Despite claims to the contrary, Trump is not advocating for peace with Russia, or North Korea or any other nation.
He is selling us out to the war hawks.
The latest squawk over Iran is just more of the same chest-thumping, sleight-of-hand intended to play into the hands of a salivating military industrial complex for whom war is merely a means to a larger profit margin.
The war hawks have no beef with Trump.
Why should they? He's giving them exactly what they want.
With Trump's blessing, the military's budget -- with its trillion dollar wars, its $125 billion in administrative waste, and its contractor-driven price gouging that hits the American taxpayer where it hurts the most -- will continue to grow.
Borrowing a leaf from his buddies in China, Russia and North Korea, Trump is even planning a $12 million military parade on November 10 to showcase the nation's military might.
Follow the money.
It always points the way.
The corporations are getting richer, average Americans are getting poorer, the military is getting more militaristic, America's endless wars are getting more endless, and the prospect of peace grows ever dimmer.
This is exactly how you keep the Deep State in power.
We've been losing our freedoms so incrementally for so long -- sold to us in the name of national security and global peace, maintained by way of martial law disguised as law and order, and enforced by a standing army of militarized police and a political elite determined to maintain their powers at all costs--that it's hard to pinpoint exactly when it all started going downhill, but we're certainly on that downward trajectory now, and things are moving fast.
The "government of the people, by the people, for the people" has perished.
In its place is a shadow government, a corporatized, militarized, entrenched bureaucracy that is fully operational and staffed by unelected officials who are, in essence, running the country and calling the shots in Washington DC, no matter who sits in the White House.
Mind you, by "government," I'm not referring to the highly partisan, two-party bureaucracy of the Republicans and Democrats.
Rather, I'm referring to "government" with a capital "G," the entrenched Deep State that is unaffected by elections, unaltered by populist movements, and has set itself beyond the reach of the law.
