The liberal/progressive/left are enjoying their drunkfest of denunciation. I can’t say I have ever witnessed anything like it. These are the people who sat on their hands for 16 years while Washington destroyed in whole or part seven countries. Not being satisfied with this level of warmongering and crimes against humanity, Washington orchestrated a conflict situation with Russia. Americans elected a president who said he would defuse this dangerous conflict, and the liberal/progressive/left turned on him. In contrast, one person is killed after the hated Charlottesville protest event was over, and there is endless absurd outrage against the president of the US.
Three New York Times presstitutes yesterday blamed the crisis on Trump, declaring him “increasingly isolated in a racial crisis of his own making.” Apparently, Trump is responsible for the crisis because he blamed both protest groups for the violence.
But isn’t that what happened? Wasn’t there violence on both sides? That was the impression I got from the news reporting. I’m not surprised that Trump got the same impression. Indeed, many readers have sent emails that they received the same impression of mutual violence.
So Trump is being damned for stating the truth.
Let’s assume that the impression Trump and many others got from the news is wrong. That would make Trump guilty of arriving at a mistaken conclusion. Yet, he is accused of instigating and supporting Nazi violence. How is it possible to transform a mistake into evil intent? A mistaken impression gained from news reporting does not constitute a “defense of white nationalist protesters.” An assertion by the New York Times cannot turn the absence of intent into intent. What the Establishment is trying to do is to push Trump into the arms of white supremacists, which is where they want him.
Clearly, there is no basis for this charge. It is a lie, an orchestration that is being used to delegitimize President Trump and those who elected him.
The question is: who is behind this orchestration?
The orchestration is causing people to run away from Trump or is being used as an excuse by them to further the plot to remove him from office.
Trump’s Strategic and Policy Forum headed by Stephen A. Schwarzman ran away, just as members of the Carter Center’s board deserted President Jimmy Carter when he criticized Israel for its apartheid policy toward the Palestinians. The New York Times says that the armed services chiefs are running away. And the entire Republican Party.
The hypocrisy is stunning. For 16 years the armed services chiefs, the New York Times and the rest of the presstitute media, both political parties and the liberal/progressive/left have participated actively or passively in massive crimes against humanity. There are millions of dead, maimed, and displaced people. Yet one death in Charlottesville has produced a greater outpouring of protest.
I don’t believe it is sincere. I don’t believe that people who are insensitive to the deaths of millions at the hands of their government can be so upset over the death of one person. Assume that Trump is responsible for the death of the woman. How much blood is it compared to the blood on the hands of Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Obama? It seems clear enough that the outpouring of grief is an orchestration designed to deligitimize the president and the people who elected him. We are now experiencing at home what the Obama regime inflicted on Ukraine, with the support of course of the liberal/progressive/left just as John Wight said in CounterPunch.
Just as the majority of the Maiden protesters had no idea they were being used, the same is the case for the majority of those protesting the false charge against Trump. For most of the liberal/progressive/left, the hatred of Trump and white nationalists that they are expressing is a reflexive result of the Identity Politics with which they are imbued.
Any objective reading of the situation has to conclude that the hate with which Trump and the “deplorables” who elected him are being covered far exceeds in amount the hate expressed by the white nationalists.
Members of the liberal/progressive/left are proclaiming that despicable people such as white nationalists should not be allowed to protest and should not be given a permit to protest. They forget that protest is a right.
The US Supreme Court settled the issue 40 years ago in 1977 by overturning an Illinois court order that blocked an extremist protest in Skokie, a Jewish suburb of Chicago. The Supreme Court ruled that protest is not limited by the fact that some people will be offended or by the chance that there will be violent reactions. Otherwise, whatever faction happens to be in charge can suppress dissent by everyone else.
For decades the liberal/progressive/left has invested heavily in driving people apart. Black studies, women’s studies, and Native American studies can easily cross into propaganda that generates hatred. As a man of peace said, “a house divided against itself cannot stand.”
Charlottesville has given us a debauchery of denunciation that proves that we are a divided nation. Does a nation so divided really want to be in conflict with Russia and China and Iran? If the US is the institutionalization of White Supremacy as the liberal/progressive/left says, how can it be that Americans are simultaneously the “exceptional, indispensable people” with the right to bomb other peoples into the stone age?
