The election of Donald Trump
against all odds (20-1 at best, 200-1 at worst) could go down in history
as the turning point in Western civilization. Bracketed on one end by
Brexit and on the other by the looming collapse of the European cartel
mis-named the European Union, this election has seen three sacred cows
gored deeply, perhaps to the death:
The US secret intelligence community bet everything on
de-legitimizing Donald Trump by claiming that secret sources and
methods demonstrated that the Russians hacked the US election. The
evidence has not been forthcoming, and there has been such a powerful
collection of voices to the contrary that it is the secret world that
has de-legitimized itself, at least in the USA.
The US mainstream and progressive media bet everything
on the assumption that Hillary Clinton was the inevitable candidate,
and in the process demonstrated such a bias against the winning
candidate and such a blindness to the will of the public that the US
media is now called “fake news” the public rejects the
assertion that skeptical citizens are purveying “fake news.”
The US political duopoly the Republican and
Democratic parties that some say are two wings of the same bird
fought against Donald Trump to the very end. Julian Assange has
promised an exciting 2017 some expect him to do to the
Republicans what he did to the Democrats. Political parties are now
impotent.
For those in Europe who
worry about what an “unshackled” Donald Trump might do to America
and to America’s relations with Europe it may be helpful to
reflect on the fact that Trump has spoken clearly about being against
war and waste; against trade deals with secret clauses that
disadvantage the public; and against political corruption “play
to pay.” He is, in short, against conventional wisdom and against
the “Establishment” that has spent centuries fencing the commons
and marginalizing the individual citizen.
For all of his flaws,
Donald Trump represents a restoration of the voice of the people. As
Europe deals with the millions of illegal immigrants displaced by
America’s elective wars in the Middle East, North Africa, and
Central Asia, it might do well to consider the possibility that
Donald Trump represents the end of the central banking and central
politics era and the end of centralized secret intelligence
without accountability and the beginning instead of a new era
where US foreign policy will be about legitimate commerce and peace
for all instead of forced globalization and war as a profit center
for the few.
It is too early to tell
if Donald Trump will be a revolutionary president. While he has
chosen business and military elites to replace the political elites
in the service of Wall Street Donald Trump is a “Main Street”
president it remains to be seen if he will follow his instincts
and pursue intelligence reform, media reform, and electoral reform.
What might a new world
order look like if Donald Trump were to rebuild the US Government?
01 An end to waste
and over-charging. Iran and Donald Trump have
one big thing in common: they both believe that Boeing and Airbus and
everyone else are double-charging, and we should be paying half the
list price for everything. Under Donald Trump the various complexes,
from the military-industrial to the pharmaceutical to the
agricultural complex are headed for a sharp decline in earnings and
excess profits.
02 The beginning of
the open source era. While there is no
evidence that Donald Trump intends to create the Open Source Agency
(OSA) that his National Security Advisor Michael Flynn was briefed on
in 2014, it is clear that a new era of evidence-based governance
relying on ethical legal open sources to produce Open Source
Intelligence (OSINT), has begun. The spies can no longer repress what
they have long called “open sores.” It will take time, but it is
possible that a Trump Administration could see that the open source
era should include two new elements no one is talking about yet:
a) Creating the World Brain.
Education, intelligence, and research are all broken. They do not do
holistic analytics and true cost economics. Bearing in mind the
centrality of the five billion poor as the engine of future
prosperity, a Trump Administration may reject the neo-conservative
attempts to double-down on investments in propaganda lies and
instead seek to create a means for providing everyone in the world
with free access to truthful information “one cell call at a time.”
The education of the individual on a just enough, just in time basis,
not government regulation and micro-management, is how we heal
ourselves.
b) Open Source Everything Engineering (OSEE).
Beyond OSINT lies OSEE OSEE can achieve the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDG) in a fraction of the time as a fraction of
the cost of the current dysfunctional industrial-donor paradigm. As a
businessman, Donald Trump understands that the cheapest way to keep
all those pesky illegal immigrants home is to stop supporting
dictators while simultaneously enabling free solar energy, unlimited
free desalinated water, free Internet, and free open source housing
and other infrastructure advances. The industrial era that
concentrated wealth is over the information era of distributed
3D-printing and a re-birth of local sustainability has begun.
03 An end to
elective wars, regime change operations, and drone assassinations.
The foreign policy coup of the neo-conservatives that led to multiple
foreign wars is over; the year-long soft coup against Donald Trump by
the Establishment has been defeated. Europe should expect America to
stop supporting both the United Nations (UN) and the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization (NATO); to stop placing our military in overseas
bases where they serve other countries instead of our own; and to
re-focus the US intelligence community on producing decision-support
relevant to peace and prosperity instead of engaging in crimes
against humanity around the world.

New possibilities for Internet-enabled democracy.
Although the Internet is very broken and Facebook and Google have
shown themselves to be above the law and ready to censor any opinion
not approved by Eric Schmidt or George Soros Parag Khanna among
others has illuminated possibilities is his two books Connectography
and Technocracy.
If Donald Trump created the Trump Channel that places before the
public a balanced budget with line item detail; if he demands that
all legislation be posted in advance of being voted on; and most
importantly, if he created a 24/7 interactive polling infrastructure
that empowers all citizens including the 47% that did not vote at all
in 2016, to be engaged informed citizens, not only would he bury the
two-party tyranny, he would create new national conversation Of, By,
and For all US citizens a new global standard.
05 An end to Empire,
an end to Central Banking. The Holy Grail of
democracy is to be found in the death of Central Banking. Central
banking the creation of false wealth out of nothing and the
imposition of both interest and exchange rates too easily manipulated
with income taxation that exempts banks and fraudulent non-profits
from taxation, have been the death of democracy. While the soft coup
has been defeated, there is still a war going on in America, between
those who wish to continue sacrificing the American public at the
altar of globalization and concentrated wealth; and those who wish to
end the Empire rooted in central banking and secret agencies managing
global criminal networks, in favor of a restored America the
Beautiful.
Emergence is not
pretty. In my view, Donald Trump is the ugly duckling. The enemy of
my enemy is my friend. This may surprise many in Europe, but from
where I sit as a former infantry officer, former spy, and champion of
open source everything, Donald Trump is the change agent we have all
been praying for. He absolutely merits every possible courtesy.
