Why did Hillary lose to Obama eight years ago?
Updated on : January 17, 2022 by Alisha Jones
At the end of the Bush administration, many Americans hated a vague notion called "political establishment." Clinton was seen as a quintessential "Washington insider" and that was deemed a bad thing. Obama was perceived (mostly incorrectly) as an "outsider" and therefore attractive.
Much the same thing happened at the end of the Obama administration and led to the election of Trump.
The Democratic party liked him more, felt he had more appeal and less baggage. People seem to think that the party is there to represent the people and it is not, it is like a club and do you know how not everyone in a club makes the rules and decisions? Well, the same thing happens with the party leadership. There are active members and most simply register with a party to vote in the primaries.
Some thoughts:
He (Mitt Romney) was never a very popular candidate. Despite media reports to the contrary, most people were never "hot" about Mitt Romney. It just "wasn't Obama" and that, in the end, was not enough to win him the presidency.
The Republican Party is in disarray: If the Republican Party had been a more united party and given its full support to Mitt Romney, it could have won. However, Romney was beaten and bruised by members of his own party in the primaries and recovered from those assaults.
Romney's tax returns: This hung on Romney like a millstone. He simply cou
Romney's tax returns: This hung on Romney like a millstone. He simply could not avoid the suspicions that he was hiding a secret and that cost him the necessary votes. In hindsight, he should have published his statements, regardless of the consequences.
Paul Ryan - Fox News promotions and conservative pundits aside, Rep. Ryan was and is a distinctly unsavory individual. He really contributed little to Romney's ticket (his presence didn't even allow Romney to capture Ryan's home state of Wisconsin) and his budget plan made many seniors fear for their Medicare benefits. This was an exceptionally reckless choice of running mate from the start that never got better.
The Republican Party was seen as being on the "wrong side" of several key social problems: abortion, gay rights, equal pay for women; they were all crucial issues and the Republican Party apparently decided to place its flag on the side that did not appeal to the majority of Americans. If they had taken even moderate positions on these issues, they might have been successful. They chose a more extreme point of view and the result was failure.
The Republican Party is not a "big top". By that I mean the Republicans entered their convention as an almost entirely white American party in an era where the country is moving away from that. With few minorities and fewer women (even white American women, curiously), they simply did not appeal to the masses and the loss of Romney was the result.
The economy is improving: The Republican Party never managed to argue that they could (or could) improve an economy that is already improving. His best arguments about the US economy were "it should have happened faster," which is not a winning claim. An improving economy brought their positions on social issues to the fore and cost them the election.
The Republican Party did not come up with its strongest candidates: From Florida Senator Marco Rubio to New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, all the "heavyweights" in the Republican Party read the political "tea leaves" and decided that 2012 was not your year. Without his best and brightest, there was simply no way the Republicans could win against President Obama.
The Republican Party was played - from framing Romney as an out-of-touch plutocrat - to making it appear that a popular American president was actually an "underdog"; In promoting articles about the Republican Party's clumsy efforts to disenfranchise voters, the Democratic Party outperformed the Republican Party. As the Republican Party concentrated on one defense area, the Democrats simply changed course and attacked them from another angle. The political dominance displayed by the president and his reelection campaign was truly "masterful" and was simply too much for the Republicans.
President Obama is not such a bad leader: Although the Republican Party and conservative pundits tried to scratch him off with a lot of brushes (including the dreaded Jimmy Carter label, a nightmare for any successful Democrat), they never could. Obama Passed A Necessary Health Care Measure; helped save the American auto industry; prevented the collapse of the American economy ... and killed Osama bin Laden. Alone, any of them would have earned him re-election. The sum total of them was too great for any candidate to defeat him in this electoral cycle.
There are more elements (I was going to mention Romney's dog) but I think ten elements will suffice.
Willard Mitt Romney lost because he never had a chance.
Why did Hillary Clinton lose the 2016 US elections? Good question. By November, Hillary's campaign (also the Obama White House) had gone from winning the presidency to shaming Donald Trump (and accusing Trump of Russian collusion).
First, the Trump campaign was shocked to find that they were going to lose on November 8, 2016, Election Day. Now acting US President Donald J. Trump never believed the polls or much research. He has a feeling about America and its people. Hillary spent twice what Donald did on the campaign. She raised half of what Obama raised in little money
First, the Trump campaign was shocked to find that they were going to lose on November 8, 2016, Election Day. Now acting US President Donald J. Trump never believed the polls or much research. He has a feeling about America and its people. Hillary spent twice what Donald did on the campaign. She raised half of what Obama raised in small contributions of money (a bad omen). Donald Trump had a plane, an energetic base that hated Bill and Hillary Clinton and had rallies all over the United States in states that could change elections. The same base hated MSNBC and CNN. He was pretty sure he was going to win until Election Day. All exit voting was available that afternoon for the candidate and his family,
At Trump's first campaign rally on Cape Cod in Massachusetts, all donor money was returned because in the first primaries, Trump wanted to use his own money. To hell with the lobbyists and K Street. Supporters of the Democrats (we're not talking independents, we're talking liberal Democrats) were donating cash because they didn't want a paper trail that a check could leave for nosy reporters and a Hillary / Democrat operative ready to seek revenge for a cross. party donation.
At rallies, where Trump spoke for an hour or more (no script), no teleprompter, there were lines of more than a mile of staunch supporters waiting to enter. They were all day events. People waited patiently in the rain and snow. They bought MAGA caps and T-shirts. There were tens of thousands of people who attended these events, like the one in Lowell, Massachusetts, just across the line from New Hampshire. Trump had a lot of fun. He really enjoyed the campaign test, the energy, the excitement. He was on TV and on social media constantly. And it was pissing off the establishment. All the things he liked to do on a daily basis.
Almost by divine intervention, Hillary was having heart problems, fainting, etc. Huma's husband was going to jail. Convicted of sexting minors. As another long-forgotten sexual pervert, Bill Clinton was spotted with the Energizer Bunny in Chappaqua, NY. A former Secret Service agent, Bill's ex-high school girlfriend, and Juanita Broaddrick were hanging around the radio, some selling books about the two from Whitewater / Little Rock. The book tours affected Hillary's credibility. Hillary stopped listening to her husband, Bill. Bill warned him over and over again. But she wanted to win alone and did not want to follow Bill Clinton's advice. Instead, he was following the advice of a 20-something idiot with computer data. Got damn, any day of the week he would take political advice from Bill Clinton. He couldn't campaign 24/7. Unlike Trump, that seemed to be everywhere. Then Jim Comey dumped a pile of garbage just before the election.
Second, you need to understand that "pink" hats only number about 4 million in the US All this nonsense of socialism and the right to choose is only stoked by a very small part of the electorate, some of whom do not. they vote. They live in New York City and the California coast (two states that Hillary passed through). But, the mainstream media turn them into this huge wave of voters. Are not. All low-educated Trump supporters vote, always vote (maybe not for Dole, McCain & Mittens). And they vote by the tens of millions.
Third, after George W. Bush, the evangelical vote was not cast in favor of John McCain and Mitt Romney (they did not actually attend GHW Bush, not in large numbers). No group hated those two RINOs (Republicans in name only) more than Evangelicals. Perceptions on the previous two standard bearers: John McCain was really a neoconservative with no ingrained value except having sex. Romney was and is a capitalist who looks down on 99% of us. He affirmed it in some private speeches. And he coined the phrase the 99 percent. The Big Numbers: 1 in 3 evangelicals in the United States are people of color. They go to church more than once a week. They read the Holy Bible. They love Ben Carson. They love Herman Cain. They love our military, our patriotic past and present. They love and revere the national flag. And they love Donald J. Trump because he loves all of those things. Period.
They were not looking for an impeccably clean and sinless leader, but a defender of the faith; someone with a brave heart; someone who defends the First and Second Amendments. Someone who wouldn't necessarily be pro-life, but would defend the pro-life position (the exact opposite of Ronald Reagan, who did nothing for the pro-life crowd). And they found in Donald J. Trump the most unlikely candidate. Trump was personally a vulgar television, a 21st-century Howard Hill professor, a four-time billionaire, and a playboy who had a lot of bedpost notches. He was divorced twice. But Trump was not afraid to show who he is: The "F" word made it to his campaign rallies, mocked and ridiculed other candidates, called Ben Carson a "psycho," called JEB Bush "
There was a campaign stop at a small restaurant in Manchester, New Hampshire. An interlocutor rebuked Trump and either left or was removed from office. Trump didn't look up from the sandwich he was eating, but apologized to the rest of the diners for disturbing his lunch. It's called the common touch.
