Paphits:
US Foreign Policies are inherited. The objectives never change. It's an apparatus and Deep State, and the POTUS is the figure Head .......... a bit like a Monarch.
It's the same thing in Australia. It doesn't matter if there is a Labor or Liberal/Conservative Government. The Department of Foreign Affairs, Defence Department, ASIO and ASIC are the Deep State. And the Deep State will never allow anyone or any Party to upset the apple cart over certain issues.
I don’t think you understand what the implications are of what you are saying, and believe it or not, I agree with you in principal if not in the details and I have held the same view for many years. It is disingenuously referred to as ‘
A conspiracy theory’ !!!
So what ARE you saying?
Very simply ......
THE USA IS NOT A DEMOCRACY !The President, The Congress and The Senate are all voted into power by a democratic vote. But it is not they that run the country; above them is what you call the Deep State ..... or New World Order, Illuminate, The Elite, The 0.01% .... and other titles, but all-in-all we are talking of a very few (Maybe a couple of thousand people) that actually make the big decisions and use their overwhelming power to impose their will upon the The President and elected Government i.e. The People
.
Never in history has there been an organisation this large and powerful that did not have a leadership ......... you could say a ‘Board of Directors’ which in turn would have a CEO. This ‘deep state’ is no different. But the one thing you cannot be sure of is who these people are, you could make a guess but that is all it would be ... a guess.
Throughout the campaign Clinton was obviously being backed by some very big , powerful people and organisations. They put Bernie Sanders in as Democratic padding and then dumped him (fraudulantly I believe?). To oppose them they had what they thought would be a pushover, in the form of Donald Trump. A no hoper they just laughed at. They completely misjudged how clued up people had become and they were far more aware of the state of the country and the corruption and apparent self serving attitude of their leaders, to the point they saw through Clintons smoke and mirrors.
When the Democrats and their backers woke up to the fact that Trump was a serious contender, they tried to use the fear factor, just like Cameron in the UK and just like Brexit it misfired. This is why Clinton tried
the ‘Putin’ card, but that didn’t work either, the people had seen through that bullsh*t long before the election campaign. She even called Trump a ‘
Russian spy and a traitor’ (
or an accusation to that effect).
Then all the Wikileakes releases hit the internet and she accused the Russians of being behind it, in cahoots with Assange (
with no proof of course) and instead of the sh*t sticking to Trump, it rebounded on her. The more ridiculous the accusations the bigger liar she appeared and the further she was dropping in popularity. But the ‘
paid-for’ media kept telling the ‘
approved’ story that Clinton was well ahead. Her backers realised she was a liability and dumped her ....... they now knew they had to compromise and deal with President Trump.
So just think about it? If this deep state is what you say then the coalition is being run by them, not the elected US Government and the same principal applies to NATO. The fear card is needed because this deep state needs an enemy and they have zeroed in on Russia, Iran and China and to a much lesser degree Assad.
I think Trump will try to ‘
drain the swamp’ and that means flushing these few thousand into the open. To do that
HE needs the support of the Military and The People, so he will do all he can to look out for both. Unfortunately, like JFK before him, it is likely that could also be his fate. Many previous Presidents have related the way this small number of evil people have high jacked their country, JFK being one and it most likely cost him his life.
Trumps problem is not going to be US Foreign Policy. The big problem facing him is any attempt to rein in the banking/financial system and Global Corporations...... that will be him signing his own death warrant! This Deep State
IS those very people ...... the Bankers and the Industrialists, especially the Military Industrial Complex ..... and Eisenhower warned the world of that in his retirement(?) speech.
I think you are wrong about Syria and about NATO, neither of these will have anything like the impact he could have on the ‘
deep state’ if he goes on a manhunt, using the US para-military police, US National Guard and the US troops he recalls from abroad. Like the campaign he has just fought he will get the backing of the many of the ordinary people, many of whom have nothing to lose. This is going to be a very interesting next 4 years.
