In his 1928 landmark book Propaganda, public relations pioneer and Goebbelsian trailblazer Eddie Bernays offered what amounts to a disingenuous assertion at best:
“It is important that any effort to influence or effect the American public that is not in the public interest be killed by the light of pitiless publicity and analysis.”
Immediately, the statement begs two questions:
- What if the American public decides at the ballot box that what passes for the prevailing public interest (really a manufactured imposition) runs counter to its own version of said interest?
- Who orchestrates the “pitiless publicity” aimed at killing competing visions of the “public interest” and by what authority do they undertake this mission?
Bernays references the ‘who’ elsewhere, albeit vaguely as, “…invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions… and shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”
Conceivably a tug of war could ensue between two competing visions of the public interest; one vision expressed at the ballot box in the manner of direct democracy and the other emanating top-down from managed democracy’s “invisible rulers”.
For Bernays such a conflict would not represent an intractable impasse so much as a cue for redoubling the, “conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses”. After all, only intensified propagandizing efforts can correct the People’s ill-informed sense of the public interest. Undemocratic manipulation is, “an important element in democratic society” under Bernays’ weirdly circular formulation.
Of course self-determination is neither a path to infallibility nor a vaccine against public policy blunders. Direct Democracy merely makes the People the masters of their own fate, which is equally to say the captains of their own errors.
Bernays would have been better to say manipulation is a vital facet of a smoothly running Republic or Oligarchy, not so much a Democracy. His paternalistic subtext clearly reflects the former. Indeed another name for Managed Democracy is Republicanism (not to be confused with the political party of the same name).
A rough but effective analogy can be drawn from what serve normally as macroeconomic terms used to describe two varieties of inflation: Cost-Push and Demand-Pull. For an explanation of the traditional economic context of the terms, see here.
Applied to political narrative formation, Push is the bottom-up, propulsive force of the Will of the People. While Pull is the manipulative, diversionary desires of the Elite. Push is hard knocks and demonstrable scrapes. Pull is consciously engineered wishfulness harnessed to oligarchic solipsism, Empire objectives and atrophying noblesse oblige.
Popular consent should be organically derived and not subject to extrinsic manufacturing at all. Nor should its germination process be invaded by an externally fashioned agenda. The People should be the authors of their own consciousness. That’s the ideal anyway.
The Culture Industry’s mandate is steeped, from the outset, in inauthenticity and misdirection; or, as Theodor Adorno insisted, structurally inescapable insincerity. Through the endless propagation of false consciousness, Media is charged with convincing the People that the Pull is actually the Push. Sustaining this inversion has become a difficult task.
The Pull techniques are many and varied. Here are but a few:
The last chart addresses Russophobia. Anyone who’s walked past an American TV over the last two years can attest to a media obsession bordering on the manic; an intensity not shared by (nor successfully seeded within) the American public as evidenced by a July 2018 Gallup poll showing concern about Russia to be immeasurably unimportant (the issue garnered an * meaning less than 1%).
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein fed the sui generis racialist fires when he referred with casual malice to The Russians (wink-wink-nudge-nudge) in his February 16th indictment press conference for Concord Management officials who happened to be Russian nationals with no discernible state actor affiliation.
The farcical social media trolling charges relate to “spread[ing] distrust towards the candidates and the political system in general”, as if the American populace wasn’t already immersed in boatloads of domestically-inspired skepticism. Chances are slim the politically-motivated indictments (announced on a Friday in part to the get the Parkland, Florida shootings off the front page) will ever come to trial despite Concord’s heroic efforts to have their day in court (see 3:48 here).
Surely it surprises no one that Putin is simply too busy to plot subterfuge at every table of every Russian boardroom engaged in Stateside business. Attempting to dampen Western media’s impression of his fearsome omniscience, the Russian President had this to say at the Jul 16, 2018 Summit Joint Press Conference:
Today’s Russophobic dog whistles recall John Maynard Keynes’ 1932 assertion that Bolshevism sprang from, “some beastliness in the Russian nature”. Far from dispelling these beastly stereotypes, CNN reinforces them nightly for the ‘higher dual purpose’ of de-legitimizing the Trump Presidency and positioning Russia as the Military Industrial Complex’ Enemy of Requisite Budgetary Scale.
