However, Trump thinks it did work. He thinks his bluff is what caused Kim to come to the bargaining table, so Trump wants to try it again with VVP. Trump is in for a rude awakening, I’m afraid.
I don’t think Trump was ever stupid enough to think such bluff would work with VVP, that’s why I classify the phenomenon as “bluff for internal public”. It doesn’t match any rational criterion other than such.
“In case of a “missile hit”, I was told that US & EU confirmed to #Russia that there is no intention to hit any Russian military facility/deployment & that US & allies will coordinate any act of war on #Syria if decided.
This means Russia-Damascus will be informed before hand.”
The Americans would be wide open to someone shaving and dressing up some dead terrorist bodies from E. Ghouta in Russian uniforms and then the Russians screaming about the attrocity that has just been committed. And then perhaps blowing up something like the Al-Tanf base in retribution for the ‘dead Russians.’
Trump should have stuck with pro wrestling. He’s way out of his league now.
Something I saw that’s in line with that…. (Sorry, don’t remember the links.)
Damascus is moving airplanes to Russian bases and Russia is putting a bomber/s at the Iranian airbase…..
It will be a pity if the US strikes Syria with no retaliation again because it means they will do it again … and again … and again. IOW.,It means … Syrians will keep dying to make Trump look presidential. Rather horrifying that this has become “the norm of our times….”
Any act of war without UNSC approval is the Supreme Crime under International Law, that of aggression. You will have noted that not one Western fakestream media presstitute vermin dares to mention that inconvenient fact. For a blatantly phony ‘gas attack’, staged by insanely Evil jihadist killers and long predicted for just this time, ALL humanity is put in deadly danger, yet not one of these filthy fakestream media scum breaks ranks from the lying hysteria. Has there ever been a cadre of hypocrites, liars and hate-mongers more foul than these?
And why should the Russians belief the insane Yanks in this situation ?
If the radar stations detect hundreds of incoming cruise missile they have only a few minutes to react.
So how can the now, what are the real targets of the missiles ?
The yanks played so often dirty, that the Russian would surely also have to consider this “don’t worry, this is just a show, we won’t hit you” could be a trap.
And there is the problem of this incredible mess: The situation has escalated so far, that every single misinterpretation of the other side could led to WW3. This is completely insane
If the US launches 100s of missiles at once, that is
Putin’s definition of conventional war and he will
respond with a nuclear strike against nuclear
bases in North America and near Russia.
How many times has Putin said he will not fight a
conventional war and will escalate one to de-escalate
it? I assume you all know what he meant by that.
And tell me why the US would launch 100s of missiles
at Syria when they know the the Russians will respond
with a nuclear first strike?
Why wouldn’t the US launch a nuclear first strike
themselves and beat Russia to the Punch?
After reading a few hundred comments on different web sites, most of which express a mixture of anger and horror at this tweet, I’m going to go out on a limb and venture that this is Trump-style brinksmanship.
It seems likely that there are some ongoing, private conversations between the major stakeholders, in which various aspects of this conflict are being discussed and possibly negotiated.
In this context, the effect of Trump’s language is to make people feel he’s right on the edge or in fact already completely unhinged. Naturally, this rattles everyone and — he believes, at least — gains him some leverage in the negotiations.
This doesn’t make his approach any less crazy, but perhaps (I hope, at least) there is a method to the madness.
No-Trump, like his class and his country, and the Western elites as a whole, and their controllers the Zionazis are mad, bad and dangerous to share a planet with. These Evil swine were always going to end humanity some time or other, and it looks very much like this is it. I mean-Trump, Micron, May, Netanyahoo, the Sordid Arabians, Qatar, the BBC, the Fraudian etc. Are any of these deserving of anything but life at hard labour without parole, then the obliteration of their names from history?
That ‘Tweet’, the moronic inferno’s favourite means to pithily encapsulate its cretinous viciousness, is that of a deranged and monstrous imbecile. But that, of course, is the very epitome of Homo americanus.
If Russia had said this.. usa would have pressed the red button immediately….so as usa has said this and eg Macron saying be kind to us Russia we really are trying our best to miss your important bits(well that is what we are saying hey but no guarantees that is collateral damage oops sorry did not mean it really ..but…)…so…Russian fleet is in Med 15 ships doing exercises. ..I just wonder what their orders are- to be prepared for anything and the command of the President presumably..any signs of urgent Russian Security Council meetings…Shoigu recalled from a night at the theatre ….
Well, somebody said it. The messages on the ‘real’ Trump twitter account have been so inconsistant of late that I’d guess that at least some of them come from staffers. Although, this is just moronic enough to have the RealDonaldTrump feel to it.
A new American invention, the “nice” missile. Sounds like something Douglass Adams would have come up with. The missile that says “have a nice day!” just before it explodes and kills you and your family.
‘new’ missiles? Does that mean newly off the production line that cranks out the same 1980’s model tomahawks?
And I don’t think the US has fired off a ‘dumb’ missiles since Vietnam, or perhaps Serbia. The Merchants of Death sell the ‘smart’ missiles for much bigger profits, so these days the US doesn’t blow up a garbage dump without wasting many milliions of dollars of ‘smart’ missiles.
+1 “just moronic enough to have the RealDonaldTrump feel to it”
I gather “new and ‘smart'” is a boast implying that the US now has some kind of improved cruise missile (Tomahawk with patched software?) that can’t be felled as easily by Russian ECM. Of course, the proof is in the pudding.
“Isengard swears to shoots down any and all firey rocks flung at Moria! Gets ready Isengard, because Sméagol hikes up loincloth! Catapults comes fast, nice and hot and “tricksy!” You shouldn’t be friends with Balrog Taming Orc who kills beings and enjoys it whole!”
Has Mr. Trump even given a serious thought or examination as to what happened in Syria? It is very well established that the mercenary and murderous groups who have been destroying Syria are armed and funded by the U.S. and their partners. If anyone gas attacked innocent people in Syria it was done by murderers sent by the U.S. And now you will show your superior morality in retribution for this animalistic act by blowing men, women, and children to bits?
Mr. Trump, you now stand, facing the door leading away from the heavenly city into eternal darkness for no unrepentant fornicator, liar and murderer can dwell in the holy city. This is going to be on you!
Craig, you appear to have missed the phase transition among the Western Zionazi elites and their Sabbat Goy stooges like May, Micron and Trump, from plain, effective. Evil, that had kept the Real Evil Empire ticking along in one form or another for hundreds of years, to rank, omnicidal, hysterical insanity. It is hard to pick the precise time this occurred, but it’s here, right now, and the symptoms are multitudinous.
May, an Evil, vicious, sadistic incompetent (in my opinion at least)gets in a hole with Brexit and the rise of Corbyn, so she is given two weapons to use to rescue herself. The vicious attack on Corbyn and Labour by the Tories, the UK media sewer, and Rightwing, Zionazi, Jews based on almost totally fraudulent accusations of ‘antisemitism’, a campaign of still mounting hysteria in the face of which Corbyn is frozen with cowardice. And she either fakes the attack herself, or allows others to do it, in the Skripal Affair, then herself launches into an hysterical frenzy of lies, threats and accusations without evidence, against a country that could, if attacked, vapourise her ‘septic isle’. This is rank, deranged, Evil, and it is written all over the twisted prune of her face.
Micron is a Zionazi creation which takes its orders from CRIF, which, like all the Zionazi organs, is rigid with incandescent rage that Syria still survives, hence his dirty and genocidal determination to serve his Masters by Libyafying the country. Another monster of murderous Evil, but that’s how the Zionazis like their Sabbat Goyim.
And Trump, the deranged carnie huckster, Mr. America personified. A billion years of evolution and the unlucky mutation to ‘higher intelligence’ has produced this ‘creature’, to drive humanity to Hell. And he is just the most tragi-comic actor in the farce of ‘Exceptionalism’. Surrounding him in Thanatopolis DC are a rogues’ gallery of psychos and coward killers who would remind one of Hitler’s acolytes, but that they lack the charm and intelligence of that group.
Well, I think Twitter as the commercial company and conduit of that fake warmongering crap should be held to account and suspend the said ‘real’ author forthwith.
Now, I’m not a twitter user but I’m guessing the rules of use that all registered users would include NOT inciting WW3 on false pretenses — and use of moderate and respectful language.
The ‘Real Donald’ needs to be suspended from this public social media and restricted to official US Government communication channels run by adults in the room.
The Russians let him improve his tough image as he tried to resist the neocons coup at the beginning of his presidency, and answered his first racketeering mildly. Now he thinks the same ll happen again. I do not think he is bluffing – the Russian reasonable behaviour has it’s cost, and that is encouraging this idiot.
Well guys I’m an American and I voted for Trump and I can tell you this man is a liar and has lied to the American people. He is being controlled and manipulated by the same deep state that has been controlling this country for a long time. His actions and the actions of my country are not representative of the people. Trump has deceived all of us that were looking for real change and a draining of the swamp. I stand in solidarity with Russia and the Russian people. Why my country refuses to align itself with the last great white Christian superpower on Earth and instead befriend and support fundamentally Muslim monarchies like Saudi Arabia is telling and illustrates just who controls the levers of American government. Certainly, not the American people anymore. While many Americans are in their brain dead stupor and are caught up in the bread and circus that has become American culture not all of us are asleep. I’m fearful of how this will play out and I refuse to support the US presence in Syria. I really hope deep down Russia stands up to the US military in some way and this blows over.
Moreover, I wish Russia would stand up to Turkey as well and Assad would give Erdogan a bloodynose.
Let’s pray for a peaceful resolution to this crisis. Western media is so utterly corrupt on so many levels. The average American has no idea what’s really happening in Syria. They are too concerned with Facebook and political fodder while major war could break out at anytime.
Something has to be done to address this issue. Obviously voting does not matter anymore, so a great start would be if people just stop doing it anymore. Since the faces of the presidents change but the beligerent politics does not, it makes no difference who the president is. The only answer should be massive protests and disobedience – not paying taxes, for example as tax money are spent on killing other people in the name of the so called democracy..I know, it is not going to happen as a big part of the average americans are zombified (this is applicable to most countries, not only America, but America poses the most serious threat to world peace in my opinion), but we (the average people, not only americans) need a revolution. Sometimes I actually hope for a major financial crisis (way bigger than 2008) as in my opinion this is the only way to wake up the zombies. People are normally egoistic and quite often ignorant towards other people’s issues. If, however, their own interests are at risk, they might wake up.
“Something has to be done to address this issue. Obviously voting does not matter anymore”
Voting is part of the solution, but won’t help in the immediate future.
The Russians really stink at propaganda and psyops. Twitter makes such even easier, and costs nothing, so I have to wonder what their excuse is. I get it that their government people are very professional, and Putin is fond of proper adherence to international law. Howerver, on the brink of disaster, one would hope that outside the box approaches be tried, if for no other reason than desperation.
IMNSHO, propaganda that “heightens the contradictions” is self-evidently valuable. For an – ahem – non-deep thinker, like Trump, it seems to me that hitting him with such is even more important, as I don’t think that Trump is just completely cynical, and a puppet, but rather very shallow, a dilettante, and just plain lazy. A lazy mind will more likely accept the easy ‘challenge’ of an absurdly posed question, than one that requires more thought.
So, if I was Putin (or his psyops guy), I would tweet at @realDonaldTrump something like this:
“If Israel attacks US warships in the Mediterranean, under a Russian flag, like they almost sank the US Liberty, is it OK with you if the Russian Air Force takes them out?”
He can’t say “no” or “yes”, so he’ll probably just deny the Liberty incident. But that will open him up to subsequent educational tweets, which can then repeat the question.
Similarly, Putin or his psyops guy could tweet Trump:
“There is internet chatter that the CIA was behind the Kemerovo fire that killed 64 Russian citizens, 2/3 of them children. There are lots of pictures of the dead children. Do you think I should nuke Langley?”
Even a lazy dilettante should be able to see the absurdity of the question, and see the analogy to the current Syria situation.
THIS IS ALSO A MEANS TO REACH THE DEMORALIZED AND/OR SOMNABULANT AMERICAN PUBLIC, MUCH OF WHOM ONLY GET US GOVERNMENT PROPAGANDA THROUGH MAINSTREAM MEDIA.
Recall that public outcry helped dissuade Obama from a similar attack on Syria, as Trump is contemplating.
Some other (arguably more desperate, and riskier) examples:
“How many American lives should a US President be willing to sacrifice, just to cover up a sexual indiscretion?”
“Who was really behind 911, and why did they do it?”
I like this Putin-Twitter idea
I have already suggested that Putin tweet that the Skripal affair is like a Monty Python production.
I think that would et him some good headlines, and some laffs
If Putin took the the Tweet-waves,
(1) it would get Trump’s attention
(2) he could bypass Trump’s handlers
(3) the American public wouild sure take notice and perhaps realize the danger they are in
The russian public may be taken aback by such a change in communication style by Putin, but hte current one does not seem to be working very well.
Perhaps direct Tweets are the contemporary version of, say, the hotline between Kennedy and Khrushchev—to make sure no one does something stupid.
A Tweet-War would be a whole lot better than an Hot War, and a whole lot more entertaining.
By definition, seems like the Deep Staters would be left out of the Tweet-versation.
Sometime, the public square is the safest place to be.
Katherine
Yes. My criticism of the Russians as stinking at propaganda primarily means “as concerning the American public”. Psyops would target both the American public, as well as the American elite.
