According the Economist Eric Weinstein, the ENTIRE American election system is setup to “prune” populist candidates through Primary Elections, to make certain both party Candidates are acceptable to the International Rules-Based Order. Our election system thereby provides only the “illusion” of Democracy, because both party candidates become a “magicians choice” . . . “Pick a card, any card” but the magician always knows what card it is, because the people cannot be trusted to decide.
Eric Weinstein is, by any measure, a “power player” in matters financial and political. He is presently the Managing Director of Peter Thiel’s “Theil Capital” of San Francisco. You remember Peter Thiel, don’t you? He was on stage at the 2016 Republican National Convention where he announced he is proud to be a Gay Republican.
Weinstein did his PhD thesis at Harvard University in 1992 and taught at Oxford. By any measure, this is a very educated man, who is very connected in finance and big money as Managing Director of Thiel Capital. So when he speaks, he does so from real knowledge; knowledge that only “Insiders” actually possess. What he said in a recent Podcast, is utterly staggering:
“I don’t know that Donald Trump will be allowed to become President (again).”
Weinstein then goes on to explain the REAL situation behind each and every national American Election: “The illusion of Democracy.”
He makes clear the American people do not have a real choice in elections. They get a “Magicians Choice” . . . . pick a candidate, any candidate” but the “Magician” (the real powers-that-be of the Rules-Based International Order), know that whichever candidate is chosen, that person will be someone acceptable to the Order, who will not upset the agreements and alliances that are long in-place.
Weinstein explains that, for decades, there have been agreements and alliances, designed to prevent war, and keep markets functioning. He says “those agreements and alliances are fragile” and can be upset or overturned by a President who disagrees with them.
So the powers-that-be cannot allow the public to choose a President that might upset things like NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) or NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization). In Weinstein’s words, “the public cannot be allowed to decide through a plebiscite every four years.”
In the Podcast below, Weinstein is asked what he meant when he said “I don’t know whether Donald Trump will be allowed to become President.”