Obviously, there is a lot in this scenario that does not make sense.
My readers on my website are people capable of independent thought. They understand that an explanation of something is not an excuse for it. My explanations are explanations. They might be wrong, but they are not apologies. I find it necessary to say this, because my columns are reposted on many other websites where some of the audience wants to hear only what they already believe and are always looking for someone to denounce. It is a great disability for the United States that only a limited number of its citizens are capable of independent thought. Perhaps this is a problem for every country, but it most certainly is a problem for the United States.
The United States has another great disability, and that is that its intellectual class, or perhaps I should say its semi-intellectual class, has a large contingent of cowards who are too fearful to be truthful. Of course, considering the witchhunt mentality that Identity Politics has created, they have reasons to be fearful, but their cowardice leaves the burden of searching for and defending truth to a few.
Note: Virginia governor McAuliffe made false claims that were spread around the world by the presstitutes that the white nationalists had weapons caches and that the Virginia police were outgunned by the supremacists. Reason.com reports that the police have contradicted the governor with the statement that no such weapons caches were found. http://reason.com/blog/2017/08/16/virginia-state-police-say-they-didnt-fin
Anyone who has been around politics will tell you that in a (so called) Western Democracy there are no more dangerous words that can be said, specially by regular folks, that these five:
This Is Not My President.
When you start hearing them all around you, take cover because what is coming next won`t be pretty.
“How is it possible to transform a mistake into evil intent?”
Fact is the US has always assumed the best “intent” on itself, but assumed the worst intent on other nations.
Thus, when it is invading others, it first assumes (and spread propaganda on) the WORST INTENT on the “target” nations/countries/regimes that it bombed.
Thus it assumed the worst intent on Serbians and Saddam Hussein in the 90s, making up genocides that did not exist
Then it assumed the worst intent on the Afgan government,
then it assumed the worst intent on Gadafi,
next it assumed the worst intent on Assad.
It’s only the help from Russia that prevented the toppling of Assad.
So the current interpretation of bad intent on Trump is only a manifestation of the same thing, just that this time, it’s on the POTUS!
“So the current interpretation of bad intent on Trump is only a manifestation of the same thing, just that this time, it’s on the POTUS!”
Yeah, and that’s something unusual. For instance, when it came to W. Bush’s “mistake” of not finding weapons of mass destruction, the “prevalent” narrative was that it was a mistake. When it came to Obama’s “mistake” of backing radical Islamists, the “prevalent” narrative was that it was a mistake. When it comes to Trump, this pattern is getting thrown out the window.
Let’s be honest: If the mainstream media did not build up Trump as this big “anti-establishment” figure, he never would have won the election. It’s like Trump’s main purpose was always to demonize real bankster opposition, both in the US and Russia…
The state of society within America can be summed up by this quote from Francis Bacon:
“Men prefer to believe what they prefer to be True.”
With such a mindset, ideology overrides simple facts, evidence and plain commonsense.

this cannot end well
@PCR:
Thank you for your article, and my first impression is that you are spot on.
You know, more than a week before the USA presidential elections I predicted to my daughter (she is 10 years old) that Trump would win. She looked at me in total amazement, and I explained to her that when in the polls Clinton has a narrow advantage, but when the composition of the sample is way out of line with the population I know enough.
The real composition in the USA is roughly 1/3 Democrats, 1/3 Republicans and 1/3 independent. In the mostly published polls some 75% of the samples people were Democrat. Nobody reads further. In statistics this is called ‘oversampling’, or in plain english: cheating.
So now we have Trump. And the deep state is in trouble. Trump cannot defeat them, I have the impression that he has to act with a virtual gun pointed at his head, and maybe at his family heads as well.
So they want to get rid of him. This Charlottesville ‘thing’ is in my opinion staged to throw mud at Trump, on which he is guilty himself by reacting wrongly as well. This story smells like pure BS.
So I guess the story is, as I’m guessing, get rid of Trump and have Pence instead. My guess is that this shady Pence was forced upon him by the GOP as a kind of ‘insurance’.
