Look at the election in the US. On the one hand we have a former TV personality (amongst other professions) from a German background who is currently the president and who is without a doubt the most pro-Israel and Jew-friendly president in the history of the United States. On the other we have the leading Democratic nominee who is a senator and Jewish, who comes from a Polish/Jewish background and who lost many relatives in the Holocaust. He is without a doubt the most anti-Israel (read antisemitic) candidate in US history. I'm talking about Bernie Sanders of course.
This is the stuff one might read in a fiction novel. In fact one would have to have quite an imagination to even come up with this. I could see writing a novel with this theme and getting it rejected by publishers because it was too off the top.
I, like most people, (even including Democrats) don't believe Bernie Sanders has a hope in hell of being the next president. Based on their performance to date, none of the Democratic candidates have that chance. Based on President Trump's performance he not only looks unbeatable, he deserves to win and G-d help us if he doesn't.
Bernie is not only a self hating Jew, but he is also a Communist (yes Trump said it correctly) and is quite willing to destroy America, a country that he despises. Whereas President Trump considers America to be the greatest country the world has ever seen and wants to make it even better, Bernie thinks that America is rotten to the core and needs to be reinvented as yet one more failed, communist state. He wants to bankrupt America with his multi-trillion dollar policies including but not limited to: free healthcare for all (which includes illegal aliens who have committed crimes), free college tuition for all (which includes illegal aliens who have committed crimes), higher taxes for all, open borders (anyone in the world including criminals can come to the US), income limits (ie. if you work your ass off and make try to get ahead, your income will be capped), more government, more spending (higher debt), cut off aid to Israel, more aid to the murderous Palestinians, etc, etc.
Again, anyone running for the leader of the US with these horrific policies, one might think can only be the fantasy of a creative, fictional writer. But this is real. Unlike some of his competitors on the Democratic stage, he sincerely believes them and if given the chance, he will make them happen. He could easily be running for the president of communist, dictatorships or Islamic theocracies like Russia, Cuba, China or Iran. His policies mostly match theirs and he would fit right in. The notable exception is his open border policy. This btw, is one he's flip flopped on. For thirty years he was all about jobs (a laudable objective no doubt). Back then he was against open borders because he rightly claimed that the more illegal immigrants came in, the fewer jobs would be left for Americans. But now he has conceded this policy to follow the current Leftist agenda. It makes sense for them because after all, the more illegals you let in, the more votes you'll get.
He is constantly decrying the many great things these and other countries have accomplished. At least he's not as two faced as his predecessor Obama. Obama held similar beliefs but realized that he couldn't come totally out of the closet at the time. Bernie is different. He's held those beliefs his entire life and now he sees that the time is right to not only not hide them, but shout them out at rallies and on TV to millions of viewers. His honeymoon in the Soviet Union years ago, speaks volumes. I mean, who does that?
You can see him drunk and almost naked in the USSR in this video here.
On every debate he consistently mentions how the dictator Fidel Castro helped get Cubans to be literate. That's like me saying I love dogs (which I absolutely do) and then saying how Adolf Hitler liked dogs too so he wasn't all bad. Hitler and Castro had many things in common. They were both brutal dictators who killed many innocent people. The fact that Castro helped teach his people to write is so irrelevant it hurts my ears to hear it. Tens of thousands of Cubans risked their lives to escape Cuba to come to the States on flimsy rafts, many not making it. That's how great the communist state of Cuba was and still is. My wife's cousin died in Cuba in some backwater 'hospital' because they wouldn't even examine his chest pains because he left his passport at his hotel. That's how great their medical system is. But don't tell that to Bernie.
It should be no surprise that most young Americans love him. After all, they have been indoctrinated by Leftist educators at colleges all over the country for years. And we let them get away with it. Free stuff has an appeal to all of us. For most people, when we hear the word 'free' our ears perk up. I run the other way. For other, older Americans who love Bernie, they are simply ignorant. They have no idea what communism is or what it represents. They are sick of the wealthy getting away without paying their fair share of taxes while there is still so much poverty all around them. I am too. But I'm not nearly that naive to think that Socialism/Communism (whatever you wish to call it) is the answer. Capitalism isn't perfect. Neither is Trump. But any objective person or anyone who's studied history can't ignore the benefits of both. I'm sure I've said this before but I'll say it again. My dear mother who survived the Holocaust in a gulag in Siberia explained communism to me when I was just a child with this short story:
"Leon, there is nothing more humiliating than being slowly starved to death in the stark cold, waiting for hours every day in long lines to get a piece of bread while listening to speakers telling us how great the Soviet Union was."