I’m aware that both “propaganda” and “psyops” normally have negative connotations. But I’m only interested in the positive use of both, as a bloodless means of persuasion, education and deprogramming. The only ‘deceit’ would be obvious, as, e.g., the use of talking animals in Aesop’s Fables, or improbably scenarios like nuking Langley.
Trump liked telling his own fable/story, especially during his campaign, using the lyrics of a song about a snake that bit the woman who took her in.
So, Putin could use a creative psyop guy that can also create fables on demand.
If it saves us from WW3, Putin can laugh about lowering his standards with his buddies when he’s retired, in an intact and prosperous Russia. Even if it’s distasteful to him, in the here and now.
Funny, but the Democrat and Hollywood current mythology is that the Russians are so amazingly good at social media propaganda that they managed to defeat Saint Hillary and put Putin in charge of the US government.
Nothing is more guaranteed not to change anything than “not voting.”
Maybe if there was a rule in the constitution that an election was invalid if less than a certain percentage voted, but there is of course no rule like that.
The big problems the oligarchs face in any sort of real or fake democracy is that they are few and the rest of us are many. Thus, the oligarchs always have a whole bag of tricks to try to keep the many from voting for their own interests.
Its been shown that negative TV ads depress turnout. So, the elections are now full of negative TV ads. Or, when I grew up in the deep south, all sorts of tricks were played by the white power structure to try to keep the americans descended from africans from voting in large numbers. Flyers that claimed that election day had been moved. Flyers that said anyone voting would be checked for prior crimes by the police. Any trick they could think of to get people not to vote.
Of late, it seems that any opposition audience is now targeted by campaigns that urge them not to vote. Gee, I wonder why that is?
The oligarchs would love it if only they, their families, and their employees voted. They’d happily proclaim a winner of the election and put them into power, even if only 1% of the populace voted.
The action on election day most certain not to change anything is ‘not voting.’
‘Elections’, and ‘politics’ as a whole in the West are now gone beyond the level of sham to that of dirty farce.
We really MUST start from the realisation that, under capitalism, democracy CANNOT exist in any meaningful form. Under capitalism, particularly the ‘Free Market’ type imposed by US and Western bullying and force, which has privatised, ie looted, all the collective assets of societies, delivering them to insatiably avaricious parasites whose religion is profit maximisation, at any cost, ALL REAL power belongs to the owners of society, the increasingly tiny parasitic over-class.
They make all the decisions, and have them imposed by their stooges, the politicians, and, as the Gilens and Page study shewed, and commonsense tells us, the politicians in the West serve their monetary patrons almost exclusively-97% of the time, in Gilens and Pages’ estimation. The power of private financial contributions is paramount in deciding Western elections, perhaps most so in the USA, where > 90% of winners are the candidates who spend the most.
Then there are the ‘elections’. A choice, every few years, between which the public have NO meaningful influence, between near identical Rightwing, pro-capitalist ‘parties’ totally dependent on the money contributions of the rich. The ‘campaigns’ are carnivals of bribes, lies, character assassination and fear and hate-mongering. The brainwashing apparatus of fakestream media, advertising, PR, ‘think-tanks’ and ‘entertainment’ are all controlled by the rich, and go into full hate and fear-mongering overdrive during the campaigns. Then the ‘victory’ goes to the ‘winner’, a tiny fraction of the population, particularly where voting is voluntary (but adherence to the elected regime is not), even more so in ‘first past the post’ regimes, and let’s not even contemplate the US global efforts to rig or denounce election results under their regime change ‘Colour Revolution’ tactics. And, of course, while all voters have no real power between elections, the ‘losers’ are often viciously targeted for various punitive and vengeful measures, like ‘austerity’, social service destruction, ecological destruction etc.
Then there is the electorate, itself. Fifty percent, by definition, are of below median intelligence, many far below. Many are happily, even arrogantly, pig ignorant and ill-informed. Many are well along the continuum of psychopathic behaviour, hating and fearing others and having no human compassion or empathy, or relatively little. Yet these types are given (supposed) equal political power to those of precisely the opposite human types. Here in Austfailure, we suffer tragically, and comically, from the power of organised and militant imbeciles, who dominate our politics, egged on by the hard Right Murdoch fakestream media cancer.
‘Democracy’ is DEAD, and the proles know it. The ‘crisis of democracy’ is being addressed in precisely the method you would expect. Suppress all the Badthinkers, and blame the Great Evil Enemy, Russia and Putin, with his magical powers like electing Trump due to the machinations of thirteen Russia troll-farmers or click-bait manipulators or whatever, a proposition so moronic that only a society in its death-throes could not just see it emerge, but become the 100% confirmed reality of the ENTIRE fakestream media. The perfect combination of paranoia, lying, stupidity, pig ignorance and the Death Instinct in control of it all.
Trump deceived only those who allowed themselves to be deceived! Anyone who thought that an egomaniac like Trump, lusting for power and funded by the top Zionist financier, Adelson, was going to go rogue was kidding themselves from the start. Trump is delivering on the Zionist agenda. Yesterday Trump dined with that Zionist scumbag Dershowitz. What did you expect???
In America, voters are only allowed two choices in an election. It was Trump or Hillary. And Hillary would have already started the war last year. Trump was a lying con-man, but at least he offered a slim hope of something different.
“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.” –President John F. Kennedy, sometime before the deep state killed him to prevent peaceful change.
When Sheldon Adelson gave Trump ten million or whatever, at the end of his campaign, you could see who really controls him. A lifetime of involvement in the cess-pit of New York real estate, and his family’s ties by marriage to the ‘Gods upon the Earth’ further consolidate the servitude. Destroying Syria and murdering as many of its people as sacrificial offerings to themselves, is the Zionazis’ greatest priority at present. Not ‘the Jews’ united in blood-thirst. No, the ruling Zionazi elites, Talmudic and secular fundamentalist fanatics who REFUSE At All Times ever to compromise with the global untermenschen that they despise. We must never fall for the Zionazis’ foundational lie in their ‘antisemitism’ propaganda, that All Jews are and think alike, and that is like Bibi and the Orthodox and secular fanatics. To think that simply falls into the Zionazis’ paws.
Here, in Australia the media is more concerned with a cricketer playing with his balls
Oh yes …. and it is really, really, really concerned about what is happening at Facebook …. now THAT is serious
All negative news of Russia, N Korea, China, Syria, Ukraine et al is reported as fact. America has no choice but to go to war and punish these evil people.
So, with great reluctance, America will once again slaughter innocent people.
This dimwitted buffoon is trying to apply his idiotic “art of the deal” nonsense to international warfare. He tries to blow smoke in the hopes the other side will try and put out the fire by caving. That moron is in for a rude awakening, I hope the planet will not suffer the consequences of this stupidity.
F that pos trump…his election was one of the biggest psyops the US has ever seen. I know people that still defend this jackass. I still held out hope that he meant some of what he said, just for the sake of peace. But I knew the chances of that were slim, he was a zio puppet from the beginning. The Zionist control of the US government is a thorough, and complete control. May he rot in hell right next to his puppet masters.
I wrote earlier that trump was a 15 year ild psychopath, but his whole regime is composed of these. They don’t all act out publicly, like trump and haley, but they pursue the same policies.
And all of them are israeli quislings, first and foremost, which also makes them traitors. It’s funny how americans like to think of themselves as, and brag about being, these exceptional exceptionals, the greatest of the greatest, yet here they are, enthusiastic about being totally ruled and subdued by people who no longer really try to hide the fact they work for israel.
VT, I have to credit you with your POV on Trump.
You were right.
Your analysis of his personality defects are correct.
I had hoped he would be street smart and not fall for the IC and MIC and Israel First-and-Always cult.
Quite apparently, he has gone rogue on his voters.
The pivotal mistake he made that would have insulated him from this path was firing General Flynn to placate Pence. Everything since that moment, 13 days into his term has been a nightmare.
Over on the other side of the globe he has ginned up the Taiwan issue. I can assure everyone that China will never allow Taiwan to be a US ally and base. They will take the island with a massive invasion of a million men and missile and airwar that the world has never seen in their lifetime.
Trump is playing with fire that only God should hold.
Please remember that sane voices in the USA are not heard. They are ignored by the media, or even demonised.
A few posts up, we have a post by a US citizen, Nick. He is aghast at what is being done in his name. Many Trump voters, like him, got the opposite of what they thought they were getting.
Same in UK, Oz, Canada, Europe, all ‘west’; our voices are not heard. Canadian youtube blogger Stefan Molyneux, agonised and lamented this week that he, like many, wants to remove somehow the lunatics that are in charge, but how?
I am still neutral about Trump. Though a buffoon on the international stage, there is still some possibility in my mind, that he is by default, the rallying point for patriots in a position to do something, and that they will soon strike a preliminary blow to their deep state. I know the odds are not great, but it’s that or nothing.
The flip-side is, it could be a ruse to get patriots to reveal themselves, so they can be purged.
Occasional Poster, for some reason, I also have still some hope that Trump is bluffing…
As a businessman, Trump knows that the ‘big firm’ (that is, the US) has to make structural changes to survive, although the decline is inevitable. His platform was not for war but for building a new America. Recently, he asked the military to take care of the Mexican borders since no walls were there, yet, and help rebuild the roads and bridges – he is trying to find a new role for them… I think he is trying…
The gangsters made him an offer he couldn’t refuse. Probably told him that he’d have to watch his daughter die before they killed him. It was that, or go along with the plan and they’d all be rich (well richer) in coming generations.
Occasional, the current hideous situation derives, in my opinion, from a few factors. First the forty year domination of the West by the Right, in alliance with capital, and facilitated by the treachery of ‘social democrats’ like Blair, Mitterand, Hawke, Keating,Clinton, Obama etc, has driven all non-psychopaths from politics, media and business, the pillars of power. And the degree of moral insanity of these creatures has only grown over time, as a process of ‘unnatural selection’ weeded out the sane and decent and intelligent.
Second, the West is now totally controlled politically and in the fakestream media, by the Zionazis. The depths that these Judaic fascist thugs will plumb to maintain their power are illustrated by the vicious and villainous hate campaign, using totally fraudulent accusations of that ‘Supreme Crime’, ‘antisemitism’, to destroy UK Labour and Corbyn for the unforgiveable sins of daring to criticise ISRAEL in ANY way, support the Palestinians and the BDS movement, and daring to propose ‘Leftwing policies’. And that control, through straight money power, and blackmail and threats, have together poisoned those societies terminally, as it would if the controllers were Armenians or Scientologists. Societies run, in the end, not in the interests of all their people (I know this if utterly hypothetical under capitalism)but primarily to the benefit of a tiny fraction, and of a distant, foreign, terror state, are, let’s face it, stuffed.
Then there is the refusal of the glorious Western ubermenschen even to contemplate allowing ANY country, not even great civilizational powers like Iran, Russia and China, to operate in ANY way as independent states. ALL the world MUST be totally and permanently under US dominance, with Israel worshipped as a ‘Light unto the Nations’ and Arabs, Moslems and the Palestinians in particular, despised and reviled. As the above civilizations do not intend surrendering, the Western elite psychopaths are prepared to destroy everything in an effort to reverse history and their decline. And with Evil, psychopathic, nonentities like Bibi, Trump, May, Micron, and all the rest in charge, who can be optimistic that the twin existential Evils, the ecological Holocaust and thermo-nuclear annihilation, have no hope of being averted.
Larch, Pence, being a ‘Dominionist’ ie a ‘Christian’ Zionist, among other psychoses, is a proud stooge of the Zionazis. Some of the Zionazis’ stooges do it for the money, some out of fear of being destroyed by the ‘antisemitism’ industry stand-over thugs. And some like Pence do it out of the deranged belief that the Jews returning to the ‘Promised Land’ will usher in the End Times and the Return of Jesus and Armageddon and other crazy lunacies.
Of course, at that stage Pence and his ‘Handmaids’ Tale’ theocratic wannabes envisage the Jews being given a choice. Convert from Judaism, or die, hideously (the pornographic obsession with the ghastly deaths awaiting the ‘UnGodly’ at The End tells you all you need to know about Pence and his ilk)like the other heathens. So, in fact, Pence is a real Judeophobe, not an invented ‘antisemite’ like all the victims of the Zionazis’ current hate campaigns. But the Zionazis have been forging alliances with European fascists for decades, with their mutual hatred of Moslems the social glue. So Pence is a sort of American Anders Brievik, only vastly more powerful and dangerous.
All false flags are not just automatically believed by default, but are welcomed.
Timing is everything. When is the best time for the IDF to put a torpedo into a US ship? When Trump fires his first missile towards Syria? Or when Trump backs off?
Exactly what I expect to happen. A remake of the USS Liberty. The current excuses to wage a war are so shaky that I feel the Zios will pull something that will “definitely” justify an intervention.
As I have written before, Trump had the backing of 200 admirals and generals during the presidential election. I always wondered why 200 senior military men would back a 70 year old candidate who had no political and military experience. We now have our answer. They needed a puppet in the White House, who would take orders. Trump is turning out to be an even bigger puppet than Obama was. As for those “new”, “smart” missiles which Trump tweeted about, has he seen them ? Do they exist at all ? Is that what they told him to write ?
the full bunch in the White House, Three Letters Agencies, also generals and Admirals in the navy, army, etc, they are all of the same category, if not much worse.
