Donald Trump in 2017 said to television news commentator, Bill O’Reilly in regards to Putin being a killer,

“There are a lot of killers. We have a lot of killers. Well, you think our country is so innocent?”

O’REILLY retorted, “I don’t know of any government leaders that are killers.”

TRUMP: “Well — take a look at what we’ve done, too. We made a lot of mistakes. I’ve been against the war in Iraq from the beginning.”

O’REILLY: “Yes, mistakes are different than –”

TRUMP: “We made a lot of mistakes, OK, but a lot of people were killed. So, there’s a lot of killers around, believe me.”

David French then wrote in National Review,

“American forces go beyond the requirements of the laws of war to safeguard innocent life.”  (February 6, 2017)

You might read that again. You might not. And you might think that every war criminal in history could have said something similar. But you could not say that Donald Trump was wrong in saying what he did.

Today, however, Democrats have changed, and are often found reversing themselves on positions long held. The only thing we can be sure of is that high profile Democrats will put their lies behind the one candidate who will most easily be manipulated, and who will guarantee their route to wealth and power. Power is the goal. Truth, not so much. Truth, for them, is nothing other than what works for them.

Even the intrusive Leftist Brit who (wink, wink) calls himself a “centrist,” Roderick Stewart (Rory’s real name), has put out what he calls a “miniseries” which suggests Trump could never have won the Presidency by the strength of  prestige, personality and platfo6 without a bogeyman behind the curtain. This time it’s Rupert Murdock. It’s clear Trump has possessed Roderick to the point of deep exhaustion and rage. The dark circles under his eye makeup and nervous karate chops with his hands emerge often to tell.

The intellectual lineage of these New Democrats goes back not to FDR but, through the schools, to Antonio Gramsci, the cultural Marxist theorist, and Karl Marx. The new post-Kennedy Democrats are would-be collectivists in essence, which is why centralized Big Government is, more than ever, everything to them. Government is power. And they know that the laws will follow.

Trump on the other hand broke from the luminaries in the Grand Old Party because, having felt himself relentlessly chased by obedient media, lawfare hyenas, and leftist bullets for years, he knew that truth must win in the end. Because the times (and the Democrats) have changed. Man lives not by bread alone. And whizzing bullets flying past one’s head brings that truth home dearly.

Aldous Huxley was a man who lived close to power. And he was privy to the thinking of the elites in London, New York, and Washington. He wrote,

“…democracies will change their nature; the quaint old forms—elections, parliaments, Supreme Courts and all the rest—will remain. The underlying substance will be a new kind of totalitarianism. All the traditional names, all the hallowed slogans will remain exactly what they were in the good old days. Democracy and freedom will be the theme of every broadcast and editorial—but democracy and freedom in a strictly Pickwickian sense. Meanwhile the ruling oligarchy and its highly trained elite of soldiers, policemen, thought-manufacturers and mind-manipulators will quietly run the show as they see fit.” —Brave New World Revisited