I have stated before, that my guess is that Hillary lost the elections when she declared the voters for Trump ‘ a basket of deplorables’.
You cannot be president of a nation when you exclude people. A president should unite people.
The last time I experienced such a divided nation, was in the eighties of last century in Great Britain. The prime minister then was Margaret Thatcher. People were against her, or in favour of her. I remember that then I was against her, but now I can amuse myself with backward speeches of her, yelling at the EU ‘I want my money back’, and knowing that she was completely fooled into this insane war with Argentina about the Falkland islands (just read the book ‘a century of war’ from your highly appreciated colleague Frederick William Engdahl). Recently Thatcher died. Still people in Great Britain were cheering that, having the song ‘ding-dong, the which is dead’ from the movie ‘the yellow brick road’ upright in the charts.
What now? I don’t know. There is a deep state, there is a fully functional shadow government, we have a president with a pistol aimed at his head. There are people yelling in the most emotional state. This is present America.
My guess is, that eventually Trump will be forced from office. And after that, nothing will change.
Putin already prescribed this, when describing that Trump would be the fourth USA president he would be dealing with. Nothing changes.
Thanks for posting this. I fear that dark days are upon us, and the number of people who are willing and able to pause and listen to reason is dropping rapidly. I just read a very thoughtful piece “Virtue and the moral fall of civilization” by Sultan Knish, posted on Before Its News –here are some quotes: “As a civilization declines, it becomes barbaric. Civilizations are built on virtue–without virtue, there is no civilization. The first thing that goes in a moral catastrophe is virtue. The second is reason. The 3rd is foresight. The 4th is competence. The 5th is self control. ” I also fear that most of the “leaders” we have are nihilists, and their contempt for human life horrifying. Now, I haven’t been able to confirm this one yet–apparently James Mattis made some comment recently about how anti-war protesters are “pussy’s”. I guess he can believe whatever he wants to, no matter how mistaken he may be. Some of us are able look at the massive war cemeteries and believe that way too many people have died , and I for one can hope that if a general is not in some mad rush to waste even more human life he may be worthy of the rank.
The bottom line to all this is the left’s (I find it hard to use that word. Because they are a perversion of the old left) plot to destroy the 1st Amendment in the US. And silence all speech that disagree’s with them. Its the culmination of years of brainwashing on the people they have practiced. Coupled with their plotting to overthrow President Trump. This the third or fourth of their tries now,starting with “Russia,Russia,Russia”,and now into “Racist,Racist,Racist”. After all those attempts, they think (I’m not sure if they are correct in that thinking yet) they “finally” have a winner on their hands.But as race is the “third rail” in the US’s internal system. The one that can kill you if touched.They may be right.But its like “going nuclear”. You can’t know the results if you use that weapon for you yourself.So its extremely reckless of them to use it.
Again, perfect nonsense.
There is no left and there is no right, only paid agents of the oligarchy, trying hard to create the impression of the conditions required for the intensification of technocratic fascism.
Smart people like yourself don’t misunderstand UB.
They decide to collaborate.
Interesting how you seem to fit in with exactly what I said about those trying to silence opinions that don’t match their’s. Thanks for so quickly showing everyone how right I was about that.
Setting yourself up as the proverbial uncle, bard of all familial dysfunction. Even your name is a giveaway for your role policing commentary on behalf of sociocrats.
No bob, I would never attempt to silence anyone who has a legitmate opinion. Ironically what you accuse me of is exactly the function you serve, attempting to bury and diminish the disgust we feel at having every debate and discussion manipulated on behalf of a degenerate elite.
Someone with a screen name combining Lumpen (as in “Lumpen proletariat” ) and Troll lecturing me on my screen name is pretty foolish. But I think the readers can clearly see which one of us tries to shut down speech. Hint,its you,typical hasbara,you liberals are taught.
Ah Ubob, like Kat Kan (rest her soul) you never really did agree that it would be ok if inheritance was abolished.
Her benevolent trillionaire was yet another interesting distraction.
Lumpentroll: No bob, I would never attempt to silence anyone who has a legitmate opinion
And you will let me decide who is legitimate here and who is only worth a lead through a silencer, right?
