If you ever learn one rule about how governments function today, it should be that political leaders are usually puppets and the real decision makers are almost never out in the open. The question is, how does one know for certain that this is the case with a specific leader? His rhetoric might be compelling, he probably knows every buzzword to spark your interest, and he might even throw you some legislative scraps from the table every once in a while to make you think that he's going to follow through on his campaign promises, but does he actually believe in the principles he originally championed?
The litmus test for any U.S. president is to examine the type of people he invites into his cabinet. Who does he surround himself with? The cabinet is the president's constant companion and decision-making team. The cabinet is looking over his shoulder and influencing everything he does. If you want to find who is pulling the strings of a president, this is a good place to start.

Once you identify the major players in the cabinet, it's important to discern what they want. What goals are they trying to squeeze out of a first or second term in the White House? What is the geopolitical or social trend they are creating through their influence? This should not be hard to read...

The problem with our current president, Donald Trump, is not that he is very different from previous presidents, but that he is very similar to them in many ways. While conservatives that v**ed for Trump did so most of all in the hopes that he would follow through on his promise to "drain the swamp," he has instead been actively filling the swamp with ever more slimy and parasitic creatures. Whenever one leaves the cabinet, they are replaced with another equally ghoulish character from a roster of banking elites, think tank sociopaths and g*******ts.

The Mueller Report has been a highly effective distraction for both l*****ts and conservatives when it comes to the true loyalties of Trump. So many Americans have been obsessed with the notion of whether or not the president is controlled by a foreign power they forgot to look for the real influencers right under the roof of the White House.

The notion that Trump could still function as some kind of freedom fighter while playing 10-dimensional chess with the elitists sitting comfortably within his own decision-making team is an incredibly absurd fantasy, but some people in the liberty movement still cling to this idea. Cognitive dissonance strikes when reality conflicts with what we want to see in the world, and we choose our ideal version of events over that reality.

One great danger is that a large number of conservatives will support Trump in actions that they would have once considered contrary to their principles because they want to believe he is something he is not. This includes the perpetuation of long running wars based on disinformation as well as the creation of new wars built on similar lies and with ulterior motives.

The veil on the Trump Administration is being slowly pulled away, perhaps not coincidentally at the same time that the Mueller Report circus has hit a crescendo. Only two days before the report was released Trump vetoed the "War Powers Act" passed by Congress, which removes U.S. support for Saudi Arabia's war in Yemen, a war that has gone utterly under-reported in the mainstream media even though death toll figures have recently been revised five times higher than originally indicated.

Constitutionally, no president is supposed to have the power to unilaterally declare war on another country, or to involve the U.S. in such wars covertly. Congress has quietly been ceding that authority over the past several decades. One would think that if Trump was a constitutionalist one of his first actions would be to voluntarily return constitutional powers to their original state before they were manipulated by elitists controlled politicians. But Trump rarely even mentions the word "constitution" in public, so expecting him to defend it might be a stretch.

The underlying suspicion in Trump's veto decision is that this is not just about Yemen, but about a war (or multiple wars) yet to be initiated. There are at least three major options on the table right now...

Iran
Everyone knows a war with Iran is coming eventually. The CIA led c**p to o*******wn democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh (a nationalist) and install the Shah (Mohammed Reza Pahlevi) directly resulted in the Iranian revolution in 1979. Every U.S. president and elitist cabinet since this event has tested the waters of public sentiment on a renewed conflict with Iran. So far they have not been able to find a rationale that the citizenry is willing to buy; either that, or they have simply been too busy perpetuating wars in other regions to get to Iran yet.

However, under Donald Trump the elites now have an opportunity, for now they have the option to launch wars without risking public blowback to their agenda. Confusing? Consider this — Trump has been painted as a conservative stalwart, a nationalist and populist extraordinaire that is vehemently anti-g*******t (even though his cabinet is packed with elites and g*******ts). As a puppet president, Trump is a perfect weapon. The establishment can now launch wars without being forced to construct ANY elaborate rationale, and then they can simply blame the resulting disasters on "populism" and conservatives in general.

Perhaps this is why tensions with Iran are now skyrocketing as the U.S. reasserts stifling sanctions and declares the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization. The U.S. is also set to end all waivers for Iranian oil exports and threatening economic retaliation against countries that ignore sanctions. This is expected to cause gasoline prices to spike even higher in the near term.

Iran has responded by declaring the U.S. a state sponsor of terrorism, and is threatening to shut down the Strait of Hormuz, which is one of the most important avenues for oil shipping in the world. I would also note that many European nations are not on board with higher oil prices and are seeking ways to circumvent Iran sanctions.

