Smolny Institute were up to in Petrograd in 1917<\/a>. <\/p>\nFrom what has been reported, it would not be extreme to say this was a conspiracy of oligarchs, War Party neocons, and face-card Republicans to reverse the results of the primaries and impose upon the party, against its expressed will, a nominee responsive to the elites’ agenda.<\/p>\n
And this taxpayer-subsidized “Dump Trump” camarilla raises even larger issues. <\/p>\n
Now America is not Russia or Egypt or China. <\/p>\n
But all those countries are now moving purposefully to expose U.S. ties to nongovernmental organizations set up and operating in their capital cities. <\/p>\n
Many of those NGOs have had funds funneled to them from U.S. agencies such as the National Endowment for Democracy, which has backed “color-coded revolutions” credited with dumping over regimes in Serbia, Ukraine and Georgia.<\/p>\n
In the early 1950s, in Iran and Guatemala, the CIA of the Dulles brothers did this work.<\/p>\n

And whatever one thinks of NED and its subsidiaries, it is time Americans took a hard look at the tax-exempt foundations, think tanks and public policy institutes operating in our capital city. <\/p>\n
How many are like AEI, scheming to predetermine the outcome of presidential elections while enjoying tax exemptions and posturing as benign assemblages of disinterested scholars and seekers of truth? <\/p>\n
How many of these tax-exempt think tanks are fronts and propaganda organs of transnational corporations that are sustained with tax-deductible dollars, until their “resident scholars” can move into government offices and do the work for which they have been paid handsomely in advance? <\/p>\n
How many of these think tanks take foreign money to advance the interests of foreign regimes in America’s capital?<\/p>\n
We talk about the “deep state” in Turkey and Egypt, the unseen regimes that exist beneath the public regime and rule the nation no matter the president or prime minister. <\/p>\n
What about the “deep state” that rules us, of which we caught a glimpse at Sea Island?<\/p>\n
A diligent legislature of a democratic republic would have long since dragged America’s deep state out into the sunlight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
