SO WHAT HAPPENED ?


 



                                                    SO WHAT HAPPENED ?



It has been a fortnight since my last posting. The King was as disappointed as every sane person in the Western and Eastern Hemispheres. He took a trip to London to commiserate with family and friends.
 He also attended the 150th anniversary of his boys’ grammar school where he found not a single Trump sympathiser in a group ranging in age from 40 to 92.

His Highness also distracted himself by supervising the electrical refurbishment of Prince Daniel’s pied a terre.The electrical crew comprised a Turkish owner, a Colombian lead electrician and [most unusually] a local cockney electrician’s mate. There was no Pole in sight. All three professed great interest in the King’s wisdom on Trumf, Brexit,Erdogan and the Colombian government deal with FARC. Well ,the King was footing the bill.

As regular readers of this blog will realize I am stalling. Apparently readers want to hear from King Cyclops an explanation of how “Hillary Lost the Presidency”.

Given that King Cyclops,along with every other pundit and prognosticator, managed to get it totally wrong, I’m not quite sure why anybody might believe I have any worthwhile insight now. 



         



On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.
                                                                                                      H. L. Mencken


                                                       MANY  EXPLANATIONS AND NONE      


  The PUNDITRY has no shortage of reasons : 



  1.  FBI director Comey’s interference was the last straw----certainly. It stopped Clinton’s   momentum and deflected the whole tenor of the campaign’s final week.                                                                          
  2. The African-American turnout in the Rust Belt states was way below 2008/2012-- cause or effect?
  3. Too many millennial’s stayed at home wasted their vote on the greens--- cause or effect?
  4. Insufficient educated Republican women abandoned their party – – effect not cause.
  5. Her primary campaign against Sanders was poor and failed to excite any part of the Democratic base except for a small segment of dedicated “feminists”.
  6. Every woman the King spoke to thought it would be “nice”to finally have a woman president but not that it was definitive for a campaign in 2016.
  7. Sanders and his supporters were lukewarm in her support -- so was the rest of the Democratic Party.
  8. Bill Clinton blames the campaign team and leadership for poor strategy and operation – – Bill always blames the help.
  9. The announcement of the substantial increases in Obama Care premiums ten days before voting did not help.                   
  10. And it was no surprise that the media could not explain that this affected about 3% of the population. Even Trumpf thought that it affected his workers.He is the Emperor of the Know Nothings.
  11. While Latino turnout was up 25% some exit polls indicated that 28-30 % voted for Trump. Well the polls got so much wrong maybe they got this wrong too. There can’t be that many old Cubans in Florida. But Clinton did lose Florida!
  12. The Clinton campaign failed to connect as effectively as it should with the working class. Not just the white working class but also the black and Latino – – This is undoubtedly true.Her  fault.
  13. Clinton lost Wisconsin Michigan and Pennsylvania;by less than 1%.No Democrat should lose those states to a Republican let alone to Donald Trumpf.
  14. The electoral college – – Trumpf won the electoral college but Clinton seems to be heading for a 3 million votes lead in the popular vote. Well those are the rules.Although the 3 million vote lead will allow some pollsters to claim they got it right—watch.                                                                              
  15. She really won,tell that in four years to the deported, conned,coal miners, long term unemployed and know nothings.
  16. Those bloody emails – – what can one say.
  17. The Goldman Sachs speaking fees – – inexcusably stupid for somebody planning to run for the Presidency as a Democrat.
  18. Wiener and Uma were a major late distraction – – yeah, so.                                                                                                
  19. The white working class were conned by Trumpf – – “false consciousness” is always good for a trot around the track. A proportion of the white working class is racist and xenophobic;and always has been. Democratic presidents from Roosevelt to Obama won despite that.
  20. The ”know nothing” tradition of American politics triumphed this time.Well actually,in aggregate, it didn’t ;but it has always been with us. Nothing unique about this election?
  21. Wiki Leaks and the Russians planted fake  stories about crooked Hillary’s financial conflicts. These probably hurt because some of the stories rang true, and the electorate didn’t seem to care about the real scandals surrounding Dodgy Donald.
  22. False equivalence.The media did a lousy job.  It always does.                                                                                  
  23. Too many voters were racist or sexist or homophobic or xenophobic  – – can’t argue with that. But Obama won twice – – It seems too many were Clintonphobic.
  24. This was a "change election" and Hillary represented the status quo. This is very popular with “serious” pundits and political scientists. Hands up those who think Joe Biden would’ve slaughtered Trumpf. Me too.So much for being against a continuation of the Obama regime.
  25. This was just like Brexit,a howl of anger against the established order and the way “Washington” ignores  ordinary folk. If you watch cable news [any network] you will hear this kind of linkage all the time.
  26.  Even the King will lapse into such commentary ;and there is something to it  – – but for goodness sake the electorate sent back nearly all the same Republicans to the House and to the Senate. Most governors were reelected. A funny way  to  get change.

