Special Opinion to th Mirror by Chas Cornweller
The fight for the soul of Democracy, the heart of America, has come to this…the normalization of President Trump his methods by which he has come to try and win the hearts and minds of the citizens of America. This clash of wills is NOT between the ideals of the Left and the ideas of the Far Right. This battle is for the soul of middle America, the hard working, blue collared, down in the trenches, working pay check to pay check American who pay their taxes and tithes and have a true stake in the positioning of the United States today. Unfortunately, the weapons being used are so foreign to the ideals and thinking of the average American, they are unrecognizable as being a form of weaponization in the first place. By that I mean, most Americans are blind to the fact that they are being manipulated by the very battle that rages daily from our media sources.
That moment our leader or any leader for that matter disparages the very sources the American public relies on for its information, and its security and justice, then we have arrived at the slippery slope and the beginning of a downward fall. Our president began the alienation of the press (fake news/lying reporters) long ago. And he has disparaged our military (I know more than our generals/I know better than they on how to defeat ISIS) and our justice system (Corrupt FBI/Disparaged CIA and the Attorney General and by proxy, the Justice Department). The very moment the president relays his lack of faith in the system to his public, that system is set up to fail. Now, you know the system of which I am talking about. That system our fore-fathers had wisely set in place as a Checks and Balance on each other and on that system, itself. So, either Donald Trump is that lone voice in the wilderness calling out the system is corrupt and rotten to the core, or Donald J. Trump has something nefarious going on. It cannot be both. OR the third leg of this chair could very well be this…the presidency and all of his backers and supporters (not you middle America – you have no power) and those cronies that now hold him up, are vying for a destabilized American system (remember checks and balance) to replace it with a more powerful centralized government. A system run on propaganda, falsehoods, red herrings, division, mistrust, and obedience. A system characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and ultimate control of industry and commerce. One that believes in the elimination of the liberal democracy replaced by a rule of law, governed by a small, all-powerful oligarchy. This is what the president has to make palatable to the American public. [Read more…]
