Here is what Donald Trump should call for this morning. This is the right time to up his ante in the struggle against the Lügenpresse. All his efforts to fix the sinking ship of the US society are in vain with a breach below the waterline. If the Fake News applauds every jerk in a mantle who stops a presidential decree, the jerks will multiply and president’s decrees will be worth what? A collector’s rarity. A quirky exhibit from the days of Donald Trump’s short-lived presidency. The fake news media ridiculed the POTUS so completely, that this big man with big orange hair shrunk down to Lilliput’s finger.
Trump can’t get out of his disposition by foreign policy acts. Forget about North Korea. It is a big hedgehog: a lot of bother to catch and kill, many prickles and no meat. The only thing Kim wants to tell Trump is “I am not a soft target, go look elsewhere”. Is North Korea dangerous? Only for those who want to step on it.
P G Wodehouse’s Mr Mulliner argued with anti-smoker lobby: “They come and tell me that if they place two drops of nicotine on the tongue of a dog the animal instantly dies and when I ask them if they have ever tried the childishly simple device of not placing nicotine on the dog’s tongue, they have nothing to reply They are nonplussed. They go away mumbling something about never having thought of that before.”
This line of argument is perfectly valid referring to North Korea. Try the childishly simple device of not interfering with it, of not sending troops and ships and jets there. This far-away place can, and should be forgotten, as it had been forgotten for many, many years. If you really want to do something about North Korea, move your troops and your aircraft carriers elsewhere, say to Norfolk, Virginia; they will be more appreciated there. You will be praised for your wisdom by South Koreans and by Japanese, and by your base in the US.
The fake news media will surely say that you’ve got cold feet and ran away from little fat Kim. But they will say something nasty in any case. Even if you were to unleash a nuclear holocaust upon Korea, they will write: he did it because Mueller’s FBI agents searched Paul Manaforte’s home and discovered he is a Russian spy.
They did not pay attention to the great victory you won a day earlier, when you and your Secretary of State convinced the Russians and the Chinese to vote for a North Korea sanctions draft in the Security Council. It was one of those great diplomatic victories, but the Lugenpresse didn’t say a word about it.
Let us come to the point. Your enemy is not Kim, your enemy is your mainstream mass media. Sure, it is not the only enemy, but if this enemy could be knocked out, the judges would obey, the congressmen would fall into line, Mueller would be sent back to oblivion. There is a problem, how to subdue this stubborn enemy.
You tried a Trump TV Real News and have been rightly ridiculed by all and sundry. Though Kayleigh McEnany is not painful for the eye, this sort of TV had been out of fashion even in Saudi Arabia. The Saudis prefer to watch the forbidden Al Jazeera.
You can’t bomb the headquarters of New York Times or of CNN. Does it mean you are absolutely vulnerable? Yes, you are, unless you instill some fear in the dark souls of the media lords and their allies. Your buddy Putin had been in the same situation you are now, until he arrested Mr Khodorkovsky, the oligarch, in 2003. When this richest man in Russia had been sent to jail for ten years, the media lords of Russia saw the light. They understood they were playing a dangerous game.
The American media men are not different. The Colonel’s Lady an’ Judy O’Grady Are sisters under their skins, said the poet. Show them a flayed media lord, and they will become much, much more reasonable.
And here I’d suggest dealing with Jeff Bezos, first of all and immediately. He is a father of the North Korean crisis, let him be the first victim of it. It is his claim that Koreans produced that nuclear warhead that jump-started the crisis. The jerk did it at the anniversary of the greatest atrocity of all times,the Hiroshima bombing.
If there will be a nuclear war, we can call it Jeff Bezos War.
Jeff Bezos is the richest man on our planet. If there is somebody to hate, it’s got to be him. Do him in, Donald. Skin him. As opposed to North Korea, he is a soft target. A new-rich, a smart kid out of nothing. No old money, no old school ties behind him. Who will support him? The CIA? Cut the CIA budget for the exact amount they pay to Bezos, so the spooks will understand the message.
Go after his advertisers. Kick his reporters out of White House. Ask, no, demand that the FBI to investigate his doings. A rich guy like Bezos has surely committed multiple crimes, no doubt. If the FBI can’t discover his crimes, sack the head of the FBI, and take the one who can. Unleash all the hate you can find upon his head. And when he is be taken to prison, you’ll know: the rest will become more careful with their tongues. And the best: rip him off his ill-gotten gains and use that to provide health care for every American. It should be enough. Probably you could cover all the student loans with the change. And you will be able to proceed with your necessary reforms.
