Let's do this together. From all right, it's the twenty
(00:59):
eight Holy cow, another month gone. The next time I
do a show, it's going to be August first, Can
that right possible? Hold on? Let me check yep, that's right,
Friday shows, maybe the August first, August first, another month,
mon imagine that. Well, it's me Jake, This is Politics
(01:20):
by Jake, and I want We've got a lot of
important things to talk about today and I'm kind of
excited to do that. Of course, you know, we do
the biweekly Monday and Friday thing seven am CASEAA. The
recordings done in Los Angeles, but the flagship is in Lomlando, California.
That's KSEA radio dot com. You can go there and
(01:43):
you can listen to my show. You can also pick
it up as a podcast. Just go to the Monday
Friday schedule and it's there. So let's get started. The
recent thing. And you know, Republican and conservative to politics,
they have long since fallen into the gutter, and they've
(02:05):
got underneath the gutter. They're just there. If there's something
lower than the gutter, there there, it's gone there. And
what is the most recent thing, and I'm sure you've
heard of it, is that Trump is accused Obama of
treason and he claims to have incontrovertible proof of his guilt,
(02:26):
but all he's able to come up with are documents
that actually point to his own guilt. His own collusion
with Russia is pretty much unquestionable, his own insanity, and
he did this in the Oval Office a few days ago.
And when this sacrilege occurs, and this is kind of
(02:52):
why I'm leading with this, because there's other stuff, there's
big stuff to lead with, but this actually you'll excuse
the expression trumps it. American citizens have to begin to
look at the choices they have, not only for themselves,
but for the country, for our country and our future.
(03:15):
And because not only of these things, but for all
the things that went before. I mean, including but not
limited to, how that Donald Trump fomented, promulgated, and prosecuted
not only a legislative coup and insurrection, but a violent
(03:38):
insurrection against these United States. And for that you've heard
me talk about it before. I'll just mention it in
a passing check out the Colorado Supreme crags called Griswold v. Anderson.
He absolutely positively was found guilty of that. Go and
read it. You will find out for yourself that he
(04:00):
has been found guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction,
the esteem justices of the Colorado Supreme Court, that he
was guilty of insurrection, and as a consequence of that,
according to the Fourteenth Amendment, which these fascists. The fourteenth
Amendment is one of the three reconstruction amendments. The thirteenth
(04:20):
Amendment is no chattel slavery. The fourteenth Amendment birthright citizenship
the youth solely, and many other things, honoring the dead
of the United States. The fifteenth is voting rights, and
the oligarchs, the financial criminals who run Wall Street, have
(04:46):
been trying unceasingly, unceasingly to destroy the new birth of freedom.
But we have to realize, all people who care about
this country have to realize that Donald Trump can no
longer remain the president of the United States. Whatever there
(05:08):
is in the so called Epstein files that incriminate him
in whatever crime or bestiality or abuse or just whatever
it is. This is a person who, inexplicably, after all
that he's done, still retains the all two real powers
(05:31):
of his office. And this is a man who is
ill suited even to be so much as to be
elected as a dog catcher. But as president, he's a
danger to the life of every person in this country
and every person on this planet. So why, you know,
did he accuse Obama of treason?
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Will?
Speaker 2 (05:52):
I mean, he's doing whatever he can do. Is just
another thing that's available. It's a sign of his desperation
that he's even trying it. And this is the adult
mind that he has with regard to this. Does members
of the Supreme Court that Trump himself appointed, including one
(06:17):
he was able to appoint only because of a manipulative
and ethical political trick that was enacted by his party
while he was running for president. Have created a virtual
and blanket immunity for presidents for acts committed while in office.
So consequently, it's not possible for any president to be
(06:38):
guilty of any of the crimes that Trump is alleged
about Obama, even if they were remotely true, because Trump
made sure that there are no crimes that any president
can be guilty of. So I think the fourteenth Amendment
(06:59):
is still available, although I'm really concerned and very disappointed
in Congress that on January sixth, which is supposed to
be known as Certification Day, where the Congress assitts and
the Vice President basically reads out the votes and certifies
and confirms that the person who got the most electoral
(07:22):
votes is the president of the United States. I think
that that's still available. I think that a vote of
acclamation can be taken, but I'm really disappointed in it.
