Trump is NOT the answer

[shaberon]

Actually, I have to adjust the rhetoric and I have to come up with it within a few days.

It's going to have to ride the first wave of etching the Republican Party from the inside.


This is catch-up, it has already gone to the Washington Post with the registration switch last year, it's not news. I wandered into this by accident because I went berserk when I saw the new maps because I understand the consequences.


First of all, I checked out the local campaign and I would say it is satisfying enough, there's things in it that are para-revolutionary in scope. She is a Unicorn and has put together an accessible enough way for a person to get an idea about the problem that has been created. What it means, is, if she doesn't do this, the same guy just sits in office without lifting a finger.


That's because usually no one pays attention to the Primaries which are coming up soon and you have until the first few days of February to register if you want to take this seriously.

If you just wait until the General Elections in November, you just get the one same candidate. No competition.


Now, to the common understanding, that is grounds for a Revolution. I would say the mere suggestion of it is. For the time being I think the flash message is the only way to change Congress by normal means is to go to the Primaries. That shouldn't have to be a big deal, but this is a rigged situation.


This means it's going to have to use some shill Republicans, which is very easy to define, they don't automatically vote on Party lines.



Get me the Mayor of NYC on a stable platform and I'll give you the south like this:

​I'm done with the leaders in DC (from both parties). We need to vote all of them out and start fresh - with leaders who actually listen.

​

And the only way to get rid of them is to game the corrupt, bullsh*t maps they've drawn to protect their power. That means primaries.

It's the only free and legal way to affect the course of destiny.

100% simple truth.

It may be possible to get this to purge itself without the more severe way I do things. I couldn't do what she's doing. It satisfies the same demand, without being so inflammatory. It's like a step-down transformer of something so grisly and abominating you can't really tell.

The lacuna compared to the way I would put it in regard to a Party would mean you would have to vote for any non-Republican Senator. But that works differently. The maps are about Congress. And because they are rigged, it means unless they are challenged in the Primaries, you will always get an excessive number of the same sitting Republican Congressmen.


It's actually a highly partisan issue, but our new candidate has spun it in a way that is probably far more entry-level than anything I would ever come up with.

If we can take this year and sort of crush the dual-monoparty thing and do anything in the name of a few basic principles I would be fine with that.

I don't know what we can do in a matter of days, it may take another two-year cycle. Is this common knowledge? They're going around shackling you to the same politicians?

Help me help you move this into the halls of power, and I will. This is a good time to make a new synthesis that has an anti-war view sort of inherently. Otherwise we will definitely get the same thing.

shaberon ... Trump really is that bad, but you see him through the 'lens' of an American way of thinking. The FFG shared some of the session they did on Trump. In my own words, they basically saw that he has been placed in that position to collapse the system. IMO, revolution/major disruption can be very successful in destroying a corrupt system that is almost impossible to reform (the USSR went for the collapse option, but without a violent revolution; China chose reform, carefully carried out in a series of 5-year plans). Just my opinion, but the work you are doing is important even though I have said the it is impossible to reform the system. The carefully thought out work you are doing gives America a chance to make revolutionary change and sweep away the corruption, without a violent revolution. Trump is not going to do that. He is the disruptor and destroyer. Supposedly it is the gobalists who are waiting in the wings to take control when Trump has collapsed it all. Trump is not going to rescue America from these globalists (whoever they are) ... he is their tool (unknowingly). It will be people like you who will have to step up and rebuild, and not let the globalists take control. (I don't think they are inherently evil, but I am not keen on a one world government in the hands of an elite group of people.)

It may be.

In one sense, it has probably been mathematically impossible to resolve the federal debt for generations.

The "system" in the sense of numbers and mechanics, etc., may not be salvageable. I'm not particularly interested if the Federal entity survives.

On a human level, we can make reforms. It is not that hard. He only has power because he gets 100% support from the same old Congress and Senate. Every single one of them can be replaced very easily, or, if not every one, enough to where that grip on power is gone.

Here's the thing about this "fishy business". If you think someone is trafficking narcotics, why cannot you catch them on U. S. territory and go in with probable cause?

If you're so smart you know it is coming from a point of origin, then if you prove it by normal means, we might go "oh, you're right. Glad you could track those". That would be very easy to do.

But that's not what this is about. It's a transition from the Bush-era investigation of a lot of dumb facts leading to an unreasonably aggressive move, to just an unreasonably aggressive move that plainly says so.

Elsewhere in the world, this is perceived as Recycled Justifications, Same Strategy:

When Donald Trump declares, “Nobody can stop us,” he is not issuing a threat alone—he is articulating the end of restraint as a governing principle of US power. What once required elaborate justifications, fabricated intelligence, and multilateral cover is now asserted openly: force creates legality, resources validate intervention, and sovereignty survives only at Washington’s discretion.

