Like him or not, Trump was elected President of the United
States of America and he deserves a fair chance to fulfill his destiny as all
presidents have been given.
America is a beacon of light to the world because it has never
wavered from the underlying principles upon which it was founded, freedom,
equal opportunity, individual liberty and justice for all.
It is a nation of diversity in religion, culture, race and
opportunity whose strength is found in a divinely inspired ability to
demonstrate to the world that our Republic transcends special interests and
seeks out fair compromise.
We are competitive, yet will always accept the will of the
people in the end, because standing as one is always stronger and serves the
greatest good for all.
Throughout our history there have been many hard fought and derisive
presidential elections, but in the end the people of America come together and
support the winner in order to honor the will of the people.
Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt are a
sampling of those presidents who overcame tremendous opposition, division and
disruption in order to help heal our nation and keep it on track during dangerous
times in our history.
Divine destiny guides this nation, thrusting the most unlikely
of people into roles they never expected to play to preserve the Republic and
give hope to the world.
Sadly, our recent presidential election came at a time when
darkness was beginning to shroud our principles and empower those whose own interests
overshadowed the interests of the people.
Hatred and animosity between political parties, philosophies,
the news media and bureaucracy were clouding the actions and judgments of
people and assured there would be no healing after the election.
Twenty days before the presidential election, when Trump
looked like there was no chance to stop the Clinton machine, I posted an
article as a contributor on the most liberal of all media outlets, the
Huffington Post, and it described what would happen election night with Trump
finally winning in the middle of the night to the shock of the media, the candidates,
the political pundits, the nation and the world. On election day it happened almost exactly as
I wrote it would. Ironically, on the
morning of election day the Huffington Post declared to the world Hillary
Clinton would win.
Sometimes there is no explanation for destiny. Sometimes there are divine interventions to
keep the world on track. Sometimes, as
Melchizedek says, we have to look for the good in adversity. President Trump’s election victory may very
well be one of those moments. You do not
always have to be the good guy to get good things done, and there is little doubt
that America faced a dark future if things did not change.
Polarization was becoming a dark, powerful force on the
political horizon before Trump got elected.
The previous Administrations sold out the people to appease special
interests, as in financial, banking, defense, pharmaceutical drugs and health
care interests.
Our Constitutional government was being undermined by a series
of selfish and greedy actions to protect the wealthy at the expense of the people. Things were not improving, they were getting
worse and politicians were in the middle of a firestorm. Campaign finance laws were thrown out, thus
opening the floodgates to unlimited money flowing to the political campaign
committees.
As jobs were lost, health care did not improve, but the cost
of health care, and prescription drugs spiraled out of control. Home mortgages were fraudulent, college
tuition costs exploded, jobs were moved out of the country, unnecessary wars
were being fought, draconian government acts hurt the people, and billions upon
billions of dollars flowed into the coffers of a very small group of very wealthy
people.
Corruption came to a head when the Bill Clinton administration
regulatory reforms, on top of the Clinton NAFTA trade agreement, triggered the
ENRON disaster and the subprime mortgage crisis nearly destroying the nation’s
economy in 2008.
The Obama administration recovery program and Obamacare signed
into law March 23, 2010, his only major legislative accomplishment, opened the
door further to protecting financial and auto corporations and the pharmaceutical
industry price increases among other consequences.
Of course, throughout the Bush and Obama administrations, war
after war further fueled the military industrial complex and drained the
economy.
From 1996 (Clinton) to 2008 (Obama) the cost of the
presidential campaigns more than doubled and Obama broke the billion-dollar glass
ceiling on his way to a job that paid $400,000 a year. Money, power and prestige now controlled the
presidency, shielded corruption, protected special interests, made the rich a
lot wealthier, made middle class former presidents multi-millionaires, and
seduced the media because of the billions and billions of dollars pouring into
political campaigns.
That brings us to the 2016 election and Hillary Clinton, the
heir apparent to the political machine built by Bill Clinton and Barack Obama
with access to huge wealth thanks to Goldman Sachs and others deeply imbedded
in the Clinton and Obama organizations, and the ability to implement special
interest regulatory reforms.
All was good for the long-term future of the new political
Establishment and to the media it was just a matter of anointing Hillary Clinton
queen. No one could stand up to the
Clinton – Obama machine. Things looked
quite rosy for the liberals, progressives, the new Establishment, the media
parasites, financial manipulators, endless special interest groups throwing
money at the politicians, and the bureaucratic structure responsible for
maintaining the cozy relationship and keeping their jobs.
After the Bush years followed by the Obama Hollywood presidency
a Clinton ordination was imminent. Who was
left to defend the people and oversee the new Establishment when that
Establishment included all the former watchdogs and protectors of the public
interest?
To anyone with a clear head it was blatantly obvious the media,
once protector of the people, changed sides and was now engaged in destroying anyone
who might threaten the Hillary dream machine.
