For a lot of Trump supporters the past week has been a painful one. Whether we chose to react with abject panic or pretended like nothing happened, something did happen and it was something big: the Tree Letter Agencies pulled-off a de facto coup against Donald Trump by forcing him to fire his most important foreign policy advisor and the man who had dared to declare that he wanted to reform the bloated and largely ineffective US intelligence community.
There is no way of putting a brave face on what happened. Not only because it showed that Trump is not loyal to those who are loyal to him, but because this episode pretty much killed what I would call the “Trump dream”. I chose my words carefully here. I speak of “Trump dream” as opposed to the Trump reality. Let me explain.
The “Trump dream”
When Trump won the elections the spectrum of hopes about his actions was very wide. It ranged from “Trump will forever reshape the international system, end the Empire and bring peace and prosperity to the USA” to “he will never be as bad as Hillary no matter what he does”. On that spectrum, here is what I would list as the key elements of the “Trump dream”:
- Draining the swamp: kicking the Neocons down to the basement they crawled out of 24 years ago, reforming the US intelligence community, possibly even dissolving the CIA or, at the very least, subordinating it, and the JCS, to the President.
- Making peace with Russia and negotiate a “grand bargain” which would clearly spell out how the USA and Russia would act towards each other and jointly against common threats. At the very least, this would imply an agreement on the Ukraine and Syria.
- Work with Russia to create a new European security system which would keep NATO as a political organization, but which would “dilute it” into a new security framework ranging from Portugal to the Ural mountains and which would include a 21st century version of the Conventional Forces Europe treaty.
- Stop pouring billions of dollars into the Empire and redirect the immense resources currently wasted on war, aggression and subversion back into the United States and their decaying infrastructure, medical care, education, small business, etc. Until now, the main profitable sectors of the US economy were either the military-industrial complex or finance. The hope was that Trump would kick-start the “real” economy: the production of goods and services.
- End what I would call the “dictatorship of the minorities” and replace it with a restoration of the sovereignty of the majority of the American people over their country. The “Rachel Maddows” who used to be the “ideological masters” of the AngloZionist regime would be gently ushered towards the doors and replaced by people most Americans could identify with.
- Law and order would be restored to the USA and the uncontrolled flow of immigrants would finally be regulated at least to some degree.
- Last, but most definitely not least, Trump would not act on this stupid, counter-productive and self-defeating Iran-bashing and China-bashing rhetoric. Remember – what I am listing here is not a realistic evaluation of what Trump might do once in power, but what I deliberately called the “Trump dream” with emphasis on the second word. Sure, there might be those who wanted Trump to deliver on his threats and possibly even start a war with Iran or China, but I have not met them. (Then again, these are not people I like to be around). Again, this is my, subjective and personal outline of what I think many (most?) Trump supporters were dreaming about, nothing more.
Following the past week, I would say that, for the most part, this dream is now over, especially points 1,2,3 and 5, points 6 and 7 are on life support and only 4 is having of chills and a runny nose but might still live.
They key, of course, is point 1: draining the swamp. In other words, wrestling the power away from the Neocons and the US ‘deep state’ and putting it back where it belongs: in the hands of a President with a mandate of a majority of the American people. That is, alas, the biggest loss we all suffered last week: the man who was supposed to drain the swamp got a humiliating smack-down by a deep state drunk on its own infinite chutzpah. The biggest deal is not that Flynn was sacked, although that is a big deal, but the fact that the deep state forced Trump into publicly betraying Flynn and sacking him instead of those who were involved in this palace coup (including Pence himself).
What the deep state demonstrated this week is that everybody in the Executive Branch serves not at the pleasure of the President, but at the pleasure of the deep state, including probably Donald Trump himself.
By terminating Trump’s #2 the Neocons have now shown the world that everybody else (#3, #4, etc.) and possibly #1 are all here only to the extend that they, the Neocons, let them. I am personally convinced that unless Donald Trump finds in himself the courage to mount a major counter-attack, the Neocons will find a way of kicking him out out the White House before his term ends. That is typically their style: sending “messages” and “making an example”.
If Trump “behaves” they might, possibly, let him do a little of points #6 (law and order) and #4 (redirecting some money to the US homeland). As for point #7 (Iran and China bashing), that is the only part of his program which they will enthusiastically support (thereby also ending the dream of him not acting on that crazy nonsense).
So yeah, this is bad, and barring a miracle, the dream is really over.
However, let’s put that right back in perspective.
The Trump reality
If the *dream* is over, that is hardly a reason to become despondent or to claim that supporting Trump was a mistake. Please always keep in mind what the alternative was: Hillary Clinton.
One of my favorite Russian commentators, Ruslan Ostashko, brilliantly put it when he said:
Not a single rational person was expecting Trump to display true friendship or love for Russia or an immediate recognition of Crimea (as part of Russia). Our joy at the election of Trump was linked to a single factor: with Clinton we would had no chances, none at all, to agree on anything. If Clinton was now sitting in the White House we would not be discussing the issue of the recognition of Crimea or the future of US sanctions. We would be trying to guess when the nuclear war would start, we would be studying our bomb shelter maps, how to use a Geiger counter, and how to count the correct dosage for iodine tablets.
He is absolutely right, of course. This is also exactly what I wrote on November 9th following the election:
So it has happened: Hillary did not win! I say that instead of saying that “Trump won” because I consider the former even more important than the latter. Why? Because I have no idea whatsoever what Trump will do next. I do, however, have an excellent idea of what Hillary would have done: war with Russia. Trump most likely won’t do that.
I never was a “Trump dreamer”. I was merely a Trump *hoper* meaning that I had hopes that Trump would not only be better than Hillary, but that he might deliver on, at least, some of his “dream” message.
But if the choice is the Neocons humiliating Trump or thermonuclear war – then I pick the former, with gratitude.
Furthermore, however unpleasant this thought might be to many Americans, it is an undeniable fact that the United States are currently the host upon which the AngloZionist parasite feeds and which this parasite uses to try to subjugate the entire planet.
What is happening now is that the Neocons and the deep state have succeeded in re-taking control of their host, but only at the cost of a major weakening of that host. And that is objectively good for our planet. Just as the coup in Turkey ended up gutting the military and security services and dramatically curtailing their ability to influence the events in Syria (this is, in part, why Erdogan is now playing ball with the Russians and the Iranians), the ongoing color revolution against Trump is gutting the power of the American host and, thus, of the AngloZionist parasite. For one thing, the entire political establishment is so deeply involved in the struggle for power inside the USA, that very little bureaucratic energy is left to deal with anything else. Furthermore, in political terms, the “indispensable nation” and “city upon the hill” are now the laughingstock of the planet. The next time around some State Department propagandist starts regurgitating the usual chunk of propaganda prolefeed about democracy, human right and fair elections he will be greeted with a hysterical laughter and screams of “physician, heal thyself!!”. And, frankly, God only knows where this process might lead us next. I, for one, would absolutely not exclude the possibility of civil war in the USA. And before that statement gets greeted with jeers and the usual set of ad hominems, let me remind you that I predicted the civil war in the Ukraine when almost everybody else was in total denial (see: The gates of Hell are opening for the Ukraine, written on Nov 20th, 2013). At this point in time, I am not predicting a civil war in the USA, but I am saying that it has become a real possibility.
Civil war or not, all the Neocons and the deep state are doing is accelerating the inevitable collapse of the USA as a world hegemon. True, Trump could not have prevented it, but he could have negotiated it, using the still immense power of the USA to get the best possible deal from the other big actors. If a person falls off a skyscraper, there is no way of preventing him of hitting the ground – but whether he has a parachute or not will make a huge difference to him on how he will land. That is what Trump could have done – making a “descent on the breaks” as the Russians expression goes. The skills to make that happen are straightforward: realism, willingness to negotiate, ability to understand the other guy, the courage to give up that which is not sustainable, etc. That is the exact skillset that the Neocons totally lack. What they can do is double-down, then double-down again, and then double-down some more. And that kind of maniacal attitude always leads to catastrophe.
Whatever may be the case, the big story for the foreseeable future will be the infighting inside the US deep state. Why infighting? Because Trump is also part of the deep state, he did not just suddenly pop out of nowhere ex nihilo, he had, and still has, powerful backers. That’s the, comparatively speaking, the good news. The bad news is that the faction of the deep state which is backing Trump appears to be the weaker one. And Trump himself is not exactly a knight in shining armor, to put it mildly. Still, if we imagine that by some aggregate measure of power the anti-Trump forces inside the deep state are, oh, 70% and the Trump supporters are therefore 30%, the infighting between the 70% and the 30% will leave very little energy to either party to deal with Russia, China or Iran.
It is a sweet irony that the big proponents of divide et impera did just that to themselves, is it not?
Conclusion
It is way too early to become despondent. Yes, the “Trump dream” is probably over, it was beautiful as long as it lasted, but now the “Trump reality” is taking center stage and we all need to learn how to operate in this new context. We need to carefully and systematically study this new reality and carefully parse it for all the risk and opportunities it presents us with. And there are a lot of great opportunities, along with very real risks, to be discovered. Just the fact that the leaders of the Empire have turned against each other is a God sent blessing! Let’s use that to the max.
Coincidence or not, but the Duran is reporting that the Chairman of the JCS, General Joe Dunford, and General Valery Gerasimov, the Chief of the Russian military’s General Staff have met in Baku. This is the first such meeting since January 2014 and it took place in a “cordial atmosphere”. In fact, Dunford reassured Gerasimov that there are in fact no plans to deploy US ground troops to Syria (there are, of course, already several thousand US troops on the ground in Syria, both sides know that, but both sides also know what Dunford is referring to: regular armed forces).
Can you imagine such a meeting under Hillary?
What happened is really simple. With the election of Trump, the Neocons suffered a crushing defeat and it took them less than a month to regroup and castrate Trump. This is bad and the “Trump dream” is over. But we – the resistance to Empire, as still in very good shape. After all, Trump was never *our* candidate, he was the candidate of the part of the deep state which we, opponents of the US deep state in toto, supported as a lesser evil: and we were right – he was and he still is the lesser evil. Furthermore, the party which really lost the most is the Trump-supporting part of the deep state, and they now enough power left (10, 30 or 45 percent – that does not really matter) to regroup and fight back. And if/when they do fight back, we still have to give them our support simply because that is the moral and pragmatic thing to do. Right now, Trump looks like Yanukovich, true. But I think that he is also a far smarter and much more honorable person than Yanukovich. Call me naïve, but my gut feeling is that Trump cares for the USA and that he wants to do the right thing. I might be wrong, of course. But at least so far I do not see the clear signs of the total rot and corruption which Yanukovich has all over his face. Furthermore, Trump appears to be learning. That is very important. In his latest press conference Trump finally finally showed some real guts and counter-attacked the media, very effectively I would say. And remember how fast Trump learned from his first defeat in the debate against Hillary? Trump might be a fast learner and if that is really the case, then he might learn some most useful lessons from the entire Flynn debacle.
Hopes still permitted :-)
So hopes are still permitted. Not expectations – those are always bad. But reasonable, reality-compatible hopes. Like all humans, politicians change. If the Neocons don’t succeed in impeaching him, Trump might still end up kicking some ass, so to speak. And if they do impeach him, they will further weaken the Empire. So, all in all, I would say that while we had a very bad week we are still on good shape.
The Saker
Obama changed the law just before he left office to make leaks possible and to make catching the leaker impossible, just before he left office:
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-02-18/jay-sekulow-obama-should-be-held-accountable-soft-coup-attempt-against-trump
Yes – Trump needs to repeal this order.
He has now chosen his new NSA – “President Trump taps General H.R. McMaster as national security adviser….has the nickname, “The Iconoclast General.”
https://www.rt.com/usa/378022-trump-security-adviser-mcmaster/
Kellog is also being kept on as chief of staff.
“Iconoclast General”? At what point in his career did McMaster refuse to be part of the biggest, dumbest, most expensive military/geopolitical misadventure the US ever undertook… the invasion of Iraq. OK, he criticized the US’s genocidal idiocy in Vietnam (though I doubt he used those words), but otherwise he is the 3rd more-of-same general Trumpy has tried to drop in that chair. Any indication that McMaster has had a conversion on the road to Damascus? Doubtful.
It is interesting that McMaster is credited with winning what some say was the biggest tank battle since WW2, when in reality, Saddam had his military in Soviet-era and Chinese army surplus antiques against state-of-the-art Abrams tanks. So more like the biggest shooting-fish-in-a-barrel tank battle. And how did the US’s vaunted full-spectrum battle-field surveillance systems allow McMaster’s tank regiment to be “surprised” at finding dozens of Iraq tanks after cresting a ridge? And how many of those antiques were actually functional? Apparently many had to be towed into place. The US military isn’t talking. The aerial/satellite photos splattered on the MSM at the time showed how poorly camouflaged Saddam’s tanks/trenches/emplacements were… and then US tanks fitted with plows literally buried thousands of Iraqi soldiers in those trenches alive. Ya, BIG Gulf war heroes… tell the world again that “they hate us for our freedoms”…
And in the end, the US actually “won” in Iraq? (the Mission Accomplished” banner notwithstanding)… OH WAIT… still haven’t won or fully withdrawn from Iraq. It’s been a few years, where’s McMaster’s book critiquing the Iraq-debacle? Don’t hold your breath.
Now Iran is in the US crosshairs… but Russia and China will not brook the US trying for a replay of Operation Iraq Liberation (OIL) on the other side of the Persian Gulf. Iraq was too big a nut for the US to crack, and they want to take on Iran… give your heads a shake! Iran is bigger (and stronger) than Iraq and Syria put together and Trumpy is putting Iran “on notice”? Maybe Trump should tell the Nutty-yahoo Zionists and Wacked-habbi Saudi Royals to fight their own wars, and not on the US taxpayer’s dime… gee, they could go right to the source and ask the Rothchilds and Soros directly. For references using Lebanon and Yemen should instill all manner of confidence…
The Clintonite/Bushite GWOT is dead, R2P tap dancing no longer playing at the UN or even the EU. The faster Trump as Commander-in-Chief stops bombing/regime-changing foreign countries and giving money/arms/media-cover to Israel and Saudi Arabia, plus pulls US troops (there are at least 100,000) and closes bases (about 1,000 in total) in foreign countries, the quicker the US will reduce the “terrorist threat”. And the refugees will stop flooding the EU… how stupid are US/EU citizens not to see this simple math?
Generals, spooks, media-clowns and MIC/Goldmanite Wall Streeters packing his cabinet? Those who voted for Trump in the hopes of swamp-draining averting a Clinton-WW3 scenario are increasingly likely to be disappointed. The US may start WW3, but Putin and Xi will end it with the US mainland in ruins. The war may start in Eurasia but it will end with Russian and Chinese troops in Washington and London. If the US is smart and doesn’t use nukes.
I hate to start the comments off on such a note but you need a good editor – it’s a shame to have your utterly brilliant commentary degraded with simple error’s.
Sorry to nit-pick but there are at least five in this article.
like error’s vs errors? :-)
sorry for nit-picking :P
yeah, I agree.
Those who criticize me for having typos and spelling errors simply don’t understand my kind of time constraints I work under or the fact that English is my 4th language out of 6. But I know that most of them are writing with good will, so I try to be nice about it. But yeah, this is rather tedious. I feel like putting a big banner over the blog saying “CAREFUL – you are now entering a bad spelling zone” :-)
Cheers, hugs and good nite,
The Saker
Thing is, writing/composing and editing are two different modes of thinking, so you at least have to go through a piece twice, even you are good at editing (either all at a time or switching modes as you write — and I just caught two obvious errors in what I just wrote).
This has gotten more difficult for me as I get older, both the typos and spelling, and also grammar and syntax, using the correct words and spellings, and not leaving words out. I also forget how to spell words I used to know, forget the word I am trying to use, and other such problems as the old little gray cells get older, complain more form sleep deprivation (you don’t get enough sleep, do you?), and the circulation and metabolism gets sluggish.
There’s also a difference between writing posts, articles, and books — different levels of editing and revision — like between a sketch, a drawing, and a finished painting, or composing a melody and a symphony.
Don’t know about your distractions, Saker, but I also find writing more challenging when a hungry or scritch-deprived cat jumps on my lap, walks across the keyboard, or gets between my eyes and screen.
But we always understand what you are saying, so don’t worry about it.
@ Anonymous: While I agree JC’s reference to Alzheimer’s may be “unproven” at this point, there is certainly no lack of information on the benefits of coconut oil on many aspects of human metabolism/neurology, including brain function. Corporate-financed “science” goes out of its way to avoid extensive research on the benefits of nutrition supplements to fill in where the corporate food industry fails us. There is no big pharma profits to be made from coconut oil or similar nutrition products.
The best, least expensive way to improve the health of billions world wide is to get the chemicals out of our food system. But Monsanto and Dupont would be broke in months if that was legislated. There is a striking correlation between the increase of “western” illnesses like diabetes, cardio-vascular and neurological disorders as big agribusiness/food systems are forced into “developing” economies.
In the end, don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. Coconut oil (especially organic) is a good, safe introduction to reclaiming health through nutrition. Your reaction shows a very establishment-centric mindset… so why are you here at Saker if not to learn?
Sorry, I forgot to fill out the Name/Email spaces… “nice try” here…
Well said! I can relate. Age and fatigue are factors with me, though I can’t speak for The Saker.
In my experience, especially when you are writing from emotion, it does not matter how many times you check it you will miss the mistakes because you are in another mode of thinking, and it is a creative one. To your mind in that moment it really does not matter if i comes before or after e, because you still read it holistically. Unless you leave it for 24 hours or have the benefit of an editor, you, the writer, will miss the mistakes no matter how obvious they are. To the nit pickers, go write your own Opus! Real people do not care, it is the message that they are most concerned about.
Saker,
I’m long aware English is your 4th of 6 languages and in awe of that fact alone. This article has less typos than usual and is one of your best ever IMO. It does give me some hope.
But if you have a moderator who was good at English at school, then maybe consider a quick proof read. Just a second pair of eyes is helpful.
That’s OK, Saker! Shakespeare, arguably the greatest writer in the English language, wasn’t particularly picky about his spelling. If language can’t be flexible where it doesn’t really matter (as long as ideas are communicated effectively) then Cat will mew, and pedants will have their day.
To be fair, I don’t think in Shakespeare’s time they even had spelling, and hardly even had English words: he had to invent a bunch — over 1700 of them them. That’s why he wrote plays instead of novels — it had to be acted out so people would understand what it was about.
He wrote sonnets, with rhyming words, so people could get an idea how to pronounce the things. And he had to keep going over and over them until people learned and remembered them, because he had such high regard for people and their advancing their literacy.

