After his brief trip to the UK, NATO, and a summit with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, President Trump has once again left the politicians and political activists aghast at his words and actions. In fact, if you listen to news accounts you might think he just started Armageddon, the final battle before the Apocalypse and the End Times. Amazing to what lengths the media is prepared to go to destroy Trump.
As for the professional political crybabies on television, they are screaming demons and one should take the time to ask why. What is it about our corrupt, archaic, political system and institutions that is so precious to the radical left and radical right they will do anything to stop Trump?
Melchizedek says we are entering a three-year period of “colossal
changes coming to political systems.” I
say it is about time. The radical liberals
and conservatives, the Democrat and Republican parties, the hysterical Trump
haters and the so-called news media are the puppets and pawns of a much darker
force than Donald Trump.
Have we forgotten that America is the boldest and grandest experiment
in the history of mankind? We are the
only major nation on earth in which 95% of our population are immigrants or
descendants of immigrants.
Truly we are the only true melting pot in the world where
people of any race, religion, ethnic background, political persuasion or
culture are all guaranteed the same rights, protection, and equal opportunity.
By our very nature, promise and Constitution we are protected
from dominance by any one philosophy, culture or movement because individual
freedom and equal opportunity are the bedrock of our existence.
Since we are the only true melting pot our Republic is built
on a foundation of respect for differences and compromise for accommodation for
all. The people reaffirm this right in
elections every two and four years.
When special interests demand one ideology be dominant in
our land, whether it be liberal or conservative, Democrat inspired or
Republican, and when people attempt to usurp the power of the people by
imposing a single philosophy on others it is doomed and results in polarization
and eventually fails.
Today we have lost the ability to communicate. Hatred and fear have overridden all
possibility for compromise and progress.
Without compromise there can be no progress. When that happens, and it has happened many
times in our short history, the Constitution provides a mechanism for the people
to save our government from special interests and unfair laws.
Once again, we face the same dilemma. People are concerned with control and dominance,
not fairness and justice. Those advocates
of control and their supporters have no place in a house built on compromise,
individual rights, and guaranteed equality for all.
When our Fourth Estate, the news media, lose their sense of objectivity
as it has and starts trying to promote one side of a policy over another the
media no longer functions as a watchdog for the people, all the people, but as
an advocate for special interests. One
wonders if maybe biased media should be required to register as a special
interest lobbyist to show their true colors.
In the past presidents have always worked with Congress,
majority and minority parties, toward compromise in order to solve
problems. That ended in the Obama
years. Unfortunately, he had neither the
foresight nor experience to forge political alliances and preserve this presidential
function.
When leaders want to impose their agenda on the people,
rather than carry out the agenda of those who elected them, they are doomed to
failure in a Constitutional Republic designed to prevent dominance by any one
person, group or party.
Any crisis America faces will be solved when the people
decide what is needed and they use the ballot to force change on the system. Once again, we have reached the crisis stage,
and once again only the people can say what America must do.
The shocking victory of Trump in the GOP primary, the only
non-politician among political giants, was the first sign of a major political
overhaul of our system. His subsequence
election victory over the overwhelming favorite Hillary Clinton was the people’s
stunning reaffirmation that enough was enough, our political house must be
disassembled and rebuilt in order to return to a Constitutional Republic as
envisioned by our Founding Fathers.
Unfortunately, it seems memories are short in our nation’s
capital. Both the news people and
politicians seem to be suffering from hysterical amnesia. They are no longer twisting the media spin to
their benefit but are living the lies they manufacture to justify their
hate-filled rants.
As the news media paraded an endless stream of intelligence
officials and national security “experts” to trash Trump before the cameras
yesterday, I noted the incredible hypocrisy of the anti-Trump legions. Just a decade ago the same people were trashing
Presidents Bush and Obama because of the massive and illegal actions by the
very same intelligence agencies, including many of the current TV stars being
interviewed from those agencies, for the greatest invasion of privacy in
history and trampling over of our individual rights.
Not only was every American citizen a victim of the
insidious “Big Brother” action, so were the heads of state of every major
nation in the world including our closest allies. Their private phone lines were illegally taped
and monitored by US intelligence agencies.
How quickly we forget the truth.
Yesterday’s villains are today's heroes, at least in the
minds of the news media and misguided followers who actually believe their brand
of nonsense. Never have I seen so many
people so hysterically embrace hatred, bias, distortion and misdirection with
such passion, possibly since the time of the persecution and murder of Jesus of
Nazareth, and that job was botched up as well.
