Pro, I'd like to respond to that aspect of your post which relates to the division within the United States from a political and economical perspective. I will preface my writings with the understanding and acceptance that the division we currently observe has roots that were initially planted during the nObama administration, but the inception of the economic destruction began with Bush 1. nObama was the covert weapon of the end game operation. He was responsible with seeding the electorate soil with social and political discord which was a necessary step towards destabilizing the United States from a political, economical, and law enforcement perspective.
The United States is a divided country because those who control the narrative control the masses and they NEED it to be divided in order to carry out their agenda, however, their control and their corresponding ideology/agenda is being eroded very quickly, most notably since the election of President Trump. The election of President Trump has thrown that big picture agenda completely off the world order rails, and that is a very good development as it relates to the United States regaining economic prosperity and sovereignty. What Trumps successful 2016 election and what his 2020 landslide re-election will represent is a rediscovering of a country's national identity, specifically the United States. Tangentially, look no further than this past weeks European Union elections, which indicate a sweeping move of the electorates of Britain, Italy, Poland, France, Germany, and Austria to restore their respective countries sovereignty, and away from the scourge of multiculturalism that is a tool of the Globalists syndicate. President Trump poses an existential threat not only to those who have controlled the United States, but also those who have controlled the world stage. Quite simply, they are scared out of their elitist minds of Trump and his popularity around the world because what he represents is spreading across the globe as people awaken to the nightmarish lie they have been duped into believing.
What is the agenda of those who have been in control of governments and economics? It is to move the United States from a Constitutional Republic form of government into a Socialist and eventual Communist state, politically and economically. The United States is not the "straw that stirs the drink" but rather it IS THE STRAW AND THE DRINK. Remake the United States and the world will fall into line. This isn't a recent development, it has been going on quietly for the last 50 plus years (post JFK) through the infiltration into governmental positions and agencies at the local, state, and federal levels by those whose agenda is to subvert government and exfiltrate wealth. nObama represented the initial stage of their "all in" moment while the final stage of their movement was pre-ordained for Killary. The election of President Trump thus signified an unexpected and abrupt halt to their takeover and pissed off a lot of people who have invested hundreds of billions and even trillions of dollars over the last 50 years. It was a GIANT PHUCK YOU to the Globalists by the American electorate.
So who are these Globalists? They are multi-national banks and multi-national corporations who have exfiltrated the wealth of the United States and moved that wealth to other parts of the world in which they had previously invested at the ground floor. By creating high corporate taxes in the United States jobs were cut and factories were shuttered and moved into those countries where it was cheaper to do business, (and make more profit and where the Globalists had already an economic bet and footprint). Through unbalanced, negative dollar return trade agreements into the hundreds of billions of dollars per annum (TPP, NAFTA, EU, WTO) large sums of money that would have remained within United States borders made their way into other chosen countries who were part of those trade agreements and organizations. Not surprisingly and as a direct result, the United States middle class was destroyed. President Trump is reversing those policies with "Protectionist" trade policy and the United States is once again prospering economically and will continue to do so....unless they can remove him, which directly leads to and partly explains the "Russia" meddled in the election nonsense. And it IS 100% fictitious. There are other aspects of the "Russia collusion" myth but is not germane to the initial point of this post, so I will skip commentary for the sake of brevity.
How do the Globalists remove him? By engineering and controlling a narrative that has no basis in facts or reality, and it doesn't have to be, because within the Globalist cabal is the tool by which the masses of sheep (undereducated and indoctrinated, programmed non-thinkers) are controlled. Does the German Ministry of Propaganda ring a bell? Tell a big enough lie over and over and those undereducated and indoctrinated, programmed non-thinkers will believe it. The amusing aspect of that is they, in the words of avowed Communist John Brennan, have "no awareness" of the lie they have believed. I almost pity them, almost. What is that tool in the Globalist tool-box to brainwash the masses with propaganda? Easily guessed, the media, in which over 90% of ALL print, radio, TV are owned by 6 multi-national corporations, who are Globalists. Their agenda is antithetical to the policies of President Trump and the restoration of economic prosperity for its citizens. In understanding this dichotomy a reasonable person would logically draw a connection to the overwhelming negative press coverage (over 95%) of the president since his election and be able to understand the big lie being transmitted ad infinitum. One has to recall that Trump, before he became President Trump, was accepted, lauded, and revered by the Liberal Left and Globalists. Reasoning further one would have to ask just what has caused the 180 degree shift in the medias negative biased coverage of President Trump? In my opinion, it is the "reorganization" of economic principles that benefit the whole, and not just the elite, with a laser focus on that very prosperity taking place WITHIN the borders of the United States and beneficial to those who are most easily controlled.
Within the United States the politicians of both parties, with very few exceptions, are controlled by multi-national corporations and multi-national banks through lobbyists working on behalf of Globalists, to the detriment of the American economy and worker. More specifically, it is the United States Chamber of Commerce, currently led by the unethical bought and paid for Tom Donahue, who have corrupted the Legislative Branch of government with bribes and graft, at the expense of American citizens.
There is another layer who control the media driven narrative, but that layer doesn't have as much to do with economics as it does with the controlling of power. That layer is characteristic of what many have come to know as the "Deep State or Administrative State" of bureaucrats who operate within the existing government structure(s) of the United States and who dictate media narrative/talking points. You'll know you are hearing it when you hear either media and/or politicians repeating the same phrases or using the same messaging. For instance if you are paying attention these words or phrases as it relates to President Trump should be easily recognizable, "White Nationalist" "Dictator" "Authoritarian" and the "beginning of the end" or "the walls are closing in" and so on. These are C EYE A Mockingbird driven talking points dictated to the media to repeat over and over to brainwash viewers, but it's all 100% pure unadulterated bu115hit and propaganda. The careerist ideologues that form the "Shadow Government" use Legislatively allowed programs and laws (gathering of ALL electronic data on every individual in the United States, whether legally or illegally through the Patriot Act) that were meant to protect and secure our nation. They use these programs to extort and blackmail/control those (politicians) who are not on board with their agenda. It has long been "rumored" that nObama used information illegally gathered to blackmail Justice John Roberts (adopted 2 kids from Ireland illegally) to reverse his decision of the Individual Mandate.
This layer is for another post as this one is already very long, but it is of importance because their goals are aligned with the Globalists, but not necessarily for the same reasons. In closing, there is a multitude of information out there that one can research if one is willing to put the time in. Most don't due to work and raising of families and just perhaps because people just don't want to get outside of their preconditioned belief system. For those that do, a whole new level of understanding can be achieved. Good luck to ya!
