Working class in US has spoken

THE Brexit-like shock I predicated has come about. As with the British public prior to the Brexit vote, the American public was misled and manipulated into believing that Hillary Clinton was far ahead in the polls.

This was achieved by the oversampling of Democratic Party voters, anti-Donald Trump demographics and other mainstream media tricks.

Working-class Americans are angry. They are seeing through the politically correct hysteria about Trump’s words to clearly see what is behind Clinton’s actions.

They have come to realise that it doesn’t matter if their president is a Democrat, Republican, black, white or even a woman, the American president is simply a chauffeur taking directions from the powerful and unseen powers sitting at the back of the proverbial US government limousine.

They have come to realise that these powers will always operate to feed America’s military-industrial complex through war-mongering in the Middle East and sabre rattling at Russia.

They will always enrich US-EU banking elites by keeping interest rates at near zero levels, thus punishing elderly pensioners and feeding cheap money into the Wall Street casino.

More importantly, these elites will always act to impoverish ordinary working-class Americans by allowing the relocation of industries to low-wage countries and by allowing rampant and uncontrolled migration into the country by people who are happy to work for $7 an hour.

It is against this background that African American unemployment has nearly doubled despite the efforts of the Obama administration. Trump’s election marks a powerful blow against the elites wishing to establish a global “New World Order”.

His main challenge now will be to avoid assassination like JFK or Ronald Reagan. After all, both these presidents wished to make “America great again”.