But there are still things that can be done, and
this is one of the things that I think needs
to be done. Governor Newsom has recently floated the idea
(07:46):
that he's going to withhold the taxes that would ordinarily
be due to the federal government. And I think that
this is an excellent idea. And moreover, I think that
the leaders of the Democratic Party, the governors of the
key Democratic led states, former President Clinton, members of the
(08:10):
Supreme Court that President Clinton and Obama appointed, key business
leaders of this country need to meet in conference to
attempt to fend off the coming disaster. And like I said,
make no mistake, it is coming that Donald Trump seeks
to inflict it on this nation and on this world,
(08:32):
and to stop it with actions that would shame a
Soviet leader or a medieval king. They should give life
to the idea voiced by Governor Newsom that his state
should no longer pay the expenses of the so called
Red states, whose economies are such. And this is the
(08:55):
crazy thing about this, because in the Red States are
those who are most vocal against the largess of the
federal government, and yet it is they who receive the
large s because of the power and the ability and
the remunerative ability of the Blue states. Governor Newsom has suggested,
(09:18):
in effect, a tax boycott. At such a conference, those
who want to save America should propose and organize and
safe process for all the states to participate in this
tax boycott and assume all the risks so that you,
as citizens bear no risk. There should be an analysis
(09:41):
and an organization to propose a national strike, because national
strikes really work. The cat Push was brought down in
nineteen nineteen because the workers called a general strike. This
is why Stalin said that the workers were the enemy
of the people and that the Nazi Party was much
(10:03):
much less dangerous because the workers could do a national
strike and it basically shut down the cat put was
nineteen nineteen. There is a guy named Cap, there is
a military guy named Witgen or something like that, and
they basically tried to set down the Ymar Republic, which
(10:26):
at that time was like to do so it would
be like to strangle it in the cradle. It only
lasted about fourteen or fifteen years as it was, but
they tried to strangle it in the cradle. But the
trade unionists and the workers did a strike. They did
a general strike and they stopped it, and Cap and
Wigan had to flee. General strikes are powerful. They shut
(10:52):
everything down. And if we did that, you could find
out who the real owners of this country are. In
America that was subject to a general strike, a dictatorship
run by a minority of unproductive racists, they would flee,
(11:16):
just like captive. The Conference should propose legal, peaceful needs
to remove Donald John Trump from all of us immediately.
It's a serious stuff. I'm absolutely serious about this. Remove
his many of his fervent and least mentally well accolytes
and enforcers like Tom Holman, like Stephen Miller, and replaces
(11:46):
administration with a bipartisan, multi party one that can serve
to undo the damage he's already inflicted as a form
of caretaker government until the midterm elections. This is quite
I just totally think that this ought to happen until
the midterm elections of twenty twenty six, which you've heard
(12:07):
me say. I'm not even sure they will occur. Everybody
talks about, oh, the elections of twenty twenty eight. Donald
Trump got up before a religious group and said, vote
like hell in twenty twenty four, because by twenty twenty eight,
we'll have it fixed and you'll never have to vote again.
You know why, there won't be any elections. And I
(12:30):
think that his government has been so depraved that I
think he knows that he has to have this fixed
by twenty twenty six, and not twenty twenty eight, But anyway,
a conference that will hopefully put us back onto the
path of the tolerant, a diverse, multi party nation which
we all grew up in, and which you and I
(12:52):
and our parents and ancestors have thrived in since seventeen
seventy six. And that Lincoln said in during the heated
debates between him and Senator Stephen A. Douglas, where the
(13:13):
main topic was slavery and its expansion into new territories.
Lincoln sought to clarify his opposition to slavery spread while
navigating the complex racial attitudes of his time, and he said,
disenthrall yourselves. Disenthrall yourselves, my countrymen, he said, and resolved
(13:36):
to be three. He said, I do insist that there
is no right on the part of any man or
set of men, to enslave another man against his consent.