              Any and all of these reasons is enough to explain how Hillary lost this election.

King Cyclops believes that there was a confluence of factors which may be summarised as

                                                          HILLARY CLINTON

                                              IDIOT ELECTORATE


                                   THIS TOO SHALL PASS

READER COMMENTS





The Democrats opted to build a coalition which failed to include white male idiots. In retrospect how could that have succeeded ?       
                                                                                                                                   Cuban                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

Rome survived Nero, China survived Mao, Russia survived Stalin, Germany survived Hitler, Uganda survived Idi Amin, Cambodia survived Pol Pot. So why the wailing and gnashing of teeth over Drumpf? He is almost harmless in comparison. A little bit of racism here, a bit of sexism there, a few deportations and a wall. Bigly deal! Plus an Eastern Bloc model, if not a role model, thrown in for free as First Lady.
And Secretary Clinton? Server right! Trivia counts.
For want of a nail the shoe was lost,
for want of a shoe the horse was lost,
for want of a horse the knight was lost,
for want of a knight the battle was lost,
for want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
So a kingdom was lost—all for want of a nail.
The Secretary should take up shorthand-typing, as the technology might serve 'er better.

The innocent assumption is Trump will not implement more than 10% of what he said (which is a lot!!). What if we are wrong and he is serious??? History has shown that these mistakes happen.

CYCLOPS PROMISED TO PREDICT ELECTION



      KING CYCLOPS HONOURS PROMISE TO PREDICT ELECTION RESULTS

THE KING, like many others, is both exasperated and confused by the election.
 He no more understands the American electorate than they do themselves.
 Nevertheless, he has been asked to pontificate, prognosticate, predicate and anticipate. 
Alas,no one has asked the King to fornicate – but that’s another story.
  
                                              As H.L Mencken observed in September 1926:

“No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby.”

Trumpf has certainly proved this in business and now in Presidential politics—at least for about 42% of the population. 

But the King confesses that in the heart of every apparent cynic, there is a small chamber containing hope. He ain't won yet!

Before I go out on the limb so many of my subjects desire to remove, a quick update on the latest , rumours, revelations,ruminations and rubbish.

  • Today Comey at the FBI announced an urgent FBI investigation into Hillary's bad hand writing.
  • National Enquirer reveals that Hillary is Pregnant --with twins.
  • In UK ,Trumpf is burned in effigy on Guy Fawkes night , November 5th.
  • Early Voting In Florida Shows Trump Winning Election by Landslide.
  • Late polling in Florida shows  Clinton Winning Election by Landslide.
  • King Cyclops posts these blogs even though he has more valuable ways to spend his time.
  • Trumpf campaign claims an assassination attempt on candidate at Nevada rally.
  • Trumpf insists that he has fully paid his personal taxes to his government-- he has a receipt from Mr. Putin to prove it.
  • Mellania Trumpf announces that as first lady the cause she will champion will be to end cyber bullying.
  • Documents prove Mellania Trumpf worked on the modeling job below while on a tourist visa in 1996


               
                                                               ILLEGAL ALIEN
The King publishes this not for salacious purposes but for the record and in the cause of erudition. 

  • For work purposes she was an illegal alien-- certainly not an extraterrestrial.
  • Hillary’s spouse modeled men’s briefs while Rhodes Scholar at Oxford.
  • King Cyclops has lost 25 pounds in preparation for Princess Rachel’s wedding next year.
  • Donald Trumpf had an affair with Playboy pinup while married in 1997,1998, 1999, 20002006,2007,2008,2009 -- oh who cares?
  • Trump campaign claims a cache of secret emails on Hillary’s server showed she was backed by the Baronne de Rothschild, Mossad,Goldman Sachs, the illuminati and the Muslim brotherhood.
  • He could only get the KGB, WikiLeaks and Benjamin Netanyahu.
  • Saudi prince Mohammed bin Salman supports Trumpf  but can’t figure out whether a high or low oil price will help.King Cyclops advises not to worry;he has proved he can’t control things anyway..
  • Trumpf financed his own campaign . 


                                       Of these 20 snippets TWO are true ;  You work it out !


