Turning Back the Clock


In the early 19th century, the British Tories and Whigs were practically indistinguishable from one another. "William Hazlitt compared them to two rival stagecoaches that splashed mud over each other while travelling along the same road" (Peter Ackroyd, Dominion, 5). And so it is with the Democan/Republicrat War Party in the U.S. today. In fact, much of American socio-economic and political life in the early 21st century is reminiscent of early 19th century England's--thanks to the collusion of the two major parties over the past 40 years.

Caitlin Johnstone Nails It

                                                 Once Again.

This is why the fear that Donald Trump will somehow engineer a coup to become dictator is pure fantasy. 

Trump tried that, remember? 

If he ever tries it again it will go the same way. 

And that is because the coup has already taken place. The military-industrial-complex runs the U.S. with the full cooperation of all three branches of the federal government. It doesn't need Donald Trump to seize power because it already has all the power it could ever want or need. And, as an added bonus, it never has to take responsibility for the havoc it wreaks around the world. No one is ever held to account for the millions of lives lost, maimed, and displaced. Trillions are spent with ZERO accountability. Sweet deal.