Why is my verse so barren of new pride?
So far from variation or quick change?
Why with the time do I not glance aside
To new-found methods, and to compounds strange?
Why write I still all one, ever the same,
And keep invention in a noted weed,
That every word doth almost tell my name,
Showing their birth, and where they did proceed?
O know sweet love I always write of you,
And you and love are still my argument:
So all my best is dressing old words new,
Spending again what is already spent:
For as the sun is daily new and old,
So is my love still telling what is told.
Even then, in the primitive stages of propaganda, he understood that a message must be told over and over for it to sink in.
editing for semantic precision ad [sic) to eliminate significant ambiguities Is an example of necessary editorial remarks. Pointing out my sloppy use of capitisation, for example, is silly, as are more spekking errors. ;)
I can manage a little German, some French, and moost of English…kudos to Saker!
Thank you Saker for all your time and effort that you devote to the Vineyard. We accept you as you are – including the typo’s and misspellings. I (We?) consider it to be “Part of your charm” so to speak, and always remember- “Don’t sweat the small stuff”- (Quote by Richard Carlson).
Sincerely, Always Puzzled
I’m generally hijacking this on purpose, not aimed at any poster in particular.
Did all the critics below miss Saker’s post looking for an admin assistant? There is only so much time/energy one person can (should?) spend on a blog. Wasting his, your and readers’ time on spelling is not helpful. Yes, point out grammatical issues which reduce the clarity, but only to help Saker not waste his time defending the fact he has not got enough time to compose in perfect English.
So do we have a half dozen admin/editing-assistant volunteers? Or are you just going to snipe?
Two things.
One
Pence as his VP. I do believe Trump was forced. They had themselves covered with Kaine as Clinton’s VP , so it did not matter to them who won. Why is this important and who are “they?” Another man, Biden, Obama’s VP. All three have one thing in common. And keep in mind Biden’s role in the coup in Ukraine. Also see Engdahl’s excellent article on Biden:
Joe Biden is Washington Troublemaker-in-Chief
http://journal-neo.org/2016/09/27/joe-biden-is-washington-troublemaker-in-chief/
All these men are “the hidden hand.” All these men are Jesuits. If the Pope addressing congress was not an alarm bell, then Americans truly are fast asleep.Their objective? What it has been for 1,000 years. The subjugation of Russia. The destruction of the Orthodox Church. And dedicating Russia to the Virgin Mary, which in effect means that the Vatican owns all the land and land taxes will be raised to fill their coffers.
The Cathar Crusade succeeded in the west 1,000 years ago, but the crusade in the east has failed time after time after time. Napoleon. WW1. WW2. So now they are at it again. They simply cannot think past the false narrative of the Three tiered Crown. Perhaps they should all remember that Jesus turned the Devil down in the wilderness when offered all the kingdom’s of the world. The Pope thinks otherwise. They should also consider the fact that Peter is the only person in the Bible who is ever referred to as Satan.
Two.
Trump made the mistake of accepting support from Sheldon Adleson. If you watched the inauguration you would have seen a brief shot of his arrival through the doors…. unannounced. It was very quickly cut off to another shot. If you had blinked you would have missed it. Also in the footage, Adleson is standing on the left of the screen near the staircase with his back to the camera and wearing sunglasses. He was on Trump team side. Remember in the last election he was the money behind the Mormon Romney. Obama even made a joke about it after he won that Adleson had wasted all his money and that he should rather have given it to Michale to go shopping. Or words to that effect.
Result? Listen to Pence speech to NATO this week. Oh he is so smooooth it is sickening. There are no doubts about what he intends. And it certainly is not reproachment with Russia and his is determined to take Crimea, not for Ukraine as we well know… with all the lies and deceit and freedom and democracy garbage, but to throw the Russian fleet out and replace it with NATO. and cut off Russia’s access to the Med.
Suddenly Trump is talking about Bombing Iran, backs down on a two state solution for Palestine and entertains Bibi. The smug look on that man’s face these days makes my blood boil! Someone should give him a fat slap!
I am mad as hell. Nothing has changed. This was the last chance. It is not only bad for Russia and Palestine, it is bad for America. They can expect another “Cathar Crusade”from the south with the usual mercenaries, same ones used to raped, plunder and pillage Constantinople and the Haggia Sophia and the Langudeoc almost 1,000 years ago. This time it will be drug runners, human traffickers, organ traffickers and child sex traders from the south that will bring the US down to it’s knees and hand it on a plate to their Jesuit/ Zionist overlords, along with Sunni Wahhabi Muslim Brotherhood insurgence.
And the show… must go on. And Caiaphas, Herod and Pilate will order another massacre, this trinity of devils.
@ Katherine
Most of us here agree with your arguments and sentiments and are grateful to you to bring some important issues to our notice. But I’m sure I’m not alone if I say that your rantings against the Jesuits are bit tempestuous and even passe’. What do the Jesuits have to do with the ills and machinations of this world?
I am aware that they were a powerful order and there are some parallels between them and the Templars, the first pan-European multinational corporation and army. They were evicted from Japan and China in the 16th century for proselytising the locals and got in trouble with the Portuguese Crown on several occasions for protecting the indigenous peoples from the colonial rulers and plantation owners from South America to Indonesia. This led to their expulsion from Portugal and all Catholic Europe followed suit, including the Papacy (and that’s how many ended up in Russia and Germany). But that was in mid-1700s and it is doubtful that, like the Templars, they were guilty of anything other than opposing the secular state’s overreach.
I don’t thing they operate like a secret society or have any influence in world affairs. Anyway, let’s ask one former insider. Dennis, will you please tell us whether your former mates are that evil as to set Satan on the world?
There are no paralles between them and the Templars. The same way there are none between the Illuminati and the Freemasons.
I suggest you do research on the Inquisition that has still not been disbanded. The Jesuit Oath. Nothing has changed. Georgetown University where Jesuits have been trained to infiltrate all religious and spiritual groups as well as financial and political. Francis is a Jesuit. Millions left Europe for the New World to escape Roman Catholic persecution.Being tortured and burnt alive does not make many fans. And if you think that they have changed their game plan then you are deluded.
Behind the Vatican is the Black Nobility of Europe and the P2 Lodge. The CIA and covert operations. People think this is all past history and we have moved on since the Middle Ages and a feudal system. But they are deluded. Corporate Fascism is the same thing, disguised as capitalism which it is not. And the CEOs and shareholders of the major corporations and the Banks are Black Nobility and the Vatican itself. The fiat money system.
But nobody wants to see the matrix. And they certainly do not want to challenge it. Not when society security has put them into a comfort zone of entitlement while the Banks fleece them and their taxes never go for their own benefit but into a Black hole that lines others peoples pockets.
You are merely viewed as collateral. And your vote counts for nothing. It is rigged and you are presented with personalities to choose from who are their own illegitimate children so that they can hide, once removed but still control the system.
@ Katherine,
Thank you for your comments here. Personally, I find your comments in regards to Jesuits very interesting. I think this is one of the most overlooked subjects out there. I’m specifically interested in their interactions with the Zionists or, as some claim, their role in the creation of Zionism.
Easy. It goes back 2,000 years. The Babylonian Temple and the usury money lenders who Jesus whipped. They resented this because like the Fed, the IMF and the BIS they were onto a good thing and what is known as “money farming.” Add into the loans with interest and stealing people money, the animals sold for sacrifice at the alter, which gave them a free food source. The Romans were there to keep them in power and in exchange for their cut on the theft, offered their military protection against all dissenters. While the Herodian monarchy, Edomite Arabs married into the Levite priesthood gave the semblance of a legitimate monarchy, which by the was is in contravention of the Covenant, no matter what they tell you about the “King O the Jews.” Read 1 Samuel 8. And Matthew 4: 1-11. There is no difference today. We have the military industrial complex which is an extension of Rome and the Vatican. The Zionist Bankers and the Sunni Saudi Arabian Muslim Brotherhood Wahhabi Islamic terrorists funded and supported by the Saudi Monarchy. While Christians all over the Middle East as well as Eastern Europe in the Donbass, specifically Orthodox Christians not under the heirarchy of the Vatican and the Pope, are being genocided. And people still argue the toss as to who and what is the Anti Christ and when and if Armageddon will happen? Are they all blind, deaf and dumb?
Katherine. How do you know whether they are Jesuits ?…you are always hunting some evil hidden hand. Why not Masons ? Why not Neo Cons ?
Trump was not forced to take Pence….nobody can force Trump.
The Jesuits are an arm of the Catholic church that is VERY difficult to get into – at least the Order is –
The lay brothers of Jesuits maybe, but they are not the movers of the Jesuits…the Jesuits are a brotherhood that have to do all kinds of things to qualify.
Oh and by the way,
The Cathars were wiped out by the Crusaders – not the Jesuits..The Society of Jesus did not even exist until the 16th century .
The Cathars were gone by the 15th.
Some are good – some not so good….
This present pope is a Jesuit, but not necessarily the top guy…Read “In God’s Name’ by David Yallop and you will see that even he doesn’t know who’s who in the pecking order –
I honestly can’t see that this pope is so evil…he seems to be trying to ‘fix’ the image of the Church…

