If you don\u2019t believe these networks exist, and that some powerful\nand influential people in business, politics, and entertainment are part of\nthese networks, you\u2019re about to find out. We all are. Hopefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump\u2019s job (and I hope he does it) is to release\ninformation that has been being slowly collected since 2017. Right now there\nare over 100,000 sealed proceedings sitting at the DOJ, waiting for the light\nof day. Only a very few of these have been unsealed as of this writing.\nReleasing this info will identify a lot of the dark actors, and make possible\nthe dismantling of the dark networks. However, the president may decide that\nhis own re-election, and the attraction of being in the spotlight, may be more\nimportant. He may abandon his mission and go down the road of personal power\nand gain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What is certain is that, eventually, the majority of the\npopulation will become tired not only of endless war, but of endless debate,\ncontention, and confrontation. The wave of support Trump experienced in 2016\nmay last until 2020, but some time along the road voters will be looking for\npoliticians who can bring everyone together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;Right now that simply\ncannot happen because the corruption in our politics is so ingrained, and so\nubiquitous, that the system needs to be cleaned out first. Trump is the\nperfect&nbsp; guy to do this: someone with a\nhuge ability to confront darkness, who will never back down until the end. This\nis the same characteristic that will eventually lead to the end of the Trump\nphenomenon. But that\u2019s down the road a little way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, so&nbsp; far\nat least, the Democrats are clueless. For example, here is what Bernie Sanders\nsaid about Trump:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8216;To bring the American people together around an agenda that works for all of us, not just the wealthy on top,\u2019\u201d Sanders said. \u2018<em>We have a president who is a racist, who is a sexist, who is a homophobe, a xenophobe, and he is a religious bigot. His strategy of reelection is to divide the American people up<\/em>. Our job is to allow him not to do that.\u2019\u201d<\/p><cite> Source: \u201cJoe Biden and Bernie Sanders had 2 very different answers to Trump\u2019s official 2020 campaign launch,\u201d Vox, Ella Nilsen, Jun 18, 2019,https:\/\/www.vox.com\/policy-and-politics\/2019\/6\/18\/18684456\/joe-biden-bernie-sanders-trump-2020-campaign <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Poor ol\u2019 Bernie. If you don\u2019t have enough self-awareness to understand that using terms like racist, sexist, homophobe, xenophobe, and bigot are themselves very, very divisive, you don\u2019t deserve to be the political leader of our country. And if you\u2019re doing it on purpose, that\u2019s even worse.  If you object to the divisiveness of Trump, why are you being so divisive yourself? We all know what Trump is, and what his mission is. Trump has to be confrontational in order to take down the dark networks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The other Democratic candidates (so far) provide absolutely no alternative to Trump because they use the same tactics as Trump. What\u2019s the difference between a fascist and an \u201canti-fascist\u201d if they both use the same tactics? The answer is, there is no difference. If the Democrats were smart they would simply ignore the president, and come up with a plan for greater cooperation. Instead, all we hear is Trump bashing, just like Bernie. What\u2019s the difference between \u201cDemocratic Socialism\u201d and the \u201cNational Socialism\u201d of the German Nazi party? My guess is, not much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Donald Trump will go down as the most divisive politician in\nU.S. history. But if he does his job and exposes the corruption, he\u2019ll\neventually be regarded as a hero who did a really, really tough job and got not\nmuch credit for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ll see. The Democratic debate starts tonight in Miami! Will\nit be a circus, or something memorable? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The change agent, President Trump, is not yet through with his mission: to break up the old, rotting paradigm that organizes and promotes inequality, drugs and arms trafficking, and above all, human trafficking and child abuse.
