Some of the above has already filtered out in Trump's announced economic agenda. Now comes the hard part for a man with an exceedingly short attention span who gets into the groove by tweets and sound bites; to coherently sell the plan without picking up unnecessary fights along the way.
But Vlad has already won it anyway
Polls at the moment seem to be pointing to a Hillary landslide. Trump's backers though "would not rely on the polls. Everything is rigged."
And then there's the all-enveloping "Russian aggression" hysteria. Hillary went as far as equating President Putin to Hitler. Trump insists he's ready to do business with Moscow -- starting with a joint operation to end ISIS/ISIL/Daesh for good.
Why bother? The Stupidity-o-Meter as applied to US mainstream media has gone on interstellar overdrive anyway -- as the presidential election winner has already been christened: it's -- who else? -- the omniscient Vladimir Putin.
A business source familiar with the designs of the real Masters of the Universe cuts seriously to the chase: "As far as Russia is concerned, the issue is decided from above, and that is where the battle has been. The decision is above Hillary and Donald, and Hillary will be ordered to create a rapprochement if she is elected, if that is what is decided. If Trump wins, it is easy; and if he doesn't, then the fact he brought it up will be used as a catalyst for policy changes toward Russia. The fight is behind the scenes now."
As much as currency rigging "will be ended, as we already saw Jack Lew give out the orders to Germany and Japan," a new geoeconomic map -- possibly under Trump -- would swing towards the end of the oil price war as well. As a Trump backer puts it, "this is a national objective of the United States, as a higher price will make the United States energy independent. This is part of the significance of the Trump revolution."
According to a source close to the House of Saud, Saudis and Russians are already involved in tortuous pre-negotiations on the possibility of engineering an oil price around $100 a barrel; "There should be enough mutuality of interest between the Saudis betrayed by the US under the neocons, and to be destroyed by the neocons eventually, and the Russians who can prevent that."
An end to the oil price war may be something the Pentagon won't be able to argue about. As a Trump backer notes, "it is in the vital interest of the military-industrial complex to achieve complete energy independence, and repatriate all its military industries to the shores of the United States."
Compared to the current, 24/7 mud-wrestling match, all this may seem straight from Alice in Wonderland. There's no evidence such an ambitious -- and contentious -- agenda can be sold to movers and shakers from JP Morgan to the Koch brothers. Trump creating a cross-party, trans-party or even post-party movement will only succeed if substantial players in the Power Elite are behind it, and there are no signs of this happening.
What proceeds relentlessly is a massive disinformation campaign -- a ghastly remix of those good ol' Cold War anti-USSR avalanches. The Clinton Media Machine is even vilifying Michael Flynn, former head of the DIA, who supports Trump. Trump was conceptually right when he said Obama and Hillary were the founder and co-founder of ISIS/ISIL/Daesh. That's exactly what Flynn admitted in that notorious interview when he stressed that the expansion of the phony Caliphate was a "willful decision" taken in Washington.
The bottom line, as it stands, is that Trump is not raising enough cash to offset the formidable Clinton cash machine. Now comes the time when he must really take no prisoners to gain maximum exposure -- while trying to sell the road map outlined above, one tweet at a time.
And of course there will be a surprise -- October and otherwise. Nothing has been decided -- yet. Disraeli's Coningsby was never more appropriate; "So you see, my dear Coningsby, that the world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes."
