Editor’s Note: More interesting observations and commentary from my clear thinking friend, Patricia Reed:
All the stuff about Trump being a “racist” and/or a “threat to “democracy” or a “threat to the rule of law” or “Putin's patsy” is garbage. That's obvious to anyone who makes any serious examination of the actual evidence.
What's less obvious is: Why is Donald Trump such a profound threat to someone or someones somewhere? I'm not seeing it. Trump likes to be liked. He's a genuine patriot. He was once a member in good standing of the Establishment. He is quite transactional (too much so). Nevertheless, that transactionality means that, at a minimum, he is someone that you can work with. That was his reputation as an international businessman.
After all, he wrote the best-selling book “The Art of the Deal.” Such a brazenly transactional title does not represent the thinking of a rigid ideologue-- or, for that matter, a power-lusting megalomaniac. We are not saying that Trump is a bashful shrinking violet, lol. Clearly he is not. But neither is he Hitler or Stalin or Mao. Or even (gag) Justin Trudeau.
He actually took Establishment advice too trustingly in the beginning—he trusted “the Experts” to a fault. He was the guy, remember, who gave Pfizer et al, immunity against damages for whatever harm the MRNA vaccines might do. He demanded the vaccines at “warp speed” which surely carried extra risks. Instead of the establishment being grateful, they attacked him viciously... right from the start.
Let's remember that people like Kamala Harris solemnly proclaimed that she would never take a vaccine that had been 'rushed through' by Donald Trump, Yes, that did happen, and she was not alone among prominent Dems. (Then, when that vaccine came out under Biden, suddenly the very same "rushed" vaccine was wonderful-- in fact indispensable!)
Trump early on gave Dems the benefit of every doubt. Their response was to ridicule him for that, and to crow about how easy it was to bamboozle Trump, as Jim Comey famously and despicably did.
The Establishment-- the Firm—the Regime-- cannot abide Trump. They will do absolutely anything to prevent him from getting anywhere near the White House. They went to extreme lengths in 2020; they are going to even more extreme lengths this time around. Surely, it can only mean that they have big plans, and they know that Trump will not sufficiently facilitate those plans—may even prove effective in blocking them. What plan or plans could be of such urgent importance that any serious potential for interference must be destroyed?
Well, the border comes instantly to mind. It is entirely possible that an open border alone, all by itself, is so essential to Democrat hegemony in the US, perhaps even to the “progressive” political Left's hegemony globally....that the border must remain completely open. Until the United States is completely destroyed.
Perhaps the Firm is not dead set on destroying the USA per se. Perhaps that destruction would be just unfortunate but tolerable collateral damage in their greedy eyes. Perhaps the open border is simply a matter of keeping the money flowing to the “right” people... the people who are fine with making tons of money from drug dealing and sex trafficking and sweatshop slavery-- all of which require a more or less open border. So maybe it's just about the endless supply of endless money that accrues from those “business enterprises”.
Let's remember that the open border is so essential to someone's plans that, even though that open border was a glaringly obvious contradiction to the Biden administration's draconian “anti-virus” measures in every other sphere of our national life... the border remained shamelessly open throughout. Wow.
Another other golden goose which Trump threatens to kill is the war machine. The military industrial complex that Eisenhower warned about way back in 1961.... now “enhanced” by the Frankenstein technologies of bioweapons, psychological manipulation and surveillance, “surveillable and programmable” digital currency, and literally heartless AI.
Finally, it's increasingly evident that big chunks of the pharmaceutical lobby, do not seriously want a seriously healthy American population. A population in need of constant pharmaceutical and surgical intervention is more profitable. So the corrupt medical establishment, so well described by RFK Jr in “The Real Anthony Fauci” and by Dr Aaron Kheriarty in “The New Abnormal”, wants to keep the population capable of working-- however feebly and messily-- but incapable of anything approaching successful rebellion.
Those three interests—the drugs-sex-sweatshop Open Borders complex... the military-security-state Forever War complex... and the "keep 'em kinda-healthy-but-not-too-healthy" Medical Profiteering complex... each one represents an enormous center of power and profit.
To make things even worse... these ethics-challenged entities have joyously discovered one another. They have embraced each other. It's True Love. It's “Where have you been all my life?!”
So they are united, now.
Against us. Against our health, our freedom, and our heartfelt desire to live in peace.
But they cannot depend on Trump to help them. In fact, now that their machinations have been so widely exposed, they can depend on Trump to oppose them.
So he's gotta go.
The same is true of RFK Jr. He represents the same unwillingness to go along with their plans that Trump does. But, at the moment, RFK does not appear to have the real chance of winning the Presidency that Trump does. So Trump has a target painted on his back.
May God preserve him.
