We write as the New York Times has finally found damning evidence that Donald Trump is not the billionaire, successful businessman, he has always presented himself to be – some of us were long aware of this. He may be nearer to being a tax cheat. On the other side of the electoral ledger, Trump has fortuitously found Amy Barrett to buttress his position when (not if) the elections are thrown into the Supreme Court.

Currently, a range of polls have Joe Biden leading almost everywhere. Nationally, he leads Trump by between eight (8) and ten (10) points. In the six (6) to eight (8) battleground states, Biden has leads greater than the margins of error in about five (5) to six (6) of them. Trump leads in one (1) or two (2) and there are a few where there are statistical ties. There is some significant enlargement of the electoral map (battleground states) as states like Texas and Georgia beckon as if ‘fool’s gold’ for Democrats. These are where every election is won or lost.

Presidential elections in America, in recent times – yes, but throughout their history, have been bedevilled by all manner of fraud – on all sides, at different times, but particularly by Republicans, currently, so as to compensate for being the less populace of the two major parties, which it has become. Exit polling, the gold standard for elections, as the highly reliable measure for predicting outcomes and detecting fraud have often failed to avoid the opposite results within the American context. Unlike pre-election polling, no guesswork is required for exit polling which is globally deployed.

In the 2000 presidential elections George Bush, number two (2), was able to defeat Al Gore when the Supreme Court, which Trump has now stacked with loyalists, intervened and threw the elections to Bush. Of course, the Florida Republican Secretary of State, Katherine Harris, had already prepared the ground by removing tens of thousands of Afrikan-American voters from the rolls in strategic areas – they could not vote. If you were Black, with a criminal record, and your name was Brown all the Browns in your immediate areas were therewith removed from the voter rolls. This remains a central Republican voter suppression tactic.

This preparation of the battleground, as if for war, has been, all this time, going on behind the scenes by well-paid soldiers who know that their boss, Trump, never wants to be seen as a ‘loser’. Trump as the out-and-out fraudster and well aware of all the historic electoral shenanigans will be hard to be persuaded by what he sees as meaningless traditions. It should not be doubted that new systems of election rigging are being hatched as an ongoing project.

Trump should be believed when he contends that the only way he could lose is if the elections were unfair. We must see his attempts to manipulate the postal system; his inordinate control over Republican governors, like Ron DeSantis in Florida, a battleground state; and in the absence of a possible clear defeat, the reliability of a Supreme Court to appoint him, an easy ask. We concede though, that the court may not be as dependable as he would like it to be.

The 2004 elections were stolen based on electronic manipulation by George Bush or people acting on his behalf – essentially Karl Rove, who Bush called the ‘architect’. Rove and his fellow architects, again in Florida, were able to program voter machines so that votes for John Kerry were recognized, by the machines, as votes for Bush.

In Ohio, Ken Blackwell, a Black republican and former mayor of Cincinnati, oversaw the same kinds of built-in irregularities in certain counties as he certified numbers of electors inconsistent with actual registered voters. Bush’s approval ratings days before the election was 48%, with political momentum going against him. Normally when an incumbent president is below 50% he/she tends to lose. But Bush ‘won’ 51-48% in Ohio as the voting machines supplied by republican outfits included Diebold Election Systems, Inc. (DESI), Election Systems & Software (ESS) and Sequoia Voting Systems did the job intended. These are the companies which conspired with Karl Rove to steal two elections in a row and were the suppliers of 80% of all voting machines within the USA.

Notwithstanding the underlying election fraud by Bush, CNN had called the 2004 election for Kerry. But soon after and based on one of sixteen statistical impossibilities, a few thousand additional votes produced a five (5) point swing for Bush. This was also inconsistent with the exit polling results in the decisive states of Florida and Ohio. CNN then reversed itself and began calling the elections for Bush instead of Kerry. This action wiped out Kerry’s three (3) percentage points lead which he had gained up to 01:36 am and had Bush now leading by 2 percentage points in Florida. Only in America!

Pennsylvania also played a similar role in these fraudulent 2004 elections.

