Now that Lady Shakara seems to be on the upward bounce / on a winning streak, we will soon be reading the next instalment from Democrat Activist David Harrison about what he has labelled “ Our Unfinished Work”
All roads lead to Rome. Gathering more dust, the Presidential Campaign is now at the beginning of the do-or-die stage, at the beginning of the end, after which one of the principal protagonists will be on the way to oblivion or on the path to becoming the leader of the opposition, or worst case scenario, on the path to eternal perdition. As Trump has been saying for some time now “ Our country is going to hell ! ”
Here’s the list of The world's democracies by country
All over the world, elections come and go without so much fanfare: The United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, India (the world’s most populous democracy) Nigeria, Iran, Australia, South Africa, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Ghana, Senegal, Pakistan etc.
What is it about the United States that makes people all over the world stay up all night, makes those of us in Sweden to set the alarm clock to wake us up at 2.50 a.m. to watch Trump vs “the underdog” - the female underdog, on Swedish TV, battling it out at the National Constitution Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as if our very lives, our love, our daily bread, our security, our future , our heaven depends on it? You hear Trump talking about the possibility of World War Three ( if Lady Kamala is the Commander-in-Chief who is sitting “Side-saddle on the Golden Calf”, you hear Trump talking about WW3 and you hear your neighbour who you love as dearly as you love yourself, yelping - “ Oh my God !” -
“You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins” - Masters of War
Dear holy hedonist, you hear any prophecy that WW3 is just around the corner and like Marvell you know there will be no escaping the nuclear fire, sadly, “And into ashes all my lust”, because we understand that WW3 will start in the Middle East and Europe simultaneously and that although no worries Kamala may believe that her beloved family & flock are safely, very far away from the epicentre of the military operations in Ukraine, Gaza, and the West Bank, she should incline her ear to these lines from “Death to Van Gogh’s Ear :
“Money has reckoned the soul of America
Congress broken thru the precipice of Eternity
the president built a War machine which will vomit and rear Russia out of Kansas
The American Century betrayed by a mad Senate which no longer sleeps with its wife.”
As the late Ultra-Russian nationalist Vladimir Zhirinovsky said when Elisabeth Rehn was appointed Minister of Defence of Finland , “ I do not respect a country that appoints a woman as its Minister of Defence ! ” What would the Zhirinovskys and the Ahmadinejads not be saying tomorrow if Kamala H were to assume the position of commander-in-Chief of the USA’s awesome military and was hellbent in trying to show some muscle ?
Some things to consider:
The Pledge of Allegiance has the ideal of “one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
Yet the Evangelicals will tell you, “Satan is the god of this world”
Quoting their Bible, the Evangelicals also ask, ”What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”
Lashon hara: here in black and white you have someone in Shiva Naipaul’s North of South dissing Ngugi’s people : “They will sell their grandmothers if you give them a chance.” And what about “ Money has reckoned the soul of America”?
The answers lie herein :
“While money doesn’t talk, it swears
Obscenity, who really cares
Propaganda, all is phoney” (It’s Alright, Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)
Clearly that $500 million in Kamala’s Campaign War chest is not talking, it’s swearing. Truth being the first casualty of war - any war, including US Presidential Election Battles, we need look no further than the venue in question, at which, far from being even-handed, the moderators seemed to have bene stacked up against Trump, for instance not even mentioning that but for the grace/ Divine Intervention of Almighty God, dear Trump would not have been standing there in person because much earlier on, he would have been terminated by the assassin’s bullets. Now, if it had been Kamala that had escaped death by the whiskers , no doubt about it, the moderators would have probably requested a minute's silence and some thanksgiving prayers and more ad misericordiams right there in the studio before the commencement of the hostilities they were being paid to moderate.
After last night’s first Trump - Harris Debate it’s doubtful that there’s going to be a second / second round / second Trump - Harris Debate even after the necessary damage control has been done - and the only way to do the necessary damage control is by fact-checking all the spurious claims that were made by the brazen Kamala Harris last night. As we all know, by popular definition, the word “lawyer” is perilously close - no “auditory hallucination” - is very perilously close to sounding like the other word, her twin partner: ”liar”. Verily, they can be said to be “ birds of a feather” , not “unevenly yoked” but metaphorically speaking, welded together in some kind of unholy matrimony.
But let everybody be protected, please. As Caesar once said, “ Danger knows full well. That Caesar is more dangerous than he. We are two lions littered in one day,. And I the elder and more terrible”
We know what the Pentecostal pastors and the Muslim prayer sheiks have told us about “the primrose path to the everlasting bonfire” ,we also know the well-trodden campaign trail that leads to the White House is strewn with all kinds of bobbytraps, mirages, misinformation, defamation etc that have to be sidestepped and that it ( The White House) is always finally captured after the final battle, when the victory is rewarded with the Oval Office for the next four years.