In the first Republican debate, he handed it back to Megyn Kelly bluntly and rightly: "I don't have time to be politically correct." Big applause. He took on pro-Republican lobbyists in public. She supported Angel moms and victims of illegal immigrant crimes. He did the things that other candidates found (politically) reckless.
Fourth, tens of millions of evangelicals listen to Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, and even Howie Carr. All of those radio personalities are rabid advocates for life and the Second Amendment. Everyone supported Donald Trump. 81% of white evangelical voters elected Trump in 2016. 60% of white Catholics voted for Trump. 42% of women voted for Trump. 29% of Latinos and Asians voted for Trump. Conservatives voted for Trump. While Trump did not lead the Republicans from the establishment, the grassroots and even many Trumpers never voted for Trump. Trumpeters always cover their noses when talking about Mitch McConnell or Lindsey Graham. Number one on his hate list is Paul Ryan, former president.
I cannot underestimate how desperate many grassroots Republicans were for a candidate other than Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, John Boeher, Mitt Romney, and John McCain. Mitt Romney stopped campaigning 14 days before the 2012 election. Trump campaigned until the wee hours of the morning on Election Day. Grassroots love, I mean I absolutely love Sarah Palin. But he knew that she would not take them to the promised land. Grassroots Republicans were crushed by NAFTA. They lose business to illegal contractors and day laborers.
Fifth, I personally know that what he says a lot about Donald Trump, he says by effect. It's not misleading, but the way things phases is basically a lie, a bold lie. Everyone knows that he is lying and accepts it as his mannerism, even his detractors. People deep down don't like being lied to. But, what they really don't like is getting angry. We have had four presidents in a row: GHW Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barrack Obama along with three Republican leaders: Bob Dole, John McCain, and Mitt Romney, along with three Democrats: Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, and John Kerry. that basically pissed us all off in America. Now, establishment Republicans (and Democrats) might revere these men (and women) for their great achievements; Most Americans (the grassroots) feel that the leadership of the last 40 years was a joke, some deep state operation, but also weak, criminal and stupid. I think all Americans are tired of endless war in the Middle East. And these politicians lied where the lie counts most: in the pocket or in the wallet.
Sixth, all the sexual harassment complaints about Donald Trump fell on deaf ears. Those voters were convinced they were voting for a man they would normally have rejected and despised, that's how firmly committed these people are to their candidate and now president. I don't think Donald Trump has sexually harassed anyone. He could have commented on their appearance (construction is a dirty and difficult business) or kissed them on the cheek, but trust me, there is a line of women eager to be with Donald Trump, the billionaire. Not so many to be with Donald Trump, the 72-year-old man. I think most understand the difference, although some would use it to propel Hillary to the presidency.
To finish, all is fair in love, war and politics. Actually. I thank James Comey. Jim Comey did the American people a great service by dumping that crap on Hillary at the last minute. The same cannot be said for the mainstream media. They have done the same American people a disservice by supporting dire presidential candidates on both sides of the aisle. Hillary lost because so many independents, including Democrats, were voting for Trump. Many union members voted for Trump. Trump was the first president of the United States to be elected for all intents and purposes as a populist. Most of his party did not campaign for him and ended the Bush political dynasty (thank goodness). Washington DC is not broken, it is corrupted. Maybe, Trump will break the suffocating bypass grip they have over the rest of us. Of all the politicians mentioned, the only person who allows me to get a good night's sleep is Trump. I'm not surprised.
Trump's 'base of support' is almost all the people who have been trained to 'hate' and fear the previous president, Barack Obama, (through a series of baseless accusations that were never true and that could never produce any fact that endorse: that is, Obama was certainly not going to 'take our arms'; he was not' planning a military coup in Texas', he was not even 'a secret Muslim' with the intention of 'instituting Sharia law'.) The 'base 'of Trump are people who have spent 30 years hearing conspiracy stories about Bill and Hillary Clinton. Trump mentions Obama and the Clintons as the bogeyman because he is j
Trump presents Obama and the Clintons as The Bogeyman because he's smart enough to know that he will keep these people fired up and focused on a perceived enemy and NOT paying attention to the bad work he and his administration are doing to protect the people. most. US citizens, or make any plans for their success,
Donald Trump has made isolationism a cornerstone of his administration. By severing diplomatic ties with our Allies, you are removing all loyalty and goodwill that took generations to create. Many of these countries that Trump disrespects were our steadfast partners and supported us in WWII, as well as in all the major and minor conflicts before and after. The treaties, which took years to plan and perfect, are now treated by the current president as throwaway, if something better comes along. This presiding businessman wants to apply The Art of the Deal to diplomacy, but he comes equipped with a chainsaw and butcher knife instead of a boning or filleting knife to trim the fat. Their system of tariffs and threats has mostly failed,
Instead of Donald Trump and the Secretary of Labor focusing on creating better plans for American workers to earn a living wage, they are dismantling the regulations that forced American corporations to respect our fragile environment. IF these companies do not have to keep the water and air cleaner due to environmental restrictions, they may raise or buy back shares of the company and become richer and more powerful. IF fewer American citizens have access to affordable health care, it will mean MORE wealthy Americans can stop paying higher taxes and keep that money for themselves without concern or consideration for the physical well-being of our citizens.
IF there is less tax dollars and less oversight of our public school system, headed by a poorly prepared Secretary of Education, the education received by millions of American children will not adequately train the next generations of citizens to take responsibility and they will be easier to administer. in the new order of Republican-led plutocracy with Donald Trump (or someone equally easy to influence) as the figurehead.
You could be accused that the blatant denials of climate change by the Trump administration are putting our nation, its people, its shores, and its long-term future in ultimate jeopardy. During the less than two years of the Trump administration, there has been a painful demonstration of what our future holds: worse wildfires, bigger and fiercer hurricanes, more extensive and destructive floods in some places, and catastrophic droughts in others. As our nations' natural resources are destroyed and we lose billions of dollars in value to burning or razed communities across our country, Trump scoffs at the Paris Agreement and insists that, like so much else he fears or does not fear understand, "it is all a hoax invented by the Chinese" or (perhaps,
Yes, Obama and the Clintons - these are among the favorite scapegoats used by Donald Trump to blame for his own glaring flaws as incumbent president. If he can convince enough people that "Obama and the Clintons" are to blame, that their existence is, in some way, still a "threat" to our democracy, then he can continue with the illusion (deception) that he is " (probably) the greatest president of all time. "AND THAT, FOLKS, is WHY Donald Trump is still whipping that tired old horse two years after he won office, which he lied to and made his way to in November of 2016.
Because a candidate was the most experienced and qualified candidate in history. Someone with empathy. Someone who understands how the government works. Someone smart and humble enough to put competent people in key positions and listen to their advice. I cannot think of a potential candidate in 2020 that I would have voted against Biden from any political party.
And the other option was a furious narcissist who painted himself as a circus clown, surrounded himself with incompetents and criminals, constantly abused his position and violated his oath, who took the leadership of
And we haven't even addressed the mismanagement of a pandemic and the cause of half a million deaths, or suggest that we could treat the virus with a fish tank cleaner or infusions of sunlight and Lysol. Obviously, Trump was not mentally well, and any rational person would have literally voted for anyone other than Trump in 2020.
Well, you know, Hillary is so damnable! Here's a woman who cushioned the political equivalent of a six-inch putt, losing the presidency to a reality TV star with enough baggage to blow up a dozen political careers. How not to make such an epic mistake?
Also, it's not just Trump supporters who are turning to Her Hillaryness. Anyone who hasn't read the new book, Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton's Doomed Campaign, should. It is a stinging exposition of the incompetence, paranoia and lies of the woman who, we were told, was the most qualified person to ever run for office.
Also, it's not just Trump supporters who are turning to Her Hillaryness. Anyone who hasn't read the new book, Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton's Doomed Campaign, should. It's a poignant exposition of the incompetence, paranoia, and lies of the woman who, we were told, was the most qualified person to run for president. Well, no. Turns out, he couldn't even put together an effective campaign team. The narrative of his candidacy, qualified, competent, who will surely be excellent in the government, is exposed as a myth.
The Nixonian adjective tends to be overused, but reading Shattered will remember it over and over again. The problem with the Hillary campaign was Hillary. Cherishing loyalty above all else, he isolated himself from criticism, bad news, in fact, from reality. Third qualifiers like Huma Abedin could and did parley slavish devotion to power and influence. The campaign became rival centers of power, at war with each other over lines of authority and access to the candidate. Only Hillary Clinton had all the strings ... and she had no idea which to pull, which to let loose, and which to cut.
