Not all the discontent is abroad but they are more vulnerable.  Those in the USA are less vulnerable because they will be protected by militarized police forces under domestic command and control.  Where governmental militarized police forces do not exert domestic tax funded protection then Privatized Security Forces will.  The growth of Private Security abroad funded by the USA is a model that has come home to roost.  Standing Rock and Tiger Swan for example.

An indicator of what is coming?  This, I think.  Oligarchs do not have to depend on the tax payer to fund their security.  Privatize it at public expense if possible.  Pay for it out of pocket as a cost of doing business.  http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/12/trump-likely-to-retain-a-private-security-force-as-president.html  Presidential protection will protect the Private Protectors!

Tom Engelhardt presents Trip Wire scenarios involving Trump enterprises.

Trump himself is the biggest Trip Wire that would set the world on fire.

I admire Tom Engelhardt,  everything he writes and all the guest writers he chooses.

I am fearful that Tom has looked into the future and told us a probable truth that he sees written on the wall.

Independently I see the same thing and Tom has expressed it for me.

This from NakedCapitalism.com:  Two people I admire the most have the same view.  "Is all too Plausible' = Writing on the Wall!

"Yves here. The scenario of Trump properties being targeted (both domestically as well as internationally) is all too plausible."