So they say they will shoot – which they typically do when they announce it like that. And Russian Ambassador said such strike will be answered by strike on the agressor, ie Russia will shoot at NATO/USA. I don’t know how much weight such statement by an ambassador carry.
But if everyone does what he says he will, that’s it, open war between the nuclear powers.
I wanted to say something witty but all I have is a big hole inside of me. Shit. Shit. Shit.
No doubt about it. The yankee street has lost it’s marbles. Any culture that would choose and follow this sort of “leadership” has lost it’s way somewhere in it’s development. (Read “disintegration”).
As far as I can tell, no one is even thinking about it.
They are obliviouis. The ones who read newspapers are reading the NYT and are thoroughly brainwashed—although most such people are convinced that they are the cream of the culture, the intellectual elite.
I am simply horrified at the acceptance of utter nonsense by smart people, whether they read the newspapers or not. And the obsession with both Trump and Putin that shuts down any furhter thoughts at to the danger that the world is in. Partly, I belivee, becuase of the crazy Mueller investigation. It is causing all kinds of ripples. The unrelenting pressure on Trump is affecting his foreign policy “choices.”
For awhile, during my economic decline, I worked a few call center jobs.
It amazed me that so very few people even paid any attention to ‘news’ or ‘politics’. Even in the midst of a presidential election year. The conversation with workers were about MMA fights or the latest episode of Housewives of some city, or Hip Hop loves gone bad, or some other such nonsense.
If you got someone to express an opinion on anything real, it was so obvious that the comment was just some poorly regurgitated version of poorly remembered propaganda they’d heard on TV.
In the higher level corporate jobs I used to work, there used to be at least some political discussion. Even then it was dominated by people who thought the NYT or CNN wasn’t lying to them. I’ve always felt I lost that corporate job because I disagreed with them a little too often and let it be a little too well known that I was a dissident. But in the lower level jobs that I was forced into, it was very, very, very obvious that everyone is so brainwashed that they aren’t paying any attention at all.
And since the people are powerless in America, I can’t even really say with any conviction that they were wrong. Why worry about something you can not change?
“A Free Syrian Army (FSA) commander Fateh Hassoun has announced that it will start a new offensive following a possible US strike on Syria. According to him, the FSA is planning on regaining lost areas and capturing new ones. He also claimed that the possible US strike would weaken Damascus’ positions and will allow the start of “real negotiations.”
“We will try to take advantage of this strike, […] since these strikes will lead to the dispersion of the regime’s forces, the chaos in its ranks and the retreat of the regime. Such circumstances will subsequently prepare the armed forces […] for launching attacks, during which it will be possible to regain control of certain areas and capture new ones,” Hassoun said.”
That’s what this zionazi-gay aggression is intended to facilitate.
Come on! Push the red button and finish this fucking world! Vengeance Will Come Immediately! For absolutely everyone!
Do not annoy the Russian bear, it is more powerful than ever!
Remember how foaming was Trump about Kim the rocketman!
And while every neocon, every SMS was busy sucking from Trump’s tweeter and bashing him and Kim and their dog – under this smokescreen DPRK got uninterrupted participation in Olympics, semi-official negotiations with SK and promise of direct negotiations with POTUS.
Today Trump’s tweets about Putin the rocketman. I read it that the again urgently need neocons distracted form something less public but more important. We’ll see in a month or two.
This look like a declaration of war by twitter…is history in the making…and if it is a declaration of war why Russia doesn’t call a UNSC and why Russia doesn’t call the American ambassador in Moscow for explanations and recall the Russian ambassador in Washington and generally why Russia doesn’t take advantage of this “tremendous” diplomatic blunder and raise the hell at UN? I am not pleading for a Khrushchev and the “shoe incident” style but I just don’t see the reaction and condemnation this kind of open imbecility (incredible…did anybody verify that this twitting is not fake news?) demand. Maybe Russia is still in doubt…maybe…
Russia did call a UNSC yesterday. The results were of course predictable. Both sides veto’d the resolutions of the other side. Both side made speeches.
So, in terms of Russia laying out its case before the world, they did that yesterday. If you still have access to any free portions of the internet, you should be able to find the speech in its entirety. And of course with anything these days, the full speech should be read and not just the oligarch’s propaganda versions. But, all in all, its just meaningless.
Calling an ambassador in and making a strong statement to them is not a public act. It may also have already happened.
And a little over a month ago, Putin made his speech where he told the oligarchs as strongly as possible to “Listen to Us!”. The Chinese have also been very forceful in their statements and actions. The oligarchs are not listening.
The oligarchs want war. Its like 1939, where no words from anyone were going to prevent Hitler from starting that war. The notion that Chamberlain could have made a speech that would have stopped Hitler is of course impossible. The oligarchs want war, thus the world will get war.
He is really a despicable clown. This is not a behavior of a statesman… How deep did really the West sink? I think these people know they are losing, so they bark like crazy from the inability to fix the problem as Russia is not Iraq… it is truly sad…
Nothing less than a very good motive for both the Skripal hoax and the false flag chemical weapons attack :
(From Zaid Fidel, at Syrian Perspective – exerpt)
“Folks, the reason for all this anti-Putin nonsense is the one fact that the Syrian government now holds over 11 British officers who were liaised with the terrorists in the Ghouta. They were captured 2 weeks ago by Syrian Army commandos and are being held in separate jails around the Damascus area inside heavily guarded military bases. The Brits want them badly before they are used to implicate England in the mess it helped to create in Syria. Damascus won’t budge on this issue and, evidently, the English are assuming Moscow is not putting pressure on Dr. Assad to release them to Old Blighty. Too bad. And they were caught out of uniform, such that they could be executed as spies under international law. Isn’t that a howler? “
To wear the Queen’s uniform is a mark of perfidy
Further, after Rotheram andTelford what does anyone who takes the Queen’s shilling think they are defending?
Eimear
That NATO officers have been captured in Syria has been reported by some websites, although not by all. I don’t know if the news is true or not. Perhaps The Saker can give us his opinion on the matter.
Bluff or not may be unrelated to the process…a stated intent followed by action against another, made loudly as “I am coming to kill you.” is designed to guarantee a fight…that’s why one would say such things. But perhaps T Man hopes Ivan is able to shoot down 100% of incoming… That’s dreaming. This is real world… There is no realistic prospect except to settle matters by force.
Dances with B says “…And so it was, even before the US Treasury announced its newest sanctions against Russian individuals and their companies for “malign activity around the globe”, that President-elect Vladimir Putin was preparing a successor cabinet of ministers on the principle that they would be organized as a headquarters staff for fighting a war on all fronts, without the option of negotiating terms with the enemy…”
Calling our representatives will do zero. Calling on God will do a lot.
We Christians, Muslims that want peace need to call God daily. Only God can defuse this demonic madness that is to descend, yet again, upon the Syrians and Russians.
We musn’t quit begging God to intervene.
And for the atheists among us, you are not orphans, you too can ask for the forces of good to intervene.
The God I speak of does not ” create horrific messes”.
The God I know has mercy, compassion and love for His Children.
With sincere prayers the outcome can be changed. This is Faith in God.
Nobody on Earth had such profound understanding of divine sovereignty than Jesus Christ. No Man ever prayed more fiercely or more effectively. He believed it worked. Then I must. I have no other choice. It is ingrained in me.
We pray because God commands us to pray for the Other.
God is light and in him is no darkness.
Creating moral agents unavoidably and tragically involved creating the conditions for evil to emerge, and presciently seeing this evil.
Yet, somehow, our moral choices are so important for God that, from His vantage point, evil is infinitely compensated by the overall and particular good of the present and future creation.
Evil may look radical and unhinged, but it is contained throughout the biblical narrative and eventually vanquished in Christ’s victory over death and hell.
The Serpent is as good as dead; it may not know it, but there’s a missile implacably catching up with it.
And, thank you Carmel by the Sea for reminding us that reminding us that worrying is futile when you can take action and pray.
I suppose that problem of suffering is all mankind’s origination (the weeds, eh) too (or maybe you, unbelievably, just think non-human lifeforms are non sentient).
In exactly the same way as the Skripal case – what a preposterous fabrication of “light”.
A bit of relief comes from Andrew Korybko. He is one of the few rational, analytical thinkers around and well respected. He says that Russia will not respond and that the events going on may just be a coordinated “face-saving” between two military superpowers.
It’s simple: Donald Trump is dangerously insane. The fate of the world is in the hands of a madman, and he is abetted by a whole tam of madmen, and women (don’t want to leave out crazy Nikki).
Lets try to analyze what Korybko is trying to communicate here.
-Two military superpowers don’t want to lose face and relevancy, thus they have to do something. The best way to do something would be to choreograph something mutually and be happy altogether.
-Neither one of the Superpowers want to reveal and test fully their arsenal, as this would show their weakness to the opponent. So we have to fight like the “fake” WWF. We may toss each other around, but we won’t hurt ourselves really.
-Trump will be allowed to send some missiles (like he did a year ago), mostly targeting may be some Iranian installations. Russia will turn a blind eye or at a minimum may neutralize a few missiles. There will not be a massive attack of hundreds and hundreds of cruise+tomahawks.
-After the Trump attack is over, Russia will go back to Syria’s Assad and tell him to get rid of the Iranians in Syria. (Emphasis here). Since the beginning Russia was not particularly happy with Iranians and especially the Kurdish Barzani’s defeat in the hands of Iran. It has cost them dearly. They had a billion dollar oil contract signed with the Kurds. Russia will also push Turkey not to go ahead with Manbij operation. Lavrov just mentioned it yesterday. Three party Federation (Kurdistan, Sunnistan, Alevistan) in Syria is something that Russia does NOT oppose, as long as there are no wahabists (Saudi head choppers) left in Syria, which could pose a danger to destabilize Russia in the future.
This is what I think. I may be totally off the track, but at least some of the events on the ground tells me that Korybko may very well be right.
That actually sounds like a lot of divide and conquer propaganda to break up the newly formed partnership between Turkey,Russia and Iran.You and Korybko are wrong and among the many things you get wrong is the simple fact Turkey and Iran are far more trustworthy than USA and hence make better friends.
Ask yourself this – If internal politics are mostly Kabuki theater between the parties involved while they are sucking the people dry couldn’t be that foreign and international politics are the same but on a planetary wide scale?
If this is true, then the Russians appear to be dangerously naive. Do they seriously believe that if Assad is removed their interests in Syria will be preserved? If Assad is removed, he will no doubt be replaced by a Zionist puppet. The US presence in Syria will be endorsed, the Golan heights will be permanently ceded to Israel and the Russians will be asked to abandon their bases in Syria and leave. Again, the implied apparent tacit acceptance at face value that the US is in Syria simply to “fight ISIS” and not to remove Assad is bizarre. That faith in the US has led to the extremely dangerous face-off between their respective military forces that now exists. Russia clearly inserted military forces into Syria with no thought about the possible consequences of direct conflict with the US military. The defeat of ISIS was just the prequel. Whatever the viewpoint of the Russians, the US does not regard them as “partners”. Moreover, Mr Korybko has often claimed that Russia and Israel are “allies”. He has never produced any evidence that Israel is an ally of Russia. I hope Mr Korybko is wrong.
The Moscow Times is a pro-West rag with barely a fig leaf to cover its trash. And Korybko is always wrong anyway, except when he spouts trivial pieties.
It looks like it might be a Pearl Harbor as someone said and a lot of barking after that and then silence. And silence.And silence. No more staged events,no need, and then the big provocations like Ukraine or Turkey attacking Greece and then like in a circle,Syria again.
It is getting ugly if the invaders jump over the cliff ( see Saker’s list,Point 2…..)
Stupid Trump,its not about the missiles,read Russia warnings carefully !
Can someone pls answer this question..
If u had a missile defense unit which would u protect first? The citizens living in the city or the weapons depot located on the city outskirts
Odd, I’m familiar with that scenario as I saw it presented in an older video game titled, “Alpha Protocol”. The game player decides what to protect, people or weapons.
I saved the people because Jesus Christ has saved me.
Acceptance of Christ’s ministry and faith in his Logos leaves no doubt in my mind. The corporal body is but a temporary vessel that contains our soul for the brief time we live on God’s Earth. Eternal life is forever if we worship our Father so that we may receive his blessings as we make the short journey to him.
The US pulled out of Lebanon when the Marine barracks was bombed. American/Israeli missiles killed five Iranians. A thousand American troops have invaded East Syria and would be legitimate casualties of war.
The US prescence in Syria is like a pustule infecting the body of the nation. Will the threatened attack serve to finally lance the boil and allow the patient to recover? Or simply spread the infection about? Or entirely miss the mark and accomplish nothing?
Is our fate controlled by self infatuated tweeters? Or people of intelligence and morals? Perhaps neither…
When i read the very lasts tweets of Trump… i just cannot believe it ! My first thought was that his Twitter account has been hacked… and the second is that he’s really mad!!
You’re with Russia, or you’re with the terrorists. That’s all that needs to be directed at Trump. A few photos of the child beheaders with a smiling trump pasted in should suffice.
Tell zakharova to stop talking if she can’t perform this simple task. We’re not on trial. They are.
