Things are coming unglued in Trumpland. Manafort likely going to jail. Cohen flipping. And now Princess Ivanka and her two idiot brothers have been swept into a lawsuit by the New York State Attorney General regarding serious charity fraud charges. It appears Trump was siphoning funds from a charity to pay legal bills and other expenses.
Trump needs a major distraction. He needs something so big the country will overlook his many crimes and allow him the elbow room to usher in a full-blown police-state dictatorship. Keep an eye on Erik Prince, he’s the perfect mercenary with the right connections to get the job done. My guess is it will be staged to implicate Iran, the apex of the neo-con mideast target list. As they used to say in the G.W. Bush administration; “Real men march to Tehran”.
To support my theory, I submit this excerpt from a very, very important New Yorker article:
How President Trump Could Seize More Power After a Terrorist Attack
(Excerpt)
“One of the questions raised by Trump’s claims that the media and the courts have endangered the country is what he would do in the event of a terrorist attack.
Jack Goldsmith, a former senior Justice Department official in the George W. Bush Administration, who helped design the post-9/11 anti-terror legal architecture, recently suggested that Trump might actually want his travel ban to be overturned. That way, in the wake of an attack, he can use the judiciary as a bogeyman and justify any new efforts to push through more extreme measures.
I asked Goldsmith and others what the menu of options might be for a President Trump empowered by the justifiable fears Americans would have in the aftermath of a serious attack. “If it is a large and grim attack, he might ask for more surveillance powers inside the U.S. (including fewer restrictions on data mingling and storage and queries), more immigration control power at the border, an exception to Posse Comitatus (which prohibits the military from law enforcement in the homeland), and perhaps more immigration-related detention powers,” Goldsmith wrote in an e-mail. “In the extreme scenario Trump could ask Congress to suspend the writ of habeas corpus, which would cut off the kind of access to courts you are seeing right now for everyone (or for every class of persons for which the writ is suspended).”

“Todd Breasseale, the former assistant secretary for public affairs at the Department of Homeland Security, was also alarmed. “I had a very similar discussion with a former senior intel official on this very issue, before Jack’s column,” he told me. “We both wholly believe that Trump needs a bogeyman. But, more importantly, he needs distraction and a blame source. In terrorists, he has his bogeyman. In his control of the prevailing press narrative via tweet, he has distraction. And, in the judiciary, he has a source of blame for why his way was right from the beginning.” Breasseale added, “I am fully confident that an attack is exactly what he wants and needs.”

When it happens, be skeptical, not emotional. It will likely be spectacular, damaging, and painful, but see it as what it will be; cover for trump to consolidate power and move this country into a place it has never been before.
Trump – 6-15-2018:
Regarding North Korean Dictator Kim:
“He’s the head of the country — and he’s the strong head, don’t let anyone think anything different,” Trump said during the interview. “He speaks and his people sit up in attention. I want my people to do the same.”
And this, from ForeignPolicy.com
“A senior advisor to the State Department appointed just two months ago has been quietly vetting career diplomats and American employees of international institutions to determine whether they are loyal to President Donald Trump and his political agenda, according to nearly a dozen current and former U.S. officials.”
