In the past
the USA
Presidential elections, to elect either a Republican or a Democratic
President did not make a great difference . The State Department rolled out its
self same foreign policy which was primarily protectionist safe guarding America’s own interest. It made
no difference towards developing
countries.
The
developing countries were considered a security threat to America, if they were to adopt a socialist
program of development supported by China and Russia. Hence the American State
Department interfered into the internal affaires of developing countries to dictate how they should run their countries
and what type of governments they should
have, threatening them with conditions
they would impose if they were to
qualify for World Bank or IMF loans
Those developing
countries that dare challenge the dictates of USA, would be victims of USA State
Department’s foreign policy of regime change. This was done either by using CIA
Agents or more slyly winning over local politicians willing to sell their
country for a “fistful” of Dollars. It is worst than the NATO bombardments which turned countries to rubble, because
regime change put the people in complete confusion and disarray.
USA cannot propose to developing
countries, any other system of
government other than their own. USA
took over the great land mass of America from its indigenous people
decimating, disabling or driving them away from fertile land to infertile
distant borderlands, and built their American homeland asserting their white
American rule over the land they occupied. They also saw to it that no
neighbouring country could have a system of government different from theirs. An extension of the Monroe Doctrine…..
The word
socialism which is anathema to American politics, was not pronounced
during any of their Presidential
elections. The Americans know of no
other political system of government other than their own American Capitalist
system. And USA imposes it on all developing countries (after a US sponsored
regime change) without allowing them to follow any other system under threat of
trade embargoes, as they did to Cuba, Iran and Russia for allowing the Russian
people of Crimea to be a part of their
motherland-Russia.
But today USA has a new
President elect Donald Trump. He was painted an immoral demon going against all
accepted American Norms and its decadent
political System. Donald Trump went on his election campaign openly stating
what he stands for and not hiding any thing to steal votes. He even stated his willingness to work with Vladimir Putin
the President of Russia, “I think I’d be able to work with him”said Donald
Trump. He was elected with a large majority of votes according to the American electoral
system.
A certain
number of American people appears to be up in arms against him, because
he is an unknown entity, quite different from what they had been used to
before. But to a country and a people that had known only one system of
government and one type of
administration, there is the fear of what would the change mean to their proud place as citizens of a
great country that gives leadership to the world. Hence some of them have gone
out manifesting against President elect Donald Trump.
Strangely
though these demonstrators against the
45th USA President Donald Trump did not manifest against atrocities
committed by USA armed forces against
Iraq of Sadam Hussain , Libya of Colonel Gaddafi , bombardment of border villages in Pakistan killing
innumerable numbers of civilians in search of Al Qaeda terrorists, and arming anti government forces, in Syria to
murder or chase away Bachar el Assad from Syria.
USA built its leadership , becoming a
“Policeman of the world” by indiscriminate use of its Armed Forces against other countries with
political leaders who do not blindly
follow American dictates. USA
asserted its world leadership, through its aggressive foreign policy planned
and executed by its State Department, and its determination to make the world
pliable to its command through fear of its known sinister murders of
progressive world leaders by the agents of its CIA, its mighty military power
complemented with the NATO forces of its Allies, and imposing sanctions.
The
European Governments supported the aggressive policies of USA. We know EU
stopped GSP plus to Sri Lanka
following USA Resolutions against Sri Lanka
for violation of human rights in the course of elimination of terrorism, and refused to by fish from Sri Lanka imposing conditions before the sanctions are removed. This is how
even the EU following US State Department acted against developing countries
There is no
country in the World that has abused Human rights as USA. USA not only violates human rights
in the world but uses human rights as a tool to change governments in
developing countries, divide countries and communities, and to stop any progressive development
programmes undertaken by those countries, by proposing their own solutions without any financial or
technical support to carry out the solution they propose.
The USA
State Department under John Kerry had spent 585 Million Dollars to change regimes in developing countries and to promote
US
State Departments version of democracy.
An example is Sri Lanka
after January,2015.
John
Kerry says that the US State Department promotes democratic values because “ stable democracies are less likely
to pose a threat to their neighbours or to the US.”
But all
these seems likely to change under the 45th President Donald Trump of USA. He seems agreeable to end the cold war that continues to exist with Russia and even China.
President
elect Donald Trump has to reconsider the American Foreign Policy, which had
never been one of generosity, transparency, and country friendly. Even the UNO
which was expected to be an independent International Organisation under its
Secretary General Ban Ki Moon and its Human Rights Commissioner Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein
became an extension of the US State Department. They punish Sri Lanka for the simple reason
that its Armed Forces eliminated the most ruthless terrorism, begun by a group of young men from the minority Tamil
Community.
