Kunstler: He Is Risen… But For How Long?
If the first forty-eight hours are any measure of the alleged Trumptopia-to-come, the leading man in this national melodrama appears to be meshuga. A more charitable view might be that his behavior does not comport with the job description: president. If he keeps it up, I stick to my call that we will see him removed by extraordinary action within a few months. It might be a lawful continuity-of-government procedure according to the 25th Amendment — various high officials declaring him “incapacited” — or it might be a straight-up old school coup d’état (“You’re fired”).
I believe the trigger for that may be an overwhelming financial crisis in the early second quarter of the year. In, the first case, under Section 4 of the 25th Amendment, it works like this:
Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
Or else, it will be an orchestrated cabal of military and intelligence officers — not necessarily evil men — who fear for the safety of the nation with the aforesaid meshuganer in the White House, who is summarily arrested, sequestered, and replaced by an “acting president,” pending a call for an extraordinary new election to replace him by democratic means. I’m not promoting this scenario as necessarily desirable, but that’s how I think it will go down. It will be a sad moment in this country’s history, worse than the shock of John Kennedy’s assassination, which happened against the background of an economically stable Republic. History is perverse and life is tragic. And shit happens.
Returning to the first forty-eight hours of the new regime, first the ceremony itself: there was, to my mind, the disturbing sight of Donald Trump, deep in the Capitol in the grim runway leading out onto the inaugural dais. He lumbered along, so conspicuously alone between the praetorian ranks front and back, overcoat open, that long red slash of necktie dangling ominously, with a mad gleam in his eyes like an old bull being led out to a sacrificial altar. His speech to the multitudes was not exactly what had once passed for presidential oratory. It was not an “address.” It was blunt, direct, unadorned, and simple, a warning to the assembled luminaries meant to prepare them for disempowerment. Surely it was received by many as a threat.
Indeed an awful lot of official behavior has to change if this country expects to carry on as a civilized polity, and Trump’s plain statement was at face value consistent with that idea. But the disassembly of such a vast matrix of rackets is unlikely to be managed without generating a lot of dangerous friction. Such a tall order would require, at least, some finesse. Virtually all the powers of the Deep State are arrayed against him, and he can’t resist taunting them, a dangerous game. Despite the show of an orderly transition, a state of war exists between them. Anyway, given Trump’s cabinet appointments, his “swamp draining” campaign looks like one set of rackets is due to be replaced by a new and perhaps worse set.
Trump was correct that the ruins of industry stand like tombstones on the landscape. The reality may be that an industrial economy is a one-shot deal. When it’s gone, it’s over. Even assuming the money exists to rebuild the factories of the 20th century, how would things be produced in them? By robotics or by brawny men paid $15-an-hour? If it’s robotics, who will the customers be? If it’s low-wage workers, how are they going to pay for the cars and washing machines? If the brawny men are paid $40 an hour, how would we sell our cars and washing machines in foreign markets that pay their workers the equivalent of $1.50 an hour. How can American industry stay afloat with no export market? If we don’t let foreign products into the US, how will Americans buy cars that are far more costly to make here than the products we’ve been getting? There’s no indication that Trump and his people have thought through any of this.
Trump can pull out the stops (literally, the regulations) to promote oil production, but he can’t alter the declining energy return on investment that is bringing down the curtain on industrial society. In fact, pumping more oil now at all costs will only hasten the decline of affordable oil. His oft-stated wish to simply “take” the oil from Middle Eastern countries would probably lead to sabotage of their oil infrastructure and the cruel death of millions. He would do better to prepare Americans for the project of de-suburbanizing the nation, but I doubt that the concept has ever entered his mind.
The problems with Obamacare, and so-called health care generally, are burdened with so many layers of arrant racketeering that the system may only be fixable if it is destroyed in its current form — the overgrown centralized hospitals, the overpaid insurance and hospital executives, the sore-beset physicians carrying six-figure college-and-med-school loans, the incomprehensible and extortionate pricing system for care, the cruel and insulting bureaucratic barriers to obtain care, the disgraceful behavior of the pharmaceutical companies, all add up to something no less than a colossal hostage racket, robbing and swindling people at their most vulnerable. So far, nobody has advanced a coherent plan for changing it. Loosing the Department of Justice to prosecute the medical racketeers directly would be a good start. Overcharging and defrauding sick people ought to be a criminal act. But don’t expect that to happen in a culture where anything goes and nothing matters. A financial crisis could be the trigger for ending the massive medical grift machine. Then what? Back to locally organized clinic-scale medicine… if we should be so lucky.
Saturday afternoon, Trump paid a call at CIA headquarters, ostensibly to begin mending fences with what may be his domestic arch-enemies. What did he do? He peeved and pouted about press reports of the lowish attendance at his swearing in. Maximum meshuga. I’m surprised that some veteran of The Company’s Suriname outpost didn’t take him out with a blowgun dart garnished with the toxic secretions of tree frogs.
Do you suppose Trump is going to improve? That was the hope after the election: that he’d take on some POTUS polish. No, what you see is what you get. I can only imagine that what’s going on behind the scenes in various halls of power would make a Matt Damon Bourne movie look like a sensitivity training session — grave professional men and women on all fours with their hair on fire howling into the acoustical ceiling tiles.
Don’t forget that it was the dismal failure of Democratic “progressive” politics that gave us Trump. His infantile lies and foolish tweets were made possible by a mendacious political culture that excuses illegal immigrants as “the undocumented,” refuses to identify radical Islamic terror by name, shuts down free speech on campus, made Michael Brown of Ferguson a secular saint, claims that there’s no biological basis for gender, and allowed Wall Street to pound the American middle class down a rat hole like so much sand.
You think this is the dark night of the national soul? The sun only went down a few minutes ago and it’s a long hard slog to daybreak.