So, Donald, start every day of yours with a great booming call: “Bring me the head of Jeff Bezos”!
And the greatest crime of Bezos isn’t punishable by law. The man stole the good name of Washington Post, the glorious newspaper of old, the newspaper of Bernstein, Woodward, Seymour Hersh and many other wonderful American journalists and reporters. He turned the venerable paper into propaganda tool by appointing a campaign chief of staff instead of a professional man. If Lenovo is not allowed to use the name of IBM, though they bought the company, Bezos should not be allowed to use the name of good old WaPo. Let him call it Bezos Post.
Thus the campaign against Bezos is not against freedom of press, au contraire, it is for saving the press from moneybags.

Commentary by the Saker:
Israel is 100% correct. Trump absolutely needs to turn against his internal enemies. First, as Israel says, because his external enemies are really not enemies or, when they are, they are not much of a threat. But, second, and most importantly because his internal enemies will stop at nothing to destroy, humiliate and otherwise sabotage every effort, every policy, every initiative. Simply put: when you are being attacked by a pack of hyenas, you do not worry about swatting the mosquito buzzing around your heard. I have been warning that Trump survival depended on him crushing the Neocons (just as Putin’s dependent on him crushing the oligarchs) and I decided to repost this article by Israel, with his kind permission, to give it my full support. Personally, I think that it is already too late, Trump betrayed Flynn and Bannon and now nobody will stick his head out in defense of Trump, but I hope that I am wrong and that Trump will have a 11th hour epiphany and understand that it is very simple “he or them”.
The Saker
You’re not going to change anything as long as the lobby system is in place. The issue is systemic. The system favors the rich i.e. the oligarchs/business leaders. Giant corporations end up having major influences over goverment decisions – often to detriment of people and society.
Trump was brought up under such a system. He knows nothing else. 99% percent of American politicians knows nothing else but to perpetuate such imbalances in representation. Money is king.
Fundamentally, nothing will change no matter who they put as the POTUS.
Folks can dream of course, it’s free :)
P.S. How Putin threw off the Russian oligarchs is worthy study. With a centralized political system it was much much easier to make changes, though this itself is weakness. It has its pros and cons.
Putin had to enormous advantages over Trump:
1. He was backed by patriotic people in sufficiently influential positions.
2. He never let himself get corrupted that secured him the patriotic support.
Trump could maybe do without the support of policy makers, but the second condition is a must to get the support of the populace to strangle opponents.
As Trump does not seem to have these advantages, he is left with doing the dirty work himself. Short of machine-gunning congress, he won’t improve much.
Whist corporate lobbying does occur in the hallowed halls of Brussels (as well as revolving-doorism), one of the strengths of the EU (yes, there are many, in fact) is that there is much more effective legislation than in the USA/Canada, and very close monitoring of what is attempted. That by USA/Blobalist/TNC lobbyists is particularly unfavourably looked up by Brussels and Strasbourg.
This is one of the many reasons the USA is determined to bring down the EU project, through through wars, immigrant influx, its powerful Nato tool, IMF manipulation and the instigated -exit movements. It was somewhat disconcerting the find people on forums such as this one cheerleading the obviously phoney Brexit vote last year (fortunately it won’t occur).
Saker,
No need to hope that you are wrong, because you are not wrong.
It has nothing to do with being late or not for Trump.
Trump is a product of the corrupt American society and its elite, just as the Neo-cons are. He will do no such thing as combating the neo-cons, he wouldn’t dare too.
You can hope all you want but it will do no good. Besides Trump can be easily assasinated if necessary by a so called “nutcase” or “crazy”.
Better to get some popcorn and watch the Americans eat eachother alive.
A great play off the title of a movie from the past,”Bring me the head of Alfredo Garcia”. But as the Saker and the author say,Trump either has to “tame” his internal enemies,or he will be destroyed by them. I, like Saker, believe he can’t/won’t do it. The reason,I believe,is the one Stormcloud mentioned in his post. The US is not a centralized regime structure. And while ,yes,there are pro’s and con’s to that. When it comes to making important ( and quick) changes to a government and society. The decentralized state,can be manipulated by different power bases to prevent that change when it affects their interests
. They are effectively using that with Trump today. Putin, had the power in a more centralized system to “tame” ,at least to a great extend ,his internal opposition. While Trump is hamstrung on almost every internal move he makes by the US oligarchical system. Its unheard of that say, St Petersburg,or Rostov,would file lawsuits to deny Putin’s administration’s orders. And that if the Duma passed laws the opponents would successfully get the courts to overrule those laws.The US “deep state” plays the US system “like a fiddle”,and is successful at it. Trump hasn’t even got control of his own party in the Congress. As a guess,a third of them like him,a third hate him,and the other third side with one or the other side only on specific issues. While in contrast ,his official opposition party almost all just hate him.This same chaos is reflected throughout the system. From the regime officials in Washington DC,to the State regime level,to the local regime structures in the States down to County,and City level.Every move Trump tries to make is immediately challenged in a court or more than one, in different parts of the country.So that then prevents change for at least months if not totally. And all the while the elite owned MSN crucifies him daily all over the newspapers,and TV,over the change he is trying to make. Its a planned move of the deep state to overthrow his regime. With decades of experience in subverting democracies in other nations they know the tricks to use in their own homeland.
