Regardless of Who Wins the Election, Confidence in Washington DC Is ALREADY ShatteredBy Clint Siegner This campaign is dragging whatever prestige is still associated with the Office of President into the mud. Few voters on either side bother to spend much time arguing the greatness of their candidate. When both Trump and Clinton carry more baggage than American Airlines, its easier to focus on their opponents shortcomings. The victor in this epically polarized contest will garner only tepid support from a minority of Americans. He or she will be despised by most everyone else. Washington DC is having a very bad decade. This years election is just part of a larger pattern that has big ramifications for the dollar and, therefore, precious metals; the devolution of confidence in our federal institutions. Among the biggest losers are the two major party establishments. Evidence recently emerged that Democrat Party operatives have been hiring and training hooligans to incite violence at Trump campaign rallies. There are indications of widespread voter fraud. And the supporters of Bernie Sanders wont soon forget how their party leadership cheated them during the primary. On the Republican side, Trump won with more votes than have ever been cast for a candidate in the partys primary. Yet he is getting almost zero advertising support from the RNC and public rebukes from many Republicans. A Trump win looks like the worst outcome for House Speaker Paul Ryan and other top party leadership. They would have to contend with an angry and vindictive president-elect who already seems anxious to punish them. The widespread fraud and misdealing arent just limited to Democratic and Republican Party headquarters. It permeates Washington DC, and the embarrassing details just keep coming: The list of confidence-destroying blunders goes on in a myriad of smaller ways. The Transportation Security Administration fails 95% of the time when it comes to catching smuggled weapons. VA hospitals have been caught covering up the long wait times and lousy service for veterans. And on and on. We now get to the U.S. dollar. Confidence in the greenback is, so far at least, holding up remarkably well. How long can that edifice keep standing while faith in the institutions surrounding it continues to crumble? Not forever, thats for sure.

Did some one say government, ya mean that enslavement cabal that hide in plain site in the belly of the beast, known as DeCeit (D.C.). The whole idea behind the two party system is divide and conquer. It just took hundreds of years to be made obvious. The bankster oligarchs know that in the end they would have to come out in the open with their scams to keep we the people in darkness, that is why things have to happen rapidly to stay ahead of any effort by we the people to unite, because they know that a united America will overthrow their greedy money backed scandals. Egypt did it, why cant we the people??? Too bad so many groups fall for their money schemes like #BLM and the occupy movements which are creations of the banksters and soros and ford foundation admit it!