Enter Mitt Romney, and the 2012 elections, with Barack Obama seeking a second term. Romney comes along with the serial election fraudster Karl Rove. Maybe it was John McCain, given the man which he was said to be, who declined to participate in an election fraud against Obama in 2008. Donald Trump could never be depended upon to behave in such ways. History may indeed show that McCain created a break in the historic fraudulence of Karl Rove during the 2008 presidential elections – Obama v McCain.

Readers may recall Karl Rove, appearing on Fox News as commentator, in the 2012 elections, delaying a concession long after all indications were that Obama was being projected to be the winner of Ohio and thus would have garnered the 270 electoral votes to be the next president. Rove knew something only few others would have known.

It was Willian Skinner who alerted us about a report in the press concerning a motley group of hackers who were claiming to have discovered the planned electronic theft of Karl Rove and his associates and succeeded in blocking them, putting Rove’s agents into an electronic trap. As a result we are left to presume that Rove’s actions coupled with Romney’s long delayed concession was their way of giving the hidden and fraudulent hands more time to manifest this massive election fraud once more.

As we approach the first question and answer session on Tuesday (these could hardly pass for debates) Trump will see them as an opportunity to destroy Biden using his belligerent, uncouth, style. Biden’s handlers will be happy if they can get him out of there with at least a credible draw. There will be hardly any machinations, hopes, about winning given the damaged goods with which they have been handed. However, for Trump, less so than for Biden, the real game is taking place elsewhere and conducted by the forces of darkness from whence the whole panoply of American electoral fraud will be in a heightened state of readiness.

We have estimated that even if Joe Biden were to win the popular vote, win the Electoral College by a significant margin, win the exit polling, have all major media projecting him as the winner, by some chance have the Supreme Court declare him as winner, these will not be enough to convince Donald Trump that he is indeed anything less than the winner. Biden will then have to get Trump to concede and exit the White House, still. A dependence of the military brass is ill-advised. These may prove more difficult than winning the election as Trump has already prepared a case indicting the Democrats for engaging in massive election fraud. And as irrational as that maybe, we’ve seen this play reenacted for four years, Trump winning more often than not.

Biden the dependable nationalist, like Al Gore and John Kerry before him, may even find a way to capture defeat from the jaws of victory in order to preserve the republic and avoid a decent into civil unrest, even if the Supreme Court acted in his favour and against an adamant Donald Trump.

Of course, there will be demonstrations in the street regardless of final outcome..

There can be no daylight between the high-handed nomination of Amy Barrett and the election fraud being perpetrated by Donald J. Trump and those acting on his behalf. As this looming crisis to empire takes us on a slow march to a near unavoidable disaster it maybe high time for American policymakers to rethink all the structures on which this experiment was constructed. Certainly, an ‘exceptional nation’ should not have produced a Donald Trump, let alone have him elevated to the seat of power. A power position which then transforms a fraudster into a neo-fascist with the perceived power to say who, in the case of Venezuela, is to be that country’s president. The power of the presidency may be the one thing keeping Trump out of jail, Should he lose all bets are off. And Trump knows this too well.

Strengthened by the fraudulence of empire he can now do to America what the United States has for two hundred and fifty (250) years done to the rest of the world. One man, Donald J. Trump, has in a mere four (4) years done more damage to the United States of America than all the armies ever seen and not even a thousand Joe Bidens could recover it.

  1. Why are so many Barbadians obsessed with Donald Trump. Quite clearly the man should not be in public office, farless the most powerful office in the world, but he is an American problem, not one for a Bajan blog.
    It looks to me as if people are using Trump to let off steam, to vent their anger, to express their disappointments with life as it is, or to deal with their own internal demons.
    Trump is bad news, let us move on. Stop watching the poor journalistic crap on CNN (where journalists interview journalists) or listening to LImbaugh’s aural puke and get a life – or seek counselling.


  2. Donna, No.

    He needs to hit the campaign trail all over the country.

    Will be a tough 24/7 schedule, but he will be fine.

    He said that he is immune.


  3. @Hal,

    I cannot agree at all. Was Hitler a German problem?

    Trump represents everything wrong with humanity and the skeezy Republican moneylenders, whose tables Jesus tossrd over.

    We have to follow Jesus and toss their tables, or else they will consume us all, wherever we are.