So Hillary Clinton greatly deserves to be criticized, especially by the Democrats who handed her her party's nomination only to watch helplessly as she ruined it. But hey, if you prefer to back up your post-election complaints and excuses now, that's fine by me.
I was a ward leader for the local Democrats. My job was to knock on every registered Democrat's door in my neighborhood and encourage them to vote. I did this twice before the election and had a lot of interesting conversations with the Democrats. My neighborhood is 60% Democratic.
My own experience is that I voted for the Green Party candidate in each of the previous elections, but I felt, this time, that Trump was an existential threat to my country and, although I would have preferred Bernie, it was important that Clinton beat him to Trump. I volunteered.
The first thing I noticed was that there was no Clin
The first thing I noticed was that there was no Clinton nonsense; no buttons, no signs in the garden, nothing like a handout. They told me that the Clinton campaign had not made such a thing available in the state of Oregon.
I had many friendly conversations with the Democrats in the neighborhood and almost all of them said that they would vote for Clinton because they are afraid of Trump and that they would not vote or vote for someone else otherwise.
Clinton had these slogans like "fighting for us" and "stronger together" which were supposed to be the counterbalance to Trump's very consistent "Make American Great Again." Then we have Trump's "Crooked Hillary" to which Clinton responded that Trump is a "loose cannon." All of these things are just plain stupid.
We are in a situation where the world is threatened by the environmental and economic catastrophe of global warming. We were in a situation where millions of people lost their homes during the financial collapse of 2007-2008 and continued to suffer throughout the Obama administration and the strongest thing that came out of Clinton's mouth is "continuing the progress that we have made under President Obama". What's that?!
Personally, I cringed every time Clinton repeated one of his stupid slogans. No, I'm not with her. I voted against Trump. That's why Clinton lost because a campaign message that is basically I'm not him is not enough.
Colin Powell said Clinton will be defeated by her own arrogance. I think he is the closest to anyone to understand why Clinton lost. Podesta's emails show that Clinton's staff believed that she could have resolved the entire email server controversy if she had reacted in a timely manner, but ignored what became one of the big controversies used to undermine her. credibility. Clinton's staff was incredulous about it. Why didn't you do something about it? She ignored him out of arrogance.
The emails also show, and Donna Brazile's book contributes to this, as do the arguments in court by DNC attorneys, that the Clinton campaign colluded with the DNC to defeat Sanders. Clinton didn't bother to put this in her book. He also didn't put the unethical relationship he had with members of the press, including Donna Brazile, which he used to defeat Sanders. However, he defeated Sanders in an unfair and unethical collaboration believing he was better able to run for president against a populist like Trump. He is brain dead. Did you have to cheat to win and yet are you the most qualified? It was doomed and now we have Trump. In fact, I'm a little embarrassed that I tried to get the vote out of him.
What if Obama wasn't as good a president as many seem to claim?
Let me point out that when he was elected, Obama was supposed to be the opposite of George W. Bush.
Instead, we saw a president who:
Increased inequality and, in many cases, signed legislation that increased inequality.
He had a cabinet selected by Citigroup.
He refused to go after Wall Street executives over the 2008 crash.
He didn't reinstall Glass-Steagall or anything but Dodd-Frank happened, which overlooked too many problems.
He chose to write a debilitating healthcare system that even today bitterly divides Americans nicknamed Obamacare,
He chose to write a debilitating healthcare system that even today bitterly divides Americans nicknamed Obamacare, rather than attempting to copy, say, the Canadian healthcare system or at least attempting to implement a serious public option.
They largely continued Bush's wars and started new ones, in Libya, for example, while "breaking out" in Afghanistan.
It did not address Washington's fundamental problem, which is political corruption.
He had a pro-austerity budget and made no attempt after the first partial stimulus.
He waged an unprecedented war against whistleblowers.
It did not mobilize its base in an attempt to tackle the very problems it had to solve. He could have used his base to try to outmaneuver an obstructionist Republican. There was a lot of goodwill after his election. He chose to throw it away.
I don't think Obama is well regarded. In fact, I suspect they will compare him to James Buchanan, who was facing a deep crisis and making a bad situation worse.
There is a reason why Bernie Sanders gained such popularity. It was because Obama had failed to achieve the Change we pushed so hard in 2008. There is a reason why Clinton's attempt to claim that she was Obama's third term did not generate enthusiasm.
Combine that with Clinton's poor campaign skills and the Democratic National Committee's unethical sabotage of Bernie Sanders, then you have Trump.
Is this how people decide the candidates? So strange.
"You didn't like Obama from the beginning." Standard group bias? You can't even be objective when it comes to your nation.
"He spoke the same thing in speech after speech, then it got boring." I wonder if he can discuss the actual politics and the content of the speeches. 'Boring' indeed.
Again more prejudice about Hillary. And are you comparing her to Sarah Palin? Democrats don't like him for about 100 reasons. What are your reasons for hating Hillary? I don't think you have any. Here there is no equivalence. You just slim
Again more prejudice about Hillary. And are you comparing her to Sarah Palin? Democrats don't like him for about 100 reasons. What are your reasons for hating Hillary? I don't think you have any. Here there is no equivalence. You think you hate her because you're an indoctrinated member of the Republican Party and you're supposed to. Nowhere in the descriptions has he mentioned anything that worries him. He is buying the rhetoric and seems to think it is a fact that Obama was bad for the country. And that Hillary will be bad for the country. For no other reason than they are Democrats? 'You are extremely worried' indeed. And I doubt you can tell me why. And you used 'literally' wrong.
All this just because you're a Republican. This is the strangest phenomenon I have ever encountered. Nationalism, racial identities, religious identities are absolute and immutable, there is myopia and a certain inability to see the other sides. But this is 'politics and ideological identity', and you're essentially being an indoctrinated, unthinking sheep in this prejudiced herd of your group. This is not how you are supposed to operate. Try to come up with some ideas of your own, if you can, and see who yours align with. This is how you are supposed to choose a side. Jesus.
"At least she's pretty" sums it up about you, I think. Also, there is a lack of thought here. Hillary is 67 years old. Sarah is 51 years old. Hillary looked good when she was younger. Sarah never looked as good as ever.
Note: I am not a Democrat or a Republican because I am not even an American. But I had to answer and mention all this. Because it is unsettling.
The same reason everyone else lost to Barack Obama. Are you kidding? Young, personable, charismatic, with great promise, excellent speaker, catchy posters, incredibly credible candidate for first black president, which in itself was an event that must have passed a long time. It was refreshing, populist, idyllic, and charming at the same time. I don't want to put too much weight on race here, but it's an inexhaustible source of public image for a country fed up with having old, uncomfortable whites running it, especially after Bush.
I didn't even vote for the guy, but I can acknowledge the utter futility of trying to oppose an image as strong as O
I didn't even vote for the guy, but I can acknowledge the utter futility of trying to oppose an image as strong as Obama's. You would think that Hilary would be a credible candidate to run against him for somewhat similar reasons, but the idea of an "inherited" or "dynastic" candidate is radically unappealing at the moment, and her rigid demeanor is more like the candidates of the last. not. The only result that could have been a loss. The only thing that surprises me is that people might be surprised.
A key, and unfortunate, difference is probably in foreign policy, and in the area I'm most informed (and most sensitive) about: American policy toward the Middle East.
Mrs. Clinton has made it very clear that she intends to pursue a more aggressive strategy in Syria and also repair the relationship between the United States and its "key allies" in the region, namely Saudi Arabia and Israel. It also identifies Iran as the main enemy of the United States in the region (in my opinion, a serious miscalculation that has hurt both countries for a long time).
This results in further confrontation with Russia and Iran, first in Syria and th
This translates into further confrontation with Russia and Iran, first in Syria and then directly. There will be even less hope in the Palestinian peace process (unless Mrs. Clinton "swaps" the pressure on Iran by a few points for the Palestinians), and the re-ignition of the slowly healing gap between Iran and the United States. I hope the Clinton administration will take us back (before the second Bush) in ME politics, to the times of "liberal hegemony" where the United States sprinkles "democracy" on its adversaries (and promotes regime change), while doing a blind eye to serious crimes committed by their allies. In this sense, we will miss Obama very much. Not that his strategy was perfect,
In particular, I hope that Iran will be given less slack in terms of reaping the (already weak) benefits of the nuclear deal, and more unilateral sanctions against Iran. In such a case, the positive effects of the nuclear deal will quickly wear off (on both sides) and, within Iran, this will hurt proponents of an "open" approach to the west. Especially since Iran is possibly in its most important transition in decades (a new supreme leader), this will carry a serious risk to both Iranian and American interests in the region.
I sincerely hope that Mrs. Clinton will change her philosophy and approach once elected president, as people say she is a great listener. However, it will matter a lot who listens: Netanyahu and Prince Muhammad Bin Salman will be of no use.