                               The Trumpf/Putin Bromance continues

                               
                               
WikiLeaks has revealed that the head of his transition team,Chris Christie[remember him?], has prepared a secret list of cabinet ministers expected to serve in  a Trumpf administration:

  •  Secretary of State will be Vladimir Putin, who has told Trumpf his ambition is to serve at the top of a real SUPERPOWER
  • Apprentice alumna Omarosa Manigault—head of Trumpf black outreach-- to head Housing and Human Services.Its a reward for a job well done.
  • Chris Christie himself to be Attorney General-- if available.
  •  Ben Carson is the surprising choice for Secretary of Defense.
  • Donald Trumpf Jnr. is mooted for Secretary of the Treasury—“I learned in Manhattan, always have a family member on the till”.
  • Roger Ailes will be appointed to be Secretary of the new Ministry of Truth, and he is expected to bring in Bill O’Reilly , Sean Hannity et al. from Fox news.
  • The CIA is to be headed by Felix Dzerzhinsky III rd
  • WikiLeaks founder Paul Assange  will be tapped to take over the FBI as he is seen as a more efficient leaker than the current incumbent.
  • Rudy Guiliani is to become a senior for torture,profiling, neighbourhood policing and 9/11.
  • Sarah Palin is expected to be sent as the chief representative to the UN as she has assured her new boss at the State Department that she can see Russia from her house.
  • Secretary  of Welfare will be John Beelzebub
  • And  A.N.T. Christ  is expected to be Trumpf’s Chief of Staff.
  • There is no mention of Ted Cruz or his wife.
  • John Kasich is expected to be chief of the dis loya lopposition
  • Paul Ryan is to be offered the Ambassadorship in Ulan Battor.

                      YOU REALLY CANNOT MAKE THIS UP

FBI Director James Comey told lawmakers Sunday the agency hasn't changed its opinion that Hillary Clinton should not face criminal charges after a review of new emails.

   See for yourself




                                              



 The King was just finishing up this blog at about 6:30 CIA local time. I was to finish with my predictions for the election. Then this news came over the wire, as they say in the movies.The entire election has been thrown off the rails by this non-issue.

The self-righteous, self-serving, self-absorbed, self-aggrandizing, un-self-aware head of the FBI is now in the process in trying to cover his butt over the extraordinary unprecedented disruption he caused. He completely changed the momentum of the election over the last critical 10 days while the early voting was taking place. This is unforgivable for the head of law enforcement in a democracy.

                                           

                                  Can Comey Survive?  You must be kidding.

PREDICTIONS?

In any event the King was about to complete this posting with a more serious review of election predictions. But this news has now to be absorbed .

No, the King is not ducking. Hillary Will Win the issue is by how much. This last event cannot make up for the damage done to her trajectory but it can't hurt. Needless to say the results down ballot will not be as good as they would  have been without the idiotic self absorbed intervention of James Comey.


My last comment before releasing this post is that the King devoutly hopes that the Democrats win Florida, Nevada, Arizona and Colorado because of increased Hispanic turnout. I look forward to the irony that the margin of victory in each state will be equal to or less than the increase in the Hispanic percentage turnout.

                               MR.TRUMP AS YOU SOW MAY YOU REAP

brexit,the law and a snap election



                  Events are slowly unfolding in the direction King Cyclops prefers and predicted.

Two items of news in the last 48 hours may serve to prepare the ground for the so-called soft
Brexit. Maybe one so soft that it it will produce an outcome that would readily be accepted by the British and by many of their European neighbors.

To wit :


  •    Britain remains in  the single market
  •    The European Union concedes,in all but name,an end to           unlimited,unregulated  movement     
  •  The reclaiming of British Parliament's primacy over British  laws,and 
  • the same sovereignty returning to each European  country which so desires


THE FIRST ITEM    German Council of Economic Experts

Two days ago the German Council of Economic Experts presented a report calling on


  their government to prevent Brexit from going ahead.The group,known as the WISE MEN stated:


  • “An exit of the United Kingdom from the EU would not only mean an economic loss, but above all a bigger political loss,"
  • “Given the consequences, political actors should not assume too soon that Brexit is a done deal,”
  •  “The best outcome of the upcoming negotiations would therefore be if a Brexit could be averted.”
  • “The German Council of Economic Experts calls for constructive negotiations to prevent an exit",

In this report they recommended Merkel take a soft and generous position towards the British ;to seek compromise over the contentious issue of intra-EU migration and seek to create a consensus in Europe encouraging the British change their mind and stay in the EU.Or at least seek a soft landing in the interests of Europe as a whole.

Those of us immersed in the British political and social culture will wonder: Who cares what a group of German experts think? The Germans. And therefore Angela Merkel.

