He lives in the LA Area and our paths have crossed. He's a bright guy. <br /><br />I find the cause and effect of American hegemony and the distracted "fundamental transformation of America" that Obama's distorted perceptions have tried to accomplish in our Great March, headed by Obama, himself, to have predictable results. <br /><br />The Utopian "world order" as envisioned by the internationalists has run headlong into nationalism (BREXIT, Trump, and similar movements across Europe), and we don't know where it will end up, but we have a multi-polar world now. What used to be the US and Soviet Russia is many centers of power, with influence ebbing and flowing. Barack doesn't get it and neither does Hillary because they are myopic narcissists. To be fair, Trump doesn't get it yet, but I think that his advisors have a grasp and that's what matters for the moment.LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538854359365988863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533651942397782565.post-45982625975218919932016-08-18T12:58:40.840-07:002016-08-18T12:58:40.840-07:00I keep telling my kids that although times change,...I keep telling my kids that although times change, people don't, and thus you can learn an enormous amount from history.c w swansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02735507642689652780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533651942397782565.post-80287909256136452582016-08-18T12:17:05.769-07:002016-08-18T12:17:05.769-07:00I'm reading: "Those Angry Days" by: ...I'm reading: "Those Angry Days" by: Lynne Olson. It brilliant depicts in detail the American political dominated era from the early 1930's up to WW-II and the fight between the Isolationists (Lindbergh) & the Pro-Aid to Britain (Roosevelt). Lots of stuff that parallels todays struggle between National interests and globalism.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
