Hillary Is Down, But Not The Oligarchs (Yet)
ZeroHedge.com ^ | November 11, 2016 | Paul Craig Roberts

The US presidential election is historic, because the American people were able to defeat the oligarchs. Hillary Clinton, an agent for the Oligarchy, was defeated despite the vicious media campaign against Donald Trump. This shows that the media and the political establishments of the political parties no longer have credibility with the American people.

It remains to be seen whether Trump can select and appoint a government that will serve him and his goals to restore American jobs and to establish friendly and respectful relations with Russia, China, Syria, and Iran.

It also remains to be seen how the Oligarchy will respond to Trump’s victory. Wall Street and the Federal Reserve can cause an economic crisis in order to put Trump on the defensive, and they can use the crisis to force Trump to appoint one of their own as Secretary of the Treasury. Rogue agents in the CIA and Pentagon can cause a false flag attack that would disrupt friendly relations with Russia. Trump could make a mistake and retain neoconservatives in his government.

With Trump there is at least hope. Unless Trump is obstructed by bad judgment in his appointments and by obstacles put in his way, we should expect an end to Washington’s orchestrated conflict with Russia, the removal of the US missiles on Russia’s border with Poland and Romania, the end of the conflict in Ukraine, and the end of Washington’s effort to overthrow the Syrian government. However, achievements such as these imply the defeat of the US Oligarchy. Although Trump defeated Hillary, the Oligarchy still exists and is still powerful.

Trump said that he no longer sees the point of NATO 25 years after the Soviet collapse. If he sticks to his view, it means a big political change in Washington’s EU vassals.

Did I miss when Zero and Hill, whom the press told me were gracious on Wednesday, spoke out to call off the dogs, er, Soros troops who are wreaking havoc in seven US cities?

If Hillary had won, would the Trumpsters have erupted in such violence?

Works for me. I’ve become more and more of an isolationist since we got involved in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Middle East has been a shit hole for a thousand years and Europe is following suit.

I agree, and a few years back I probably would not have. There will always be the next European “civil war”, and it’s closer than ever.

The media will not shut up about hillary.

Reminds me of the time Muhammad Ali lost the World Heavyweight Champion bout against Leon Spinks, and the press crowded in to talk to Ali and ignored the new world champion.

No just so you know, the libtards here are saying,

*See, its Trump. We had no riots when Obama was elected!*

That is why they call Liberalism a MENTAL DISORDER>

Same thing happened to the Republicans during the primary - nobody tried to take him out because they figured he’d blow himself up and was a media hog “clown”. By the time they figured out the sails on the Trump boat were starting to fill with the winds of “revolution” by ‘We the People’, he was already pulling ahead and beat the whole lot of them.