Mr. Kunstler preparing the ground for a removal of Trump, the hard way.
I believe the trigger for that may be an overwhelming financial crisis in the early second quarter of the year.
You couldn’t possibly blame such an eventuality on Trump, right?
Or else, it will be an orchestrated cabal of military and intelligence officers — not necessarily evil men — who fear for the safety of the nation with the aforesaid meshuganer in the White House, who is summarily arrested, sequestered, and replaced by an “acting president,” pending a call for an extraordinary new election to replace him by democratic means.
Translation: the removal of Trump would be a justified act.
I’m not promoting this scenario as necessarily desirable
Yes you do, liar. You use the tribal word meshuga three times to disqualify Trump.
but that’s how I think it will go down.
That’s what you hope. But be careful with what you wish for, at some point even Americans could develop an attitude and this nation is armed to the teeth. You seriously think that a coup will be left unanswered in a country were 95% of the 3000 counties voted for Trump?
It will be a sad moment in this country’s history, worse than the shock of John Kennedy’s assassination, which happened against the background of an economically stable Republic.
That was another hit the tribe organized. The country might have been stable, but Camelot ventured to dethrone the tribe and the global mafia responded ruthlessly. And that is what they would like to do again with this blonde troublemaker.

The “ruthless conspiracy” speech that got JFK killed. Still any doubt about what or who JFK meant with the “ruthless conspiracy”?

Perverse mainly because a certain group has way too much power.
Virtually all the powers of the Deep State are arrayed against him
Wonder who that is, the “Deep State”.
His oft-stated wish to simply “take” the oil from Middle Eastern countries would probably lead to sabotage of their oil infrastructure and the cruel death of millions.
That was indeed a stupid immoral remark, but I bet mr Kunstler, that when Paul Wolfowitz proposed essentially the same thing by making Iraq pay with oil for the privilege of being invaded by the US on false charges, you didn’t give a peep, right? Tribal thingy.
I’m surprised that some veteran of The Company’s Suriname outpost didn’t take him out with a blowgun dart garnished with the toxic secretions of tree frogs.
Another incitement of murder.
Tonight on German television:
http://www.pi-news.net/2017/01/joffe-zeit-ruft-zum-mord-im-weissen-haus-auf/#more-552000
At 1:17 a Joseph Joffe, the publisher of the #1 weekly political magazine Die Zeit and yes, he is also part of the cabal, openly suggests that a murder in the White House could solve a lot problems.
The gloves are off. There are hundreds of millions of fire arms in the US. Are you sure mr Kunstler, that you want to set that train in motion? Don’t you know that the 20th century is over?
You folks lost the USSR between 1938-1953. And now you are going to lose the US. Be prepared for another Spain-1492.