Ask Bernie Sanders if the deck was stacked against him and what
it was like to be a threat. He had no
chance of a fair primary against Hillary thanks to the Obama super delegates secretly pledged to Clinton, the fundraising monopoly of the Obama/Clinton
Establishment, and the secret buyout of the supposedly independent DNC by the
Clinton campaign.
All the special interests were involved and protected and even
the bureaucracy was on board since the Obama appointees effectively controlled the
wheels of justice and would remain in control under the Clinton succession. Self-preservation of jobs for thousands of
high-paid government appointees was a strong incentive to bend over backwards
to protect your patron.
Perhaps there is no greater threat to the American democracy than
when the Fourth Estate, the Constitutionally protected defenders of freedom of
speech, give up their objectivity and take sides in an election. The Bill Clinton and Obama years proved too
strong a seduction for the free press to remain free.
There was a strange conglomeration of events coming together
which forever changed the face and action of the media. Huge corporations began buying up the 25,000
media outlets in America and applying profit demands on the news groups. The news reporters, long free of the pressure
to make money for their organizations, suddenly became the avenue for survival
with their access to the politicians who were fast becoming the biggest
spenders in media.
With the broadcast and cable news consolidations there was no
way to go back. When the Internet
suddenly exploded beginning during the Clinton years but rapidly overtaking all
traditional media in the Obama years, the same special interests that
controlled the politicians could compromise the independence of the media.
Former media measures of integrity like objectivity,
independence, and investigative reporting became tools to protect the establishment
by using them as opposition weapons for the political campaigns. It was now possible for the news media to
become the makers of news rather than reporters, and for the reporters to become
celebrities and news makers.
With the Internet news dominating the minds of the public twenty-four
hours a day, they were free to inject bias, unregulated, unethical and immoral
news content to a mesmerized public.
Preservation of the Clinton/Obama Establishment was the core of the
hypnotic messaging coordinated throughout the broadcast, cable and Internet
news services.
For the first time in our
history most of the independent media took sides, with a constant and coordinated
campaign to preserve the Establishment fueled by the never-ending billions of special
interest dollars.
Such mass messaging with the hypnotic consistency of constant
repetition while no effort is being made to validate facts, and autonomous
sources now dominate the news, is a recipe for disaster. Of course, anyone against that Establishment
whether moderate or conservative is the enemy.
No professional politician could challenge the control of the money
brokers, special interests and media because they were products of the same Establishment. If America was ever to get back to the
political center where it was most comfortable, it would take a total outsider
to make the challenge.
Such an outsider would have to be meaner, tougher, stronger, more
independent and non-political while being far removed from the political and financial
establishment controlling our nation. At
the same time, they would have to be indifferent and unafraid of the news media
sworn to protect the status quo and destroy opposition.
Finding a disrupter of that magnitude seemed impossible. Then along came Trump swaggering down the
sweeping escalator of the swank and mysterious Trump Tower, cocky, a true
non-politician, yet an ivy leaguer and quite rich. Not a politician but well experienced in the
entertainment media he had no fear of the power of the press. In fact, Trump used the Internet for his own
direct media connection to the people through the use of Tweets.
Wealthy enough to not need to make money if he was elected, he
did not trust the stock markets so he was not beholden to most of the financial
sector. Choosing to largely ignore the
media and political parties, he was confident he could improve the lives of
others because he knew, as a businessman, how the game was played.
As a result of these things he was free to do or say whatever
he wanted and there were no strings attached.
Most likely to his surprise, and certainly to the shock of Obama,
Clinton, the news media, the wealthy, the Establishment, the nation and rest of
the world, he beat all the odds and the morning after the election, November 9,
the world awoke to the astonishing news that Donald Trump would be the forty-fifth president of the United States.
Nothing like the forty-four presidents who preceded him. Cocky but not particularly polished. No
politician, Loyal to neither political party.
Suspicious of the news media.
Could care less what the media or professional politicians thought of
him.
Oh, he has his faults but somehow, he connects to people,
never talking over their head. He speaks
a truth they understand, says what is on his mind that others would never dare
say. Sometimes he is loose with the
facts, but most politicians are that way.
Upsetting – yes. Lacks
diplomacy – sometimes. Demonstrates
anger – sure when warranted. Not a
polished statesman – never said he was one.
Has regrets – hardly. Fears
failure – has no idea what that means.
Trump is Trump. What
you see and hear is what you get. A rock-solid
patriot. A protector of all people. A defender of American values. Champion of American greatness.
My next article will address what is being done to lift the shadow
of darkness enveloping America through Trump, in spite of the refusal by much of
the media and establishment to accept him as president. What is the role of divine intervention and
destiny in the reign of President Trump?
Finally, what are the consequences for those dedicated to denying him
his rightful destiny.
