I finished the video “...Rich Man’s Trick” this afternoon. Of course, I agree we take it w/salt.

1)From my readings, the military corruption was of officers. I think we see who zer0 riffed or who refused his orders and we have a start. From what I’ve read, they target guys in the academies, watch them, test them and if they rise swiftly, they are probably compromised. If they are not compromised, they never (or rarely) rise above Captain. Those who did are the ones around POTUS today.

2) Trump IS different. He made his own way into the ranks of the ultra-rich by actually creating things. He spent years being a notorious playboy. He was one of them. He saw things. I’m sure he was approached. If they had him, we’d never hear all the negatives and he would have been able to run as a donk. He definitely freaks them out.

One clue: he does not have a handler. Reagan had Bush. They still talked smack about him, but then, he also did things like amnesty.

The stories of the JFK assassination show people who are not smart. But so much was at stake, they went for overkill. JFK wasn’t that great a POTUS, he was a womanizer, plus, he was on meds and in braces. His father was dirty. His friends were dirty. They figured they had him contained. Johnson’s ambitions and venality made them comfortable. Kennedy was manipulated into Vietnam partly by his solidarity with a fellow Catholic leader. Kennedy was only going to expose the CIA and the secret societies. As Q keeps telling us: These people are stupid. But, they are also desperate. What if Trump ends war? What if Trump ends easy drug running? What if he manages to end the surveillance state?

The one revelation I got from the video was the answer to why import these Muslims? For those who haven’t watched, the answer is to inject an element of fear into our societies to justify surveillance and curtailment of freedoms.

Thing is, Trump isn’t going to kill them all....there’s too many and no one has the stomach for wholesale executions. We don’t get to do a once and done with this crowd. They may go to ground for a bit, but they’ll plot and meddle as much as possible and will be even more dangerous when hidden.

Confiscate away, but all of them can sell some jewelry, watches, purses, art work, cars and live quite well on the proceeds. I keep reading stories about the glut of multi-million $ luxury properties. They build these real estate portfolios because they could (pre-Trump) deduct the property taxes and then realize the gains when they sold. I’m sure there are ways for them to avoid capital gains or use them against other losses. He is hurting them, but most are going to survive and stay rich. Trump’s stock market benefits them, too.

No easy answers. Stay vigilant. No one human is perfect. This is so vast.

I’m reading and re-reading your responses to my post #928.

I want to thank you all for your thoughtful replies. (That includes “Thinking about your question.”)

I love FR for the thoughtful and logical comments and input we share. (Even though sometimes I can be a knee-jerk conservative.)

I liked truthluva post #934 pointing out a few holes in the theories. And agreed that despite some flaws it makes sense overall. (If I tell you 100 things and 3 turn out to be wrong, that doesn’t necessarily mean the other 97 are wrong. Or even intentional lies. It could be that I just had bad info or misunderstood about the 3 things. Or I could even be lying about the 3 - for whatever reason, but still telling the truth about 97.)

MNDude #936. I’m inclined to agree about Deep State reaction, yet considering the possibility that that is just part of the multi-level game.

AAG # 942. Agree. He seems far less “groomed and owned.”

JM #959: “Even if we and he fail—it’s still the best game in town and certainly deserves to be played out to the end with as much good faith as possible.” Great point and one I am running with until and unless there is compelling info to do otherwise.

Califreak #1031. You mentioned that it was far more focused on Bush corruption, not enough about Clinton. My initial take on that is this.

1. The Bush family are more important players. More the movers and shakers pulling strings. The Clintons are more on the wannabe end of the situation, although they seem to have moved way up in the ranks.

2. We all have biases. That includes the guy who made the video. So maybe he is more of a “classic liberal” and more anti-Bush focused. Or anti-monarchy, being that he’s British. That could tilt his coverage. Also, it was over 3 hours long! Cuts had to be made somewhere.

3. The video is a couple of years old. Maybe there was a little less info available at that time. Certainly the HRC campaign stuff had not yet happened.

reformed liberal #1035. still digesting a lot of your post. Interesting point: “The stories of the JFK assassination show people who are not smart.” I agree. I don’t think any of them are smart. Clintons: stupid. Bushes: stupid. 0vomits: extra dose of stupid. But what they have is audacity. (as 0vomit reminds us in “his” book title). Great points about keeping Kennedy contained.

The “chaos” of the Trump administration actually has become a point of hope for me. It tells me that either he is not part of the Cabal and so is constantly evaluating and re-evaluating who he can trust. Or worst case which would be just as bad as having a Cabal member in the WH is that he is just another evil faction. Like mafia bosses fighting for turf against each other. I’m going with the former. I’m an optimist. The realist in me is forced to consider all possibilities, not to blindly go with the rosy scenario. But at some point, one has to make a choice. I choose optimism.

God bless you, fellow patriots! Many thanks.
