Power = wealth

Power = wealth is a relationship recognized since people began to group together for mutual benefit. It didn’t take long for leaders to arise and organize the groups. It didn’t take long for the leaders to become absolute authorities, then absolutely obeyed Kings. Sooner or later, the king would be overrun by another king who had acquired a bit more power. After this system had been in place for thousands of years, a small, young society got “fed up” with it and decided to turn it around, making the society leaders absolutely obey the people. Unheard of! But it worked! They grouped themselves into towns, counties, and states. The state leaders developed a government which was to unite the states, adjudicate their different opinions to develop the best action plans, and supervise action. They called themselves the United States.

Not everyone agreed with this system. After all it was contrary to the status quo that had been in effect for many centuries. Plus, they were usually interested in taking power positions themselves. They began to fight the new system. The had very little success in the beginning, but they began to develop what seemed to be good arguments. By the early 20th century they had united themselves and became known as Tammany Hall, working quietly behind the elected government. World War II and Franklin D. Roosevelt pretty much destroyed the system. The survivors had to start over again, keeping themselves more hidden. Gradually they became more and more powerful, and you began to hear of a “Deep State” which was gradually positioning itself for government take over. I suggest you might pick up a Bible and read the first 24 chapters of Ezekiel. The United States in not yet the position of Israel at the time, but we are getting there, and are increasingly in danger of what happened as a result.

Thirty years ago, Oprah Winfrey interviewed a successful young businessman who had become aware of developing problems in our national government, and he outlined a number of things he would do to correct things if he were president. Today Donald Trump IS our president. He is now trying to accomplish the things he had outlined - - - and the Deep State members are apoplexic! He is trying to undo everything they have accomplished in their takeover plans. They are accusing him of everything they would and have done and would do in activating their takeover plans. They accuse him of using the presidency for financial benefit. They can’t understand that a wealthy business man is simply interest in righting a government ship that is increasingly in danger of sinking. Why would a billionaire spend his own money to be elected, just so he would not have his hands tied by desires of financial supporters? Why would he be refusing a nice salary if he is after every dollar he could find? This is beyond their understanding! Yes, he is not a politician and has had a steep learning curve, but he has been a quick learner. Yes, he uses Twitter too much, but it is the only way he can get his thoughts out to the people – mass media certainly does not help him on this. Yes, he has done things the Deep State considers disastrous, but they have regularly turned out successful. Politicians, however, know how to get people to take their “side” and support them.