The only reason that Trump became president is because the news media fawned over him when he announced his candidacy. Every time he opened his mouth it was played over and over again and the other sixteen candidates had to scramble to get any air time.
When he spoke of building walls and bringing jobs back it resonated with a broad segment of the American public who were tired of BAU. Had all of the other candidates received the same coverage it is highly unlikely that Trump would have won the Republican nomination. And if Hillary had listened to the Bernie campaign and actively campaigned in key battle ground states it is more than likely she would have won. She ran a lethargic campaign based on the assumption that she was entitled to the office and her loyal vassals would flock to the polls and make her our first female POTUS. Oh will, we can speculate all we want, but we do have a commander-in-tweet who has proven in the first three days that he is unpredictable.

Trump has some good sentiments, a true patron of western civilisation. But he is clearly politically inexperienced, hence the gaffs and blunt policies.
However, he is part of a larger team and now has access to some of the best economic and scientific advisors on Earth. He is also an exceptionally driven individual who built up a billion dollar business through hard work. My guess is that after some early teething problems, he will turn out to be a great president and may be remembered alongside the likes of Roosevelt and Eisenhower.

“Trump is a jerk, exactly what is needed in snake pit Washington”. Exactly Clog, this is true for the world. Things are going to happen now and many are not going to be nice. This is how change happens so Trump whiners get used to it. You can’t have your cake and eat it. You guys were whining about change well here you go. If you are in a catch 22 trap of no good outcomes how is change going to be good. We may get out of this like a dog who chews his foot off. We are not getting out of this whole and Trump will be the steel jaws of a trap in this regards.
You can’t take on the establishment and status quo economy and not have negative consequences. If Trump is allowed to stay in power much longer the changes will be permanent. The people are now energized and once the hornets’ nest has been kicked you are not going to manage that swarm. The hopeful positive of this is change has to happen to knock us out of the rut that is a direction of complete failure. Complete failure is still a risk but it is possible a new outcome of a world of less affluence will orientate differently and our slide into collapse will be less harsh and happen over a longer time frame. It is only in crisis there will be change and we still have time to adapt to what is ahead. What is ahead is a mean world of less on a destroyed planet with a hostile climate. We need to be ready for this and to be made ready is what a crisis of less will do. We need to begin the preparations for a die off process but slowly not all at once.
I may be crazy. This kind of talk is not for the kids. It is messy and mean but this is a dose of reality I am grasping at. Tell me this world is sane and the direction we are going in honest. We are so far into delusion we are comical. We watch TV with the pretty commercials of happy people as the bottom is falling out of our world. We have a world of gross inequality and still adding people. We tell ourselves it will get better in a hopium stupor. We deserve what we are getting in a way as a species. It is ecological judgment for being an evolutionary dead end of a big brain and a weak spirit. As individuals this is not the case for those who were born into nothing. They suffer in tragic innocence of being little more than animals. It is the elites and the educated that deserve this. They were gifted the opportunity for wisdom but chose the alternative instead.

The entire US drama in a nutshell. The US is divided to the core over the question what the future of the country should be:
1. a country with a dominant European character and substantial minorities (Trump-Reps)
2. total enforced racial integration and equality and explicitly abandoning the European character of the country (Dems party & Reps establishment)
What happened in November 2016 was truly exceptional. I’m not aware of another US billionaire who has the resources and “stamina” to pull off a similar stunt as Trump did, after Trump will be gone (perhaps one of his children will take over with dads resources).
If Trump goes, somewhere between next month or in eight years, the most likely scenario is that the Dems will takeover for ever and ensure that a “Trump-accident” will never happen again.
If that is the general picture, than it is not difficult to predict how rural America is going to react.
Hundreds of millions from the third world would love to live in America.
So far, since 1965, white Americans have pretended to actually like that development (in their hearts they never did), but the media ensured that no real debate about this issue was possible (“beyond the pale”).
In November 2016 they finally openly admitted they didn’t like the way their country was developing. Expect that a lot of thought has been made in “rural America” about the future of the US after Trump and that a split will be inevitable for those who refuse to live in a “racial-communist” state.

