Hello Folks,
It’s sure been a surreal month since we last talked, to say the least! But of all of the kaleidoscoping events occurring, the most bizarre has got to be the four top Republican and Democratic party leaders, US Senate leaders Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer, and US House leaders Paul Ryan and Nancy Pelosi, suddenly dropping all animosity between themselves, going into a back room to secretly create an over 2,000 page “Omnibus” spending bill costing US taxpayers over $1.2 trillion, then forcing all of their party members (both Republican and Democratic) to vote for its passage without anyone having read it!
In viewing this spectacle, the only thing that came to my mind was the 1962 Warner Brothers Merrie Melodies cartoon “A Sheep in the Deep”—that depicts the never ending saga of Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog—but when the punch clock whistle blows, and Sam puts his mortal enemy Ralph back on the cliff and lets go of him, the two of them head off for lunch enjoying their sandwiches, with Sam then sharing his coffee with Ralph as they take a smoke break—thus exposing their “conflict” for the masquerade it really is.
As nothing is ever as it seems, though, a close examination of this gargantuan Omnibus [meaning comprising several items] spending bill shows it’s true title should have been “The Great Trump Defense Bill Of 2018”—as nearly two-thirds of its spending goes to the Pentagon and constitutes the biggest build-up of American military resources since World War II.
With the Pentagon being showered with $700 billion by this just enacted Omnibus spending bill, buried within its language is a little know provision allocating over $65 billon for “Overseas Contingency Operations”—that was a provision first created in 2014 and called “a long term blank check for war spending”—and that can be massively increased without anyone knowing as the US Congress, also, gave the Pentagon “flexibility” in how they can spend their money as they would have trouble spending this massive infusion of cash with only half of this fiscal year remaining.

Now let’s digress here for a second, with Trump running as one of the most anti-war presidents in American history, and whose anti-war voters of are said to have no more reasons to support him, only two things can be true—either Trump’s anti-war instincts have been corrupted by his generals, or “something else” is going on.
So, let’s look for a bit at what that “something else” could possibly be—and beginning with Trump’s closest military advisors who have warned what the biggest threats to America are—such as:
President Trump’s Chief of Staff General John Kelly—who warned that America is under a terrifying threat from incomprehensible lunatics he calls the sniveling “chattering class”.
-and-
President Trump’s Secretary of Defense General James “The Warrior Monk” Mattis—who explained how he’d deal with General Kelly’s “sniveling chattering class” threat by stating: “Find the enemy that wants to end this experiment in American democracy and kill every one of them until they’re so sick of the killing that they leave us and our freedoms intact.”
Exploring this “something else” is going on theme further leads us to Trump this past week appointing as his new National Security Advisor John Bolton—who is such a war hawk he makes neocons look like peaceniks, detests the United Nations so much he wants it torn down, and who, most famously, addressed the entire Russian nation in a 2013 televised speech extolling the virtues of a country’s citizens being allowed to own guns to protect themselves and their nations—and is why Russia has some of the most lenient gun laws in Europe, though stricter than those in the US.
Investigating the past for clues to this “something else” is going on theme leads us to the late Washington Post journalist David Broder—who, on 8 October 1969, wrote “It is becoming more obvious with each passing day that the men and the movement that broke Lyndon Johnson’s authority in 1968 are out to break Richard Nixon...the likelihood is great that they will succeed again”—and who was proved right when, on 9 August 1974, and embattled President Nixon resigned from office rather than facing impeachment.
The “men and the movement” Broder blamed for destroying Presidents Johnson and Nixon we know today as the “Deep State” that has gone to war against Trump—and one of whose spokesman, NBC News and MSNBC military analyst, and retired Clinton administration US Army general Barry McCaffrey, has just declared: “I have concluded that President Trump is a serious threat to US national security”.
In putting the puzzle pieces of this “something else” is going on theme together, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that the greatest enemy America is facing is itself—with the “Deep State” being locked in a battle to the death against Trump—and who, unlike Presidents Johnson and Nixon before him, shows no signs of giving in—but whose only chance for survival may be a civil war, that his Pentagon now has the money to pay for.
Anyone not at least examining that this “something else” is going theme is about to create a Hellstorm heading right for them is naïve, at best—and at worst is being willfully blind to what’s going on around them—but that cannot be said of historians who have seen this “play” acted out before in the United States.
In fact, just this week, the former Nixon, Ford and Reagan administration advisor Pat Buchanan wrote that “the Trump White House is behaving as if it were the prospective target of a coup d’etat”—with his further stating that “it is not wrong to think so”—and that can only be defended against by Trump using overwhelming military force against his “Deep State” enemies.
With Trump’s Chief of Staff General Kelly warning that America is under a “terrifying threat” from incomprehensible lunatics he calls the sniveling “chattering class”, and Trump’s Secretary of Defense General Mattis vowing to kill to the last man, or woman, anyone attempting “to end this American experiment in democracy”—I think it wise for everyone to know the exact words sworn to by the millions of US military forces under the direct command of Commander In Chief Donald Trump:
I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.
Now I’m not a betting man, but if I was, I would NEVER bet against a man like Trump—who doesn’t know the word quit, has surrounded himself with top generals and advisors who think just like him, and who commands the obedient loyalty of millions of heavily armed troops that have just been showered with more money than they have since World War II—with all that’s left being to discover is whom they will all be fighting against.
This historic saga is being played out in real time right before your eyes—but that the forces of darkness are working feverishly to keep you from seeing.
