As
a registered member of the Democratic Party I can claim no blind party allegiance
to Donald Trump.. However above and beyond "party affiliation" are
the Values of Truth, Humanism (Not "humanitarianism"), as well as the
expertise I acquired as an Academician, learning as a grad student, and serving
and teaching as a Professor at IV Institutions ranging from the University of
Pennsylvania, to Case Western Reserve University, to my last place of service Villanova University, to my
first rookie humble- but close to the people and reality of black, unemployed, discriminated and deprived America- first place of service "Community College
of Philadelphia" as well as another College, “Dyke”, in Cleveland where the
unemployed and deprived were seeking learning and heat for the Winter, under
subsidized programs of the Carter administration.
I
can not "forget" what I have learned studying, teaching and
researching, I can not forget my long winters at the U of P, my one in 10 years
worst winter in Cleveland at CWRU, nor can I forget the side by side winters with students
ranging from driving “expensive cars” to those taking the bus at North Broad and Venango streets in (deprived)
Philly.
Thus
I can not denounce my identity synthesized by both study and field experience ,
and I can not turn my identity as a
scientist, as a citizen and as a statesman into a sold "propaganda
instrument"..
Thus
I never “swallowed” the evil nonsense of Globalization and the
Criminal implementation of “Europe”.
“The” Europe of Globalization and not “The Europe of the People.
Analyzing Trump’s speech I have noted specific issues
that are crucial not only to America , but to the Entire World with possible
benefits for Hellas (GR)
At
its very start the issue of “ WE THE
PEOPLE.” (1),(2) The
world of Globalization, the way it was implemented, proved that it was not for
the people but for those who designed it. Those of us that listen to the
sounds of their own drummer realizing that the New Order was not to serve the
people but those who designed it, to remain fixed and consistent with our values of Democracy, could not, and did not, join the mob of “The Statistical mode.”
At
the very start it is also posted that the United States will have America First
but will not isolate itself as Trump’s
rivals want to argue. The speech determines that BOTH will be done: the US will
determine itself (3) and the world (4)
To understand “Truths and Fallacies” we should look back to the U.S. starting with the aftermath of World War II. The Globalization of at the Time PAX AMERICANA, of The American Hegemony, followed its simple but absolutely effective Keynesian Strategy. It “created money”. The non specialists saw it as “the rich giving to the poor”, and on that postulate America built allegiances , the Pax Americana and the Western US Block vs the Eastern block of The USSR. Regardless of what was presented to the “innocent natives” what the US did was to print money or make grants (such as the today's Greek ESPA), that were not the peoples money, nor a debt, not a burden to the US taxpayers (contrary to what today’s European BS fraudulent postulate claims). Thus the world has the financial instrument to “develop”, and the US conquered the Western Market. The US was not only passing “Purchasing Power” (by creating money) through giving out grants as the Marshall plan (funds that were present in Greece through the late ETBA) , but was also purchasing raw materials from all European -and other- Countries moving them as well to develop their own “intrastate” infrastructure and production, thus developing their own “industrial complex” and “input output model”.
This was a very effective policy to establish a
Pax Americana, with strong alliances and concurrent development cycles of the allied
countries. That indicates that their exist Policies, economic, financial and
geopolitical that can concurrently satisfy and serve the goals of American
First, (3), serving the world (4) through Protectionism (18)
Hellas has been a perfect implementation model.
We are not ignoring the pitfalls of the unfair
distribution, the regional imbalances, and the dependency on “foreign decision
centers” that were dictating what each Country will develop (as the Greek for
ex. mines of Mantoudi Evia did develop), what wealth will be illegal to touch
(such as the Gold, oil and gas reserves of Hellas (GR) in Zakinthos, Thesprotia
etc.
But never through this first phase Pax Americana
that brought us to the New Order (that ended the first phase Pax Americana) inaugurated by the fisrt Bush Administration
(Republican), never before, Pax Americana enforced policies that were aiming to
alienate the world, the people, and Mankind such as those implemented by
Globalization and the instrument called fictitiously “European Union”.
