Any presidential candidate who isn’t actively seeking to purge ‘the system’ is either a part of it or stupid and not worth the effort. It’s not a matter of appointed this or that cabinet member. It’s going to take forcibly removing the technocrats, oligarchs, and so-forth. If one were to evaluate where we are, making all the connections, one would come to the conclusion that we’re destined for either a miracle, violent revolution (it won’t be a civil war), or slavery.
We have too many entrenched interests, too many sucking off the government teat, too much owed, and too much division to think this will all sort itself out nicely. Buy ammo and look up.
The American public is:
1. Too passive/complacent
2. Too divided
3. Too dumbed down
that it will not demand a fundamental change in “the system.” There is no political will to make the hard decisions and demand the short-term sacrifices necessary for a change. Instead the American public has defaulted its political, and ultimately financial destiny to a group of international power brokers. I once saw a comment that the people who run our country from the top levels of Wall Street or K Street are much more comfortable mingling with their counterparts from Riyadh, London, Shanghai and Moscow than they are in dealing with us. And the children of all of them will grow up together in their private schools, swapped out among different countries.
Assuming that status quo does not change, then we continue on course. What would make the status quo change would be war; a big, cataclysmic one.
And if it’s change you want, then it would have to be a war we not only didn’t win, but got our asses kicked like the French in 1940. That would bring about a desire for change. Hardship builds character and weeds out the stupid. Character is in very short supply in our country. Stupid we have in abundance.
It's why it's come to Trump vs the Politicians.
They have no desire to change anything. They prove it year in year out. If politicians words don't add up it's usually because the truth wasn't included in the equation.