Attorney Alan Dershowitz has routinely decried the ACLU’s MIA status throughout the Trump Russia witch-hunt. The same can be said of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) whose charter states: “We fight anti-Semitism and all forms of hate.” We’re familiar with battles waged on behalf of the former, less so the latter. Here’s an opportune chance to engage on behalf of another besieged group.
Russian-Americans comprise 3.13 million people, a sizable population by any metric. Surely Russophobia (a dark retread of Nazism’s Anti-Slavism) warrants urgent attention. Blessed be the stoic forbearance of our Russian neighbors. One hopes it is a circumspection that will continue to go unpunished, though the Japanese and German internment camps that dotted WW2 America hardly inspire confidence.
Since at least Hillary Clinton’s Putin = Hitler equivalence-setting, the public consciousness has been in the grips of determined preparatory spadework for war with Russia. Frankly, the People are to be applauded for enduring the last two years of cognitive carpet-bombing with their disinterest and skepticism intact. Alas this failed impartation will not derail WW3. Rather it will cause the war to break out preemptively without the embedded pretext of settled consent. What cannot be consented to will occur nonetheless, leaving ‘new realities’ to compel the appropriate consent post-factum, that is, in a manner analogous to journalist Ron Suskind’s recounting of a 2004 quote attributed to Karl Rove:
“We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors…and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.”
As we see in Syria and elsewhere this authorial prerogative is increasingly being shared by Russia in either a nascent reemergence of bipolarity or an interim way-station towards a multi-polar actor ensemble.
Another Pull variant is, as Nancy Pelosi so helpfully anatomized for us, the wrap-up smear. This is the technique of creating a false set of facts (the smear), “merchandising” the false fact pattern to the Media, then wrapping the smeared individual in the ensuing tar-and-feathery media glare until the former stops beating his or her spouse lately.
Of course the ensnared victim is obliged to continually reference the false facts if only to mount a self-defense. Perversely, righteous denial further reinforces the falsehoods through repetition. There is, as they say, no such thing as bad publicity if the purpose is to keep one’s name front-and-center, which in the case of a wrap-up smear, it most surely isn’t.
Again, the purpose is to pull the media consumer towards a desired narrative based on falsity and distortion. The news-maker advantages his or her podium to initiate news that only becomes news by virtue of a bully pulpit (one of the top-down trappings of power), and not by the inherent truth-value of ‘facts-on-the-ground’. Putin and Trump, the world’s most potent nationalists, are no strangers to being wrapped in deceptive, pejorative garb.
A crucial point to note is that both leaders enjoy the shared contempt of the globalists. Putin’s favorability among Americans has been engineered down to 16%, 9% among collusion-besotted Democrats. Thus, while Russia is not a front-burner issue in US households, the Mackinder-MIC catastrophe of a US-Russia rapprochement is rendered all but verboten by these figures as detente would confirm extortioned compromise.
Viewed in this perma-war context, the establishment palpitations caused by Trump ‘being left alone’ with fellow loose cannon Putin make perfect, twisted sense. Suppose a powerful personal chemistry had erupted into a sudden outbreak of peaceful intentions between the two unchaperoned leaders? The prospects for WW3 might have lain in shards. Summit? What Summit? It’s practically been erased from the annals of geopolitics as was the proposed follow-on Summit in Washington. All that can be hoped for are dashed-off corridor meetings at future co-attended events.
Alas, this shell-game is breaking down in the Trump Era. Fake News is a more tactile, street-level term for false consciousness propagation. There’s little doubt Trump has a gift for branding.
The President is routinely accused of thinking in 220-character Twitter bytes, giving way to charges of truncated intelligence. There may be other reasons to doubt his intelligence. With Twitter, he is fulfilling the greater need of bypassing the Media filter for a communication path more consistent with the needs of direct democracy. The truncation is a non-rescindable feature of the Twitter platform itself.
The current Push-Pull narrative divergence –which has the opinion-shapers in conniptions– is on stark display in the recent Gallup vs. Media Research Center numbers (graphic at the bottom of this post). Surely 92% negative coverage evidences Bernay’s “pitiless publicity”.
Even after the desperate steps taken to shut down alt-media (and yes, desperate is the term), the divergence grows. The Media responds with ever more dislocating and lurid material. Bombs –or at least clocks resembling bombs– appear on Democrats’ doorsteps with eerie synchronicity.
