The Trump-Kamala "Debate" Left Untouched What Is Really At Stake by Paul Craig Roberts!

What we need to understand about American presidential elections is that normally the candidates of both parties are chosen by the ruling elites. Therefore, it matters not to them who is elected.

Trump is hated by the ruling elites because he took the nomination away from their list of approved Republican candidates in 2016, and they have been trying to get rid of him ever since.

Trump is dangerous to the ruling establishment because he says he stands with the people against them.

In other words, this is not an election contest between Republicans and Democrats. It is about who controls the United States government–the people or the ruling elites.

I can say with complete confidence that for many decades the universities and law schools have undermined Americans beliefs in the United States Constitution and in the belief system that is the basis of the United States.

This undermining has had an effect on the American population. Democrat members of the population are convinced that white Americans, especially if they are southerners, are racists who have oppressed black Americans. They are also convinced that men oppress women. They are also convinced that the concept of sexual perversion is bigotry.

The Democrats project all these alleged faults of white people not on their own white selves but onto Republican voters-"Trump deplorables" in Hillary Clintons words.

So, Trump has two targets on his back. The ideological one of being a white male who oppresses blacks and women and the upstart who challenges the rule of the military-security complex, Wall Street, Big Pharma, and the other interest groups including the Israel Lobby whose money elects the members of the House and Senate.

Very few, including Donald Trump, dare to admit the Israel Lobbys control of the United States government. That control is manifest in Netanyahu, a war criminal with a policy of genocide, being invited to address the House and Senate and being received with 53 standing ovations.

The members of the House and Senate understand that they are in office due to the campaign contributions of their donors. Therefore, they are responsive to the donors whose money elects them, not to the people who vote. They understand that if they take issue with official narratives, they will lost office.

As Kamala has not challenged the ruling establishment and as she is female and part black, she is immune to the ideological denunciation. Trump is at the disadvantage, because accused of being a racist and a misogynist, he proves the point when he attacks Kamala, who is free to sit there and gaslight the American public.

CNNs "instant poll" following the Trump-Kamala "debate" assigns victory to Kamala by a 63% to 37% margin. In actual fact, there is no debate. There is a carefully constructed list of questions prepared by a partisan media that representatives of the presstitute media ask the candidates. The questions are artfully constructed to aid the preferred candidate.

Sometimes the questioners even jump in and aid the favored candidate in "correcting" the unfavored candidate. It is likely that the favored candidate is provided with the questions in advance. The entire purpose of the "debate" is to aid the theft by boosting the image of the preferred candidate.

The reason RINO Republicans such as Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell are opposed to Trump is that they prefer a candidate that is as acceptable to the ruling elites as the Democrat candidate.

Be sure to understand that what you are seeing in the Trump-Kamala contest is the ruling elites determination to have its candidate in office, not the peoples candidate. Of course, many American voters are too insouciant to understand the process and the stakes, and enough of them vote for the candidate of the ruling elite to keep the ruling elite in power and the people out of power. This is what Trump is up against.

Possibly, Trump has gained more realization than voters of how elections are rigged whether or not votes are stolen. What is at stake is not a political partys platform. What is at stake is who rules-the people or the elites.

The answer is seldom the people. Even when the elites candidate loses, they continue to rule by filling up the winning candidates administration with their people, as they did Trump, and they continue to control majorities in the House and Senate, irrespective of party.

Trump is not perfect. My view is that if the people do not support him, never again will a candidate of either party dare speak for the people. If Trump is again denied office, what has been done to Trump for the last eight years will be a lesson for all future political candidates: Get on the wrong side of the elite, and you will be crucified-and the people will not come to your aid.