    You too wi be affected in the UK, if Johnson abd Fleas-Mogg get to sell the NHS inti hedge funds and insuranise the whole thing.


  4. Hypoxemia is a below-normal level of oxygen in your blood, specifically in the arteries. Hypoxemia is a sign of a problem related to breathing or circulation, and may result in various symptoms, such as shortness of breath.

    Hypoxemia is determined by measuring the oxygen level in a blood sample taken from an artery (arterial blood gas). It can also be estimated by measuring the oxygen saturation of your blood using a pulse oximeter — a small device that clips to your finger.

    Normal arterial oxygen is approximately 75 to 100 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). Values under 60 mm Hg usually indicate the need for supplemental oxygen. Normal pulse oximeter readings usually range from 95 to 100 percent. Values under 90 percent are considered low.

    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    Trump’s level fell to 94%.

    Mine usually fluctuates between 96% and 98% occasionally rising to 99%

    I have had levels when I sleep and stop breathing (sleep apnea) that are as low as in the 80’s.

    Once I use the CPAP machine I will be 95% or higher when I sleep.

    From what I have read about my sleep apnea, Trump has good lungs, high volume and normal oxygen extraction.

    Sleep Apnea, COVID, Fentanyl abuse, heart Disease etc all contribute to low blood oxygen levels.

    George Floyd. Donald Trump and I have one thing in common.

    In fact, all humans cannot live if their lungs are not delivering oxygen to their blood.

    Even in the US Trump is an outlier. The followers are mainly those who regret the past and long for the days of the KKK. The American problem is America and its obsession with its exceptionalism, something that Trump, Biden, Obama, the blacks, whites, Jews and Latinos all share.
    Do you honestly think black Americans believe they are equal to black Barbadians or Africans – even relatives? American exceptionalism is at the very heart of its culture, it is embedded in every expression, from the national anthem, to making America great again.
    Americans need these symbolisms of nationalism because there are a divided people; this is what is meant by land of the free and home of the brave.
    The concept of the ‘free’ is an American concept; and land of the ‘brave’ is what the US means by being brave.
    Brave to them means going to work in your smartly ironed uniform to some underground office in Oregon, pressing a button and blowing up half of some Asian or Eastern European country.
    Americans best explain Humpty Dumpty’s dilemma: When I use a word, it means just what I chose it to mean. When Americans talk about freedom and bravery it means just what they say it means.
    In this sense, Trump is just an apple which fell from the tree, but rolled away and lodged in some distant corner. Nothing about him resembles Hitler or any other thug; Trump is a thug, but an American thug.
    Remember, the very black people that Mr Denny and so many Barbadians marched for, are the very same who will land on Barbados with their machine guns and kill locals because a future Colin Powell gave them an order to do so.
    Americans are the enemy, even Bajan-Yankees, not just Trump.


  8. How do you know where the anonymous buffoons commenting live and #two ,why do you pause to read this particular blog and #3 Barbados is a failed state so why do you care?


  9. How is America’s problem exclusively that of the USA if you take how it has managed COVID 19 as one example?

    Steuspe


  10. They are a divided people…..


  11. We do have to remember that none of this is natural, it remains the 400 year old FANTASIES and DELUSIONS of DEAD slave masters and their living descendants who still maintain and PERPETRATE such to their own benefit…. with their Black/African victims THE ONLY ONES still living the NIGHTMARE REALITY.

  12. What a perrenial cunt.

    How could such an ass pretend to be sentient but starts by contradicting himself.

    He posits that American exceptionalism is shared by all groups. Then he contradicts himself by highlighting the fissures within America. These two ideas cannot coexist.

    The critical historians have alligned an internationalism with the struggles of black, brown and red peoples in American in the fight against Whiteness. Indeed, some of these leader were from the Caribbean and Africa.

    Paul Robeson is a single example.

    Indeed, the main weapon against racism in America was the threat by anti racism leaders to charge the American goverment with genocide at the UN.

    These simplictic renderings of history by the ugly man from england only serve to consolidate his yearnings to be closer to his White masters. To burnish his deep feelings of inferiority.

    OMG, such hatred from someone you have never even met.