Perhaps one way for the hostilities to go away would be for the recently departed Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group to disappear in the middle of the Atlantic…
In the darkest hours I think this is a global show until a fullscale profiling of the population via Neuralnetwork AI can be achieved. Combined with abolition of cash and the everexpanding data sniffers, surveillance systems and linking everything to the individual, total control can become reality and the hierarchy will be cemented for a rather long time. It is well underway in many countries, it just needs to be linked.
It doesn’t make sense otherwise, except US/NATO elites are just insane.
LOL Wallstreet is celebrating because satellite images show Russian destroyers LEAVING PORT! LOL Of course they are leaving port they are preparing for war, that’s what ships DO!!!!
Yes, I saw that. Stocks are up because Wallstreet thinks Russian are decamping, when they are in fact preparing for battle..talk about misreading a situation.
Wall Street always loves a war. Profits to be made, or at least that’s how they think.
Let me guess, its the ‘defense’ stocks that are leading the upswing.
Just went and took a look. At this time, the Dow is down a bit. Rose early in the day, but has since given up those gains. Strangely, the page I checked doesn’t list ‘defense’ as a sector. But the do show “oil and gas” and “energy” leading with gains in those areas.
Missile maker Raytheon is up at least as much as the oil sector, and Lockheed Martin is doubling their gains.
Tillerson may have lost his job, but his Exxon stocks have made him some money today.
Trump, sweetheart: Why would Assad kill his own people when he has their firm support? Believe me — Assad, like most battle-hardened, courageous, and intelligent statesmen has a much deeper understanding of what countries and peoples deserve forceful punishment, and Syrians are not among them.
But please do keep on tweeting. Eventually, you will be awarded the Nobel Litterature Prize (misspelling intentional).
The environmentalists are out protesting pipelines, but the whole world is about to be made a radioactive wasteland and there is not a protester to be seen?
The mantra “All wars are bankers wars” is being forgotten here. The financial state of the west is at a similar position to that in 2007 before the collapse of Bear Sterns and the subsequent Global Financial Crisis. A major war will bury the financial mismanagement of the Western banks that would otherwise be exposed for all to see
IMO the west wants a full economic blockade of Russia, but they need a pretext. If Russia can be provoked into committing “an act of unprovoked aggression” such as shooting down a plane, that will be pretext they need, especially with the multiplier effect that comes from the media. Thus, Russia needs to either do nothing or respond with such force that the West cannot simply shift the war to the economic front while cooling things off militarily. Striking Saudi oil fields would be one way of delivering a devastating asymmetric response that might not lead to full-blown Armageddon.
OK, so Trump…why not try crowd control Israeli style with sniper squads at the border? Bet that would go over really well with the hypocritical liberals who are now your new “base” for this war. Bad boy, no Nobel Prize for you this year.
I warned ever since 2014 that we would see this time come. Not having stood up to the US in Ukraine paved the way to this day. Had Russia openly supported the anti-US forces in Ukraine at that time we wouldn’t be here now. Ukraine would have been saved and Crimea secured.Certainly Russia would have faced massive, instead of weaker sanctions.But those are coming now instead.Had they faced them then.They would be in a much more secure position today.We all knew back then we were headed to a new Cold War (today maybe a Hot War). But wishing that away,will never make it not happen. Realizing the obvious,accepting it,and working through it, was what should have been done.But that was then,and today is now.
If the US succeeds in cowing Russia in Syria,it won’t stop there.They will move on to Iran,and back to Ukraine and Crimea.The US wants to destroy all Russian influence in the world.To take Crimea and Donbass. And ultimately to dissect Russia into mini-states.A death by a “thousand cuts”.If Russia doesn’t understand that by now,then they truly are lost.No one (no one sane) wants war. But time has shown,over and over again.If you aren’t willing to fight one when you must.Then you are doomed to be enslaved.When dealing with psychopathic killers,appealing to their “common sense” is not a real policy. Unlike many I don’t believe just by striking the missiles,or even shooting down the planes,or sinking the ships.That will stop the US and their stooges,and that they will back down.I think unless the US and NATO are made aware that we will have WWIII,including the chance of nuclear war.Will they come to their senses (if even then).A good start would be for the Russian Nuclear forces to be put on “Red Alert”. And an ultimatum sent to the US,”Any attack on Russian Forces in Syria will be considered an act of war against the Russian Federation.And the Russian Federation will be at war with the United States,from that moment”.That might bring the West to reason.Maybe not though.And we would then be in the situation,that we are heading to now.But at least it would be a chance to avoid a war that is surely coming anyway.
One other point. I wouldn’t trust Turkey at all. We see today their FM attacking Assad.And echoing the West’s lies.At best we can hope for a neutral Turkey,waiting to see how the wind blows.But there is always a strong possibility,of a “stab in the back” at any moment.So hopefully Russia is on guard for that possibility.And must be prepared to destroy the Turkish military in lighting moves.
The public announcement and positioning of forces is part of a negotiation – with guns. They want to force Putin to back down. Other means have failed so they mean to force the choice “attack Europe and be painted as Hitler or give in”. That’s why France and UK are involved (along with various other vermin and hanger oners). High stakes poker and we don’t know what cards each side is holding nor how far they are willing to bluff or follow through with the threats that have been made. Trump’s people still saying “no decision has been made” because they are still negotiating.
False flag Operation Duma – Christoph Hörstel 08.04.2018 – Video
(You can change the language of the subritles from German to English) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5viqkDHr028
apparently, there were some brit tourists without up to date visas in damascus recently ,looking for bangers&mash,they were directed to douma as this is were londonish food is served best ,as there were some famous merchants from the city of london residing there, while there ,they met some wide eyed teens who were playing crickets with used chlorine caskets, apparently dropped by the barrel bomber of the president using evil putin’s helicopter. While having simple light hearted fun playing crickets with the local lads ,they were arrested by the evil regimes of animal assad.May is demanding that the animals stop torturing these innocent tourists and sent them merrily back to the empire.BBC will cover this once they are done with the russian spy poisoning case.
There are 2 women of influence regarding Trump, his wife and his daughter. (There is another, but I don’t know what she thinks or how influential she is).
Melania should naturally be able to influence him, but I think he listens to his daughter far more: all she has to do – via input from his jewish son-in-law & via Israel – is to cry to him and demand he do something to avenge the (alleged) killings, and that is when he loses sound judgement, instead basing his dumb words & actions on emotional – and wrong – input. With a bit of help from mueller against his lawyer & a ‘small matter’ of a fire at Trump towers…
Putin should know all this – has anybody heard/read of Putin being on the phone to Trump???
By the way, Farage’s thinking is right, while that useless excuse & his bullshit piers moron – sorry, morgan – gets it hopelessly wrong.
Trump is no longer in control. Here is a video of his body language analysis when he announced upcoming strikes in Syria. He is defeated and withdrawn. The coup is complete.
One thing I find shocking right now. Is the “seeming” lack of any big power diplomatic efforts to avoid war. Once the US has attacked Syria it will probably be too late.Now is the time to try an avoid that attack.I hear no voices from the Pope. I don’t hear anything from China,nor from India.I would think “especially” China would be making statements,calling for a meeting of Trump and Putin to try an diffuse this crisis before war breaks out.
I think Putin should act like nothing is going on.And publicly announce he thinks a summit with Trump is a good idea,and he accepts. Then submit a list of world cities that he would see as suitable.But cravat that acceptance,that it would have to be before conflict broke out.That would give Trump the ability to have an exit from the crisis.He could say since Putin wants to meet and discus the crisis,he was holding off on any action.He would be able to not lose face.And the people in the world that count would know that was really Putin trying to avoid WWIII.
The list of cities I would choose would be:
Asia:
Beijing (that way Xi could be the arbitrator).
New Delhi (make Modi look important)
Seoul (lend a hand to Moon)
Toyko (make Abe look important)
Hanoi (old friend to Russia)
Manila
Ankara
Europe:
St Petersburg
Vienna (neutral)
Rome (the new government isn’t unfriendly to Russia)
Helsinki (neutral)
Budapest (not unfriendly to Russia)
Prague (the President is fairly friendly to Russia)
Berlin (see how Merkel reacts)
Reykjavik (has history of US/Russian summits)
Belgrade (throw that in as a swipe at the US)
North America:
Havana (jab the US)
Mexico City (the Mexicans aren’t likely to cheer Trump)
South America:
Brazilia
Montevideo
Caracas (jab the US)
Buenos Aires
Santiago
Quito
Lima
Africa:
Cairo
Algiers
Capetown
Give the US this list and let them pick. Except for a couple,the US couldn’t have a reason not to like them.And none of them is likely to have big anti-Putin protests.Nor anti-Trump as well,though maybe more of those than anti-Putin ones.
The more I think about this bizarre tweet the more I have a weird felling that this is his message to both Russia and Syria to be prepared as the upcoming strike is now officially confirmed and pushed by Deep State. It will for sure happen in next few days, which with this tweet, gives both sides time to prepare.
He speculates that Trump is no longer even writing his own tweets. Instead, they are being done by John Bolton. Luongo notes that “Trump’s tweets right after the latest announced attack rang false. The word choice was all wrong. Tone right. Words wrong.” and that “This morning’s tweets. The same way. “Gas killing Animal?” Who’s writing his material now? A third-grader?

Bosnian poet and director of Lik Teatar
It was a fertile year for wheat like never before, it was all in abundance …
Those who were chronically ill and who longed for death, finally gave the soul to God with a smile.
In the days of great storms the sky was red. The rain brought with it the dust of the deserts beyond the sea. The old men said: there will be war! Nobody gave credit to their words. And nobody did nullify. For what could be done against prophecy! only we sang for whole days, until we were left without a voice, to be able to consume all the old songs, so that none would remain that was dirty in time.
1. When they see the first body in the street, people turn their heads, vomit and lose their senses. Feel the tremor first in the knees, then you miss the air, you turn your head. Cold water, light slaps, are helpful in these cases. If the unconscious does not come back, lay him on his back and lift his legs up in the air.
If the corpse of that day was a relative or a neighbor, do not allow it to approach and look at it. The wounds caused by the grenades are generally the cause of a new fainting. And there is not much time available. It is advisable to cry, it is good for the heart. But even for this there is so much time available.
2. If the city is in a state of siege, it is necessary to send the bravest to try to carry the opaque plastic bags for the corpses. If these do not come back, you have to wrap the dead in white sheets. It is not advisable to bury them without. This causes panic to spread and the fear of death easily becomes the fear of ending up buried in the same way.
3. The burial takes place at night, for security reasons. Therefore, before the burial, we must ascertain the identity of the deceased for good. In the case of torn bodies, it is necessary to establish precisely the pieces that belong to each body. If errors still occur, it is best to avoid admitting it later. So much for the dead is the same. If there are other parts of the body near the person who was buried, but other parts of the body have been found, and burial has already been done, the remains must not be thrown away, as hungry dogs usually gather there.
The best thing, if you have time and desire, is to collect all that is left in a bag and bury it on the surface near the tomb. We must be careful that our relatives do not notice it, because they conceive of the corpse as a whole and this fragmentation would represent a further painful frustration for them.
4. No one is mad in war. Or at least that can not be asserted against anyone. Many of those who were mad before the war show themselves very well in the war. As brave fighters, convinced of the ideas of their leaders.
5. No one in the war is intelligent. You do not have to believe anyone’s truth. The long disquisitions on the senselessness of the former professor’s war, in the blink of an eye, turn into a wild war griffin as soon as he learns that his child has died on the street.
6. Do not remember anything. Try to sleep without sleep. You must adorn yourself with amulets and have faith in the fact that they will help you. Have faith in any sign. Listen carefully to your belly. Act according to your feelings. If you think you do not have to walk that way, then go for another.
7. Do not be afraid of anything. Fear generates new fear. It stops you. You must firmly believe that you have been chosen to stay alive.
8. Do not leave half-finished work. Weld debts. You must be clean. Do not make new friends. Already with the old ones you will have enough worries.
9. Protect your memories, photographs, written evidence of the fact that you existed. If everything burns, if you lose everything, if you take everything … you will have to prove to yourself that once you were.
Heap everything in plastic bags, bury in the earth, walls in the walls, hide, and only your loved ones reveal the map to reach the treasure.
10. Do not tie yourself to things, to the earth, to the walls, to the houses, to the jewels, to the cars, to the objects of art, to the libraries … Turn everything that has a price into money. And yet, do not bind in any way to money. As soon as you can, exchange it with your freedom.
11. Used for the good of people. Always. Most of the time they do not deserve it, but you do it anyway. Do not expect any gratitude. Do not ask for those who do good. Do not bind to your actions.
12. Do not say what you think. Do not be so stupid to such an extent. Because as soon as you think you do not belong to them anymore. Do not be silent, because they can not think that you are thinking about something. Speak, so, just to talk.
13. If you run into danger, do not be brave, even driven by desperation. Try to survive. Do everything in your possibilities. Only you must be careful not to put others in jeopardy with your attempts. As long as you are not dead, you are alive. It seems understandable. Never take it off your head. If you have to sacrifice yourself, do it for the people you love, never do it, in any way, for ideas. Your sacrifice will be judged by others always incorrectly, according to their conscience and their perspective. The ideas will pass, they will ruin, they will become comical. If you stay alive, you’ll see how difficult it will be to continue believing in them.
14. Do not beg for any reason. Do not beg anyone. Not even if life is involved. It’s a matter of good taste. Just think about what it means to live on the same planet with a person who has saved your life.
