Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts
First I offer more explanation why Trump is our last chance despite his incorrect positions on some issues, and despite his incompetence in his first term in staffing his administration and failure to stand behind General Flynn, thus setting off Russiagate and marking himself for failure.
As I predicted, Trump took on the ruling establishment without an administration committed to the task. Trump’s appointees, which include the current FBI director, could not have been any worse. In effect, Trump doomed himself to failure and persecution.
Trump permitted himself to be buffaloed by Fauci and the media and endorsed vaccination with the deadly and health-destroying mRNA “Covid vaccines.”
Trump blamed China for trade imbalances, not Wall Street and the offshoring corporations who forced the shutdown of American manufacturing and its movement to China and other parts of Asia. Trump’s misunderstanding and hostility toward China played directly into the hands of the neoconservatives, who are risking all of our lives with their confrontations with Russia.
I could go on, but it is clear that Trump’s administration saddled him with misguided policies.
So why do I say he is our last chance?
My answer is that Trump understands that the American Establishment runs things for them, not for the American people. Trump has the independence, means, and courage to stand up to those who have stolen our country.
Trump has been persecuted for seven years by the American Establishment using the media and Department of Justice (sic) to prevent Trump from representing Americans by confronting Trump with an orchestrated “Russiagate, two orchestrated House impeachments, an orchestrated “January 6 insurrection,” an orchestrated “documents gate,” a felony prosecution without basis by the corrupt Democrat NY Justice (sic) system, and with a pending second false prosecution from Democrat Fulton County, Georgia.
When a person stands forth in defense of the liberties and livelihoods of the American people and receives punishment of this magnitude, and the American people do not rally to him and stand by him, the people are doomed. If the American people accept the official narrative about Donald Trump they have signed a death warrant for their own liberty.
The message that the blatantly false accusations against an American President sends to all future candidates is that your success depends on representing the establishment, not the people.

Trump brushes off concerns about COVID jab injuries at campaign event: ‘Everyone wanted a vaccine’
‘I was able to do something that nobody else could have done, getting it done very, very rapidly,’ Trump said about developing the COVID shots, adding that ‘there’s a big portion of the country that thinks that was a great thing.

I personally read your comments as an attempt to excuse your own apathy.
Trump was unable to dislodge 100 years of corruption, graft, and downright criminal activity, so that failure was his alone?
I’d like to see you take a job where everyone in the company, save the person who hired you, was actively sabotaging you, and still have any semblance of success.
I’m no Trump fan, far from it, but at least be able to see the forest for the trees. Sheesh.
Personally I think the only way through this is to crash and burn, but that’s going to be horribly painful for everyone. I’d like to see a better path forward and if someone like Trump can provide it, that’d be great. Otherwise we’re all in for a world of hurt.
Just Sayin’
Just sayin’ your assumptions are wrong. Judge yourself and don’t assume what I think or believe.
Trump did NOTHING that wasn’t overturned the FIRST DAY of OBidens term, and successive days after. It was sugar coating and no lasting change. A lot of incitement and excitement over power point nothings, but no lasting change whatsoever. Trump did this. Trump did that. Drain the swamp!!! lol. Nothing of lasting benefit. It’s obvious if people pop their illusions and delusions and take a real hard look.
Really. WHY NOT concentrate on all the ‘Good’ he did?
drumpf WAS “The Apprentice”. Got the starring role. As pretend opposition. Used all the B.S. as an excuse as to why he could not get anything done.
ONLY took him 2+ years to get back on ‘Social Media’? AFTER the fact.
But @ least he got jared’s daddy a pardon, along with many other ‘stellar’ citizen’s of the realm*.
But, By ALL Means, Vote. Harder!
*Assange/Snowden
Just saying you got no idea how our government works obviously.
I’d like to see you take a job where everyone in the company, save the person who hired you, was actively sabotaging you, and still have any semblance of success.
He wasn’t smart or aware enough to know what needed to be done. We have been at emergency level need for cleaning house since JFK assasination.
It is clear what needs to be done and NONE of the candidates are talking about it. Trump is either part of the cabal or he is too stupid to know what needs to be done.
ALL .gov workers in ALL branches are violating the Constitution every working day of their lives. The gov has been overthrown by criminals. It is totally obvious what needs to be done.
No. No, we didn’t. We wanted our lives back and were told the ONLY way we could have that was by taking an untested-unproven concoction of dubious efficacy. The people telling us that were Trump and his minions like Fauci, etc.
Some of us chose to not participate in the farce at the expense of our financial and emotional well being.
of course he does…and he’ll rule accordingly. As he did before, as they ALL do. Who lines their pockets?
