That's so interesting and makes a lot of sense. You might well have hit the nail on the head.

Thanks a lot, I truly appreciate it! Not sure it's true but as you said, it makes a lot of sense and explains some Trump paradoxes.

This most diplomatic logical analysis I have read till now. First of all, I think even we accept or not, but the world is controlled by biilionaries or mega corporations and always it will be. The point is who will be the lesser evil at the given time.

Just for the sake of example, Microsoft and Apple accuse each other of stealing technological ideas. In case of an ongoing fued, they both will try to sway people towards onself. Both are big corporations. People have two choices and they will opt for the one which will provide them with the most lucrative products.

Similar in case of DJT. What is his backing only time will tell? Till then finger crossed.

Thanks for your comment! Yeah, logical analysis is rare those days because people are much more into emotional manipulation and projection sadly.

Good point, and it seems he didn't learn. Or was it the plan? We will see I guess.

It is obvious to me that most of the MAGA are against illegal immigrants, and hence Trump and ALL his minions speaks loudly against open borders. However, i have yet to hear Trump make fun of eating Ze Bugs, or you will own nothing, or humans are packable animals, or even say WEF is an evil organization? Trump was pictured standing next Schwab saying he does a great job. Also fish lips Ivanka is currently part of WEF committee.

The total hate of Trump against fake news MUST have a twin hate of WEF, UN, NED, Soros, Clinton foundation, National review, AIPAC,....

All good points too. I raised Ivanka issue in this article too. I guess we wi know for sure when we'll see his policies.

Yeah I didn't hear Trump making fun of all of those issues. But I also didn't hear him pushing WEF policies apart from Operation Warp Speed I also mentioned, and we will also see whether he learned this lesson or not.

I hope so actually, it gives us hope, and also realistic one, and explains some contradictions surrounding Trump.

I agree. As Miri AF always says, 'if you know their name, they're in the game'. It would be cosy to think that there are noble outsiders who could challenge the hegemony of the cabal, but I really think their grip is too strong and a real outsider threat would be crushed. I agree about hoping realistically - and using any tool that's available - if I haven't got a screwdriver, I use a knife - does the job.

We indeed think in the same way! I also use knife in an absence of a screwdriver which shocks some people. But the main point it does the job!

Same! I had several weird synchronicities happen today so I asked my (part-time) astrologer daughter: something in the stars??!! As it happens, there was...something to do with Venus-Saturn in my chart. Yeah, don't ask, I have no idea!

Read Sun Tzu, then consider time travel evidence and pray for discernment!

What's exactly your point? I actually read this guy, I love Chinese philosophy.

Did you really read “This guy” The art of war is not philosophy, it is a manual on how to conduct war.

The Art of War is philosophy.

A vehicle repair manual is philosophy.

The writing on a pot noodle package is philosophy.

Philosophy is a set of systems of discernment and instruction in response to the results of that discernment.

Beep beep boop, feed me my 30 weight please.

Even art of war is philosophy in Chinese culture. And could be used not only in wars by the way but in politics too.

Thanks for a thoughtful comment and yeah I do agree that this shit had very likely been going on at least for centuries if not for millennia as you suggested.