In  British culture the"gifted amateur" and the casual,languid player are highly lauded. It is not surprising that politicians, the tabloids and journalist generally should feel this way.This after all broadly describes their class and gives them license to pontificate, criticize and,indeed,rule.
                                                    
                                                         Permanent Secretary for Permanence

This system has been taken to its logical conclusion in government.Most senior civil servants have general first degrees from Oxbridge and went to the right schools. Cabinet ministers rarely serve in a department for more than two years and even more rarely have any real expertise in the subject matter over which they preside.

This is not to say that they are stupid, malign or lazy.Although they may well be.
                                                            
Just that they are ill-prepared and typically not the best qualified to do a good job.This system is of course Democratic in the sense that to become a minister you have to be  first elected to Parliament by the people; apparently very Democratic.In fact a recipe for capture and control by the permanent [gifted amateur] civil service.As well as individual MPs being in thrall to the Prime Minister who chooses you for the job.


In Germany qualifications, and relevant experience are more highly prized. This is true from the extensive apprenticeship system in the crafts all the way through to the social premium extended to continued higher education. It is unusual for a senior civil servant or business leader not to have a second-degree and a surprisingly large number have doctorates relevant to their professional area.


No that does not mean King Cyclops wishes the British were more like the Germans.The King certainly notes that higher degrees have not created particular German competence in the subtleties, analysis and implementation of foreign policy. It's just to note that this respect for expertise and training seems to have paid off at least in terms of economic achievement.They may or may  not be as happy as or as much fun to be with as the British. They also usually beat us at football.

But I have digressed substantially. The point is that this group of experts will exert significant influence and give Merkel the political space to seek creative compromises with Theresa May. Barring bad health or cataclysmic events,these two daughters of the protestant clergy will shape the future of Europe for a generation.

                                                  ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?!?

The King hopes they have the imagination,wisdom and vision;as well as the ability to seek sound advice.The early signs are not good. Monnet,Schumann or Adeneur they are not.Nor is there a Maynard Keynes in the upper reaches of Whitehall.

 THE SECOND ITEM                          THE HIGH COURT

This was of course much more widely noted
http://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/high-court-rules-that-may-needs-mps-approval-to-trigger-article-50-tnjgrfn9c
The landmark High Court judgment ruled:Theresa May does “not have power” to trigger Article 50.  Only Parliament can  begin the process of leaving the EU.

                                                               IT AFFIRMED

                                              [yeah its stilted English but worth reading]

"The powerful constitutional principle that the Crown [that's the government] has no power to alter the law of the land by use of its prerogative powers is the product of an especially strong constitutional tradition in the United Kingdom. It evolved through the long struggle to assert parliamentary sovereignty and constrain the Crown’s prerogative powers. It would be surprising indeed if, in the light of that tradition, parliament, as the sovereign body under our constitution, intended to leave [this] continued existence."

It means the people elect the parliament,parliament passes laws and places checks on the government.Imperfect as it may be, that's part of the essence of British Democracy and therefore freedom.No mention of plebiscites here.

Who would've thought King Cyclops would be paying tribute to three old establishmentarians dressed in wigs, cravats, kaftans and garters.They have stood three square as a bulwark against the tyranny of the [temporary] majority. Champions of the parliamentary,representative form of democracy.Guarding against the hysteria and jingoism of the demagogues and the mob.

                                                
Think I'm exaggerating? Read  the tabloids, listen to Nigel Farage, Liam Fox and the other zealots. You would think that the judges had abolished freedom and democracy. In fact they have protected our democracy against an overweening government acting without the license of Parliament.That Parliament which  contains our elected representatives – however pathetic individually and as a group.

The judges made clear that they were not ruling on the merits of the EU, Brexit, government policy, or anything other than the primacy of Parliament over the Executive in the making and rescinding of laws.The alternate  ruling would have given the executive power to steamroller our elected representatives and take us further along the road to the overweening concentration of power in the hands of a single party leader.

King Cyclops applauds their integrity and is grateful for their protection.

Mrs.May is not so enthusiastic.

                               
But then parliamentary scrutiny  of Mrs.May's strategy and objectives will prove very,very problematic--she does not have any;beyond pacifying her little Englanders. Brexit means Brexit. As in BS means BS.

                                              A  SNAP ELECTION ?


  I will not overly dwell further on this,it has been much covered in the media.It has caused panic amongst the LEAVE  leadership and press ;their greatest fear is that parliament will actually insist on due deliberation of the British negotiating position and objective and that the process will inevitably lead to another referendum.

 They do not believe in further referendum.Like Stalin in the Baltics and Eastern Europe:One man, one vote--one time.

