Over the long weekend before the Mississippi and Michigan
primaries, the sky above Sea Island was black with corporate jets.
Apple’s Tim Cook, Google’s Larry Page and Eric Schmidt,
Napster’s Sean Parker, Tesla Motors’ Elon Musk, and other members of the
super-rich were jetting in to the exclusive Georgia resort, ostensibly to
participate in the annual World Forum of the American Enterprise Institute.
Among the advertised topics of discussion: “Millennials:
How Much Do They Matter and What Do They Want?”
That was the cover story.
As revealed by the Huffington Post, Sea Island last
weekend was host to a secret conclave...
* NOT SO "SECRET" ANY MORE!
(*GUFFAW*)
...at the Cloisters where oligarchs colluded with Beltway
elites...
* BELTWAY SCUMBAGS...
...to reverse the democratic decisions of millions of
voters and abort the candidacy of Donald Trump.
Among the journalists at Sea Island were Rich Lowry of
National Review...
* PUNDIT - NOT "JOURNALIST."
...which just devoted an entire issue to the topic:
“Against Trump,” and Arthur Sulzberger, publisher of the Trumphobic New York
Times.
Bush guru Karl Rove of FOX News was on hand, as were
Speaker Paul Ryan, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Sen. Lindsey Graham,
dispatched by Trump in New Hampshire and a berserker on the subject of the
Donald.
(*SNORT*)
(*JUST SHAKING MY HEAD*)
(*SPITTING ON THE FLOOR*)
So, too, was William Kristol, editor of the rabidly
anti-Trump Weekly Standard, who reported back to comrades: “The key task now,
to … paraphrase Karl Marx, is less to understand Trump than to stop him.”
Kristol earlier tweeted that the Sea Island conclave is
“off the record, so please do consider my tweets from there off the record.”
(*SNORT*)
Redeeming itself for relegating Trump to its
entertainment pages, the Huffington Post did the nation a service in lifting
the rug on “something rotten in the state.”
* YEP! THANK YOU HUFFPOST! CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE!
What we see at Sea Island is that, despite all their
babble about bringing the blessings of “democracy” to the world’s benighted,
AEI, Neocon Central, believes less in democracy than in perpetual control of
the American nation by the ruling Beltway elites.
If an outsider like Trump imperils that control,
democracy be damned. The elites will come together to bring him down, because,
behind party ties, they are soul brothers in the pursuit of power.
* EXACTLY!
Something else was revealed by the Huffington Post — a
deeply embedded corruption that permeates this capital city. The American
Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research is a 501(c)(3) under IRS rules,
an organization exempt from U.S. taxation. Million-dollar corporate
contributions to AEI are tax-deductible. This special privilege, this freedom
from taxation, is accorded to organizations established for purposes such as
“religious, educational, charitable, scientific, literary … or the prevention
of cruelty to children or animals.”
What the co-conspirators of Sea Island were up at the
Cloisters was about as religious as what the Bolsheviks at that girls school
known as the Smolny Institute were up to in Petrograd in 1917.
From what has been reported, it would not be extreme to
say this was a conspiracy of oligarchs, War Party neocons, and face-card
Republicans to reverse the results of the primaries and impose upon the party,
against its expressed will, a nominee responsive to the elites’ agenda.
(*NODDING*)
And this taxpayer-subsidized “Dump Trump” camarilla
raises even larger issues.
(*STILL NODDING*)
Now America is not Russia or Egypt or China. But all
those countries are now moving purposefully to expose U.S. ties to "non-governmental
organizations" set up and operating in their capital cities. Many of those
NGOs have had funds funneled to them from U.S. agencies such as the National Endowment
for Democracy, which has backed “color-coded revolutions” credited with dumping
over regimes in Serbia, Ukraine and Georgia.
In the early 1950s, in Iran and Guatemala, the CIA of the
Dulles brothers did this work.
Whatever one thinks of Vladimir Putin, can anyone blame
him for not wanting U.S. agencies backing NGOs in Moscow, whose unstated goal
is to see him and his regime overthrown?
* NOPE!
And whatever one thinks of NED and its subsidiaries, it
is time Americans took a hard look at the tax-exempt foundations, think tanks
and public policy institutes operating in our capital city.
* NO... MORE... TAXPAYER... SUBSIDIES!
How many are like AEI, scheming to predetermine the
outcome of presidential elections while enjoying tax exemptions and posturing
as benign assemblages of disinterested scholars and seekers of truth?
(*BITING MY LOWER LIP*)
How many of these tax-exempt think tanks are fronts and
propaganda organs of transnational corporations that are sustained with
tax-deductible dollars, until their “resident scholars” can move into
government offices and do the work for which they have been paid handsomely in
advance?
* YEP...
(*SIGHING*)
* IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP, FOLKS; THIS IS A CANCER THAT HAS
BEEN GROWING WITHIN THE BODY POLITIC. WE MUST CUT IT OUT!
How many of these think tanks take foreign money to
advance the interests of foreign regimes in America’s capital?
* GOOD... FRIGGIN'... QUESTION!
We talk about the “deep state” in Turkey and Egypt, the
unseen regimes that exist beneath the public regime and rule the nation no
matter the president or prime minister. What about the “deep state” that rules
us, of which we caught a glimpse at Sea Island?
A diligent legislature of a democratic republic would
have long since dragged America’s deep state out into the sunlight.
* OUR FEDERAL LEGISLATURE IS A HUGE PART OF THE PROBLEM!
AGAIN... BOTH RYAN AND MCCONNELL WERE "GUESTS" OF THE OLIGARCHS!
(INDEED... A GREAT FOLLOW-UP INVESTIGATIVE PIECE WOULD FOCUS ON HOW RYAN'S AND
MCCONNELL'S EXPENSES WERE COVERED... DETAILS...)