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss…….
Trump Owns Stock in Pfizer and Drug Companies Producing Gender-Affirming Therapies and Hormone Blockers
lol. The down voter must be an “Always Trumper. Trump! Trump! Trump! He’ll save us!”
Hint: He didn’t ‘save us’ before, when in office.
Did he suddenly become a god?
Even Trump cannot delay the inevitable. Even “if” he really hugely wanted to.
Trump was the victim of a color revolution carried out by his own administration. If he can’t get a handle on that, he needs to stay on the golf course
He is a better actor than he has been credited. He should have won an oscar.
Long before he was President.
He’s a Con Man, fake and Gay.
It’s got that take the guns/ land first , then due process second feeling to it.
Now we’re talkin’. While the dude with the bagpipes does not appear to be…Muslims in Scotland are OK. Hairbrained much? I really do need to forget Trump.
Last Chance. PCR?
Clean off that glass navel and you’ll see clearer.
lol. The down voter must be an “Always Trumper. Trump! Trump! Trump! He’ll save us!”
Hint: He didn’t ‘save us’ before, when in office.
Did he suddenly become a god?
Donald Trump is an ACTOR, he played the role of president like all the rest do.
Is this the Babylon Bee?
Maybe he is hoping for a position in the new Trump admin?
Trump stands up for the American people?
Only Q tards would believe that.
Well, it’s official…Paul’s brain is calcifying. You gots da dementia, buddy!
PCR; Donald J. Trump LOCKED-FUCKING-DOWN the United States of America and is the father of “Big Beautiful Vaccines”.
How were those actions “standing up” for the American people?
Yes, I am torn, b/c trump did some of what he said he would do, the repubs house and Senate got jack shit done like always, so the pants shitter was able to reverse everything. Lockdown was hard, firstime since I was 12 I couldn’t work. Of course the Biden mandate almost got me fired. But the wonderful vaccine is still floating around. Will need to vet desantis, seems to have done good with Florida, but most likely as good as bush, dole,bush,McCain, Romney, Clinton Obama, and whoever the crap that dominion selected. The one that can’t walk. (Still makes me laugh)
Haven’t decided, but I pretty much done with repubs, won’t vote democrat, might be 1st year I sit out since I was 18. Never lived in a state my vote mattered, Kansas before they went crazy, Texas and Mississippi, but they trying hard to screw us all. And the democrats of course. Don’t want to a part of democrat kinda-light
Someone pointed out Trump’s SCOTUS appointees overturning of Roe vs Wade. That is a good thing. Kudos to Trump for the appointees. But then how does one appoint SCOTUS judges that overturn Roe vs Wade then host a LGBT Gala at Mar-a-Lago? Very strange IMO because I’m betting a huge majority of LGBTers are not opposed to abortion.
Signed,
I Don’t Get That LGBT Thing

Dear Mr. Roberts,
GO. FUCK. YOURSELF.

Trump is being used by the plutocratic miscreants who run this country as an example to anyone who dares go against their agenda and demonstrate exactly what they will do to them short of murder. Keep in mind over the years these miscreants sabotaged and undermined Bernie Sanders, Ron Paul, Tulsi Gabbard Marianne Williamson and a host of others to get to Joe Biden and put him in the White House. The fact Trump had no real ideology, no grasp of geopolitics, who the real shot callers are and no group he could depend on for advice, backing and guidance hurt him badly. The way “the system” works even with a Republican majority (most of whom were beholden to corporations and lobbyists for bribes aka donations even if he had truly America first nominees for cabinet positions, they would not have been approved anyway!
Trump did some good things: he stopped funding for the World Health Organization ( which ultimately helped doom him) he questioned and exposed NATO as a needless relic and he cast aspersions on the corporate media. He was not a warmonger but ultimately his “base” did not have his back when the Deep State attempted to take him down all those people wearing MAGA hats cheering wildly stood back and did nothing! January 6 was a set up the Deep State used to further demonize Trump and his supporters.
The sad part is Americans have not learned the lesson! We are still seeking heroes to save us, good guy, honest politicians to somehow salvage this thoroughly corrupt system, which is not going to happen. We have to figure out how to derail the Empire, restore sanity and inspire courage so more people are willing to stand up , resist and keep us from going headlong into the hellishness the plutocrats plan for us.