GLOBALIZATION with its repulsive implementation
on the ficticiously called “European Union” allegedly enforcing the neoliberal
model of Global Free market Competition, resulted in what we earmarked as 13,14,15,16,17, items
of Trump’s Speech. What did the world
experience from the implementation of “Globalization”? Each Country’s
production infrastructure INDUSTRAIL COMPEX and INPUT OUTPUT MODEL was “disintegrated” (6) (14),
The middle class vanished (17),, its wealth was depleted or repossessed, really
“ripped off” (17) , practical looted from the globalization implemented
polices, and the world became a chaotic Babylonia
without borders (14, 18) sunk in poverty, unemployment (6), crime and an educational system (11) having as a
goal the “closing of the mind.
The surprising aftermath of Globalization is
that the impact globalization had the same results on both: the -based on square mile defined “small
size” countries like Hellas, and the Hegemony Super Power The United States Of
America.
Globalization much be a comparable to a deadly virus that kills both strong and
weak, grown and babies, tall and short, fat and slim, black, white, yellow, Greeks,
American Indians, Chinese, and all,
including …”leprechauns”. (*)
The tool to implement such a plague can be found
in those who “benefited” from it. (5),(7),(8),
There is a tremendous similarity in all
countries, including Hellas (GR).There was everywhere a cast of “praetorians”
ranging from crooks, to mentally and/or ethically deprived, with little or no resistance
to implement evil on “the People”. The system was to serve them.
Trump (9), (10), restores the idea of Patriotism. The Country
is to serve the People not the “mania” of globalization that psychopaths and/or
lackeys were recruited
and assigned to implement.
The idea of the
nation as a “ideal but real
untouchable but tangible entity” that unites people under compatible ideals and
goals was discredited by the Globalization propaganda in every possible way. It
was equated to sovinism and fasism so to discourage patriots to identify
themselves as such, and was turned to a criminal action as purposely confused
and enforced as discrimination, calling upon the courts to imprison patriots.
Trump (9), (10),
(21) (22) (23) places Patriotism in
its correct definition..
Patriotism has
nothing to do with fascism, chauvinism, racism, or discrimination. Such
positions are of the evil and aim to disintegrate every element that keeps the people “united” , “together”, “strong”,
“proud” and “safe” as Trumps closing remarks underline.
Post Script :
The repulsive monster of Globalization hopefully
is reaching its end. “Local reps” are wisely advised not to rush, to serve that
monster more and more. The end of evil is coming .
Trumps intention to re-enforce old alliances (19) is an opportunity for Hellas, that need though Real Leaders to take advantage of it on a win-win basis with the United States.

========================================================
"Chief
Justice Roberts, President Carter, President Clinton, President Bush, President
Obama, fellow Americans and people of the world, thank you.
We, the citizens of America (1), are now joined (2) in a great national effort to rebuild our country and restore its
promise for all of our people.
Together,
we will determine the course of America
(3) and the world
(4) for
many, many years to come. We will face challenges. We will confront hardships.
But we will get the job done.
Every
four years we gather on these steps to carry out the orderly and peaceful
transfer of power.
And
we are grateful to President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama for their
gracious aid throughout this transition.
They
have been magnificent.
Thank
you.
Today's
ceremony, however, has a very special meaning because today we are not merely transferring power from one
administration to another or from one party to another, but we are transferring
power from Washington, D.C., and giving it back to you, the people. (5)
For too long, a small group in our
nation's capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have
bore the cost. Washington flourished, but the people did not share in its
wealth.
Politicians prospered but the jobs left and
the factories closed. (6)
The establishment protected itself, but
not the citizens of our country(7) Their victories have not been your victories. Their
triumphs have not been your triumphs. And while they celebrated in our nation's
capital, there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our
land.(8)
That
all changes starting right here and right now, because this moment is your
moment.
It
belongs to you.
It
belongs to everyone gathered here today and everyone watching all across
America.
This
is your day.
This
is your celebration.
And
this, the United States of America, is
your country.(9)
What
truly matters is not which party controls our government, but whether our
government is controlled by the people.
January
20th, 2017, will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this
nation again.
The
forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer. Everyone is
listening to you now. You came by the tens of millions to become part of a
historic movement, the likes of which the world has never seen before.
At
the center of this movement is a crucial conviction that a nation exists to serve its citizens.(10)
Americans
want great schools for their children, safe neighborhoods for their families
and good jobs for themselves.
These
are just and reasonable demands of righteous people and a righteous public.
But
for too many of our citizens, a different reality exists.
Mothers
and children trapped in poverty in our inner cities, rusted out factories
scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation.