So yes if Trump would summon the intelligence and courage of a Putin. And use the powers he “theoretically” has, to crush his internal enemies he might survive. But I don’t see him having that type of intelligence and courage (hopefully I’m wrong,but doubt it). The “head” of a Bezos would be a good start. But he needs to take a few others to go with that one. A whole string of those of the Washington “deep state” leadership,in and out of Congress.Need to decorate his trophy room,in the manner of “big game” hunter trophies.
@ Uncle Bob
With much respect to your sagacity, Uncle Sam personifies a centralised political system. Regardless of the constitutional machinery in place – with the presupposed division of power among the three branches of government – raw power is the ultimate and decisive factor, and its source is independent of political allegiances and rule of law. Of course, democracy is a figleaf adornment.
Your own conclusion admits as much when alluding to the “deep state leadership” – a collective of like-minded powerful figures who control the legislative, executive and judiciary levers of government. Power is dispersed among those individuals, but all pertain to the supranational money clique – “the ruling elite” – who dictate political decisions and everything else that matters in our lives, because ultimately we all are subject to their power whether to enforce unwanted vaccinations or incinerate the Earth in a nuclear Armageddon. Like the Hydra, it may have many heads, but all subscribe to the belief system embodied in capitalism: exploitation of the masses for the benefit of the chosen few.
I maybe didn’t make myself plain. Yes I agree with you than when the deep state is working on a common wave length it can work in a centralized manner. But the system isn’t “necessarily” set up that way. And when the powers that be don’t work together (like many of them aren’t today). Then all the decentralized built in elements in the system come into play.And chaos takes the lead.
Trump alone is Trump vs The Deep State- and who here is stupid enough to think that one man alone could stand up to the combined forces of the Deep State. The real question is why Putin refused to partner Trump immediately after his election and Team up with him. Alone and Trump was always going to fall.
Let me make this even clearer. In the USA every outspoken person that matters now works for the Deep State. ‘Political Correctness’ (shorthand for all the Deep State conditioning that has affected every American across most of the 20th century to the present day- but has got exponentially worse in the last three decades) makes people on our side reticent and self-censoring (in public). So the Deep State had wave after wave after wave after wave of people to throw at Trump from every section of society- political, education, religion, law, business etc. All telling President Trump to operate in very specific ways.
And Trump had no-one from our side- just a few useless maverick crazies. And as a result his resolve was broken.
Once they broke Trump they started to build him back up in the mold they needed. So anti-war Trump became pro-war Trump – all while Putin kept his distance and therefore made this inevitable.
Now remodelled Trump is more useless than even Obama, and certainly no Clinton. He rattles off in the ‘right’ direction now, but brainwashing via ‘cult’ mental battering doesn’t make a person an ideal advocate. But he is no longer anti-Deep State and that is the best the Deep State could hope for.
The real question is not zionist distraction nonsense like N Korea, but whether they can build a road to war with Iran while Trump is in charge. New Trump is pro-war Trump, but even Trump will ask “what comes next” and on learning Iran can defend itself with a modern mid-range ground-to-ground missile system, can’t get past Iran’s potential to hurt the ‘master race’ population of Israel and destroy the wahhabi base in Saudi Arabia. For a person like Trump- who will never see the demonic ‘bigger’ picture- an unprovoked war with Iran seems insane for the USA and its allies.
Let’s face it- only another false-flag on the scale of 911 could change Trump’s mind re:Iran, and the Deep State is clearly scared to go down that route again. Too many eyes today- and too many people ready to join the dots.
Sure they could kill Trump, but Pence is utterly unacceptable to too many Americans as a president. And the US system doesn’t allow for a new early election.