Disenthrall yourselves, he said, my countrymen, resolved to be free.
I say this to you, disenthrall yourselves, my country men,
(14:00):
and resolve to be free. Because a fascist dictatorship has
got control of the government and wants to take away
your freedom. And they're doing it. It's happening right now.
And this is politics by Jake, And we'll be back.

system is rigged. Help us say it louder won't you
(15:28):
join us at Patreon dot com. Forward slash Politics by Jake.
All right, this is politics by Jake, and we're back,
and I want to preface the next segment with the
following clip. Go ahead and take a listen to this.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Sir, how much did you personally know about the existence
of concentration camps or death camps?
Speaker 6 (15:51):
Almost nothing. Auschwitz was in Poland. It was pretty much Jewish.
The prisoners in Echaw we're only about sixteen percent Jewish.
They went way back from German Protestants and various people
that Hitler didn't like thrown in as early as nineteen
thirty three when the camp opened. Then they threw in gypsies, homosexuals,
(16:14):
anybody they didn't like. Over the period, and then when
the invasion of Russia took place, hundreds of Russians were captured.
This was an awful thing. The Russian officers were sent
to da Cow and they were told if they would
run down the field and get away, they would be freed,
and they did, but they were all shot in the back.
(16:35):
It was just a real murder scene. At the very end,
the Germans wanted to hide what had happened. In the
other camps, and that's the reason that they sent all
these poor victims down by train. They were alive when
they put them on the train to get them away,
so that presumably the Westerners wouldn't see what had happened.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Okay, and we're back from that short little clip. I
want you to remember that as we go into what
the next segment, which is basically going to be about
an executive order on July. If all these other things
weren't enough going on, Remember, there's this agenda that Trump
(17:16):
lied about in twenty twenty four. He said he didn't
know anything about it, and it is called Project twenty
twenty five, and he has all sorts of parts to it,
and this is one of them. All right, So, as
I said, on July twenty second, twenty twenty five, President
Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at combating homelessness,
(17:40):
ostensibly mind you and improving mental health services across the
United States. The order directs federal agencies. I mean, this
sounds good on its surface, or at least it sounds reasonable.
The order directs federal agencies to coordinate efforts to provide
better support for homeless individuals, especially with those you know,
(18:03):
like the ones that they threw that Ronald Reagan throughout. Now,
I'll get to that, especially those with serious mental illnesses.
Key provisions include increased funding allocation of additional federal funds
to states and local governments specifically targeting programs for homeless
individuals with mental health challenges. Interagency coordination mandates enhanced collaboration
(18:30):
between the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Department of
Health and Human Services, and the Department of Veterans Affairs
to streamline services. Mental health services expansion expands access to
crisis intervention psychiactor care community based support programs aimed in
(18:50):
preventing homelessness related to untreated mental illness. Housing initiatives encourages
the development of more support of housing facilities that combined
shelter with integrated mental health care. Data sharing and tracking
established as a national database. This is kind of ominous, actually,
to track progress, improve resource allocation for homeless populations with
(19:16):
mental health needs. Executive Order on Combating Homelessness and Expanding
Mental Health Services by the Authority vested in me as
President of the United States of America is hereby order
as follows, and it goes on from there. And that's
basically it. What I've described to you is basically it.
But you know, let's dig deeper into this. This is
(19:41):
a subject that's urgent, it's complicated, It's deeply intertwined with
our nation's troubled past. I would argue that the reason
why this exists is a creature of the modern Republican Party.
There've always been homeless people, There's no doubt about it.
On the surface, the order like a positive step, increasing
(20:02):
funding for mental health services, expanding supportive housing, pushing federal
agencies to work together. It's pitched as a compassionate effort
to help some of the most vulnerable Americans. But history
teaches us to look beneath the surface. We have seen
similar policies before, policies cloaked in the language of care
(20:24):
and efficiency, yet which led to human suffering on a
massive scale. Back in the nineteen thirties, Adolf Hitler's regime
launched the infamous T four euthanasia program under the guise
of public health and social welfare. This program targeted the disabled,
(20:45):
the mentally ill, other marginalized groups, labeled them, called them
unworthy lives. The state systematically murdered tens of thousands of
these in secret brutality justified by twisted notions of racial
hygiene and economic necessity. And the chilling thing is how
(21:08):
the rhetoric used then about public safety, community health, managing
societal burdens echoes in some of today's political discourse. It's
a stark reminder that language can be weaponized to justify cruelties.
