Over the last few decades, particularly from the time when Ronald Reagan was President in the United States (in the 1980s), and Brian Mulroney was Canada’s Prime Minister (also in the 1980s), their personal rapport and their political and economic ideological affinity resulted in the first ‘Free Trade Agreement’ between Canada and the United States.

The largest protest in American history was a joke to wannabe king Donald Trump, and his followers. A Joke!! Those who turned out to protest were of the old America, which believed in decency, non-violence and the Constitutional right to protest as a fundamental American ‘right’, signifying the quintessential act of freedom of every American.

Who would have guessed even a few years ago that one of the least brilliant and most incompetent entrepreneurs in America, a man who bankrupted almost all the businesses he started and had to be bailed out by questionable Russian money, whose first term in office as America’s President was an embarrassment of lies, corrupt incompetence and failed leadership, would be re-elected by the American electorate for a second term to further destroy what had been accidentally spared i

It’s a fact, almost 80 years to the month - the end of World War II - fascism was decisively defeated around the world at a horrendous cost of an estimated 50 to 85 million people dead, mostly civilians, and the most of civilian deaths were in Russia and China.

Day after day, alone on the hill, America as a shining city dims and distorts, no longer able to give the world the light of enlightenment, of freedom, of justice, of equality and of fair play. Instead, now, under Trump and his Republicans, America sits alone, the fool on the hill, minus the inferred wisdom in the old Beatle's song: "The Fool on the Hill".

It is only the most ignorant and blindly loyal supporters of Trump that are unaware of the fact that America’s greatness is being systematically dismantled by an inept and self-serving leader.

For the last century big, bold and beautiful America was just there. A long time ago, and from afar (India), as children in the 1950s, we avidly watched American movies, read American comics, emulated American heroes, listened to American music, chewed American gum, and where possible partook of American cuisine - which in those far-off years consisted primarily of canned or packaged goods (like Campbell Soups and Hersey Chocolates), or bottled beverages like the supremely ic

America and Israel were considered the World’s two leading democracies. They were both hailed as beacons of light illuminating a dark world in their respective geo-political spheres.
