The Deep State, Trump, and the World

I watched Trump’s press conference in full following his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki. To me, Trump sounded positive and perfectly reasonable, and his behavior at this time was actually Statesmanlike. Here is a link to the full press briefing including an English translation of what Mr Putin said. It is worth watching this in full if you haven’t already, as shortened versions are likely to be selectively edited.
Of course it was to be expected that the gangsters who now run the United States but don’t entirely control Trump would react in a hostile manner to Trump’s remarks, but even I was a little taken aback by their rabid apoplexy. The mainstream media, which they totally control, went into full attack mode on Trump.
Whilst the majority of normal and balanced people would doubtless like to see a state of peace and concord between Russia and the United States, that is not what the Military Industrial complex and the Neocons want – they want Russia as an adversary, because they need a bogeyman, an enemy, so that they can continue to drain the blood and treasure of the American people into their coffers. It has been estimated that a Military budget of $200 billion per year would be more than adequate to defend the Homeland of the United States against any and all who might try to threaten or overrun it militarily. However the Military and the Pentagon bleeds the American taxpayer to the tune of $800 billion per year – $600 billion in excess of what is required to get the job done – so it’s no wonder that the American middle class is feeling drained and exhausted, and the infrastructure of the country crumbles as defense contractors live “high on the hog”. Furthermore, much of this budget is wasted on inefficient projects like the vastly expensive F-35 fighter, whose real purpose is to funnel money into the pockets of all involved in it. That’s just the military we are talking about here and doesn’t take account of the other arms of the bloated parasitic government machine.
