As the US Presidential election gets going with early indications that there are two clear front-runners for the Democrats and up to five on the Republican side, what difference does it make who wins because the ranks of the lobbies will close like a vice around the first past the post? In the US pack of cards, the Great American Dream is a bluff.

Remember Barack Obama in 2008? Remember his promises for "Change"? Remember the insightful cartoon released at the time showing a giggling Obama standing among the Elites in Washington laughing their socks off with the caption: "Change! Did you say Change??" Remember when the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Barack Obama in anticipation of a "Change" in US direction abroad?

And what was this "Change"? Internally, and let us remember that it is the people of the United States of America who elect their President, not those of the Middle East, Europe, Mongolia, Burkina Faso or Laos - and let us remember that the jurisdiction of the US President is supposed to begin and end on America's shores - "Change" was supposed to mean a move from politics dominated by the Anglo-Irish elites in Washington DC and a move towards today's US population, meaningful policies protecting the homes and jobs and families of grass-roots citizens, going about their lives, obeying the rules, paying their taxes, going to church, doing everything that is asked of them, respecting their communities and expecting something back in return.

The Bush philosophy: Bomb the crap out of them

"Change" abroad was supposed to be a move away from the "Bomb the crap out of them" Bush doctrine, invading countries without a mandate, targeting infrastructure with military equipment, slaughtering hundreds of thousands of people, destroying States, rendering over half the working population unemployed, millions homeless, millions of orphans, swathes of territory radioactive, then billionaire reconstruction contracts handed out among the elitist buddy network representing the Evil Six Lobbies (banking, energy, food, finance, pharmaceuticals, weapons) and a few morsels and crumbs tossed to the willing EuroPoodles led by the Heroes of Colonialism, the other two prongs of the FUKUS Axis, France and UK.

If the United States of America were a truly democratic country with truly democratic institutions and systems, then a promise for Change would be held accountable by the people along with the person making that promise. What will happen in November? Barack Hussein Obama will wave his way out of the White House accompanied by his family, grins on their faces as they gracefully walk into a Life-after-the-Presidency chicken run of 100,000-USD after-dinner speeches. He might ask himself how much Change he has brought the USA and he might have to sit in silence for an eternity waiting for an answer.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is the United States of America in 2016. There is as much chance of Change taking place after the next election as there is of a Mongolian herdsman suddenly donning a bowler hat and breaking into a raucous Cockney version of Boiled Beef n' Carrots.

Who is who in the US Pack

And now down to the US Presidential Election, 2016. The Ace of Spades should be Jeb Bush, if only to spite his brother's disastrous invasion of Iraq and where it put his country in terms of international derision and disrespect but Jeb Bush is as charismatic as a moribund, leprous slug lying under a tonne of salt, so let us reshuffle the pack and state that if Sanders really thinks he has a shot against Hillary Clinton with the weight of the lobbies behind her, then he is either a delusional fool or else lives in cloud cuckoo land. The Ace of Spades is Hillary Clinton, whose feathers in the cap in four years of foreign policy were to support terrorists in the overthrow of Colonel Gaddafy, siding with those who sliced the breasts off women in the streets and destroying the State with the highest Human Development Index in Africa. Because the lobbies told her to (because Gaddafy's African Union was starting to bite and hurt in terms of loss of revenue).

...

As everyone knows it is not the Primaries and the Caucuses that elect the Presidential candidate, so it is not the People, it is the lobbies which maneuver two options into place, both right of center, and close ranks behind and around the winner and if the winner doesn't play ball, it is around his balls that the vice starts to tighten. In Hillary's case, she doesn't have any balls but then again she doesn't need any: she is (HAS?) the lobbies.
