The United States in 2016 has a myriad of enemies: ISIS, the Taliban, Iran, North Korea, Russia and China.
While these countries, terrorist groups and paramilitary forces pose varied threats to the nation, there is an enemy which is much more insidious and which is destroying America every day.
It is an enemy within, supported by foreign entities that benefit from our demise.
It is the Establishment. It is the single greatest threat to the life, liberty and happiness of the American people since the British Empire in 1776.
The Establishment in 2016 has many of the vile traits of its British ancestor 240 years ago. It is arrogant, ruthless and greedy. It will stop at nothing to protect its modus operandi, which has been at full force for the last 53 years.
America is under siege. The wages and jobs of Americans are under siege. Our freedom and prosperity are under siege.
The United States hasn’t been conquered by foreign powers, but by a criminal cabal of its citizens who are hell bent on keeping their power, the people be damned.
What is this so-called Establishment and what do they want?
The Establishment includes: the military-industrial complex, the pharmaceutical companies, the bankers, the K Street lobbyists, the politicians, the mainstream media, the Federal Reserve and the corporations that benefit from illegal immigration and low wages.
The Establishment wishes to keep the US/Mexican Border wide open, in order to continue a steady flow of Mexicans and Latin-Americans who migrate north, take American Blue Collar jobs and in doing so, drag down American Blue Collar wages to a Third World status.
The Establishment wishes to keep outsourcing American jobs and American companies, in order to boost profits, while destroying American White Collar jobs in the process. The Establishment knows that this can only continue by maintaining NAFTA and implementing TPP.
The Establishment wishes to keep the endless, unwinnable wars going at full speed. Endless, unwinnable wars destroy the soul of the US military and the soldiers and Marines who must endure the horrors of war. The Establishment could care less about the average American soldier or Marine. War is good business. Keep it going and convince the American people that endless war is somehow making us all safe.
The Establishment wishes to keep the American people dumbed down by common core education and liberal mainstream media lies.
It’s all about control, over the American people, every day and for the life of every American citizen.
It’s all about the gravy train continuing for corrupt traitors who are not only destroying the US economy, the US status in the world, the US national defense, but the lives of American citizens.
The Establishment doesn’t care if a Republican or a Democrat is in office, as long as Mr. Sanders or Mr. Trump is not residing in the White House. While Sanders and Trump have nothing in common politically, they are the two outsiders who are a threat to the Establishment’s way of life, a way of life that is criminal and traitorous.
The Establishment is the enemy of everyone who believes in freedom, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Like the British Empire of 1776, they will stop at nothing to maintain their power.
They are the modern day Redcoats. They are the enemy of the American people. They wish to keep power in Washington and to break the will of the average American, who they are fleecing.
The Establishment is now at the point where they will do anything to stop Trump or Sanders. They will cancel elections, rig ballots, pressure, strong-arm and bribe delegates, change the rule books, while keeping Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney powdered with makeup in the green room, ready to burst out on the world stage as the new GOP candidates for President and Vice President, in whatever order they decide.
The Establishment knows that Hillary must be the Democrat nominee. Hillary is literally the poster child for the Establishment and every evil tenet it represents. Whether Hillary or a Ryan or Romney wins the election is of no concern to the Establishment. As long as it’s someone on the payroll, that’s all that counts.
The Establishment could care less about Ted Cruz. He is a useful, dutiful and ambitious dupe who they will use to destroy Trump then discard like dryer lint.
This weekend a frustrated Colorado voter who had just had his voting rights usurped like millions of other Colorado citizens wrote the head of the Colorado GOP and told him that the American people were on the verge of burning the whole Republican Party down.
The Colorado GOP responded, “Go ahead, burn it down. We don’t care.”
The arrogance of the Establishment is off the charts.
The Establishment, like the British Empire so many years before is blind. Like the British and King George, they believe the people will never rise up, and if they do, they will be easily brow-beaten into submission.
Even at the end, the British couldn’t believe they were defeated by the so-called “rabble in arms.”
The American people are awakening from their slumber. We defeated the Establishment in battle 240 years ago. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that again.
As President Kennedy, a victim of the Establishment once said, “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.”
I suppose the elites are laughing as they read your beautiful rhetoric.
The Uniparty has been intentionally flooding the country with fraudulently documented foreigners and refusing to enforce the laws.
Would it were not true.
ok, while I agree with the premise... let me get this straight: Sanders who has been in Federal office since 1991 is NOT establishment, but Cruz who has been in office for 3 years and routinely fought the establishment on its shenanigans IS establishment? I don’t think so.
