MEMO TO THE PRESIDENT: WILL YOU BE A ROY MOORE OR WILL YOU BE A JEB BUSH?
"But more important for the donors who put up the money and the corporatists who put up the money your day of reckoning's coming too.... the corporatist, donor, consultant, K Street, lobbyist, influence peddler, politician class, Washington DC. Seven of the nine richest counties in the country surround it.....Its a business model that works, cause every year they get to spend 4.2 trillion dollars of your money that's going to be a burden on your kids and grandkids and great grandkids....they know the price of everything but the value of nothing'."
Steve Bannon speaks at Roy Moore rally on September 25th, 2017
There it is, the truth about our political system. The corporatists Bannon describes are part of what Nigel Farage has defined as a corporatist system-the combining of big banks, big business and big government into one.
Peter Hitchens has described multinational corporations as "more powerful than sovereign governments".
But I thought our political system was about "Democrats versus Republicans", "Right versus Left"?
To a lot of people it is. I used to think it was but the notion of big business conspiracy always lurked there and for a while I thought the big banks and big business were pro-Communist when the "Cold War" was going on. The notions of Robert Welch and the John Birch Society seemed to be right.
But those ideas faded as Ronald Reagan was president and the Soviet Union began to die out.
Its taken time for the dust to settle and for a harsh realization that conservative plans for smaller government I expected from Republicans were not going to happen.
Why?
Because big corporations need a welfare state to spare them the burden of paying higher wages and more benefits to employees. But the system works for them only if they don't pay the bill for it and someone else does.
Now we come to "Climate Change". They say Steve Bannon was influential in getting you to get the United States out of the Paris Accord. And good for Bannon.
What Paris will mean for our northern neighbors in Canada are massive new taxes on utility bills to "save the planet" but all that extra money will fill the welfare state coffers while allowing business to have 'carbon credits' and continue to enjoy the low 15 percent corporate tax rate.
I hope people are starting to get it, what "Climate Change" really is about. The emotions of our liberal friends about the environment are manipulated and the Democrats push through a scheme that taxes little people's utility bills while giving big corporations "carbon credits" for their carbon emissions.
The Democrats are bought and paid for by big business to benefit them while suckering Progressive-Left voters.
And the Republicans argue that it needs modification while others say "Climate Change" is real because they too are bought by big corporations, others denounce "Climate Change" but don't act to reverse the Paris Accord. But Bannon gets it and they say he got you to back away from Paris.
Of course the biggest corporatist scheme that your election election threatened was the importation of cheap labor into the USA under the banner of "immigration" legal or illegal.
The more people you add to the workforce, the less you have to pay them. Its simple as that.
The sucker bait for Conservatives from the GOP Establishment that wants to protect its big business donors is "border security".
Behind "border security" is the entrance of cheap labor through visas with "H1" designations, many of the younger DACA entrants joining the workforce etc. etc. That's the back door RINO Democrat Uniparty Corporatist way.
Please get the wall built but also shut off the valve of cheap labor entering this country through the back door. Roy Moore spoke during his debate with Luther Strange about getting the Army down on the border as a stopgap for now. That's in idea to implement.
Another thing Judge Roy Moore brought up during his campaign was the notion of a balanced budget speaking positively of Senator Rand Paul's notion of balancing it.
Paul Ryan leads the way constantly raising our national debt ceiling to keep the business and banking community happy with an expensive welfare state and a financial burden passed onto future generations.
Members of the your cabinet like Tom Price, now resigned from HHS, and Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke are among those who have voted to make Paul Ryan Speaker of the House. Supporting Ryan is just plain unacceptable. For constantly driving our country into debt, Ryan should be considered as disloyal to his country as some NFL player or owner kneeling during the national anthem.
I don't see how Price and Zinke's appointments among others were ever consistent with a promise to "drain the swamp" in Washington.
The Corporatists need big government spending and debt to take the burden off their backs for taking care of low wage workers in the country. In healthcare, the Obamacare "markets" are a scheme to take the burden of health care coverage off their backs.
Corporatists are linked into professional sports like those billionaire NFL owners you've butted heads with this week.