    I bet you keep a bucket or two next to your bed so you don’t have to run to the bathroom in the dark when you wake up in the middle of the night dreaming of your hatred for all things Trump, white and all things non-black.

    Don’t scapegoat and blame other people for your shortcomings and shortsightedness. Are you still a slave? Time to stop crying and complaining about the past, take some personal responsibility for your fate and get on with your life instead of being stuck in history unless you are a history teacher.


  14. Hope you sent this note to President Trump who has taken politicizing a public health matter to a new level of magnitude.

    That’s why the division exists.

    That’s why Trump exists.

    I suspect America is not divided 50/50 but more like 80/20.

    The media makes it appear 50/50 and to do so sends its false message all around the globe.

    Trump should prevail unless something weird occurs.

    The answer is simple.

    The media.

    Before Trump it was setting the stage.

    Then enter the dragon!!!

    The media needs to destroy Trump because he will expunge years and years of work by the left.

    As the election approaches, it is whipped into a frenzy by Trumps impending success.


  20. Another freaky “coincidence”? Biden’s text number to raise money is 30330. Divide 2020 by 666.

    Another gaffe – ‘Jeez, the reason I was able to stay sequestered in my home is because some Black woman was able to stack the grocery shelf’


  21. Pacha…some miss the whole point, it’s best not to waste too much energy, sometimes it’s best to just show them the REALITY IN BLACK AND WHITE…..this is not much different to the evil shit the black faces in Barbados’ parliament have been doing to their own for decades….same structural racism, discrimination, disenfranchisement, oppression and exploitation at play…..that they think they can blackwash with total lies….and ya have to keep REMINDING CLOWNS WITH SHORT MEMORIES that all of this is DELIBERATE, VERY WELL ORCHESTRATED.

    A request still being ignored by la basura in Barbados’ parliament…refusing to FREE UP THE LAND TO DESCENDANTS OF SLAVES…

    “Across the Caribbean and the American south, Black reparationists also sought new relationships with land in order to repair the damage caused by generations of brutal plantation labour. In 1861, formerly enslaved Jamaican peasants sent a petition to Queen Victoria demanding land for collective cultivation. The request was ignored.”

    “When Simmons was 19, her family had to sell their home to pay for her grandmother’s cancer treatment. There were no other family assets available. Structural racism and discrimination conspire to drain Black families of wealth, preventing them from creating financial safety nets that can span generations. Black people know what it’s like, generation after generation, to confront the racial wealth gap as they start all over again. After losing her beloved grandmother, Simmons did just that. “My story is not about being downtrodden, but underresourced,” she told me. Simmons began college while working at the mall to make ends meet. By 22, she obtained her real estate licence and started a general contracting business. Eventually, she became a property developer focused on building affordable housing in Evanston, and entered elected office in 2017, aged 41.”

    On 25 November 2019, the Evanston city council passed the US’s first – indeed the world’s first – legislated and funded reparations programme to acknowledge and address the intergenerational disparities of racial slavery. The $10m fund will be resourced by the new municipal income tax on cannabis. There is justice in this, too, since the unequal enforcement and prosecution of marijuana prohibitions has served as a major mechanism by which Black youth are criminalised and shoved into the US’s prison-industrial complex.

    Simmons sees the current dispensation as the beginning of something much greater and longer-lasting. “We are focused on breaking the racial wealth divide,” Simmons told me. “My hope is that the fund grows tenfold as other institutions and donors follow our lead.”

    In the 18th and 19th centuries, the policy of paying reparations to former slave-owners was standard practice among colonising European and American states. In 1792, at the dawning of the Haitian revolution, when masses of enslaved people rose up against French colonial power, destroying the plantations and constructing their own government, the French state began to pay the exiled former slave owners the secours, or a state-funded compensation for their property losses. This assistance was offered not only to former enslavers, but also to their descendants. It was paid by successive French governments for more than 100 years, ending in 1911, as historian Mary Lewis has detailed.