Daad, when we will finally go out sorting legitimate ones from deplorables?
Uncle Bob: For God’s sake don’t waste time arguing with the Lumpencrazies of the world. You post great stuff, keep it up. Cheers.
Well said, L. Generally don’t agree with what you write, but this time I do.
Obviously, the Russian hackers got to me.
I gather Uncle Bob is describing street-level view of people like Antifa and their supporters. It also applies to people in the liberal media, who are pouring gasoline on a simmering conflict in the US. Basically, these people have no political power in the larger scheme of things, and now seem to think that street violence and mob action are some sort of solution.
Lumpentroll, on the other hand, is talking about the leadership class, which in the US has indeed been almost entirely bought out by the oligarch class. They don’t really care about political labels.
It seems important to understand this distinction, because we are talking about very different groups of people who do not share basic class interests.
” Virginia governor McAuliffe made false claims that were spread around the world by the presstitutes that the white nationalists had weapons caches and that the Virginia police were outgunned by the supremacists”
McAuliffe is a producer of this scenario.
He is a Democratic Party operative.
He has no business being governor of a state. How did he get there?
Wikipedia:
“He was chairman of the Democratic National Committee from 2001 to 2005, was co-chairman of President Bill Clinton’s 1996 re-election campaign, and was chairman of Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign.”
His sole “political” experience, as far as I can see, was as a Dem Party insider. He never held any elected office before becomin governor of Virginia.
I expect that he was placed there for a reason.
Perhaps we are seeing the reason now.
What a dishonest, manipulating scumbag.
Impeach? For provoking civil unrest and then spreading disinformation?
Much worse than Trump, and there is actual evidence in McAuliffe’s case.

Meanwhile 5 eyes Australian Federal Government is collapsing into disrepute as Australians wake up to news a large bunch of lawmakers are dual citizens and are therefore constitutio nally barred from holding office. The government has a one seat majority and it has been relying on constitutional law breaking dual citizens illegally in office to govern. Australia is now governmentless. A constitutional crisis has struck down another Anglosphere stalwart.
Let me guess what other state they mostly owe their alliances to: Iceland!
Howd I do?
Back to the original piece.
This might indeed be the last drop for most all of us, that were holding back, with teeth grinding, the last piece of proof, that it is time. It was time, and time in the past, we should have said our piece back, when it might have been heard – now, we shall have to use another language to communicate.
My glass is overfilleth, oh my lord, to here, and no step further, now, for better or worse, the war of dogs are out the gate…
I will leave it at that.
Not Iceland, a couple of Kiwis, Canadian, British and Italian dual citizens, so far, with more to come.

‘Cos if one thing, they know fershure their time will come sooner or l8r…
My first thoughts when trump made his announcement about the riots and terrorism was wtf. Someone just ran down a bunch of people with car and this zionazi quisling is rattling on about violence on both sides.
Then came trump’s more recent interview with some zionazi fox news jingo. In that he spent a lot of time defending the confederates protesting the statue removal, their goal, not the violence, but only gave a cursory recognition that those opposed to these confederates might have a valid view, as well. The woman murdered was murdered by a confederate imported from out of state.
The confederate in chief spend more time defending the confederates goals than condemning their violence while spending more time condemning the violence of antifa than defending those opposed to the confederates. Furthermore, trump exaggerated the goals of those opposed to the confederate propaganda monuments in a very divisive and zionazi style. IE: trump clearly came down in support of the confederates. This was naturally followed up by the zio-friendlies when they dutifully reinforced trump’s hyperbole about monuments. Obviously pre-planned between both.
One can read what trump said here:
Full transcript: Donald Trump’s press conference defending the Charlottesville rally
https://www.vox.com/2017/8/15/16154028/trump-press-conference-transcript-charlottesville
(As usual with the websayanim responses to comments, they will either distort or ignore material linked and not quoted, so I may have to later quoted the material in full to refute their lies)
Both wings of the zionazi media has been eating up the riot and trump’s deliberately divisive mouthings. This leads me to believe there was a lot of planning ahead of time here. The torch lit nazi March Friday was an obvious provocation to bring an anti nazi response the next day. That was planned. Both the nazi provocateurs and antifa are controlled by zionazi, inc. These are as phony as their predecessors raining “red terror” on Europe in the 1970s and 80s. Trump’s remarks indicate he, or more accurately, his tuppence regime handlers, are in on this psywar op.
