Trump takes over the fight against the US establishment
by Thierry Meyssan
Since the end of July, the president of the United States has been giving the impression of being a bravado that puts world peace in jeopardy with his reckless statements. This article shows that, while making such peremptory interventions, Donald Trump, discreetly maintains its foreign policy goals, despite the almost unanimous opposition of Congress. According to the author, Trump uses what is now called a "communication resource" ... what was once called a "double game." In any case, the president is trying to make his friends achieve control of the Republican Party, which would allow him to be more rational in terms of communication and more rapidly specify his anti-establishment policy.
Donald Trump conceived the idea of rising to the political scene as a result of the events of September 11, 2001, whose official version is challenged. Only after knowing Steve Bannon, Trump decides to participate in the race for the presidency. He put him at the head of his campaign team and, after winning the election, he became his special counselor. Members of Congress forced Trump to take him out of the White House, but the president continues to support him under the table to gain control over the Republican Party. The goal of Trump and Bannon is to turn the United States into a Republic.
Trump before the establishment
The crisis facing Donald Trump with the American ruling class has continued to aggravate over the past 3 months. Unscrupulously betraying the president who previously supported as a candidate, the Republican Party has made an alliance with its adversary - the Democratic Party - against the White House. These two political formations adopted at the Congress, on July 27 and 28, the Countering America's Adversals Through Sanctions Act (Ley de Actuación contra los Adversarios de América a través de Sanciones). It was, neither more nor less, than to expel the president of his prerogatives in matters of foreign policy [1].
In this article we will not take a position in that conflict. What we will do is analyze it to understand the permanent contradictions between declarations and acts as well as the inconsistencies of US foreign policy.
Barack Obama enjoyed the support of his administration and therefore used his communication to get the people of the United States and the world to admit their decisions. Thus he developed the nuclear arsenal while claiming he was going to dismantle it. Thus it burned and bloodied the extended Middle East after announcing a reset with the Muslim world, etc.
Donald Trump, on the other hand, is trying to recover the institutions of his country from the ruling class to put them at the service of the people. And for this he makes statements in which he seems to change his mind constantly, thus sowing the confusion. Distract your opponents with their messy gestures as he patiently pursues his politics out of his eyes.
Although we have already forgotten it, at the time of his arrival at the White House, Donald Trump expressed positions that contradicted some of his election speeches. He was accused, then, of systematically shifting from the politics of his predecessor and being, in practice, too favorable to North Korea, Iran, Russia and Venezuela.
The commentators accused him at the time of being unable to resort to the use of force and, ultimately, to be an isolationist for weakness, interpretation they abandoned on April 7, following the American bombing against the Syrian base of Shayrat with 59 Tomahawk missiles. After returning to the cargo, the same commentators again accused him of weakness, but by then they did it by highlighting a moral relativism that supposedly prevented Trump from perceiving how dangerous the enemies of the United States were.
At the moment of the almost unanimous vote of the Congress against him, it seemed that the president was defeated. He separated abruptly from his special adviser Steve Bannon and, in what seemed a reconciliation with the establishment, he attacked successively against North Korea, Venezuela, Russia and Iran.
On August 8, he launched a dwarf against Pyongyang, announcing that the "threats" of North Korea would be faced with "fire, rage and force, as never before had the world seen." That triggered a verbal escalation between both sides that made it possible to think about the imminence of a nuclear war, to the extent that the Japanese lowered to dust the anti-atomic refuges and some inhabitants of Guam, US possession, preferred to leave the island.
On August 11, President Trump stated that he did not exclude the possibility of resorting to "the military option" to the "dictatorship" of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Caracas responded with the publication in the New York Times of a complete advertising page accusing him of being preparing a regime change in Venezuela, according to the coup d'état scheme used in Chile against Salvador Allende, and requested the solidarity of the American people before to the coup policy [2].