Someone on twitter asked me if Trump is Yeltsin of USA? No. Yeltsin was a traitor, who sold the country and its people for a dime. Trump is a patriot who tries to save what’s left without a war. The US has no defense against Russia and China, no functional military, no functional nukes. The US has no real economy. The US has to pay its debt. The US is forever behind in engineering, in technology and manufacturing. The US relies on Russia to get its satellites to space. Russia can take them down any moment, leaving the US deaf and blind.
It’s not a coincidence that the Red Star military TV channel just has posted two videos of MIG-31 in stratosphere.

Most importantly, MIG-31 is able to shoot down in space satellites and ballistic missiles with R33 missiles

Trump has to tell truth to the country. And he has already started telling the truth that the US needs good relations with Russia, that it’s not an indispensable nation, and that it’s not an exceptional nation, and so on.
It’s a tough job, but Trump can do it.
“… Trump is Yeltsin of USA?” — yes, he’s filling the same system-change niche.
And possible similar personality type etc. For 50% of Americans he’s the Clown-in-Chief.
How he performs in situ (ethically, or otherwise) is a different issue.
Personally, although early days, Trump may survive to 4 (or maybe 8) years. He has a few ‘drain the swamp’ positive policies (depending on who he sends in to replace etc). He also has numerous poor policies — e.g., oil and environment etc. He’s still big money and the USA CEO-Oligarchs at the top of his administration are just as much carving up the empire.
He’s definitely wearing Yeltsin’s suit, imo.
Pence is the ‘Putin’ character to watch. As with USSR/Russia reset — the USA in ‘quick-time’ will likely follow a similar general path. And it maybe that once the Trump wrecking ball has done it’s ‘9/11’ job on the opposition then Pence may become the goto man.
Wise up, Anon. Yeltsin’s only claim to fame was that he, deliberately or inadvertently, opened the door through which Putin sneaked in, played invisible, and slowly, slowly took over. Cutting the weeds, watering the flowers – Russian spring!
Forget Pence, Anon, he is a fool & a tool.
None of these characters have a ‘claim to fame’ (Putin aside, perhaps) — they perform a system function and represent archetypes. All disaggregating empires follow similar paths. It’s not about who the person is per se — it is about perceiving what stage/phase we are in. And I don’t believe Putin ‘sneaked in’ — he was placed there and his qualities have proved the test of time. You appear blindsided by the deliberate focus on distracting identity cult now crashing to earth from its self assessed ‘exceptional’ paradise of free money printing.
Senator Graham (McInsane’s BFF) promised to ‘kick some Russian butt’ at the recent Munich security conference.
These idiots should be laughed out of the building. Yet they are taken seriously.
The diplomatic Lavrov tells Pence that the US dream of world domination is over
Good things and good people can “sneak in”. Not all that sneaks in, is bad.
“For you know quite well that the day of the Lord’s return will come unexpectedly, like a thief in the night.”
—1 Thessalonians 5:2
Putin was placed in power by Yeltsin and the oligarchs. However, he wasn’t going to be controlled by the oligarchs. He cut a deal with them that let them keep their money but they had to stay out of politics. This included divesting ownership in the TV stations. You can see that he took some power back from them once he was strong enough and had enough political support.
@Scott,
I used to think that Trump was a little bit like Gollum, who enacted his fate by swallowing the ring of power and falling into the fires of hell together with it.
However, I believe we know almost nothing about the true struggle that is taking place behind closed doors of DC (mordor). Most of the media (including fake independent outlets) our so Trump-o-phobic, it absolutely cannot be taken seriously. And this is precisely why I have hope. These type of reactions are indicative of deep fear and hopelessness in the the camp of globalists, Talmudic maniacs. They’re finished! These are creams of agony. The question here -is how many people going to be dragged with them into these proverbial fires. I believe Trump doesn’t want to be one of them.
No Scott.
Trump is Tsar Nick who will lead the USA into war with Iran and like almost exactly 100 years ago achieve an identical result. And the Necons will laugh, they’ve done it again.
Beware the red coifed useful idiot who dances to an Anglo-Bolshevik tune. The parallels are absolutely striking, if you think of it for only a moment.
I honestly wonder if Trump and the last Russian Tsar are somehow related.