Now, this might be a cliché topic, but it's something that I have really come to learn. Also, how doing what's best for you, can help you really find yourself. I read this quote online, "Sometimes you have to do what's best for you and your life, not what's best for everyone else." This hit me hard because I was always doing what seemed best for everyone around me. When it came time for me to make my own life's decisions, I always took others opinions very seriously, and that affected me on what I thought I should do. Now, I'm not saying input from others is bad because sometimes it can be helpful, I just mean when it comes to your decisions in your life, you decide what you want for yourself.
Now one story that I will share was a major life-changing event, and it's a personal story, but I would like to share it with y'all because it has helped me figure out who I am and maybe I can assist you in some way too.
We subsequently found a program whose credits would be accepted to colleges, but I would have to start again with my freshman year, and it set me back in schooling.

Luckily, I had friends from church and some who I kept in contact with, and eventually, I met new people later.
My friends are getting ready to graduate, and I'm over here feeling like I can't graduate with them, like a loner, dumb all because I got behind in school work. I know this may seem overrated, but I wanted to be one of those walking across the stage and receiving a diploma. Also, during this time, I was dealing with depression, which led to me being very unmotivated with my schooling. I just wanted to be done, give up, basically quit everything! And that's exactly what I did. When my parents started to notice I wasn't doing anything with school, they kept trying to push me. The more they pushed me, the more I didn't want to do it and didn't listen. Just like a normal teenager, right?
Then one day my Dad brought up the GED and how I should do that instead of doing nothing. I thought alright, you're right. So, we talked about the steps on how to get ready for the test, looking up prep courses/classes, and all the above. A few months passed, and I still hadn't progressed with any classes or steps; just feeling stuck again. Feeling like I let down my parents, I became even more depressed.
Now, you might be like, what? What does this have to do with "doing what's best for yourself?" I promise there is a point, keep reading.
My thoughts were about wanting to give up on school, wanting to leave the house, overall disappointment with where I was at, and feeling stuck. Then the scary part for me was talking to both of my parents about the depression and my self-harming. For the first time, after months of me hiding it.
It was such a scary moment to talk to them and just finally admitting it, and being open with them. They finally understood what was going on with me, and how deep my feelings were.
After this talk one day, my mom mentioned I should call my aunt and tell her because she has a better understanding of things due to her profession as a Psychologist. So, I called her and told her what was going on. She said "Why don't you come up and live with me for a while. We can figure out how to help you and get you on a good path." I told my parents the idea, and they weren't so sure at first, but finally thought it was ok to do, as it could prove to be a "soft landing" somewhere away from home, still in the protection of family, with a trusted relative who understands much of what I've been experiencing, professionally, and to a degree, personally.
Now, this is the thing that had a significant effect on me: my friends. When I was getting ready first to tell my best friends I was moving and why, my first thoughts to myself were, "What are they going to think of me leaving? What are they going to think when I tell them why? How am I supposed to say goodbye to the people that I've known for a big chunk of my life? I trusted them with everything and was worried about how they were going to react." Well, I can tell you I had some who supported me for going then there were others who questioned it, saying, "I'm fine," "get over it" or, "good luck, bye." I then realized some of these friendships were toxic and I let them go. I couldn't be held back, as much I loved my friends I had to leave and do what was best for me. I knew what I had to do for me and figure out how to change my life. But letting go of a best friend is a difficult thing to do because you tell them everything and spend so much time with them. For this person, I felt like I was always the one reaching out to them, and if they reached out to me, it was only for favors - buying them things, or doing things I didn't want to be a part of. So, it was a one-sided thing.
Have you ever heard of the Golden Rule in Algebra? If not, the saying for an equation is "Do unto one side of the equation what you do to the other." I know this is a silly way to think of it, but I like to relate to friendships/relationships in the way that it's an equal effort on both sides. It's a 50/50 effort for both people to reach out and try to help each other and feel wanted by the other person. So, I thought about the friendship, and it was time for no more negativity from people who honestly never helped me in the first place, and life was always about them.
To my best friends who stuck with me and were always there (still are) and loved me for me, I say "thank you," and I am forever grateful you are in my life. So, shout out to my girls, my "day ones," Bekah, Cosette, Tina, and Victoria. I love you all so much, and y'all are the best of the best. Even from losing a best friend before I left, I still gained an even better best friend while being at my Aunts, which leads me back to me living with my Aunt. I am thankful to her for opening up her home to me and having her help in guiding me through the process of the GED, completing it, and also receiving the help I needed from a counselor.
Dealing with so much time on my own while living with her, I got to know myself even more. And since I didn't have any friends, I had to keep myself busy. So, I would end up writing, or exploring the city. (which I love doing); working out, going for drives, listening to music, learning to do everything on my own, keeping up with the goals I had in mind, which was to go to prep classes for the GED and talk to my counselor on a weekly basis on my own. Deepening relationships and how much it means to not take family for granted. Especially with my parents and siblings. So, another shout out goes to my parents, and they are truly my "day ones" because they helped with literally everything. I love you, Mom and Dad! Thank you for always being there, for all the advice and guidance on everything. Right up until I left the situation at my Aunts, I ended up gaining an even better best friend, so things worked out in the end.
For doing what's best for you, follow your own lead; listen to your inner self. Maybe you will have to leave some friends behind or move to a new place, change jobs, change whatever your situation is, so you, yourself, can be happy. This is going to sound sappy, but life will always have its challenges. I can say looking back over the past year; I never would've expected what the past months have had in store for me both good and bad. Also, to be where I am currently with my mental state, relationships with family and friends and finally being happy with what I'm doing to accomplish what I've always wanted for myself. If you can believe in Santa for a good part of your life, then you can find in yourself for at least five minutes. Despite what challenges you're going through, stay strong. Believe in yourself and push through babes.