A recursive self-consciousness has now infiltrated the system contributing further noise, not unlike how the pings of a too-high-octane fuel destroy the kayfabe experience (instilled by the car salesman) of a frictionless magic carpet-ride. The clunky mechanics of the process overwhelm the message itself.
The collective wisdom of the People has fully determined their passenger status in a vehicle driven by a malevolent chauffeur. Managed Democracy will be hard-pressed to recover their prior innocence.
The divergence also implodes the notion that the media is in any way reflective of the population it claims to derive its news from. Clearly the reportage has become prescriptive which is to say, not reportage at all. We’re not happy with the facts where we find them. Thus we will be moving them over here instead, beneath the canopy of our desired narrative.
The breakdown of the Pull hasn’t stopped the usual talking heads from pushing endlessly on strings deemed mission-critical by their managers. Like deer trapped in the klieg lights of an indiscernible new reality, they fumble along, in thrall to a dark comedy that takes its cues from absurd representations of untenable narratives.
Though opinions on Trump differ sharply, few can dispute his disruptive role in fomenting managed democracy’s narrative crisis, and for putting back onto its heels a myth-making prowess whose influence up until now had been considered unassailable.
Why might Trump be an authentic change agent, albeit one with a high probability of derailment or self-betrayal? Because the bifurcating narratives cannot be denied. If the divergence is real, the systemic stress must be equally real. Why, one has to ask, does the corporate press protesteth so much? Therein lies a telling litmus.
There’s a tendency to forget Trump’s formal political career is less than two years old and that he contends against a hostile, entrenched security-media complex seventy years in the making. Whether he is already capitulating to insuperable neoconservative power centers or is engaging in tactical ducks-and-feints cannot be confirmed either way. His post-midterm demeanor, and inevitable staffing changes, will reveal much. A verdict today is premature.
For the moment, we applaud small mercies and encouraging signs…
A breakaway bloc now exists in America along the lines of the red pill, blue pill demarcation. Many have been ‘dispelled’. Let us hope more can Push away from the master’s table forever.
Here is an article that looks at the state of electoral integrity in the United States on a nationwide basis and by comparing integrity on a state by state basis:
https://viableopposition.blogspot.com/2018/10/electoral-integrity-in-united-states.html
While Washington loves to tout its model of democracy as the model that should be emulated by the rest of the world, in fact, all is not well in the state of the world’s most powerful “democracy”.
Sally, never was. Just look at political history from say 1945. Not that I am pushing Communism, but witch hunt against the Communists. Making the party illegal. Constant demonizing, which in the end ended up all the American Communists going underground and infiltrating actually both major parties, but Democrats in general. Eventually, from the underground all the crypto-commies pushed the Globalism on the people. But the funny thing is, while some things speak volumes of crypto-communism, other things show totally brutal inhumane system, which in short can be called “privatization” of anything that is in sight and major stupifying of the population.
Oh yes, another thing, as one Greek layer said (I said it many times myself): “Extensive use of two methods:
1. Keeping the population in constant fear – Like “we can’t go back to Drachma because the world is going to collapse”
2. Making the population feel good by telling them all kinds of BS, like “we spy on you for your protection”.
All you have to do is watch TV show like “Blindspot”, an excellent example. It also uses, on occasion “Bad Ruskies”. Wasn’t Jane trained by the bad Russians? Oh yes, her presumable Russian speaking skills are pathetically outrageous.
BTW, excellent article.
The biggest problem with American elections is that the votes are counted in secret and then the people are just supposed to believe the results. Apparently the logic is supposed to be that the votes are counted in secret by computers, and of course, computers never make mistakes.
Consider this simple line of computer code.
If Vote=A, then TotalB = TotalB + 1
Or, in plain english, it is of course simple to say that if a vote is cast for candidate A, then increase Candidate B’s total by one.
Somehow, the computer code that records votes and the computer code that totals the votes are all considered to be proprietary corporate secrets that cannot be revealed.
I remember after the Bush 5 to 4 victory over Gore, someone did a story on how English elections are handled. At the end of the day, when the polls close, the paper ballots are counted publicly at the precinct, in front of representatives of the parties and I believe it was open to the public.
Notice the very large difference with an American election where citizens go and vote, then simply go home to await the corporate news telling us how the corporate computers tallied the votes and who won. Two unspoken assumptions are that computers can’t be programmed to fiddle with the results, and corporations never lie.
