Do not confuse the “Trump Revolution” with Trump himself. The people are sick and tired of the same old nonsense. Trump just so happened to be there at the right time. This is a revolution of the people — not Trump! I have stated many times that if Trump did anything out of line or unconstitutional, I would call him out in a second. Trump did something really amazing that I would have thought was impossible. He effectively ran as a third party candidate from within the Republican Party. He altered the party and they still do not respect that. My inside sources say the Republicans think they just have to train him. They are not looking at why he won any more than the Democrats are.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis. So each time you visit the site, I would ask that you consider the value that you receive and have received from The Burning Platform and the community of which you are a vital part. I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive. Please consider contributing an amount commensurate to the value that you receive from this site and community, or even by becoming a sustaining supporter through periodic contributions.

I find it interesting that the people he is bringing in are not politicians. That is encouraging. Bringing in Goldman Sachs and Sullivan & Cromwell gives me tremendous pause that he is really draining the swamp, and he may not even know what he has done. I have gotten a lot of emails on this, for they had no idea about Sullivan & Cromwell. He comes from real estate — not investment banking or trading. He certainly has not rubbed shoulders with these people as I have. So I am willing to wait and see.
However, I have worked behind the curtain for more than 30 years. I have seen politics raw and close up. I do what I do today because it is clear to me that you cannot change anything from inside. I am neither Republican nor Democrat. I see no difference between the two behind the curtain because it always boils down to “show me the money.”
The danger Trump also brings is that his failure to deliver promises may lead to the total collapse of the political system. We have Trump because of Obama’s failures. Since he was the first black president, hopes for change were high, but his total failure to change anything from the NSA to giving the innocent people at Guantanamo Bay a fair trial of any kind demonstrated that either Obama was a grand liar and never intended to deliver change, or he succumbed to the establishment.
Obama completely failed to deliver “Change we can believe in.” Now the same test will be applied to Trump. If someone who ran against the elite Republicans also succumbs to the establishment, this is all over. Trump has the opportunity to slow the collapse for a brief period and demonstrate to the world that socialism is our downfall. If he fails to show the world by example, then the decline that is coming will be steep.
We cannot alter the cycle. What I do believe is possible has to do with the volatility. Trump can lower the volatility that is coming by doing the right thing. It will be hard because the left is becoming very, very dangerous. If Trump succumbs to the establishment, I fear that the volatility will be the worst we have ever seen. The left will become violent and we may see street violence globally as these people fight to suppress and eliminate any of us who dare to disagree with them. You have nutjobs like Rosie O’Donald calling for Martial Law and overthrowing the Constitution. You have others calling for impeachment when you can only impeach someone for something they did in office – not prior to.
The left is just off the wall. The Sydney Morning Held in Australia said, “Donald Trump is a one-man basket of deplorables.” They went on to say, “One remote remedy is impeachment by the House and conviction by the Senate. It is, as it should be, a laborious process and requires provable acts of treason, bribery or other ‘high crimes and misdemeanours.’” None of that applies to anything someone does prior to office. The left are the most intolerant people you will ever encounter, yet they delude themselves to be fair and tolerant.
The article proposed another tactic. “Under the 25th Amendment to the Constitution, the vice-president, together with a ‘majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide’ can remove the president for being ‘unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.’ No doubt the mere mention of incapacitation would summon a horde of lawyers to Washington to contest it or the meaning of every term.”
The refusal to accept the election and just move on is obvious. This is dangerous for these are the very people who have historically revolted against, and murdered on a wholesale basis, anyone who disagrees with them. This is the danger we face moving forward.
The swamp that needs draining is the Deep State.

The Deep State may have already tried to poison Roger Stone.

Chances are the Deep State also killed Seth Rich.
Slightly off topic, but it looks like Hillary has a new (well, OK, recycled) theme song.

Although I take no exception with Armstrong’s graph of his ECM, my gripe is that its axes, especially the x-axis, are missing units. Including those units would pin him down to where on the time line we are or does he just consider it a moving target as events on the ground unfold? I concede that this criticism may be deemed priggish by some.
No it’s not priggish. You are right to imply that the graph has no meaning at all. A graph is meant to indicate a relationship between two variables. This graph does not do that. In fact, it only displays the pseudo science behind the authors writing. It is not true that we can not alter the cycle. There is no cycle.