USC's Saxon to demonstrate body sensors in CNN feature
By Neil Versel
Digital health innovators continue to make the national, mainstream media.
Dr. Leslie Saxon, director of the Center for Body Computing at the University of Southern California, will be profiled by Dr. Sanjay Gupta on Sunday's episode of CNN's "The Next List," which airs at 2:30 p.m. EDT. The show, hosted by CNN chief medical correspondent Gupta, explores innovation in science and technology.
In a video preview CNN released Monday, Saxon, a cardiologist at USC's Keck School of Medicine, is shown watching people working out in a gym, saying, "I'm continually fascinated by how much athletes, patients, everyone wants their own data because they want to learn and be better and have better outcomes." At least one weightlifter appears to have a wireless sensor on the outside of his shirt, the kind of device Saxon has been using to gather data from elite athletes for several years.
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78GL9jlgLHM[/youtube]
Also making appearances in the short clip are AliveCor founder Dr. Dave Albert, creator of the (previously named) iPhone ECG, and Cleveland Indians first baseman Nick Swisher. CNN did not immediately respond to an inquiry about other devices and people mentioned in the half-hour show.
In a tweet Monday afternoon, Saxon said the CNN crew interviewed several Center for Body Computing members and followed around her team.
This feature on a national TV program follows Dr. Eric Topol, director of the Scripps Translational Research Institute in La Jolla, Calif., and another physician in the vanguard of the digital health revolution, being featured on NBC's "Rock Center with Brian Williams." Topol also is set to be a guest on "The Colbert Report" on Comedy Central next week.
The iPhone ECG was also shown and debated in a short segment on Fox News' "Sunday Housecall" Jan. 6, though participant mentioned neither Albert nor the product by name.
As MobiHealthNews noted last week, Topol used the iPhone ECG to diagnose atrial fibrillation of a fellow passenger – and possibly save her life – on his flight home from delivering a keynote address at HIMSS13. It was the second time Topol pulled out that device to treat a heart patient on an airplane, the first coming on a 2011 flight from Washington to San Diego that made an emergency landing near Cincinnati so a passenger having a heart attack could get immediate treatment.

