me. Note to Self : Must carry British passport at all times.
    Anyway he told this to my aunt Ruby Khaala who went to vote later with her husband and was very upset with the “Indian Guy”. Wish I had a recording it was super-funny.  SCD lifestyle coaches “Not Doctors” improve gut health.
