During the 2016 presidential campaign, Donald Trump
cultivated the persona of an anti-establishment maverick that would
“drain the swamp” of DC corruption and give a voice to the suffering
working and middle classes. Yet, within the weeks that have come and
gone since the election concluded, Trump has noticeably back-tracked on 9 policies he touted while campaigning for president, most recently deciding not to press charges against Hillary Clinton because she “has been through enough.” Though his most ardent supporters have held fast to the idea that these “compromises” highlight Trump’s pragmatism, his recent cabinet picks
and meetings with the US political elite have painted a different
picture. There is no better example of this than Trump’s recent meeting
with Henry Kissinger. Though the corporate media’s coverage of the meeting referred to Kissinger as a respected “mentor” and Nobel Peace Prize “winner,” they overlooked his true legacy – that of an international war criminal
and the man responsible for transforming American foreign policy into
one of perpetual warfare. Kissinger is also a regular attendee of the
secretive Bilderberg conferences and a vocal advocate for one world government.
The meeting took place last Thursday, though it was not
their first meeting as the two had previously met in May. After
discussing foreign policy with the President-Elect, Kissinger told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria
that he is optimistic about a Trump presidency and thinks that it could
have positive results. Kissinger went on to say that Trump was the
“most unique” presidential figure in his lifetime as he had “no baggage”
in the sense that Trump “has no obligation to any particular group
because he has become president on the basis of his own strategy.”
Kissinger then highlighted the President-elect’s unpredictability and
his “flip-flopping” on key campaign issues, but remarked that this
should be no cause for worry and that these changes are positive. During
the interview, he said “one should not insist on nailing [Trump] into
positions that he had taken in the campaign,” adding that Trump keeping
all is campaign promises was unlikely as he undergoes “the transition
from being a campaigner to being a national strategist.” Essentially,
Kissinger is claiming that Trump should not be expected to keep his
promises as he undergoes the same “transition” Obama underwent in 2008,
where campaign rhetoric and promises became a thing of the past and the
neoliberal/neoconservative agenda was adopted in service to the “deep
state.”
In terms of foreign policy, this agenda advocates for
perpetual war, which Kissinger himself established and the Bush
administration cemented into a permanent American reality through the
creation of the disastrous “War on Terror.”
Trump is expected to carry the torch, much like Obama did, and he does
indeed seem eager to please, if his cabinet picks and policy flops are
any indication. However, it is possible, however unlikely, that Trump
has been strong-armed into serving the elite’s agenda as Kissinger
hinted in the interview that “if [Trump] insists [on keeping his
campaign promises], then of course disagreements will become expressed.”
Disagreements with the “deep state” usually do not end very well for
those opposing its interests.
