Louis XIV was the absolutist; Louis XVI, who introduced reforms, is the one who paid with his head. There are other examples.<br /><br />It is as if the people say: “finally, an opening in the wall; let’s attack!” Of course, the result was generally positive in the experience of the USSR, rather negative in France.<br /><br />Let’s pray for a Soviet-style collapse; a French-style collapse would be nice to avoid.<br />bionic mosquitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002548958078731031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-72785561582766615892017-01-26T14:20:07.600-08:002017-01-26T14:20:07.600-08:00Whether or not he is conscious of his role, Trump ...Whether or not he is conscious of his role, Trump is America's Gorbachev. Gorbachev was a Communist who attempted to salvage socialism by ruling his subjects with a lighter touch than did his predecessors. He slackened the chain binding them to the state. Soviet socialism, an already doomed house of cards, was brought crashing down by Gorbachev's reforms.<br /><br />Similarly, the American economy is badly deformed by the Fed's credit creation, taxes and the alphabet agencies' pervasive regulatory chains. This is our unsteady house of cards vulnerable to a reform induced collapse. Also military industries will collapse if Trump cuts back on the Empire. Trump seems open to a 9/11 narrative other than the official one. Private investigators such as Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth have amassed considerable evidence that controlled demolition brought down the three towers on 9/11. Trump might order another investigation into 9/11 in order to consolidate his control ofv the nation's security apparatus. Definitive evidence of controlled demolition will call into question the rationale for every national security action carried out by Bush and Obama. The entire official national security narrative will be discredited in the minds of the public, bringing down much of the deep state.MetaCynicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-71856095961284988722017-01-25T16:16:57.561-08:002017-01-25T16:16:57.561-08:00Very well stated and summarized.

It's not about how libertarian Trump is (that's a stupid question, anyway) - it's about whether the government and its manufactured narrative is gaining or losing credibility among the masses. In the last year we have seen a seismic shift toward the loss of credibility.<br /><br />Boétie: "I do not ask that you place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over, but simply that you support him no longer; then you will behold him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away, fall of his own weight and break in pieces.”<br /><br />Trump didn't do this. But his being elected is a sign that this has been happening.C.

On the plus side, it is delicious to see him upset the status quo, bring greater ridicule to the whole notion of "government", expose the hypocrisy of Progressives and stimulate Progressives to talk about secession, nullification and the illegitimacy of the presidency.The NAPsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16631781625841157567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-8277844624403271022017-01-24T10:48:25.758-08:002017-01-24T10:48:25.758-08:00Well Donald is off to an AVERAGE start.

At least it's not Syria or worse Ukraine. <br /><br />Also Trump is sounding tough on the Chinese in the Satay Islands. Again at least it's not Hong Kong, Macau or Indochina.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
