Our Prospects

Picture

Can Donald Trump be inaugurated as President next January? It appears that he has a majority of the voters in a majority of States. However, the Dark State is determined he will not return to the White House, and they already have perfected the art of stealing elections. Preventing election fraud will have to overcome the courts, the media, and the Republican “mainstream” leadership. It is a big job that nobody may be ready for. These are not normal times.

The Republican elite cares nothing for the grassroots and never have. They destroyed Goldwater’s chances even before he was nominated. They successfully controlled Reagan. They wrecked Trump’s administration and re-election and there is no evidence that they will not do so again.

In an interview, Tuck Carlson hinted to Trump about the possibility of assassination. Trump properly dodged the hint but such a thing cannot be ruled out because the Democratic party and its street thugs are now in full Leninist mode. Thus he must be very careful about the Vice-Presidential choice. It must be somebody new, really able, and dedicated to his goals. Appointing a usual empty-suit respectable Republican hack will be fatal, but there will be tremendous party pressure to do so.

Being inaugurated will be just the beginning of the crisis. It appears that Trump has learned something about personnel since his first failure. He will have to find very good, dedicated, smart people if any reform is to succeed. It will require massive knowledge and effort in all parts of the federal machine to make any headway at all. Such good people are available—but they will need to be identified and placed. It will require massive defiance of the bureaucrats, including ruthless reduction of their power by executive orders and reinterpretation of laws. It may require defiance of corrupt judges.

We can hope that it will give us a downsizing of military commitments. With two phone calls a President Trump can broker an end to the Ukraine war. It will take a little longer to rollback all our worldwide interference in other countries. We cannot expect much improvement in the Middle East. Trump is the most Zionist President we have ever had, although it got him no support.

Wherever possible there will be a need to appoint good prosecuting attorneys. They will also have to be dedicated people. There are countless illegal acts by officials and activist groups in the last 20 years that should be prosecuted. Here again the good people are out there, but they will have to be identified and appointed. All the Soros district attorney criminals below the federal level is another question.

Will a Republican Congress go along with any of this? Or the Supreme Court? Certainly the media, the bureaucrats including the paper generals, and the Democrats, already in full destructive mode, will not. Our prospects of serious reform of the Dark State are small.

​I predict those “interesting times” that sensible people hope to avoid.

Excellent as always, Professor Wilson.

Another possibility that might emerge is that there will be no election at all. We could witness another "pandemic," or we could find ourselves in an open conflict in Ukraine, Taiwan, Gaza or all three, giving the uniparty and Biden an excuse to suspend or postpone the election. All for our own good, of course, as our agitprop media will relentlessly remind us. Then again, as we know, donors decide elections, not voters, so maybe it is all moot.

Dr Wilson, Trump should select Thomas Massie as his VP, but he won't, because Massie is not a Zionist. And the war profiteers hate him.

As often you do, Dr. Wilson, you have read my mind.

He will absolutely encounter cloaked resistance once again and have to be suspicious of those around him. Not a pleasant position to be in. As the Radical deep state was quite powerful by late 1864, Lincoln's days were likely numbered as more severe punishment for the South was desired. Imagine if Horatio Seymour had been elected president instead of Grant - and the assassins he would have been surrounded by. Grant was of course boosted by the freedman vote. Home of the brave, land of the free.
