Trump Second Term

President Donald Trump has made some bold challenges to the stagnant foreign policy elite consensus which has proven largely successful (but still too dependent on poor counsel and implementation by neocons). He needs to send all his family and the neocons which have surrounded him who have been his poor advisors packing second term. Nepotism and duplicitous incompetence should not be tolerated.

The accelerated deterioration of our limited constitutional decentralized republic into a corporate socialist welfare-warfare state must be reversed.

In his second term after his reelection he should focus upon building a new peace movement in the tradition of such great leaders as Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson, who believed that monopolistic central banking was unconstitutional, and that gold was the people’s money, while fiat paper dollars create a plutocracy which preys on the savings and liberties of the people by bringing the nation ever closer to war.

The suicidal and destructive policy of having American taxpayers subsidize the military-industrial complex so a privileged amoral elite can gain its “blood money,” therefore demanding ever-growing U.S military outlays, defense contracts, and foreign credit expansion must end.

This peace movement must be based in Realpolitik – political realism and the harsh reality of the truth.

And that harsh truth is that America has been ruled by a parallel system of deep power that operates above and in some ways below our system of democratic governance.

This is the deep state established by the National Security Act of 1947 during the Truman regime.

The deep state is beyond the Constitution. It is separate from the American government which we all learned about in grade school, composed of the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. The deep state has no restrictions on its extra-constitutional actions, no separation of powers, no checks and balances, no transparency or open accounting for its egregious and invasive behavior.

Since after World War II, in the name of fighting the Cold War, this National Security State has been grafted covertly upon the backs of Americans, and is the primal domestic source of all the misery, devastation, and destruction of our once great and noble Republic.

Because of its clandestine nature and covert linkages to organized crime syndicates worldwide, ruthlessness, assassinations, regime change, drug trafficking, extortion and racketeering, money laundering, cyber-crime, and corruption are not aberrations or breakdowns of the deep state, but absolutely endemic to it.

The deep state, driven by the imperial presidency, an acquiescent congress and a complacent federal judiciary, has destroyed the American Republic. This parasitic welfare-warfare state, enabled by the Federal Reserve, fosters, and promotes the profligacy and dependency which is at the root of this destructive process.

In a 1955 study of the United States State Department, foreign policy expert Hans Morgenthau discussed the existence of a US ‘dual state’. According to Morgenthau, the US state included both a ‘regular state hierarchy’ that acts according to the rule of law and a more or less hidden ‘security hierarchy’ which we refer to as the deep state.

In Morgenthau’s view, this security aspect of the state — the ‘security state’ — was able to ‘exert an effective veto over the decisions’ of the regular state governed by the rule of law. While the ‘democratic state’ offers legitimacy to security politics, the deep state intervenes where necessary, by limiting the range of democratic politics.

After the shocking revelations of Wikileaks and Edward Snowden, everyone who wants to can see that U.S. national security agencies of the deep state have the latitude to pursue their chosen policies regardless of the decisions of the visible government.

So who makes up the deep state? This sinister alliance is composed of three primary elements.

First, the “too big to fail” Wall Street banks who profit by the billions from taxpayer bailouts stolen from the US treasury and the Fed, who fuel with their plunder the corruption of our political process by their Super Pacs’ funding of their complacent and compliant shills in Congress.

Next, it is composed of the corrupt crony corporatists who again benefit at the public’s expense from their phony “free trade” deals (such as NAFTA and TPP) deindustrializing and destroying by millions the livelihood and jobs of American workers and their families.

Lastly, and most importantly, the deep state is made up of the military-industrial complex comprised of pentagon profiteers and the National Security State it sustains, with seemingly endless no win wars which have murdered millions of hapless victims across the planet, generating terrorism as blowback from its decades of covert actions and preemptive wars of aggression.

It is time therefore for an authentic nationwide peace movement to arise built upon the following principles:

  • Peace and diplomacy based upon a non-interventionist foreign policy structured upon a strong national defense of the political and territorial integrity of the United States, coupled with a policy of strategic disengagement in world affairs. National borders defended by the highest state of the art technology and physical security.
  • Sound Money: The abolition of the Federal Reserve System as the key instrument in the consolidation of political manipulation and control by elite banking institutions of the American economy, and a return to a free-market commodity monetary standard, such as gold coin denominated by weight. No implementation of an Americanized version of the Chinese Social Credit System by crony corporatism. The Fed enables the empire abroad and fosters domestic tyranny at home.
  • Not since President Andrew Jackson hurled the gauntlet at central banker Nicholas Biddle and his Whig presidential aspirant Henry Clay by destroying the central bank of his time, the Second Bank of the United States, has there been such a need for a challenge to the government-financial establishment.
  • No Draft. By vigorous opposition to draft registration and military conscription, we must make it absolutely clear that while we have no intentions of placing the American people at the mercy of brutal collectivist tyrants abroad, we will not tolerate domestically imposed slavery as an alternative.
  • Eliminate participation in the multitude of multilateral and bilateral, inflationary paper money schemes such as the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and the Export-Import Bank used to finance totalitarianism abroad, while impoverishing Americans in catastrophic debt.
  • Free trade and opposition to protectionism.
  • Decentralized real federalism as opposed to a consolidated national government at the expense of the states.
  • No empire building. Bring the troops home to protect the borders.
  • No corporate welfare.