Fox,
This is a good example. The truth about “miscounting” Gore’s votes came out at a later time and nobody challenged Bush, while right now Trump is being “molested” everyday since the elections.
The Swedish electoral system is even more of a farce. People have to pick a card from their favourite party and put it in a box – in plain view of all present. Couple that with the Swedes’ inherent conservatism and desire to do the “accepted” thing and you can imagine how skewed the result is.
Some democracy!
Almost everyone eg the Pentagon, the Republicans, the UK ruling elite, Israel, the Jewish sayanim Fifth Columns and groups like AIPAC, meddle in US politics. But not Russia, in contrast to the tens of billions expended by the USA to support Quislings like the cirrhotic traitor, Yeltsin. No country in history has interfered more often and more maliciously in the affairs of other States than the USA. The hypocrisy goes far beyond the monumental, and into realms of pure insanity.
This article relies heavily on graphics from an outfit called Media Research Center. I’d never heard of them before, so I went and took a look. They have a webpage that is strongly, strongly, strongly tilted to the right. Their front page stories are about the evil migrant caravan who burned down some Mexican facility, evil Liberals who hate White Men, evil Liberal activists, and an attack on the evil liberals at the now corporate owned Ben n Jerry’s ice cream. Etc.
There is no way in heck anyone could look at that webpage and believe that this is not a very partisan and right-wing tilted organization. Which makes any data they produce highly suspect. Not because it is right-wing, but because they clearly have a tilt and a spin that they are promoting. This makes an article that appears to rely solely on the output of this very biased source very suspect in itself.
Ah, I believe The Donald calls it “fake news” which may work better for him if he calls it “flake opinions”, for at the end of the day that’s what all media is, slanted one way or the other.
That’s a reasonable charge, Anon. May we swap the ’empirical’ then for the anecdotal?
I don’t know if you’ve spent the balance of your time in America the last two years but, subjectively, the anti-Trump, Russophobic media tropes have been unrelenting and massively skewed. I urge other American-based spectators to challenge that impression.
Article also uses the alphabet…a Jewish invention! Gasp!
Seriously, if one refuses to use logic, then one is left with delusions and mythic stories…
Pity…was it the famous Quail who told us what a shame it is to be wasted by brains…or whatever?
Name calling tells us more about the speaker than about the named, eh?
Except phonological writing appeared in a subset of the Aegyptian writing system, from which the Phoenician (not Hebraic) writing system evolved as the earliest known alphabet.
Jean,
Correction, it was not Egyptian the official story is that was Cretan Linear B that was used, but actually neither is true. The true story is, that Original Phoenicians were Greeks, and Kadmos (who was a Greek) their king brought Greek letters to Phoenicia (The name comes from Phoenix red bird of fire in Greek mythology). The reason why I am not saying Greek alphabet, is because in Greek the word alphabet defines single sounds, while Linear, Phoenician and others did not. If you look at those writings the symbols never meant one precisely sound as it the case with Greek Alphabet. BTW, Greek alphabet existed no less than 7000BC.
Here is one figurine from Sparta Dated at 6500BC with letters (Α-alpha Λ-lambda), which in short represented the name of Region, as Spartans had Λ-lambda on their shields for Lakedemon (the name of the region)
From an Philology prof (she explains the differences, sorry in Greek, but you can look at the letters):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOZ0OjvoCUE
This is a beauty, it talks about Phoenicia (again in Greek, but worth it, as he talks about the purposely spreading of BS against Greek alphabet):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLBWugmi3lQ
Sorry, it took me little time to find the video about Sparta and the figurine:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVGfeXggFPA
At 6:55 Lekakis shows the figurine from 6500BC and she has inscribed letters on her thighs.
Why Lambda and Alpha? They also used short name for their region and it was Lakonia, hence the letters Lambda and Alpha on her thighs.
Oh yes, the city Niece in France (all of the south actually) was their colony in ancient times, they have a city which bears that name.

Mr Anglo economist Keynes said “some beastliness in the Russian nature”. There you have it- same genocidal hatred of Russians that Nazi’s had. Of course it was not even Slavs who set Bolshevism in motion- it was a certain other people that Solzhenitzyn wrote about in Two Hundred Years Together, who worked in alliance with the freemasonic German Kaiser to bring down the Tsar and remove Russia from the war, sending Lenin in a special train from Switzerland to Russia. USA and UK banks gave big loans in the early years of both USSR and Nazi Germany. They spread chaos over the world and now its their Media that poisons most people. So long as people keep watching tv and reading newpapers it will be like this. Russia Today and Sputnik are hardly challenging them, its mostly just junk about bikini girls, memes, bitcoin and other nonsense, you will not learn anything about Russian life on RT because most of the people working there seem to be non-russian Americans.