I've been lost in a world of wedding celebrations and travelling and family visits since, well, it seems like a year now. BUT starting at the end of this month, no more parties, no more planning, only writing and getting back into the author swing of things. I'M SO EXCITED!
When you're an author, not writing is VERY difficult. You live and breathe your characters, they mind-chat with you and they commandeer your thoughts at the most inconvenient times--when you're working, doing chores, when you should be sleeping, you name it. So not having an outlet to get your thoughts down on paper is SO DISTRACTING!
To be able to use my writing time to actually start writing again is something that will be both challenging and liberating. Challenging because when you stop writing, or at least when I stop writing, I get out the habit and find myself staring blankly at a screen, uncertain where to start. Liberating because there isn't that gnawing sense of "you should be" and "I really want to be" going on underneath everything else you're trying to accomplish.
And so it begins... Chapter One.


College basketball season is here. As the games get heated, coaches need to remember to mind their p's and q's. A recent study conducted by Texas A&M University College of Education and Human Development sport researcher Dr. George Cunningham found that impolite coaches of NCAA women's basketball teams negatively impact their players and overall team performance.
Cunningham defined incivility as discourteous behavior. For example, a coach ignores a player or creates an exclusive environment that gives favor only to top players.
"It is not necessarily the overt, blatant form of disrespect, but more of a subtle form that adds up over time and creates a death by a thousand cuts phenomenon," Cunningham said.
Cunningham is a professor of sport management in the College of Education and Human Development. He mainly conducts research in the area of diversity and inclusion in sport. He teamed up with Dr. Kathi Miner, a psychological and brain sciences associate professor in the College of Liberal Arts, to look at how coach behavior and gender affects teams.
They spoke to NCAA Division I women's basketball players across the nation and gathered performance data from games and final scores.
Miner assessed player performance in relation to coach gender. "We found that regardless of whether the coach was a male or female, female college basketball players responded similarly and negatively to rude, uncivil behavior from their coach," Miner said.
Cunningham and Miner concluded that for a team to perform at its best, coaches must consider their behavior as part of team outcomes.
This research is also applicable for other relationships, like supervisor and employee. Civility can go a long way in boosting worker morale and helping all teams perform at a higher rate.

All treatment should be directed at the entire family of the identified refugee patient. The refugee crisis initiates a process in which surviving family members become the major social support system. The disruption and disintegration of stable communities and traditional social supports place the entire burden of survival upon family members. Sometimes in extreme situations, where a refugee is so depressed, psychotic, or socially withdrawn that the family can be of little help, the psychiatrist must reach out to the patient and establish a one-to-one therapeutic relationship until family members can be of assistance.

Бельведер 21 (; до 2018 года имел название 21-й дом, 21; до ноября 2011 года имел название 20-й дом, ) — здание из стекла и стали, построенное в 1958 году в стиле модернизма по проекту архитектора Карла Шванцера (1918—1975), как австрийский павильон на Всемирной выставке 1958 года в Брюсселе.

История
В 1958 году за перспективный и инновационный проект Шванцер был награждён премией «». В своём проекте Шванцер пытался создать максимально эффектный проект при минимальных затратах, поскольку бюджет Австрии был более ограниченным, нежели бюджеты других стран, принимавших участие в выставке «Экспо 58». Лёгкость конструкции верхнего этажа здания размерами 40×40 метров, находящегося на высоте 6 метров над землёй, размещённого на четырёх опорах, создавала «плавающий» эффект. .

После окончания выставки павильон был демонтирован и перевезён из Брюсселя в швейцарский сад в район Ландштрасе, где с 1962 года в нём был открыт музей Вены XX века. В 1979—2001 годах здание принадлежало Музею современного искусства.

Современное состояние
В 2009—2011 годах здание было перестроено архитектором  и с 15 ноября 2011 года относится к дворцовому комплексу австрийской галереи Бельведер; с 2018 года носит название Бельведер 21.

В павильоне хранятся и экспонируются художественные произведения австрийского искусства ХХ и ХХІ веков, а также работы скульптора Фрица Вотруба. В здании также размещается Художественная библиотека федерального правительства Австрии.

В 1980-х годах, в 21-м доме состоялись большие выставки, где были представлены экспонаты из собраний Музея современного искусства в Нью-Йорке. В частности, были представлены работы художников Жана Дюбюффе, Энди Уорхола, Оскара Кокошки, Василия Кандинского и Георга Гросса.Внешне, после реконструкции 2009—2011 годов, архитектура здания почти не изменилась.

What kind of information can the tags relay other than, 'I am tag #8472′?
Otherwise, it sounds like a cool little project – good luck!
You can assign actions based on interaction with those tags, both on the phone and via a backend. So you could have a simple tag that opens an app on your phone, or track how many times a tag has been scanned by various people.


Previous message: [nafex] No Botner Scions?
I am the new apple group coordinator for NAFEX and have swapped and bought from Nick since the mid 80's. While I do not have as many varieties as Nick I do have a pretty good collection going. Right now I have 708 varities of apples and 60 something of pear. One variety per rootstock so I can keep track of them!
If interested in scion wood, send me an email to derekcs2005 at aol.com. I sell scions for $4 per variety and try to send a big enough piece to get two grafts per stick if possible. But that depends on how someone grafts. Plus the postage and packaging.

Regina, SK – Gene Makowsky was acclaimed by local Saskatchewan Party members to be the party's candidate once again for Regina Gardiner Park in the upcoming 2020 provincial election. Makowsky was first elected as the MLA for Regina Dewdney in the 2011 election, and re-elected in 2016 in the newly-formed constituency of Regina Gardiner Park.
Makowsky currently serves as the Minister for Parks, Culture, and Sport. Since elected in 2011 he has served as the Deputy Whip, Legislative Secretary to the Minister for Parks, Culture, and Sport, and was a member of the Legislative Standing Committee and Caucus Policy Committee of Crown and Central Agencies.
Makowsky pointed to the recent announcement of a balanced 2019-20 budget as one of the reasons he decided to put his name on the ballot again.
Makowsky is a graduate of the University of Saskatchewan where he received his bachelor's degree in Education with distinction. He is known for his 17 years playing offensive line with the Saskatchewan Roughriders, where he was named the CFL's Most Outstanding Lineman twice, a CFL All-Star five times and helped lead the Riders to a Grey Cup in 2007. In 2015, Makowsky was inducted into the CFL Hall of Fame.
Makowsky noted Premier Scott Moe's strong voice and support for Saskatchewan as another reason why he will run again in the 2020 election.
Makowsky and his wife, Tami, live in Regina and have three children.
The Saskatchewan Party has now nominated 32 candidates in advance of the 2020 election.