Fast forward to the nineteen eighties, when Ronald Reagan's policies
(21:30):
resulted in the mass closure of metal houses. This so
called deinstitutionalization was intended to integrate patients into communities, but
was poorly managed. That is saying the very least that
can be said that it was poorly managed, threw people
out on the street without adequate outpatient supporter or housing.
(21:55):
Hundreds of thousands of medal ill individuals. It up homeless, neglected.
I remember some in the middle of the night sleeping
on heating grates, exposed to dangers on the street. This
is Ronald Reagan, this is the modern Republican Party, This
is Saint Ronnie. The ripple effects of this policy still
(22:18):
haunts today and they can contribute directly to the crisis
of the Trump administration now claims to address. And here
we are in twenty twenty five, Trump signing an executive
order aimed at that very crisis, homelessness entwined with untreated
mental illness. But let's be real, shall we, about who
(22:42):
Trump is. He's a grifter, he's a con man. He's
broken the law repeatedly. He's driven by self interest, a
desire to avoid prison. This is not a savior. He's
a survivalist. He's looking out for number one. However, Trump
is not acting alone. Behind the scenes are even more
(23:02):
dangerous figures Steven Miller, whose hardline immigration policies strip away
basic human rights. Christy nom the dog killer with her
authoritarian streak, Tom Holman, the former ICE chief known for
ruthless enforcement. These are ideologues who thrive on control and
punishment more than care or compassion. So while Trump's executive
(23:28):
order may sound promising, we have to be vigilant. There's
a very real risk that it could become another tool
for marginalizing vulnerable people rather than lifting them up. The
question you have to ask, and it really needs to
be asked, are we heading towards the system that truly
supports homeless people with mental illness? Or are we being
(23:49):
set up for another cycle of neglect, coercion, or perhaps worse.
This is not just about policy, it's about morality. It's
about how society treats its weakest members. Remember history is
not just a record of the past. It's a warning.
The horrors of the T four ethan Asia program didn't
(24:12):
happen overnight. They were enabled by a government willing to
write off human lives in cold, bureaucratic terms, and the
legacy of the institutionalization still leaves millions suffering in the shadows.
Trump himself is flawed, to be sure, but the forces
(24:36):
behind him, the one shaping the machinery of power, they
could easily, as history shows, take us down in even
darker paths. So we need to watch closely. We need,
at the very least, to demand transparency. We need to
demand accountability. We need to fight for dignity and rights
(24:56):
for all people, especially those weakest ones whose society often forgets,
Because if we forget those lessons, we risk repeating the
tragedies of history. That is a challenge and a responsibility
that we face today. And this is politics by Jake,
and we'll be back.
Speaker 4 (25:18):

in Twain Consulting.
Speaker 2 (25:22):

(26:26):
forward slash politics by Jake right now, every dollar helps
fight the noise. And this is politics by Jake. And
we're back. And as a preface to the segment, I
remember once that I went was some time ago. I
(26:50):
went to the Miami Zoo. It was nice, always nice
in Miami. I remember the monkey exhibit and there they were.
They were chimpanzees bars and they were touchy. They resented
being looked at, and so they started throwing their own feces,
you know, at the people in the crowd. And they
(27:13):
thought that was funny. They thought that was so great.
They could throw it a long way too, until some
people in the crowd started throwing it back. This really happened,
and they just didn't The monkeys just didn't like that
at all. That actually, that just drove them wild with rage.
(27:36):
So going on with this thing we're talking about about
Trump and Stein, the horror show that won't go away. Trump,
as I said at the beginning, he wants to lock
up Obama. That's the most recent version of the clarion
call of Trump and Stein to try to throw feces
against the wall, just to do anything, anything that will
(28:00):
get the people off their fascist backs, including their magic enablers.
