The World Reacts to the US Election

      The western elites are using their media to whip up a frenzy of anti-Trump messages here in Europe and around the world. There is a constant barrage of political cartoons and articles portraying President-elect Trump as everything from a NAZI to the devil incarnate. The “free press” still resonates here and in non- European countries. These are a few of the unbiased opinions of those who will not jump on the U.S. led western propaganda bandwagon.

     Trump's victory is beyond comprehension for Clinton supporters and the media because for so long they've failed to live in the real world where there are two sides to every story. 

      Instead of debating and engaging with people, a huge chunk of Hillary supporters decided anyone who didn't agree with them was a racist, sexist, uneducated waste of oxygen.

      Their favorite strategy in this regard was to blame Russia. Vladimir Putin became the “secret mastermind” behind Trump's successes, not the fact that millions of ordinary Americans were hurting and feeling left behind and ignored by decades of policies which never seemed to take them into account.

      I would suggest that his election from a global perspective might indeed be a move toward world peace, a greater chance of world peace at least. Hillary Clinton was such a hawk when it came to Russia, and Trump said he wants to make deals with Russia, work with Russia. We might indeed have just dodged a nuclear bullet potentially

      Trump has successfully detected, mobilised and multiplied a deep undercurrent in US politics that his opponents badly misunderstood and underestimated. In hindsight, he was surely much more apt at catching the mood of the country and speaking to the concerns of many ordinary citizens.

     “Germany and America are connected by values of democracy, freedom, and respect for the law and the dignity of man, independent of origin, skin colour, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or political views.I offer the next president of the United States close cooperation on the basis of these values.”

      The US militarism has just gone through two successive phases of two terms of Bush's neoconservative and Obama's neoliberal imperialism. It has left the earth in shattered chards. "...  we (are) the refugees of wars US liberal imperialism has caused around the world."

      The reactions of many Americans to the Trump victory is a symptom of their political immaturity. Spoiled Americans now want to flee what they created.

     The young are protesting in at least 15 major cities with those in Portland, Oregon getting violent, as reported. I wonder: is this an America of a clash of its own civilization...an America whose days of the glory of multiculturalism and diversity is dead – replaced by a system of “friendly fascism”?

      Blame is assigned and accusations made, because that is easier and more comforting than facing the fact that your view - the one echoed for so long in your self-made chamber - is not the prevailing one, or that there is a whole other narrative with which you are unfamiliar.

 -  Sharif Nashashibi

      Mainstream news media in the US and other western countries faithfully parrot the official New World Order line while neo-con / ‘liberal interventionist’ pundits provided the vast majority of the damning commentary. As with the fascism of the 1930s and 1940s, big lies are delivered with precision thanks to an omnipresent, repetitive media and its virulent censorship by omission. Their defeat in the 2016 U.S. election was a monkey wrench in their plans for the “New Amerika” and they are now scrambling with this barrage of negativity to ensure that the Trump presidency is a failure and thus proving that they are always correct.

      These are not Patriots. These are not Americans who love their country. They are the anti-Americans who rule our country's society and are hell-bent on ending the Constitutional Republic that has shined on this earth for over two centuries. We have found they enemy and the enemy is us.