  • "I worry that a betrayal may be near at hand."--Nigel Farage UKIP 
  • ‘Enemies of the people’ screams the front page of the Daily Mail
  • the 17 million people who backed Brexit have ‘every right today to fear they will be cheated’--the SUN newspaper 
  • It failed to mention 15.5 million voted the other way.--[one vote ,one time?]
  • The Daily Express -‘fight, fight, fight’ and compares the current situation to ‘a crisis as grave as anything since the dark days when Churchill vowed we would fight them on the beaches’
  • I think the Express is still angry over the loss of Injaaa,

The Express goes on to call for an early general election which it has
"no doubt the Conservatives would win a thumping majority which would guarantee the safe and unimpeded passage of Brexit".

 The Times agrees and reports  "senior Tories are urging the PM to go to the polls next year",
http://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/may-is-urged-to-call-snap-election-over-brexit-ruling-sm9whqpqx

The FT  recognises "the temptation forTherese May to call a snap election "but advises against .


Will Mrs.May heed these siren calls and the howling from her base?
By the time you read this it may already have happened.
My guess is that it's the last thing she wants.This court ruling has given her a chance to slow down,have second thoughts,work out a real strategy and get control of the process.

An election will create a massive majority with upwards of 85 new Tory MPs...
Brexiteers all.Either from conviction or opportunism.Her room to maneuver will be gone. The Brexit faction will control the parliamentary party. These  crazies for leaving the EU also hanker after the old Empire and British Glory.They will be reactionary on Europe and on everything else. Think of the" tea party" in the US. This should be Theresa May's nightmare.

     We shall see

In the meantime the fat lady has gone on vacation.King Cyclops predicts Britain will stay in the single market and may not even leave the EU.

Clinton "Son" wants Monica's Blue Dress

                                                 
                                         You all know you were waiting for this one.



                                   Today's contribution to the Presidential Election:
 
                 Clinton's Son Seeks Monica Lewinsky's Blue Dress
 
 
 
Williams says he is now prepared to engage in a paternity lawsuit against Bill Clinton and is attempting to raise $100,000 on GoFundMe for legal fees.




 
Paternity suit, crowd funding and then an "investigation " by the FBI that Mr.Comey felt honour bound to "let my people know".
 
What is the Donald going to do with this tomorrow !
 
 
BUT THERE IS MORE TO COME:
 
Tomorrow, it will be revealed that the Donald is a flawed reject from Adolf's the  Boys from Brazil Programme.


THURSDAY,the revelation that Bill Clinton ,who never knew his father,was sired by visiting
aliens from Alfa Centauri.Or was that a regional sales manager from Alfa Romeo?

FRIDAY, Hillary will be revealed as the clandestine leader of the Zombie apocalypse.

SATURDAY Trumpf screams that jail is too good for the Clintons.He will propose a constitutional amendment allowing the President to assist in "Voluntary Euthanasia" .

SUNDAY, Comey at the FBI announces an urgent FBI investigation into Hillary's bad hand writing.

Finally on MONDAY, the EVEof the vote,Jerry  Falwell jnr. [son of Jerry Falwell  snr.] and  Jack Graham ,son of Richard Nixon's spiritual advisor,announce a "startling revelation" [presumably in the biblical,political  and ordinary meanings of the word]. That Jesus's  burial bed; ,http://nypost.com/2016/11/01/jesus-burial-slab-uncovered-for-the-first-time-in-centuries/ recently excavated at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher,has provided definitive evidence that the DONALD is the "SON OF THE SON". A direct descendant of the prophet from Galilee. 

    This announcement is greeted with Hosannas from Paul Ryan before he falls to his knees in awed silence. A spokesman says he will make no statement before a focus group is  convened. 

Trumpf  humbly acknowledges that he "always thought there was something special about me".

He pledges to build an AMAAZING  monument on the site of the current "crummy church",to create a YUUGE new Charitable Foundation and to seek his circumcision--a big one- in the Holy Land before he is sworn in as President.
 
On the same day Isis surrenders Dabiq [Armageddon] and a lion is rumoured to have lain with a lamb.
 
 
On election day Trumpf's evangelical base take these  revelation as proof of the Messiahs return  and of the "end time' .They  buy up supplies for the Rapture and do not bother to vote.
 
On Wednesday the Pope announces that only the True Church can announce the End of The World.He will convene a conclave to review the facts and hopes its conclusions will be available before the end of the recount in Florida.
 
At the end of the week Clinton is confirmed as the winner of the 2016 Presidential election.
 
The evangelicals take this as the final proof of the End of the World.
 
Trumpf blames the Jews