The effort to foment war with Iran has been spearheaded primarily by former Director of the CIA and current Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, along with CFR member John Bolton. They have insinuated that if Iran moves to block the Strait of Hormuz, war will result.

Venezuela
I have written extensively on the Venezuela situation in the past, including in my recent article 'Is Venezuela On The Verge Of Becoming Another Syria?' To summarize, Venezuela was already near collapse due to foolish socialist policies, but the elites have decided to help the South American country along with sanctions as well as the initiation of a c**p using Juan Guaido as a frontman. Currently, Guaido has entered Venezuela under the protection of the U.S., and is openly fomenting revolution against Nicolas Madruro.

The Venezuela conflict seems to be headed up by Trump's National Security Adviser John Bolton. Bolton has indicated numerous times that the military option is on the table for the region if Madruro refuses to step down and relinquish power.

A Venezuela scenario interests me greatly for a number of reasons, but primarily because it matches up perfectly with a scenario described in 'Operation Garden Plot', a secret continuity of government and martial law program exposed during the Iran/Contra Hearings in the 1980s. Garden Plot outlines that a crisis in South or Central America followed by mass migrations north to the U.S. border would be a useful crisis and a valid excuse to trigger martial law measures in America, starting first on the border and then spreading from there. Isn't this the situation we are starting to see today on the border?

A war in Venezuela, either through a c**p or through direct U.S. military action would amplify current unstable conditions to a maximum.

North Korea
It should come as no surprise to anyone that the "diplomatic negotiations" with North Korea have ended in shambles, with NK threatening to return to missile and nuclear tests and cut off future summits if the U.S. does not back off of sanctions by the end of this year.

The current state of devolving affairs with North Korea was highly predictable, though the amount of time it took for the farce to become widely evident was certainly longer than I expected. There was never any intention on the part of the Trump Administration and its elitist handlers to secure a deal with North Korea, and the idea that NK would ever denuke was ludicrous from the start.

The question is, if NK begins missile and nuclear tests again at the end of this year, as they seem to be threatening to do in a roundabout way, will this be used as an excuse for a war in the region? And, is this the next stage in the scripted g*******t narrative in which Trump is a "bumbling populist villain" destined to lead the nation to economic or geopolitical ruin?

I think this Livingston guy is full of what my bulls leave in the pasture.

MR Mister Loc: Washington DC

For one thing, no one has declared war since 1941. Every war Vietnam, Korea, the Balkans, Iraq, plus a few more are called "Police Action".

I like Trump, he is an action man, just look back at all the do nothing leaders we have had, left and right.
I am s**k of no action leadership. Our country is sinking ever so slowly, we let Japan, China, Europe, and a few others bleed us with there cheap stuff, k*****g our producers. Just try to buy a TV made America, or a grinder, or a thousand other things. you can't!

If we ever get into a serious war how will we make anything if all our equipment is made elsewhere?

Richard Rowland

"If we ever get into a serious war how will we make anything if all our equipment is made elsewhere"?

Perhaps, MR. that's the point for why it's made elsewhere. The country is being set up. Read again the part that explains who's really calling the shots. International elitists have no concern for who wins or losses, for they profit regardless; Trumpy has these people in his administration.

Unfortunately, the American people are too busy hurling insults at the opposing party to notice what's taking place. The first clue should have been evident when the choice for president boiled down to Trumpy or Hillary. Something has gone terribly wrong if the country wasn't capable of fielding a better choice than these two.

However, what the elites have up their sleeves is not for you, nor I, to know. As for Trumpy being a man of action, for all his noise, he's accomplished very few life-changing advantages for the American working class. Even if the employment numbers have improved, so what, the American worker still competes with foreign labor, and the benefits of increased productivity haven't been shared with employees for the last thirty or forty years, working faster and smarter has been of little benefit.

The people should be storming Washington and demanding better. The problem though is that the folks running things have the people figured out, they have learned the technics for how to manipulate and distract while raiding the pantry.

MR Mister Loc: Washington DC

So, who are these people you speak of?

Richard Rowland

Livingston doesn't mention names, he just indicates those we never see are making the decisions. I agree with the idea that it's those behind the curtain working the levers that hold sway over the political front men.

I sense that your question has a motive. Ya wanna share it?

MR Mister Loc: Washington DC

My only motive is to keep people who h**e America from succeeding. Our kids have been indoctrinated into hating their country, it's so obvious everyone should see it. We only will have one chance at America as our founders said 240 years ago. If we screw it up there will be no place to run to or hide. Few understand this.