Saker, your hopes part was High Hopes.
Most of his voting Movement expected less. They had niches of expectation. Several key policies: Border Wall, Repeal and Replace Obamacare, Supreme Court pick of strict constructionist to replace the dead Scalia, and attack the MSM.
They trusted he would fix the economy, make trade deals and bring jobs back and rebuild the infrastructure. Those are his sweet spot skills.
And then there was Russia. This is where we fantasized. Most of his Movement wanted him to sit and talk right away with Putin and work out a plan to wipe out ISIS.
Everyone supported that. A real rapprochement had taken hold and friendship with Russians was very possible. Especially, once people learned that Russia had turned to Christianity again. That was good stuff and Americans felt Russia was safe to deal with. Sounds small, but it really was a big part of the connection. Syria war success helped the image of Russia. Christians had been abandoned by Obama, but Putin went to their rescue.
Losing Flynn was huge.
Now, people are turning against Pence. He looks to be pure neocon. Today he made it official with Poroshenko, offering his full support to Kiev.
So, with no NSC under his control, with CIA in the hands of a Pence guy, Pompeo, and Tillerson still talking like a Bush State Dept. yokel, the foreign policy end of things looks very distant for Trump to manage.
Realistically, he has to get done the plan Flynn was putting into shape . If he does not reform the Intel agencies, gelds the CIA and redirects Tillerson, he will never have control over the war machine, the regime change people and the illicit activities of the Deep State.
Now, everything of reform will come from the DOJ, AG Jeff Sessions. He will have to root out the leakers that took down Flynn and wage the anti-corruption campaign. There will be no other angle of attack on the Swamp.
We won’t know if there ever will be an attempt to meet and talk with Putin before July at the G20.
And that won’t accomplish much.
Stay tuned. The first thing is the War Plan for Victory over ISIS. March 1. We won’t know what it is but we will see what the Pentagon and Mattis cook up as it happens.
Trump is riding a Tiger and he doesn’t even have the beast by the tail.
But he has one skill set that can save him. He knows how to fire people.
I’d start with Pompeo if he doesn’t stop playing war games, drug trafficking and trying to enforce Khazarian dreams and Zionist plots.
If we don’t see a calm NSC advisor like Gen. Kellogg would be, then Trump will never get any of his Doctrine accomplished. He has to have control of IC and all power inside the Oval Office.
Right now, he doesn’t have 10% control of anything going on overseas.
It will take another 30-40 days to measure if he can save what has been stolen.
Meanwhile, he has a red pencil and the budgets of all the troublesome departments. He can try cutting until he has them begging.
His management style is to cull poor performers. So far, nothing is moving that way.
They have him like a train with no track to run on.
If the thinking of Saker is correct, this is okay. Sort of not too bad an outcome.
I’m more of the thinking that vacuums are abhorred by nature and by the Deep State. They fill in fast with more evil. They can plot Trump’s early finish with planned disasters. Certainly, they will frustrate any move to establish detente with Russia. I don’t see him making that happen now.
Will he give up on it? No. But it is with virtually no support except within his Movement. Even Bannon and Jared are not for it.
But Melania would be for it. And if he asks her, she’ll tell him to go for it. And then he will fight like a lion to accomplish it.
“Losing Flynn was huge.” — Flynn resigned from that role/position.
That does not necessarily mean he is lost to the programme.
Trump hinted he had someone as good or better in mind (for the job going forward).
Decoy flare, imo.
And secondly, Trump is likely signalling he is also capable of resigning himself if it suits the larger agenda. Exit stage left at a time of his choosing would be very in-character as the ultimate ego statement. Bust his way in (on DC); stomp around; and then strut off …
Trump’s main problem is his trade mark name and business empire. Loss of business value must color certain decisions — e.g., no Saudi regime squeeze on terrorist/migrant bans. Only the future Russian market can justify the risk. A Trump hotel in Crimea as 1st step? It is not beyond consideration if he gets his way — insane McCain is the problem. (and likely Biden & Co.)
I still wonder if Flynn was blackmailed and given a door out via the open phone call. He knew he was being listened to.
Another thing is that – what he said to Pence was not actually a lie – he just said that they had not talked about sanctions. Why is that a lie, when they actually didn’t talk about sanctions…or perhaps he was saying to the Russian ambassador that Russia should just be patient – with the sanctions thing – until a new admin was in.
Anyway, he’s an old IC rat from around the block…who knows where he’ll end up now…writing another dreadful book about Iran or so ?
Who cares…nicht mich
@ Larch
“… and friendship with Russians was very possible. Especially, once people learned that Russia had turned to Christianity again. That was good stuff and Americans felt Russia was safe to deal with”
What a load of puerile twaddle! So the good ol’ Americans felt safe when Russia “turned Christian again”, supposedly when Yeltsin brought Russia to its knees and to the US fold of nations to be plundered. Of course they felt safe – their government and the oligarchy could roam the world and proclaim it was now under the New Order. And could also unleash terror everywhere with impunity because the big bad bear had been domesticated … and also converted to Christianity to boot.
For the information of those who know next to nothing about Russia, there was more Christianity in Russia during the Soviet period than in the pious USA that preaches Christianity while practising Satanic barbarism.
“Trump is riding a Tiger and he doesn’t even have the beast by the tail.”
Well said. But Trump has the heart and this certain something. Animals respond to that, instinctively.
Very well put, Saker.
I’ve never forgotten an old saw comparing Austria and Germany from over a century ago:
For a German a situation is serious but not hopeless, for an Austrian the same situation is hopeless but not serious.
Our situation is serious but far from hopeless.
With the defeat of Hillary Diane Rodham in her massively supported and almost obscene drive to possess the Oval Office we do indeed have a breather and we do indeed have hope for the future. I mentioned more than once that if Rodham had won the election, and she very very nearly did, then my wife and I would have been able to do nothing but sit on our balcony about this time, late February, and have our final evening wine and whine session as we watched the cruise missiles swarm the defenses of Sevastopol Harbor. Make no mistake, that would have happened just as surely as I’m sitting here typing. And life as you reading my scribblings know it would have ended 15 minutes later.
At this time we need to continue the struggle. Our enemy is horrific and implacable, the enemy will not stop, ever. Never forget that. They will not stop. Ever.
In the days after the election someone asked me what the locals thought of the victory of Mr. Trump. I told him that their thoughts were the same as mine, cautious optimism, nothing more. We now fully understand that for the time being with Mr. Trump concentrating on domestic issues nothing will change, the sanctions will continue as will the war in Novorossiya and Syria. So be it, we’ve survived 3 years of sanctions and wars already and three more won’t kill us.
Just as we in this locale will not stop the struggle, you to our west must also never stop, never give up the struggle against those who will literally enslave you given the smallest of chances. I don’t think Mr. Trump will allow the international situation to get out of hand, it’s not good for business and business is what will drive the slow but inexorable improvement of the US economy and culture. There will be defeats just as there will be victories but in the end I have no doubts the citizens will prevail and pull the descending curtain of darkness aside to show a better, a brighter future for both USA and Russia.
Auslander
Many American voters expected the same thing, and the natural counter-stroke. This may possibly have influenced their votes.
“But we – the resistance to Empire, as still in very good shape.”
Keep thinking on and developing this, because the ‘Trump dream’ was not Trumps, but the manifestation of deep and broad cultural currents in the US and the world, of which Trump’s election is an early thrust. The most significant thing is that he was elected, despite all the forces opposed, which could not have happened without the anti-neolibcon cultural surge. Expects it continue in fits and starts, unevenly and with hesitation, but it will not go away because the results of the corporate deep state are killing us and destroying the country and world — and the parasite can not survive without a healthy host.
Trump is not the cause of these events and movement, but one result.
“…the United States are currently the host upon which the AngloZionist parasite feeds and which this parasite uses to try to subjugate the entire planet.”
That is the appearance, the underlying reality is that the whore rides the beast, who will in good time will turn on her and destroy her.
“Stop pouring billions of dollars into the Empire and redirect the immense resources currently wasted on war, aggression and subversion back into the United States and their decaying infrastructure, medical care, education, small business, etc. Until now, the main profitable sectors of the US economy were either the military-industrial complex or finance. The hope was that Trump would kick-start the “real” economy: the production of goods and services.”
If he does, he will do it by privatization, namely by creating a total toll booth economy that favors the kleptocracy and keeps up the trend to concentrate all wealth. It will effectively make the US a proletarian state, which it is close to becoming anyway: a mass of the impotent surrounded by miliarized police and ruled by an entrenched oligarchy. Remember: “power comes from the barrel of a gun,” and the guns the people own are not comparable to those of the police, any more than bows and arrows could face gattling guns.
“The skills to make that happen are straightforward: realism, willingness to negotiate, ability to understand the other guy, the courage to give up that which is not sustainable, etc. That is the exact skillset that the Neocons totally lack.”
These are the skills that a criminal attacking you with intent to kill do not need to have and wouldn’t use even if they did have them.
“It is way too early to become despondent. Yes, the “Trump dream” is probably over, it was beautiful as long as it lasted.”
Why not some detachment instead of swinging between sentimentalist alternatives of optimism and pessimism? There was nothing “beautiful” about the vacuous planet and humanity destroying “the business of America is business” Trump dream; it is not better than the Chinese “to be rich is glorious.” He is a hustler and the US has ever been a predatory nation of hustlers above all else: “Leave Iraq but take the oil, etc., etc., ad nauseum.” Moreover, from the first the who dream was rotten, since Trump is all but an “Israel first” kowtower to Israel. Thus he could never be a force for peace, if one understands what Zionism really wants and it stands for.
This is the reality
You nailed it Frank. The US is impervious to change or reason. Its institutions of power (political, financial, economic, judiciary, cultural, mass media etc) have been taken over by Zionists. The presidents come and go but the institutional power remains in the same hands. The US is only a tool the international Zionist cabal uses for global domination. Of course there are many “Americans” feeding from the same trough but the project for a New American Century, New World Order and full-spectrum domination was crafted by the Zionist neocons. I could be wrong here, that is, Zionism could be a convenient cover for a true American project as the exceptional one, but that is almost immaterial because the end result is the same: global oppression.
Whoever controls the money supply, controls the World. Governments are only Illusions.
Rothschild
This is the main factor over the World, and soon over the China too … and then UNIPOLAR WORLD or N.W.O.
Saker,
You go up and down in emotions a fair bit. It is too early to say what will happen with the big issue, which is the economy and jobs. And, to most Americans, the swamp is not the State Department, but the corporate-governmental-lobbyist complex. That is why things like health care and medical insurance are so screwed up.
Foreign policy is likely to be from the point of business and the major effort will be smashing ISIS. What will happen with the Kurds is a big question.
And the wildcard is that pedophilia may the thing that breaks a lot of the resistance to Trump. There is a lot of talk about this all over the place, and there have been a large number of arrests in the last few weeks, and Sessions just got in.
What has happened Saker
Can we deal with reality not fantasy ?
It is incredibly frustrating seeing what is actually going on and then to read the denial coming from this sight
– the Munich security confer has just taken place with Pence and Mattis restating the neo con policies
They will support Ukraine – poroshenko will see this as a green light for escalation
– they will support the Baltic s against a non existent Russian threat which meets troop escalation
– Trump at the rally in Florida was promoting the idea of safe zones the idiot will need troops to make this happen
I pray that Russia is not hoping but is acting on the very real threats to them. Lavrov needs to go and they need a more robust FM not one who believes in Russia being part of the west
Russia, including Lavrov, is completely aware of the reality.
http://www.fort-russ.com/2017/02/russia-has-never-looked-at-trump.html
Russia has never looked at Trump through rose-colored glasses – Kremlin
February 17, 2017 – Fort Russ News –
RusVesna – translated by J. Arnoldski –
According to Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov, Russia has nothing to be disappointed about in the new American administration of Donald Trump, because Russia never looked at it through rose-colored glasses.
[…]
Before the election while being accused of trying to get Trump in, Putin said they will deal with anyone elected and that it’s only actions after which will define what the policies are.
Lavrov, as well as Zacharova and of course Putin are the perfect team. Even if they use a peaceful and diplomatic rhetoric towards the West, they are very well aware of what’s going on. None of them should be replaced.
Trump with his business experience has a good understanding of the negative effect of globalization for the common American people which are almost ruined. He has also noticed that the US infrastructure is beyond repair and that the education system has to be fixed. On those subject, Trump could be a very good president.
Trump seems to be a good businessman but he has a poor understanding of the world and its history. On that subject, he is under control of the zionists (jews and christians) without understanding their objectives.
Half of those zionists are waiting the Messiah to rule with the Jews the whole world until its end(1000 years) and the other are waiting the return of Christ to make the last judgment and at last open the gates of the Paradise and the Hell.
The first ones want limited wars to get rid of all opponents to the coming of the Messiah and the others want an apocalyptic war to call the last judgment.
Humanity’s future is at risk!
Steve Piecznick and Robert David Steele hint at a different way of looking at the Flynn resignation. Here are interviews with Alex Jones which are of interest if one can stand listening to Jones interrupt all the time. Robert Steele has other stuff at his web site.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPYUWx0XyzU
I don’t know if these guys really know what is going on or not but they provide a different way of looking at things.
Basically they indicate that Flynn was not a team player and thus the CIA may have given Trump the reason to let him go. There is also perhaps a hint that it might have been planned to let him go and that he might have served as bait to find out who needs to be cleaned out. And right after all this some cleaning out has taken place
Here is some commentary on the 7th floor cleansing
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2017/02/17/secretary-rex-tillerson-begins-deconstructing-7th-floor-shadow-government-at-dept-of-state/
Thank you for the link. This does make sense. Especially the way Flynn was putting Iran on notice and interrupting Spicer during the press conference… I posted a similar comment too.
Cheer up – there is more to Trump than meets the eye.
Trump succeeded by doing God’s work vowing to end the child trafficing epidemic. This solves your practical political problems because the pedo scandal involves 1/3 (one third) of the dem and rep pol establishment and is nurtured by evil factions of Mossad and CIA for leverage. DHS and FBI insiders are coming out.

Christoph,
You sir, are spot on.
People are entirely too quick here to write off a setback as a loss. Flynn was not/is not 100% critical for success. Besides, the Deep State has now exposed themselves in taking him out.

