Monday, 4 November 2019 - Greg Canavan At this point you may be wondering, if Trump is so hated, how will he get re-elected? To help answer that question, read the following snippets from one of Trump’s speeches from the 2016 Presidential campaign. It explains a lot…‘Our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt political establishment, with a new government controlled by you, the American people. The Washington establishment, and the financial and media corporations that fund it, exist for only one reason; to protect and enrich itself. ‘The establishment has trillions of dollars at stake in this election. For those that control the levers of power in Washington, and for the global special interests, they partner with these people, that don’t have your good in mind. ‘Our campaign represents a true existential threat like they haven’t seen before. This is not simply another four year election. This is a crossroads in the history of our civilisation, that will determine whether or not, we the people, reclaim control over our government. ‘The political establishment that is trying to stop us, is the same group responsible for our disastrous trade deals, massive illegal immigration and economic and foreign policies that have bled our country dry.‘This election will determine whether we are a free nation, or whether we have only the illusion of democracy, but are in fact controlled by a small handful of global special interests rigging the system…and our system is rigged. ‘The Clinton machine is at the centre of this power structure. We’ve seen this first hand in the Wikileaks documents, in which Hilary Clinton meets in secret with international banks to plot the destruction of US sovereignty, in order to enrich these global financial powers, her special interest friends, and her donors. ‘The most powerful weapon deployed by the Clintons, is the corporate media, the press. Let’s be clear on one thing, the corporate media in our country is no longer involved in journalism. They’re a political special interest, no different to any lobbyist or other financial entity, with a total political agenda, and the agenda is not for you, it’s for themselves.’This is a very powerful message. It resonated with enough people to get him elected. And now his policies are ‘working’, more people are seeing through the media spin. That’s why I believe Trump’s support is likely to grow.Clearly, Trump is not part of the ‘establishment’. Based on his speech (above), now you have some idea why the establishment (via their liberal media arm) attack him relentlessly. He really does represent an existential threat to their stronghold on power.That’s why the Democrats are desperate to win the mid-term elections so they can try to impeach him, and shut down the investigations currently going on behind the scenes to expose ‘deep state’ criminality.But how did this deep state become so embedded within the US system of government? What is it they are trying to do? And what, exactly, is Trump trying to undo? In short, team Trump (it’s not just him) see globalisation as a threat to US sovereignty. They believe global institutions have amassed significant power and influence to enrich themselves at the expense of the common person, yet they do not answer to any electorate.They believe that successive governments (Democrats and Republicans) have allowed banking and corporate interests to ‘rig the system’ for their own benefit. And the corporate media is in on it too, helping to drive a narrative that supports the tenants of globalisation.Tomorrow, I’ll take a look at ‘globalisation’ and see what sort of society it has produced…