But as I said, two guys, didn't your clique on
the Supreme Court majority even maybe more than them, start
telling us that it is impossible to hold a president
(28:23):
criminally responsible for actions undertaking in his psial capacity. I
think that's important. I mean, if Trump is immune, then
Obama is immune, Biden is immune, Clinton is immune. Even
Bush the younger would be immune. And this is all
(28:44):
the flawed logic, the debilitated thinking of these kind of regimes.
So where does this come from. Let's try to look
at the deeper psychological Welsh springs. It pretty much goes
like this, fascism, fascist mass movements, you know, phenomena of
(29:09):
this type. They generally arise after tremendous crises in society.
Notice it's something that somewhat limited to the modern era.
In other words, there's you look at Carl Schmidt, who
I very occasionally have talked about on this show. He
(29:29):
was Hitler's lawyer, Hitler's lawyer. Carl Schmidt writes books where
he quotes a Spanish theoretician, Donalzo des Cortes. Donalzo Descortes
is there to say to people what nineteen hundred something
like that. He says, look, there are no more kings.
(29:50):
In other words, the era of monarchy is over. Modern society,
in its complexity and communications already by nineteen hundred had
left the phenomenon of mark monarchy in the past, in
terms of any real power occurring to the king. There
are no more kings, and therefore the governments in the
(30:13):
modern era are generally going to be conducted against Parliament,
against the Prime minister, against the president, or against the Congress,
you know, things of this sort. And they're going to
function with fascist mass movements and coup de tah and
I think that holds up. But how does it happen?
(30:36):
It requires a whole different thing. You can't do a
palace coup. Palace coup won't work because of the role
of the palace is not what it was. So therefore,
what you've got to do is you've got to get
the masses in motion. You've got to unlease mass forces
against the people that you're dealing with. So what kind
(30:57):
of people can you recruit? Well, here's we get into
this thing, okay. So look, Mussolini March on Rome nineteen
twenty two, Hitler Caizure of Power nineteen thirty three. Hitler
actually started with the beer hall push in Munich in
(31:18):
nineteen twenty three, so like a year after Mussolini, and
one wonders whether Hitler was inspired by Mussolini, because we
know that Hitler had great respect for Mussolini. So nineteen
twenty two, nineteen twenty three is the first time Hitler
tried to do something. But they're both war veterans, they're
(31:39):
both from the trenches of World War One, the Western
German French Front for Hitler and for Mussolini it's the
Austrian Front, it's the Azanzo river Front. There were twelve,
I think twelve or thirteen attacks by the Italian general
who was at Cordona. The idea is that basic troops
(32:02):
of fascism are disgruntled war veterans. They always had that.
And then on top of that you can add angry workers,
shopkeepers who have lost everything, people who have undergone trauma
in their lives. In order to qualify as what broken souls,
(32:24):
wounded souls, people whose previous ideas of their lives cannot
be maintained, and they have to get into a mode
which I would call vicarious living. And this is not
exactly psychological jargon, but it's clear enough what it means.
You've got to be driven down so low that you
(32:48):
give up on your own life and you decide to
live just about only for the success of somebody else.
That's the moment where you can find a political leader
care if possible. Not sure i'd call Trump that, but
you know whatever, who can seemingly express some kind of
support for you, some kind of understanding for you, reaches
(33:12):
out to you, or you believe it that you delude yourselves.
Many times you delude yourselves at the hands of false populace.
Then we can get into a phase called narcissistic symbiosis.
Symbios is the kind of mutually beneficial mutual relation between
(33:35):
the charismatic leader of the ducee, the called leo, the doge,
the condicator in romania. That person is somehow you've transferred
your hopes and your dreams to that person. You blame
the enemies of that person for everything bad, and that's
(33:59):
sort of where the movie It comes from. You've got
to have people who have really been beaten up, really
been beaten down, deprived of everything, but they feel they
still have some significance in meaning by supporting this false
populist movement, and that is what it is. It's false populism.
