Drew Phipps Wrote:Trump was endorsed tonight by Michael Flynn, ex-DIA chief and also PNAC advocate. (He was forced out of office after his public disagreements with Obama.) In his speech, he promoted the continued use of the concept of "American exceptionalism" and also talked about the "New American Century." He also derided the attempts to get soldiers to pay attention to such niceties as political correctness, which bathroom to use, etc...
So, in case you had any doubt where the hard core right wing military - industrial complex, that (at a bare minimum) brought us into Iraq after 9/11 (despite Flynn's post-firing criticism), stands, now you know: They want Trump.
Trump for all of his bluster is a blank slate [and know-nothing]..... I'm sure the MI+C surely feels they can lead him by the nose to do whatever they want, and are correct. Presidents have little real say or power since Dallas, and less when they are totally uninformed geopolitically and historically - like Trump the Chump. Sadly, the MI+C also knows they 'win' and will control with Clinton. Either way expect more wars, more megadeath, more misery, more loss of freedom, more poverty - except for the few, more environmental destruction, more chaos, more propaganda, more hate, more bigotry, more oligarchy, more neo-fascism, more militarized police, more people in private prisons, less justice, more control, less quality of life - no matter how measured. A 'NEW new Pearl Harbor' will be possible under either of them.
Clinton would make some few minor progressive domestic changes. Neither would do anything good internationally or geostrategically - nor any MAJOR positive domestic changes. Both VERY bad. One worse. Vote Green - Dr. Jill Stein.
