Americans' Loss of Citizenship
• https://www.lewrockwell.com, By Kirkpatrick SaleThe people, the supposed citizens—even those who vote—have no real influence over the candidates they put in office. It is for certain that they elected Trump with the idea that he would keep us out of foreign wars, maybe even out of NATO and Japan, that he would get rid of Obamacare (and no one said he had to fix it), that he would abolish the Ex-Im Bank, that he would in short undo the longstanding establishmentarian power that was so hated in the land. But now it seems he is dropping these sorts of things that Steve Bannon was directing him to—and maybe Bannon himself—and instead following the conventional dictates of the 3M's—McMaster, Mattis, and Mnuchin—and his Democrat son-in-law Jared Kushner. Take that, voters!
And they always do. Obama was going to usher in a post-racial America and instead provided us with more racial confrontation and tension than any time since the 1960s. And he took countless actions for which he had no mandate, acting on his own whim and egged on by the left-liberal crowd he assembled around him. He continued our futile, and expensive, involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan that the vast majority of people wanted done with, and he got us into catastrophic wars in Libya, Yemen, and Somalia all on his own without the required Congressional acts of war. He eve took to sending drone strikes around the world, without any authorization, even murdering by drone an American citizen never accused or convicted of a crime–without seeking any authorization by us or our representatives.
