Is Donald Trump merely a Pied Piper?

No question about it, the War Clouds are gathering. But we need to
remind ourselves that Donald Trump is nothing more than the Carnival
Huckster, shouting out, "Come one, come all. Ladies and Gents. See
the Two Headed Political Party do the Side Step Tango. Watch the
World's greatest Double Talker, Mitch the Mouth, proving we can have
our cake and eat it too...if you don't mind eating his slobber. And
yes, above your very heads are those amazing tight rope walkers, the
Republican members of our very own US Senate, demonstrating the skill
of walking a fine line without falling to either side."
It's all very entertaining, if you like that sort of stuff, but it
begs the question. The question is, do we want to be part of the most
oppressive, violent expansionist empire in the history of the human
race?
And with it comes the question, Do we believe that we are a White
Race, superior to all other Races? And, if we think we are, do we
believe that we are being threatened with extinction?
The difficulty in getting at honest answers is that the very
information we rely upon has been twisted so as to create a "Fairy
Tale" history. The American history has Pilgrims sitting down to
share Thanksgiving dinner with the gentle Indians. It shows a new
nation that is billed as the Melting Pot of the World. It shows young
boys walking barefooted to one room school houses and growing up to
live in mansions, looking out over their sprawling factories, filled
with happy workers. Pioneers in covered wagons are seen rolling off
to the Gold Fields in California, where the Mexican residents welcome
them with open arms. "From Sea to Shining Sea" we sing...and beyond.
If we ignore what is going on around us, if we buy into that Make
Believe History, then one fine day we will be shocked when our great
American Empire implodes and is devoured by "Out-landers"
, and the void will be replaced by the next violent Horde of Empire Builders.