If anyone of the Democrats became president, the US and the world would suffer irreparable damage. But if Bernie won, the economy of the States would plummet before he would even begin his acceptance speech.
The problem is, thanks to Bernie and his quartet (AOC, Omar, et all) they have legitimized a far Left paradigm that promotes communism, antisemitism, anti-Americanism and polices that would absolutely cripple Americans. The only people that would benefit would be illegal alien criminals. I doubt the he wins and hopefully he won't but his agenda is so powerful that he's got ALL of the other Democratic candidates crawling over each other to sign on to most of his insane, far left policies. Even the so called 'moderates' have crossed the line to Bernie's party.
Trump won't be president forever. One day a Democrat will be voted back in and the millions of Americans who voted for Bernie will have their chance to rule the world again and to put it mildly, it won't be good.

Fabulous article Mr. Kushner. Very much on point with the realities around us. It is my opinion, from reading - literally - hundreds of books on this subject, that the Liberal is the most dangerous individual within all nations. In most regards it is not the individual per-se that is dangerous but the ideology of modern "Liberalism" itself.
Modern Liberalism encourages ignorance, naivety, amoralness and closed minded gullibility. Everything within your article, at base, indicates the truth of the aforementioned. Why, or how, did this occur?
Liberalism - in a historical context - meant the desire for maximum freedom of, and for, the individual. That would equate what is modern-day "Libertarianism" or as the oft-misguided Alan Dershowitz's self proclaimed and self identified "Liberal Democrat" or "Civil Libertarian" as he displayed through decades of Democrat Party advocacy while supporting and voting for Clinton.
The problem with this is the fact that Libertarianism is a far Right Wing socio-political belief construct while modern Liberalism and the Democrat Party are clearly Leftist and moving further toward the totalitarian anti-Freedom, anti-American, anti-Constitutional Republic Left each day. One is left asking why and how this could happen?
The answer comes, if any care to research for themselves, from the mouths of every Communist/Socialist leader and theologian over the past 100 years. Marx wrote about it, Lenin wrote lectured about it, Trotsky and Mao as well. In fact, people like McCarthy,Freidman,Buckley Jr., Chambers and many others did too only in a pro-America, pro-Freedom and entirely anti-Socialist manner.
The sad reality, as per Lenin's agenda, Socialism has been allowed to enter, infect and metastasize throughout every societal/civilizational edifice the Western World had created, was based upon and held dear: Educational, Legal, Economic/Finance/Business, Media, Faith/Religion, Cultural etc. All uncontested and all with the working relationship and goals of 'Ends justifies the means', 'divide and conquer' etc.
Marx and his League opened the birth canal for modern Socialism/Communism while Lenin expanded upon the aforementioned by putting them into a militarized political action status whereby various like minded academics, economists, media etc. individuals would be unleashed onto the World - namely the Western "Judeo-Christian" world with common goals of subversion, division and re-invention. Like cancer cells these individuals formed groups - as outlined by Whittaker Chambers in his book "Witness" - within various countries. Inserted themselves into their nation's educational systems, media, political, legal etc.institutions. Once the crack was open, 'progressively' over the decades, one lead to 10 then to 100 of like minded goal driven tumorous comrades grew to the point of taking over the various aforementioned institutions. Once in control they then dictated narratives, invented narratives, create conflict ("Rules for Radicals") where lies are told often enough to be taken as institutionalized 'truth' to/for the masses....within all of the aforementioned areas.
This is how and why the vast majority of social, cultural, political, legal and economic institutions became totalitarian leftist. The majority of them are now controlled by Socialists/Communists or Globalists.
Globalism is the second form of cancer that has infected and raped the West. Mega 'elite' also seek power and they will use anyone or anything to obtain it.
The League of Nations, for example, was founded by Communists. A Communist wrote their Charter. The UN was a continuation of the League so can anyone expect anything different?
There's a reason why they don't teach base Civics classes anymore because they- those that control Western Education - don't want our kids - the voters - to be informed. This is why Donald Trump has become so dangerous...
Keep up the good work Leon...
Great history lesson Dr. Avrington! Thanks to people like you who actually read real history books, there is still hope!
