Election 2016 is rapidly gaining momentum in the run-up to the Iowa Caucus on
February 1st and the New Hampshire Primary eight days later on February 9th.
Sarah Palin has entered the picture by endorsing Donald Trump while the big-wigs
in Davos are reportedly plotting to find a way to sabotage his candidacy.
“Unnatural” born citizen Ted Cruz is hanging on as are a few others but Trump
remains very strong for the Republicans.
Meanwhile Bernie Sanders is doing well in the polls and is benefiting enormously
from the latest wave of Clinton scandals that never seem to end.
For those disgusted by the whole process and who would gladly opt for none-of-the-above, a few alternatives have emerged on the periphery of this election madness.
Here is my brief summary of the current options:
1. Third party/indepenedent: Jim Webb, Michael Bloomberg, Jesse Ventura etc.

2. Write-in: Andrew Basiago, Robert Steele, etc.

3. Boycott: last resort before chaos.

Much can be written about all aspects of this short outline of what is unfolding.
With so much subject to speculation and confusion, I will forego that process
and wait for further developments after some votes have been cast.
What can be stated with certainty is that we are facing a perfect storm of multiple
crises—financial, political, cultural and spiritual—constituting a dramatic challenge
to the very soul of the American Republic and for which no quick remedy is available.