    This government support was not deemed sufficient by the former enslavers, who also demanded what they explicitly called “réparations” from the Haitian people themselves. In 1825, France stationed 14 warships off the Haitian coast and threatened the destruction of the nation’s main port cities unless a huge sum of reparations – the indemnité – was paid. The Haitian government was forced to pay perverse reparations for its own revolution: ultimately 90m gold francs, plus an additional 135m gold francs in bank interest and fees to France, over the course of more than 120 years, concluding only in 1947.

    In the US, reparations to enslavers have been consistent state policy since the first emancipations of the 1770s in the revolutionary American north. Enslavers in states such as Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York and New Jersey were granted reparations packages in the form of rights to the ongoing involuntary labour of enslaved Black children for up to 28 years, as well as guaranteed pensions. In Connecticut, for instance, a minister named Reverend Thompson had title to an enslaved boy named James Mars, born in 1790 in Connecticut, after the state abolished slavery. The law allowed Thompson to keep Mars enslaved until age 25, and even to send the boy down to Virginia where Thompson owned land and could enslave Mars for life. Mars only escaped this fate thanks to the ingenuity of his parents, who “stole” their own son and fled elsewhere in New England in order to remain together.”


  22. Yes Waru

    Anytime you have people resorting to the monolithic there are sure to be problem.

    Why don’t they try to convince the Native Americans, who have hundreds of their own sovereign nations, about American exceptionalism.

    Or many of the former slaves, some of whom have been for decades agitating for their own homeland, that a belief in exceptionalism is to be their creed.

    Or the Mexican peoples, from whom half their country was stolen, and believe that all of the Western hemisphere is their ancestral. Tell them about American exceptionalism.

    Tell the vast majority of Black and poor people being crushed by American imperialism, at home, how exceptional America is.

    The idea that this is some share sense of American consciousness is little more than a badly manufacture concept, And like all things American when you starch the survive constructed to mislead a whole different picture emerges.

    @Austin, you are clearly intent on provocatively driving debate with your off-hand remark that: “It looks to me as if people are using Trump to let off steam, to vent their anger, to express their disappointments with life as it is, or to deal with their own internal demons.”

    The amusing thing about that is it’s mundane generality… over the years have we not obsessed and followed as closely as was possible folks like John Kennedy the president and the political family; devoted oogles of time to your and our – soon to be former – Queen and particularly her ridiculously captivating (though some may say vacuous) daughter-in-law etc. and ad nauseum!

    Ans as the blogger @Pach notes you have – it seems like a 1,000 tmes – effortless contradicted yourself… apart from his example, your mere post of the generality is itself YOUR blowing off your steam and I can only imagine dealing with YOUR internal demons on perceptions of journalistic perfidy by former colleagues 🤣😎!

    The last time I checked our lil Bim was still beholden to the US militarily (various aid and assistance to our regional apparatus) and economically… so for us NOT to vent on US actions and as you like to prod, just wait for the remittances would be a foolhardy ride pretending that the Xi ‘made-in-China’ e-scooter is a new Rolls-Royce.

    We may act foolishy foolishy but we really ain’t fools yah know !

    Stop venting YOUR frustrations, bro!

    And BTW how does one intellectually (not just you) determine that a man who received 63 million votes from American citizens is such an outlier! … Is that practical and reasoned analysis or blowing off steam on preconceptions of US dislike!

    It bogles my mind that despite the long history of US racism (like the KKK you cite) that we yet see this POTUS as “just an apple which fell from the tree, but rolled away and lodged in some distant corner.”v…. The imagery of Washington’s apple tree is cute and just as every orchard will produce its fair share of overripe or blighted fruit we must accept that this man is merely ONE tainted apple from the harvest… he is an outlier ONLY as he has morphed into this supreme Teflon demagogue !

    His followers are indeed many “who regret the past and long for the days of the KKK’ but that is his core base only … as Obama needed a broad coalition to be elected so too this man; so for sure we cannot simply label ALL his supporters as that!

    And say what you will of WORDS but the US anthem IS a STIRRING piece of music… (so too ours frankly…although the melody/tune is less rousing)!

    And what is an American thug exactly … one who is not a Brit or Asian thug, maybe!😒

    “Americans are the enemy, even Bajan-Yankees, not just Trump” …. REALLY… are you a paid Xi’est these day… I really thought the formidable Chinese with their total disdain for people like me as useful idiots were the new enemy!