Considering this is really...a desperate cash grab:

Trump’s warlord rhetoric—reducing geopolitics to loot, threats, and spectacle—reflects an empire that no longer invests in persuasion. Iraq demonstrated that falsehood incurs no penalty. Venezuela tests whether justification itself is now unnecessary. The shift from nation-building to asset stripping, from legitimacy to force, marks not confidence but decay.

When an empire declares that “nobody can stop us,” it is not announcing strength. It is acknowledging that the systems designed to restrain power have failed.

Venezuela, like Iraq before it, is not an exception. It is a test case. And history suggests that empires which abandon even the language of law eventually discover that power alone is a fragile foundation.

What I am observing is fewer and fewer Americans are interacting with these threads. I'm guessing this is fallout from the "Q material". There obviously is a side that thoroughly agrees with the recent intervention, and, you can't talk to them. Conversely, we used to get scorching stuff every day whether it was the FDA, or Homeland Security, or something revolting about taxes, whatever, and now it is this non-negotiable black and white thing.

As a critic, I haven't thought "defund the courts" and all of that was the right way to rebel, and as of now I'm simply going to select a candidate.

Here, you can replace the Same Thing with something different if you actually just do it. I think it could work, that it could be more than just talk, that we could at least get rid of this obsolete unending loop of the Same Thing.

Trump's Plan to Seize Greenland Would "Militarize the Arctic," Trample Indigenous Rights

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=a0fXZAqjFOQ

Following the U.S. attack on Venezuela, the Trump administration has renewed its campaign to take over Greenland, which has been controlled by Denmark for more than 300 years. The White House says it's considering "a range of options," including the use of military force. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has warned that if the U.S. were to attack Greenland, it would spell the end of NATO.

"Greenland is not up for sale," says Aaju Peter, a Greenlandic Inuit activist and attorney, who says Indigenous Greenlanders want their independence from both the U.S. and Denmark.

We also speak with analyst Pavel Devyatkin, who says the U.S. is "acting like a rogue state" and enacting a policy of "pure imperialism."

I missed that detail but I noticed how much non-americans care so much about what is happening in america at the expense of their own stress levels. [AND too much time spent on propaganda.]

I think Trump is not a deep thinker. He does not demonstrate long-term thoughtfulness nor care in communication. But what to do with a system that perceives the lessor of two evils as somehow the better choice? [AND the only choice.]

I think fewer americans interact with these threads because they realize what is in or out of their control. These drama and events do little to affect the individual or the family unit. There is no return on any effort and the expense is wasted time.

Misery like usual, loves company. Time is being spent hopefully on something more productive.

I like to know about those things but I am an outsider in countries where I am not.

I don't consider the internal affairs of France or China are really my business.

Israel is totally different, for reasons that should not be hard to understand.

I think Trump is not a deep thinker. He does not demonstrate long-term thoughtfulness nor care in communication. But what to do with a system that perceives the lessor of two evils as somehow the better choice? [AND the only choice.]

To produce a viable third party.

That's what this year is about. Whether an actual, named party, or just a band of related opinions about things we are tired of.

He just said on NBC and Time "they will find a reason to impeach me if we don't win the mid-terms".

Actually there are about twenty, until we pencil in some updates. Being in office is like giving him rope to hang himself with. He just said it. He's talking to "we" which is diminishing.

That's why after all these years of discussing philosophy and history and so on, I found someone who spoke the plain truth. For there to be change, you have to win it in the Primaries. Because you don't, every election will be the "lesser of two evils" choice -- if you even get a choice. Where I am right now, you don't. Democracy is dead. That will never change unless you change it in the Primaries.

We are free to replace all his Congressmen and Senators and basically replace his Party.

Return the favor, since it has a plan to permanently subordinate us, it can just have that back.

My sense is the emerging British Empire shadow banking noise is a red herring to cover up 9/11 as if it wasn't enough already. That, and to extend the well-being of...the Party...which let's remember that it doesn't like you.

I have a sitting President recommend that I leave the country, so his Party can sit in absolute power indefinitely?

And, you know what, the thing that tempers my response from going absolutely ballistic will be found along the lines of civilization by women. That definitely has something to do with replacing the Party, or, if we get enough momentum, the whole dualized monoparty by a third.

I of course use strong language like an acid bath, but I am usually literal, and so by "ballistic", it should be understood literally as "projectile". Due to circumstances, I believe we have reached a junction point that could perhaps lead to something very unlike what we have seen -- or else it could spiral in to angry mobs which we have also seen. Something similar to the Civil Rights era, except this is an even more basic step like Human Rights.