IMF and the
World Bank were controlled by the USA
to assure its political control
over developing nations. Hillary Clinton as the State Secretary is known to
have asked the IMF to suspend loans to Sri Lanka, as Sri Lanka governments did
not given into Hillary Clinton’s State Department, and the UK and French Foreign Ministers demand
for a suspension of military operations against terrorism.
The US President
elect Donald Trump appears to be a practical man, not bound by old American political
traditions and usage to maintain the leadership of America by trying to be a “global bully ” controlling developing countries by intimidating , threatening them with sanctions, and raising false accusations of violation of
human rights.
President
elect Donald Trump has already contacted
President Vladimir Putin of Russia,
and the Chinese President Xi Jinping. That it self is a first step in bringing
nations together without treating each other as competitors for world
leadership. The European leaders who were aligned with the American Presidents
of the past were all war mongers . They were trying to settle political
problems using force, NATO bombardments, threat and imposing sanctions.
With the
election of Donald Trump as the 45th US President The European
leaders those in France, Spain, Portugal
and Germany act as they have been
orphaned, left on their own to settle terrorist problems affecting them.
These
political tactics may have to be changed now, if the US Presdent elect decides
once sworn in as thethe US
President to settle differences in
dialogue and discussion like civilised human beings. One cannot go by Donald Trump’s election
campaign rhetoric, which will surely change approaching the problems as the
President of America. He is not disposed towards war but for enemies
of America
he will take strong action. He had said that war in Syria
needs to be seen differently and he said “If Russia and the United States got along well and went after ISIS,
that would be good.”
Donald Trump’s alignment with Russia may expand the trend to
European Countries. Mr. Francois Fillion the likely right wing Presidential
candidate at the 2017 French Presidential elections says that he may agree to
work with the Russia’s
President Vladimir Putin.
US State
Department under Hillary Clinton and John Kerry listened to the demands of the Tamil Diaspora to form its
policy towards Sri Lanka.
The Tamil Diaspora which financed and encouraged and militarised the LTTE terrorists wanted a separate Tamil State
in Sri Lanka.
The US State Department in the demand made by the Tamil Diaspora saw the
benefit that the USA could derive from
helping the division of Sri Lanka, to check the advance of China and Russia to
control the southern sea route. Therefore both Hillary Clinton and John Kerry
as US Secretaries of State went all out to pacify the Tamils in Sri Lanka and create for them the means to
develop as a separate entity and divide Sri
Lanka to enable USA to set up an American Navel
Force in the North.
When the
terrorists in Sri Lanka were
relentlessly taking toll of innocent lives and government of Sri Lanka decided to find a military solution to
end the raging terrorism the US
Ambassador to Sri Lanka Robert O Blake opposed the military solution. Hillary
Clinton as the Secretary of the US State Department refused to accept the
existence of terrorism in Sri
Lanka, calling LTTE terrorists a liberating
force. She accused Sri Lanka
armed forces using rape as an arm against terrorism. After Sri Lanka Armed Forces eliminated terrorism, USA State Department accused Sri Lanka Armed Forces for war crimes.
After that
the US State Department along with the UN and the UN High Commissioner for
Human rights continued its attack the Armed Forces of Sri Lanka accusing it for violation of human rights and war crimes. Thereafter it set about a
regime change to remove Sri Lanka’s
most popular President Mahinda Rajapakse.
In this move to change regime, there are reasons
to believe that the US State Department used its Ambassador in Sri Lanka Atul Keshup, and its Assistant Secretary of
State Nisha Biswal , and the US
Ambassador to UN Samantha Powers to encourage and strengthen the Tamil minority
to stand against the Government and vote
for the Presidential Candidate contesting against the sitting popular President Mahinda Rajapakse, promising the aid of USA and its allies for
them to win their rights to set up a separate Province exclusively for Tamils.
This is to
say that the US State Department had hitherto been carrying out action against developing
nations to change popular governments to set up US friendly governments and
divide the people.
It is
now up to the US President
elect Donald Trump as the 45th President of USA to stop the US State Department from interfering into internal affaires of
Developing countries,
and allow developing countries find their own way of development.
The world
is exasperated by the hitherto followed US
foreign policy. It is right that it follows
protective policies for the
development of USA, but its foreign policy should not be to harass the
developing nations, change elected governments, interfere into internal
affaires, divide communities, and impose development programmes on countries burdening people with
taxes, provide conditional aid for
development, help and arm rebels in developing countries to fight against
elected governments.
While
congratulating the President elect Donald Trump on his election as the 45th
President of USA, we urge him to in the first instance demand the US State Department to accept all terrorists whether they carry out terrorism in USA, any country of the West, or terrorists in developing countries, as terrorists, and not
take side with terrorists in developing countries calling them rebels, and arm and encourage them to fight against elected governments.