    I gone.

  29. This man wants to direct what the blogmaster should post and what kind of blog it should be, how we should comment and in what language.

    And now he wants to tell us what ought to be our interest.

    My suggestion is that the control FREAK should tend to his own boring social media space and see if he can generate some interest there.

    But he can’t because he has the personality of a dead tree stump. Only insects are attracted to what he has to offer.

  31. Just saw this headline on Washington post

    Joint Chiefs chairman, other senior military officials quarantining after Coast Guard admiral tests positive for coronavirus. Gen. Mark A. Milley and military service chiefs have tested negative but are working from home after coming into contact with an official who became infected, a defense official said.

    MIght be fake news but the NY Times had a similar headline.

    Time to prep for the apocalypse?

    Why would they allow a story like this to be posted?

    They will have backups in place. But I agree, should not have reached the public, for security reasons. That is unusual.


  35. The Washington Post is reporting that “Members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff are in isolation after the Coast Guard’s No. 2 officer, Adm. Charles Ray, tested positive for the novel coronavirus, the Pentagon said. Ray attended a Sept. 27 event at the White House for Gold Star military families.”


  36. The Washington Post is reporting that “Facebook removed a post from President Trump on Tuesday that called coronavirus “far less lethal” than the flu…”


  37. @Washingon Post “Those quarantined include Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Gen. John Hyten, the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs; Adm. Michael Gilday, the chief of naval operations; Gen. James McConville, the Army chief of Staff; Gen. Charles Q. Brown, the Air Force chief of staff; Gen. John Raymond, the Space Force chief of staff; Gen. Daniel Hokanson, the chief the National Guard Bureau; and Gen. Paul Nakasone, the head of U.S. Cyber Command.”

    @Lyall, why is the story so ‘fearsome’!

    If nothing else the military chain of command is excellent so even if all the chiefs were taken in one incredible act of destruction I expect a hiccup in process NOT a disruption because they are otherwise equally well trained and prepared to take over.

    @Northern that was an interesting stat to read on the wires this morning … it’s even more amazing considering the tariffs imposed by POTUS and the reprisal moves from China.

    What’s also interesting for ideologues is that historically on key metrics the US economy has “on average” done BETTER under Dems than Republicans.

    Extending his lead to 12 points in some national polls, he now has a big deckie up the “shithole” of Trump.

    Trump is however still favoured because steel will be an indispensable material in his campaign.

    You should check out the film “Harriet” about a strong little black runaway slave girl who became a conductor on the Railway Underground risking her life to free fellow black Africans held in Bondage in Amerikkka as a life mission calling from God, circa 150 years ago

    I endorse this film ☆☆☆☆☆

    Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.
    I had reasoned this out in my mind, there was one of two things I had a right to, liberty or death; if I could not have one, I would have the other.
    ’Twant me, ’twas the Lord. I always told him, “I trust to you. I don’t know where to go or what to do, but I expect you to lead me,” and he always did.
    I had crossed the line. I was free; but there was no one to welcome me to the land of freedom. I was a stranger in a strange land.
    I would fight for my liberty so long as my strength lasted, and if the time came for me to go, the Lord would let them take me.
    I grew up like a neglected weed – ignorant of liberty, having no experience of it.

    The spending shows while DJT has spent in what are typically called GOP causes, he has spent more than many a GOP President. It could be said he spent like a Democrat but taxed liked a Republican.
    Tariffs aside, and there have been several as you point out, he also scrapped “terrible” FTA’s and renegotiated them supposedly to the US advantage, ‘if’ you listen to him. Self sufficiency in oil? What is being imported?


  46. The reptile, Steven tests positive.

    The White House is COVID CENTRAL.

    Reports are that the staff is in a tizzy.

    Anybody remember when a reporter asked Turd Ball if he was not worried about having an indoor rally without masks and social distancing?

    Answer for 20 points.


  47. Apologies, the second video in the post above was supposed to be for the trailer below for the movie that really moved me


  48. Kelly-ann Conway’s angry daughter, the Turd’s campaign manager and a WH press poll reporter’s wife.

    All positive.

    Suppose Trump ends up infecting George Conway?