Simple equation. How come nobody ever said that in this forum? If there is a major complaint, you can put someone in Congress very easily. Not necessarily in the major districts, but, there are a whole lot of smaller ones and you have to do it by numbers.

In my whole life I have paid zero attention to any of that, however it is one main issue that I find important and I am confident that there are enough who share a similar view that it is not a waste of time because you can't succeed if you don't try.

[shaberon]

So I'm sitting here with a simple fact I did not get from this forum, and in this thread I see a collection of angry voices who led visible protests over the Venezuela fiasco.

Who are these people and what are they doing? Obviously I, or anyone who supports the general position of this thread, share something, and collectively failed to prevent a damn thing so far.

What's going on?


"People over Pentagon" is an Act, H. R. 1194. That's tangible. It proposes a minor reduction in the Defense budget. Obviously this is not easy to get. Any negative number is sure to be scoffed at.


Dissenters is a crowd of young people. There isn't really anything else on their home page. There might be a little more to it through the links, but it appears shapeless. One basic point. They don't know I have already stolen their souls, but they are going to find out.


Dismantle the MIC is a "resource hub" themed on Eisenhower's farewell address. It seems vested towards education if you want to learn a lot of stuff about defense contractors and so forth.


Friends Committee on National Legislation is the Quaker lobbyists since 1943. That's perfectly legitimate. I didn't specifically ask if they had ever gotten anything passed. That's seventy years of Quaker presence in DC and my first impression is that Federal behavior does not resemble the Society of Friends. I'm going to guess that very little of their main idea which is the same as mine, has been particularly welcomed.


ANSWER is a NYC-based response to 9/11 which includes communists and is anti-Zionist enough to instead support Hezbollah. And so it is because of those tendencies or "connections" that most other groups shy away from them. Too strong. Too acerbic. These must be the ones that Trump was telling to leave the country and I am guilty by association.


I see a few pieces of proposed legislation, and I wouldn't be terribly surprised if the Quakers got $75,000 for some windmills in 1972, but let's say they're far from the dominant party.

None of this is known to have fielded a Congressman. They are proposing legislation to an organization that basically does not want it. When you change the person, you change that, and you get a vote that can break a caucus.

There is no reason they can't put in some candidates somewhere. There is a reason that, if successful, none of those are likely to become powerful influential individuals any time soon, but, it's Congress, a vote is a vote, a dustbowl in Wyoming is equal to Manhattan.

Maybe some things happened that we just don't know about, but, this basic fact of how the government works seems completely ignored. As do most of the protest statements when those things happen. You are invoking someone who looks at you like a statistic rather than a living being. I've never tried that but I am going to try this.

Once again, you get another glib automatic response ICE is right. He wasn't there. Everybody knows they're gunmen. So now you have polarized deep embitterment to the level of the Governor of Minnesota.

Add the President of Germany for destroying world order:

“Then there is the breakdown of values by our most important partner, the USA, which helped build this world order,” Steinmeier said in remarks at a symposium late on Wednesday.

“It is about preventing the world from turning into a den of robbers, where the most unscrupulous take whatever they want, where regions or entire countries are treated as the property of a few great powers,” he said.

However there may be an out-of-control slip from the Epstein saga:

The ideological base of the UAE-Israel axis is Zionist Islamophobia, combined with totalitarian hyper-neoliberalism.

One of his roles was to network this stuff around the Horn of Africa, which, obviously, is an ideological match to the American idea. Apparently now the concern is that it will simply go independent, that is, outside of America's control and not to the benefit of its capitalists.

What a thickly tangled web we weave.

The Iranian response -- and it is nice they will say it openly -- is that after decades of restraint, they may shift to pre-emptive strikes.

My first litmus test says that it will be easy to mobilize millions in the "negative" sense, that is, those who oppose this extremist behavior. That much is realistic. Big cultural shifts like "socialism" or "Hamas" probably are not; rebuking the Party is. I think we may be able to sink the drone hive mind that clings to fear and aggression. It won't go away completely, but you can push it to an impotent minority.

I would love to know, who are those 47 senators, who are for wars... who is supporting Trump for his wars...

Republicans except:

GOP Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine, Todd Young of Indiana and Josh Hawley of Missouri backed the measure to check Trump in a 52-47 vote. Paul, a co-sponsor of the resolution, and Murkowski have supported previous attempts to rein in Trump. Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania also supported the measure despite previously signaling he might oppose it.