Back in 2014 the NFL was pressuring Arizona to back away from a religious freedom law to protect people who dissent from gay marriage. Sure enough back then Governor Jan Brewer vetoed the bill.
Other states had religious freedom bills and backed off under big business pressure like Indiana where then Governor Mike Pence (you may know him) backed down.
America should be a country where religious people who have convictions about sex and marriage shouldn't lose their jobs or businesses because of those convictions. Its what our founders would have wanted.
But the Corporatists have another idea and I see Republicans backing down in the face of the pressure.
Good news came the day of the special election in Alabama with Tennessee Senator Bob Corker's decision not to run for re-election. Corker is the man who put Boeing and Airbus ahead of his own country's best interests and the interests of Israel working in concert with Barack Obama on the Iran nuclear deal.
Glenn Beck has expressed his concerns that Steve Bannon is trying to destroy the Republican Party in the aftermath of Judge Moore's victory in Alabama with plans to promote challengers to Republican incumbents in other states and anti-establishment GOP candidates in general.
Beck focused on Ted Cruz obsessively early last year and I guess Glenn's decision to stop Trump was a decision to help the Republican Establishment rather than oppose it.
Glenn should consider this. Conservatives of all stripes, fiscal ones, social ones, immigration ones and the list goes on have watched over the decades as the Republican Party has made promises and failed to deliver.
Last century, African-Americans listened to promises from the Democrat Party about "civil rights" and saw no delivery of improvement in the race situation in this country
This led to Dr, Martin Luther King's efforts in the early 1960's that culminated May 2nd and 3rd, 1963 in Birmingham with six and seven year old children distracting Bull Connors cops so adults could break through police lines. Then an enraged Connor unleashed dogs and water cannon on teenage protesters and shot off his mouth on nationwide television igniting a national racial rebellion.
This massive outpouring of protest cooled by JFK's death posed a direct threat to Democrat Party unity, a threat to the Kennedy Administration's political future. MLK became an enemy who threatened to destroy the Democrat Party, actually being called a "despicable man" by President Kennedy's widow in a January 1964 audio interview.
Well, I guess that puts Steve Bannon in the company of someone Glenn Beck expressed great admiration for. At least Bannon still works inside the electoral process but others think more needs to be done.
When Ammon Bundy decided to take a stand in Oregon that was portrayed as some violent rebellion back in January 2016 (the jury found him "Not Guilty") Beck walked away and put the political game and stopping your candidacy, the candidacy of Donald J. Trump first. In fact you too walked away from this matter saying the protesters should stop.
The wrongs of big government that get bigger from deeper debt to the wrongs done to farmers and ranchers out West by its crushing power should be front and center issues of "We the People" saying "No More".
Instead the Jeff Sessions endorsed prosecutor in Nevada continues to pursue kangaroo court trials with the connivance of a judge. Trials where self-defense or the defense of others among many others things are banned from any use by the defendants and their lawyers.
Mr. President, you need to pardon many people associated with the Bunkerville case and you need to pardon the Oregon ranchers who's cause Ammon Bundy took up last year (Dwight and Steven Hammond).
Now the punchline so to speak.
In 2005 Jeb Bush failed to save the life of Terri Schiavo in Florida. Some local judge issued her death sentence. His supporters have argued this over the years with a favorite defense being: "Do you want him to lose his job?"
Consider Judge Roy Moore, who stood up for what he believed in not going along with federal court orders twice and being removed from his job twice.
Well, there's your choice, are you ready to implement the agenda you were elected to implement and take risks listening to "We the People" out here and answer concerns mentioned here and others beyond them with some meaningful action that really changes things.
I understand President Richard Nixon first suggested that you run for the office of President of the United States.
Mr. Nixon's "law and order" speeches and those of his subordinates like Vice President Spiro Agnew against biased media in this country distracted the grassroots voters while liberal policies were implemented including the establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency and OSHA.
Do not repeat the mistakes of past Republican presidents.
The political system is failing because its about two parties doing the same thing to please big business and big banks. The only option is real change that will offend and cause those powerful forces to consider your removal from office at the very least.
Otherwise we have to consider what Dr. Martin Luther King had to do as an option to stop the insanity leading this nation to ruin.
