I refer to a sort of rift or schism that is developing between the governors and the governed. As for the first-named, I mean the Establishment. There is nothing fictional about the Establishment. Every society across the time zones and the ages has had one. It is not a body with a head office or a president but that does not mean it does not exist.

It is in fact a loose amalgam of institutions and common interest groups whose upper echelons effectively govern and run the country, regardless of which group of politicians believe they are in power. Of all these groups about 80 per cent are in the public sector, meaning they are on the public payroll, wholly subsidised in their high places by the taxpayer without whom they would be nothing.

Sounds like what is going on here in the Republican Party. Conservatives against the establishment.

The vast majority of the people and ex-soldiers from field marshals to squaddies know that a fighting sergeant who made a five-second mistake has been crucified and hung out to dry on the basis of political correctness - the creed of the coward and the bully.

You're right - there's overlap.

There as been “a sort of rift or schism that is developing between the governors and the governed” here in the U.S. for several decades now.

Poll: 81% of Muslims surveyed support Islamic State slaughters – Al Jazeera Arabic Poll

by Jordan Schachtel, Breitbart
25 May 2015, Washington, D.C.

In a recent survey conducted by AlJazeera.net, the website for the Al Jazeera Arabic television channel, respondents overwhelmingly support the Islamic State terrorist group, with 81% voting “YES” on whether they approved of ISIS’s conquests in the region.

The poll, which asked in Arabic, “Do you support the organizing victories of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS)?” has generated over 38,000 responses thus far, with only 19% of respondents voting “NO” to supporting ISIS.

Then dammit, shut down those phony religious relocation centers and don't let them in! Has our national leadership gone wholly psychotic? If they can't turn this around then We the People need to do something. .

The rift is between a globalist establishment and the people of a Nation they wish to denounce and abuse with foreign interests.

That would also be true of Germany and Merkle’s asinine Muslim invader policy — and certainly also The United States of America, and every damn policy of the lying, treasonous Obama administration, yes?
