Elected for his promises to change the paradigm, President Trump continues to astonish all those who take him for an idiot.
Yet all he is doing is implementing the ideas that he developed during his electoral campaign, thus taking his place in a political tradition which, although long neglected, is solidly anchored in US history. Leaving aside the President's public relations communications, Thierry Meyssan analyses his acts as compared with his engagements.
During the US Presidential electoral campaign, we demonstrated that the rivalry between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump did not concern their style so much as their culture1. The outsider challenged the Puritan domination over the USA, and demanded a return to the original compromise of 1789—the Bill of Rights—between the revolutionaries who were fighting King George, and the major landowners of the 13 colonies.
Not as amateur in politics as people thought, he had already displayed his opposition to the system on the very day of the attacks of 9/112, then, later, with the controversy he maintained concerning President Obama's birthplace.
We did not interpret Donald Trump's fortune as a clear signal that he would be taking action in service of the rich, but as proof that he would defend productive capitalism against speculative capitalism.
We pointed out that on foreign policy, Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama had chosen the option of war in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria, implementing the strategy of Admiral Cebrowski to destroy the state structures of all the States in the "Greater Middle East"3; while on the interior, they suspended the Bill of Rights—all of which led to the depreciation and pauperisation of the "poor white" elements of US society.
On the contrary, Donald Trump continually denounced the American Empire, and announced the return to Republican principles. He espoused the ideas of Andrew Jackson (1829-37)4, and was adopted by the ex-collaborators of Richard Nixon (1969-74)5.

Your body is crying out for...dirt
The idea of eating dirt isn't new. It's been around a long time, dating back more than 2,500 years. Hunters and gatherers couldn't avoid it, and regardless of culture, there's evidence people have included traces of dirt in their diets throughout the ages.

Biological Transmutations
Over the past two centuries a large number of experiments with animals, seeds and bacteria have demonstrated that biology is not only a chemical process, but also a nuclear one. It has been demonstrated that some minerals transmute into other minerals. With the development of lowenergy nuclear reactions (cold fusion), this topic is back in the scientific agenda. Very few scientists work in this field, but its importance is such that its further development is crucial.