Here’s the thing, and the trumpeters heads are going to explode when I say this but, oh well: The establishment is about expanding their own power. Therefore they are for expanding the power and scope of the federal government. (I think we’d all agree up to this point). They don’t care which party, they only pay lip service to that. It’s only about expanding government. Period. Thus Sanders is just as establishment as any other Dem, hes just more honest about it. So that leaves us with Cruz v Trump. To me, Cruz is the only one in the race who has at any point, on any issue, advocated for removing power from DC. Trump certainly has not. He’s run on stopping threats to the country but not on returning power to the people. Thus, for me, the only anti-establishment candidate in this race is Cruz.
However, again, I generally agree with what you’ve written pb (and your namesake’s story is what first lit the spark that grew into a love of aviation and a career). And one more thing...I don’t think we avoid the violence. It’s coming. Unfortunately.
“drag down American Blue Collar wages to a Third World status.”
The end game is, “Globalism”.
Free Traitors™ suck.
NAFTA was the beginning of the end.
Yep, the establishment IS the enemy.
Cruz seemed like he wasn't establishment. Turns out he was. Whatever he has to do to get the nomination, he is willing to do. Bushes don't work for people who are going to end the Bush Crime Syndicate's hold on the GOP. They have dinner with Hinckleys, and seduce Cruz's.
It’s about globalism vs. nationalism. Trump and to a lesser extent Sanders are nationalist. Cruz is a globalist although he pretends not to be. Heidi Cruz is a bigwig at Goldman Sachs and the CFR, and worked on promoting the North American Union. Ted voted to enable TPP to be passed by 50 rather than 60 votes in the Senate, though he now pretends to be against it. He was for a 500% increase in H1Bs before he realized it was poison with voters. If he ever became president he would toe the line of the Bush establishment that are now running and funding his campaign. Though of course the author is right, they will drop him like a hot potato after the first ballot at the convention. Only Trump presents a real nationalist challenge to the establishment, which is why they are hell bent to destroy him, even if in means a Democrat landslide in November.
Folks like Hillary. Hairy Reed. Shummer. And the elitist liberals like Donald the Duck who support them.
Starmann is working with a "the people versus the interests" model that might have been valid a century ago, but that's questionable now. Once upon a time Wall Street and Main Street had very different philosophies and ways of life. That's not so true now. A lot of people on Main Street have Wall Street (or Hollywood, etc.) values.
You aren't going to find a situation where 70 or 80 or 90 percent of the people share any particular belief or set of beliefs. You'd be lucky to get 50 percent and your majority would likely break-up over the details. There may be some bloc out there of never-voting Americans, a silent majority, that would tip the balance heavily in one direction, but they don't vote and wouldn't have the persistence to achieve goals over the long haul.
A 19 minute video with an ALTERNATIVE EXPLANATION OF HOW THE GOP ELITES IN COLORADO SCREWED TRUMP! (It’s all part of the master plan by the DC GOPe crew to screw him out of the nomination)
I don’t agree with Stefan on some of his vids but I believe he’s got this one right:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDiZ5HW2wqU
THE MEN WHO OWN AND RUN AMERICA
I know, I know — many of YOU already know this! Some of you could have MADE this video. But if you are old enough to recall that, for example, that bottle of Coke you could buy for a nickle in 1946 and are a bit unclear why it now costs 10X that or more today, this video will answer that question.
How is it that this LOOTING of America and the rest of the developed world has gone on for over a century?
Well, in addition to wishing to NOT be MURDERED like Rep. Louis McFadden, others and, more recently, JFK (who was making noises about issuing US Notes, bypassing the Fed), the conscious IGNORANCE of or COMPLICITY with the scan by the majority of the current politicians prevents anything from being done to restore an honest monetary system!
Unless he’s lying through his teeth — and I don’t believe he is — when he says “These are BAD PEOPLE”, Donald Trump is not only on to them, but has been declaring that he’ll do something about their crimes! That’s why the oligarchs are scared “obamaless” (I’m sure you will figure out what I meant to write there) that he might actually make it to the White House! If you fully understand sordid history of our “masters”, you KNOW they will do whatever it takes to prevent that!
One final comment before I shut up: What do the now intensifying efforts by Romney, Cruz, Kasich, Preibus and many, many others in the GOPe (not to mention the Dems) tell you about where THEY are with respect to the continuation of this century long economic RAPE of America and her citizens from which THEY undoubtedly benefit?
Just askin’ a question you might wish to put to YOUR representative at the upcoming Town Hall Meetings.

Yup, and guess who supports NAFTA?
I knew I smelled an election coming on. Pheww!
