It’s been just two weeks of virtual carnage from the Trump administration. I tried optimistically to adapt Obama’s supportive position of “placing myself in the other person’s shoes.” I had hoped that I would see some glimmer of light in Trumps decisions to continue to give sustenance to Obama’s thought. For me, the rooster has sung three times.
It’s been a nightmare beyond my imagination so far…and I believe I have a pretty inventive imagination. I actually started writing this last Saturday but each time I thought I had a line of thought to reflect upon, something new happened and it would detour my mind from the original reflection.
It separated me from my thoughts with a blitz of contradicting actions that disabled me and totally drove me away from the repugnant and palpable reality. And it’s not a world of “Alternative Facts’ if you do rely on facts. I’m sure it drove a lot of us crazy.
It’s basically a Sun Tzu war tactic and it’s the one being implemented by the true Machiavellian power, the fat ventriloquist, behind Trump; Steve Bannon. The ex-Breitbart executive is most definitely the Hyde character behind The Jekyll and Hyde relationship between Bannon and Trump. The thing is that, unlike Trump, Bannon has a plan and it’s not to “Make America Great.”
He, above all, is the link who is putting the racist words and populist nationalistic ideas - that Marxists Allan Woods wrote about in his recent profile - into the mind of the conceited, gullible and narcissistic new President. I believe his desire is self-suicide, world annihilation, including, without a second thought, those that drink his cool aid and listen to his evil sermons.
It’s bothersome to learn that like the Russian revolution leader Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov,“Lenin”, Bannon wants to destroy the state only that, unlike Lenin - who wanted to destroy the czarist state of the house of Romanov - this putrid rectum wants to eradicate the whole establishment disregarding the people in the middle, which happens unfortunately to be us. So where does he intend to take us if he achieves it, to the times of the inquisition?
But what’s scarier is the fact that he wants to do it against all people that aren’t white supremacists. I know that he doesn’t believes that those on his side are going to somehow be invulnerable if an “us against them” arm conflict takes place, which only leads me to believe that he doesn’t give a rat’s ass as to who perishes as long as chaos and destruction is achieved. Remember, his disciple is within distance of his influential voice and is carrying around the Nuclear football.
As they did before taking power, they are constantly baiting and using the media as the free weapon of choice and the network eat it up because, after all, it helps the rating and their pockets. Tragedy promotes rating and sales. The more rubbish they do, the more of a monopoly in the visual media they attain. It’s there for both sides to see, unifying the resolve of both sides, to one day make us confront each other.
Based on Bannon’s Breitbart’s consistent rhetoric, they have begun the process of isolation. First, it was the executive order to ban those seven Muslim Middle East and African nations and, by favoring followers of the Christian faith, have not only placed us against them, but have revived once more the eternal conflict between Muslims and Infidels that started back in the days of the Crusades. “Religion has always been a good reason for the business of war”, says the Military Industrial Complex. Just as long as it is not the children of the privileged who spill their blood.
To make it easier to obtain weapons for those crazy nationalistic, racist recruits that are on his side, they have even eliminated Obama’s law against issuing fire arms to people with mental disorder. The bad side of that, for them, is that there are crazy people on both sides of the fence and the ones on the resistance side will be just as deadly resolved as the ones on their side.
Either way the NRA gains more business at the expense of human lives. My question and what’s intriguing is who will be their clientele if Bannon’s sanguinary plot achieves the disintegration of the establishment the NRA now controls?
The rapid fire of one senseless, shocking thing after the other seems to be the same strategy applied at the beginning of the campaign in order to keep the rest in protest and unbalance while staying visibly in front of those that they are preaching hate to. Most of all, one by one, as we look to one subject and over the dissenting mass, the Trump candidates are being slowly inserted into their intended key positions. The power of the President is consolidating above all else.
Hail Trump! They are beginning to chant.
We’re still in time to be saved if Democracy is to survive this attempt through the safeguards of the Constitution but even with that hope at heart it’s looking dim… From this side of the river.