On August 31, the State Department initiated a diplomatic crisis with Russia by ordering the closure of numerous premises of the Russian diplomatic mission in the United States and the reduction of the number of Russian diplomats on US soil. Applying the principle of reciprocity, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs closed US mission premises in Russia and also reduced US diplomatic personnel in their country.
On October 13, Donald Trump delivered a speech where he accused Iran of being the global terrorist financier and questioned the agreement on the Iranian nuclear program that had negotiated its predecessor, Barack Obama. Prior to that speech, the State Department had issued a whole series of accusations of the same court against Hezbollah [3].
For commentators, Donald Trump is finally! following the right path ... but it goes too far and it hurts. Others consider it simply as a mentally ill and others say they rely on the hope that they are applying the "crazy dog" strategy, as did Richard Nixon, consisting in scaring the enemy by making him believe that one is capable of everything.
But, in practice, nothing has changed. Neither against North Korea, nor against Venezuela, nor against Russia. And neither in relation to Iran. On the contrary, move forward - as far as possible - Trump's policy against the creation of jihadist States. The Gulf countries have abandoned the support policy for the Islamic Emirate (Daesh), which has been defeated in Mosul and Raqqa. Yihadism is descending back to the sub-state category. Everything happens as if the president had not done anything other than "doing theater" and gain time.
Bannon, the ace in the manga
From 13 to 15 October the Values Voter meeting took place at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington. A group of associations of Christian families, which the dominant press describes as racist and homophobic, organizes this conference every year. This time, numerous speakers made use of the word, after the president of the United States, before an eminently anti-establishment hearing and Steve Bannon appeared in the program - at the request of President Trump- despite the protests of some effectively homophobic organizers that They beleaguered Bannon for having popularized the speaker Milo Yiannopoulos, a young homosexual who fights against the manipulation of gays on the part of the Democrats.
In making use of the word, the former special advisor of the White House attacked fully against the interests of multimillionaires of globalization. Bannon, despite being described as an extreme right-wing individual, is in favor of the super-rich being charged a tax on 44% of his income.
Bannon harassed the elites, simultaneously "corrupt and incompetent", represented by Hillary Clinton; People who, Bannon underlined, have found a personal interest in the destruction of jobs in US soil and in the transfer of jobs to China. Bannon accused these elites of trying to destroy President Trump, as well as his family and friends. Senator Bob Corker questioned Senator Bob Burke, for having mocked the commander in chief, claiming he is unable to lead the country without causing a Third World War, and Senator Major Leader Mitch McConnell to organize sabotage against Trump. Bannon also recalled his vision of economic nationalism at the service of the American Republic, egalitarian regardless of race, religion and the sexual preference of each one. And he concluded by saying that since the Republican Party has declared war on the American people, the latter will make the war.
Bannon's friends immediately pronounced themselves against the Caciques of the Republican Party to seize partisan investiture in all local elections. As this is an unprecedented situation, nobody knows if they will achieve this goal, but it is clear that Bannon's success at this conference is a good omen for them.
The double game of the White House
At a cabinet meeting, President Trump said he understood the frustration of his former special counselor because "Congress is not doing its job," even though Republicans are majority voters. And then he went to show up next to Sen. McConnell, assuring him to calm Bannon ... on some things.
That is, the president continues with his extravagant statements, to content the Congress, while using his former counselor to get rid of the leaders of the Republican Party.
We are witnessing a struggle that is no longer political but cultural. In it they face the puritanical thought and the ideas of the Republic - or of the Common Good [4].
Seen from the outside, we find that after his extreme statements, Donald Trump discreetly pursues his action against Daesh. Closed the flow of funds to the Islamic Emirate and favored the recovery of the cities that jihadist group regarded as their capitals. He turned NATO into an anti-jihadist organization. We can not know, for the moment, whether, after the destruction of Daesh, the fight against other jihadist groups will continue, or how it will react to Pentagon initiatives aimed at ending the structures of the Northwestern states of Latin America and Southeast Asia . There is a long way to go before achieving the decadent empire in a Republic.
