Chances are that by the time you get to the end of this article, there will be news of another information operation targeting Donald Trump. There’s one a day now—each trumpeting a new mortal threat to the republic or some dastardly revelation based on sources that are usually anonymous. Whatever it is, it will serve the same purpose as the hundreds of similar sallies launched over the last four years—namely, to preserve and protect the position and privileges of America’s ruling elite. ... What matters now are platforms. And for the purposes of information warfare, what’s important is not the content but rather the availability and reach of the platforms, whose job is to protect the American ruling elite’s wealth and preferences by spreading whatever propaganda the elite sees as beneficial.

I'm Voting TRUMP
Lee Smith is one of my favorite journalists.
You and me both amigo. And I get the reference. LOL.

By shipping America’s manufacturing base off to China, they seized a business opportunity the likes of which had never been seen before—an enormous captive labor force controlled by an authoritarian regime that guaranteed the steady production of goods at a fraction of what it would cost at home.

Communists always said that the Capitalists would sell them the rope they would hang them with.
I would consider a lot of Freepers in the China Class of globalists.
All those nice people, with no mattress left to hide their monies, do not have the interest of those of us without one mattress, and are their fellow citizens, (whether they consider us as such or not), at heart!
Same here.
Washington 'elites' have been played for fools.
You got anything to back that up, or just trolling this morning?
You sound like a Democrat on a distraction campaign here.
...if they have a picture of Trump and Putin on the Grassy Knoll both holding smoking 6.5×52mm Carcano Model 91/38 infantry rifles...

Cute.
They won’t dare go _there_, though.
We have a very clear idea of who loaded those rifles.
I’m voting Trump because America Matters and I want it back, again.
I’m still working through the “Trump Punched A Baby” story
by “a lot” I mean 20-30% of active Freepers are globalists and not nationalists.
LOL.
