Are the principles and concepts that have been established by The
Constitution of the United States being threatened? As a desired destination
for many seeking a better life - is this still possible? Is the American Dream being replaced by an American Nightmare? Should the citizens of
Canada, United Kingdom, Israel and other allies be fearful of losing their rights? Many in America (Muslims, Mexicans - all ethnicities, plus LGBT, women and marginal
minorities)? Canada and the U.S. have always had much in common
(with very few exceptions).
Will Donald Trump build a wall along our border as he is threatening to do with Mexico? WE DON'T NEED WALLS ... WE NEED BRIDGES! Walls divide ... bridges unite. Much of humanity has family, friendships and loved ones around the world. Many of us are now separated due to current border restrictions, travelling and passport/visa requirements. All of these tightened oppressive rules are in response to the threat of terrorism and criminal activity. Quite frankly, the current measures and those proposed do not work against the intended; rather they seriously harm the innocent and ordinary citizen.

This has already
begun. On Friday, January 27, 2017, an executive
order 'temporarely/indefinately' banning entry from seven countries
in the Middle East (issued in the first week of Trump's
administration). This has caused much confusion, suffering, chaos and
even trauma, as many were detained and turned back, even if they had
valid documentation.
Further more,
policies that discriminate against certain groups based on colour of
skin, nationality, religion and sexual orientation only fuel the
fires of hatred and intolerance, leading to an increase in anger,
violence and disorder. This vicious never-ending cycle of bloodshed,
vengeance, inhuman atrocities, genocide and total devastation must
end and be replaced with tolerance, understanding and love. It is
only when all of humanity, irregardless of skin colour, creeds,
opinions or orientations, comes together and cooperates in peace and
harmony will all of our problems be solved. Oppression, imposition
and bloodshed only leads to more of the same. The current vicious
circle that plagues us now, MUST BE BROKEN, NOT NOURISHED!
“ALL
MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL”
“presumed
innocent until proved guilty”
The
Universal Declaration of Human Rights, article 11
Many of Trump's
statements during his campaign and his actions since becoming
President are in total opposition to fundamental human rights. His
type of delusional, xenophobic and extremist statements and reactions
will not make America "GREAT AGAIN." Could this the
beginning of a fascist brutal and world-threatening dictatorship?
Will Trump follow in the footsteps of Hitler, Franco, Stalin, Assad
and others? Or, be even worse? Will Americans mysteriously begin to
disappear (as with many dictatorships in South America in the 1970s)?
Further to his 'executive order',
banning entry into the U.S. from seven Middle Eastern, predominately
Muslim countries – what crime(s) have the
following committed against the American people –
what threat do they pose to National Security:
- A 75-year-old woman, who has lived in States for 20 years, returning home from visiting her family in Iraq, who is MURDERED due to this Hitlerian racist order?
- A five-year-old boy from Syria traumatized by seeing his parents handcuffed and further traumatized by being handcuffed himself?
- Award-winning Iranian director Asghar Farhadi and actress Taraneh Alidoosti, who are unable to attend the Academy Awards? He had won an Oscar for his previous film “A Separation”; and his latest “The Salesman” has also been nominated.
- And, no doubt, many others. Please leave a comment below, if you have any.

U.S. Judge has temporarily granted a restraining order.
The three judges of the Ninth
Circuit Court of Appeals have since upheld the restraining order.]
Remember
the horrors inflicted by Nazi Germany during Hitler's dictatorship,
the 'final solution' and his expansionist militaristic policies? Add
to this, the near invincibility of the Imperial Roman Army. It offers
some glimmer of hope that Trump will not succeed in attaining
“absolute power”, when I hear about the strong resistance to his
unconstitutional and hateful policies, and his apparent desire to
reverse every achievements made in the advancement of civil rights
and freedoms. Since his inauguration, there has been a march or
protest against Trump's policies, statements and 'executive' orders
practically everyday. We have all heard about his 'temper tantrums'
on Twitter. How much longer can he hold out from venting his rage on
those who oppose him? How much longer before he calls in the troops
to put a stop to the marches and protests?
According to
Global Firepower the
United States is rated number one among the 126 countries listed on
its database in regards to relative military strength. Using its
unique analytical formula, the GPF incorporates data concerning
modern military powers to display a list that puts the military
powers of the world into full perspective, allowing for a broad
spectrum of comparisons to be achieved concerning relative military
strengths.
As Hitler sought
for a greater Germany through military strength, does Trump have the
same desire for America? Let us hope and pray that Donald Trump can
be impeached before he takes America and the rest of the world down a
dark, foreboding and destructive path.
