On this one Special Occasion, I have decided to break from my self-imposed self-ban to make a couple of comments.
In this thread, I'll just send you over to Cryptogon to get the perspective over there:
http://www.cryptogon.com/?p=49892#commentsSome compelling remarks:
I know this will upset or irritate those who are delighted that Trump won, but I stand by the premise that voting is merely the proles being allowed to rattle their chains while the Deep State tyrannically decrees who its figurehead will be. Or more plainly, Trump won because the Deep State chose him over Hillary.
Having said that, the period between now and the inauguration should be considered strategically sensitive and may, through its stability or otherwise, reveal more of the Deep State’s actual intentions.
I’m certainly pleased that Hillary and her politically correct cabal and all those music industry sluts have been slapped in the face; I have no doubt, progressive liberalism is the number one visible national security threat to every western nation and its leading exponents have to be curtailed (with the hope that the twitbook go-along-to-get-along virtue-signalling self-censoring snowflakes will sanitise their verbiage accordingly).
However, like you Kevin, I am not sold on Trump. For one, he is plainly not and never has been, a true conservative. His hostility to whistleblowers, his support for the gay agenda and other matters prove him to be lacking in that regard. But the thing about Trump is that, by being far less ostentatiously liberal than Hillary, he assumes the appearance of being far to her right and thus holds populist appeal. He may not be a true conservative, but compared to her… you get the idea. So yes, he would be an ideal war president, perceived by the patriots as somewhat Churchillian one suspects.
If things remain calm to the inauguration, the next big milestone for me will be how he actually deals with Russia and the general geopolitical situation around the globe. I note that Putin today, in his congratulations message, reminded him of his statement on improving US-Russian relations. Putin’s motives are not as plain, I would venture, as they appear, but that’s another matter.
In sum then, while I hope it portends peace in our time, there are things about it all that whisper psyop to my paranoid mind. As you say, the round-ups thing… Steve Pieczenik… I think we’re being played.
If it’s as legit as it looks, it reinforces my Trump theory, viz, that maybe the Deep State has chosen him to be the WW3 president.
The alt-right media is obsessed with Hillary as warmonger (which she is), but I suspect the Deep State’s model for WW3 is to play the outraged victim card after pushing Russia into a position in which they have no choice but to try to take down the Anglo West with a first strike. Trump, as populist, would have much greater appeal to the rednecks they need to carry the ensuing conventional war to Russia with than Hillary ever could.
(As an aside, I take the view that nuclear war today would begin with all-out nuclear strikes and then go conventional, which is the reverse of the Cold War model).
Just wanted to put forward two possibilities:
1) Elites no longer need cheap Mexican labor because automation and perma-recession is coming. Instead of just prosecuting businesses that violate employment law, they can now use these obsolete people as an excuse to build security infrastructure (wall, etc.) and expand DHS.
Trump is also very pro-Israel and anti-Iran. Obama was actually disliked by the Israelis. Trump corrects this and galvanizes Americans for even more Middle East involvement. He can also break down the leftist (Occupy Wall St type) sentiment of the Obama era that was becoming a liability.
2) Other possibility is: system sure is rigged, but not nearly as strictly controlled as some think. Elites are fallible, corrupt, defective psychos just like the Clintons, and the Clintons went so far that not even their network could cover it up anymore.
The neocons had played out their hand in the Republican Party and they’re all old and delusional. Trump was well known in elite circles, allied with some of them (like Adelson) and played to win.
If Trump doesn’t prosecute them (and Obama) it isn’t necessarily evidence he’s in on it. He has an interest in coopting people and keeping the government stable. If he just started rounding people up and running high treason trials, chaos may ensue. Many people still admire these corrupt psychos. They wouldn’t be able to wrap their heads around it.
That said, I actually find it ridiculous people would claim Trump is “easy” to defeat or that his votes are fake. He is a charismatic billionaire, a household name, a guy who knows exactly what people want to hear. White middle America is getting fucked over and millions of illegals are everywhere. Over the last decade the left in the USA has become an anti-white anti-male lynch mob. They don’t even give a shit about labor or the environment anymore. It was a matter of time till someone like Trump started realtalking and filling stadiums. The votes are real. He won. And the media and the major parties spent hundreds of millions (billions?) trying to stop him.
