Things have changed, shifted. The balance of power is not what it was.
For long years, and you can forget about political parties and who was in office, this Country has been run by the so-called left wing of the Establishment, the Rockefellers, Morgans, Mellons, Bushes, and their lackeys (Clintons, Obamas, Carters, Gores, Kerrys, etc). These are the globalists (remember GHW Bush and his 'new world order'). They weakened America, changed us into a Nation of grumpy, old folks sitting in diners and griping that the air is too warm, the soup too cold and the burger too rare. Here and there, we exercise a little and flexed our increasingly flabby muscles in little, unwinnable pseudo-wars.
These were the power brokers and this time around, they had decided that one of the dynasties would be continued. Either Jeb Bush or Hillary Clinton were to be chosen and it did not matter in the least who it was. However, The Donald, stepped in and kicked Jeb out. Still, he was thought a joke, a cartoon and HRC was set to beat him like a gong.
But, their old-boy establishment has always had an opposition. Military men, certain elements in the intelligence community, and fantastically wealthy individuals who made their money outside the establishment businesses. These folks saw an opening when Trump was nominated and they grabbed hold like a fox with a chicken. Using a deep understanding of how populations are manipulated and the WikiLeaks of Julian Assange (and I am very sure that the emails he leaked are legitimate), they pulled off a non-violent military coup and have wrestled power from the hands of those they have long loathed, the Eastern, liberal Establishment.
Okay, what does that mean? They promise to make America great again. First, forget the new jobs angle; most jobs have been lost to automation and these folks love machines and gadgets. That leaves the military. Trump is filling his Cabinet with some of most hard core military people around and is promising to recreate our military might (how, when he is cutting taxes, is beyond anyone who can do simple math, but, just for the fun of it, let's take him at his word).
Alright, yeah, we are no longer a bunch of kvetching old folks, we are once again a young, powerful giant. What next? Think back, guys, on your adolescent days when, testosterone raging, you were ready to attack anyone at the slightest hint of an insult. We already know, from past events and statements, that The Donald is touchy, belligerent, and vengeful. This cannot be a good thing.
It is one thing to be powerful, it is another thing entirely to be belligerent. In the real World, actions have consequences, sometimes horrific consequences. A World leader, if he acts like a petulant child, and we have all witnessed Trump doing just that, can, and likely will cause an eruption of havoc that will costs the lives of countless people.
Rest assured however, that the new Powers That Be, like the ones they are replacing, will not be among the casualties. That will be the privilege of the common folk. Hillary might have called us deplorables, but, to the new bosses, we are expendables.

America and the Powers That Be, the Vatican
Before I start this, let me clearly say that I am not some backwoods fundamentalist railing against Catholicism. This post deals with the power structure of the Vatican itself.
For centuries now, the Vatican has longed for a return to the days of the Holy Roman Empire. Some want this because they want to see Christianity united and, eventually, leading the world. Some want the power and the wealth. Some, I suppose, want both.
Of course, as historians love to point out, it was neither Holy, Roman, or an Empire, but it amassed an incredible amount of wealth and wielded entirely too much power. As it fell apart, many in the Church were loathe to admit that such a thing could happen and began to jealously guard what power they had left, all the while holding fiercely to all that wealth. This led them to fall in with some very unpleasant people and groups.
The church, circa WW2, was fairly complacent in the face of fascism, making deals with Mussolini, and Hitler, uttering only feeble protests against the Holocaust, and, after the fighting, running rat lines that helped many notoriously evil Nazis escape justice. And, yes, this did increase the Vatican wealth.
People being people, some Church officials got their hands into the Vatican bank and caused all sorts of mischief. Ultimately they were dealing with the Mafia in various guns and drug schemes and with the remnants, rather sizable and powerful remnants, of Europe's fascist community, through the quasi Masonic Lodge, P2. Much money was stolen and much havoc reached. We will talk a bit more about this in the next post.
One way we know of the Vatican's continued lust for power is through a very shadowy group, Opus Dei. It is a shame that Dan Brown in The DaVinci Code painted them as a sort of cartoonish group, sort of like James Bond's enemies SMERSH. They are not cartoonish. Instead they are a repressive an deadly cult within the church wielding great power. They were doted on by Popes, John Paul II and Benedict. They profess to be the saviors of the traditional Church but, the more you find out about them, which is difficult to do (I strongly recommend a website called VYSUP for some very well researched info), the more it seems that their conservatism is more toward the wealth and power than any doctrinal issues.
Next post we will get into the weird world of fascism but first, let me mention another group within the Church that has deep ties to the fascist network, The Sovereign Knights of Malta. With roots going back to the Crusades and the Knights Hospitiller, they have a curiously large number of members who have held high, extremely high, positions in American politics, the American Military, and, frighteningly enough, the American Intelligence organizations. Odder still is the deep ties these individuals had to groups often linked to the JFK assassination (however, I am not about to start on that topic). Linked to the SKOM is any even stranger group, the Sovereign Knights of St. John of Jerusalem or the Shikshinny Knights, the difference being that the latter claim succession through the
Russian Church, I point this out so you can see how interlinked so many of these groups are, Nothing on Earth happens in isolation and the PTB are a massively confusing group with fingers in every pie imaginable. Next post I will try to untie a few more of the knots.
