RUST NEVER SLEEPS

Michael Moore comfort eating.

by Daniel Barge

I would hate to be Michael Moore's home help right now, as that poor woman (presumably an illegal alien from South of the border) is going to have to deal with the gargantuan mess made by that lump of lard as he loses control of his bowels through a fit of fear brought on by the inevitability of a Trump victory. Loathsome as he is, Moore is at least smart enough to see which way the wind is blowing—and the more it blows away from this flatulent, over-fed freak the better.

Here he is on his home page, lamenting the enormous impact of Trump's masterly and powerful acceptance speech at the Republican Convention:

"I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I gave it to you straight last summer when I told you that Donald Trump would be the Republican nominee for president. And now I have even more awful, depressing news for you: Donald J. Trump is going to win in November. This wretched, ignorant, dangerous part-time clown and full time sociopath is going to be our next president. President Trump. Go ahead and say the words, ‘cause you’ll be saying them for the next four years: PRESIDENT TRUMP."

Yes, the Liberal/Leftist elites are finally waking up to the fact that their game plan of eternal dominance is crumbling. The plan was quite simple: use a coalition of unionised Whites and ethnic minorities to dominate enough big states like California and those in the North East to control the Electoral College, and then to use the office of President to ignore the border and pack the Supreme Court. In time this would also enable them to take other states away from the implicitly White party. The plan went well in the 1990s with Bill Clinton, was thrown off track a little by George Bush, but then went turbo-charged with Obama.

With this coming election, there was every chance of Hillary being smoothly installed to continue this demonic plan. But then Trump happened, and suddenly the wheels started to come off. Unlike all the other Republican candidates, Trump saw the weak spot of the Left—namely it's betrayal of the White working class—and, as his acceptance speech demonstrated, he clearly knows how to exploit this.

The key word here, of course, is "Rustbelt," the group of states that once were the industrial heartland of America—New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, and Illinois—and which the Democrats could largely take for granted. Wrapped in economic decline, depression, and rust, the globalist GOP could not touch them, allowing the globalist Democratic Party to suck up their votes. Now that piece of electoral architecture is being smashed as Moore well realises:

"I believe Trump is going to focus much of his attention on the four blue states in the rustbelt of the upper Great Lakes – Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Four traditionally Democratic states – but each of them have elected a Republican governor since 2010 (only Pennsylvania has now finally elected a Democrat). In the Michigan primary in March, more Michiganders came out to vote for the Republicans (1.32 million) that the Democrats (1.19 million). Trump is ahead of Hillary in the latest polls in Pennsylvania and tied with her in Ohio. Tied? How can the race be this close after everything Trump has said and done? Well maybe it’s because he’s said (correctly) that the Clintons’ support of NAFTA helped to destroy the industrial states of the Upper Midwest. Trump is going to hammer Clinton on this and her support of TPP and other trade policies that have royally screwed the people of these four states."

This is literally Belshazzar's Feast made American poitics: "Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin"—although it is not so much the kingdom of Babylon being found wanting and divided amongst the Medes and the Persians, as the strategy of the Left being riddled with contradictions and shattered by the superior strategy of Trump. Having solidified his grip on the GOP, he is now in a position to execute this strategy to maximum effect. But rust is the key.

Writing on the wall.

Rust is what happens to metal that no longer serves a purpose. It is the perfect metaphor for what has happened to the high-functioning White working class in these states, a population that enabled America to become dominant in the World, but which, in doing this, also enabled the globalism that has destroyed their jobs, lives, and communities.

Rust is also a slow and silent agent of destruction, undermining structures that may look impressive, but which become progressively weaker and more fragile until they suddenly break. In this guise, rust is also a perfect metaphor for the arrogance, complacency and comeuppance of the globalist Left.