16. You must not be surprised at anything. Of every possible prodigy. You do not have to be depressed by anything. Even before they were all like this, only the conditions were different from those of now. This is the first opportunity to test yourself. So many are disappointed by themselves that in comparison your disappointment is a trifle. If someone betrays you once, do not let them do it again.
17. Try to always be cautious. If you need a hole to repair yourself, dig it yourself. If someone else does it for you, the hole may turn out to be too small. 18. You do not have the right to be angry with anyone. And yet, you must not forget anything. When it’s all over, decide what you do not want to remember. If everything has passed. Do not forget the exams that some did not pass.
19. And yet, do not base yourself on this. Do not wait for the opportunity to reveal yourself. Revenge must be foreign to you. A question that belongs to others. If you survive, live for yourself and for those who survived with you.
20. And again, never believe that you are the Lord of Truth. Nobody is. It seemed to you this way. To another it seemed different. Keep the piece of your truth for yourself. It will only serve you. Waiver of the right to write to the right of the siege. Do not oppose the names of those dead who have been chosen as heroes. Do not hope to be able to fix something, not even an unresolved injustice. At that moment, when you saw the first corpse on the road, the post-war history was already written. Then they will only put the names of the people, the cities, the mountains, the bulwarks that have been gloriously defended and the ramparts that have fallen gloriously. There is no place here for your truth.
Now that you know all this, try to protect yourself and maybe save your head. If you can not, at least you will not get bored.
Translation of #Trump’s message to #Kremlin: #Russia drops its head and enters the ranks and we stop the economic war, either you have to take up the conflict and keep your promises, because we will go all the way .
This would explain the three tweets.But it looks more ‘boltonesque’ than trumpiste.
Glenn Greenwald Pushes Official US Propaganda Lies, Trump Shows Himself Operative Of War Lunatics
As the U.S. stands poised to strike Syria in yet another display of its unbridled militarism, it is the Unlimited Imperialists along the lines of Alexander, Rome, Napoleon and Hitler who are in charge, argues Francis Boyle in this commentary.
The attack should happen during the night from thursday to friday,as they only requested a 72 hours window for civil aviation embargo at Eurocontrol.Blocking the air trafic more would be very ‘uncivilized’ coming from these human values,freedon and democracy lovers.
The Russians need to send out as much threats as possible !!
They need to tell the world on every type of media that they are capable of striking US ships and their air-force and are willing to escalate to the point of wiping out the entire continental US.
….the threats need to be big !……enough of this civilized low key modest way of communicating.
US generals should be pushed to the point of pissing in their pants before carrying out orders.
They have to know that their execution of orders will be met with American bodies being sent in plastic bags.
I personally have absolute zero respect and completely loath this evil mercenary US military who kill and massacre innocent people all over the world. The military needs to pay a big price, from the soldiers all the way to the generals.
The next war will not be fought on Russian soil that’s what Putin promised sometimes back. Looks like it will be fought in Syria. If Russia does not fight here then she will be sent back within her boarders and then definitely the next war will be on Russian soil. The Russians must be knowing this and I doubt they will back down at any cost. All we can do is wait patiently and see how all these unfolds.
Headline suggests that he is just bluffing. Any basis for that suggestion?
Well, this episode does recall the “showdown” with the DPRK. Threats. A carrier strike group en route. Sabre rattling. And then… suddenly nothing.
Of course VVP is not Kim Jong.
Let’s hope it’s a bluff.
If the bluff didn’t work with Kim, its certainly very unlikely to work with Vlad.
However, Trump thinks it did work. He thinks his bluff is what caused Kim to come to the bargaining table, so Trump wants to try it again with VVP. Trump is in for a rude awakening, I’m afraid.
I don’t think Trump was ever stupid enough to think such bluff would work with VVP, that’s why I classify the phenomenon as “bluff for internal public”. It doesn’t match any rational criterion other than such.
It all stopped after Rex Tillerson visited Bariloche, Argentina. My guess is check out to see who is there.
Elijah Magnier, 6 hours ago:
“In case of a “missile hit”, I was told that US & EU confirmed to #Russia that there is no intention to hit any Russian military facility/deployment & that US & allies will coordinate any act of war on #Syria if decided.
This means Russia-Damascus will be informed before hand.”
Which assume the Russians want to play nice?
The Americans would be wide open to someone shaving and dressing up some dead terrorist bodies from E. Ghouta in Russian uniforms and then the Russians screaming about the attrocity that has just been committed. And then perhaps blowing up something like the Al-Tanf base in retribution for the ‘dead Russians.’
Trump should have stuck with pro wrestling. He’s way out of his league now.
Something I saw that’s in line with that…. (Sorry, don’t remember the links.)
Damascus is moving airplanes to Russian bases and Russia is putting a bomber/s at the Iranian airbase…..
It will be a pity if the US strikes Syria with no retaliation again because it means they will do it again … and again … and again. IOW.,It means … Syrians will keep dying to make Trump look presidential. Rather horrifying that this has become “the norm of our times….”
Any act of war without UNSC approval is the Supreme Crime under International Law, that of aggression. You will have noted that not one Western fakestream media presstitute vermin dares to mention that inconvenient fact. For a blatantly phony ‘gas attack’, staged by insanely Evil jihadist killers and long predicted for just this time, ALL humanity is put in deadly danger, yet not one of these filthy fakestream media scum breaks ranks from the lying hysteria. Has there ever been a cadre of hypocrites, liars and hate-mongers more foul than these?
And why should the Russians belief the insane Yanks in this situation ?
If the radar stations detect hundreds of incoming cruise missile they have only a few minutes to react.
So how can the now, what are the real targets of the missiles ?
The yanks played so often dirty, that the Russian would surely also have to consider this “don’t worry, this is just a show, we won’t hit you” could be a trap.
And there is the problem of this incredible mess: The situation has escalated so far, that every single misinterpretation of the other side could led to WW3. This is completely insane
If the US launches 100s of missiles at once, that is
Putin’s definition of conventional war and he will
respond with a nuclear strike against nuclear
bases in North America and near Russia.
How many times has Putin said he will not fight a
conventional war and will escalate one to de-escalate
it? I assume you all know what he meant by that.
And tell me why the US would launch 100s of missiles
at Syria when they know the the Russians will respond
with a nuclear first strike?
Why wouldn’t the US launch a nuclear first strike
themselves and beat Russia to the Punch?
After reading a few hundred comments on different web sites, most of which express a mixture of anger and horror at this tweet, I’m going to go out on a limb and venture that this is Trump-style brinksmanship.
It seems likely that there are some ongoing, private conversations between the major stakeholders, in which various aspects of this conflict are being discussed and possibly negotiated.
In this context, the effect of Trump’s language is to make people feel he’s right on the edge or in fact already completely unhinged. Naturally, this rattles everyone and — he believes, at least — gains him some leverage in the negotiations.
This doesn’t make his approach any less crazy, but perhaps (I hope, at least) there is a method to the madness.
You cant compare wirh the former attack.
You forgot the dude called Bolton
No-Trump, like his class and his country, and the Western elites as a whole, and their controllers the Zionazis are mad, bad and dangerous to share a planet with. These Evil swine were always going to end humanity some time or other, and it looks very much like this is it. I mean-Trump, Micron, May, Netanyahoo, the Sordid Arabians, Qatar, the BBC, the Fraudian etc. Are any of these deserving of anything but life at hard labour without parole, then the obliteration of their names from history?
That ‘Tweet’, the moronic inferno’s favourite means to pithily encapsulate its cretinous viciousness, is that of a deranged and monstrous imbecile. But that, of course, is the very epitome of Homo americanus.
If Russia had said this.. usa would have pressed the red button immediately….so as usa has said this and eg Macron saying be kind to us Russia we really are trying our best to miss your important bits(well that is what we are saying hey but no guarantees that is collateral damage oops sorry did not mean it really ..but…)…so…Russian fleet is in Med 15 ships doing exercises. ..I just wonder what their orders are- to be prepared for anything and the command of the President presumably..any signs of urgent Russian Security Council meetings…Shoigu recalled from a night at the theatre ….
From now on my wife promised to call me “Gas Killing Animal”.
Does Trump fart?
After “killing gas” he’ll soon be sh***ing himself when he realises what he has started.
Lol, you farted in bed, didn’t you? ;)
Russia’s new missiles will have NATO codenames ‘Quilt Lifters’ and ‘Trump Trouser trumpets’
All that dead gas.
I’m not exactly sure how one kills a gas, but of course the evil Russkies would be the ones to come up with it.
I actually thought this was fake news but, no he really said that. Absolute insanity.
Well, somebody said it. The messages on the ‘real’ Trump twitter account have been so inconsistant of late that I’d guess that at least some of them come from staffers. Although, this is just moronic enough to have the RealDonaldTrump feel to it.
A new American invention, the “nice” missile. Sounds like something Douglass Adams would have come up with. The missile that says “have a nice day!” just before it explodes and kills you and your family.
‘new’ missiles? Does that mean newly off the production line that cranks out the same 1980’s model tomahawks?
And I don’t think the US has fired off a ‘dumb’ missiles since Vietnam, or perhaps Serbia. The Merchants of Death sell the ‘smart’ missiles for much bigger profits, so these days the US doesn’t blow up a garbage dump without wasting many milliions of dollars of ‘smart’ missiles.
+1 “just moronic enough to have the RealDonaldTrump feel to it”
I gather “new and ‘smart'” is a boast implying that the US now has some kind of improved cruise missile (Tomahawk with patched software?) that can’t be felled as easily by Russian ECM. Of course, the proof is in the pudding.
Or, as @realGollumTrump put it:
“Isengard swears to shoots down any and all firey rocks flung at Moria! Gets ready Isengard, because Sméagol hikes up loincloth! Catapults comes fast, nice and hot and “tricksy!” You shouldn’t be friends with Balrog Taming Orc who kills beings and enjoys it whole!”
Has Mr. Trump even given a serious thought or examination as to what happened in Syria? It is very well established that the mercenary and murderous groups who have been destroying Syria are armed and funded by the U.S. and their partners. If anyone gas attacked innocent people in Syria it was done by murderers sent by the U.S. And now you will show your superior morality in retribution for this animalistic act by blowing men, women, and children to bits?
Mr. Trump, you now stand, facing the door leading away from the heavenly city into eternal darkness for no unrepentant fornicator, liar and murderer can dwell in the holy city. This is going to be on you!
No, of course he hasn’t given serious thought. He doesn’t have to. The Generals tell him what to think and say. He is on a short leash, I suspect.
So because as you say, the Generals dictate to him that’s why he hired generals on his staff?
You’re kidding yourself.
You obviously don’t understand how things work in the US. Trump is a puppet.
“Has Mr. Trump even given a serious thought …”
I laughed so hard at the notion of Trump having a serious thought that I couldn’t remember to breathe.
Craig, you appear to have missed the phase transition among the Western Zionazi elites and their Sabbat Goy stooges like May, Micron and Trump, from plain, effective. Evil, that had kept the Real Evil Empire ticking along in one form or another for hundreds of years, to rank, omnicidal, hysterical insanity. It is hard to pick the precise time this occurred, but it’s here, right now, and the symptoms are multitudinous.
May, an Evil, vicious, sadistic incompetent (in my opinion at least)gets in a hole with Brexit and the rise of Corbyn, so she is given two weapons to use to rescue herself. The vicious attack on Corbyn and Labour by the Tories, the UK media sewer, and Rightwing, Zionazi, Jews based on almost totally fraudulent accusations of ‘antisemitism’, a campaign of still mounting hysteria in the face of which Corbyn is frozen with cowardice. And she either fakes the attack herself, or allows others to do it, in the Skripal Affair, then herself launches into an hysterical frenzy of lies, threats and accusations without evidence, against a country that could, if attacked, vapourise her ‘septic isle’. This is rank, deranged, Evil, and it is written all over the twisted prune of her face.
Micron is a Zionazi creation which takes its orders from CRIF, which, like all the Zionazi organs, is rigid with incandescent rage that Syria still survives, hence his dirty and genocidal determination to serve his Masters by Libyafying the country. Another monster of murderous Evil, but that’s how the Zionazis like their Sabbat Goyim.
And Trump, the deranged carnie huckster, Mr. America personified. A billion years of evolution and the unlucky mutation to ‘higher intelligence’ has produced this ‘creature’, to drive humanity to Hell. And he is just the most tragi-comic actor in the farce of ‘Exceptionalism’. Surrounding him in Thanatopolis DC are a rogues’ gallery of psychos and coward killers who would remind one of Hitler’s acolytes, but that they lack the charm and intelligence of that group.
Well, I think Twitter as the commercial company and conduit of that fake warmongering crap should be held to account and suspend the said ‘real’ author forthwith.
Now, I’m not a twitter user but I’m guessing the rules of use that all registered users would include NOT inciting WW3 on false pretenses — and use of moderate and respectful language.
The ‘Real Donald’ needs to be suspended from this public social media and restricted to official US Government communication channels run by adults in the room.
When it comes to israel’s colonial pindo regime, there are no adults left in the room. They all left by the back door some time ago.
I can think of one ‘Oval Office’ where this should apply — start from the top down until the situation improves.
“New California Bill Would Eliminate Free Speech, Require “Online Fact Checkers” ”
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-04-11/new-california-bill-would-eliminate-free-speech-require-online-fact-checkers
‘Hate speech’ prosecutions are strictly reserved for truth – tellers.
