Prison Planet – by Paul Joseph Watson
In a column for Foreign Policy Magazine, Council on Foreign Relations member James Traub argues that the elite need to “rise up” against the “mindlessly angry” ignorant masses in order to prevent globalization from being derailed by the populist revolt that led to Brexit and the rise of Donald Trump.
Concerned that, “Today’s citizen revolt — in the United States, Britain, and Europe — may upend politics as nothing else has in my lifetime,” Traub notes that Brexit was an “utter repudiation of….bankers and economists” and an example of how “extremism has gone mainstream”.
Citing the potential for Trump to split the Republican Party even if he loses and the increasing unpopularity of France’s socialist government, Traub argues that establishment political parties in major western countries must “combine forces to keep out the nationalists”.
“With prospects of flat growth in Europe and minimal income growth in the United States, voters are rebelling against their dismal long-term prospects,” writes Traub. “And globalization means culture as well as economics: Older people whose familiar world is vanishing beneath a welter of foreign tongues and multicultural celebrations are waving their fists at cosmopolitan elites.”
Traub’s tone is so contemptuous, he even describes the pro-Trump Republican base as “know nothing” voters and sneers at voters in Poland for being concerned about “values and tradition,” while stressing that the push for further globalization will pit “poor and non-white and marginal citizens” against “working-class and middle-class whites,” whom he describes as angry “fist-shakers”.
Traub admits that his outlook is “elitist” but that, “It is necessary to say that people are deluded and that the task of leadership is to un-delude them.”
Reaction to the article was piercingly vitriolic, with one respondent commenting, “If you’ve ever wondered what the conversations between aristocrats were like as the peasants were storming the Bastille, I suspect some of them were a lot like this Foreign Policy article.”
The piece is yet another stunning example of how disconnected elites are to the people whom they insult and wish to rule over.
Traub, a Harvard graduate from a super-wealthy family that owns the Bloomingdale’s chain of luxury department stores, has no idea whatsoever how things like mass uncontrolled immigration, deindustrialization and globalization impact ordinary working westerners.
His sneering pomposity is precisely why many Brits voted for Brexit and why many Americans will vote for Donald Trump.
In refusing to listen to or understand the concerns of hundreds of millions of people who have been disenfranchised by globalism, and instead arrogantly doubling down on his chutzpah, Traub is only ensuring that more people will join the populist revolt that led to Brexit in the first place.
My, my, the arrogance of Traub.
He hath been declared mad, by me.
OOps, people don’t be fooled by charlatan Trump, he be one of them.

NOW YOU KNOW WHY I MADE THESE SUMBITCHES A “TARGET”. FEED EM TO THE RATTLESNAKES!!!!!!!!!!!!http://www.fromthetrenchesworldreport.com/reptile-target/163380
“extremism has gone mainstream”. THATS FREEDOM GOING MAINSTREAM YOU JEW COMMIE FOOL………………………………
“The Donald” is a buffoon, a showman, a douchebag, and now he wants to be POTUS. Where’s Pat Paulson when we need him! Can you imagine the utterly dry humor Paulson would have had to say about Trump? Instead, were left with the Goldie Hawn’s of yesteryear, blithering stupidity with every breath.
I yearn for the feeling of optimism that was once well entrenched in American society. It seems long lost at this point, there’s nothing good to say about “The American Experiment “. It has long since been corrupted from within.
They continue to build these “fenced in areas”, hum? What do you think they got in mind. “Oh, these are for keepin’ people safe, yup that’s it!” “We so care for you we’re preparing for your welfare!” “Just step over to the edge of the abyss, I’ll attend to you shortly.”
“Blah, blah, blah, lead me where you will.” That’s what will be our demise, apathy.
Which is overwhelming proof Traub is a psychopath. ‘Nough said.
There is a reason the criminal psychopathic elites want nothing to do with us “little people”…it would spoil their own delusion…you know, the “strong delusion” of 2 Thessalonians 2:8-11. But I am sure he will be very happy with his psycho buddies…in the Lake of Fire.
He must be retarded. Elites, Hahaha ignorance has no bounds.

Wilson believed that America’s system of checks and balances complicated American governance. If government behaved badly, Wilson queried, “How is the schoolmaster, the nation, to know which boy needs the whipping?”[54] Wilson singled out the United States House of Representatives for particular criticism, saying,
“… divided up, as it were, into forty-seven seignories, in each of which a Standing Committee is the court-baron and its chairman lord-proprietor. These petty barons, some of them not a little powerful, but none of them within reach [of] the full powers of rule, may at will exercise an almost despotic sway within their own shires, and may sometimes threaten to convulse even the realm itself.”[55]
In his last scholarly work, Constitutional Government of the United States (1908), Wilson said that the presidency “will be as big as and as influential as the man who occupies it.” By the time of his presidency, Wilson hoped that presidents could be party leaders in the same way British prime ministers were. Wilson also hoped that the parties could be reorganized along ideological, not geographic, lines. He wrote, “Eight words contain the sum of the present degradation of our political parties: No leaders, no principles; no principles, no parties.”[56]
Wilson also wrote that charity efforts should be removed from the private domain and “made the imperative legal duty of the whole,” a position which, according to Robert M. Saunders, seemed to indicate that Wilson “was laying the groundwork for the modern welfare state.”[57] wikipedia.org
James Traub, does he share the lineage of other progressive liberals, communitarian ideology, expert technocracy of the administrative state, is his rhetoric libelous, slanderous, seditious, treasonous, and overtly hostile to the Constitution and bill of prohibitions, and an enemy to Mans security of his free State? you may infer from his spoken intent and draw your own conclusion.
Yet another one in dire need of the noose!
