Who Are ‘The Elite’?

This morning there is this at Zero Hedge:

“The Elite “Have No Idea” – Society Is Near The Breaking Point”

The writer argues that the stupid elite have no idea what they are doing to the ‘Deplorables’ in the United States.

What I find most surprising today is that the insiders and the elite have no idea what is percolating just beneath the surface. Okay, maybe their arrogance actually produces its own fog, so it should not come as a surprise that they are blinded. They do not look at the calendar, which, if one really looks, says “1788” on it. Something is close. Very close. Society is near the breaking point.

My own experience is that Hillary’s so-called Deplorables are actually the most reserved, most polite, and most honest demographic in the country. They are more informed, more self-reliant, and among other things, better armed. Regarding their arms, they are incredibly responsible, and not the source of the violence for which the implement, and not the person, is too often blamed. The Deplorables have the longest fuse. It is, however, a fuse.

Alt Left, on the other hand, are the Neo Fascists and Neo Neocons. It is Alt Left that thinks Free Speech means THEIR speech only. It is Alt Left that needs ‘safe spaces’ and wants to enforce thought crime.”

Today we have a report about the fire bombing of a GOP headquarters building in North Carolina. CNN is trying to blame it on the rhetoric of Donald Trump – as though he told the bombers to commit a felony.

I seriously doubt that it was a Republican who did the deed or spry painted Nazi slurs on the building. But they would like to obfuscate the facts in order to make trump the demon.

But back to ‘Elites’. The emotional talk on the clip above came from a person who sees himself as an elite. Most televisions and film personalities do. But what about the real elites? People like Obama, Michelle, Hillary, or Valerie Jarrett?

I think they know just what they are doing. They are working hard to provoke the Deplorables into violence. The pressure is coming from every direction. Again, the writer at Zero Hedge says:

Perhaps most significant is that it is Alt Left who so quickly resorts to violence and vandalism when confronted with people and ideas with which it takes exception. Never has that been as clear as in this election cycle.

The Deplorables, however, are not possessed of infinite patience. Like a capacitor, there is a charge building, and at some point it will be released into the circuitry of society.

The media and other insiders believe themselves to be immune. That thought no doubt results from being immersed inside a cocoon where dissonant voices are not allowed. When the levee breaks, or the capacitor releases its charge, they are going to be gob smacked.

Precious few of them are anywhere near as immune as they believe themselves to be. Additionally, what they might think, or hope, is their support, their security, their safe space, doesn’t really exist.

Most of society’s guardians, whether they are law enforcement or military, are card-carrying members of the Deplorables.

France was similarly constructed in the late 1780s. The elite were isolated only in thought, not in reality. Their protection was of a Potemkin Village nature: not actually there, but merely a facade that gave them false comfort.

They paid dearly for their arrogance and ignorance.”
