Feeding Frenzy — Jeff Thomas

We’ve all seen the National Geographic specials featuring an animal that’s been isolated and brought down by a pack of carnivores. The pack tears out its throat to assure death, then proceeds to rip the carcass to pieces.
Occasionally, we see similar behaviour in politics, and we’re witnessing it presently in the US.
In 2016, it became clear that a Washington outsider, Donald Trump, would be the Republican candidate. Both Democrats and Republicans within the beltway looked upon this development with horror. This was a man who had not sold himself to one party or the other and therefore was not a puppet of the Deep State – the aggregation that actually owns and controls the US.
Republicans in particular panicked, as it became possible that their candidate, of whom they wanted no part, might actually win.
Some pretended to support him; others vilified him. Ironically, this only served to further embolden the American voting public that Mister Trump was indeed their man – someone who might actually ‘drain the swamp,’ as he repeatedly claimed he would do.
It should be remembered that the six corporations that own and control 80% of the media, are, in turn, owned by the Deep State itself, so it shouldn’t have been surprising that, when Mister Trump actually won the election, the media immediately sought to discredit him by any means possible, in order to get him out. They began their attack immediately, and the attack quickly ramped up into a feeding frenzy.
