Daleko zajímavější pohled ale skýtá volební program zveřejněný na Trumpových osobních stránkách. Nejenže napovídá, kdo za jeho kampaní stál, ale také, po čem šedé eminence v jejím pozadí touží. Pokud se například naplní sliby vizionářské sekce Kvantový skok, mohou v USA brzy vzniknout samosprávné městské mikrostáty ovládané autoritářskými miliardáři. V programu Donalda Trumpa pro ně existuje hezké jméno Freedom Cities – Města svobody. Full Article

Uteklo to jako voda. Hodnotíme ten čas v průzkumech, jako bychom nevěděli, že vypovídají nejvíc o nás samých. Je to dost, nebo málo, těch pětatřicet let? Co jsme dokázali a co jsme pokazili? Ohlédněme se ve Zpětném zrcátku za tím, co zůstane potomkům, až budou hodnotit našich pětatřicet let. Začátky jsou vždycky plné slunce, slibů a těšení. Nevěsta je panensky bílá, ženich čestný a silný. Ona symbol věčné lásky, on pevnost pravdy. Proto si bez váhání slíbí věrnost až do smrti, neboť jen tak pravda a láska zvítězí nad lží a nenávistí… Hudba hraje, všichni se drží kolem ramen a vše vypadá tak snadné a nadějné… Jako budoucnost, než se stane přítomností.