A bikini may house a beautiful female form with a better mind than many a man’s……or it may house a bimbo airhead whose expiration date is very close at hand, in a short number of years………
Bitcoin is a very poorly understood by most persons simply because they don’t know what they don’t know (Like, “What’s in the MIND of that young curvy female on the beach or poolside?”) nor do the wish to know what they don’t know about a new invention (blockchain technology) that they will soon be kicking themselves for having no desire whatsoever to comprehend, because it “just isn’t ME”….and they are self-satisfied that they know enough already and can’t be bothered with investigating anything new.
That attitude might be a mistake because while neither the airhead nor the doctorate candidate in the bikini is very much like a man…….. getting acquainted with the latter might be a very worthwhile thing to do.
Prejudices in either case (BTC or Bi-Ki-Ni) can lead to analogous and unfortunate forms of impoverishment. .
Otherwise, I think the article is a good one, and other than this observation about you last sentence, your comment is a pretty good one as well.

Anyone have any idea who the author of this piece is? Doesn’t sound like The Saker. Sounds a little more like Scott Humor, but its English is written a little too cleanly to be him. I wonder why this blog can’t put a prominent by-line at the beginning (or end) of every post?
Sorry, didn’t see the obscure “TAGGED” when looking for a byline. (and don’t think the ‘big head’ author pix was there earlier (where I’d know at least what the author looked like))
“Global Warming” is a post nuclear apocalypse survival strategy.
“They” think to warm up the bio-geo-sphere so that the period of nuclear winter following the large scale nuclear engagement is shortened by the globally warmed stored heat.
Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Chernobyl, Fukushima…prove things may continue after an event. There are buildings in Taiwan constructed with radioactive steel sourced from USSR, but donated by China to Taiwan. There are two such facilities. Residents, some 23,000 in all, are daily exposed to what are considered extremely high level of radiation and yet have only 3% of the occurrence of many immunological diseases. The presumed mastery of the engineering challenges posed by Fukushima incident combined with the surge in robotics gives “them” hope the damage to nuclear reactors world wide will be manageable…contained.
Thermo-nuclear war will be several orders of magnitude worse than Chernobyl and Fukushima combined.
You there Mulga, this is the Maluka, of the Never Never.
Yes, nuclear war will be many times worse than what we have seen from the few incidents mentioned BUT dearest Mulga the earth has seen something like 600 air burst nuclear bomb tests. Another 600 – 2000 might be liveable. Especially if there remain only a hundred to a billion living souls upon this earth. Temperatures on current trajectories will exceed 7 degrees C. There are grounds for the conjecture “they” intend to save an earth for “themselves” by throwing the globe into a nuclear winter of say 3 years duration at the temperate zone and whilst variously wiping out one in ten humans to enforce thereby a sustainable relationship with the earth, going forward.
It is not simply detonations – which for scientific purposes are seldom tested over real cities…(well twice, ok?)
It is the fires and the smoke from hundreds of burning cities and then burning forests (trees tend to die from intense radiation, and few if any effective fire-brigades would operate) – fires that would burn for months or years…
Of course the economy would stop, and hunger would rise in hours as everything people need or think they need would be somewhere else…and money worthless.
I have read that a total of 1.5 MT over cities (say 200 kt each over say 8 cities…)…is enough to take us over into the abyss… Maybe so…
Nukewinter follows the smoke, the radiation is simply a lagniappe for the special occasion…
Precisely. The nuclear tests were invariably in deserts or deserted islands. Thermo-nuclear war will be another thing entirely, and will destroy numerous nuclear power plants to boot.
Name Check.

The extent of “irregularities” in Nth “election” varies in inverse proportion to the degree of pleasure the Power Elite derive from the result.
Lone gunmen arise (always sui generis), also in such inverse proportion to satisfactory election results.
The absurd conclusion is sometimes stated as “If voting mattered they wouldn’t let us do it”.
That’s changing.
Today I received a letter, addressed by hand from a Cristopher Harris in Manteca California.