By now, after almost eighteen months of the Trump presidency
and with all the power and resources of the intelligence agencies, the Justice
Department, the news media, the Democratic and Republican parties, and their
friends and benefactors who control much of our wealth, their relentless effort
to throw out Trump has failed miserably.
No politician in our history has been under a more massive
and coordinated attack for such a sustained period of time yet Trump continues
his own relentless campaign to clean up the mess we call government.
Why, because he is not a politician. He is an outsider who happened to succeed
without the help of big bankers, big corporations, political parties and Wall
Street. Trump was not bought and paid
for like Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama or Bill Clinton.
Funny, all three became multi-millionaires because they were
president or nominated to be president.
Trump did not need a government job and power to make millions, he
earned it before he ever ran for public office.
Make no mistake, Trump is far from an endearing president
but perhaps he is just what was needed to reign in the power of government,
stop the corruption at all levels of government, reform laws and regulations
not in the public interest, and to realign our position in the world.
No professional politician stood a chance of bringing about
such badly needed reform. There was no
accountability in government nor responsibility for the actions of the government. The financial predators and sharks controlled
the money for campaigns and leveraged it to buy off enough elected officials to
maintain a system that was rotten to the core, not just in America, but around
the world.
Yet people, the voters, understood, at least the vast majority
of people who were not part of the partisan political cesspool. This did not happen overnight. Way back in 1972 Ross Perot, a businessman
and Independent, got 20% of the presidential vote costing George Bush his
re-election and thrusting Bill Clinton to the presidency with barely 41% of the
registered vote.
By the time Barack Obama was first elected in 2008 nearly
50% of all eligible voters refused to even register to vote, such was their disgust
with politicians. When Obama was
re-elected in 2012 it was the first time less than 50% of eligible voters participated
in an election. In truth, only about 25%
of eligible voters voted Obama president.
Still it got worse. By the end of
Obama’s presidency in 2016 for the first time in our history there were more
registered Independents than either Democrats or Republicans.
One need only ask Bernie Sanders how honest the political
system was when he faced Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary campaign. Secret deals between Obama and Clinton were
made to bankrupt the Democratic National Committee (DNC), then allow the
Clinton campaign to secretly bail out the DNC while giving Hillary control of
the actions and resources of the DNC. She
was in a tightly contested primary battle with Sanders when this took place. Bernie never had a chance to win the primary
because the DNC Super Delegates were already secretly pledged to Hillary.
By the way, in light of the current media hype about how
Putin said he wanted Trump to win against Hillary, you might have noticed what
the media forgot to ask. Why did the
media not ask if he wanted Hillary to win?
Putin and Hillary were mortal enemies ever since she was Obama’s
Secretary of State and used her office to condemn him and place sanctions on
Russia. Trump was not even a viable candidate
at the time Hillary was hacked and Trump was given no chance to win anything.
When Trump stunned the world and won the primary there was
no other choice for Putin but to hope Trump won, against all odds. Make no mistake, no one’s hands were clean
during this election campaign. Trump
knew nothing of the political process and showed it. Still, he was the last one standing and the
only non-political outsider available to the people.
No one gave him a chance to win right up to election day when
all the media predicted a solid Hillary victory. No one, that is, except me when I predicted a
Trump victory several weeks before the election and posted it in the Huffington
Post as a Huffington Post Contributor.
My conclusion was based on a multi-decade trend of
increasing distrust of all politicians from both parties born out by the
polls. In addition, I watched the
increasing flight of Democrats and Republican voters switch to the Independent
registration.
Trump’s victory had nothing to do with Russia or Russian
collusion. It had everything to do with
voter frustration over partisan politics in Washington, D.C., the cozy
relationship between professional politicians and financiers, and institutional
corruption.
Today, the losers from both ends of the political spectrum,
Democrats hating Trump and Republicans afraid of Trump, sense the death knell
of their quest to deny Trump his presidency.
As do the losers in the media who are in danger of losing all their anonymous
sources of classified government information.
Trump is no saint, but he certainly is an agent of change
who was given a chance to fix what the politicians could not fix. He was also given a chance by the American
voters to show us what he can do to clean up the mess. His opponents are fueled by blind hatred of
the outsider. They ignore the
Constitution and will of the people. In truth
they are the protectors of the status quo.
To succeed they ignore their own religious beliefs and the
teachings of Jesus and embrace a very dark and toxic attitude. They will fail. Trump will easily win re-election in 2020 and
may finally get the chance to show us what he can do.
At that point we can give a great big sign of relief in
knowing our Constitution is intact, it worked as expected, and once again the People
have spoken.
