How Trump Rebelled Against The Generals

In early 2017, just as Trump was
inaugurated, we wrote how an old power
center theory that seemed to explain how
Trump won the elections:
Seen from the perspective of power
centers Clinton once had all the support
she needed. But she then lost a decisive
group due to her uncompromising
neo-conned foreign policy.
Here is an interesting take based on
a theory from the 1950s:
[T]he power elite can be best
described as a “triangle of
power,” linking the corporate,
executive government, and military
factions: “There is a
political economy numerously linked
with military order and decision.
This triangle of power is now a
structural fact, and it is the key
to any understanding of the higher
circles in America today.”
The 2016 US election, like all
other US elections, featured a
gallery of pre-selected candidates
that represented the three factions
and their interests within the power
elite. The 2016 US election,
however, was vastly different from
previous elections. As the election
dragged on the power elite became
bitterly divided, with the majority
supporting Hilary Clinton, the
candidate pre-selected by the
political and corporate factions,
while the military faction rallied
around their choice of Donald Trump.
...
The decisive political point in this
election round was the fight between
neo-conservatives/liberal-interventionists
and foreign policy realists. One side is
represented as exemplary by the CIA with
the U.S. military on the other:
A schism developed between the
Defense Department and the highly
politicized CIA. This schism, which
can be attributed to the
corporate-deep-state’s covert
foreign policy, traces back to the
CIA orchestrated “color revolutions”
that had swept the Middle East and
North Africa.
The CIA created bloodthirsty future
enemies the military will later have to
defeat. ...
That explanation has held up well. At the
beginning of his regime Trump stuffed the
White House with the military faction while
the executive government -the deep state-
waged a war against him. The corporate side
of triangle of power was quite happy with
his tax policies. |