This is a battle which is just starting and going to get real ugly. You will know when it hits critical mass when MSM news starts coming out about investigation into the Clinton Foundation.
Clinton Foundation is the lynch pin which can bring the whole thing down. Clinton Foundation has ties to Human Trafficking. Pizzagate citizen’s investigation is exposing this.
Human Trafficking Bills currently in Congress:
https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/subjects/human_trafficking/6210
Destroying the Clinton Foundation will expose many of the lies being used to accomplish their Deep State agenda and why the Neocons on the right have no interest in going after CF.
Exposes State Department/CIA meddling in Ukraine
Destroys narrative about Crimea annexation
Exposes Syria State Dept/White House/Intelligence community planned destruction of Syria for Qatar/SA gas pipeline
Destroys narrative on going into Syria as U.S. is literally the enemy of the Syrian People.
Americans need to know the fate of the U.S. does not rest solely on Trump’s shoulders. We must get off our butts, get involved and support the fight.
Perhaps a quote from the great British WW2 general William Slim is appropriate
“In battle nothing is ever as good or as bad as the first reports of excited men would have it.”
Sargon of Akkad points to the mainstream media’s bizarre obsession with Piewdiepie as a symptom of their terminal decline. They’ve lost it with Piewdiepie, so it’s likely they will lose to Trump too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1ulkykn7jc
Trump spoke of creating “safe zones” in Syria (with regular US troops), payed but the Gulf States, where people can live safe and in peace.
Good idea.
Let’s extend it also to Ukraine: “safe zones” in Ukraine guarded by the Russian Army and payed by the EU and the US, where local people can live safe and in peace.
Ehm….
Correction, but Trump did not betray Flynn. Flynn betrayed Trump, not because he had talked to the Russians but because he had denied he did. The real big story is that the “intelligence community” leaked and exposed Flynn for the liar he is and Trump had to dump him.
https://www.lewrockwell.com/2017/02/patrick-j-buchanan/deep-state-targets-trump/
For when Vice President Pence told a TV show that Flynn told him that sanctions did not come up in conversation with the Russian ambassador, a transcript of Flynn’s call was produced from recordings by intelligence agencies, and its contents leaked to The Washington Post. After seeing the transcript, the White House concluded that Flynn had misled Pence, mutual trust was gone, and Flynn must go.
Flynn is not a big loss as he is an anti-Iran loony. The Feb 14 article was premature panic. The good thing is that the entire planet can now see what is going on in the US, who is fighting who and what is at stake. There is no reason to doubt that Trump really wants peace with Russia, but he must operate in an extremely hostile environment that still holds on to the grand strategy “topple Putin first and add Russia to the West like in 1991-2000 and then address China”.
The best Russian attitude towards Trump must be one of patience and an understanding of the situation Trump is in. Under no circumstance should Russia break with China. But at the same time Russia should be open for a changes of policy in the West, notably Trump and perhaps le Pen, should she become president (normally she would not, but Brexit and Trump happened also against all expectations).
Furthermore I absolutely do not see that the neocons/deep state took control again over Trump; they just managed to snatch a pawn from him in the grand chess game.
What Trump must do is mobilize his electoral support (“bikers for Trump”).
And, frankly, God only knows where this process might lead us next. I, for one, would absolutely not exclude the possibility of civil war in the USA.
That is precisely what is going to happen. The questions is merely when and what America’s Sloviansk is going to be. The civil war will likely begin when Trump will leave the building, vertically or horizontally.
Right now, Trump looks like Yanukovich
Although the characters couldn’t be more different, Trump is America’s Gorbarchev, initiating the breakup of the US empire, whether he wants it or not, probably not. But Gorbachev never wanted to break up the USSR, but it happened anyway… because its time had come. America is destroyed by mass migration and that will be its demise. You only have to study how the Heartland deplorables really think, to know what is coming:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBOTk00eMT4
(3:40-12:40)
“Although the characters couldn’t be more different, Trump is America’s Gorbarchev, …” — interesting thought. Some similarities although I believe the phase of change is well past that.
The USA crisis was in 2008 (+/-1) and what has happened (or rather not happened) in the decade since under the empty-suit Obama administration has, smoke and mirrors aside, been the “Gorbarchev” phase.
What the US has that the USSR did not is a massive owned and integrated mainstream media (msm) pumping fake news 24/7 to convince the plebs that ‘all is ok’ while the mainstream economy rots on the ground. And partly why the msm hysteria now because of the fear of revenge and what an awakening public (under Trump’s trumpeting) are going to do about it.
Waging war by deceit, indeed. And now it’s coming home to roost.
America: ‘The First Step in Solving Any Problem is Recognizing there is One’
https://youtu.be/-RVA3Xayr3A
US is bases on illegal mass migration… ask the First Nations…
I believe that Trump should have refused to act on the basis of information supplied by a hostile US Gestapo. That would have been dignified and would have empowered him for a full assault on the Gestapo. The devil is in the details.
The Saker
I am a first time commenter here but have been admiring this site for some time.
As a voracious student of global geopolitics, I am continually amazed at the glaring lack of mention of what is in essence, the funding base of Neoliberalism. This silence is bordering on deafening.
FACT…. The Neoliberalist agenda is behind of least 90% of global warfare and terrorism.
It is a very simple and basic truth that the most effective way to stop any form of terrorism is to remove its funding base. It should be painfully obvious to anyone, unless you live in a cave, that the funding base for Neoliberalism is the US FED.
Why on earth is the dismemberment of this illegal bankster owned institution, not the most talked about item on the agenda of the populist movement.
There is barely a whisper. I don’t get it!
Cheers
Col
PS The Saker…please keep up your great work…humanity needs you!
Good point, but the Rothschild’s basically own the US Fed. The Rothschild’s basically own the Russian Central bank. No-one, not even Russia, seems inclined to want to tackle any Rothschild’s owned businesses anywhere at present.
Then the opium / heroin trade from Afghanistan or the cocaine trade from South America could be the biggest source of NeoCon funding. Both are essentially CIA run operations, and no-one, not even Russia, seems inclined to want to tackle either of those 2 drug operations at present. Actually, the Taliban does want to tackle opium production in Afghanistan, but they are up against the CIA, so not much chance of success there.
Russia just seems to want to temper the overenthusiasm of the NeoCons / NeoLiberals, not eradicate them.
I disagree with the tone of the article. I am getting more hopeful that Trump knows what he is doing. Look at this article for example: https://www.sott.net/article/343021-Interview-with-DHS-insider-Its-spy-versus-spy
All Trump has to do is start going after those pedophiles enablers at the CIA and Mossad/ British intelligence and it is over. Especially after the obvious way the deep state went after Flynn using the media. By the way, I am not sure if Flynn was doing what Trump wanted. I think he was getting off script, Trump got rid of him and used him to show how the deep state operate at the same time.
We need to give Trump a bit of time. Even Putin needed a bit of time to put the russian/jewish mafia out of action. I hope I dont get censored here because it is the same israel lobby at work in wasthington as the one trying to bring down russia.
You’re bloody crazy if you think they are out of action. They still hold the central bank and Putin has this interesting desire to privatize(read: give to the globalists) state owned businesses. He must think they wont defund or sabotage the RF when they control enough stake in enough businesses in russia. Which obviously he can not think. So like gT said, Putin must believe he can temper the globalist appetite for power. Boy is that a ridiculous notion, but its worth a shot, right, right. :D)
The US political system is not (and was never) democratic but an oligarchic plutocracy. It was built in that way so as to preserve the rights and power of the elites. It’s very difficult (to impossible) for a president to bring fundamental changes.
As for the people, they have no say at all. It’s all a matter of money , influence, media power, lobbyists, and special interests as to whom will be selected for the presidency. The people vote for the one of the two pre selected candidates ( who usually have the same donors, the large multinationals and banking conglomerates).
The same thing is true for the western European parliamentary systems. Especially in the era of globalization where popular and economic sovereignty is being eroded, the system has degenerated to a parliamentary dictatorship.
During cold war there were two parties ( socialists Vs conservatives) that implemented a different economic agenda, but this is impossible nowadays. No matter which party is in power, only neoliberal policies could be enforced because the institutional framework has been built on neoliberal laws, principles and treaties.
With the EU project, legislative and economic decision making has been transferred to a small unelected bureaucratic elite who serves as pawns of multinational corporations. With EU we have a digression to a new era of absolutism.
It’s a joke for this system to be falsely called as democracy. Ancient Athens had a democratic political system.
The system we live is very far from democracy…
I’ve been reading Doug Valentine’s *the CIA as Organized Crime* . I admit that all of the details make it hard to follow at times. It does give one the sense of how entrenched, dare I say hopeless the situation is. There is, and has been a Global Reign of Terror, packaged as global war on terror.
Another thing that I noticed was that the rally began with Melania reciting the Lord’s Prayer. One can, of course, see at this as cynical pandering to the demographic who elected Trump. Or it could be something else, like when Stalin brought out icons in a moment of national crisis. I kind of look at Trump as a type of Pontius Pilate, someone who was part of the Roman hypocrisy, but was placed in his position for a larger purpose. Like Pilate, perhaps, he has a pious wife. In any case she is from eastern Europe, and a lot is at stake..
I believe you have nailed it here. Once again, a concise treatise on current events of import.
It is very interesting to read the commenters and see one constant.
Flynn said anti-Iran things, thus he was bad and useless and had to go.
Or, Flynn lied and trust was lost and he had to go.
Or, Flynn was nobody and his going is meaningless.
But the reality is Saker, very pro-Iran, saw the integral importance of Flynn, inspite of Flynn’s rhetoric being anti-Iran.
And the whole collapse of Trump’s own pronouncements about Crimea, Ukraine and Russia’s involvement in the hostilities in Donbass is the result of the loss of Flynn.
Yet, we have many commenters ignoring the key, the core, the reason the Deep State took Flynn down.
I’ll just say that a whole bunch of commenters are always unable to understand what events mean and pound their desktops in frustration because the observe through ideology and analyze through ideology. Rarely, will ideology match up with reality. The parallax of ideology and reality is too great.
Flynn’s “faults” were precisely the skillset for reforming the IC. He was unafraid to speak truth, and to construct a better way.
Flynn began with Russia and was preparing the Detente.
Flynn brought the military into line behind Trump. Not all, just 200 retired flag officers and hundreds of lesser rank, active and retired.
Flynn most likely “stung” Pence, outing him to Trump.
Pence and the neocons are riding the opportunity as the vast foreign policy space is wide open.
They have made their case, taken their stance for confrontation with Russia.
Trump cannot stop them, yet.
But even if none of this reversal had taken place, Trump would have to deal with Putin. You cannot have Detente unless it is mutual.
What does Putin want from Trump?
Normalization of relations? Cooperation in the war against terrorism?
No Cold War 2?
All the forces of MIC, IC, Deep State, all the Russophobes, all the Liberals and Globalists, were against these things.
Trump had to have Flynn creating leverage with the Pentagon and IC to overcome the ideologues.
Without reform, without Draining the Swamp, which Flynn was about to begin, there would be no leverage.
The real limitations of Presidential power are very evident.
Ultimately, a relationship will be forged as both nations look at each others’ nuclear arsenals.
Missiles with nuclear warheads are now the currency of diplomacy. Russia speaks the lingua franca of geopolitics. Nothing could be more clear than the Hegemon is matched in every manner by Russian nuclear missiles and EW. And from that realization, Trump will gain leverage over his enemies within the government and the Deep State. It will take time. But Trump and the Pentagon well know the US is actually at a disadvantage in doomsday deterrence.
From the rollout of Kalibr, Satan II and the recent use of Kh 101 cruise missiles, Russia has demonstrated a flexible, mobile array of weapons that can penetrate and obliterate any targets anywhere on Earth.
Russia holds a Damocles Sword and the Deep State has put its head on the chopping block by eliminating Flynn and hamstringing Trump.
Poke the Bear and Putin will swing the sword. The result, in geopolitical terms, is a draw—de facto detente. Trump wins against the Deep State. Putin thus holds the sword as shield for Trump.
It will take time for this to be seen, realized and come to fruition.
As Yogi Berra said: it ain’t over till the fat lady sings.
Trump is countering the deep state by pleading for help from the people of the USA(and the world). That’s why he’s on twitter, does the rallies and press conferences. He wants to show that he has good intentions. That he is not the evil maniac media portrays him as being. He’s building more and more support from the population and when the time comes for the deep state to take him out for good he is hoping for the people to push back. The people is his weapon, probably his only weapon right now. I’d say we should support him if we care about “draining the swamp”.
I’m ready to still give Trump the benefit of the doubt. Yes, dropping Flynn hurt him but he may not have had a choice. If he persuaded the Russians not to retaliate after Obama’s expulsion of diplomats, and that he did so under orders from Trump, Trump could hypothetically be impeached under the Logan act. Maybe not likely, but possible.
The press conference revealed that a deal with Russia is still a priority for him. Mentioning the risk of nuclear war as the key reason is something everyone in the country can understand. He is going above the heads of the warmongering press. Stating that it would be better to get along with Russia (and China!) is speaking to the people directly, most of whom would agree.
Trump pretty much stated openly what he needs to do. He needs to get control of his own beurocracy specifically so he *can* make a deal with Russia. He said that up front.
Now whether he can win that battle with the deep state is in doubt. What the press conference showed is that he still is trying to win despite the Flynn fiasco. If anything, he wants to win even more.
One last note. MK Bhadrakumar noticed that Trump openly accused the press of colluding with the intelligence community and being their mouthpiece…and the did not deny it!!! That is a very big deal. I think Trump is still in the fight and is not giving up. I’m praying that he wins.
The Eisenhower Years were the golden age of full employment and rising standards of living.
The Trump Years are going to be the age of a drastic automation of the workforce. This will inevitably spill into various forms of conflicts (to the family sphere up to the national and international spheres) and great human misery.
Creating antagonist factions is a way to avoid real chaos (where people are left to themselves and thus self-orgnaize).
In the 70’s the Deep State used drugs and alternative cultures to destroy the unavoidable opposition that would follow the 70’s crisis of deindustrialization & loss of the value of money. They started to prepare this in the 60’s (hippies etc.)
The splitting of the US population in antagonist factions has been going on for at least a decade (the documentary “Jesus Camp” shows how such a faction can be created out of thin air). So the theater in Washington DC might just be a show indeed, the goal of which would be to create the politcal framework of the conflict.
The greatest danger to massive numbers of jobs in the USA is the oncoming of driverless vehicles.
It is technology pursued by the Silicon Valley-Seattle billionaire leaders for some strange reason.
Trump will have to get a Transportation rule to prevent this from coming into force. Tens of millions of jobs are in the sights of this technology.
Robotics and AI that is possible is not reason for adoption of those technologies.
Technology in the hands of Google, Microsoft, FaceBook and Amazon is doing more evil and damage than good. Most of it, it is anti-work, anti-human and anti-personal sovereignty, as well as completely globalist and feudal in intent.
Trump will definitely have to redirect these trends.
precise and crystal clear analysis …
thank you!
The more damage and chaos Trump do to US Empire the better. The only reason i back him.
On the possible civil war front — someone posted a comment a few days ago saying that the wall with Mexico was also to keep Americans in, when civil unrest really gets started.
I hadn’t thought of that before and so I started watching media coverage in Canada. We have had some refugees fleeing across the Canadian border (walking miles across fields in February – not pleasant!!) A group of 21 people crossed in Manitoba a few days ago. Sure enough, on the Saturday issue of Canada’s National Post (very conservative paper usually, American conservative interests featured especially) the front page read “Should Canada Build a Wall?”
I would assume American establishment (neo)conservatives are behind this.
I think you attach too much importance to the firing of Flynn. During the election campaign Trump fired many people and I think that is what is happening here. He will employ different people and approaches until something works well. He may also be sending a message to his staff that they must follow his plans. Remember how Obama’s staff would go off and do whatever they wanted, such as breaking the Syrian cease fire by bombing Syrian forces? Flynn sounded flakey because apparently as head of DIA, he would ignore evidence and believe what he wanted, a dangerous feature for a White House advisor. We need to see who replaces Flynn before concluding the neocons have “won”.
I find the most interesting person in the Trump administration is Bannon. He apparently was one of the authors of Trump’s inaugural speech which spoke about putting American interests first. I think this is what really threatens the “swamp”. The wars, trade agreements, Wall Street bailouts, offshoring, and so on are a disaster for America but gravy for the lobbyists. I don’t like Bannon’s politics, but if he wants the government to attach importance to the interests of this society, and not treat the government like a piggy bank for his cronies and lobbyists, I will support that. I hope I am not being naive.
The government is like a sailboat with a Broken Mast, in the middle of the OCEAN, pushed by the wind that blows from the FEDS.
What was flynn actually fired for?
This “hunt for the leakers” charade, could it be a cover for an effort to root out potential rebels in the security services who might still have a moral conscience and could expose the no doubt war criminal acts taking shape in the tuppence regime? IE: prevent an Agee, McGhee or Stockwell.
Why were pence, mattis and tillerson abroad implementing policy while trump stayed at home doing PR work?
Why did pence supervise trump’s call with Putin?
Looking at the set up as a trump regime beset by hostile internal and external elements, a lot of what has gone down recently looks very confusing. But when one looks at it as a pence regime in consolidation stage, a lot of that confusion melts away.
For example, it seems the foreign policy trump talked in favour of has been over ridden by the same old aggressive policies. From a trump regime POV, that look inconsistent. But if one considers that pence is the general manager, and that trump’s role is showmanship, it looks consistent since pence represents the the far right zionazis and nazis. These critters agree with the previous war ciminal team on the goals, but have different tactics and strategy ideas. So expect the same govno as from a clinton regime, only done a different way.
Hope lies in neutering these guys as long as possible so their ability to wreck havoc is lessened.
“Why did pence supervise trump’s call with Putin?”
I’m guessing you meant that as a rhetorical question. Since the answer is quite obvious. Pence is the neocon troll put in to stop Trump from improving relations with Russia. I never trusted him.And thought it a horrible idea for him to be Vice President. He is from the hard-right,neo-con branch of the Republican Party. Putting him in was like “putting the fox in the hen-house”.There was no way with him in there as “Trump’s minder”,that the US and Russia would have good relations. And he will push for all the neo-con agenda as well.
I just have a hard time believing that Trump is being monitored at his own risk by the guy who is his next in command…
I think Trump is listening to Pence because Pence is a super experienced politician…I don’t think Trump feels that he is in a trap or a cage.
Maybe Flynn Wanted to resign !?
What if he were being blackmailed because of something in his dark seedy past that he did not want to get out into the public eye….?
So he stepped down.
Wonderful analysis!
While I agree with the Saker that Trump had to protect better his team and Flynn, there are indications that he did not work well with the rest of his team and that his resignation may not be that bad as he became from an asset to liability. And his policy against Iran was very hawkish and dangerous and it is good that he is gone. The Iranians are relieved and so do the Russians who support them.
The biggest danger and a source of disappointment is to expect too much from Trump. He cannot reform the US system and economy as the system is corrupt from top to bottom by employing the same means of the old matrix – the governmental institutions of the Washington swamp. USA is heading to collapse and nobody can prevent that, not even Trump even if he tries hard.
It is the same situation as with Gorbachev after 20 years of stagnation under Breznev, which I experienced first hand, and the subsequent neo-stalinistic purges of the KGB chef Andropov. Who comes too late is pubished by history – this slogan of Gorbachev in Berlin single-handedly led to the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the Iron curtain, which I directly witnessed. It fully applies to Trump and the USA – he has come too late to save the republic. Watch this historical interview with Alex Jones to understand why:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJqLAleEnKw
I think that Trump already accomplished his historical mission by killing the propaganda narrative of the fake MSM in the West which was the major motor driving the hegemonic policy of the triple AAA-Empire (my term for the Anglo-American-Asshole empire equivalent to Saker’s term of Anglo-Zionist Empire but a little bit broader). He who determines the collective mindset wins at the end. The current battle is in the first place a battle of ideas. As the alt-media and the Russian media won the war of ideas with the once “free” propaganda press in the West, so will Trump prevail if he manages to defeat the MSM by declaring them to be the enemies of the people. This is all he can do.
At the end he will fail with his economic program as the banksters cabal behind the private Fed still hold all the strings in their hands and can crash the economy any time and this is precisely what they are doing now.
Trump can only save his presidency if he abolishes the private bank of Fed and takes full control as an executive power over the emission of the US national currency that is now in a state of inner implosion:
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-02-18/theres-something-weird-going-jeff-snider-global-dollar-shortage
There is no logical explanation why a private bank should have full control over the US national currency and wealth and manipulate it with impunity as to create bubble after bubble. Trump knows that as he said in a famous interview in January 2016 with Reuters, hoping that the Fed will burst the bubble before he is elected.
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-trump-economy-idUSMTZSAPEC1QKI56N2
He has the necessary legislation to take full control over the emission of the dollar which was given to him by Kennedy, for which the latter was killed.
However, I doubt if Trump will have the courage to do that and this will be the mortal verdict over his presidency. After that other more powerful forces will take full control over the world events and they will not be of national character.

