Here's the reality and then by God I'm done unless an investigation-worthy factoid (CT or LN) captures my attention. For anyone living through the fifties, sixties, seventies and beyond, it is apparent that the proverbial Marxist/socialist "long march through the institutions" has been taking place with increasing momentum. I was so politically naive and apathetic that during my law school years of 1979-82, I didn't even realize that my professors were almost all completely whacked-out left-wing radicals (at Arizona State, for God's sake). I used to listen almost exclusively to NPR, oblivious to the incredible leftist bias. I had never even VOTED until the over-the-top leftist hatred of Ronald Reagan caused me to get off my fanny and vote for him.
Begining with Clinton (for whom I definitely did not vote) and intensifying greatly with Obama (for whom I voted twice under the delusion that this would greatly reduce racial tensions) and then Biden (for whom I did not vote), I think the light bulb finally went on for even someone such as myself: We are losing America as we have always known it. The educational system is lost and has been for a long time. Government at every level is heavily leftist. The leftists actually want illegal immigration and the collapse of the borders. The leftists actually want the demise of the family structure. The leftists actually want the collapse of the stability offered by religion and traditional moral values. The long march through the instiutions is at or near the point of no return.
The only solution for people who value America as they once knew it is precisely what Trump offers: Swift, harsh, heavy-handed, take-no-prisoners measures, the proverbial surgeon's knife to deal with what had become a Stage 4 cancer. Realistically, there is no other way. It we be nice if this could be accomplished without the overlay of Trump's ego, narcissism, vindictiveness and whatnot, but we're stuck with him for now and this is a price most who hope for a return to the America they once knew are willing to pay if he doesn't destroy the entire planet in the process.
I think Trump does have an affinity for Putin because he sees Putin as "a winner," a savvy "businessman" like himself, and he sees the economic and pragmatic advantages of a more stable relationship with Russia. But any idea that Trump - Trump!!! - is the natural consequence of some longstanding KBG plot, or the end result of the long march through the institutions (a strategy that originated in Italy and Germany), is just insane. Trump is the very ANTITHESIS of that.
Dear FPR,
Former First Chief Directorate* Counterintelligence officer (and former head of the FSB**) Vladimir Putin helped Trump become our "president" because he knew that he would destroy our country and NATO.
The actions Lt. Col. Putin took against our body politic in 2016 were a continuation of what is now sixty-six years*** of disinformation, "active measures," and mole-based strategic deception counterintelligence operations waged against us and our NATO allies to get us to defeat ourselves.
Whether or not the Kremlin was behind the JFKA, it has taken advantage of its multitudinous and fascinating anomalies since virtually Day One.
*Today's SVR **Formerly called the Second Chief Directorate *** This long-term political strategy was accepted at the 21st "Extraordinary" Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, which congress was held from 27 January to 5 February 1959. Shortly afterwards, Department D was set up in the First Chief Directorate, and General Gribanov, head of the Second Chief Directorate, not to be outdone, set up Department 14 in the SCD and sent Polyakov and Kulak to the FBI's NYC field office to "volunteer" to spy for it at the U.N., and Yuri Nosenko to the CIA in Geneva to discredit what Golitsyn was telling Angleton (and Angleton was unfortunately sharing with Bruce Leonard Solie), and sent the likes of Boris Orekhov, Igor Kochnov, and Vitaly Yurchenko over the years to protect the "moles" in the CIA and the FBI.