Huawei Verge (MetroPCS) Review
By Alex Colon
https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/huawei-verge-metropcs
The Huawei Verge is an inexpensive way to make calls on MetroPCS, but that's about all you can do with it.
Huawei Verge (MetroPCS) Huawei Verge (MetroPCS)
Inexpensive.
Lightweight.
Dismal camera.
Nearly nonexistent multimedia features.
MetroPCS users may get a lot more cell phones to pick from when the carrier merges with T-Mobile, but none more simple than the Huawei Verge. For just $29, the Huawei Verge is the cheapest way to get unlimited talk and text on MetroPCS for just $40 per month. Unfortunately, that's about the only thing this phone has going for it. The Verge packs a poor camera, and practically no multimedia features. It's fine for a backup line, or the occasional call, but keep looking if you want anything more than that.
Design and Call Quality
The Verge measures 4.57 by 2.06 by 0.49 inches (HWD) and weighs just 3.17 ounces. It looks and feels like a toy. The handset is made from cheap-feeling black plastic—matte on the back and shiny on the front. The 2.4-inch display features 320-by-240 pixel resolution. Like everything else about this phone, it's serviceable. Below the display are some function keys and a five-way control pad. And below those are four tiny rows of number keys that are clicky and well separated, though the backlighting is strangely uneven.
The Verge is a tri-band 2G 1xRTT (850/1700/1900 MHz) device with no Wi-Fi. The phone is 2G only, as MetroPCS lacks a 3G data network. The carrier has 4G LTE, but only some of its smartphones operate on it. Slow data aside, $40 per month gets you unlimited talk, text, and Web data. That makes the Verge a great deal, provided you live in a MetroPCS coverage area and can put up with the slow internet speeds.
Considering this phone's primary purpose is voice calling, the Verge only sounds average. Volume is loud in the phone's earpiece, though voices sound somewhat thin and hollow. On the other end, calls made with the phone sound clear enough, though background noise cancellation is poor. The speakerphone gets fairly loud, but it also begins to distort at higher volumes. Calls sounded fine through a Jawbone Era Bluetooth headset , but there's no voice dialing. Battery life was average at 7 hours and 17 minutes of talk time.
ZTE Avid 4G (MetroPCS)
Read ZTE Avid 4G (MetroPCS) Review
Apps, Multimedia, and Conclusions
The Verge has the same simple interface we've seen on other MetroPCS feature phones. The home screen has links to the main menu, apps, and widgets. The main menu is home to all of your standard features, like call logs, contacts, messages, a music player, settings, and tools. Apps pulls up icons of all your Web-based applications on the phone's home screen, and Widgets gives you quick access to a clock, calendar, and weather info, all splashed on top of your home screen.
The Obigo 5.0 browser does a decent job with WAP sites, but it's so slow that, combined with the 2G data, browsing the Web feels more like a chore than a benefit. Considering that you're paying for data as part of your monthly plan, it would be wise to choose a phone that can surf more adeptly. Email and IM clients are included for most standard accounts, and both worked fine. All of the typical apps make an appearance as well, including an alarm clock, calculator, notepad, stopwatch, and world clock.
You get 30MB of free internal memory. There's no microSD card slot, so what you see is what you get. Fortunately, you can't do much with the Verge, so that limited storage can go a long way. There's no music or video playback, so you're limited to the few apps on the phone, the slow Web browser, and a limited selection of apps from MetroPCS to keep you entertained.
Don't get this phone for the 1.3-megapixel camera—it's not good. Photos are so blurry and undefined they look like they were taken underwater. The only way to get the images off your phone is to send them via email or picture message. It should go without saying there's no video capture, perhaps out of mercy.
If you have no use for a phone outside of making phone calls, the Huawei Verge is your least expensive option on MetroPCS. But if you want a phone that does more than the bare minimum, you'll probably have more luck with the Huawei Pinnacle 2, which is the carrier's only other feature phone right now. We haven't reviewed it yet, but it's a modest update to the Huawei Pinnacle. At the very least, it gets you a decent BlackBerry-style keyboard, along with a music player. Considering you don't have to pay for an additional data plan, it might also be worth it to look into getting a smartphone. It'll cost the same $40 per month, but will expand your capabilities dramatically. A good place to start is the LG Motion 4G, which gets you a lot of Android bang for just a little more than the price of the Verge.

They're there. Files upon files. Folders upon folders. You can't see them, but they're taking up TONS of space on your hard drive AND they're keeping you from doing what you do best!
It's one thing to create and build a valuable resource library, but have you crossed the line from researcher to hoarder? One of the biggest challenges we can face in business is to cease and desist from searching for more and more information.
Clutter, in whatever form it takes, whether we can see it or not, uses energy. Energy to find it, save it and search through it.
1. Ancient History -all that information you've collected that is 3 years and older is probably outdated. Delete it.
2. Market Niche – everything that does NOT apply to your market niche needs to go. TIP: Can't let go? Give it a purpose – send that article, blog or whitepaper to a colleague whose business focus aligns with that piece.Then delete it.
3. Unsubscribe – you won't hurt that person's feelings if you remove yourself from their mailing list. If the content is not addressing your needs in your business RIGHT NOW then it's clutter.
4. Date it- when you save information, date it. Name the file with the date preceding it.
5. GOOGLE – You can find anything and everything WHEN YOU NEED IT! There's no reason to download every piece of information you come across because you 'might' need it.
Prioritize, organize and create strict guidelines for the information you feel you must keep. Regularly update and weed out files from your database that aren't current, pertinent or relevant.
Whenever you clear 'clutter', you create space to attract fresh, new and innovative ideas and people.

Burn (2019)
davecrewe / August 22, 2019
There's a spark of originality in Burn. It's near smothered by more-than-familiar elements, though: a low-budget, single-location drama – here set entirely in and around an isolated service station – with flashes of Tarantino-esque violence and neo-noirish ambiguity.
What elevates the film is its protagonist, Melinda. A casual worker at the servo, she's conjured by the ever-excellent Tilda Cobham-Hervey as an off-kilter creature; awkward and slightly too enthusiastic in even the most mundane interactions with customers. It's at once surprising and inevitable that she forms an immediate, if uncomfortable, bond with would-be robber Billy (Josh Hutcherson), who sets in motion a series of increasingly extreme events.
Burn's transition from act one to act two consistently shocks us with Melinda's choices, casting her as the rare female anti-hero. It's a shame, then, that the last third of the film can't live up to its promise, with the ensuing events suffering both from an unnecessary flashforward prologue – that saps the film of most of its tension – and the unfortunate choice to deny Melinda's agent of chaos character most of her chaotic agency. There's undeniably a glimmer of something special smouldering at the heat of Burn, but it's a shame that it never quite ignites.

