While
showing an image of Donald Trump as a wrecking ball, veteran leftist
operative Webster Tarpley told the recent Left Forum in New York City,
“If we play this right, he can destroy the Republican Party.” The
comments, delivered at the major left-wing gathering of the year,
reflect the belief among “progressive” activists that the Donald J.
Trump candidacy can be used to destroy the Republican Party and usher
in a major period of Democratic Party rule, under the increasing
influence of an openly socialist faction.
“This party must be destroyed,” Tarpley said, referring to the
Republicans.
Tarpley’s analysis of the political scene takes on additional
significance as we see evidence of communists and Mexican nationals
protesting outside Trump rallies and assaulting Trump
However,
left unsaid in his presentation is whether after Mrs. Clinton is
presumably done with her first term as president, she could be
challenged for another term by the Sanders wing of the party, possibly
represented at that time by Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).
supporters. Tarpley’s audience was the Left Forum, which is described
as “the largest annual conference of a broad spectrum of left and
progressive intellectuals, activists, academics, organizations and the
interested public.” The theme for this year’s event was “Rage,
Rebellion, Revolution: Organizing Our Power.”
Those participating included the Democratic Socialists of America
(which supported Barack Obama and now Bernie Sanders), the Southern
Poverty Law Center, representatives of the governments of Cuba and
Venezuela, the “Exonerate Ethel Rosenberg” campaign, CodePink, the
Palestine Solidarity Committee, the Workers World Party, the Trans
Queer Liberation Movement, and the Greek Communist Party.
A former operative in the movement led by Lyndon H. LaRouche, an aging
Marxist ideologue who served time in prison on fraud charges, Tarpley
is viewed by the left as an expert on the class struggle that defines
the evolution of the American political system. He has been a prominent
figure in the so-called 9/11 Truth Movement, which blames unnamed U.S.
officials for carrying out the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.
He is today associated with the Tax Wall Street Party, a group backing
the Sanders proposal to raise taxes on financial transactions in order
to finance a socialist super state.
Drawing on historical sources and stories about turmoil in the Trump
campaign and the GOP, Tarpley predicted that Trump’s candidacy will
divide the Republicans and result in one of its factions merely
surviving as a regional party based in the Deep South, rural areas, and
the intermountain West. However, he said the party itself has become so
dependent on “aging white men,” a shrinking percentage of the
electorate, that it may be “demographically doomed” in the long term.

With the Republican Party out of the way, the activists making up the
Left Forum would be able to consolidate their power in the Democratic
Party and move it even further to the left, in terms of more socialism
at home and more accommodation of “anti-imperialist” and
“anti-capitalist” forces abroad. [Full

In 1986 a young Marine Lance Corporal (me), with great dreams and self confidence, read somewhere that if you want to be successful, learn and emulate the habits of successful people. Just so happened that the Donald released his first book right then. In it he said that he is a winner, because "I always surround myself with winners."
ReplyDeleteGosh, Lyndon LaRouche AND Venezuelans, all in the same place? Talk about winning. Yes Millennials, you too can dumpster dive for food while reminiscing about the good old days and how two ply toilet paper felt on your delicate little candy ass. -Anymouse
NoisyRoom has disintegrated into one of those anti-Trump "has been" sites, like Moonbattery, Soopermexican, Reaganite Republican, etc.

ReplyDeleteAfter the successful election of Trump, the demise of the gop would not necessarily be a bad thing in my book. We can rebuild from there.
