Donald Trump vs. The Establishment, Who Will Win? By Paul Craig Roberts

From the first day of his return to office Donald Trump has been locked in a life and death struggle with the the United States of American Establishment. In Washington, D.C., either the Democrat mayor or the Democrat judges that sentenced Donald Trump supporters to prison on false charges are delaying or trying to prevent the release of the pardoned prisoners. As of time of writing on Thursday January 23, not all of the pardoned held in D.C. have been released.

A Democrat Pennsylvania attorney general is trying to find a way to re-arrest the pardoned who live in Pennsylvania on state charges.

A federal district judge in Washington state has blocked Donald Trumps cancellation of birthright citizenship, an abusive process that allows immigrant-invaders to gain citizenship by getting into the United States in order to give birth. The judge claims, falsely, that this is a constitutional right that the United States Constitution grants to immigrant-invaders. The United States Constitutions protections are limited to US citizens.

A number of Democrat governors and mayors have vowed not to comply and even to actively resist Donald Trumps border defense and deportation of illegal aliens. Democrat Massachusetts governor Maura Healey said she would absolutely not comply with United States Law.

Is this not what a Southern governor did 50 or 60 years ago when he stood in the schoolhouse door in defiance of President John F. Kennedy? How is Maura Healey any different? Is it OK because it is a yankee and not a Southerner doing it?

Democrat Denver, Colorado, mayor Mike Johnston said he would call for civil disobedience to protest deportations. Is civil disobedience not one of the charges leveled against the Donald Trump supporters who protested the stolen 2020 presidential election?

The way the United States of American system works is that the president can do whatever he wants as long as the Establishment agrees. But if the Establishment does not agree, the president cannot even keep his oath to defend the Constitution against enemies domestic and foreign.

The Establishment surrounds the President. The Establishment is the Senate, House, judiciary, media, Wall Street and corporations, CIA, FBI, civil service, universities.

Donald Trumps only support is the people who control no institutions, not even local school boards. The United States military has been so corrupted by Obama and Biden that the United States military might be unreliable as a defense of American values and Americans rights.

We are faced with the possibility that United States of American soldiers can find themselves at war with Russian soldiers in order to defend Washington,D.C.s rule of tyranny over American citizens. American Exceptionalism cuts both ways. It means not only hegemony over foreign peoples but also over United States of American citizens.

With Democrats promising non-compliance and with judges blocking Donald Trumps every action, we are witnessing the institutionalized establishments blatant actions to block any hindrance on their power. The Establishment allowed Donald Trump to return to office, because they are confident that they can block him from success and thus demoralize Americans and end for all time challenges to their rule.

Donald Trumps attorney general has directed Department of Justice prosecutors to investigate state and local officials who are obstructing Donald Trumps enforcement of United States immigration laws.

It was the 12 years of Democrat presidents in the 21st century who filled up our country with illegal immigrant-invaders, diverting resources belonging to United States citizens to support for immigrant-invaders, while American war veterans were left homeless in the streets, who filled up the Justice (sic) Department with advocates for immigrant-invaders.

Ask yourself, how are the prosecutors, recruited by Obama and Biden regimes to ride roughshod over traditional American citizens in order to advance Black Lives Matter, Antifa, sexual perverts, indoctrination of school children, DEI in place of merit, and "constitutional rights" for immigrant invaders, going to comply?

The answer is that they will "investigate" and conclude that there is nothing to investigate. They will, for example, resurrect the long dead 10th Amendment-the States Right Amendment destroyed by Abe Lincoln-and claim that the dissenting Democrat jurisdictions are merely exercising their 10th Amendment rights.

How are the DOJ prosecutors recruited by eight years of the Cheney-Bush regime going to comply when on their watch the Constitutional protections of United States citizens became null and void in order to fight the completely invented "war on terror," which, in truth, was a fight for Greater Israel.

What Donald Trump and his Attorney General need to understand is that there is no one in the Department of Justice who has an ounce of integrity and who is not anti-American. The DOJ has not protected Americans constitutional rights for a quarter century and longer. Instead, the DOJ has been busy inventing rights for immigrant-invaders and criminals.

For Donald Trump to move forward, the entire Justice Department has to be replaced.

Donald Trump has issued executive orders making it easier to fire civil service obstructionists of the presidents orders and the will of the people.

But the civil service union is already at work relying on federal judges to block Donald Trumps executive order. The law suits will continue forever.

If Donald Trump and his administration accept this prohibition on its ability to govern and keep its campaign promises, the corrupt American Establishment will have won.

Only Americans of my generation know that formerly, in those days when the United States of America was great, there were no public sector unions. There was no civil service union, no police union, no firefighters union, no teachers union. Public sector employees were employed to serve the public, not to extort the public by refusing to supply the services for which they were paid unless the public paid up more.

Somewhere along the way federal, state, and local governments found votes and campaign contributions ample reward for selling out the United States of American people to public sector unions. Now these unions are positioned to block Donald Trump from making the United States of America great again.

Thomas Jefferson, the most pure of our Founding Fathers, said that every 200 years a nation has to renew itself with the blood of tyrants and patriots. He was correct in every respect except the 200 years.

By 1860 when the United States was not even 100 years old, the United States Constitution was no longer respected by the Republicans in power. They wanted the tariff at all cost and sold out the United States Constitution in order to get it by extraordinary violence and war crimes, all covered up by corrupt United States historians who achieved approval and success by serving as court historians.

We have been witnessing, that tiny percentage of us that pays any attention, the Ruling Establishments unrelenting attacks on Donald Trumps appointees.

Ms Tulsi Gabbard has been forced by the Establishment Senate to abandon her opposition to unlimited unconstitutional spying on American citizens by "security" and "intelligence" agencies in order "to protect" Americans by violating their Constitutional rights. Amazing, is it not, that Americans are protected by the governments violation of their Constitutional rights. Pete Hegseths appointment as Secretary of Defense is in trouble based on allegations by a vindictive former wife.

In my opening sentence I wrote that Donald Trump was in his first hours already in a life and death struggle with the American Establishment. Trump cannot win this war when the Justice (sic) Department, media, Federal judiciary, and United States Congress are homes of Americas enemies.

Americans having neglected Thomas Jeffersons warning and that of President Dwight Eisenhower, the current Trump regime is Americas last chance. Trump is faced with a powerful and utterly corrupt American Establishment that has been in power since they got the income tax and the Federal Reserve passed in 1913. Effectively, 1913 was the last year of American liberty.

An Establishment in power since 1913 is institutionalized and many times more powerful than a mere president.

Donald Trump and his supporters need to understand that the Establishment is institutionalized in the bureaucracies of his own government.

For decades Americans have been suffering violence from their government. It is way past time to send the violence back, in a double dose, to the criminal American Establishment.

If Donald Trump and his government cannot bring themselves to the real challenge, America is lost. Donald Trumps agenda will spend four years tied up in law courts.

Democracy is the most effective system ever invented, not for bringing change, but for blocking it.

The Establishment intends to block every Donald Trump change.
