America's Election Is The Biggest Threat To The Aristocracy 
And Biggest Opportunity For U.S. Voters, Since At Least 1932

The historical significance of the 2016 U.S. Presidential contest isn’t yet generally recognized. Consider the evidence regarding this historical significance, in the links that will be provided here, and from which the argument here is constructed:

For the first time ever, a Republican campaign ad against Hillary Clinton is entirely truthful about her and focuses on the most important issue facing voters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4LKAt1t_8M.

For the first time since 1932, an American Presidential campaign presents an opportunity for the public to overthrow thearistocracy.

And, for the first time in U.S. history, a realistic possibility exists that the voters’ choice between the two Parties’ Presidential nominees might turn out to be between two enemies of the aristocracy: Bernie Sanders versus Donald Trump.

However, if it turns out instead to be between Trump v. Clinton, then what will be the aristocratic backing of each?

On Clinton’s side will be Wall Street — and this includes the ‘shadow banks’ (the non-“bank” sellers of what Bill Clinton and the Republicans caused to become unregulated credit derivatives), from which Hillary Clinton is also receiving donations, and from which the Clinton Foundation is supported and overseen — along with other Clinton funders).

Clearly, this is the first Presidential contest since 1932 in which the interests of the aristocracy versus the interests of the public will be presented to the voters, for them to decide which of the two sides they’re actually on.

And, if the election turns out to be between Trump versus Sanders, then this will be the first U.S. Presidential election ever in which both of the major-Party nominees will have committed themselves to policies (Trump clearly on foreign affairs, Sanders clearly on domestic affairs) that the aristocracy vigorously oppose, and that present a severe threat to the aristocrats' continued rule of the country.

By Abdus Sattar Ghazali

Seven-million strong American Muslim community is alarmed at the mounting anti-Islam and anti-Muslim rhetoric by Republican Presidential hopefuls, particularly leading GOP candidate Donald Trump. An unprecedented wave of Islamophobia is now sweeping the United States as the Republican Party has become the epicenter of Islamophobia this election season


Media Monsters: Militarism, Violence, And Cruelty In Children's Culture 
By Heidi Tilney Kramer

http://www.countercurrents.org/karmer130316.htm

We are undergoing a paradigm shift of monumental proportions wherein some are awakening to possibilities on a dimming horizon. Doing so has never been more imperative because our very survival depends on seeing what is true: that we are more alike than we are different and that the "have nots" have a my-voice-matters stake in which way life proceeds. It is time for us, "the 99%," to stand against the media and political giants engaged in separating us from one another. God bless the whole world:NO EXCEPTIONS


“Last” Days Of Maduro, And A Coup Is In The Offing In Venezuela: MSM Prognostications 
By Farooque Chowdhury

http://www.countercurrents.org/chowdhury130316.htm

It would have been nice for the world system had Maduro, the president of Venezuela and the arch enemy of the system, failed. But Maduro has failed to fail. He is still holding high the standard of Bolivarian revolution. But the world system is in dire need of his failures. To facilitate much desired failure, the mainstream media (MSM) intensify propaganda of all sorts against Maduro. Two MSM headings are thus born: The last days of Maduro, and a coup is in the offing in Venezuela

Genuine national interest may dictate that laws on data/digital privacy protection and cyber security be urgently enacted and linked with the Aadhaar Bill, before it becomes operational in the public sphere


World Culture Festival Raises Several Ethical Questions 
By Dr. Vivek Kumar Srivastava

http://www.countercurrents.org/vks130316.htm

All Indians value their environment. India was the first country in the world where the first environmental movement led by Amrita Devi was launched against the royalty of the Jodhpur king. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and his Art of Living foundation MUST learn some environmental ethics from these GREAT women of the country. In this background none should be allowed to be made bigger than the environmental parameters and all should follow the basic premises of the environmental ethics. IT IS OUR FUNDAMENTAL DUTY. There is no need to be prideful for anyone as history judges all in a critical manner


Why Intellectuals Need The Party? : Submissions To Makrand Paranjpe 
By Mithilesh Kumar

http://www.countercurrents.org/mk130316.htm

The point I am trying to make here is that the form of a party and its need in a radical and revolutionary struggle came at a certain historical moment. If Paranjpe does not feel any need to be associated with a party he has to also demonstrate that the historical moment of party is now over. The task would then be to think about these new forms and see if the new forms are actually novel or are they simply old or a hybrid. This is one way of understanding the transition in politics that we are witnessing now


Why Kanhaiya Kumar’s Bail Order Is No Exception 
To The ‘Strange Ways Of Indian Judiciary’ 
By Radhakrishnan Puthenveetil

http://www.countercurrents.org/rp130316.htm

The purpose of having judges in courts is to find solutions to legal and social problems; but if the judges themselves become problems, who will find the solutions? Stated differently, if law is an ass, what could be its ambience, what of its abhorrent practitioners and their victims in society?
