Dear Editor,
At a second glance, perhaps President elect Donald Trump is not the fool he was portrayed as, and when our Alberta Premier tries to negotiate with him, I think she will find out how he made those billions.
In the 80’s and 90’s, before Wikipedia, the covert whisperings in the US political parties were of a ring of highly placed military and political leaders that were suspected of selling arms to third world countries, by first starting political turmoil, and then arming the dissidents. Nothing was ever proved, but ex-President Bush and Clinton’s names came up. Members of this secret organization were known as the (Ring of Hawks) and they were untouchable.
Donald Trump is no fool; you do not become a multi- millionaire by being a fool. Despite all the stress and rhetoric during the election campaign he based his platform on some simple truths. First, that Hilliary Clinton’s email would have proved who was behind the Turkish coup attempt, and secondly that wealthy Islamic extremists have entered the US for unscrupulous reasons. Thirdly, that a massive amount of drugs are coming over the Mexican border and their government is not doing enough to stop it. I believe President Trump will address these issues, if he can just get past a corrupt senate.
What Donald Trump meant when he said he would get tough on incoming immigrants was that these powerful leaders will not use the US to recruit for their religious aspirations. Nor will they be allowed to hide from their foreign acts. Like Muslim Fethullah Gulen, who preaches an inclusive brand of Sunni Islam? In 1980, Turkish generals accused him of plotting to install an Islamic dictatorship. It is believed that his adamant followers infiltrated high levels of Turkish military and political positions and were involved in the chaos of the attempted coup perpetrated against Turkish President Recep Erdogan; who is demanding the US extradite him to Turkey to stand trial. I believe Trump will align with Russian President Putin in solidarity with Erdogan and show the world the US is not a hiding place. The Gulen movement, known as Hizmet are establishing and expanding secular Islamic schools that encourage strict Islamic lifestyles and adherence to religious prayer. However, in 2014 the FBI investigated and raided 19 schools in Ohio, Illinois, and Indiana for embezzling forced money transfers from landed immigrants in the employ of the schools. Seized wages to pay for the movement! Donald wants to return the US to a law abiding and moral country and as we will see, he will take whatever he wants from his satellite country; Canada.
