Trump is the Anti-Obama, Just Like Obama Was the Anti-Bush (But It’s All a Con Game)

Different color, same Kool Aid
Remember
that illusory “hope and change thing” from 2008?
Tens of
millions fell for it. Obama looked SO different from Bush. So we assumed
his policies would be different.
Bad
assumption. And now, eight years later, many of us are making the same mistake.
Trump
looks SO different from Obama, who comes across as a sensitive, educated,
literate, liberal, wishy-washy, black, globalist anti-racist. Trump embodies
the precise opposite of all these qualities: He is an ultra-assertive
insensitive racist nativist nationalist boor who has never finished a
serious book in his life.
I wrote
most of the first edition of this
book BEFORE the 2008 election – and called the entire Obama presidency
right. Now, in this article, I’m calling the Trump presidency…before it has
even started. (Hope I’m wrong.)
Such differences
are purely superficial, designed to hypnotize us into imagining that we are
living in a democracy. In reality, presidents are just front men for the global
elite and the powerful interests they represent. Their job is to provide a change
of scenery so that business-as-usual can continue unmolested by plebs seeking a
bigger slice of the pie. To create a really enthralling change of scenery,
something to utterly hypnotize the masses and distract them from the
actual dire situation, the DIPS (Dominant Inbred Psychopaths) have learned to
bring on a front man who seemingly offers the greatest possible contrast with
the previous front man.
Hillary
didn’t offer enough contrast with Obama; her real function was to play the foil
for the rise of Trump. Like Obama, she’s liberal, educated, literate, a little
too smooth, and basically a compromiser who identifies with the left wing of
the power elite and shares its globalist ideals. And just as Obama was the
first black president, Hillary would have been the first woman president.
Symbolically as well as in actuality, a Hillary presidency would have been
another Obama presidency. That would have driven the Obama-haters nuts. They
had to be thrown a bone, just as the Bush-haters were thrown a bone with the
coronation of Obama in 2008.
Some criticize Trump for his lack of political
experience. But the truth is that Trump’s background provides perfect
preparation for the presidency: He is a lifelong front-man for organized crime.
Trump got his job in the Meyer Lansky mob through his mentor, Roy Cohn.
Fronting for organized crime, and fronting for the government of the United
States, is pretty much the same thing these days. Trump has got plenty of the
only kind of experience that really counts.
But experienced or not, Trump (like Obama, and Bush before him) is being set up to fail. The truth is that America is becoming increasingly ungovernable, and nobody will be able to change that – at least not for a very long time. The USA’s national identity, and its citizens’ governability, is predicated on endless rapid economic growth with benefits enjoyed by all, or at least most. But the era of rapid American economic growth is over, and such new wealth as is being created is hogged by the top .01%. Ordinary people are facing life sentences of permanent stagnation or worse, and their children’s lot will be even worse than theirs.
These
are structural problems that cannot be solved by anything short of revolution –
not the illusory revolution offered as a marketing slogan, along with cosmetic
reforms, by the likes of Bernie Sanders, but real revolution. (And/or the
breakout of “free energy” technologies.)
As the
BBC documentary The Power of Nightmares explains,
the era of the politics of hope (predicated on endless economic growth and
equitably shared benefits) has been eclipsed in the post-9/11 era by the
politics of fear.
Bush-Cheney
inaugurated the fear era with a satanic public ceremony: The human sacrifice of
3,000 people on 9/11/01. When people started catching on, PRESTO-CHANGE-O they
wheeled out Obama, the anti-Bush, to distract, hypnotize and stupefy the
anti-Bush crowd. Now people have caught on that the 2008 recession never ended
and will never end (at least not for ordinary folks) so the illusion of another
massive change is necessary. Bring on Trump, the ultimate distraction, to
mollify the Obama-haters!
Trump’s
superficial anti-globalist anti-New-World-Order facade is going to be set up to
take the blame for the bad stuff that’s coming. The globalists will say: See,
we told you that Trump and his nationalist nativism would be a disaster! Then
they’ll wheel out the anti-Trump, whether in 2020 or 2024, who will be totally
pro-globalist, maybe outright pro-world-government, and who will offer the
greatest possible superficial and meaningless contrast with Trump himself, who
will be even more loathed then than he is now.
The
whole time, business-as-usual will continue, perhaps interrupted by one or more
spectacular false flags to keep the fear level raised to orange.
You
don’t have to be Nostradamus to figure this stuff out. It’s all right there in
front of anyone with eyes to see.
