The Sea Island conspiracy

Apple's Tim Cook, Google's Larry Page and Eric Schmidt, Napster's Sean Parker, Tesla Motors' Elon Musk, and other members of the super-rich were jetting in to the exclusive Georgia resort, ostensibly to participate in the annual World Forum of the American Enterprise Institute.

Among the advertised topics of discussion: "Millennials: How Much Do They Matter and What Do They Want?"

That was the cover story.

As revealed by the Huffington Post, Sea Island last weekend was host to a secret conclave at the Cloisters where oligarchs colluded with Beltway elites to reverse the democratic decisions of millions of voters and abort the candidacy of Donald Trump.

2. "The key task now, to ... paraphrase Karl Marx, is less to understand Trump than to stop him."

... Beltway elites to reverse the democratic decisions of millions of voters and abort the candidacy of Donald Trump.

What we see at Sea Island is that, despite all their babble about bringing the blessings of "democracy" to the world's benighted, AEI, Neocon Central, believes less in democracy than in perpetual control of the American nation by the ruling Beltway elites.

If an outsider like Trump imperils that control, democracy be damned. The elites will come together to bring him down, because, behind party ties, they are soul brothers in the pursuit of power.

From 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.

Poor little ol' Donald. The left hates him. Half of the republican party hates him. Minorities hate him. And now there are billionaires that hate him.

I thought it was a letter to the editor until after I finished reading it, then noticed that the author was none other than - PAT BUCHANAN. It is like some kind of weird parallel universe.