(34:20):
And this is important to understand because it is wrong
to say that the people supporting Trump are simply that
they were born fascist or something like that. Although Edward
the king biographer, the one who married Wallace Simpson had
(34:40):
to give up the kingship. He's even his own biographer
said he was like a natural fascist. So there are
such things. But it would be wrong to say that
these wounded people are born fascist. But it's more like this.
They've been read deduced to a state where they might
(35:02):
decide to go down this path, and that's how it starts.
This is why you cannot expect to use the platonic
dialogue method, for example, really at all with this movement.
And people try, and you see people try, and you
see on the shorts and on the reels and on
(35:24):
the videos that the people are talking to they never
get it. They won't even accept your facts, they won't
accept your arguments. They're kind of pre programmed to reject
any criticism of the duche, the Cordello and so forth.
The guide. I don't know to potend get to be
(35:45):
the guyed I think you probably did. But you can't
entertain criticism of this book because it's not rational. The
whole phenomenon is by definition irrational, even though it is lawful,
and it consequently, it can't be understood using the ordinary parameters.
(36:06):
And so that's how the broken souls go from individual
drifting broken souls into narcissistic symbiosis, therefore becoming a movement
which we can then call collective insanity, mass psychosis, things
of this sort. Now previous to this moment, there is
(36:29):
only one way out of this from the inducer, the
carr you know, the charismatic one at the top, to
be removed by whatever means, to seize political activity, to
go into exile. Maybe. But as I say, the reason
I was bringing up and you've heard me bring up,
and the person's name, I really haven't said her name before.
It's Machiat Getsen who said that the United States, and
(36:54):
you have heard me say this has the most powerful,
the most resilient, the strongest kind of civil society in
the world. And it's the fact that instead of taking
a direct path to dictatorship, whoever is going to do it,
they have to make all kinds of concessions to public
(37:16):
opinion because we still have the formal remnants of democracy
that we have with us, and that slows them down
and may even do more so, as I do in
the show I talk about things that you can do.
It's really up to you, right, make sure that you're
(37:40):
aware of this, will you? And this is politics by
Jake And.
Speaker 4 (37:44):
Now here's a work from one of our sponsors, Plain Consulting.
Speaker 6 (37:53):
Hi.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
This is Jake with Twin Consulting. Imagine if you will,
having the power to disappear from the prying eyes of creditors,
identity thieves, nosy strangers, all while protecting what you've worked

you're not crazy. The system is rigged. Help us say
(39:02):
it louder, won't you join us at patreon dot com.
Forward politics by Jake. Okay, and this is politics by Jake,
And we are back. And I wanted to talk about
a couple of things. I want to follow up on
what we were talking about in the last segment about
(39:23):
the demoralization of the people that leads to this narcissistic symbiosis,
which was what Jung would call Carl Jung the twentieth
century psychologists would call the wounded leader. And I want
to go through three or four, maybe four points if
(39:44):
I can get to him, of what are kind of
the credenda, you know, the creed, the points in the
creed of this movement, to show you where this comes
from and how the genesis of it all may then
guide you towards understanding why it's falling apart these days.
But I really wanted to talk about this thing about
(40:06):
the strength of civil society that I was talking about
towards the end of the last segment, the resistance against fascism.
You remember, I said at a certain point, those of
you who listened to the show, quite a bit that
it is up to the institutions of this country to
defeat fascism because a fascist of all you hear me
(40:28):
say it many times, has taken over control of the government.
That has happened the resistance against this fascism. It's remarkable.
I think it takes me back to this comment that
I said. It was made by a Russian journalist, Masha Gessen,
(40:52):
a Russian journalist took refuge I guess in the United States,
and she pointed out a couple of years ago that
the United States and now listen to this, this is good.