The vote is a shocking sign of divisions among Republicans on Trump’s plans for the South American country, and an about-face to a November vote on limiting the president that failed. Democrats have promised more tough votes that force Republicans to take a public stance as Trump threatens to seize Greenland and floats military action in Colombia.


Three Republicans who previously opposed efforts to restrict Trump changed their votes in this latest effort, citing concerns about a possible U.S. military presence in the country. Collins, who chairs the Senate Appropriations Committee, Hawley and Young supported the measure after opposing an earlier resolution that came to the floor before Maduro’s ouster.

It's a re-firing of Senate Resolution 98, introduced on Dec. 03.

By "shaming" his "betrayers", I believe he has permanently reduced his allegiance to a minority among the Senators. It's not enough for an impeachment (2/3). A Resolution isn't anything binding, it only shows the majority view. Remember, he can never heal this, he can only break it down more. And then if you act in a way to blatantly defy the Senate, then there can be tangible repercussions, rather than the revelation you just fell out of power.


There is also HCR68 which likewise needs about six votes to swing to make a similar Congressional "rebuke".

There is HR9761 about limiting Executive Orders, while there are a few proposals rolling that would of course tend to increase the President's powers.

But yeah, flipping the Senate over Christmas by your own free will is not particularly foresighted.

David Icke is spot on, as usual with his recent views on the current situation. I wholeheartedly agree with everything that he addressed here. He's consistent with his views regardless of political allegiances. Oftentimes to his detriment.

It is always interesting (and a bit sad) to observe someone lose their moral reasoning. I have not always agreed with David, but I always believed he was travelling on the right path. When he began his journey down the Protocols of the Elders, he stepped into some sort of weird dimensional slipstream. He could still understand that powerful unseen forces were pulling the strings, but he no longer saw that he was being misled and manipulated. He is still on the right board, he is just moving the wrong pieces.

1) David Icke has never ever embraced the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and said what most researchers have said: that they were a probable forgery. The word "probable" is in place because there is no original manuscript and it is a wide open field for guessing as to who wrote it, when and where, and how it was plagiarized from other documents.

From: And The Truth Shall Set You Free, page 57:

In the very late 1800s, a controversial document came to light called the Protocols of The Elders of Zion. I call them Illuminati Protocols and I quote many extracts from them in The Robot’s Rebellion. Some say they were a forgery made public only to discredit Jews, and I use the term ‘Illuminati Protocols’ to get away from the Jewish emphasis. If they were a forgery, something that is quite possible, what were they a forgery of, and by whom? The authors of the best selling book, Holy Blood, Holy Grail conclude that the original Protocols were indeed authentic. They suggest that they were the work of an elite group called The Priory of Sion, the inner, controlling, core of the Knights Templars. They believe that this original document was changed to make it appear as a Jewish plot. I certainly would not dismiss such a conclusion.

2) Not sure if this is the insinuation your are making, but the Protocols is not about Zionism. The "conspiracy" detailed is one to take power of institutions (political, religious, etc.) and corrupt them. It is not about taking over a piece of land to create a Jewish State. When the Protocols were first published at the beginning of the 20th century, the idea of Zionism was already a few decades old and it is interesting that this idea is NOT mentioned in the tract.

David does not explicitly endorse The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, but he repurposes them and then endorses them under the terminology of Illuminati Protocols. In his early work, he focused more on exposing the manipulation of governments, the media and the globalists. His initial message centered around power, deception and the need for people to become aware. Sometime around 2000, he started talking about shapeshifting reptilians. This idea seems to have come about around the same time that he mentioned the protocols. Once he latched onto this message, I felt certain that he remained on the correct path but was being manipulated to misdirect those paying attention. Don't get me wrong, I am making no attempt to discredit him, but I honestly feel he has been nudged off the right road.

Here is a compilation of predictions I made in March 2016 and a warning I issued in 2022.

I was the first to suggest that Donald Trump is a narcissist: https://www.americanthinker.com/artic...

Trump: Narcissist in the White House? • Trump: Narcissist in the White House?

https://www.americanthinker.com/artic...

I have a moral and professional obligation to warn against this narcissist.

Finally I've seen the light and now I know Trump is NOT the answer...

He walked right past a little kitten who wanted it's tummy tickled - that's it - I'm done -

According to anonymous sources in the White House little Algernon was rolling over for a tickle as Trump hurried past on his way to Air Force One to go to Davos - only to be totally ignored - what kind of a monster is that man - ?


Algernon lying next to his blanket -
Lifts his paw wanting a tickle -
Rolls over as his tummy remains UNTICKLED - (00:09)

As far as I'm concerned, meeting world leaders, saving America and being in a bit of a hurry is NO EXCUSE -
