US Election could lead to civil war?

  Could the US be heading towards another civil war? Will there be  war refugees from the US if there is a war? See the Atlantic article below. What does '..only if the American people acquiesce..' mean? How do the people not 'acquiesce'? Take up arms? Guns and ammunition are flying off the shelves of US gun stores. Many are setting up bunkers. Black people are forming militias. Who will be president if there are legal and constitutional issues leading to doubt about who is legally elected? Who will the military be loyal to if such a scenario arises? Trump as the incumbent will remain in charge of the military, all federal agencies, the nuclear football and The War Room up to 79 days after the election. There are no checks or balances. Even if a president goes insane, a military strike up to and including a nuclear strike can be ordered by the incumbent or his successor - on anywhere. It is alleged that when President Nixon was depressed and drinking heavily, he hinted ...

Jamaicans! TIME COME!

  You can also see my video on this topic here:  https://youtu.be/sZm5eCjwym0 As the above Gleaner graphic shows, Jamaicans believe that their politicians are the most corrupt group in Jamaica. Second to that is the police. Yet, nothing has been done about it. There has been no widescale social upheaval. In this piece, I will deal with how this situation has come about and what we can do about it. There are three areas of state power: 1.     1.   Political power - those who control the government. 2.      2.  Economic power – those who control the land, the banks and businesses. 3.      3.  Social Power – those who control the mainstream media and religion. Recently, Barbados removed the British monarch as their symbolic head of state and replaced the title of monarch with a symbolic Barbadian President. This woke up the Jamaican political leaders who had grappled with this issue before but were unable to co...

Is Jamaican Democracy at Risk?

  https://jamaica-gleaner.com/article/commentary/20230312/don-anderson-jamaican-democracy-risk The Jamaican state and its politics have been hijacked by a cabal made up of corrupt JLP/PNP politicians, a corporate elite who finances them, a corrupt police force, a loyal army and a compliant media. Jamaicans, wise to that fact, have withdrawn from the process. This withdrawal delegitimizes the whole electoral process. Normally, such a situation would give rise to new political movements but the system is set against that happening. Both parties have a lock on corporate financing as they do the bidding of the corporate elite. Both parties start with the advantage of at least 13 guaranteed garrison constituencies' support between them. The media ignores any new political movements such as the United Independents' Congress. Without media or corporate financial support it is very difficult for any new political movement to get traction. In this scenario, there should be a social expl...