There are no adults in the room.
Aren’t threats of violence officially against Twitter policy?
It would at least be amusing if Twitter suspended his account. Something to laugh at while in the bomb shelters waiting to die.
The Russians let him improve his tough image as he tried to resist the neocons coup at the beginning of his presidency, and answered his first racketeering mildly. Now he thinks the same ll happen again. I do not think he is bluffing – the Russian reasonable behaviour has it’s cost, and that is encouraging this idiot.
Well guys I’m an American and I voted for Trump and I can tell you this man is a liar and has lied to the American people. He is being controlled and manipulated by the same deep state that has been controlling this country for a long time. His actions and the actions of my country are not representative of the people. Trump has deceived all of us that were looking for real change and a draining of the swamp. I stand in solidarity with Russia and the Russian people. Why my country refuses to align itself with the last great white Christian superpower on Earth and instead befriend and support fundamentally Muslim monarchies like Saudi Arabia is telling and illustrates just who controls the levers of American government. Certainly, not the American people anymore. While many Americans are in their brain dead stupor and are caught up in the bread and circus that has become American culture not all of us are asleep. I’m fearful of how this will play out and I refuse to support the US presence in Syria. I really hope deep down Russia stands up to the US military in some way and this blows over.
Moreover, I wish Russia would stand up to Turkey as well and Assad would give Erdogan a bloodynose.
Let’s pray for a peaceful resolution to this crisis. Western media is so utterly corrupt on so many levels. The average American has no idea what’s really happening in Syria. They are too concerned with Facebook and political fodder while major war could break out at anytime.
Something has to be done to address this issue. Obviously voting does not matter anymore, so a great start would be if people just stop doing it anymore. Since the faces of the presidents change but the beligerent politics does not, it makes no difference who the president is. The only answer should be massive protests and disobedience – not paying taxes, for example as tax money are spent on killing other people in the name of the so called democracy..I know, it is not going to happen as a big part of the average americans are zombified (this is applicable to most countries, not only America, but America poses the most serious threat to world peace in my opinion), but we (the average people, not only americans) need a revolution. Sometimes I actually hope for a major financial crisis (way bigger than 2008) as in my opinion this is the only way to wake up the zombies. People are normally egoistic and quite often ignorant towards other people’s issues. If, however, their own interests are at risk, they might wake up.
“Something has to be done to address this issue. Obviously voting does not matter anymore”
Voting is part of the solution, but won’t help in the immediate future.
The Russians really stink at propaganda and psyops. Twitter makes such even easier, and costs nothing, so I have to wonder what their excuse is. I get it that their government people are very professional, and Putin is fond of proper adherence to international law. Howerver, on the brink of disaster, one would hope that outside the box approaches be tried, if for no other reason than desperation.
IMNSHO, propaganda that “heightens the contradictions” is self-evidently valuable. For an – ahem – non-deep thinker, like Trump, it seems to me that hitting him with such is even more important, as I don’t think that Trump is just completely cynical, and a puppet, but rather very shallow, a dilettante, and just plain lazy. A lazy mind will more likely accept the easy ‘challenge’ of an absurdly posed question, than one that requires more thought.
So, if I was Putin (or his psyops guy), I would tweet at @realDonaldTrump something like this:
“If Israel attacks US warships in the Mediterranean, under a Russian flag, like they almost sank the US Liberty, is it OK with you if the Russian Air Force takes them out?”
He can’t say “no” or “yes”, so he’ll probably just deny the Liberty incident. But that will open him up to subsequent educational tweets, which can then repeat the question.
Similarly, Putin or his psyops guy could tweet Trump:
“There is internet chatter that the CIA was behind the Kemerovo fire that killed 64 Russian citizens, 2/3 of them children. There are lots of pictures of the dead children. Do you think I should nuke Langley?”
Even a lazy dilettante should be able to see the absurdity of the question, and see the analogy to the current Syria situation.
THIS IS ALSO A MEANS TO REACH THE DEMORALIZED AND/OR SOMNABULANT AMERICAN PUBLIC, MUCH OF WHOM ONLY GET US GOVERNMENT PROPAGANDA THROUGH MAINSTREAM MEDIA.
Recall that public outcry helped dissuade Obama from a similar attack on Syria, as Trump is contemplating.
Some other (arguably more desperate, and riskier) examples:
“How many American lives should a US President be willing to sacrifice, just to cover up a sexual indiscretion?”
“Who was really behind 911, and why did they do it?”
I like this Putin-Twitter idea
I have already suggested that Putin tweet that the Skripal affair is like a Monty Python production.
I think that would et him some good headlines, and some laffs
If Putin took the the Tweet-waves,
(1) it would get Trump’s attention
(2) he could bypass Trump’s handlers
(3) the American public wouild sure take notice and perhaps realize the danger they are in
The russian public may be taken aback by such a change in communication style by Putin, but hte current one does not seem to be working very well.
Perhaps direct Tweets are the contemporary version of, say, the hotline between Kennedy and Khrushchev—to make sure no one does something stupid.
A Tweet-War would be a whole lot better than an Hot War, and a whole lot more entertaining.
By definition, seems like the Deep Staters would be left out of the Tweet-versation.
Sometime, the public square is the safest place to be.
Katherine
Yes. My criticism of the Russians as stinking at propaganda primarily means “as concerning the American public”. Psyops would target both the American public, as well as the American elite.
I’m aware that both “propaganda” and “psyops” normally have negative connotations. But I’m only interested in the positive use of both, as a bloodless means of persuasion, education and deprogramming. The only ‘deceit’ would be obvious, as, e.g., the use of talking animals in Aesop’s Fables, or improbably scenarios like nuking Langley.
Trump liked telling his own fable/story, especially during his campaign, using the lyrics of a song about a snake that bit the woman who took her in.
So, Putin could use a creative psyop guy that can also create fables on demand.
If it saves us from WW3, Putin can laugh about lowering his standards with his buddies when he’s retired, in an intact and prosperous Russia. Even if it’s distasteful to him, in the here and now.
Funny, but the Democrat and Hollywood current mythology is that the Russians are so amazingly good at social media propaganda that they managed to defeat Saint Hillary and put Putin in charge of the US government.
I know this because I saw it on TV!
Nothing is more guaranteed not to change anything than “not voting.”
Maybe if there was a rule in the constitution that an election was invalid if less than a certain percentage voted, but there is of course no rule like that.
The big problems the oligarchs face in any sort of real or fake democracy is that they are few and the rest of us are many. Thus, the oligarchs always have a whole bag of tricks to try to keep the many from voting for their own interests.
Its been shown that negative TV ads depress turnout. So, the elections are now full of negative TV ads. Or, when I grew up in the deep south, all sorts of tricks were played by the white power structure to try to keep the americans descended from africans from voting in large numbers. Flyers that claimed that election day had been moved. Flyers that said anyone voting would be checked for prior crimes by the police. Any trick they could think of to get people not to vote.
Of late, it seems that any opposition audience is now targeted by campaigns that urge them not to vote. Gee, I wonder why that is?
The oligarchs would love it if only they, their families, and their employees voted. They’d happily proclaim a winner of the election and put them into power, even if only 1% of the populace voted.
The action on election day most certain not to change anything is ‘not voting.’
‘Elections’, and ‘politics’ as a whole in the West are now gone beyond the level of sham to that of dirty farce.
We really MUST start from the realisation that, under capitalism, democracy CANNOT exist in any meaningful form. Under capitalism, particularly the ‘Free Market’ type imposed by US and Western bullying and force, which has privatised, ie looted, all the collective assets of societies, delivering them to insatiably avaricious parasites whose religion is profit maximisation, at any cost, ALL REAL power belongs to the owners of society, the increasingly tiny parasitic over-class.
They make all the decisions, and have them imposed by their stooges, the politicians, and, as the Gilens and Page study shewed, and commonsense tells us, the politicians in the West serve their monetary patrons almost exclusively-97% of the time, in Gilens and Pages’ estimation. The power of private financial contributions is paramount in deciding Western elections, perhaps most so in the USA, where > 90% of winners are the candidates who spend the most.
Then there are the ‘elections’. A choice, every few years, between which the public have NO meaningful influence, between near identical Rightwing, pro-capitalist ‘parties’ totally dependent on the money contributions of the rich. The ‘campaigns’ are carnivals of bribes, lies, character assassination and fear and hate-mongering. The brainwashing apparatus of fakestream media, advertising, PR, ‘think-tanks’ and ‘entertainment’ are all controlled by the rich, and go into full hate and fear-mongering overdrive during the campaigns. Then the ‘victory’ goes to the ‘winner’, a tiny fraction of the population, particularly where voting is voluntary (but adherence to the elected regime is not), even more so in ‘first past the post’ regimes, and let’s not even contemplate the US global efforts to rig or denounce election results under their regime change ‘Colour Revolution’ tactics. And, of course, while all voters have no real power between elections, the ‘losers’ are often viciously targeted for various punitive and vengeful measures, like ‘austerity’, social service destruction, ecological destruction etc.
Then there is the electorate, itself. Fifty percent, by definition, are of below median intelligence, many far below. Many are happily, even arrogantly, pig ignorant and ill-informed. Many are well along the continuum of psychopathic behaviour, hating and fearing others and having no human compassion or empathy, or relatively little. Yet these types are given (supposed) equal political power to those of precisely the opposite human types. Here in Austfailure, we suffer tragically, and comically, from the power of organised and militant imbeciles, who dominate our politics, egged on by the hard Right Murdoch fakestream media cancer.
‘Democracy’ is DEAD, and the proles know it. The ‘crisis of democracy’ is being addressed in precisely the method you would expect. Suppress all the Badthinkers, and blame the Great Evil Enemy, Russia and Putin, with his magical powers like electing Trump due to the machinations of thirteen Russia troll-farmers or click-bait manipulators or whatever, a proposition so moronic that only a society in its death-throes could not just see it emerge, but become the 100% confirmed reality of the ENTIRE fakestream media. The perfect combination of paranoia, lying, stupidity, pig ignorance and the Death Instinct in control of it all.
Trump deceived only those who allowed themselves to be deceived! Anyone who thought that an egomaniac like Trump, lusting for power and funded by the top Zionist financier, Adelson, was going to go rogue was kidding themselves from the start. Trump is delivering on the Zionist agenda. Yesterday Trump dined with that Zionist scumbag Dershowitz. What did you expect???
In America, voters are only allowed two choices in an election. It was Trump or Hillary. And Hillary would have already started the war last year. Trump was a lying con-man, but at least he offered a slim hope of something different.
“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.” –President John F. Kennedy, sometime before the deep state killed him to prevent peaceful change.
You are absolutely right mr.Nick.Let us hope common sense prevails at the end of the day.
Well said.
When Sheldon Adelson gave Trump ten million or whatever, at the end of his campaign, you could see who really controls him. A lifetime of involvement in the cess-pit of New York real estate, and his family’s ties by marriage to the ‘Gods upon the Earth’ further consolidate the servitude. Destroying Syria and murdering as many of its people as sacrificial offerings to themselves, is the Zionazis’ greatest priority at present. Not ‘the Jews’ united in blood-thirst. No, the ruling Zionazi elites, Talmudic and secular fundamentalist fanatics who REFUSE At All Times ever to compromise with the global untermenschen that they despise. We must never fall for the Zionazis’ foundational lie in their ‘antisemitism’ propaganda, that All Jews are and think alike, and that is like Bibi and the Orthodox and secular fanatics. To think that simply falls into the Zionazis’ paws.
Think you are ill-informed
Here, in Australia the media is more concerned with a cricketer playing with his balls
Oh yes …. and it is really, really, really concerned about what is happening at Facebook …. now THAT is serious
All negative news of Russia, N Korea, China, Syria, Ukraine et al is reported as fact. America has no choice but to go to war and punish these evil people.
So, with great reluctance, America will once again slaughter innocent people.
WTF? Just WTF? Is Donald Trump still in control of his Twitter account?
Uri Katsav
Perhaps we should inquire if Trump is in control of anything.
Awarded the prize for the most intelligent comment I’ve seen all day.
Trump is barely in control of his own bowel movements.
And soon, he won’t even be in charge of that, if he decides to launch another act of aggression of any sort.
Good question.
Hadn’t thought of that.
Katherine
This dimwitted buffoon is trying to apply his idiotic “art of the deal” nonsense to international warfare. He tries to blow smoke in the hopes the other side will try and put out the fire by caving. That moron is in for a rude awakening, I hope the planet will not suffer the consequences of this stupidity.
F that pos trump…his election was one of the biggest psyops the US has ever seen. I know people that still defend this jackass. I still held out hope that he meant some of what he said, just for the sake of peace. But I knew the chances of that were slim, he was a zio puppet from the beginning. The Zionist control of the US government is a thorough, and complete control. May he rot in hell right next to his puppet masters.
Yeah a bully chickened out LOL! Overruled by Generals Hurrah!
RIP British empire
I wrote earlier that trump was a 15 year ild psychopath, but his whole regime is composed of these. They don’t all act out publicly, like trump and haley, but they pursue the same policies.
And all of them are israeli quislings, first and foremost, which also makes them traitors. It’s funny how americans like to think of themselves as, and brag about being, these exceptional exceptionals, the greatest of the greatest, yet here they are, enthusiastic about being totally ruled and subdued by people who no longer really try to hide the fact they work for israel.