So today they just continue with their game of ‘kick the Trump’- but the media bashing degrades a person they’ve actually made their asset so is self-defeating. And we should rejoice at this. However ‘kick the Trump’ is also paired with ‘kick Russia’ – the active effort to degrade Russian influence and commerce across the Earth. And while many on our side shamefully bury their head in the sand over the issue, the project to demonise Russia is increasingly successful for the Deep State.
Everything Russian is now ‘garbage’ or ‘evil’ in the minds of the majority of the West’s sheeple. And this enables NATO to enter ever more nations around Russia. Russian citizens are frequent targets of the US goverment when they travel anywhere outside Russia- and Putin does exactly zero to help these citzens when they are kidnapped by a slave state to the USA and then shipped to the USA. To such an extent ‘Russian’ is now synonomous with ‘serious criminal’, so any international arrest warrant will get a Russian detained anywhere outside of Russian direct control.
If Trump cannot permit war with Iran, he can sure be made to lay down the groundwork for this when the ‘right’ person is president next time- and he sure can sign off on more and more anti-Russian initiatives. True that Trump will do nothing in Syria or Ukraine (that matters) while Putin carries on holding a strong position in both, but this is a waiting game for the if/when Russian resolve slips.
Myself, I think they will go the ‘false flag’ way, dangers and all, cos waiting out Trump’s term will be just too painful. This won’t be a claimed Iran terror act in the West. That would be way too difficult to sell. It will be a massive ‘event’ in Iran, Israel or Saudi Arabia involving the use of a ‘weapon of mass destruction’. Most likely chemical. Less likely nuclear. less likely again biological.
‘In Iran’ you say- ‘how could that work out?’ Simple- ‘proof’ of Iran’s manufacture and ‘carelessness’ with WMD- when an Iranian military WMD accidently goes off killing tens of thousands of Iranian civilians- proving that regime change is essential. False flags in SA or Israel would seem more ‘straightforward’ – but the ‘how’ and ‘why’ questions would challenge the false-flag story to possible breaking point. A false-flag in Iran itself is far more ingeneous.
The Iranian location of the false flag will- by one of those amazing coincidences- have received a lot of ‘innocent’ media coverage in the earlier months in the West’s mainstream media. Like how the world trade centre towers- boring and dull to the media for all the years after construction, suddenly had a year of continuous fame in the media- culminating with the promotion for the ‘new’ Spiderman movie (2001) having spiderman cast a giant web between the towers to catch a helicopter full of baddies.
Wherever they intend to false flag, that town or city will get vastly elevated coverage in the earlier year. Ideally Trump will even have cause to visit on some innoculous excuse. The name of the target in Iran (or SA or Israel) must be familiar and fresh in the minds of the sheeple.
Anyway Trump comes after the ‘cool’ period of Obama- when they first failed to get Clinton elected. Obama was too ‘wet’ and independent for them- but they settled themselves on the ‘fact’ that Obama would ensure the election of Clinton. They expected to do more with 6 months of Clinton than the previous 8 years of ‘wet’ Obama. We know they are not going to accept another 4-8 years of ‘slow’ action under Trump.
But they may be satisfied with a rapid expansion of the influence of the Empire of the West, and a decline of ‘fainthearted’ Russia as Putin continues to refuse to stand up to the West- and continues voting to back US/UK resolutions at the UN- shaming Russia in the eyes of all observers. And Trump is 100% in favour of immediate persecution of Iran in every way possible short of war. That requires breaking the will of the International Community – but with Russia not willing to be the other Empire Power, the community will accept that the USA is the only game in town, and fold.
So if 4 years of Trump leaves a situation immediatley ready for escalation to war with Iran, and Russia an irrelevant ‘well whipped dog’ that has never tried to bite the whip hand of its ‘master’, the USA, then I think the Deep State can just about tolerate that progress. And anyone who says “who cares”, because in the background Russia will be four years better prepared to fight any war I say “true but so what because no sane person wants mutual suicide- and that’s where Putin’s current strategy is taking the Human Race”.
Russia should have bitten off the whip hand when the USA imposed neo-nazi anti-Russian rule in Ukraine. Russia should have bitten off the whip hand when the USA attacked Russia’s ally, the Syrian govenment, with cruise missiles. Russia should have bitten off the whip hand when the Congress of the USA bloc voted to lump Russia in with Iran and N Korea and sanction all three.
The Deep State demons take it for granted that Russia is no obstacle to their plans. It is time for Russia to show otherwise and give Trump a reason not to be anti-Russian.
