Barack Obama, when he was campaigning for President, said that he was going to “fundamentally transform America”, and he did, he boarded the ship of state, took hold of her helm, swung it far to the Left and held it there for eight years.
In that time, homosexual parades of naked men became common on the main streets of our cities, while the economy cratered, homeless encampments of drug addicts grew, the streets became open toilets, our colleges became centers for Leftist demonstrations and our children were encouraged to have their genitals mutilated.
Purely due to overconfidence in their ability to steal the votes, Donald Trump became President, but his attempts to reverse course were stymied at every turn by not just the openly Left but also his own party and even almost everyone in his cabinet that he himself appointed. Not to be outdone again, the Left made sure that he lost re-election and their puppet Joe Biden was installed as the front man while they swung the helm Left again for another four years.
Now the mystery begins. Donald Trump ran for President again and this time he was easily elected. No doubt there was vote stealing by the Left but the effort was minimal. They could have stolen the election again, but chose instead to let Nature take it’s course and allow an honest, more or less, election.
The assumption is that there was a power shift among those who actually run most of the world because what they had been trying wasn’t working out well and it was time to let the rudder swing back more to the Right and try a different Fundamental Change.
This may be due to the radical shift that Western Europe has taken, with citizen freedoms being radically curtailed, people thrown into prisons for expressing their opinions, teachers fired for refusing to use students “preferred pronouns” and so on. In France, Pres. Macron has had rival candidate Marine Le Pen imprisoned and barred from public office, in a clear move to establish himself as Dictator of France. Crime in Europe is out of hand, with knifings, child rapes and mass murders by fast moving vehicles becoming commonplace along with thefts and assaults.
The European Union, which started out as an economic cooperative bloc, has transformed itself into a de facto government over its member states. Europe is a mess and the USA was following directly in its footsteps.
Not anymore. The fundamental changes now occurring in the US are actually staggering compared to what Obama caused. The entire structure of government is being overhauled, major bureaus are being shut down or drastically reduced in size, government spending is being audited and waste is being almost brutally cut off. The entire bureaucracy is being disassembled. Memberships in international organizations like the WHO and treaties like the Paris Accords have been cancelled, a massive tariff system has been installed, the IRS, FBI, CIA, USAID, all are being audited and fully or partially dismantled and/or defunded.
Our supposed allies and our enemies, both, are being threatened with everything from economic disaster to bombs, to stop their raids on our treasury or their terrorist attacks, depending.
And this time around, the Uniparty is acting like two separate political parties again, Trump’s cabinet so far has not stabbed him in the back, or at least there’s been no reporting of it that I’ve seen, and Congress actually appears to be functioning again in a manner we used to think of as normal and proper, fifty years ago.
This isn’t just another Fundamental Transformation of the USA, not with what’s going on now with Greenland, Canada, Mexico and Ukraine and who knows what other small nations are on the menu. This is a transformation of North and Central American power and beyond. This is a re-alignment of world power. It’s a whole new balancing act.
I remember when Detente was the big global issue, when the number of nuclear armed nations increased and it became a vital issue that we all agree to refrain from attacking each other or else risk nuclear war. Now it’s money and territory instead of A-Bombs, it looks like nations may start consolidating again, absorbing each other into larger economic units if they can’t do it by force. Ukraine is only an exception to this because they don’t have nukes anymore, otherwise Putin wouldn’t be spending so many lives and so much fortune trying to expand Russia’s borders.
The EU tried to become the dominant world power through economic means, and failed. China is still trying to do the same, is failing, so is trying fear and bullying, like Russia. Now the USA is trying economic means along with fear and bullying.
Whatever group is behind these changes, it’s clear that they see the US as being in the best position to win this game, or all this wouldn’t be happening now and Donald Trump would not be at the helm of it. This isn’t cut and dried, there’s internal power struggles and they’re obviously at work against the changes. Personally I would love to see some sort of certain outcome regardless of what it is, and for the turmoil in the world to finally settle down.
No wonder “living in interesting times” is considered a curse.
