George W. Bush Hurls Establishment “Doublespeak” At Trump

Originally Posted at Free Market Shooter; Guest Post by Yung Nixon

America’s 43rd President George W. Bush delivered Thursday morning what many are calling a “savage takedown of Trump.” I’ll explain why George Bush’s message was successful, but not as an anti-Trump tirade. (full transcript here)

“Bigotry seems emboldened. Our politics seems more vulnerable to conspiracy theories and outright fabrication,” former President Bush declared, in his address at the eponymous George W. Bush institute.

“We’ve seen nationalism distorted into nativism.” Bush said. “We have seen insolvency, economic stagnation, youth unemployment, anger about immigration, resurgent ethno-nationalism, and deep questions about the meaning and durability of the European Union.”

Bush seems to address Trump’s media-made perception of intolerant and nativistic jingoism. What else could he be referring to one could reasonably ask. It must be Trump!

Too often our American establishment media paints Trump with the broad brush of bigotry, with blinders to any other shade or flavor which bigotry entails. However, Bush’s anti-bigotry speech either misses Trump’s message entirely — or Bush is referencing a wider type of bigotry.

Here’s an example of George W. Bush’s confused mixed-messaging:

Bigotry in any form is blasphemy against the American creed and it means the very identity of our nation depends on the passing of civic ideals to the next generation. We need a renewed emphasis on civic learning in schools,” Bush said.

Perhaps that civic education can begin now. In September 2016 the 45th President of the United States made the statement, “Americanism not globalism will be our credo!”

Watch:

So one asks, is Trump blaspheming against the American creed? Or is he favoring Americanism over globalism in the civic sense? I argue civic, and this is made clear because Trump says “Americanism” and not “ethno-nationalism” over and over. Curiously, no matter how often Trump says it, his critics seem to hear a dog whistle of ethno-nationalist sentiment.

Does Bush really lack sympathy for Trump’s media onslaught? — Especially after he suffered his own onslaught of racial attacks following Kanye West’s notorious Hurricane Katrina barb, declaring “Bush doesn’t care about black people!”

//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js

Here again Trump delivers an obvious rebuttal of George Bush’s scarecrow. “Through our loyalty to our country, we will rediscover our loyalty to each other.” Trump said during his record setting inaugural speech. “When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice.”

Again, I’m left wondering, where is the meat of Bush’s message? Why does Bush feel emboldened to decry rising bigotry and blasphemy against the American creed? Did he watch coverage of Puerto Rico’s hurricane devastation and believe the same Kanye-esque media narrative levied against Trump in San Juan?

It doesn’t appear that Bush is appealing to patriotism at all. He’s pushing the same failed narrative about Globalism while praying his audience is as stupid as when the 2nd Iraq invasion began.

Here is the moment where George W. Bush’s motives glimmer through his false pretense:

“People are hurting. They’re angry and they’re frustrated. We must help them,” he said. “But we cannot wish globalization away, any more than we could wish away the Agricultural Revolution or the Industrial Revolution.”

Which kind of globalization is so inevitable in Bush’s eyes? Is it the type where a global community can give input into a presidential election? Like, with bot accounts on Twitter? Is it a type of globalization that encourages illegal immigration because legal immigration is not enough? Why should corporations have global free speech but not Russian bots? And what of British and Canadian bots which spread anti-Trump pro-Hillary propaganda? Which of these sentiments does Bush espouse?

None of the above.

This isn’t about allegiance to the American creed at all, it’s about allegiance to the ‘New World Order’ Bush Sr. set into motion. Just as Iraq’s second war was a “finish what daddy started” farce enabled by a complicit and fear mongering press.

Please remember that Saddam Hussein never had WMDs, it was all a lie. In typical Bush-Clinton doublespeak, what’s really being said amounts to we can’t change course, we have no plan B, so we’ll rebrand our failing globalist scheme as the ‘American Creed 2.0’.

The doublespeak continues throughout George W. Bush’s address:

“We see a fading confidence in the value of free markets and international trade – forgetting that conflict, instability, and poverty follow in the wake of protectionism.”

Are we really moving toward protectionism? Is bilateral trade really so different from multilateralism? Was leaving the TPP a nail in the coffin for future one-on-one trade deals with individual nations? No, of course not.

Protectionism is not the issue here. Expecting mutual benefits from international deals is not protectionism. It’s dignified behavior befitting a global super power. America has simply stopped throwing babies out with bathwater anytime an international treatise is invented. We want to place ourselves first in our dealings. We encourage any involved parties to place themselves first as well. Mutual numero unos makes for great bilateral negotiations.

And as a result, the American economy keeps growing, unemployment is decreasing, and poverty-addled welfare requests are decreasing. Good!

“We have seen the return of isolationist sentiments – forgetting that American security is directly threatened by the chaos and despair of distant places, where threats such as terrorism.”