I just want to say: I love, love, love the comments in this thread. The most amazing thing is that I see a lot of clarity in both camps of the argument here. The anti-Trump (dark realism team) and the pro-Trump (Hopeful but assertive dreamers) are all forming phenomenally good arguments. This is very unusual, but I keep agreeing with very contradictory points of view expressed above. This is very special! I feel like a have a lot of friends here and one day, hopefully not post-apocalyptic, I want to meet you all.
Keep those opinions rolling –I’m having a feast!
You speak my mind Nightingale. I thrive on this kind of astute dialog, and find many mentors here.
In this apocalyptic age of uncertainty holding opposing points of view allows for truth to express its fractal quality. Truth is not static. As in the activity of walking, balance is achieved in movement. The fulcrum of our conceptual positions must maintain a fluid, dynamic state.

“Cheers to Saker and team for providing the platform!

^ I second that! *put my hand up*
This ‘no strings attached’ platform [< by that I mean; we’re not forced to sign-up to the site before we are allowed to participate] give plenty of us: those voices in the wilderness, an opportunity to speak our minds.
And of course we’re not gonna agree with each other every time and on every topic, but that’s the true essence of a genuine debate. Echo chambers are not only boring, but mind rotting – I’ve been in plenty of those in the past :/
But with the Vineyard, I’ll go a step further… and say that what tends to go down in these comment sections is more than just plain “debating,” often it feels more like the brain-storming sessions of a creative team.
Far more exciting than just debating.
But! Also true. None of this could be possible without the Saker himself [the one who started it all], and the people behind him [including the MODS, tech-peeps, guest authors/contributors (etc) ] all of who are making this oh-so-very-deplorable corner of the interwebz a reality ;-)
-TL2Q
PS: And no! I’m not blowing smoke up your butts folks. I just happen to be in one of those very rare days where I feel I have to share my appreciation to my other fellow travelers.
Admittedly; it might have been triggered by the untimely departure from our world of Vitaly Churkin. (So don’t get too used to it ;-) )
In other words: life is mighty short folks. Let’s make it count while we’re still here.
I saw and heard Trump in Florida. I was impressed by the man and his popularity.
Yet I don’t follow him:
1) The jails in USA are already full. What is he going to do with those people which are acting against the law? Is he going ta ask his police to keep on shooting them ?
2) He wants to give more money to the militaro industrial complex. That will not get the US safer, to the contrary, temptation will increase to try the new WMD weapons and other countries will be justified to do the same.
3) Getting rid of ISIS and creating safe zone in Syria is just an excuse to destroy Syria infrastructure, get rid of Assad and create chaos in Syria as Bush, Clinton and Obama have already done in Libya and Irak.
4) KSA to murder the Yemenis is a crime against humanity.
5) Supporting the Nazis from Lviv and Kiew against the Russian speaking people in Donetz, Lugansk is not helping the Ukrainian people but is creating an exposure to the EU, for as Ukraine will become bankrupted, the Ukrainian are going to invade the EU as the Syrians and the Libyan and etc….
If Trump wants a safer world, instead of enhancing ethnic and religious divisions, he should try to reconcile people as Russia is doing in Syria with a major succes in freeing Aleppo.
The Republican “Senator” Lindsey Graham has “finally” pushed the Russophobia too far. There needs to be a response in “no uncertain terms” from Russian politicians.That hyena (no disrespect mean to real hyenas in Africa). At an international conference threatens Russia. That is really too much to be tolerated:
https://www.rt.com/usa/377885-kick-ass-russia-2017-sanctions/
Lindsey Graham: “..And to my friend Mr. Lavrov, I hope you finally suffer some consequences for what you and your regime have been doing to democracies, and 2017 is going to be the year of kicking Russia in the ass in Congress”
Since Graham is promising violence perhaps someone will return it by exchanging the ‘light on the loafers’ kind for some heavier ones -cement maybe?
Ruse and crude as well as a childish moron and lunatic, saying such things in a diplomatic gathering. Wasn’t that long ago one could not even say such a ting on television, much less a public world forum. It shows how unsophisticated and undignified these clowns are and what limited language and cognitive skills they have. He is an embarrassment to the US and to the state of South Carolina.
When I was young, a politician who said such a thing in public, representing the country, would be censured right out the door.
Yes,Lavrov or someone in the Russian delegation should have made a speech saying how shocked and disgusted they were by his lies. It seems that they never do understand the way propaganda works in the West.Their methods may work just fine in Russia. But outside Russia,and especially in the West,they don’t. In the West,he who “strikes first” gets his message across. Unless it is denied,right then and there,it is considered to be true. That is just the way it is. It’s not right,but it works.And that’s all that counts.
Now that the neo-cons have neutered Trump on foreign policy. Maybe not domestic,that is yet to be seen.Things will not get better (my prediction). Pence met will Poroshenko and assured him the US will back the junta against Russia. It seems Trump may have said something about grabbing women by the p….y. But the neo-cons have grabbed him by the b…s,instead. Not only do I believe things will continue with the neo-con agenda (at least mostly) on relations with Russia. But the way I see it,neither the French nor German elections (not sure about the Dutch yet) will produce an adequate regime for improving relations with Russia. As we can easily see with Brexit, where there was zero improvement with Britain’s policy against Russia with that vote.It isn’t important whether the EU splits or not for improving relations. Its only important that the national regimes in EU countries ,either “are” or “are not” Russophobic.And it appears they will still be after the elections.
Trump’s grabbing remark was a leak recording of a private conversation — which he characterized as ‘locker room talk’ — not public diplomacy. Big difference.
Maybe the pendulum will swing, as it tends to do, and people are getting sick of the rude and crude and lack of culture, and some will hear what Graham said and think it was inappropriate. I know I’m getting tired of the lowering standards and constant rough talk. I don’t even know what to say anymore when I get angry since ‘curse like a sailor’ and bombastic speech is everywhere. I do notice that I don’t now hear much of it Trump in public, now that he is being presidential (and frankly, never that much, even when he playing the clown at Wrestlemania (which was, after all, suppose to be child safe).
So what are these gob-spatten morkin fevisgrappen maderagus locostortin politicians going to do next, when they are finsihed sounding like Yosemite Sam?

The esteemed Sen. Graham actually misspoke.
What he meant to say is that 2017 will be the year that America kisses–not kicks–Russia’s ass.

“Draining the swamp: kicking the Neocons down to the basement they crawled out of 24 years ago”.