The Letterhead says: “VOTE FORWARD”
Dear Mr. …then my last name written in in ink:
[I have pledged to vote in every election, because] typed, then handwritten:
“I want to honor all those who’ve served to protect our rights, including to vote.”
then printed:
“There’s an extremely important election on Tuesday November 6, 2018. Will you please join me in casting a ballot?…..in bold and:
I am not asking you to vote for particular candidates, only to be a voter…….”
………..then end with “Visit votefwd.org/vote” which asked for a code (use mine 8Q4355) that opnes a page with a bar for inputting registered voter address and another “Find Your Polling Place”
To my surprise my polling place had changed…so now I am ready to not fumble around on Nov 6 showing up at the last polling place I went to, instead of the new polling place. And then there is a big green bar that says:
TWEET ABOUT YOUR PLAN TO VOTE which I can’t do since I am not a bird and finally a third green bar that says:
SEND A “PLEASE VOTE” LETTERs OF YOUR OWN
Since a guy in Manteca (means “lard” in Spanish….some pig raising there at one time, I reckon…) got a letter and sent at least one, I figure I can do the same with maybe …..5.
Another way of voting, of course, is with your remote control, clicking the Power Button OFF. Permanently.
This video might inspire a few more people to do that:

Donald Trump is DONE! The Beginning of the End
These domestic changes internal to the United States are just a small part of what I have lately been referring to around these parts as The Global Mass Strike In Rising Consciousness….
Since I got a Q in my VoteForward code and for better or for worse (LOL) Q is part of all this…. I’ll share here the “Q Song” posted in the Cafe several days ago:
https://youtu.be/gJCIMYd23dY
Oh by the way, Neon Revolt was wrong (and now admits it) in his forecast of Q’s reappearance after “going dark” and disappearing Oct 9…..) in predicting Q would reappear, because of the Hatch Act limiting efforts to influence voting in US Elections. on November 9 and reveal who Q is 11/11/2018 and spells out the surprise reemergence of Q in this short article, since Q reappeared with 3 posts a week earlier than Neon had forecast:
https://www.neonrevolt.com/2018/11/02/the-unexpected-return-of-qanon-newq-greatawakening-neonrevolt/
Which contains this Campaign Trail clip I would sardonically title: “Can Brainwashed PINDOS Be Redeemed?”
We shall see.
If they can’t then it is quite possible that the Canadian Millenial creator of the Q Song will get indicted for Influencing the US Elections…and Collusion….by the Queen herself.
If you’re familiar with the work of John Taylor Gatto, you’d know that the Rockefellers deliberately dumbed down the American educational system over 100 years ago. Around the same time, the Fed was established. Wink!Wink!

Only nuclear arsenal is guardian of Russia. And strong Army, Navy and Air forces.
Without this, Russia would be wiped out from the face of Earth and Russian people exterminated to the very last of them.
This diabolic and demonic hatred toward Russia among western and especially anglo-saxon elites is historic phenomenon. They plan genocide against Russian people but still do not know how to achieve this goal.
I do not what Russians generally think but Russian leaders must every day warn people about this.
Thank you folks for the very astute comments as usual. My intent here was to convey to Saker’s significant international audience just how immersive and relentless the anti-Trump narrative is here in the States, as that may not be widely appreciated overseas.
Just today the Rasmussen poll shows Trump’s job approval rating at 51%. So my embedded divergence chart has already been vastly exceeded. The Media Research Center has, over the last 2 years, consistently rated corporate media coverage at 90-93% negative-Trump. Yes, it is a conservative watchdog group. I happen to ratify the lop-sidedness they are observing
We should all take heart that half of Americans have managed to withstand an unprecedented propaganda barrage. In fact the only figure more vilified in the Corporate Media than Trump is Vladimir Putin himself.
It’s the specter of a trade-centric Washington-Berlin-Moscow-Beijing axis that keeps the CFR up at night. My best advice for all of us is to trust but verify, and to temper Trump antipathies pending further outcome.
Alas, lockstep Zionist fealty is a third rail of American politics and may yet overwhelm Trump’s natural desire for rapprochement with other power centers. We should understand there are certain steps he may wish to take that would ensure his demise in 24 hours or less.
He’s a deal-maker by instinct, not a Great Game strategist. But he doesn’t control the military industrial complex. He merely rides atop it with titular authority at best. Pray for Trump with one eye open. The alternatives are far worse. -FSD