The United States, in her view, has the strongest civil
society in the world. Now what does that mean? What
(41:13):
civil society? Well, you know, civil society is commonly understood
as being everything above the family, right, In other words,
it does not include the individual human family, you know,
like mother, father, children, or just partners or whatever combination
there is. It should be encouraged in a time of
(41:37):
tremendous social dilapidation, but from the family up to the
government in other words, from the upper limits of the
family to the lower limits of the government. That's what
you define as civil society. So what is it, Well,
it's clubs, it's sporting association, it's political parties, it's institutions
(42:03):
like universities, newspapers, television, networks, any kind of group phenomenon
coming together for some purpose, just whatever it is, you know,
coin collecting, stamp collecting, butterfly observation, bird clubs, just anything.
(42:25):
Associations of people with coming together for some purpose. It
doesn't matter. People with special academic interests, historical interests. Churches
obviously a very big part of civil society or that,
(42:45):
in Gessen's view, the United States has the strongest kind
of civil society anywhere in the world. And I think
there is a significant truth in that. And even though
if you're an ultra left, of course you're going to
take pride in the fact that you're so decadent that
you can't be patriotic. But nevertheless, I think that there
(43:08):
is a moment of patriotism in all this. That the
resistance so far against this totalitarian, fascist, dictatorial government has
been I think quite remarkable, and it shows every sign
of growing. It's not going away. For example, a key
(43:29):
stat would be, according to the latest CNN poll, thirty
six percent of Republicans reject and disapprove of the way
that Trump administration has been handling the Epstein question. That
is a very serious thing. And this character Harry Anton
on CNN was talking about. His words for this were horrendous, awful, tragic, cataclysmic,
(43:58):
you know, whatever it is, because that's the incumbent president's
own party that's doing that. And what seems to be
at least at the moment, one of the key issues.
Again with all the caveats I can put on that
that really it shouldn't be so, but it is so.
(44:19):
So let's get in there. Okay, you're not going to
sit on the sidelines turn up your nose at reality.
You can't afford to do it. Reality is there, and
you may not like this world, you've got to live
in it. So I would say, live in it already. Okay, okay, Now,
let's get back to what we were talking about last segment.
(44:42):
Like I said, demoralization of the people as it leads
to this narcissistic symbiosis, which what Jung would call the
wounded leader. So, first of all, you have the wrecking
of the world economy, and this, by the way, is
going on right now. But I'm referring to globalization, the
transformation from a modern industrialized economy with tangible physical production.
(45:09):
So in other words, when I say that, I mean agriculture, industry, housing,
public works, and so forth into this post industrial lunar
moonscape that we have covered with craters and god knows what.
So it's de industrialization service economy. These are disasters. And
(45:33):
this was promoted by Wall Street. And what you're going
to notice is that most of the things that I
want to talk about as causes of Trump have to
do with the crimes of Wall Street. You've heard me
talk about Wall Street as the criminals who run Wall Street.
(45:53):
And it's also it's an important point to say that
when you have a large minority, or even i magority,
it depends of people who are profoundly discontented with the
current situation. You've got to pay attention to that. But
what you don't want to do is to believe the
(46:14):
remedies or accept the remedies that these victims propose. Why
because generally they're not going to give you a clear
picture of a warped reality. They're going to give you
a warped picture of a warped reality, and it may
lead you to exactly go in the wrong direction. And
(46:37):
that's pretty much honestly what's happened. So, okay, what's the
carnage on the economic front. Well, you've heard me go
through it before, I'll go through it again. In about
nineteen eighty nine nineteen ninety, sixty thousand American factories were
shut down. That means sixty thousand communities multiplied by ten
(47:01):
twenty fifty one hundred, ten thousand factories shut down. The
decline of the industrial power that had taken over the
world in the eighteen nineties that won World War One,
but also World War two in particular, and that was
essentially just thrown Overbard by Wall Street so they could
(47:24):
get cheaper labor in the Third World. And this was
at least one study from about nineteen sixty seven that
talked about this and said, what's coming is a third
stage of imperialism. We're going to have to have a
runaway shop, We're going to have to outsource it, we're
(47:45):
going to have to offshore all kinds of production. That's
going to be the rule. All right, So that's sixty
thousand Trump I heard him once he claimed seventy thousand.