Motions for Hopi AGM
Please email any amendments by Wednesday, November 25, midnight to office@hopoi.info
For a Middle East Free of Nuclear Weapons and other WMDs
Moshe Machover, London
The US imperialists, flanked by their hatchet man, Israel, and by their European camp followers — masquerading as 'the international community' – are accusing Iran of planning to manufacture nuclear weapons.
Under this pretext, they have mounted a vicious campaign of sanctions, whose real victims are the ordinary Iranian workers and impoverished masses; and they threaten Iran with massive military action.
We have no reason to believe in the imperialists' accusation, for which no solid evidence has been produced so far. Nor do we have any reason to trust the Iranian theocrats' protestations that their nuclear programme is for purely civilian use and that nuclear weapons are 'un-Islamic'.
Irrespective of these accusations and counter-protestations, it is indisputable that the existence and potential spread of nuclear weapons in the Middle East constitute a horrendous danger to the people of this volatile and conflict-ridden region, and an appalling global threat to humanity.
The imperialists' campaign in fact adds to this danger, as one of its clear, albeit unstated, aims is to preserve Israel's regional monopoly of nuclear weapons.
Israel, the most aggressive and expansionist state in the Middle East, launched the regional nuclear arms race in the late 1950s; in this it was secretly aided by France — as payment for Israel's service to French imperialism in the Suez aggression of 1956. Subsequently, the US and its satellites, including Britain, have lent their tacit support to Israel's nuclear status by joining the silent charade and studiously avoiding any official mention of it. They have tolerated Israel refusal to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (1968) and to ratify the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (1996).
Israel's massive arsenal of nuclear weapons – as well as other weapons of mass destruction – constitutes a constant grave provocation and a temptation to other states in the region to join the nuclear arms race. The suspected (albeit as yet unproven) nuclear-weapon ambition of the Iranian theocracy is just one illustration of this grave risk.
Attempts to preserve Israel's regional nuclear monopoly by use or threat of armed force will backfire, by reinforcing the incentive of the targeted state to produce nuclear weapons, or to develop and stockpile an alternative arsenal of other weapons of mass destruction (chemical and bioligical), which have in fact been used in some Middle-East conflicts.
The only long-term means of preventing the peril of regional proliferation of nuclear weapons is the nuclear demilitarization of the entire Middle East.
We therefore call for a mass grass-root campaign for a Middle East free of nuclear weapons, with the following aims:
• Prevention of development and manufacture of nuclear weapons and other
WMDs.
• De-commissioning of all existing nuclear weapons and other WMDs.
These must be underpinned by a treaty binding all states in the region, and verified by effective democratic international supervision.
We call upon all progressive organizations and individuals in this country, in the Middle East and throughout the world to join this campaign. In particular, we call upon the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament in the UK, and similar organizations elsewhere, to actively promote the above aims.
The campaign for a Middle East free of nuclear weapons is not a substitute for a campaign for global nuclear disarmament; on the contrary, the former is an integral part and a vital step towards the latter.
Sanctions are no alternative to war
Yassamine Mather, Glasgow
We are not privy to the discussion and divisions over Iran in the upper echelons of the US military and political establishment. We cannot therefore gauge the precise impact the election of Obama has made to the balance of forces in that ongoing debate. However, we do observe that:
a) Broadly, the aggressive thrust of US policy towards Iran remains in place, despite the placatory noises Obama has occasionally made. This includes a military option, possibly of quite devastating force, as the hawkish Clinton has warned;
b) This continuity provides a green light to Israel to continue its stand-off with the Tehran regime. A 'unilateral' Israeli strike cannot be excluded;
c) Existing sanctions – correctly identified by Hopi as an existing form of 'soft war' on the country – have been revamped and added to by the new administration.
The imposition of new sanctions under Barack Obamas presidency has compounded an already dire economic situation:
The Iran Sanctions Enabling Act (IRSA) of 2009 allows local and state governments and their pension funds to divest from foreign companies or US subsidiaries with investments of more than $20 million in Iran's energy sector.
The Iran Petroleum Sanctions Act (IRPSA) of 2009 imposes sanctions on companies who are involved in exporting refined petroleum products to Iran or who are expanding Iran's capacity to produce its own refined products. Similar sanctions are likely to be imposed by France, the United Kingdom and Germany.
In the South Pars oilfields, almost 6,000 contract workers are threatened with job losses, as whole fields are abandoned following news that Total, Repsol and Shell are pulling out.
In Iran, oil workers are concerned about taking industrial action, because it might coincide with the imposition of new US sanctions, which will cause further hardship for ordinary Iranians during the winter.
Conference believes that:
1. Sanctions hurt ordinary people, not the rich and powerful.
2. They increase the power of the reactionary regime. The sanctions – and the ongoing threat of a military attack – have actually helped the theocratic regime whip the people into line.
3. Sanctions are often used in conjunction with a campaign for 'regime change from above' against the interests of the majority of the population. They are a disaster for the cause of democracy. Sanctions disorganise the working class as people squander their fighting energies on day-to-day struggles to simply survive. Sanctions dramatically degrade the ability of the working people to struggle collectively on their own account, to radically refashion society in their own image, to organise and fight.
4. The case of Iraq shows that democracy cannot be delivered from above. The horror in Iraq is not just a result of the 2003 invasion and the attempts to deliver US-style democracy with bombs. Prior to it, the 1990 UN-imposed sanctions on the Saddam regime caused the death of up to a million Iraqis. The once strong democratic movements in Iraq were crippled by two enemies: the dictator Saddam and the sanctions imposed on their country.
Conference instructs the next steering committee to:
oppose existing and new sanctions against Iran and to continue direct international working class solidarity with the aim of building the fighting capacity of the movement in Iran.
campaign against those in the movement who do view sanctions as a 'peaceful' method to deal with the clerical regime. In truth, sanctions are an integral part of a covert war on Iran being pursued particularly by Israel and the US.
Day of solidarity with Iranian workers
Ben Lewis, London
Conference notes:
1. The sanctions programme on Iran that continues to hit the Iranian working class materially, reduces their fighting energies and hinders their struggles to become the hegemonic force for genuine change in Iran.
2. The militancy of Iranian workers that has been at the core of the protests against the Iranian regime following the election crisis. The actions of Pars Wagon hunger strikers, Vahed bus workers and oil workers who have taken political strike action.
3. The billions of dollars spent by US 'regime change from above' plans – including cynical attempts to win over the workers' movement, making the need for a proletarian internationalist solidarity even more urgent.
4. That protest actions against the Iranian regime organised by bodies like the International Transport Federation and the International Trade Union Confederation fail to mention imperialism, sanctions and the threat of war. This is no accident. In reality, these organisations consciously dovetail the US's plans for 'regime change from above'. But real change can only come from below – in Iran as well as the imperialist countries.
Conference further notes that:
1. A necessary aspect of campaigning against sanctions is to provide positive material and ideological solidarity for our brothers and sisters in Iran – solidarity that is implacably opposed to any imperialist intervention and that sows no illusions in this or that faction of the ruling theocracy
To this end, conference resolves to:
1. Organise a 'Day of Action for Iranian Workers' in February 2010, following on from the success of the solidarity day jointly organised by Hopi and the Labour Representation Committee on August 1, which raised over £1000
2. Draft an appeal to all our supporters nationally and internationally to be drawn into organising this event, raising the banner of principled international solidarity and aiming to raise at least £2000 for strike funds, organising materials and other necessities for workers taking brave action in extremely precarious circumstances
No to state murder and repression
Charlie Pottins, London
HOPI notes reports that since Iran's post-election crisis the regime has cracked down with particular harshness on national minorities, as instanced by the use of the death penalty against Kurdish militants.
We demand an end to this state murder and repression, which is the rulers' way of holding power by force. We affirm that the best way to counter foreign exploitation of conflicts, win the confidence of minorities, and unite the working people, and unite the working people, is to support the principles of equality and self-determination for all.
HOPI rejects the absurd attempt by Zionists and Western propagandists to compare the Islamicist regime with Hitler fascism. In rejecting offers of "rescue" by Israel, Iran's Jewish community, the biggest in the Middle East outside the Zionist State, has undermined the propaganda and to some extent obstructed the drive to all-out war.
At the same time, we condemn the regime's hosting of a Holocaust revisionist conference, by which Ahmadinejad has given succour to antisemites and neo-Nazis who aim to attack Jews and, incidentally, Muslims, in many lands. In this and other ways the Islamicist regime has discredited itself and any claims it had to be progressive in its international alignments and policies, including its use of Lebanese and Palestinian groups, and its intervention in Iraq. While not condemning those who, in desperate need, have accepted Iranian help and solidarity to which they are entitled, we will scrutinise the Islamicist regime's international operations, and warn against those here who, whether from misguided idealism or material motives, seek to prettify the regime and uncritically endorse its "anti-imperialist" credentials.

Q: How use Leaflet.awesome-markers in a VUE SPA using vue2-leaflet I would like to insert "custom" markers into a vue2-leaflet component and I found a very interesting library leaflet.awesome.marker that is fitted for the scope but I don't know how to import an external library such as this into VUE and how/if it can be integrated into vue2-leaflet.
Any suggestion (better an example code)?
Thanks.