The reality is not as dark as you may think. Even that Flynn case may have been the contrary to what you describe : wasn’t it a ploy to uncover the moles ?
Time are uncertain…
This comment is, some might say, misplaced, but struck me a relevant…
“…Putin has signaled to our Western “partners” that if they are incapable of calming the Kiev authorities, then Russia is ready to adopt measures that, although unilateral, are fully consistent with international law down to the spirit and letters of the UN Charter…” http://www.fort-russ.com/2017/02/the-real-meaning-behind-putins.html
I consider that the analysis may be correct, inasmuch as it follows a legal logic that we have witnessed within a dialectical series of actions that indicated the new position of RU as described, ie my hypothesis just became, I think, a theory…
Saker may see it similarly… I wonder.
I stand by my pre-election analysis of Trump, some of which appeared here. (Brexit, too, figures into this–see my pieces “Has America Been Punk’d” and “Brexit: A Bucket of Cold Water for You” still floating about the Internet.) Trump is representing the Likud-Right. Iran, Hezbollah, Lebanon and Syria must be taken out to allow creation of Eretz Israel. The Kurds will play a big role in this. Trump is there to see that this happens–so much the better if this can be done with Russian cooperation.
I’d say Putin should save his breath and negotiate directly with Milekowski (Netanyahu) but, as you know, I suspect he’s already done so.
VT, which sometimes contains useful observations, compared the recent Flynn episode to catfishing (of Mr. Putin.) It wasn’t really clear but I believe they are referring to the technique known as “noodling.” In this method, a hand is inserted in front of the catfish in murky water. Thinking it food, the catfish bites down on it and is hauled to the surface…
Looks like Trump may have found the source of his administration’s leaks:

The truth about out sick oligarchs is beginning to emerge into the light!
Sir Edward Heath WAS a paedophile, says police chief: Astonishing claim is made that the former PM is guilty of vile crimes ‘covered up by the Establishment’
It’s all over the UK press yesterday and today.
You might need to be prepared for worse to come.
A small while back I did a heap of research for an article on the pedophilia rampant in UK. There have long been claims with evidence of Heaths activities, however I”m sorry to say – hang on , there’s more.
There is some very strong evidence he was involved in child murder also – one particular case the evidence is overwhelming.
Whether the Establishment will find a way to bury it is another matter.
For some reason this scene from the ” White Tiger “movie comes mind when assessing the current situation in the world. The scene starts towards the end of this epic movie at 1:33:00 and pretty much encapsulates the current state of affairs in the world.
I do not think that the the ” White Tiger tank ” allegory was the personification of evil Germans as some in the comment section of the movie were inclined to think. After all, the war was over, and Germany defeated when movie’s main character says that the “White Tiger tank-aka the universal evil is still there and has not died yet.
If you connect the aforementioned scene with Hitler’s monologue that concludes the movie, the awaking conclusion is that the “White Tiger allegory is hinting at the Jews. Ironically and incidentally perhaps, the “White Tiger tank” was also hiding in the swamp and appeared to be both elusive and impervious to any attempts of destruction just like the Deep State and its minions are.
Not surprised that the movie was excluded from the Foreign Movie competition at Oscars where it was not even nominated. Way too dangerous to watch for the masses from the Kazharian perspective.

Regarding a possible second civil war in the US, I think it is a possibility, but not in the near future. However, there have been some dramatic developments in that direction over the past year or so. Before Hillary lost, a poll found that 40% of Texans supported independence last year (assuming that Hillary would win). Now a recent poll has found that 32% of Californians support independence. This is simply incredible. By comparison, the enthusiasm for Vermont independence back during the Bush years only peaked at around 13%. That is remarkable ground made by the ‘separatists’ in only about 10 years! But those were 10 years of economic decline for the vast majority of the US population, so it is no surprise that people are gradually getting angrier. And when some US state does eventually vote to secede, the US will militarily intervene, no doubt about it.
Was Flynn lost, or was it a ruse? They could find nothing on the phone calls to violate the Logan Act. So why did he step down? Trump fired him is something nice to tell the media. Pelosi was exposed and McCain for their violations of the Logan Act. McCain got duped by some Ukrainian lads over the past week.
Just yesterday the whole of the 7th floor of the state department were told to go; their services were no longer needed = leakers out!
What’s my source? X22Report.com
Don’t underestimate the determination of the the guys in the white hats. They’ve learned the hard lessons and can dish out back to those that dished to them on their own terms. They don’t do that to their allies as the neocons do their own. How come? They are not psychotic. Study how psychotics operate and you’ll get all the answers you need. The operators of the cabal we see are but mere puppets who will be thrown under the bus if they get caught.
Saker, in my life I have found two types of dreams; one that is an idea, a utopian ideal, and the other what can actually be done that as close as possible opens the way to the dream. If one approach doesn’t work try another and another until utopia is in sight. That’s what Trump does. Just look at all his failed projects, all his rorts that came undone
(rort rôrt/noun Australian informal plural noun: rorts 1. a fraudulent or dishonest act or practice.”a tax rort” 2.a wild party.)
Trump said to media that he can bring out all the dirt for all to see. Perhaps that will be his last resort, his ace up his sleeve, if forced to. Let’s hope he uses his ace soon.
Indeed so. It is the failure ? refusal ? inability ? of the Trump presidency to drop the hammer on scum like Podesta, the Clintons, McCain et al. that is inexplicable and disheartening.
If it were “game on” people would be much more inclined to overlook minimal (apparent) swamp-draining progress because they would have faith that the struggle would not be stopped short of unconditional surrender/prosecution/imprisonment. And if this took suspending habias corpus or even declaring martial law and ruling by fiat, giving judges and billionaires vacations in Guantanimo (all expenses paid until they were recouped by fines), when opposition spilled into the streets, the deer hunter auxilliary would make the police’s job easier.
It is going to come to that anyhow — perhaps he wants to bide his time while strengthening his position, out of sight of the public (like gaining control of the 3-letter agencies) ?
I would downplay the importance of economics in crystalizing resistance. Conditions have been bad for some years — by post-1950 standards, unimaginably bad — without this triggering secession campaigns. What infuriates people is being ruled with an iron rod by people who clearly hold them, their history and their cherished values in open contempt.
Much more could be said, but need not be. Time will tell.
“Greenwald: Empowering the “Deep State” to Undermine Trump is Prescription for Destroying Democracy”

Forget Greenwald, Anon.
Greenwald was born a shill and went to the clown academy. That guarantees him a regular stint on ‘Democracy How?’ where he is free to scare the kids and to babble virus-laced Zionist code.
Re: Point 1. “Draining the swamp” may refer to a much broader intention than the Saker’s interpretation of it. It more likely refers to dealing with serious political and institutional corruption, including pedophilia networks, treason, financial mega fraud, and a media that is committed to disinformation on behalf of the swamp.
Trump has already begun to reform the corrupted government lobbyist process. And if Robert David Steele is correct, 2017 will include much more public awareness of, and arrests in relation to, CIA and MOSSAD pedo-pervert blackmailing operations.
In regard to the foreign policy of the US, In order to break significant new ground, Trump must first consolidate power and expand his support across/in the US, and this appears to be happening. He is becoming more popular, despite, just weeks into his presidency, facing an unprecedented broad spectrum attempt to take him down. This includes most of the political establishment. And the media is non-stop trying to vilify him, question his sanity, patriotism, human decency, etc etc. Large numbers of paid protesters have been mobilized, and many brainwashed people still think Trump is a terrible person and support all sorts of ‘get Trump’ scenarios.
Many people antithetical to Trump remain in positions of power across the US, and some of these can be removed over time. But it takes time. Meanwhile they can thrown monkey wrenches into his initiatives, as in the court basically ruling that they, not the president, were in charge of US border security and immigration/migration issues.
Let’s give the Trump process a chance. He has to learn the ropes; he has to consolidate power; he has to nurture stronger popular support. He is up against extreme evil, deeply embedded in the US in pretty well every federal institution. This is not a one round bout. This is a huge struggle. But Trump represents a real awakening, and a new spirit of enough is enough, we want our country back, in the US, which even if he is defeated, or many things are left undone or in a mess, will not die with him.

The script advises callers to say: “I’m honestly scared that a known racist and anti-Semite will be working just feet from the Oval Office … It is everyone’s business if a man who promoted white supremacy is serving as an adviser to the president.”

It looks like Trump is considering H. R. McMaster, to replace M. Flynn. That would be a more pragmatic choice than J. Bolton…
The wikipedia writeup looks good, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._R._McMaster
but he should steer clear of the Air Force, I guess,

Gen. H.R. McMaster Injured After Leaping Off Roof Wearing Homemade Wings
…
McMaster reportedly crafted the “wings” using feathers from a ripped-open pillow, popsicle sticks, and Elmer’s glue. After the glue dried, he strapped them onto his back and walked through his offices and a nearby barracks, flipping fellow soldiers off and yelling “so long, losers whom I’ve always hated!”

Am I awake? This must be a dream, right?
For everybody seeing Flynn’s quitting as a bad thing (including saker) I highly recommend getting Dr Steve Pieczinik’s view… stevepieczinik.com
He says Flynn knew he was there for one main reason.. to get Trump into office, then depart.
He performed his role and did his job.
The good dr believes there will necessarily be many more firings and hiring to come.
He claims to be one of the main ‘intelligence operatives’ behind the counter coup that got Trump into the presidency, and going by what has happened and following his work for some years now I believe him.
The New Yorker had an interesting article about Flynn. Pro-Russia but also extremely anti-Iran. (I have always wondered if the Trump victory meant we avoided a war with Russia but gained a war with Iran instead. Time will tell.)
There were also hints that Flynn did not get along with Bannon. It’s possible this was actually the result of a power struggle within the Trump administration.
http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/02/27/michael-flynn-general-chaos
On the plus side, Glenn Greenwald had an excellent interview on Democracy Now, where he explained that there is a Deep State war against Trump because of his foreign policy positions. Maybe that point of view is getting a little more public airing!
How about this… a vision to help President Trump get a proper cabinet and a NEW way of governing that is in line with the technology we have…

7 Predictions from Robert David Steele
Preibus Goes
Preibus’s role in life – Trump has known this – has been to prevent Trump from unrigging the system – Reince Preibus is the face of the Establishment and the leading mole in the White House.
Trump Doubles-Down on Wrong Approach to National Security & National Strategy
There are really two issues here. First, Trump needs a National Strategy Advisor who can do Whole of Government strategy and stop the continued efforts of the neo-cons to pick fights we cannot win and cannot afford; and second, Trump needs to purge the US government of roughly 500 traitors concentrated in the national security bureaucracy. Trump is going to get this wrong again.
Bannon Gets Playmates
This will shock some, but the idea is being considered and the main players get it. The Trump team is too white, too old, and too fat. They need black – Cynthia McKinney – and skinny center-left ethical – Dennis Kucinich. Throw in Ralph Nader supporting Jeff Sessions in some capacity, and Jesse Ventura as Governor-General with Mike Huckabee as a side-kick – both assuring state rights are front and center, and you have a diversity machine ready to kick some ass. This will stop the looming “American Spring” violence being planned by George Soros and others, if Trump also barnstorms the country with his new team – 50 states in 30 days – explaining to the public why they should demand and embrace the …
Electoral Reform Act
The system is rigged twelve different ways. We fix that and it changes everything. There is one big move – and one big move only – that can slam the Establishment back into a small box, liberate the Members from financial dependencies, empower Trump with the popular vote across all boundaries, and make evidence-based governance in the public interest possible. The Electoral Reform Act that many activists have been calling for since Occupy first considered the matter in 2011 is a transformative move.
Trump Channel
Preibus stopped the original and correct instinct of the president, to throw the press corps out of the White House. A Trump Channel – picture a daily seven-minute Presidential fireside chat, multiple fifteen minute briefs by Cabinet officials across all policy domains, and presidential tweets that ask a question answered by 150 million or more via PollMole, our new secret weapon for direct democracy, on a Presidential Dashboard that can drill down to individual Congressional districts and specific demographics. Good-bye fake news media, hello power to the people.
Debt Be Gone
Donald Trump came into office acutely aware of the sovereign debt. He was less aware of the fact that individual, family, and small business debt is three trillion dollars and rising. Now he understands that a Debt Renunciation Pledge at a non-profit website outside the government, one that empowers Donald Trump as an individual to renegotiate that debt, does two things: first, it give Donald Trump the specifics including the email address of every person opting in (say 100 million), and second, it allows Donald Trump to go to the banks and do what he has done so well for himself: renegotiate the debt. No President has ever connected to the public so directly. This is another game-changer.
Secure Communications for Everyone, NSA Dismantled by Executive Order
The National Security Agency (NSA) has been spying on all US politicians (including Barack Obama since he was a junior Senator according to Russ Tice, NSA whistle-blower). There is a new technology that the Trump team used to good effect during the campaign, Defense Enabling and Assisting Framework (DEAF). It is said to be impervious to interception; does not “flag” the exchange as an encrypted exchange warranting deeper scrutiny, and installation on one device automatically extends to all other devices exchanging information with the host unit. I predict President Trump will abandon the existing “secure” communications architecture that has consumed trillions of dollars, and migrate the US Government to a commercially-based network where all communications public and private are protected. I further anticipate that NSA – which has no legislative charter – will be dismantled by Executive Order.

It’s so amazing how much I know now about international affairs, thanks to reading your articles.. Keep it up…. May God continue to increase you in wisdom. Amen.

