By Charles.S.Perera<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

In the past the USA Presidential elections,\u00a0 to \u00a0elect 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 \u00a0protectionist safe guarding America\u2019s own interest. It made no\u00a0 difference towards developing countries.<\/p>\n

The developing countries were considered a security threat to America, if they were to adopt a socialist program of development\u00a0 supported by China and Russia. Hence the American State Department \u00a0interfered into \u00a0the internal affaires of developing countries to\u00a0 dictate how they should run their countries and what type of governments\u00a0 they should have, threatening them with\u00a0 conditions they would impose if they were to\u00a0 qualify for World Bank or IMF loans<\/p>\n

Those developing countries that dare challenge the dictates of USA, would be victims of USA State Department\u2019s 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\u201d of Dollars. It is \u00a0worst than the NATO\u00a0 bombardments \u00a0which turned countries to rubble, because regime change put the people in complete confusion and disarray.<\/p>\n

USA cannot propose to developing countries, \u00a0any 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. \u00a0An extension of the Monroe Doctrine\u2026..<\/p>\n

The word socialism which is anathema to American politics, was not pronounced during\u00a0 any of their Presidential elections. The Americans \u00a0know 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\u00a0 of their motherland-Russia.<\/p>\n

But today USA has a new President elect Donald Trump. He was painted an immoral demon going against all accepted American Norms and\u00a0 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\u00a0 his willingness to work with Vladimir Putin the President of Russia, I think I\u2019d be able to work with him\u201dsaid Donald Trump. \u00a0He \u00a0was elected with a large \u00a0majority of votes according to the American electoral system.<\/p>\n

A certain number of\u00a0 American people\u00a0 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\u00a0 and one type of administration, there is the fear of what would the change \u00a0mean 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.<\/p>\n

Strangely though these \u00a0demonstrators against the 45th<\/sup> USA President Donald Trump did not manifest against atrocities committed by USA armed forces \u00a0against Iraq of Sadam Hussain , Libya of Colonel Gaddafi , bombardment of\u00a0 border villages in Pakistan killing innumerable numbers of civilians in search of Al Qaeda terrorists, and \u00a0arming anti government forces, in Syria\u00a0 to\u00a0 murder or chase away Bachar el Assad from Syria.<\/p>\n

USA built its leadership , becoming a Policeman of the world\u201d by indiscriminate use of \u00a0its Armed Forces against other countries with political leaders who do not blindly\u00a0 follow American dictates.\u00a0\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

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,\u00a0 and refused to by fish from Sri Lanka imposing conditions\u00a0 before the sanctions are removed. This is how even the EU following US State Department acted against developing countries<\/p>\n

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,\u00a0 and to stop any progressive development programmes undertaken by those countries, \u00a0by proposing \u00a0their own solutions without any financial or technical support to carry out the solution they propose.<\/p>\n

The USA State Department\u00a0 under John Kerry\u00a0 had spent 585 Million Dollars to change \u00a0regimes in developing countries and to promote US State Departments version of\u00a0 democracy. An example is Sri Lanka after\u00a0 January,2015.<\/strong><\/p>\n

John Kerry says \u00a0that the US State Department\u00a0 promotes democratic values\u00a0 because stable democracies are less likely to pose a threat to their neighbours or to the US.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

But all these seems likely to change under the 45th<\/sup> President Donald Trump \u00a0of USA.\u00a0 He seems agreeable to end the cold war \u00a0that continues to exist with Russia and even China.<\/p>\n

President elect Donald Trump has to\u00a0 reconsider \u00a0the American Foreign Policy, which \u00a0\u00a0had 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\u2019ad 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\u00a0 a group of young men from the minority Tamil Community<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

IMF and the World Bank were controlled by the USA\u00a0 to assure its\u00a0 political control over developing nations. Hillary Clinton as the State Secretary is known to have\u00a0 asked the IMF to suspend\u00a0 loans to Sri Lanka, as Sri Lanka governments did not given into Hillary Clinton\u2019s State Department,\u00a0 and the UK and French Foreign Ministers\u00a0 demand\u00a0 for a suspension of military operations against terrorism.<\/p>\n

