Yeah, something about this stinks. But if you look at what Trump does (politically and economically), and how his plan to weaken the dollar will put rocket fuel under his family’s real estate empire (property developers use asset/liability management to thrive on inflation and debt), it’s tough to believe the “deep state” really hates him. If he’s not officially one of them, he certainly at least fits in with them and runs in their circles, after all.

Does he have any serious plans to end the Fed? Restore sound money? Clean out the Pentagon, FBI or DHS? Dismantle the security state? Prosecute Anthony Fauci et al? Or even explain what happened to the billions of tax dollars that disappeared from the government’s Exchange Stabilization Fund that he put his buddy Steven Mnuchin exclusively in charge of during the waning days of his presidency? The answers are no, no, no, no and no.

But he’s the enemy of the Deep State. Sure he is. There’s something else going in n here that we don’t know about, IMO. Somebody wanted him dead for some reason, but a simple act of taking him out of the presidential race isn’t it, methinks. I’m guessing it will take a long time and a LOT of sleuthing to find out what this was really all about.

True about Trump attempting to not directly engage in war with Russia, but instead of pointing out NATO itself, per se, as the problem (and Zionist Victoria Nuland and the gaggle of paranoid Neocons advocating for the breakup of Russia into many smaller, more easily controlled countries), he only advocated for NATO nations to pony up a bigger share of their expenses. Putin (correctly, in my opinion), saw this not as attempting to broker peace, but actually to buff up NATO further by increasing its financial reserves and forcing Europe to have more skin in the game. And to become even more deeply rooted vassals of the US, which puts Russia in even greater long term danger. So, there was no net structural progress towards peace during Trump’s presidency from what I can see. Just because war didn’t break out until Biden’s term, doesn’t mean that subtle covert progress towards that end couldn’t have been being carried out beforehand, even if the movement was couched in MAGA guise.

Obviously I’m not privy to insider info so I’m purely speculating, here, but the fact that Trump was concerned about pulling Europe deeper into funding NATO while doing absolutely nothing (from what my very outside perspective can tell) to rein in, depose or otherwise negate the people and institutions preparing the ground for war, leads me to conclude that he was not, in fact, the attempted peace negotiator many believe him to be.

And then there was that little issue of moving the US Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. Was there ever an adequate explanation given for that? It seemed like a strange operation, completely unnecessary but a sure poke to the middle eastern hornet’s nest. A helping hand to the Zionists, who are hoping to usher in the destruction of the world to call their Rapture? A bone to criminal Netinyahu, a signal that America is, in fact, “all in” on the final destruction of Palestine and seizure of their land for construction of the Ben Gurion shipping canal? Or something else entirely? Whatever, it was a move that certainly didn’t help preserve the fragile regional stability that existed at that time.

And finally, AGAIN, what about the missing Exchange Stabilization Funds that Trump put his good buddy Mnuchin in charge of?? Billions of our tax dollars disappeared without a trace, and absolutely nobody wants to acknowledge that or get the story behind it!! Why?? If we ignore being ripped off by our “savior”, does that turn him into a good guy? It doesn’t in MY book!

Last but not least, has Trump done anything, promised to do anything, or even mentioned the problem of precious metals price suppression? Is he going to dismantle the CRIMEX, fire Gary Gensler, clean out JP Morgan, find out or disclose where the gold from the JPM vaults was carried away to as the twin towers fell, and allow free markets and price discovery to operate again? Maybe you’ve heard him talk about that; I have not.

I could go on but I rest my case here. I have yet to come up with any convincing arguments that Trump is incompatible with the deep state, and plenty to suggest that at least he knows his way around in it, if he and his family aren’t active participants in it at some level. The argument that they’re afraid of him is ludicrous in my book. What was that old CIA saying, something like “Presidents come and presidents go, but the Deep State continues operating”? The whole simple David vs. Goliath story is just too obvious and clean for my taste. Real life is complex and messy. Neither the story of a lone, deranged young man concluding “Orange man bad” nor the narrative that the CIA set Trump up for simple assassination, pass my sniff test. I think there’s a very long, complicated and messy story behind what happened, and long, messy stories usually accompany people with long, messy histories.

Trump is a master hypnotist and showman, so let’s treat him as such. If he wants to show me he’s actually who he presents himself as being, let him start by Locking Her (his friend) Up, as he promised to do last time; putting Fauci on trial; cutting off government funding for every research lab associated with Covid; exposing the CRIMEX fraud for what it really is, and encouraging all Americans to exchange their rotten Fed debt notes for gold and silver. That’s what I would do. Yep, all that would cause one hell a lot of chaos, socially as well as financially, but our impending downward spiral is going to be frightening and chaotic anyway, so why not help the people instead of using your country’s decline to expand your real estate empire and become even MORE powerful and wealthy? Guiding your people into lifeboats and towards safety in the storm is what a leader is supposed to do. Trump makes sense in that way if you take the perspective that the wealthy and powerful are “his people” and he’s going to take care of them (weaker dollar and higher stock markets, anyone?). As for the rest of us, he’s shown no intention, in my opinion, of even making sure there are any life preservers. And expanding the debt further to create the illusion of prosperity for a few more years, as he did last time, doesn’t count as helping we passengers on the Titanic, IMO.
