PANAMA taking it’s pointers from the rest of the world. People want Personality and NOT Politics

OP ED: “JB”- 

In my lifetime to date, I have seen many strange things happen in politics. And now in the twilight of my last 1/4, nothing surprises me anymore. Growing up, there was a “FORMULA” to follow back in the States. Ivy League or Military Academy for College. Preferrably Military Service for the Nation (During Combat grants extra points). Then enter the Political arena. First small, maybe Mayor or Representative. Then aim higher, to Governor or Senator. Simply follow the road map and check all the boxes.

Then in my early 20’s, the world took a SHIT when “B” Movie actor RONALD REAGAN, (yes, “Bedtime for Bonzo” with a fuckin chimpanzee) made it all the way to PRESIDENT   …….and not by a nose hair, but by a true LANDSLIDE. Here we are 40 years later, and it seems like that is the most meager of examples. In the years that have followed, these eyes have seen;

SONNY from “Sonny and Cher”       

 

“GOPHER” from “The Love Boat”   

 

 

STUART SMALLEY from “SNL”

 

JESSE “The Body” VENTURA from WWE 

 

Then when we thought we saw it all, when he said “I’ll be back“,,,NOBODY thought it would be as GOVERNOR of the most economically important state in America.            .

Well, and THEN…..  So I say, F – – K   ALL!!!!  The tide has turned and this is mine, yours, and everyone else’s REALITY.

Just a late night ramble here, but the point is that we are all living in the same CIRCUS. Where “clicks” and “likes” are the new currency. More powerful anf influential than anything I have seen in the past. And I’m not sure that is a BAD THING.  I mean if history has proven anything, it’s that even if people DID follow that OLD path to the PRESIDENCY, that doesnt make them GOOD PEOPLE.

I’ve had (4) Administrations in my adopted home of PANAMA, so I have earned at the very least an OPINION.  MULINO is the very first in my time that has not come from an Elite Aristocracy. A Skull and Bones. A Masons, A Illuminati. or whatever the hell you wanna claim it to be. I say it the easy way……..OLD, INHERITED, WEALTH.  They were all extremely wealthy PRIOR to being elected President of the WORLD’s LARGEST ATM MACHINE i/e The CANAL ZONE. And ALL are even MORE WEALTHY when their term ends. Legally or Illegally, your choice. Those are the facts.

I see many “grassroots” efforts building within PANAMA that are looking to upset and change the narrative.  Martinelli proved what the “cult of Personality” can accomplish. But then he got lost in a fog of GREED, PARTYING, and WOMEN. Shit, they all do. Even MR.OPUS DEI himself…….

So PNO and “JB” is rooting for the underdogs and the people that are indeed saying “F–K IT” I’m gonna try to make a change for the people. A few are popping up on Social Media.

                 

 

       

 

So yeah, I’m ALL IN.  Why NOT? Look for someone who has a set of NUTS (* not excluding Women ), but someone who is NOT afraid to look corruption in the FACE and call them OUT ON IT!!!!

Just on my mind…..

 

Saludos-