I think sixty thousand is more right. But sixty thousand
is already more than enough, all right, And then going
(48:08):
along with that, since the service economy, these are lousy,
dead end jobs, low wages. So therefore, as you get
fewer and fewer highly skilled industrial jobs more and more
low wage service jobs, you have cut the standard of
(48:28):
living in half minus fifty percent or more in certain areas,
and it doesn't show up in the statistics because a
lot of it has to do with the cost of education, insurance, healthcare,
you know, things like that which are not sufficient. They
(48:48):
have not been reflected enough in the typical market basket
from the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the Labor Department,
right the bls inflation, in other words, buying power. So
one half of your living standard is gone. It's also
certainly a fact that nobody seems to register that the
(49:13):
media or the newspapers don't really say, hey, you know, Americans,
the headline is this, you've lost half of your standard
of living, and here's why they don't tell you that
they're in on it. So what it leaves then is
(49:36):
the individual this left infused realm where you're really hurting
and you don't know why, and you know, do you
blame yourself. Who do you blame. You've got to find
somebody to blame. And at that point along comes some
(49:58):
conspiracy theorist to tell you that this is the deep state. Now,
let me point out at times there is a deep state,
but normally the deep state is not a name that
you would recognize. You can't tell me that Obama is
the deep state or that Biden is the deep state.
(50:18):
In other words, prominent elected officials, especially presidents, there's nothing
deep about them, and they embody certain features of the state,
but they're not deep. So parallel government, secret government, alternative government,
these are real, and they do pop up. But all
(50:40):
that means is that there are networks, and this is
really the correct way to look at it, networks inside
the federal government that have certain policy goals which may
or may not be those of the current administration. And
that's just the fact. That doesn't mean they dominate. They
(51:02):
may pull in one direction, but they may or may
not prevail. And of course it doesn't mean that they're
all pedophiles. The pedophile stuff seems to be a big
emotional center of gravity for a lot of these people.
I guess because you it doesn't take a whole lot
of sophisticated political, economic, military, strategic analysis. It's just this
(51:28):
monstrous crime against children, so pretty much something that everybody
can understand except for mentally old persons. However, it doesn't
really explain anything. And in order to try to counteract
this phenomenon, you need to have some policies, and most
(51:50):
of the time they don't. They think Trump is bringing those,
so okay. So anyway, Second, Forever war first, the Vietnam War,
to the Iraq War, the Afghan War. You remember George
Bush the Elders in aug Your address nineteen eighty eight,
(52:10):
he said, I'm going to make sure that the Vietnam complex,
the Vietnam syndrome ends, in other words, great reticence to
start foreign adventures, foreign military interventions. So Bush comes on
the scene Push the elder in nineteen eighty eight and says,
I'm going to turn all that around, and he did
(52:31):
Panama first and then Saddam in the early nineties under
the guidance of Margaret Thatcher who transplanted backbone to British plus.
All right, so you got the idea right, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq,
Gulf War, Libya, so on, got me? These are the
(52:54):
forever wars. Now, the third point would be domestic covert opera.
Many of these highly suspicious, not all proven, some proven
more than others. We're talking JFK, We're talking RFK, We're
talking nine to eleven, and we're talking about a whole
(53:16):
series of things, right Waco, Ruby Ridge, so on, the
Atlanta Olympics, just an endless series of domestic covert operations.
In many cases, the official version of these just falls
to the ground. It's untenable. So we have all of that,
(53:39):
and that, I guess you'd have to point to the economics.
Maybe this could be merged under the first one. Maybe
I should do that. But the idea that you would
want to keep some semblance of personal dignity and a
decent standard of living, which you never hear about or
(54:00):
seldom here about these days. But the idea would be,
if you've paid into Medicare all your life, you have
a right to it. That's your money. If you paid
all your life into Social Security, that's your money. If
you're poor and destitute, Medicaid has to be there for you.
(54:23):
If you're old and destitute, children's healthcare has to be
provided by the government. That's Medicaid again once again. Notice
that the ones they're attacking, you've got to be able
to get food stamps, You've got to be able to
get all kinds of other assistant You've got a pelgrant.
(54:47):
If you want to go to college, you've got to
have free, universal, quality, public compulsory quality public education. All right,