An education system flush with cash but which leaves
our young and beautiful students deprived of all knowledge (11).
And
the crime (12)
and the gangs and the drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our
country of so much unrealized potential. This American carnage stops right here
and stops right now.
We
are one nation, and their pain is our pain.
Their
dreams are our dreams, and their success will be our success. We share one
heart, one home and one glorious destiny.
The
oath of office I take today is an oath of allegiance to all Americans.
For many decades we've enriched foreign
industry at the expense of American industry, subsidized the armies of other
countries while allowing for the very sad depletion of our military. (13)
.
We've defended other nations' borders
while refusing to defend our own. And we've spent trillions and trillions of
dollars overseas while America's infrastructure has fallen into disrepair and
decay. (14)
We've made other countries rich while
the wealth, strength and confidence of our country has dissipated over the horizon. (15)
.
One by one, the factories shuttered and
left our shores with not even a thought about the millions and millions of
American workers that were left behind. (16)
.
The wealth of our middle class
(17)has been ripped from their homes and then redistributed all across the
world. But that is the past, and now we are looking only to the future.(17)
We
assembled here today are issuing a new decree to be heard in every city, in
every foreign capital and in every hall of power. From this day forward, a new
vision will govern our land.
From
this day forward, it's going to be only America first, America first. Every
decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs will be made to
benefit American workers and American families. We must protect our borders
from the ravages of other countries making our product, stealing our companies
and destroying our jobs.
Protection
(18)
will lead to great prosperity and strength. I will fight for you with every breath
in my body, and I will never ever let you down.
America
will start winning again, winning like never before.
We
will bring back our jobs. (18)
We
will bring back our borders. (18)
We
will bring back our wealth, and we will bring back our dreams.
We
will build new roads and highways and bridges and airports and tunnels and
railways all across our wonderful nation.
We
will get our people off of welfare and back to work, rebuilding our country
with American hands and American labor.
We
will follow two simple rules: Buy American and hire American.
We
will seek friendship and goodwill with the nations of the world, but we do so
with the understanding that it is the right of all nations to put their own
interests first.
We
do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone, but rather to let it shine as
an example.
We
will shine for everyone to follow.
We will re-enforce old alliances (19)
and form new ones and unite the civilized world against radical Islamic
terrorism, which we will eradicate completely from the face of the earth.
At
the bedrock of our politics will be a total
allegiance to the United States of America, and through our loyalty to our
country we will rediscover our loyalty to each other. (20)
When
you open your heart to patriotism (21), there is no room
for prejudice.
The
Bible tells us how good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in
unity. We must speak our minds openly, debate our disagreements honestly, but
always pursue solidarity. When America is united, America is totally unstoppable.
There should be no fear. We are protected and we will always be protected. We
will be protected by the great men and women of our military and law
enforcement. And most importantly, we will be protected by God.
Finally,
we must think big and dream even bigger.(22) In America, we understand that a nation
is only living as long as it is striving. We will no longer accept politicians
who are all talk and no action, constantly complaining but never doing anything
about it.
The
time for empty talk is over. Now arrives the hour of action.
Do not allow anyone to tell you that it cannot be done..(22) No
challenge can match the heart and fight and spirit of America. We will not
fail. Our country will thrive and prosper again.
We
stand at the birth of a new millennium, ready to unlock the mysteries of space,
to free the earth from the miseries of disease, and to harness the energies,
industries and technologies of tomorrow.
A
new national pride will stir ourselves, lift our sights and heal our divisions.
It's time to remember that old wisdom our soldiers will never forget, that
whether we are black or brown or white, we all bleed the same red blood of
patriots.
We
all enjoy the same glorious freedoms and we all salute the same great American
flag.
And
whether a child is born in the urban sprawl of Detroit or the windswept plains
of Nebraska, they look up at the same night sky, they fill their heart with the
same dreams and they are infused with the breath of life by the same almighty
creator.
So
to all Americans in every city near and far, small and large, from mountain to
mountain, from ocean to ocean, hear these words: You will never be ignored
again. Your voice, your hopes and your dreams will define our American destiny.
And your courage and goodness and love will forever guide us along the way.
Together
we will make America strong again,
we will make America wealthy again,
we will make America proud again, we
will make America safe again.
And,
yes, together we will make America great again.
Thank
you.
God
bless you.
And God bless
America."
