Hosting Upgrade Appeal

Dear Visitor. The Tap has become increasingly busy over the last few weeks with many more visitors and sign ups. It's currently creaking and slowing. We need a hosting account upgrade to help cope with the increased activity and keep this free blog online. In this age of great change The Tap is a valuable independent resource where we can come together and share information the controlling parasites would rather we didn't have. It would be sad to lose it but it costs to keep it going and free to use. If any of you can help donate even a small amount towards the hosting upgrade that would be a big help. Your small donation makes a huge difference. Thank you in advance. Click here to donate


Trump may be different this time around – Rappaport

This article isn’t for people who believe we’re encased in a giant conspiracy we can’t do anything about.

That belief is a BOX, and we have to look at what may be outside the box.

I’m not abandoning my skepticism, either. I repeat: I don’t trust politicians.

First, we have to drop the idea that because people are imperfect, because they act on self-interest, they’ll never doing anything good.

OK, with all that in tow, here’s why I think this Trump term could be very different from the first one:

A list of imperfect people—Musk, Vivek, Kennedy, Tom Homan, Matt Gaetz, Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, Tucker Carlson.

I don’t trust any of them as far as I can throw them. Unless and until I see RESULTS.

BUT…I see in them an intent to upset the applecart of the political establishment. They want to kick some serious asses who are dedicated to long-standing corruption.

Yeah, I know…the people on the above list aren’t angels. Some of them have their own corruptions.

So what else is new?

On balance, are they there to PRETEND they’re warriors for the right reasons, or are they there to make something big and honest happen?

ON BALANCE, are these people willing to go to the wall for the right reasons?

There’s a chance they might be.

Through inaction, stupidity, and fear, could Trump derail them? Yeah, he could.

WE’RE NOT DEALING WITH A PERFECT SITUATION. FAR FROM IT.

Were the Founders and Framers of the Constitution acting purely on the basis of doing the right thing, apart from any self-interest, apart from any corruption in their own character? NO.

But they produced the Constitution.

Were the British Barons, who gradually revolted against the Crown and obtained more power, trying to stage a revolution for universal freedom? Hell no. But they contributed to the eventual birth of individual rights.

At every point along the way, during centuries of struggle and bloodshed which led to individual freedom and liberty…there were people standing on the sidelines saying THIS WILL NEVER WORK. LOOK AT THE PEOPLE LEADING THE MOVEMENT. THEY’RE GREEDY. THEY’RE CORRUPT. SO WE’LL NEVER GET LIBERTY. SO LET’S DO NOTHING.

Right now could be one of those moments.

I’m saying let’s take a fucking chance:…

    Brian Berletic describes this as hopium.

    Berletic’s on the money. Mind you, he’s military, not political, which is all about games and double play. Another view of the unfolding picture. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FdQrcETSKs

    I would describe Brian as someone who got out of the military pretty damn quick when his eyes were opened, and at a very young age, and has used his experience to develop his analytical skills along with his insight into the military to become an astute analyst. The way he continually references the various Rand reports and the Continuity of the deep state agenda regardless of who is in the White House is brave and unusual, for so many are more interested in protecting their precious incomes. I could name names but will refrain. They speak with Brian but lack his courage and independence of spirit. Too much ego involved.
