SPUTNIK AND 2016 COUP D'ETAT
SPUTNIK AND 2016 COUP D'ETAT
Russia jumped ahead of us with Sputnik, remember? Grade school kids were introduced to new math, and patriotic nationalism, to catch up and pass them, technologically.
This was back in the late '50s and early '60s. Names like Yuri Gorgen, Russian, Gus Grisham, American, resulted in a space race.Thus, John Kennedy's plan to put a man on the Moon met receptive audiences.
Now, Russia's latest "Sputnik" may be its cybersecurity superiority capacity that has resulted in the election of United States President Donald Trump, in 2016, via cyber electoral hijinks involving its cyber security advantage. Meanwhile, Trump, whose claimed fortune, in the billions, was bankrolled from serial bankruptcies by a cadre of rich international Russian criminals, government or intelligence officials, according to some news reports!
That would mean, if any of these bewildering speculations are true, that an American coup d'etat has just occurred on our watch, in our presence, without our knowledge!