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\u00a0 be a global bully \u201d controlling \u00a0developing countries by intimidating ,\u00a0 threatening them with sanctions, and \u00a0raising false accusations of violation of human rights.<\/p>\n

President elect \u00a0Donald 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.<\/p>\n

With the election of Donald Trump as the 45th<\/sup> US President The European leaders\u00a0 those in France, Spain, Portugal \u00a0and Germany act as they have been orphaned, left on their own to settle terrorist problems affecting them.<\/p>\n

These political tactics may have to be changed now, if the US Presdent elect decides once sworn in as thethe US President \u00a0to settle differences in dialogue and discussion like civilised human beings.\u00a0 One cannot go by Donald Trump\u2019s election campaign rhetoric, which will surely change approaching the problems as the President\u00a0 of America.\u00a0 He is not disposed towards war but for enemies of America he will take strong action. He had said that war in Syria needs\u00a0 to be seen differently and he said\u00a0\u00a0 If Russia and the United States got along well\u00a0 and went after ISIS, that would be good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Donald Trump\u2019s 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\u2019s \u00a0President Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n

US State Department under Hillary Clinton and John Kerry listened to the \u00a0demands of the Tamil Diaspora to form its policy towards Sri Lanka. The Tamil Diaspora which financed and encouraged\u00a0 and militarised\u00a0 the LTTE terrorists wanted a separate Tamil State in Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n

The \u00a0US State Department in the\u00a0 demand made by the Tamil Diaspora saw the benefit that\u00a0 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 \u00a0the means to\u00a0 develop as a separate entity and divide Sri Lanka to enable USA to set up an American Navel Force in the North.<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0 After Sri Lanka Armed Forces \u00a0eliminated terrorism, \u00a0USA State Department accused\u00a0 Sri Lanka Armed Forces for war crimes.<\/p>\n

After that the US State Department along with the UN and the UN High Commissioner for Human rights continued its attack the \u00a0Armed Forces of Sri Lanka accusing it for\u00a0 violation of human rights \u00a0and war crimes. Thereafter it set about a regime change to remove\u00a0 Sri Lanka\u2019s most popular President Mahinda Rajapakse.<\/p>\n

In\u00a0 this move to change regime, there are reasons to believe that the US State Department used its Ambassador in Sri Lanka \u00a0Atul Keshup, and its Assistant Secretary of State \u00a0Nisha Biswal , and the US Ambassador to UN Samantha Powers to encourage and strengthen the Tamil minority to stand against the Government and\u00a0 vote for the Presidential Candidate contesting against the sitting\u00a0 popular President Mahinda Rajapakse, \u00a0promising the aid of USA and its allies for them to win their rights to set up a separate Province exclusively for Tamils.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

It is now up to the US President elect Donald Trump as the 45th<\/sup> President of USA to stop the US State Department\u00a0 from interfering into internal affaires of Developing countries<\/strong>, and allow developing countries find their own way of development.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The world is exasperated\u00a0 by the hitherto followed US foreign policy. It is right that it follows\u00a0 protective\u00a0 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\u00a0 programmes on countries burdening people with taxes, provide conditional \u00a0aid for development, help and arm rebels in developing countries to fight against elected governments.<\/p>\n

While congratulating the President elect Donald Trump on his election as the 45th<\/sup> President of USA, we urge him to in the first instance demand the \u00a0US State Department\u00a0 to accept all terrorists whether they\u00a0 carry out terrorism\u00a0 in USA, any country of the West, or \u00a0terrorists in \u00a0\u00a0developing countries, as terrorists, and not take side with terrorists in developing countries \u00a0calling them rebels, and \u00a0arm and encourage them to fight\u00a0 against elected governments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