Didn’t Trump just approve a massive arms deal to the Saudis? Didn’t US allied forces just liberate Raqqa from ISIS? What dangerous far flung corner of the world has Trump not yet addressed? Surely Bush means we should build a wall to prevent our neighboring narco-terrorism from flooding deeper into our heartland? Perhaps Trump seems unusual to Bush because Trump is willing to address real world threats. Not just those the CIA invents for him.

“In all these ways, we need to recall and recover our own identity. Americans have a great advantage: To renew our country, we only need to remember our values.”

I think Bush would re-write the pledge of allegiance:

[perfectpullquote align=”full” cite=”Bush, Probably, Maybe” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=””]“I pledge allegiance, to the Globe, of the United Nations utopia, and to the dumb public, on which it stands, one party, indivisible, with poverty and surveillance for all.”[/perfectpullquote]

For all his irrelevant musings, there is one quote from Bush’s speech that engenders resounding populist agreement:

“Freedom is not merely a political menu option, or a foreign policy fad; it should be the defining commitment of our country, and the hope of the world.”

And it is my hope — after decades of corrupt single part rule — that my children, and my neighbors children, can escape this dystopian establishment and experience true American freedom.

While I strongly disliked Barack Obama’s policies, I disliked George W. Bush’s even more. Bush may have been a puppet of the neocons, but he bears responsibility for an illegal, immoral, and foolhardy war which killed thousands of US troops, crippled many more, and killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians over WMDs which didn’t exist and support for Al-Qaeda/OBL which didn’t happen.

For him of all people to talk about conspiracy theories is rich.

8 years of silence under Obama and now calls Trump had his supporters divisive racist bigots without even having the personal integrity to actually say “Trump” as he does it.

Trump has very simply forced everyone everywhere to show exactly who and what they are. There is no longer anything kept secret that will not be revealed.

True. Had one “friend” decide not to talk to me anymore because he says I’m turning into a fascist. Another won’t be as direct and courageous, but she (yep, she’s a woman – maybe I’m sexist, but I don’t care) is not talking to me anymore either.

The woman is a socially conservative Ivy League graduate who admitted to me she’s from an Ivory Tower background, naive (won’t admit it and thinks being naive equals being intellectually unimpressive), anti-guns, voted for Hillary Clinton, dislikes Trump because he grabbed genitals (admittedly crass, but no reply when I asked her about all the nonwhite women who were killed, raped, orphaned, deprived of family, crippled, left to die in the Middle East thanks to Hillary’s foreign policy), and thinks Trump was wrong to condemn the “alt-left” at Charlottesville.

I’m actually pleased to know where people stand. Not so much because I see their true colors, but rather because it shows me who is still willing to consider me a friend despite my views. Interestingly, the old-timers I knew before the Internet, and those who I knew before Obama’s presidency, before Facebook existed (10 years or more of friendship) know what I believe and it doesn’t bother them.

Time is too precious to be wasted on people who claim to stand for tolerance while being intolerant.

I view this woman as a good example of otherwise decent and actually quite intelligent people who also received high-quality educations who at the same time lack the willingness, the courage, or whatever other trait, to think outside the box.

While I voted for Trump, am a conservative, love the 2nd Amendment, and am very critical of BLM, BAMN, Antifa, etc., I am not the type who thinks everything done by those “on my team” is always right any more than I think everyone on the left is utterly incapable of good decisions.

She however appears to engage in these mental blocks which are probably due out of pride. When I confronted her with Hillary’s murderous foreign policy and how it affected nonwhites (especially nonwhite women), she sarcastically thanked me for my opinion. And when in 2016 she expressed disgust at Trump’s defense of Saddam Hussein because he persecuted terrorists and felt Trump was a threat to the Constitution, I blunted told her that the NDAA (which Barack Obama signed – she was a huge fan of his and was saddened by his departure from the presidency) contained a provision (Section 1021) which gives the sitting chief executive the (unconstitutional) authority to deploy U.S. troops on U.S. soil to conduct warrantless arrests and to detain indefinitely anybody simply suspected of terrorism.

She was shocked and scrambled to reply with something of substance: “Didn’t this start before Obama? Bush and Guantanamo?”

I was going to rip her apart but threw a soft sarcastic line: “Change we can believe in much?”

People like this have intellect, but they just refuse to investigate the claims people like me make. I surmise part of this comes from a certain elitist snobbery (she is as I wrote a graduate of an Ivy League university), and like many like and unlike her, she doesn’t want to entertain the possibility that so much of what she’s believed to be irrefutable truths were lies… that she was suckered, conned, and had.

As such, it’s safer and more comfortable to hunker in one’s own bubble.

She’s not a SJW by any means, and unlike those Antifa degenerates, would never harm others. But she definitely wants to operate in her own “safe space.” I’ll do nothing to stop her – and I’ll keep my distance, since “deplorables” like me displease her with what she considers “false moral equivalencies.” (If she only knew what a tyrant, murderer, and racist Abraham Lincoln was… but the alt-left Trump condemned won’t touch Abe’s statues…)

Yes, the bible tells us this as well.