Clogo, here’s your precious Euro culture exposed.
“‘European culture’ is an invented tradition”
“The idea of a coherent European culture is actually quite new. Scattered uses of the phrase appeared in the 19th century, but it was only in the 1920s and ’30s that the idea came of age. Those decades saw an unprecedented burst of attention for the idea of Europe, in which the age’s leading liberal intellectuals developed a compelling vision of the continent’s purportedly shared cultural identity. Influentially, Valéry cast Europe as a shared, intangible inheritance, rooted in ‘a desire for understanding and exchange’ among its nations.”
“For all of its optimistic rhetoric, it was fear that birthed this vision of European culture. The First World War, and the economic and political chaos that followed, led to a new call for European unity. By coming together politically and economically, supporters insisted, Europeans could avoid another catastrophic war and defend their primacy in the world. For Europe’s bourgeois intelligentsia, European unity presented an essentially moral or spiritual problem. The Great War had included a searing propaganda battle, in which French and British intellectuals cast out a ‘barbarian’ Germany from the community of civilised nations. Germany’s cultural elite responded by embracing the specificity of Germany’s virtuous Kultur against a supposedly decadent and vacuous West. As the German sociologist Georg Simmel declared in 1917: ‘The spiritual entity that we called Europe has been destroyed and it is unlikely to be rebuilt.’”

But the USSR is history and the US empire is walking on its last legs and Russia wants to become a European country.
And actually, now that the Americans finally begin to grasp what diversity really means in practice… and begin to panic, expect them to rediscover their European identities, now that they have to share their “American identity” with all sorts of adventurous “I-wannabee-American-too” ethnicity’s from all corners of the globe.
What’s next on the program is the overthrow of the 1968-smallest generation, the Greater-European North-American land grab after the departure of Trump and subsequent implosion of order and finally the military confrontation with Islam on European soil and the destruction of modern and Christian values in favor of “neo-Romanism”.

clogo, apparently Chrystia Freeland was banned from Russia 3 years ago. 2 years before she became a political servant. Expelled for being critical of Putin in her job as a reporter. Do they expel foreign journalists in Holland if their are critical of your politicians? How about Germany or the UK? The US? Canada? Maybe she was onto something and it ascareded big bad Vlad? Scared of a little girl -baha. I never heard of her and she would not be a relation of mine since no one in my family was born in the Ukraine. SO she is from Ukrainian descendants, so fucking what if she was born and raised in Canada then she is Canadian. Do you know that many white Americans have sub Sahara African DNA (slave) and American Indian DNA too. Some have both, yet are as white as a ghost. You don’t see them with a bone in their nose or on the war path do you? Their lives and beliefs are shaped by their culture and that more than explains Chrystia Freeland anti Russian stance. Just google Canada & cold war, do some reading and that should clarify things. The idea that someones overseas ancestry makes for some kind of revelation is just more alarmism from a fucking ALEX JONES believing retard from Holland. Hey clog, is ALEX FUCKING JONES part of that high European culture you are always going on about? Do all the Euro sophicates tune in to his LOUD web casts? Again with the black & white contradictions eh? I’m sure there is a portrait of ALEX in the Louvre and other Euro fine arts museum too.
Anyway, none of this shit going down in the world is any of your business as far as I see it. See, regardless of the moral implications of who did what to whom and which country is the most evil and who started what the fact remains that the world today was shaped by the last century and most specifically by the two world wars. Two deciding wars that Holland chose not participate in. So why should you get to weigh in? Money, blood and lives is the price of admission to sit at the table and have a say and your country declined to participate both times. Your constant judgement on everything is a fucking joke to me. Y’all hid in the closet when the fighting and dying needed to be done and once it was done you think you can just step out and tell everyone what’s what? I don’t think so. I think you should shut the fuck up and go back in the closet. There will be more fighting soon enough, so you’ll be back in the closet anyway – screaming “WE’RE NEUTRAL! WE’RE NEUTRAL!” all the way.

“But in another sense the change of command is no change at all, because all that ever happens is that one bunch of psychopaths is swapped for another bunch of psychopaths. Thanks to a multigenerational selective breeding experiment, the upper echelons of all the social machines in the United States—be they corporations, the courts, government agencies or other bureaucracies—are stocked with psychopaths.

The media is in a fit over Trump. The plan is being followed exactly. China is the elephant in the room. People voted for Trump because he promised to break the existing system, dont be suprised if thats exactly what he does. The real cost of the Obama years is written as $19.9 trillion, does anyone seriously think Trump can turn that around? As soon as they reduce government spending, the US will be plunged into the abyss again. Why? The US is a consumer society, not a productive one. People produce enough wealth to justify the consumption, so the government has been subsidising it with tax cuts and spending since 2008. On this Trump is just putting Obamas policies on steriods.
