It’s Time for the Elites to Rise Up Against the Ignorant Masses
Foreign Policy ^ | James Traub

Posted on 06/29/2016 3:20:27 AM PDT by AC Beach Patrol

The Brexit has laid bare the political schism of our time. It’s not about the left vs. the right; it’s about the sane vs. the mindlessly angry.

-- Simply start another war and let us thin our own numbers. --

That does seem to be the typical tool. Oh well, someday the Muslims will take over, and the elites will wish they hadn't attritted their own hoard.

I was once a fan of Sowell (and some other #NeverTrumpers), but his vitriol against a Trump and the movement has made Sowell, et al., dead to me. I (and I would argue my country and Western civilization) no longer have the luxury of being ideological. I am guided by my fundamental beliefs and principles and battle assessment. Trump, this brazen and brash billionaire who’s not afraid of anyone, has been like the sunglasses in John Carpenter’s movie, “They Live”. People I once thought were my allies I’ve come to realize are every bit my enemy.

Note to Elites: There are a lot of pissed-off people comprising the “ignorant masses.” There are also a lot of trees in the US, courtesy of the environmental movement, and miles of rope. Proceed at your own risk.

Why do Globalist like James Traub always lie about their positions and then misrepresent what the opposition believes? This is because they lose on facts and logic every time.

The Globalist are a bunch of tax exempt, diplomatic immunity, free from civil and criminal lawsuits, lying thieves, pseudo intellectuals, con artist and control freaks.

These Parasites hate freedom and the individual Birth Right by our Creator to pursue happiness. Like Cult leaders they want a dumb down population of slaves they can feed off of like it was during the dark ages under a monarchy . They are traitors to the Republic, the Renaissance, Humanity and ultimately God.

Please don’t misunderstand.

I have great confidence and respect for Mr. Trump. His accomplishments and business acumen are impressive, to say the least.

But it is the way his children have turned out that really speaks to DJT’s character.

It’s the psychopaths, fraudsters, and brainwashed masses I don’t trust.

To be clear, these parasite elites do not hate freedom. They love freedom, for themselves. For you, not so much. Remember, it was these same elites who formerly supported eugenics publicly. They still do, of course, but they are more quiet about it now.

If you look at “Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed” by Jared Diamond, and then you look at “The Vision of the Anointed” and realize that things aren’t likely to get better with regards to what Sowell brings up, then you can see that the West has chosen to fail.

The West will fail. The only question is when. I’m making sure me & my own are self-sufficient when everything goes wooly.

Ironically, the so called elites HAVE to hire us ‘ignorant masses’ to protect them from the ‘ignorant masses’.

WE HAVE MET THE ENEMY AND IT IS US... Pogo

I look ahead to future events based on present and past events.

CW2 is coming. It cannot be stopped, nor do we want to stop it, as it is our last opportunity for freedom.

But where will these elite people go? Quietly into that career good night? Or will they keep up with their treasonous, anti-American bilge?

I predict they will not have the sense to shut their yaps and the “masses” will sooner or later kill them, which would be a good thing. They can’t stay in their compounds forever.

And that day isn’t far off , My FRiend. The muslim horde is here in the United States of america at this moment, and many more are added each day. Waiting to be unleashed upon the masses. All that is stopping their being unleashed at this time is that the Democrat Party and its ally, the Elite Republican Party are, some time soon, going to make one serious concentrated effort to take the guns from law abiding Citizens, leaving them helpless to resist the muslim hordes once they are released. Prior to them being released to kill, rape, rob, and murder to their heart’s content, each muslim will be armed with the firearm, unlimited ammunition and other weapons of their choice by the Federal Government. While all this may, at first glance seem bad, never forget it was the choice a majority of voters said, no demanded, via their votes. In 2008 the voters had a choice: muslim or non muslim. A majority demanded a muslim to rule them. In 2012 the voters had the same options. A majority of voters made the same choice. They again demanded that a muslim have the rule over them. This is how muslims rule. Don’t believe it? look at any Nation in the world where muslims rule. Better yet, look at any area in the World that has a significant amount of muslims in its population.

As long as they are breathing, they will continue with their Anti-American bile.

It will be the duty of the Patriots fighting them to put a permanent stop to them spouting that bile. It will our duty if we are still alive or it will be the duty of those who follow us.

Both the Conservative and the Labour parties in Britain are now in crisis. The British have had their day of reckoning; the American one looms. If Donald Trump loses, and loses badly (forgive me my reckless optimism, but I believe he will) the Republican Party may endure a historic split between its know-nothing base and its K Street/Chamber of Commerce leadership class

As far as I got. Mr. Traub can kiss my know-nothing arse.

Ask Louis XVI or Tsar Nicholas II how well that worked out for them.

"Trump...has been...the sunglasses in...“They Live”.

This is a great metaphor!

Actually, it is time to string a significant portion of the ‘elites’ up on the nearest lamp posts.
