America : Becoming An Embarassment.

http://ourtimeiscome.com/2016/03/15/america-becoming-an-embarasment/

Living in a third world country we have all too often been lectured by the United States on the principles of democracy and the will of the people. U.S President Barack Obama, in his last visit to Africa spent a great deal of time lecturing African leaders on true democratic governance, respecting the will of the people and not interfering with the electoral process. African countries have all too often been subject to economic sanctions over ”electoral malpractices”. As the proverbial saying goes ”This is a case of pot calling kettle black.

The United States of America is arguably the most admired and imitated country in human history, and as such its political elections are followed by millions around the world. In the past couple of months the world has witnessed with dismay unrelenting attacks against the GOP front runner Donald Trump. From the mainstream media to the political establishment Donald Trump has been subjected to biased one sided propaganda attacks despite the fact that the overwhelming majority of the electorate want Donald Trump. As the attacks grow in intensity so too does his poll numbers which has seen him win State after State. This has the political establishment on both sides (Demorat and Republican) utterly confused, in disarray and determined to bring him own even if it means disenfranchising millions of Americans voters.

Today (March 15 2016) as Americans go to the polls there are already reports of electoral irregularities in Florida, a delegate rich state. A win in Florida might make Trumps path to nomination unstoppable. There are reports of technical glitches and logistical mishaps in polling booths in Florida. Voters in the Orlando suburb were turned away over unavailability of ballot boxes. There are reports of Donald Trumps name not being on the majority of ballots at some polling stations. Florida is of strategic importance to any candidate wishing to win the nomination. Florida’s primary has 99 delegates up for grabs in its winner-take-all contest. So far Trump has 460 of the 1,237 delegates needed to win the nomination outright.

The world is watching in total dismay as America, the bastion of democracy openly tries to rig and derail the election of a man the establishment hates and the people love. This reminds me of Florida in 2001 when George Bush had the election rigged in his favour in the State of Florida against Al-Gore. It is becoming evident the Establishment elite is out to disenfranchise millions of American voters, if that is what it takes to prevent Donald Trump from winning the Republican nomination. This is borderline wrong and anyone who believes the ”technical glitches” explanation deserves to be disenfranchised in any case.

America, the land of the free is drowning in the same corruption she arrogantly accuses world growing democracies of engaging in. The total disrespect of the American constitution and disregard of the wishes of the American people and the corruption of the political system by greedy Wallstreet and Special Interest lobbyist is unparalleled in American history. The disturbing aspect of all this is that the effort by these corrupt cronies,aided by the media (CNN) to bring down Donald Trump is so brazen that they throw it smack right in the face of the American public.

It is unbelievable. The American establishment along with its corrupt co-hort, the media should let the people decide for themselves.
