The System We Have Is One That

Modern Authoritarianism, As It's Growing Inside Europe And Now Coming To The United States, Rests Much More On The Use Of Power To Protect The Guilty Than To Persecute The Innocent. And Its Motive Is Not Crazy Totalitarian Utopianism, It's Motive Is Repressive Kleptocracy. To Steal And To Use The Powers Of The State To Protect Theft.

I Do Think Hillary Clinton, I Mean The Clintons, I`ve Got A Lot Of Critiques Of The Clinton Foundation. I Do Think They Bend The Law. But Hillary Clinton Accepts The Concept Of Legality, She Accepts That Courts Are Supreme, Laws Must Be Complied With And The Power Of The State Is Not To Be Used For Persona Revenge Or Personal Enrichment. And That`s Something - Not Something I Trust Donald Trump To Do.

I Keep Telling My American Friends, "if You Think Of Donald Trump As Only Something That Is Happening Inside The United States, You're Missing It." Because There Are Trump-like Events Happening Across The Western World, In Warsaw Pact Countries, In France, Germany, Austria, The Netherlands. As We Speak, The Second-largest Party In The Dutch Legislature - Who's More Level-headed Than The Dutch? - Is Geert Wilders's Party, Which Is A Very Trump-like Party, And They've Got 33 Out Of 150 Seats.

I'm A Latecomer To The Environmental Issue, Which For Years Seemed To Me Like An Excuse For More Government Regulation. But I Can See That In Rich Societies, Voters Are Paying Less Attention To Economic Issues And More To Issues Of The Spirit, Including The Environment.

Donald Trump Didn't Have A Polling Operation Until Very Late In His Campaign. How Did He Know What To Do? That The Ted Cruz People Leaked Their Polls To Trump Because They Were Looking Forward To Eliminating All The Other Rivals, Clearing The Way For A Cruz-trump Fight That They Were Certain Cruz Would Win. In The End, Cruz Was The Last Man Standing, It's True. If He Had Known At The Beginning What He Knew At The End, He Might Have Thought Twice. The Congressional Republican Party Thought They Could Make Trump Their Tool To Impose Their Very Unpopular Agenda. Instead, They Became His Tool.