I share your frustration over Ukraine. But I think you misunderstand Putin’s position. He isn’t a dictator (though the Western MSN constantly say he is),he faces a schism even in his government between the patriotic forces,and the pro-Western forces.He can’t snap his fingers and everyone obeys him. He himself in my opinion believed (believes?) that he can deal with the West in the end. And so walks more of a line between those two groups than I would approve of myself. But that is his way. He doesn’t like strife in his inner circle.And after seeing Trump’s problems who can blame him for that.
But that is in internal and Ukraine matters. Other problems like Trump he doesn’t consider his business to get involved with. Just look at the uproar in the US at the mere thought that Trump might be friends with Putin. If Putin had made a big effort to befriend Trump publicly. The US media and deep state would have skinned Trump alive. Putin actually was doing Trump a favor by not befriending him.And I think they both know that.If Trump is able to survive,then you will see Putin move to befriend him more. But that is a big “if” on Trump’s survival.
Venezuela could be the payback you are searching for.
Can you list two or three of
“from our side- just a few useless maverick crazies.”
please?
I mean, if it’s ok, just to broaden the view of a foreigner…
I am keenly looking toward ( maybe not looking forward to it… ) a modern day version of the Nika riots – where the antagonistic Blue and Green ( shall we say the Left and the Neocons of today? ) supporters of the great hippodrome’s charioteers spontaneously rebelled against Emperor Justinian and paid for it with their lives.
That day Justinian, with help from a steel-backboned Theodora, found his courage and unleashed his generals Belisarius and Narses on all the treasonous rebels, slaughtering, by some accounts, up to 30,000 and expropriating their households.
The tree of liberty *does* need occasional watering with blood, sometimes buckets, other times cataracts.
all Trump’s enemies are Israeilis – aren’t they ? Doesn’t Israel – own the media ?
I don’t get it – and I don’t know Bezo’s relationship to Zionism. And please don’t anyone tell me to look it up on the Internet –
Bezos came up through wall street. He left to start (or was ordered to start?) Amazon. He is now a deep state actor for the US federal government hence the 600 million dollar cloud based service for the CIA. There is truly nothing Trump could do to Bezos. Bezos is part of the deep state.
This idea that trump is one of us, while he fullfils every zionazi wet dream is ludicrous. No different from the bs pronouncing obambam was one of us. This making pathetic excuses for a very obvious fraud is teaching an absurd level.
BTW, the zionazi quisling homosexual club, who dub themselves “conservative talk radio” in pindoland are ecstatic beyond measure at trump’s adolescent rubbish about DRPK. This less than human freakshow literally controls pindo radio.
The israelis continue to laugh at how easily it is to dupe others into thinking israeli quislings are on their side.
I totally agree.
Obama’s “Hope and Change” is
Trump’s “Make America Great Again.”
Americans will not vote themselves out of the criminality and corruption.
Trump Says ‘Military Option’ in Venezuela a Possibility
https://sputniknews.com/news/201708121056397879-trump-military-option-venezual-possibility/
“On Friday, US President Donald Trump said that Washington has a menu of options for dealing with the crisis in Venezuela, noting that “a military option is certainly something we could pursue.”
Wake up, koolaiders, trump is every bit the neocon bush jr is. Why do you think the zionazi quisling’s regime duplicates the bush jr freakshow so closely.
Venezuelan Defense Minister Calls Trump’s Military Action Warning ‘Crazy Act’
https://sputniknews.com/politics/201708121056400400-venezuela-defense-minister-trump/
“Trump told reporters the United States would not rule out taking military action against Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro, citing a rising number of protest-related deaths in this South American country.
“It is a crazy act, the ultimate manifestation of extremism. The United States is controlled by an extremist elite,” the minister told the local VTV television channel.
Venezuelan Communications Minister Ernesto Villegas said on Twitter that Trump’s threat would bring all citizens together to protect the country and prevent a possible US invasion. The Foreign Ministry will soon issue its official response to Trump’s announcement, he added.”
Trump Rules Out Talks With Venezuela’s Maduro Until ‘Democracy Restored’
https://sputniknews.com/us/201708121056400450-trump-maduro-phone-call-democracy/
“The Trump administration said Washington stood with the people of Venezuela and demanded that President Maduro “respect Venezuela’s constitution, hold free and fair elections, release political prisoners, cease all human rights violations, and stop oppressing Venezuela’s great people.”
“Today, Nicolas Maduro requested a phone call with President Donald J. Trump… President Trump will gladly speak with the leader of Venezuela as soon as democracy is restored in that country,” the statement read.