Another one that doesn’t understand how out government works. Good grief
Until the very nature of our currency is changed, nothing will change fundamentally. A corrupt money corrupts everything is touches. The current model of banking and currency is based on the Bank of England model, founded in 1694. Benjamin Franklin stated that the main reason for the American Revolutionary War was the insistence by George III that the American colonies accept Bank of England banknotes, which were issued as promissory notes, rather than use the increasingly successful American fiat script, issued by the colonies in the CORRECT quantity and not bearing debt! We must be prepared for a new monetary system, an honest one, when our present debt-based banking cartel collapses. Kindly read and critique this proposed Constitutional Amendment. But first, a little background…
From “The Truth in Money Book” by Theodore R. Thorsen and Richard F Warner:
QUOTE Someone had to borrow at usury to bring that money [checkbook balances, bills and coins] into existence. The money goes out of existence as the usury and the debt principal are paid back to the bank. These amounts are huge: several billion dollars go out of existence each day. [Actually this money goes into the reserve accounts of the Federal Reserve Banks, out of the hands of the public! This book was first printed in November 1980. The amounts which are withdrawn presently are much larger.] If the money is not replaced with new loans, a shortage occurs. Soon individuals and businesses experience serious cash flow problems. These result in more and more loan applications to banks—the only place where money is being created to replenish the supply” UNQUOTE
Here is one possible solution—-To Hell with Fractional-Reserve Debt-Based Banking Constitutional Amendment
(1) Rescind the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 and rename existing Federal Reserve notes and check book balances, in all U.S. banking and credit-creating institutions as well as foreign holdings of dollars, on a 1-to-1 basis, as U.S. Treasury Dollars and U.S.Treasury-Denominated bank balances. All currently existing financial contracts of the Federal Reserve Banking System, including United States Treasury Bills, Notes, Bonds, and Inflation-Protected Securities, remain in effect.
(2) Henceforward, ex nihilo credit creation by banking and financial institutions in the United States is prohibited. Loans are required to originate from previous savings of U.S. Treasury Dollars and U.S. Treasury-Denominated bank balances from accounts only authorized by account holders for lending purposes. Each loan is held in and paid from a specified, sequestered loan account by the various financial institutions, with interest charges and term limits for each loan to be determined solely by the bank management and the contracting party. Non-cash reserves held in the regional Federal Reserve Banks in accounts of the member institutions of the Federal Reserve System no longer form the basis for credit creation and are extinguished via accounting erasure. Any further payments of principal and interest on currently-existing promissory notes owned by any bank are required to be distributed to holders of savings accounts and checking accounts in that bank in a manner to be determined by each bank, such procedures to be transparent to savings or checking account holders at that bank in terms of amount and frequency of payment. Regional Federal Reserve Banks continue to provide check-clearing operations for the member banks.
(3) Monetary transactions of the regional Federal Reserve banks or of its member banks with international banks, including the Bank of International Settlements and the International Monetary Fund, can not include ex nihilo credit creation.
(4) The U.S. Treasury supplies Treasury Dollars as needed to any member bank of the Federal Reserve system to satisfy demands for cash by deposit and savings account holders in excess of cash reserves held by banks at the time of enactment of this amendment.
(5) Fund the U.S. government and its agencies and projects directly via Treasury Dollars authorized by the Congress in its yearly federal budget. The borrowing of money from the Federal Reserve system of banks or from other institutions or individuals to pay for federal government expenditures is prohibited. All outstanding Treasury Securities are henceforward redeemed on demand via payment with U.S. Treasury Dollars.
(6) Abolish the Federal Income Tax on individuals, corporations, and business enterprises while maintaining a social security tax on individual incomes. Social security retirement revenues are strictly sequestered in Federal Government Retirement Accounts held by the U.S. Treasury and managed by the Social Security Administration. The Sixteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is hereby rescinded and the Internal Revenue Service disbanded.
(7) Institute a federal sales tax with a varying yearly tax rate adjusted by the U.S. Congress in session, the sole aim of such adjustments being to maintain a stable or decreasing Consumer Price Index based on data collected by the Federal Government. Any such federal sales taxes taken in by the Federal Government are extinguished from the currency supply to keep the Consumer Price Index stable or decreasing and are not utilized for further funding.
(8) Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution is amended to read as follows: The Congress shall have Power to collect customs duties on imports and exports, uniformly applied throughout the United States, and to provide for the Defence and general Welfare of the United States.
(9) Article 1, Section 8, Clause 2 of the U. S. Constitution is rescinded.
(10) The adoption of this amendment does not prohibit the use by the citizens of the United States of any alternative currencies they should choose to use in their private or commercial transactions, provided both parties to the transaction agree to the medium of exchange. http://www.LetJusticePrevailThoughTheHeavensFall.com
