The establishment specializes in the old
fashion bait-and-switch. It knows the people are sick and tired of
government as usual and they want change. Obama was billed as Mr. Hope
and Change. But once installed in the White House, he immediately
continued and expanded the Bush agenda, that is to say the agenda of the
political establishment. Barry, like his predecessor, is little more
than a frontispiece, a teleprompter reader for the elite.
Now that we’re fed up with Obama, it is
time for the next round of phony change. That change will likely be
represented by reformulated Tea Party Republicans Ted Cruz and Rand
Paul.
“The Republican establishment despises
Ted Cruz. And that’s great news for the senator from Texas: It’s the
most prominent sign that he’s the front-runner for the GOP presidential
nomination,” the National Journal opined last week.
The faux government shutdown with its
intense partisan squabbling and meticulously orchestrated theatrics
provided Cruz and the reformulated Tea Party Republicans with a stage to
present themselves as the answer to politics as usual. According to the
script, a staid GOP dominated by the likes of old guard John McCain and
John Boehner is afraid of Cruz and the supposedly renegade faction of
Tea Party activists in the House. But it’s all show business.
For all his allure as an outsider,
Canada-born Ted Cruz is in fact an insider playing a role similar to the
one Barack Obama played back in 2008 when his handlers portrayed him as
the hope and change candidate out of nowhere.
Cruz’s insider connection is a family
affair. His wife, Heidi, is a Goldman Sachs vice president in Houston,
Texas, according to her LinkedIn
profile. She also served as an economic advisor for the Bush
administration. In 2011, a Cruz campaign spokesman portrayed Heidi as
“an expert on North American trade,” in other words she is savvy when it
comes to globalist transnational trade deals like NAFTA, the single most destructive government move against the American worker in history.
She was also a term member of the Council on Foreign Relations (see her bio
at Claremont McKenna College), a position that expired prior to her
husband’s attack on the globalist organization. In October, 2011, Ted
Cruz reportedly characterized the CFR as “a pernicious nest of snakes”
that is “working to undermine our sovereignty.” He previously called the
CFR “a pit of vipers” during a speech delivered on October 13, 2011, to
a Republican women’s group in Sugarland, Texas. Ben Smith, writing for Politico,
attempted to associate Cruz with Texas residents Ron Paul and Alex
Jones in order to pass him off as a rightwing conspiracy theorist on the
same page as fringe libertarians and starry-eyed constitutionalists. He
is, of course, nothing of the sort.
Like the domestication of the Tea Party
and the expulsion of its more purist liberty-minded activists, the Cruz
the warrior pitted against the establishment motif is another slick
subversion directed at the political elite’s most puissant opposition –
the real Tea Party and a threatening number of patriot activists gnawing
at the edges of the political establishment.