Now we have today’s note from trump about a terrorist attack that may have originated in an effort to get all that “bad” image of american confederate terrorism sanitized from people’s minds and get them back on track to the zionazi clash of civilizations. After all, looking too closely at psywar ops can be a problem.
Trump Suggests War Crimes to Combat Terrorism After Barcelona Attack
https://sputniknews.com/news/201708171056555123-trump-study-killing-terrorists-pig/
What trump said is a wet dream to the zionazis. Pure, unadulterated Islamophobic promotion. The zionazi clear channel network of zionazi propagandists (“conservative” talk radio in pindoland) are ecstatic.
The american attack on the Philippines from 1899 to the end of WW1 killed between 250,000 and 750,000 civilians. Remember, the pindo exceptionals think maintaining accurate records of those ‘lesser” peoples they murder is beneath their exceptionalist “dignity”. Letters home by the slaughterers referred to the Philippines people murdered as niggers. In a previous article Auslander seamingly praised the influence of the pindo south east in the u.s. military. Well, one can see very clearly that influence right there. Just as one can see it in custer’s slaughter of people at the Washita river. It, this confederate , influence still there.
Front and centre.
Nothing works behind the bubble shield of the leftosphere.
Not logic, science, philosophy, morality, esthetics, families, economics, politics, societies, nothing.
Everything is distorted by the continous effort to keep reality out of the bubble.
And the energy and wealth consumed by it is sucked directly from us by the power of the state.
I am so fn tired of it, there are no words. Anger? Hate? Rage? Don’t come close to it.
And israelis and their associated colonial detritus wonder why the rest of humanity holds them is such utter and to total contempt.
President Trump is over the Intelligence Community target and taking heavy flak. BOMBS AWAY!
Charlottesville was a setup. Hear an eyewitness account with Bill Still.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrmgazEMvKU
I just watched the video.
I wish Still would provide a transcript of the woman’s statement.
It would be smart if she would make an official statement and at least notarize it or something.
If it is to be taken seriously, which I think it should be.
I am not going to send that video link to my list.
It would just be counterproductive.
Katherine
I also just watched the video.
It just strenghthens my belief, that this was a setup to fuel the anti-Trump emotions. Just as paid thugs were causing mayhem to Trump manifestations in election time.
Though this is nothing new. Richard Nixon already used this tactics, and that is quite some time ago.
Thanks for posting these three PCR articles on Charlottesville. It’s refreshing to read somebody that’s trying to analyze the conflict and think through what’s happening.
In relation to this, I notice that more and more of my American friends are caught up in the idea that Antifa are some kind of guardian angels, protecting them from “evil Nazis”. They actually seem to welcome that Antifa show up and clash with the far rightists.
I hear them express this, and I think: “wait, so you support these guys who believe they are above the rule of law, that they can deny the constitutional rights of others, and wear masks to anonymize acts of violence?”
But then evidently large numbers of Americans have given up on the Constitution, the rule of law, freedom of expression, etc. etc., and they just want violent solutions. Given the corruption at the highest levels of the American regime, I can’t blame them for despairing, but what’s left if you don’t believe these institutions should still be binding?
I can’t see anything coming out of a bunch of zealots fighting each other in the streets, except maybe a faster descent into lawlessness and mass violence.
A good article on The Duran talking about Russia’s dealing with the past. And the way the US is doing so now:
http://theduran.com/the-death-of-a-nation/
”The United States has another great disability, and that is that its intellectual class, or perhaps I should say its semi-intellectual class, has a large contingent of cowards who are too fearful to be truthful.”
The existence of a half-educated ‘semi-intellectual class’ is the salient political/ideological characteristic of the Anglosphere. There will be individual public intellectuals such as Chomsky, Pilger, Pinter (when he was alive) and a few others, but the overwhelming mass of the petit-bourgeoisie serves and supports the power elite and adopts their values and worldview with even greater fervour than the ruling class itself – more Catholic than the Pope. In Orwellian pastiche, these are the outer party who look up to the inner party and Big Brother but despise the lowly ‘proles’ ( beneath them) the deplorables if you like.
