Donald Trump’s strategy in three words: ‘Americanism, not globalism’ - Washington Post, July 22, 2016
"The most important difference between our plan and that of our opponent is that our plan will put America first," Trump said. "Americanism, not globalism, will be our credo."April 27, 2017 - Interview with WSJ
Trump: ‘I’m a Nationalist and a Globalist’ - Bretibart, April 28, 2017
“Hey, I’m a nationalist and a globalist,” Trump told the Wall Street Journal on Thursday. “I’m both.”The comments made during an interview with the Wall Street Journal by President Trump culminate a series of policy changes that have perplexed analysts and many of his supporters.
“And I’m the only one who makes the decision, believe me,” Trump said.
First, I'd like to provide some perspective based on a timeline of events from March 29 through April 8:
On March 30, the Trump administration seems to accept the idea of Assad staying. On March 31, President Trump meets with former Secretary of State Rice who favors a more aggressive stance on Syria. But, on April 2, President Trump golfs with Senator Rand Paul (Ron Paul's son). On April 3, the Trump administration seems to hedge on Assad by calling him a war criminal. On April 4, the US administration blames Assad for the chemical attack. The next day, April 5, former Congressman Ron Paul claims there was zero chance that Assad would have done this chemical attack deliberately and brings up the possibility of a false flag attack. On April 6, President Trump orders missile attacks on a Syrian air base and suggests Assad should be removed from power. On April 7, Ron Paul calls for a revolution. In the midst of this, tensions with North Korea rise and both Russia and China solidify their move away from the US dollar in global trade. My question is what did Senator Paul really discuss with the president (aside from healthcare)?
As a result of the bombing of Syria, the alternative media has justifiably criticized President Trump. A large base of Trump supporters voted for him to prevent war with Russia and avoid blowing up the world. The Syrian attack completely contradicts the platform he ran on (in addition to prior tweets on Syria in 2013). So, has President Trump sold out?
Bix Weir has always spoken about there being good guys and the bad guys within the government. He has a positive view on President Trump's actions:
CONFUSED? Trump's 5 New Accomplishments (Bix Weir) - Youtube, April 11, 2017
He contends that the cruise missile attack is just a plain orchestration (empty airbase - no one died). The five immediate outcomes according to him are as follows:
1. Change the narrative (Russia)
2. Itchy trigger finger
3. Exposed the CIA
4. Destabilized economy
5. Change judgement stance
Talk of war with Russia has quieted the past few weeks as the war machine gets a reality check (although a war with North Korea could happen anytime). So, maybe things aren't so dire.
But what about draining the swamp and ending the FED??? It looks like my two predictions are far away from actually happening:
Donald Trump Will End The FED And Move US Toward The Gold Standard - January 2, 2017
President Trump Will Drain The Swamp (or die trying) - February 13, 2017
Not necessarily. My view is that President Trump is putting all his cards on the table to deal with a huge threat - North Korea. Some in the alternative media think that the deep state has something incriminating on President Trump and are blackmailing him to start war. While a possibility, I don't see this as likely - especially don't agree with those who blame Jews!!!
First, let's take a look at the political landscape.
The Democratic party is a complete mess as they continue their Russia hysteria.
I covered this in an earlier post here:
The Hypocrisy of Progressives Will Be Their End - January 10, 2017
This post has been proven correct as the only Democratic member of Congress (Rep Tulsi Gabbard) not to toe the party line on Assad got slammed by party leaders.
Democratic leaders slam Rep. Tulsi Gabbard for being ‘skeptical’ Assad ordered chemical weapons attack in Syria - NY Daily News, April 10, 2017
At this time, there can not be any meaningful cooperation between the Trump administration and the Democratic party.
But, to effectively deal with North Korea, President Trump needs a larger base of support. Unfortunately, a good portion of the population is still influenced by the discredited, war mongering mainstream media. Notice how as soon as the President bombed Syria, all these fake journalists started cheering. It really is a poor reflection of our population that continue to watch their nonsense.
So, to gain that extra support from those outside the liberty movement and the alternative media, President Trump has altered his strategy and effectively joined the deep state.
I view this as an extension of a strategy I alluded to in a prior post and a further alignment to the establishment elements of the Republican party:
Phase One of Trump Plan to Defeat Deep State - Take Out Leftist Faction - March 5, 2017
I do believe the policy gaps between the Trump base (some in the liberty movement and the alternative media) are easier to bridge with mainstream Republicans (like those who listen to Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Mark Levin) than Democrats. That means converting war hawks to libertarians. They can start by learning about the deep state and reading posts like one I wrote:
President Trump Is Not Acting Weak Towards Russia but Is Fighting the Deep State - February 7, 2017
Still might be hard for those in the military-industrial complex. This quote by Upton Sinclair says it all:
"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!"
Which brings me back to where Congressman Paul fits into this. While he does not advocate war, I found his take on North Korea interesting:
Ron Paul: N. Korea kept unstable 'on purpose' - Washington Examiner, April 17, 2017
Former Texas Republican congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul argued in a video clip he Tweeted Monday that U.S. foreign policy intentionally keeps North Korea unstable so the communist nation can play the role of international boogeyman.If you go down the rabbit hole far enough, maybe all roads lead to the deep state:
"We've been doing this all this time and it's almost like [it is] to keep it unstable ... The instability is [because] we have promised the South Koreans that, 'We are going to take care of you. We are going to provide your weaponry. We are going to provide your indirect subsidies. We are going to take care of you and we're going to make sure that North Korea is held in check.' Don't ever talk to them. Don't ever have an open-door policy ... We need an enemy and for that part of the world, it is North Korea. They serve as the monster in that area," Paul said.
The former lawmaker argued that was not President Trump's intention but he is now "falling in line" with the existing policy.
Is Kim Jong-Un a MK-Ultra Monarch asset of the US government used to start the World War 3??? - Youtube, March 29, 2013
So could North Korea be part of President Trump's big fight against the deep state?
The implications of this are biblical as evidenced here:
Mystical rabbi predicted today's top threat 22 years ago - 'The nuclear key to the final war of Gog and Magog' - WND, April 25, 2017
And, they tie into a certain individual in my prior posts here and here.
Note that Congressman Paul hasn't been afraid of discussing controversial topics in the past.
Ron Paul: Government Had Foreknowledge of 9/11 Terror Attacks - The Washington Free Beacon - August 28, 2014
"I believe that if we ever get the full truth [about 9/11], we'll find out that our government had it in the records exactly what the plans were, or at least close to it," said Paul, during the interview with Money and Markets host Charles Goyette. "You already mentioned that [the U.S. government] had been warned that something was going to happen."So maybe that is the new plan to defeat the deep state - President Trump joins it while Congressman Ron Paul (and by extension his son, Senator Rand Paul) lead the opposition.
"The Kennedy assassination probe and commission, we don’t know the truth about that, and probably 80 percent of the American people don’t even believe that [Lee Harvey] Oswald was the only one involved," said Paul. "Also we don’t know all we should know about Martin Luther King assassination, either."
I hope they are successful, since the world's fate depends on it.