Maduro said Thursday he had ordered his foreign minister to arrange a private meeting or a phone conversation with Trump. The US president stepped up his rhetoric on Venezuela on Friday, warning he would not rule out a military option for Venezuela. The Pentagon spokesman denied receiving any specific orders.”
The zionazi turd is doing all the things people here opposed about clinton. Exactly the same. Trump is a neocon, a devout neocon.
I wouldn’t want to be with U.S. troops coming up that scary road to Caracas from the airport. Armored vehicles can’t go 80 mph to avoid the armed banditos.
As I watch daily the US media and President whip the country into war fever. I think we have finally found “common ground” that the neo-con deep state and regime leaders can agree on. Not being able to fight the deep state. Trump appears to have decided to try joining them. Hoping that war success will save him from them. I think Trump believes the propaganda that the US rules the World. And can whenever they want destroy any country they want to.
It is vitally important that the Russian and Chinese leaders take off the blinds they are wearing. And clearly see what is happening inside the US. By kowtowing to the US they now have a situation that only “plain talk” and possibly even military action is left to stop the US. From seeing Russia and China not standing up to the US. They’ve given the US the idea they will never stand up to them. No matter what they do (whether they are right is yet to be seen). Its beyond foolish that Russia and China don’t understand that they themselves will be the victims of the ramp up to war when the US decides its “their turn”.
We are closer to the outbreak of major war than we’ve been since the Cuban Missile Crisis. The US must be either stopped. Or be allowed to commit aggressive war at their will. While its a positive sign that China “hinted” that they would support North Korea if they were attacked in an unprovoked attack. But that isn’t nearly enough. That warning isn’t being reported fully inside the US. And China will need to make their position much clearer. And Russia should publicly support that stand. This US insanity is a direct threat to the survival of Russia and China. And they “must” understand that before it is too late.
“You can’t bomb the headquarters of New York Times or of CNN.”
With all due respect, it is my contention that Israel Shamir is seriously mistaken here. Donald Trump could indeed bomb not just those two HQs, but indeed add Washington Post (Jeff Bezos) to the list as well. He only needs to hint at the well-known evils of Russia, the DPRK, China etc. to blame them for “the attacks on our Free Press”. Pindos just love this kind of nonsense.
Donald, if you read this piece of advice and approve of it, please let me know.
It is unfait to make a compariosn with Vladimir Putin. Putin was a member of the Deep State, therefore he could act against Khodorkovsky.
However, what you write about North Korea is interesting : what if the US Deep State, after having neutered Trump on Russia, forced him to humiliate himself against North Korea, as you very accurately describe ? This would indeed be the end of him, politically.
It seems that is underway…
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/jeff-bezos-bill-gates-mark-zuckerberg-lose-billions-donald-trump-north-korea-us-tensions-worth-a7888106.html
Shamir is right, or course, Zionstream media is the elephant in the room, and “Bring me the head of Jeff Bezo!” would indeed make a great one-liner in any TV series.
Nonetheless, Shamir’s advise to Trump to go after Jeff Bezo is more of a joke than an actionable plan, but it puts the spotlight right on one of Trump’s administration’s key weakness: It is so understaffed, disorganized & bamboozled by the relentless attacks, left, right and center, by the mercurial neo-Bolsheviks, that even going after a single CIA lifetime actor like Bezo is way beyond its scope.
BRAVO!!! Well said Israel and Saker!
Thanks so much for speaking out!
Way, way too much “spectatoritis” infects the global population, including that of the visitors to the Vineyard of the Saker.
It IS a “Really, Really Big Show!” after all.
https://youtu.be/gHXu51MzTVQ
Or “Shoe” as Ed Sullivan used to pronounce it.
This mind control conditioning (The Show is BIG, you are very, very, very small!) actually has visitors here advocating that you not try to grow any larger, but shrink instead into your seat at home or in the theater, grab your “popcorn” and watch the Show.”
Ridiculous.
Stupid.
Highly immoral.
Disgusting.
Which of course could very easily turn into a Horror Show that will leap out of the screen and scorch your eyebrows and burn up the paper holding your popcorn.
Instead, how about “turning the flank” of the enemy???
Which is more internal (in terms of consciousness….) than external.
Shamir suggests ONE very useful flank would be Bozos, The New Clown Prince of MSM.
Many spectators demur.
They are quite comfortable watching the Really, Really Big Show, and very uncomfortable about the idea of getting out of their seats and picketing the Theater Owner.
