      During the Carter Administration American citizens were captured as hostage in IRAN. President Carter tried to negotiate with Iran to release the American hostages, even he tried to rescue them through military intervention which failed. When Ronald Reagan was campaigning against Jimmy Carter to take the white house, the Reagan election officials secretly went to Iran tell the Iranian government not to release the hostages until the election is over. The Iranians were shocked and surprised! Well, Ronald Reagan campaign officials bribed the Iranian government officials with about 300, 000 or more million dollars to agree to the Reagan election officials demand. They also instructed the Iranians to release the hostages after the election was over. Well, right after Ronald Reagan became a president, the American hostages in Iran suddenly were released. And, Ronald Reagan bragged and took credit for their release. This was disclosed by the historian Dr. Roy Casagrande!

      ​@@davidcooper177 Implying that Ronald Reagan had no experience as a politician before he ran for President is asinine. He was Governor of California for 2 Terms (The Most Powerful State in the Country). Now I'm no huge Reagan fanatic, but he was a much better Governor for California than Gavin Newsom, Jerry Brown, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Gray Davis, Pete Wilson & Pat Brown. Though I think George Deukmejian was superior to Reagan as Governor of California.

    When people see their fellow citizens having no future, and that includes jobs, and yet others ( the lucky million) enjoying a life style for kings, with private jets, multiple properties, holidays in exotic places, and no financial worries and could easily afford private health care, and university tuition for their kids. All these worldly privileges created a chasm, and they were were left to live in misery. The US could have all through the years to alleviate people's suffering by cancelling all these military basis, cutting to zero spending in Ukraine, and Israel ,and all other malicious activities that benefitted the MIC, and all the Generals who were employed by these war monger companies who pushed for war. The train has left the station, and licking their wounds is all that is left for the desperate.

    You had an immigrant problem in Australia with Southeastern Asians because they are brown, just like the US has problems with brown people from Central and South America.

    • @thefocus_SAGEIntl
      @thefocus_SAGEIntl  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      @@massbygus the old ways of immigration weren’t so cut and dry. White people don’t always get on with white people. Most Jews, Greeks, Italians (north AND south), Baltic and Slavic all had their moments of nativist hostility. World Wars I & II anyone? Blue eyes, blond hair and white skin don’t inoculate you from racism. For those few people who never experienced this, or, who were lucky enough to avoid it great. For those who didn’t, it was just racism and traumatic. White-on-white. New waves of migrants are ‘brown’ and ‘black’, but white and black aren’t the only form of racism. Ever visited Africa and spoken to Africans on the ground? Being black in Africa doesn’t guarantee a utopian brotherhood? We in the white West call it tribalism. And there is that. But Africa is riven by genocidal hatred’s among black people. Seen the human horror show in the Horn of Africa? Central Africa? West Africa? Focusing on black and white racism makes one think that somehow within each racial group there is harmony, and that simply isn’t true. So now we have black and brown migrants. Yes there is racism within that. Is it worse than racism experienced by previous generations of migrants? You can always point to black and brown people being the victims of colonialism. But concurrently, they were victims of black-on-black or brown-on-brown bias, violence, repression outside of the white-on-black dichotomy. Racism, like war, is part of the in-group, out-group phenomenon that is universal.

      The 'brown' people who are flooding into Europe and Australia and to some extent (a trickle now) into North America are not Christian. It does matter. Christians fit into Europe because the beliefs systems are the same tho pigments are different.
      You may have witnessed the "river to the sea crowd" chanting Down with America and calling for genocide of the Jews. That underscores my point. Then there are hordes of other Asians if Hindu and sick faiths who are totally not comfortable with our European, Greek, Roman culture. Of course, if you add the underbelly of America like BLM, Antifa, radical feminists, disgruntled whites, this does not make for a good mix.
      Donald Trump has brought the republican horse to the water and had made it drink. By that I mean, he wants to forge an order to the chaos that is America today.

      @@massbygus Before one jumps into this quicksand, I am a bloke of mixed Austrian-Italian descent. I have white skin and blue eyes and before SE Asians came to Australia, post-war Continentals were the immigrant communities de jure. As a child of immigrants in a VERY Anglo environment, the hatred directed at me during my early years was palpable. Racism is international. White-on white, black-on-black, brown-on-brown. And then there’s ‘cross-over’ racism, white-on-black, black-on-brown, etc. I hate using these terms since in modern Australia, we tend to officially no longer tolerate identifying people in racial categories. My experience in Africa also confirmed that Africans, don’t live in some ideal ‘bro-verse’ where colour solves everything. Why do you think colonialism was so successful? Divide and rule. Exploiting local hatred’s & biases so that foreign forces rein supreme, playing one group again the other. I would argue that if you could replace Latin American migrants with Nordic ones, unrestricted Nordic immigration would be similarly loathed by nativist Americans. Nothing is ever ‘black & white.’

    With the election behind us and a great deal of reflection this conversation was a great reassurance of what I’ve always believed.
    Both candidates had flaws obviously. One was a traditional establishment candidate and the other was a new age establishment candidate.
    100% No real changes with a Harris administration, which would have kept Americans comfortable in the continuous rat race.
    The Trump administration will provide little to no change.
    But if most Americans want to defeat the establishment and reduce income inequality I believe the trump era will be a fast forward to get to that revolution when systems begin to fall a part. Otherwise, we’d be ok with the establishment and Harris status quo for generations to come.
    I didn’t think I wanted it to go this way but it may be the only way Americans can see some change.