Trump is compelled by the deep states to mix truth with falsehood and further more he has to hide the truth in reality while he (Trump) knows the truth, for the sake of NWO.
There is speculation that Flynn was too anti-Iranian and had to go because Trump now wants to
move away from confrontation with Iran.
Here is a completely different take: Flynn saga was a honey trap for leakers.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrP7dIGmdXM
Implications:
1. Inane speculation about Russia trading Snowden to the US should cease,
even in the always wrong US press. I never believed it would happen but given
recent belligerence by McCain and Graham in Munich, there is zero chance;
Russia would lose great face politically, at home and abroad, and of
course, Edward will continue to be a thorn in the side of the Deep State.
2. Trump’s plan to eliminate unfair trading practices by renegotiating
longstanding trade deals is probably dead. The Republicans are fighting
amongst themselves, and due to the fact that both parties are controlled
by corporate donors, the massive investments made abroad to manufacture
for import to the US will simply not be abandoned. Therefore, China will
continue to amass economic and military power while the US will grow
weaker day by day, year by year.
3. The Republicans will be the overall losers in the 2018 elections because
they will have proven, once again, that they cannot govern effectively (and
their ranks are overflowing with dunces and crapheads — McCain isn’t a
“maverck”, he is just wrongheaded.)
4. Having lost its chance to build an effectively balanced, multipolar world
that is reasonably fair to everyone, the US will in time find that it is the
one who is surrounded. Pivot to Asia is dead, the Northern Passage will
continue to melt, the Belt and Road project will prosper, China will control
its seas, and the US will find itself, even more than it is today, at the mercy
of its foreign suppliers. This will of course take time to play out, but by
2025 its inevitability will become totally obvious to even the most casual observers.
5. The Ukraine civil war will remain frozen, at best, until a new government
is established in Kiev on top of the ruins of Porky’s Palace regime. McCain
and Graham will stir the shitpot if Trump tries to settle for less than
unconditional surrender by the rebels — and Putin cannot suffer the political
damage of a genocidal victory by Kiev. (I never comprehended the idea that Donestk
and Lugansk would be reintegrated into Ukraine after everything that has been
done to them.)

Saker:
I greatly appreciate your views. But please do not confuse my opposition to the Neocons as any hope for harm to my country. You are way too cynical, defeatist, and counter-productive on the barely 30 day old Trump Administration. I suspect President Putin has more respect for Trump America than you do. We are wide awake and can’t go back to sleep even if we tried. You are interjecting too much of your own baggage on this subject. Take more information in, let time provide more data inputs, and reflect more before going Chicken Little on us.

Complete agreement with your analysis, This IS how it looks to this old staunch Constitutionalist, populist activist, Perotista and one time founder of the Patriot Party of Virginia, USA.

“Give me control of a Nation’s Money Supply, and I care not who makes it’s laws” — Mayer Amschel Bauer Rothschild
Pardon me while I suppress a yawn; it’s mid-morning and I am still a little tired from clearing snow from the roofs and around the buildings. It is a sunny day, so I shall probably drag myself out for a walk in the fresh northern air.
Perhaps the esteemed author of the above article is familiar with the book, “The New Jerusalem: Zionist Power in America”, by Michael Collins Piper. There is a chapter in this book which is entitled, “Who Towers Behind Trump:?:The Strange Story of the Donald”. Thar was my first serious introduction to our Bloviator in Chief. In October of 2015, I began to do some serious research on the “Don” because his Mafia, Zionist, and CIA associations intrigued me. So, I began to bone up on the conceited showman’s life. Some of the works that proved to be useful for this endeavor were: “The Trumps: Three Generations of Builders and a Presidential Candidate”, by Glenda Blair; “Trump: The Greatest Show on Earth”, by Wayne Barrett; “The Making of Donald Trump”, by David Cay Johnson; “Never Enough: Donald Trump and the Pursuit of Success”, by Michael D’Antonio; and “Trump Revealed: An American Journey of Ambition, Ego, Money, and Power”, by Michael Kranish and Mark Fisher .
I had already begun to think that Trump would become our next president in October of 2015, but it was not until the day after the 2016 Republican convention that I became convinced that he would be victorious over Hillary Clinton. As one who considers Ms. Clinton to be a modern-day version of Lady Macbeth, I wanted to see her defeated; however, as someone who had thoroughly researched the corrupt, vainglorious and crooked “Don”, I was no fan of this vaunted mobbed-up, Manhattan con man. Why would a purported billionaire who hates his lower-level union and non-union employees really be interested in doing anything useful for the middle class, let alone the poor? I figured early on that the “Don” would do whatever was in the best interest of the “Don” [’nuff said.].
But the “Don” kept on lying, kept on incessantly tweeting about minutiae, kept on demeaning women, kept on making empty promises, kept on fending off sexual harassment and other lawsuits, kept on explaining away Trump University, kept on telling more lies, kept on making more empty promises, kept on tweeting more drivel, and kept on overreacting to every criticism like the pathological panty-waisted weaseling narcissist that he is.
Those who swallowed his poisonous snake oil-flavored Kool-aid were obviously desperate for any alternative to a satanic witch like Hillary Clinton and her neo-liberalizing, social-engineering, identity specializing, and politically correcting colony of jabbering media baboons, think tanks, and NGOs. (“Ding-dong, the wicked witch is dead!” Don’t forget to drive a stake into wherever her heart should have been, if she ever really had one.)
But the “Don”, as a serious alternative to Hillary Clinton? Methinks thou doth expect too much from this pompous and gutless mental midget with an oversized ego. Trump is one hell of an entertainer, I will grant him that, but he is not the leader that the common people need. We need a leader who understands the way that Washington Deceit really works; who knows and understands the ugly history of the United States Government – the unnecessary wars of aggression, the coups, the genocide, the exploitation, and the expansion all in the name of the malarkey of ‘manifest destiny’. From the phony ‘Cuz-I-say-so Monroe Doctrine to the USG’s preposterous position as the leader of the free world and the world’s policeman, the entire journey has been a huge wealth and Wall Street ruse and excuse for the full-spectrum domination of the entire world for the benefit of Anglo-American corporatism. Democracy, my ass!
Although Moses Hess was both the prophet of both Communism and Zionism neither of these ideologies would borne their poisonous fruit without the aid of such wealthy corporatists as the Rothschilds and the Warbergs. USA, Inc.is a corporatist entity, the ideology of which is corporatism. Donald J. Trump (aka John Barron) is an arch-corporatist.
So I am sort of left wondering, as I suppress another gaping yawn, is there still some part of the gutless, overly-leveraged bloviator’s retreat form his empty campaign promises that you do not understand. If this is truly the case, you have my e-mail, I shall be happy to set up a telephone call with you, wherein I shall joyously explain the facts of political reality as I see them, i.e., based upon centuries of history of conquest and exploitation. Exempli gratia, at 11:30 AM on September 11, 2001, I called my mother to let her not that she should not be frightened by ‘terrorists’, because it was the CIA terrorists that had declared war on America and not some group of independently operating terrorists. In other words the USG had full control of the situation; Team Neo-con was fully in charge.
[P.S. My great- grandfather, who belonged to the charitable organization known as the Fraternal order of Eagles, actually kept a pet eagle in one of his establishments. Each morning the eagle would be taken outside and released to fly freely for the day. At day’s end the eagle would return for its nighty roost. He also kept John L. Sullivan’s championship belt in his home for safekeeping.]
If President Trump is all you say he is, why is the CIA, the media and the Pentagon attacking him so desperately?
It is certainly not a double bluff by the Anglo Zionist Empire, for the sake of the few people who inhabit the rarefied universe of genuine analysis.

You have failed to answer my question and have chosen instead to nitpick.
I wonder why?
Forget picnics, but the majority of people have to be convinced, and must believe that Trump tried the best but, that enormous pressure forced him to change the course 180 degrees.
All that effort by the Deep State to placate the perhaps 5% who are serious conspiracy investigators? You are vain.
They can change support for Trump, or anyone, by – + 30% after one CIANN broadcast with Wolf Blitzkrieg, through the stroke of a pen.
Comment removed …. Please re-read moderation policy #2 … we are here to discuss ideas and events not for impuning other commentators …. mod-hs
Trump has 2 options:
“Stay the course” and may be impeached,
or he may change the course 180 degrees and may be reelected …only time will tell.
There is more at the book:
“En Route to Global Occupation” – Gary H. Kah
“It is a sweet irony that the big proponents of divide et impera did just that to themselves, is it not?”
Blowback is sweet. And, these, days, we have to take what relief we can get.
The neocons have no skillsets. “What they can do is double-down, then double-down again, and then double-down some more. And that kind of maniacal attitude always leads to catastrophe.”
That is almost the definition of the prevailing religion of the neo-cons – talmudo-satanism. While we can take no comfort in the Faustian myth of evil in which the devil is “that power which wills forever evil but does forever good” – a far classier devil than these – we can see that it is only evil that can defeat itself, though we can help by not increasing it and marshaling what power we, as humans, have.
Mephistopheles loses the soul of Faust through arrogant pride. That and the grace of God. We can hope for at least that much.
It is enough to see Wolf Blitzkrieg, Jake Tapper, Krauthammer, Kristol, Kagan, Nuland – the entire cabal – to know that neither humility, nor humanity, are their strong suit. They are their own undoing. Once exposed, they are, (after we have gone through the stages of denial disgust, fear), finally laughable, just as Saker points out.
More mundanely, a tick always falls off if the host dies, or if it is sated with blood.
I also enjoyed the crossover of the Russian ‘three’ (‘tri’) which probably brought you to ‘tree letter agencies’.

Sadly, facts and “hope” are at odds with each other in geopolitics and power play. Many who summed up Trump from the initial stages took into consideration the reality of US foreign policy and the actual decision makers who formulate the policies.
Excellent work, Saker, among your very best analytical essays.
I wonder though, if Trump’s support faction – being the smaller, overtly rebellious contingent of deep state infighting – is capable of mounting the level of resistance you suggest is possible.
My doubts lie in the near-total control necons exercise over mass media, achieved via decades of documented, corrupt CIA penetration and control. After all, very few Americans take the time to read at all – and the Trump faction simply has to have active citizen support to prevail.
Greater America absorbs substantial portions of TV’s bastardized description of reality on a daily basis, ultimately internalizing it as the real thing out of its sheer repetition. Ergo, America inevitably gets to the place where, “Omigod! Saddam has WMDs.”
It’s beyond amazing how many “thinking” Americans still believe that deadly canard.
Sadly lost on TV’s Lotus Eaters is a fundamental truth once voiced by Roger Ailes, while employed as a media consultant for the Nixon Administration:
“Today television news is watched more often than people read newspapers, than people listen to the radio, than people read or gather any other form of communication. The reason: People are lazy. With television you just sit – watch – listen. The thinking is done for you.”
TV has evolved into the vehicle ordinary Americans use to avoid confronting the perilous moral conundrum of bombing millions of people to death – while simultaneously maintaining great pride in being a citizen of the (supposedly) foremost progressive, democratic, rule of law and human rights-oriented state on earth.
The level of power enabling a small group of men to successfully, firmly establish a national self-image in their countrymen – an image that exists unmistakably within the parameters outlined in the previous paragraph – is beyond enormous. It approaches invulnerability.
“Trump will die in jail,” according to some current reports. Maybe so, maybe not. What seems clear is that Trump’s presidency is doomed. The Oval Office is reserved by the deep state for neocon Fellow Travelers like Hillary and Pence.
Continued survival of the dollar as world reserve currency demands it. (I may have heard that here : )
You’re invaluable, Saker, mon frere. Please see to your own safety. The deep state hates the light more than anything else and yours shines ever brightly – even if only for a pitiful few.
Thank you,
John
Great stuff as usual.
I certainly agree that half the “Trump dream” was about a major foreign policy change…and the ousting of Flynn is a major nightmare.
I thought that changing foreign policy would be a heckuva lot less ambitious than ‘draining the swamp’ in Washington. But we see that the powers that be do not want to release 1 iota of control in foreign policy.
Trump spending just 1 day in office was a major blow to the establishment and the US image! What you wrote is very true: remain hopeful for more, but not expect it.
Trump was and is very good news. Still, as said in the below article (in french), the only politician to have had and to have a majority in the US congress is Netanyau.
But he was defeated, and he can still be defeated again, by Trump and others.
http://www.comite-valmy.org/spip.php?article8265
I think what we’re seeing is an orchestrated colored revolution, a Maidan coup, in the USA. A collaboration between Trump and the liberal media, leading to the end of democratic process, such as it is. A big step toward brining down the US and ushering in world government.
No escape from The Matrix!