And they don’t mind fireworks at the end! In fact, they expect fireworks as their inalienable right, for having had tickets!
Meanwhile even very informed persons, on the most promising flank in years, rather than get out of their pundit seats, think like this excerpt, from this very thread, by Twilight:
“However ‘kick the Trump’ is also paired with ‘kick Russia’ – the active effort to degrade Russian influence and commerce across the Earth. And while many on our side shamefully bury their head in the sand over the issue, the project to demonise Russia is increasingly successful for the Deep State.
Everything Russian is now ‘garbage’ or ‘evil’ in the minds of the majority of the West’s sheeple. And this enables NATO to enter ever more nations around Russia. Russian citizens are frequent targets of the US goverment when they travel anywhere outside Russia- and Putin does exactly zero to help these citzens when they are kidnapped by a slave state to the USA and then shipped to the USA. To such an extent ‘Russian’ is now synonomous with ‘serious criminal’, so any international arrest warrant will get a Russian detained anywhere outside of Russian direct control.”
Whatever happened to “The Truth Will Win Out In the End”????
This defeatism is just silly. The Truth has been PROVEN !
Why wouldn’t you run with it, turn this wide open (disbelieved by more percentage of Americans, apparently, than accepted as defeat by Vineyarders….) flank against the Deep State and hurt them badly on that flank, the flank that should warm the cockels of Vineyarders hearts more than any other weak flank of the Enemy of Humanity???
The laughably stupid “Russia-gate” flank.
I’m not crazy about these guys, but if they can do it, Why Can’t You???:
http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/hack-dnc-wikileaks-julian-assange/2017/08/10/id/807016/
It starts:
“The Democratic National Committee was not hacked by Russia — nor by anyone else — but instead was “an inside job by someone with access to the DNC’s system,” according to a report in The Nation.
There was no hack of the Democratic National Committee’s system on July 5 last year — not by the Russians, not by anyone else,” according to the Nation’s report, referencing conclusions by a group of former NSA computer experts.
Hard science now demonstrates it was a leak — a download executed locally with a memory key or a similarly portable data-storage device.
“In short, it was an inside job by someone with access to the DNC’s system,” the experts concluded, since a remote hack of the committee’s servers — with the volume of data stolen — would have been technologically impossible.”
So WHY are going to concede that flank, Twilight, Vot Tak and many others????
Ridiculous, IMHO.
What can explain such lack of flanking mobility???
A debilitating disease of the mind, Spectatoritis!!!
You get stuck in your armchair and can’t move. Anticipating, even hoping for some real fireworks at the end of The Really Big Show…….which does not include you as an actor.
Consider leaving your spectator’s seat and being more actor, than spectator.
Please. Victory (stopping the Empire’s War on Russia….rather than having it go HOT, as many here seem to yearn for….) is not possible, IMHO without millions of persons making that breakthrough in consciousness, not only on this particular flank, but Israel Shamir’s suggested flank and many, many others, as well.
Nice oration in the Forum this morning Bro.
An interesting view.

“So WHY are going to concede that flank, Twilight, Vot Tak and many others????”
What are you rattling on about?
VT:
What “cage” am I rattling??
Veterans Intelligence Professionals for Sanity have proven the British instigated fraud of “Russia-gate” forensically..
Not a “hack” by anyone, least of all Russia.
That’s a gaping, wide open exposed flank of the Empire.
But many a “resister” against the Empire, like Twilight, seemingly prefers to concede that flank, utterly, with such thoughts as ”
“the project to demonise Russia is increasingly successful for the Deep State.
Everything Russian is now ‘garbage’ or ‘evil’ in the minds of the majority of the West’s sheeple. And this enables NATO to enter ever more nations around Russia. Russian citizens are frequent targets of the US goverment when they travel anywhere outside Russia- and Putin does exactly zero to help these citzens when they are kidnapped by a slave state to the USA and then shipped to the USA. To such an extent ‘Russian’ is now synonymous with ‘serious criminal’, so any international arrest warrant will get a Russian detained anywhere outside of Russian direct control.”
Really???? As though that were an irreversible given!
Instead of recognizing that The Rump of the Empire is out there 100% exposed for hard kicking on the VIPS flank???
But rather than mobilize “pindos” to do some hard kicking and free more of their fellow pindos from mind control, many would prefer to write them all off as hopeless idiots, grab their popcorn, and get ready to watch the fireworks of WW III.
That’s what I mean.
1) The worst case was the popcorn promoter.
2) Next was the defeatism of the very well informed but too pessimistic Twilight.