The country is beyond dumbed down.
VT, I have to credit you with your POV on Trump.
You were right.
Your analysis of his personality defects are correct.
I had hoped he would be street smart and not fall for the IC and MIC and Israel First-and-Always cult.
Quite apparently, he has gone rogue on his voters.
The pivotal mistake he made that would have insulated him from this path was firing General Flynn to placate Pence. Everything since that moment, 13 days into his term has been a nightmare.
Over on the other side of the globe he has ginned up the Taiwan issue. I can assure everyone that China will never allow Taiwan to be a US ally and base. They will take the island with a massive invasion of a million men and missile and airwar that the world has never seen in their lifetime.
Trump is playing with fire that only God should hold.
His inadequacies have overwhelmed his mind.
Please remember that sane voices in the USA are not heard. They are ignored by the media, or even demonised.
A few posts up, we have a post by a US citizen, Nick. He is aghast at what is being done in his name. Many Trump voters, like him, got the opposite of what they thought they were getting.
Same in UK, Oz, Canada, Europe, all ‘west’; our voices are not heard. Canadian youtube blogger Stefan Molyneux, agonised and lamented this week that he, like many, wants to remove somehow the lunatics that are in charge, but how?
I am still neutral about Trump. Though a buffoon on the international stage, there is still some possibility in my mind, that he is by default, the rallying point for patriots in a position to do something, and that they will soon strike a preliminary blow to their deep state. I know the odds are not great, but it’s that or nothing.
The flip-side is, it could be a ruse to get patriots to reveal themselves, so they can be purged.
Time will tell.
Occasional Poster, for some reason, I also have still some hope that Trump is bluffing…
As a businessman, Trump knows that the ‘big firm’ (that is, the US) has to make structural changes to survive, although the decline is inevitable. His platform was not for war but for building a new America. Recently, he asked the military to take care of the Mexican borders since no walls were there, yet, and help rebuild the roads and bridges – he is trying to find a new role for them… I think he is trying…
The gangsters made him an offer he couldn’t refuse. Probably told him that he’d have to watch his daughter die before they killed him. It was that, or go along with the plan and they’d all be rich (well richer) in coming generations.
Occasional, the current hideous situation derives, in my opinion, from a few factors. First the forty year domination of the West by the Right, in alliance with capital, and facilitated by the treachery of ‘social democrats’ like Blair, Mitterand, Hawke, Keating,Clinton, Obama etc, has driven all non-psychopaths from politics, media and business, the pillars of power. And the degree of moral insanity of these creatures has only grown over time, as a process of ‘unnatural selection’ weeded out the sane and decent and intelligent.
Second, the West is now totally controlled politically and in the fakestream media, by the Zionazis. The depths that these Judaic fascist thugs will plumb to maintain their power are illustrated by the vicious and villainous hate campaign, using totally fraudulent accusations of that ‘Supreme Crime’, ‘antisemitism’, to destroy UK Labour and Corbyn for the unforgiveable sins of daring to criticise ISRAEL in ANY way, support the Palestinians and the BDS movement, and daring to propose ‘Leftwing policies’. And that control, through straight money power, and blackmail and threats, have together poisoned those societies terminally, as it would if the controllers were Armenians or Scientologists. Societies run, in the end, not in the interests of all their people (I know this if utterly hypothetical under capitalism)but primarily to the benefit of a tiny fraction, and of a distant, foreign, terror state, are, let’s face it, stuffed.
Then there is the refusal of the glorious Western ubermenschen even to contemplate allowing ANY country, not even great civilizational powers like Iran, Russia and China, to operate in ANY way as independent states. ALL the world MUST be totally and permanently under US dominance, with Israel worshipped as a ‘Light unto the Nations’ and Arabs, Moslems and the Palestinians in particular, despised and reviled. As the above civilizations do not intend surrendering, the Western elite psychopaths are prepared to destroy everything in an effort to reverse history and their decline. And with Evil, psychopathic, nonentities like Bibi, Trump, May, Micron, and all the rest in charge, who can be optimistic that the twin existential Evils, the ecological Holocaust and thermo-nuclear annihilation, have no hope of being averted.
Larch, Pence, being a ‘Dominionist’ ie a ‘Christian’ Zionist, among other psychoses, is a proud stooge of the Zionazis. Some of the Zionazis’ stooges do it for the money, some out of fear of being destroyed by the ‘antisemitism’ industry stand-over thugs. And some like Pence do it out of the deranged belief that the Jews returning to the ‘Promised Land’ will usher in the End Times and the Return of Jesus and Armageddon and other crazy lunacies.
Of course, at that stage Pence and his ‘Handmaids’ Tale’ theocratic wannabes envisage the Jews being given a choice. Convert from Judaism, or die, hideously (the pornographic obsession with the ghastly deaths awaiting the ‘UnGodly’ at The End tells you all you need to know about Pence and his ilk)like the other heathens. So, in fact, Pence is a real Judeophobe, not an invented ‘antisemite’ like all the victims of the Zionazis’ current hate campaigns. But the Zionazis have been forging alliances with European fascists for decades, with their mutual hatred of Moslems the social glue. So Pence is a sort of American Anders Brievik, only vastly more powerful and dangerous.
MM
“So Pence is a sort of American Anders Brievik, only vastly more powerful and dangerous.”
Exactly. I think most of the freakshow in the trump regime are not much different, either.
All false flags are not just automatically believed by default, but are welcomed.
Timing is everything. When is the best time for the IDF to put a torpedo into a US ship? When Trump fires his first missile towards Syria? Or when Trump backs off?
@ Levi Tate
Exactly what I expect to happen. A remake of the USS Liberty. The current excuses to wage a war are so shaky that I feel the Zios will pull something that will “definitely” justify an intervention.
You nailed it. I hope thef forgot to do it.
President Putin can threat a retaliation against the main USA ally in the region. Guess who could be?
As I have written before, Trump had the backing of 200 admirals and generals during the presidential election. I always wondered why 200 senior military men would back a 70 year old candidate who had no political and military experience. We now have our answer. They needed a puppet in the White House, who would take orders. Trump is turning out to be an even bigger puppet than Obama was. As for those “new”, “smart” missiles which Trump tweeted about, has he seen them ? Do they exist at all ? Is that what they told him to write ?
No matter where one goes….
all presidents and Prime Ministers are puppets to that nations deep state….
state sector advisors, monied big business, script writters etc etc…
It takes about 6 months before the elected are oblivious to the real world….
All the pathetic elected western monkeys are an embarrissing mottly lot who follow the pied piper to wards impending global destruction …
thats where we are heading…
the missiles are Smart… like Maxwell Smart , AKA Agent 86 from CONTROL

the full bunch in the White House, Three Letters Agencies, also generals and Admirals in the navy, army, etc, they are all of the same category, if not much worse.
Maybe he gonna buy missiles from Israel.
Sky Sniper or something
Exactly. But then again, every President since John Kennedy has been one, more or less.
So they say they will shoot – which they typically do when they announce it like that. And Russian Ambassador said such strike will be answered by strike on the agressor, ie Russia will shoot at NATO/USA. I don’t know how much weight such statement by an ambassador carry.
But if everyone does what he says he will, that’s it, open war between the nuclear powers.
I wanted to say something witty but all I have is a big hole inside of me. Shit. Shit. Shit.
We even don’t know if Trump’s handlers allow him access to ‘his’ Twitter account, or if the Politburo takes care of such important matters …
No doubt about it. The yankee street has lost it’s marbles. Any culture that would choose and follow this sort of “leadership” has lost it’s way somewhere in it’s development. (Read “disintegration”).
People are not “choosing” to follow.
As far as I can tell, no one is even thinking about it.
They are obliviouis. The ones who read newspapers are reading the NYT and are thoroughly brainwashed—although most such people are convinced that they are the cream of the culture, the intellectual elite.
I am simply horrified at the acceptance of utter nonsense by smart people, whether they read the newspapers or not. And the obsession with both Trump and Putin that shuts down any furhter thoughts at to the danger that the world is in. Partly, I belivee, becuase of the crazy Mueller investigation. It is causing all kinds of ripples. The unrelenting pressure on Trump is affecting his foreign policy “choices.”

For awhile, during my economic decline, I worked a few call center jobs.
It amazed me that so very few people even paid any attention to ‘news’ or ‘politics’. Even in the midst of a presidential election year. The conversation with workers were about MMA fights or the latest episode of Housewives of some city, or Hip Hop loves gone bad, or some other such nonsense.
If you got someone to express an opinion on anything real, it was so obvious that the comment was just some poorly regurgitated version of poorly remembered propaganda they’d heard on TV.
In the higher level corporate jobs I used to work, there used to be at least some political discussion. Even then it was dominated by people who thought the NYT or CNN wasn’t lying to them. I’ve always felt I lost that corporate job because I disagreed with them a little too often and let it be a little too well known that I was a dissident. But in the lower level jobs that I was forced into, it was very, very, very obvious that everyone is so brainwashed that they aren’t paying any attention at all.
And since the people are powerless in America, I can’t even really say with any conviction that they were wrong. Why worry about something you can not change?

Syrian Opposition to Launch Counter-Offensive After Possible US Strike – FSA
https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201804111063441625-syria-opposition-trump-strike-us/
“A Free Syrian Army (FSA) commander Fateh Hassoun has announced that it will start a new offensive following a possible US strike on Syria. According to him, the FSA is planning on regaining lost areas and capturing new ones. He also claimed that the possible US strike would weaken Damascus’ positions and will allow the start of “real negotiations.”
“We will try to take advantage of this strike, […] since these strikes will lead to the dispersion of the regime’s forces, the chaos in its ranks and the retreat of the regime. Such circumstances will subsequently prepare the armed forces […] for launching attacks, during which it will be possible to regain control of certain areas and capture new ones,” Hassoun said.”
That’s what this zionazi-gay aggression is intended to facilitate.
Come on! Push the red button and finish this fucking world! Vengeance Will Come Immediately! For absolutely everyone!
Do not annoy the Russian bear, it is more powerful than ever!
Oh, things do look rosy!
Remember how foaming was Trump about Kim the rocketman!
And while every neocon, every SMS was busy sucking from Trump’s tweeter and bashing him and Kim and their dog – under this smokescreen DPRK got uninterrupted participation in Olympics, semi-official negotiations with SK and promise of direct negotiations with POTUS.
Today Trump’s tweets about Putin the rocketman. I read it that the again urgently need neocons distracted form something less public but more important. We’ll see in a month or two.
This look like a declaration of war by twitter…is history in the making…and if it is a declaration of war why Russia doesn’t call a UNSC and why Russia doesn’t call the American ambassador in Moscow for explanations and recall the Russian ambassador in Washington and generally why Russia doesn’t take advantage of this “tremendous” diplomatic blunder and raise the hell at UN? I am not pleading for a Khrushchev and the “shoe incident” style but I just don’t see the reaction and condemnation this kind of open imbecility (incredible…did anybody verify that this twitting is not fake news?) demand. Maybe Russia is still in doubt…maybe…
Russia did call a UNSC yesterday. The results were of course predictable. Both sides veto’d the resolutions of the other side. Both side made speeches.
So, in terms of Russia laying out its case before the world, they did that yesterday. If you still have access to any free portions of the internet, you should be able to find the speech in its entirety. And of course with anything these days, the full speech should be read and not just the oligarch’s propaganda versions. But, all in all, its just meaningless.
Calling an ambassador in and making a strong statement to them is not a public act. It may also have already happened.
And a little over a month ago, Putin made his speech where he told the oligarchs as strongly as possible to “Listen to Us!”. The Chinese have also been very forceful in their statements and actions. The oligarchs are not listening.
The oligarchs want war. Its like 1939, where no words from anyone were going to prevent Hitler from starting that war. The notion that Chamberlain could have made a speech that would have stopped Hitler is of course impossible. The oligarchs want war, thus the world will get war.
Chamberlain got himself the non-agression oact with Hitler.
And indeed Germany took a lot of measures to avoid fight with Germany. Even in Dunkirk.
I think it is obvious
Russia did it!
Buggered if I know why …… but, clearly, Russia did it. Hacked his Twitter Account and did it.
After all, if there is no responsibility there is no blame ….. a politician’s wet dream …. no blame
Indeed, one of his better ones.

The NY stock exchange is not worried. Gold price stable. A lot of hot air, I hope.
Oil is up 2% which is significant. Its the first time in several years that it’s jumped so much.
He is really a despicable clown. This is not a behavior of a statesman… How deep did really the West sink? I think these people know they are losing, so they bark like crazy from the inability to fix the problem as Russia is not Iraq… it is truly sad…
Well, well well.. What have we here?
Nothing less than a very good motive for both the Skripal hoax and the false flag chemical weapons attack :
(From Zaid Fidel, at Syrian Perspective – exerpt)
“Folks, the reason for all this anti-Putin nonsense is the one fact that the Syrian government now holds over 11 British officers who were liaised with the terrorists in the Ghouta. They were captured 2 weeks ago by Syrian Army commandos and are being held in separate jails around the Damascus area inside heavily guarded military bases. The Brits want them badly before they are used to implicate England in the mess it helped to create in Syria. Damascus won’t budge on this issue and, evidently, the English are assuming Moscow is not putting pressure on Dr. Assad to release them to Old Blighty. Too bad. And they were caught out of uniform, such that they could be executed as spies under international law. Isn’t that a howler? “
To wear the Queen’s uniform is a mark of perfidy
Further, after Rotheram andTelford what does anyone who takes the Queen’s shilling think they are defending?
