Ron Paul See other Ron Paul Articles Title: Trump the Great Liberals, progressives, and the left-wing (to the extent that one still exists) are aligning with the corrupt oligarchy against president-elect Trump and the American people. They are busy at work trying to generate hysteria over Trump’s “authoritarian personality and followers.” In other words, the message is: here come the fascists. Liberals and progressives wailed and whined about “an all white male cabinet,” only to be made fools by Trump’s appointment of a black male and two women, one a minority and one a Trump critic. The oligarchs are organizing their liberal progressive front groups to disrupt Trump’s inauguration in an effort to continue the attempt to delegitimize Trump the way the paid Maidan protesters were used in Kiev to delegitimize the elected Ukrainian government. To the extent any of the Trump protesters are sincere and not merely paid tools of oligarchs, such as George Soros, military and financial interests, and global capitalists, they should consider that false claims and unjustified criticism can cause Trump and his supporters to close their ears to all criticism and make it easier for neoconservatives to influence Trump by offering support. The Neoconservative Th... Dr. Paul Craig Roberts Best Price: $20.89 Buy New $17.45 At this point, we don’t know what a Trump government is going to do. If he sells out the people, he won’t be reelected. If he is defeated by the oligarchy, the people will become more radical. We do not know how Washington insiders appointed to the government will behave inside a Trump presidency. Unless they are ideologues like the neoconservatives or agents of powerful interests, insiders survive by going along with the current. If the current changes under Trump, so will the insiders. Trump got elected because flyover America has had all it can take from the self-dealing oligarchy. The vast bulk of America has seen its economic prospects and that of children and grandchildren decline for a quarter century. The states Hillary carried are limited to the liberal enclaves and oligarchy’s stomping grounds on the NE and West coasts and in Colorado and New Mexico, where effete wealthy liberals have located because of the scenery. If you look at the red/blue electoral map, geographically speaking Hillary’s support is very limited. We know that Hillary is an agent for the One Percent. The Clintons $120 million personal wealth and $1.6 billion personal foundation are proof that the Clintons are bought-and-paid-for. We know that Hillary is responsible for the destruction of Libya and of much of Syria and for the overthrow of the democratically elected government in Ukraine. We know that the Clinton regime’s sanctions on Iraq resulted in the deaths of 500,000 children. These are war crimes and crimes against humanity. We know Hillary used government office for private gain. We know she violated national security laws without being held accountable. What we don’t know is why groups that allegedly are liberal-progressive-leftwing are such fervent supporters of Hillary. One possible answer is that these groups are mere fronts for vested interests and are devoid of any sincere motives. Another possible answer is that these groups believe that the important issues are not jobs for Americans and avoiding war with nuclear powers, but transgender, homosexual, and illegal alien rights. Another possible answer is that these groups are uninformed and stupid. How America Was Lost: ... Paul Craig Roberts Best Price: $17.70 Buy New $20.36 What these protesters see as a threat in Trump’s strong and willful personality is actually a virtue. A cipher like Obama has no more ability to stand up to the oligarchy than a disengaged George W. Bush so easily stage-managed by Dick Cheney. Nothing less than an authoritarian style and personality is a match for the well-entrenched ruling oligarchy and willful neoconservatives. If Trump were a shrinking violet, the electorate would have ignored him. Trump did not purchase his presidency with the offer of handouts to blacks, the poor generally, teachers unions, farmers, abortion rights for women, etc. Trump was elected because he said: “Those who control the levers of power in Washington and the global special interests they partner with, don’t have your good in mind. It’s a global power structure that is responsible for the economic decisions that have robbed our working class, stripped our country of its wealth and put that money into the pockets of a handful of large corporations and political entities. The only thing that can stop this corrupt machine is you.” It has been a long time since the electorate heard this kind of talk from someone seeking public office. Trump’s words are what Americans were waiting to hear. As willful as Trump is, he is only one person. The oligarchy are many. As impressive as Trump’s billion dollars is, the oligarchs have trillions. Congress being in Republican hands will spare Trump partisan obstruction, but Congress remains in the hands of interest groups. As powerful as the office of the president can be, without unity in government changes from the top don’t occur, especially if the president is at odds with the military with regard to the alleged threat posed by Russia and China. Trump says he wants peace with the nuclear powers. The military/security complex needs an enemy for its budget. It is absolutely necessary that a lid be put on tensions between nuclear powers and that economic opportunity reappears for the American people. Trump is not positioned to benefit from war and jobs offshoring. The only sensible strategy is to support him on these issues and to hold his feet to the fire. As for the immigration issue, the Obama Justice (sic) Department has just worsened the picture with its ruling that American police departments cannot discriminate against non-citizens by only hiring citizens as officers. Now that US citizens face arrest in their own country by non-citizens, the resentment of immigrants will increase. Clearly, it is nonsensical to devalue American citizenship in this way. Clearly, it is sensible to put a lid on immigration until the US economy is again able to create jobs capable of sustaining an independent existence. If Trump can defeat the oligarchy and save America, he can go down in history as Trump the Great. I think that this prospect appeals to Trump more than more wealth. Instead of trying to tear him down in advance, he should be supported. With Trump’s determination and the people’s support, change from the top down is possible. Otherwise, change has to come from the bottom up, and that means an awful lot of blood on the streets. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest

Just like the great, wonderful, we bow in reference Reagan, that bastard. Tramp, sorry Trump, is and will be worshiped just like Reagan but like Reagan "We the People" will be frelled
Rural, white, working Americans, spoke.
I'd compare the current worship of "Saint Donald" to the sheep-like behavior of Republicans after GW Bush was elected. Trump's followers are exactly the same as the Bush-Bots in 2000. The beginning of the current police/surveillance state can be blamed on Bush and was ramped up during Obama's reign - I expect that Trump will continue it. He picked Pompeo, a supporter of stronger domestic surveillance, to lead the Central Intelligence Agency. Pompeo wants to see a "fundamental upgrade" to America’s surveillance capabilities” and wants to repeal the reforms to government surveillance that have been implemented. During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
Worship??? One has a choice, go down with the Titanic, or take a chance with Trump and his leaky lifeboat. Rural, white, working Americans voted for Trump and his lifeboat. Non worshipers are free to stay aboard. Americans have had enough.
Some do. One has a choice, go down with the Titanic, or take a chance with Trump and his leaky lifeboat. I hope the best for Trump, I really do. But so far his appointments have been pretty much a disappointment to say the least. During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
Recall 1960, JFK appointed his brother to be Attorney General??? MSM, pundits, voters, thot that was wonderful, to have such a brilliant person to oversee the DOJ and FBI. How times have changed.