This absence off effective opposition tends to turn the heads of both rulers and ruled. They will start to believe all their own bullshit about their greatness, religious purity, exceptionalism and become imbued with a divine mission to remake the world in America’s image, and on the 7th day the Lord rested … and so forth. As Lord Acton once said of untrammeled power: ”Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Turning back to Orwell he noted that such people live ”not far from clinical schizophrenia, living quite happily amid dreams of power and conquest which have no connexion with the physical world.” (See Notes on Nationalism)
When the opposition was eliminated in Germany under the Nazi regime, Hitler and his followers thought it quite a good idea to fight a war simultaneously against the British Empire, the Soviet Union, and the United States and win. Suffice it to say that this idiotic belief didn’t quite pan out as expected. If there had been a genuine democracy there would have been massive opposition to such a course of action and it seems doubtful that such a misconceived foreign policy would ever been carried out. This bears striking similarities with current beltway thinking; namely that the US can fight and win a nuclear war against a Russian-Chinese alliance. What stupendous stupidity is this. It is beyond immoral, it is, as Orwell pointed out, completely demented.
Suffice it to say there is as yet no effective opposition to this lunacy; the liberal class are bought and paid for. They are the purveyors of post-modernity, idenitity politics, liberal utopianism and neo-totalitarianism. Trahison Des Clercs is an apt description of our soi-disant enlightened ones. Where we go from here is anyone’s guess, but it doesn’t look good.
“There will be individual public intellectuals such as Chomsky, Pilger, Pinter (when he was alive) and a few others, but the overwhelming mass of the petit-bourgeoisie serves and supports the power elite and adopts their values and worldview with even greater fervour than the ruling class itself – more Catholic than the Pope.”
Very true — it’s precisely this which totally trashes the myth about Anglo-Saxons (and, more generally, Westerners) as hard-core, rugged individualists dedicated to ‘independent thinking’. Grovelling sycophants enjoying their own cluelessness would be far more apt a description.
In view of the foregoing, the great thing about Soros’s ongoing colour revolution “festivities” in the US is that this time around, the preposterous Western news services have been ordered not to blame the mayhem on any non-Western forces (as usual, MSM consumers don’t care about yesterday’s MSM Party Line where Trump took orders ‘from the Kremlin’, the latter having made him Pindo President in the first place). For all the cretinism of the Western petty bourgeoisie, one cannot help wondering if there isn’t growing unease with the beloved MSM suddenly serving up defamations of the US in general and its President in particular. Whom are the West’s 99% supposed to have any faith in?
“… fight a war simultaneously against the British Empire, the Soviet Union, and the United States and win.”
Considering that the bankster cartel already owned Britain since the Bank of England, created the Bolshevik Revolution which led to the Soviet Union, and owned the US since the Federal Reserve, I’m not sure what choice you would have made…
Keep in mind that the USSR had used the Shelling of Mainila false flag to justify invading Finland. Why would this strategy never be used on Germany…? Even Putin said, “If a fight is inevitable, go and fight first.”
“Suffice it to say there is as yet no effective opposition to this lunacy…”
The Internet and alternative media provide a level of tactics and strategy which did not exist in the last world war. For instance, do you think if Allied troops still suffering from the Great Depression knew Germany opposed the “international clique” responsible for it all, they would still fight for the cartel?
“Soldiers protesting U.S. military strikes against Syria are taking to Facebook to voice their opposition to a war. ‘I didn’t join the Marine Corps to fight for al Qaeda in a Syrian Civil War,’ one Marine in uniform declared, in a message written on a piece of paper he held strategically to block his face and conceal his identity.”
~ “Service members anonymously protest potential war against Syria on Facebook,” Leslie Larson
Note that the East Ghouta chemical attack occurred on August 21, 2013. This article was published September 3. In less than two weeks, this truth-bearing disobedience was readily accessible to anyone in the world with eyes to see it. Those soldiers are part of what snuffed out the 2013 Syria escalation; it’s super effective. That’s why the banksters are trying to neuter alternative media now.