3) A very distant Third and Last (and thanks for your restraint) was the valiant VT (who does a yeoman’s duty informing thousands of people every day on many aspects of the struggle) who, even so, like myself without constant reminders not to, can occupy a spectator’s stance of watching this thing go to the “fireworks” instead of working the best of these people here (such as VIPS and those that can conceptually grasp the explosive promise of what they have provided us…..for blowing up “Russia-gate”..) to develop others in Pindoland, and swell the ranks of the informed and mobilized Anti Empire, former “pindos” so as to crush the Empire flank crushing Trump.
Instead of disdaining such flanks in favor of sticking to a favorite “schtick” talking point, watching a tragedy unfold, bitterly condemning this whole damned Ship of Fools, rather seeing that a few on board are getting with it, and deserve a helping, rallying hand.
That’s all. There is a lot of disdain for the current state of this “Homeland” and its long asleep inhabitants in many of us, including me, I DO confess………. Got to resist the temptation to sit back and watch them burn, however.
Spectatoritis is an infectious debilitating disease. Developing immunity to it is necessary work in this struggle to bring humanity through this crisis of Empire, largely unscathed, rather than mostly scorched to death…………
IMHO
That’s all!

Thanks for responding. My query mainly was about the association with the latest incarnation of the israel’s, or vandenberg’s, machine generated spam. Didn’t get the gist of the original comment.
My take of what you are saying is that I’m also posting some negative or defeatist stuff, mainly due to my attitude to israel’s tuppence regime.
My views on trump have not changed. I figured if his regime proved toxic, they would be much more vulnerable to resistance than a clinton regime would, given experience looking at this during the bush jr and obama regimes.
I was never a trump supporter beyond that.
The monkey wrenches being thrown in the tuppence regime works, IE: the panic striken push back in aipac’s congress to tuppence regime ott behaviour regarding DPRK are what I mean. The brand name trump has been demonised to the point that zionazi strategy faces additional hurdles, even within the closed world of zionazi imposed media, that would not exist under a clinton regime.
This is a good thing. Probably the only good thing that will come from the tuppence zionazis. A strategic opening.
He is right about NK. It’s just a decoy.
The target is Venezuela, cuz is the only one they can handle .
If the Russians…
The attitude presented here by Lavrov is interesting.
Who Benefits From Mainstream Media Scaremongering Over US-North Korea Crisis

“At the same time, the Russian top diplomat expressed hope that common sense will prevail in the situation. He underscored that the first step to defuse the tensions “should be taken by the stronger, smarter side.”
This reminds of parents lecturing their teenager for engaging in a spat with a much younger sibbling..
“You’re older and should know better…”
Very illuminating about how the Russians view israel’s pindo colonials.
Meanwhile, it looks like the Chinese have also repremanded the pindo zio-spoiled brats.
China Shows Readiness to ‘Punish Anyone’ Who Destabilizes Korean Peninsula
https://sputniknews.com/politics/201708121056403092-china-north-korea-crisis/
“China opposes both nuclear proliferation and war on the Korean Peninsula. It will not encourage any side to stir up military conflict, and will firmly resist any side that wants to change the status quo of the areas where China’s interests are concerned. … The Korean Peninsula is where the strategic interests of all sides converge, and no side should try to be the absolute dominator of the region,” the publication read.”
Start here.
Fire McMaster and all his hires.
Reinstate anyone he sacked.
Indict Hilary Clinton and no plea deals!
A good start. What would get Trump killed, and yet for many around the world the only way the US can win back ANY credibility is to hold a new 9/11 investigation and go “where only the independent researchers” have gone before – name names, prosecute the guilty, and if treason is proven, then execute the buggers (or not – I’m not a supporter of state sponsored executions. If Clinton, the Bushes or such were to actually try breaking into my house to do me harm would be a matter between me and their maker. Since I am not a Muslim or a Christian Palestinian or even a black or native Indian that is not likely to arise. ;)

Mexico Against Military Option in Settlement of Venezuelan Crisis
https://sputniknews.com/latam/201708131056419083-mexico-against-venezuela-military-option/
The Mexican government, in full compliance with the norms and principles of international law contained in the United Nations Charter and the Mexican Constitution, expresses its repudiation of the use or threat of use of force in international relations. The crisis in Venezuela cannot be resolved through domestic or foreign military actions,” the statement read.
Venezuelan Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino, in turn, said Friday that Trump’s threat of military action was an act of craziness.”
Great post (no pun intended), you both are 100% correct!
Best article I have read in years.