Right now, Trump could be singing along with Peter, Paul, and Mary & the Evangelicals, “ All My Trials, Lord, soon be over “
Once again, the fact is that “the best laid plans of mice and men aft gang agley”
And very finally, N.B.: It ain't over till the fat lady sings

Last night / early this morning Stockholm time, the ultimate scare was the extremist scare-mongering doomsday Prophet Trump telling the world that “Israel won't exist for more than a maximum of two more years if Kamala Harris wins the US Presidential Election”, and that “Kamala Harris hates Israel”.
Such a bombastic statement coming from Trump the power behind the scenes, a main author, engineer and signatory of the Abraham Accords must have sounded like divine music to the ears of Iran’s Supreme Leader and at the same time could have really scared some unholy excreta out of the behinds of some of the settlers in Judea & Samaria, I understand the usual expression to be must have "scared them shitless", settlers who may not have an iota of Bitachon in their hearts, speak less of those who believe that Uncle Sam is only a fairweather friend.
Obviously, Trump's “ Israel will cease to exist if Kamala wins” pitch is calculated to win AIPAC’s loving embrace and support of Trump as Israel's best US presidential candidate, friend, lover, protector and defender, whilst simultaneously demonising Kamala - ”frailty, thy name is woman “, the wannabe Jezebel, Delilah and HAMAN of the United States of America. But if his tarring and feathering his rival Kamala in such treacherous colours were to be believed, wouldn’t Trump have thereby pushed the Arab & other pro-Palestinian, anti-Zion and anti-Semitic Muslims to vote for Kamala en masse, as the lesser of two evils / the better of the two d-evils in the race, in the belief that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" ?
Naturally, in all of this US Presidential Election hoopla, the Pan - Africanist is inclined to wonder, what’s in it for Africa? I wonder after taking a good look at this map
So, to complement last night’s debate it should be interesting to stage stress-free, 90-minute frank and cordial head-to-head discussions @ e.g. The Toyin Falola Interviews, featuring some more movers and shakers, for instance, a 90-minute frank and cordial head-to-head discussion featuring Ojogbon Falola and Trump, another discussion featuring Kamala Harris and e.g. Joshua Maponga as her interlocutor, and with all infrastructure development being fostered by China in Africa, the recent anti-French and anti-West developments in Niger, Burkina Faso, Mali, Senegal with the aforementioned countries turning to Russia, the various wars in Sudan, Congo, the horn of Africa, conflict and insecurity problems in various other parts of Africa as background, the main theme of these discussions being, USA, What Are Your Practical Intentions For Africa?

The late Madeleine Albright on US-Israel Relations: “The foundation of relations between our two countries has always been rock solid” - until Kamala Harris snubbed Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to the US Congress. She boycotted the event, said she had a prior engagement with the girls at her sorority. Reminiscent of the opening of the Malcolm X 1963 Unity Rally in Harlem and the various excuses tendered by those who said that they could not attend.
Ideally, if Israel were to be officially incorporated into full membership of the United States, as the 51st State, then “ Donald Trump or Kamala Harris - who would be best for Israel ?” is the kind of question that they would be best suited to answer, assuming that collectively, they would then be better qualified at assessing what could be best for their own good.
Trump’s doomsday warning that “ Kamala Harris hates Israel” and - GOD FORBID - that
“if Kamala wins Israel will cease to exist within two years”, these two statements are clearly calculated to influence the outcome of this Presidential Election. To increase the effect of his message, he could have added, ”Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
We are to assume that the diversity of the circa 7 million diaspora “American Jews” / “Jewish Americans” - most of the religious ones , so called “reform” “ Conservative” and “Reconstructionist” (their conversions are not halachically recognised in Israel) does not mean that they are less committed to the future of their own people in the name of Peoplehood
There is little doubt about Trump’s commitment ; we have to consider that Kamala on the other hand - her Jewish spouse notwithstanding, still belongs to the same political lineage as Jimmy Carter, Barack Hussein Obama and her boss, Obama’s protégé Joe Biden who made the sign of the cross in Prime Minister Netanyahu’s office in Jerusalem, during his last visit. It’s an open secret that there was no love lost between Barack Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu during Obama's Presidency - although to his credit, it was Obama that provided Israel with the Iron Dome….
Those in doubt could begin with Kamala Harris’ speech to AIPAC in 2017
US Presidents at the Western Wall
Israel currently on a war footing and a more tense security situation could perhaps not make it possible for Kamala to fly over to Israel - as is customary for some of the wannabe presidents of the United States to kiss The Western Wall / Kotel and thereby (hopefully) declare their allegiance to the Almighty…