Divide and rule; it worked in Lincoln’s time and is being reprised today.
How about the organizer of the charlottesville protest, Jason Kessler? This ‘former’ leftist was “red-pilled”, in his words, in 20l4. Quite the turnaround in 3 years, eh?
We’re being played, folks. This whole thing is an American Maidan.
The anglo/zionists are in a tail spin. The Charlottesville farce is only the latest example of the propaganda cul de sac. The point that is lost is not that Trump is being vilified but that the zionist propaganda can no longer control the narrative. No matter how many Maiden nazis and gluten free muppets they field in front of the presstitute cameras the story has collapsed.
When Saddam’s statue was toppled in Baghdad in the famous propaganda exercise no one was really fooled and it was easily forgotten – just another non-sequitur image in the fake world of US foreign policy = hegemony = success.
However, in 2017 when the best the zionists have is to topple the relics of the US civil war the effect is to create a reveal. A reveal that nothing makes any sense – the US as an entity no longer makes sense because the last desperate act of the propagandists is to vilify the nation.
The actors and provocateurs get paid – but what about the rest of the nation – they are left hanging with no jobs, no future and certainly no country?…The only next logical step for the zionists is a media black out – their stories cannot hold up. Especially when the anarchist Trump points out the core of the US has always been corrupt – erase George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. And why not Lincoln – he was a Republican.
I see Trump becoming stronger as the zionists self implode – Trump is a symptom of the co-opting of the US as a proxy state of zionism. The problem for the oligarchy is that the symptoms are so acute that they can no longer be hidden from US people. Trump knows this and is riding it out.
“No experiment can be more interesting than that we are now trying, and which we trust will end in establishing the fact, that man may be governed by reason and truth. Our first object should therefore be, to leave open to him all the avenues to truth. The most effectual hitherto found, is the freedom of the press. It is, therefore, the first shut up by those who fear the investigation of their actions.”
~ President Thomas Jefferson, 1804
So yeah, when it comes to guys like Jefferson, particularly since he also opposed debt-based money, the banksters need to throw him down a memory hole…
What is really frightening is that America faces very real urgent challenges at home and abroad with probably the worst leadership in its history and the worst leadership of any developed country in the world.
It may be worth enumerating some of these challenges.
A deeply divided polarised society characterised by racial conflict, economic decline, ballooning debt, the prospect of financial collapse with various debts and liabilities totalling well over $200 trillion, increasing militarism in all areas of public life, a yawning gap between rich and poor, failure to provide for the basic needs of the population, dysfunctional and discredited corrupt political system for which support/ tolerance is dwindling, growing repression and mass surveillance, shredding of civil liberties, politicised justice system, open use of torture…………to name but a few.
Abroad – a bloated and ineffectual sprawling military octopus costing more than the armed forces of the rest of the planet combined. Annual budget in excess of $1 trillion. Coupled with declining actual military, economic and political power. Deliberate hostility towards and alienation of very powerful nations, Russia and China, and less powerful nations, Iran, Venezuela, N. Korea and others, and even formerly close allies, which refuse to subordinate their interests to those of the US. Waging war in 7 countries simultaneously whilst threatening further multiple conflicts, absorbing most US energies whilst neglecting crucial domestic issues. Declining prestige and influence with former crucial allies, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, EU, S. Korea, and others. Manufactured crises and confrontations in Eastern Europe, S. China Sea, Korea, Iran, Middle East, Venezuela. The whole world increasingly turbulent and unstable.
In these circumstances, exceptional leadership is required. At the very least, leadership that is rational and coherent is essential. Instead all the organs of the state are competing power centres fighting one another like rats in a sack without effective executive authority. This predates Trump and was a feature of the Obama regime. Military, CIA, State Department, various Deep State actors independently formed and pursued mutually contradictory policies resulting in complete incoherence, with other state and non state actors moving in to fill the vacuum. It is extremely difficult to articulate any rational foreign policy objectives, much less implement them. This structure of government is reminiscent of the administrative chaos of Nazi Germany at its most dysfunctional. As a result, most US strength, military, economic, financial political, is dissipated without any positive outcomes.