16No one lights a lamp and covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, he sets it on a lampstand, so those who enter can see the light. 17For there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed, and nothing concealed that will not be known and illuminated. 18Pay attention, therefore, to how you listen. Whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”…

Fuck George Bush. Both of them. They had 12 years between them to stop illegal immigration and they didn’t do shit about it because they liked it just fine. We expect a democrat to be for open borders, but establishment Republicans bullshit us about it – promising “more border security” – which we now understand to mean leaving the border wide open while some pointless drones fly overhead. Anyone who even says the word “drones” in the context of illegal immigration should be taken out and maimed. So then fatboy Jeb (“please clap”) tried to run on illegal immigration being an “act of love” and he got his fat ass drummed out of the race right after the South Carolina primary. Fuck the entire Bush family.

Do you believe they rolled out this touch hole to take a jab at Trump? Can they really be that fucking lost in the wilderness? Just who is it that gives a shit about his opinions? Beltway/establishment conservatives who already detest Trump? He begs for maintaining the system that impoverished the average American while he and his criminal brood (led by Poppy Bush-you know, the one trying to keep the JFK records under wraps-wonder why?) made more than they could spend in 10 lifetimes. I don’t give a shit about Trump but I love how in the primaries he rubbed Jeb Baby’s face in the horseshit like Neidermeyer did to Flounder. “Now drop and give me twenty! “But…but…” “HIT IT!!!!”

Cc,
Agreed. I often wonder what’s the end game. These people have billions and sits in their accounts. Their lifestyle would not change a damn bit if it was cut in half or doubled yet they continue to sell out our country, cause division amongst us all, for what? These are psychopaths and sociopaths and they all need to be removed from power. The only reason we still exist and remain viable is due to the second amendment. That scares the shit outta them all. However, that too shall pass probably before I do unfortunately. We are truly in a fourth turning. It abounds and is surreal.

” These are psychopaths and sociopaths, and they all need to be removed from power.”

I’m sure we all agree, unfortunately you can’t use a corrupt system that is controlled by psychopaths, to remove all the corrupt psychopaths from positions of power!

Hell, the first move they made was to work their way into Government to insulate themselves from prosecution.

But if you want to, use the corrupt system, and when these Elitists are brought before the court, we will wait for the guilty verdict, but it will not come, and they will all walk free.

Then those of you that brought these charges against them, will one day miraculously disappear, and never be heard from again.

But don’t worry, because if you served your Country well, at your funeral they will hand your grieving widow an American Flag folded in the shape of a pyramid, and they will expect her to say, Thank You.

I don’t know why, but for some reason the sheeple haven’t made the mental leap, that the one thing these psychopaths all have in common, is they all belong to some sort of secret society, and have infiltrated and infected every branch of Government with their NWO obsessions.

CC….Yes I do believe that they are rolling out the clowns to jab at Trump as the establishment principals in both parties are scared witless of him……..Why do think that the imbecilic women in the black congressional caucus are taking up the fight? They were told to and that they would be rewarded handsomely with “free sh*t” to hand out to their great unwashed……..So why not drag 43 off the Preston Hollow bench and demonstrate again his incompetence to a higher degree…….

Some things become evident by the forces who align as enemies.

When the globalists, Neo-cons, progressives, Clintons, Obamas and Bushs of the world are frothing out of their mouth, angry and speak derision against someone or something–there is a good chance that that person is not doing as the puppet masters wish.

James the Wanderer

As a snake, the elder Bush was a fairly good snake – former head of the CIA, globalist with power complex, kept secrets and made moves that he thought would make him (and, occasionally, America) richer and more powerful. Not much of a human being at times, but a fairly good snake.
Younger Bush never impressed me as much of anything – not a former spook, not really rich or powerful on his own, did little for America or anyone else (aside from starting stupid wars with the wrong enemies for the wrong reasons). America didn’t get richer or more powerful under younger Bush, and his opinions on anything don’t strike me as important.
Trump has got their attention – everyone from crazy lefties to CIA adders to MIC snakes to Congresscritters. They do not like him, they do not understand him and he’s already too rich to bribe (largely by his own efforts) so they have trouble containing him. Add to that, he seems to have some idea of what the _productive_ people of the country want, and that without them everyone would eventually starve.
That puts him miles ahead of the Bushes, Clintons and Obamas of this world.

The best thing to happen to America in 50 years is Trump’s straight talk and we can only hope it destroys the neocons in our government to usher the way in for real change. Change that will make us great and not divided by party or anything else. These republicons and demoncrats have for way too long being playing us all against each other far too long.

Trump has the keys to deep dark dangerous secrets. He just hasn’t figured out how to use them yet. This is the #1 threat to the establishment. This is why they are dragging out W and every other piece of shit they can throw at him. To distract and divert Trump’s attention from the elephant standing in the corner. They know when Trump is attacked he will attack back and create a spectacle, distracting him and others from that elephant.

The goal is to keep him on his heels and hope the clock times out before he figures it all out.