Out of all the UK’s perfidy over centuries, with tens of millions slaughtered, you choose ‘Rotheram and Telford’ for attention. Odd.
Eimear
That NATO officers have been captured in Syria has been reported by some websites, although not by all. I don’t know if the news is true or not. Perhaps The Saker can give us his opinion on the matter.
I hope that the Russians make no comment in reply, nor even to allude to this Tweet by President Trump.
It is better to say nothing, and just prepare countermeasures for the impending attack.
I am pretty sure you are correct. Russians have never been the yucking type. Blowing hot air is not their thing, they will act when time comes.
Bluff or not may be unrelated to the process…a stated intent followed by action against another, made loudly as “I am coming to kill you.” is designed to guarantee a fight…that’s why one would say such things. But perhaps T Man hopes Ivan is able to shoot down 100% of incoming… That’s dreaming. This is real world… There is no realistic prospect except to settle matters by force.
Dances with B says “…And so it was, even before the US Treasury announced its newest sanctions against Russian individuals and their companies for “malign activity around the globe”, that President-elect Vladimir Putin was preparing a successor cabinet of ministers on the principle that they would be organized as a headquarters staff for fighting a war on all fronts, without the option of negotiating terms with the enemy…”

Calling our representatives will do zero. Calling on God will do a lot.
We Christians, Muslims that want peace need to call God daily. Only God can defuse this demonic madness that is to descend, yet again, upon the Syrians and Russians.
We musn’t quit begging God to intervene.
And for the atheists among us, you are not orphans, you too can ask for the forces of good to intervene.
Every peace maker will be heard.

“Calling on God will do a lot.”
Why? – he already knows the outcome
Why? – he created everything knowing it would be a horrific mess.
Still, everything, no matter how vexing, is better than nothing.
Unless you lose your sense of humor.
Then you might as well pack it in and pull the plug.
Anonymous….
The God I speak of does not ” create horrific messes”.
The God I know has mercy, compassion and love for His Children.
With sincere prayers the outcome can be changed. This is Faith in God.
Nobody on Earth had such profound understanding of divine sovereignty than Jesus Christ. No Man ever prayed more fiercely or more effectively. He believed it worked. Then I must. I have no other choice. It is ingrained in me.
We pray because God commands us to pray for the Other.

God is light and in him is no darkness.
Creating moral agents unavoidably and tragically involved creating the conditions for evil to emerge, and presciently seeing this evil.
Yet, somehow, our moral choices are so important for God that, from His vantage point, evil is infinitely compensated by the overall and particular good of the present and future creation.
Evil may look radical and unhinged, but it is contained throughout the biblical narrative and eventually vanquished in Christ’s victory over death and hell.
The Serpent is as good as dead; it may not know it, but there’s a missile implacably catching up with it.
And, thank you Carmel by the Sea for reminding us that reminding us that worrying is futile when you can take action and pray.
“God is light and in him is no darkness”
Did your deity design the food chain?
I suppose that problem of suffering is all mankind’s origination (the weeds, eh) too (or maybe you, unbelievably, just think non-human lifeforms are non sentient).
In exactly the same way as the Skripal case – what a preposterous fabrication of “light”.
A bit of relief comes from Andrew Korybko. He is one of the few rational, analytical thinkers around and well respected. He says that Russia will not respond and that the events going on may just be a coordinated “face-saving” between two military superpowers.
“NO, NO, NO — RUSSIA WILL NOT SHOOT DOWN JUST “ANY” US MISSILES” (https://www.facebook.com/korybko/posts/10111842346958685)
“The US-Russian Arms Competition Might Stabilize Their Standoff In Syria” (http://www.eurasiafuture.com/2018/04/11/the-us-russian-arms-competition-might-stabilize-their-standoff-in-syria/)
It’s simple: Donald Trump is dangerously insane. The fate of the world is in the hands of a madman, and he is abetted by a whole tam of madmen, and women (don’t want to leave out crazy Nikki).
Her hand on top of his?
Dominance move?
Katherine
Lets try to analyze what Korybko is trying to communicate here.
-Two military superpowers don’t want to lose face and relevancy, thus they have to do something. The best way to do something would be to choreograph something mutually and be happy altogether.
-Neither one of the Superpowers want to reveal and test fully their arsenal, as this would show their weakness to the opponent. So we have to fight like the “fake” WWF. We may toss each other around, but we won’t hurt ourselves really.
-Trump will be allowed to send some missiles (like he did a year ago), mostly targeting may be some Iranian installations. Russia will turn a blind eye or at a minimum may neutralize a few missiles. There will not be a massive attack of hundreds and hundreds of cruise+tomahawks.
-After the Trump attack is over, Russia will go back to Syria’s Assad and tell him to get rid of the Iranians in Syria. (Emphasis here). Since the beginning Russia was not particularly happy with Iranians and especially the Kurdish Barzani’s defeat in the hands of Iran. It has cost them dearly. They had a billion dollar oil contract signed with the Kurds. Russia will also push Turkey not to go ahead with Manbij operation. Lavrov just mentioned it yesterday. Three party Federation (Kurdistan, Sunnistan, Alevistan) in Syria is something that Russia does NOT oppose, as long as there are no wahabists (Saudi head choppers) left in Syria, which could pose a danger to destabilize Russia in the future.
This is what I think. I may be totally off the track, but at least some of the events on the ground tells me that Korybko may very well be right.
P.S. Have you see the latest picture of Russian UN Ambassador with crazy Niki Haley? They were holding hands like two pals who are in love with each other. Weird to say the least. (https://themoscowtimes.com/news/us-russia-clash-at-un-over-chemical-weapons-attacks-in-syria-61121)
That actually sounds like a lot of divide and conquer propaganda to break up the newly formed partnership between Turkey,Russia and Iran.You and Korybko are wrong and among the many things you get wrong is the simple fact Turkey and Iran are far more trustworthy than USA and hence make better friends.
Of course it is 1235325-that is ‘Matthiew’s’ hasbara shtick.
Ask yourself this – If internal politics are mostly Kabuki theater between the parties involved while they are sucking the people dry couldn’t be that foreign and international politics are the same but on a planetary wide scale?
If this is true, then the Russians appear to be dangerously naive. Do they seriously believe that if Assad is removed their interests in Syria will be preserved? If Assad is removed, he will no doubt be replaced by a Zionist puppet. The US presence in Syria will be endorsed, the Golan heights will be permanently ceded to Israel and the Russians will be asked to abandon their bases in Syria and leave. Again, the implied apparent tacit acceptance at face value that the US is in Syria simply to “fight ISIS” and not to remove Assad is bizarre. That faith in the US has led to the extremely dangerous face-off between their respective military forces that now exists. Russia clearly inserted military forces into Syria with no thought about the possible consequences of direct conflict with the US military. The defeat of ISIS was just the prequel. Whatever the viewpoint of the Russians, the US does not regard them as “partners”. Moreover, Mr Korybko has often claimed that Russia and Israel are “allies”. He has never produced any evidence that Israel is an ally of Russia. I hope Mr Korybko is wrong.
The Moscow Times is a pro-West rag with barely a fig leaf to cover its trash. And Korybko is always wrong anyway, except when he spouts trivial pieties.
Hey, korybko inadvertently provides a handy reference source for what israel wants people in the colonies to think. So not a total loss. ;)
It looks like it might be a Pearl Harbor as someone said and a lot of barking after that and then silence. And silence.And silence. No more staged events,no need, and then the big provocations like Ukraine or Turkey attacking Greece and then like in a circle,Syria again.
It is getting ugly if the invaders jump over the cliff ( see Saker’s list,Point 2…..)
Stupid Trump,its not about the missiles,read Russia warnings carefully !
“Small Rocket Man” threatening International Peace and Se4curity again…..Ups! Sorry, this is POTUS :-)
Can someone pls answer this question..
If u had a missile defense unit which would u protect first? The citizens living in the city or the weapons depot located on the city outskirts
Odd, I’m familiar with that scenario as I saw it presented in an older video game titled, “Alpha Protocol”. The game player decides what to protect, people or weapons.
I saved the people because Jesus Christ has saved me.
How could you know – you haven’t died yet.
Acceptance of Christ’s ministry and faith in his Logos leaves no doubt in my mind. The corporal body is but a temporary vessel that contains our soul for the brief time we live on God’s Earth. Eternal life is forever if we worship our Father so that we may receive his blessings as we make the short journey to him.
Paul Joseph Watson with Syrian girl with an overview on the latest situation in Syria:
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=paul+joseph+watson
Perhaps the US want Russia to sink a US ship or two to rally western countries to apply maximum economic sanctions?
The US pulled out of Lebanon when the Marine barracks was bombed. American/Israeli missiles killed five Iranians. A thousand American troops have invaded East Syria and would be legitimate casualties of war.
The US prescence in Syria is like a pustule infecting the body of the nation. Will the threatened attack serve to finally lance the boil and allow the patient to recover? Or simply spread the infection about? Or entirely miss the mark and accomplish nothing?
Is our fate controlled by self infatuated tweeters? Or people of intelligence and morals? Perhaps neither…
Netanhyahoo,
Trump’s boss, needs to give an OK first!
Trump seems to be a mental patient (regardless what he’ll do)
When i read the very lasts tweets of Trump… i just cannot believe it ! My first thought was that his Twitter account has been hacked… and the second is that he’s really mad!!
https://s31.postimg.cc/9vzul186j/mad.jpg
Fedor, that is not the real Trump twitter account. The real one is here:
https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump
That is not Trump’s account. It is a parody account.
(not that the real Trump’s tweets don’t sound crazy enough, though)
Trump’s account is @realDonaldTrump
The account you quote is @RealDonaldTrFan Read the pinned tweet
Rumour has it Trump has taken up singing and going out on the town at night dressed in disguise….
You’re with Russia, or you’re with the terrorists. That’s all that needs to be directed at Trump. A few photos of the child beheaders with a smiling trump pasted in should suffice.
Tell zakharova to stop talking if she can’t perform this simple task. We’re not on trial. They are.
Perhaps one way for the hostilities to go away would be for the recently departed Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group to disappear in the middle of the Atlantic…
In the darkest hours I think this is a global show until a fullscale profiling of the population via Neuralnetwork AI can be achieved. Combined with abolition of cash and the everexpanding data sniffers, surveillance systems and linking everything to the individual, total control can become reality and the hierarchy will be cemented for a rather long time. It is well underway in many countries, it just needs to be linked.
It doesn’t make sense otherwise, except US/NATO elites are just insane.
LOL Wallstreet is celebrating because satellite images show Russian destroyers LEAVING PORT! LOL Of course they are leaving port they are preparing for war, that’s what ships DO!!!!
Yes, I saw that. Stocks are up because Wallstreet thinks Russian are decamping, when they are in fact preparing for battle..talk about misreading a situation.
Wall Street always loves a war. Profits to be made, or at least that’s how they think.
Let me guess, its the ‘defense’ stocks that are leading the upswing.
Just went and took a look. At this time, the Dow is down a bit. Rose early in the day, but has since given up those gains. Strangely, the page I checked doesn’t list ‘defense’ as a sector. But the do show “oil and gas” and “energy” leading with gains in those areas.
Missile maker Raytheon is up at least as much as the oil sector, and Lockheed Martin is doubling their gains.
Tillerson may have lost his job, but his Exxon stocks have made him some money today.
the old saying fits here ”A thief thinks every one steals”
Trump, sweetheart: Why would Assad kill his own people when he has their firm support? Believe me — Assad, like most battle-hardened, courageous, and intelligent statesmen has a much deeper understanding of what countries and peoples deserve forceful punishment, and Syrians are not among them.
But please do keep on tweeting. Eventually, you will be awarded the Nobel Litterature Prize (misspelling intentional).
Technically, Trump in this tweet did not claim that Assad has killed his own people.
The tweet says that Assad is an animal that kills gas.
Not being a crazy creationist, I have to agree that any human being is in fact an animal.
But oh, those poor, poor innocent gasses.
Yes, he is obviously Grammar Challenged
I have always said they should be called ‘Twits’, not ‘Tweets’
It would be a more accurate reflection of the platform and its users.
The environmentalists are out protesting pipelines, but the whole world is about to be made a radioactive wasteland and there is not a protester to be seen?
When Trump claimed to be the King of Debt, we should have known to whom he is indebted.
The mantra “All wars are bankers wars” is being forgotten here. The financial state of the west is at a similar position to that in 2007 before the collapse of Bear Sterns and the subsequent Global Financial Crisis. A major war will bury the financial mismanagement of the Western banks that would otherwise be exposed for all to see
those the gods want to destroy, they first make them mad.
IMO the west wants a full economic blockade of Russia, but they need a pretext. If Russia can be provoked into committing “an act of unprovoked aggression” such as shooting down a plane, that will be pretext they need, especially with the multiplier effect that comes from the media. Thus, Russia needs to either do nothing or respond with such force that the West cannot simply shift the war to the economic front while cooling things off militarily. Striking Saudi oil fields would be one way of delivering a devastating asymmetric response that might not lead to full-blown Armageddon.
How about Hard and fast and smarter?
OK, so Trump…why not try crowd control Israeli style with sniper squads at the border? Bet that would go over really well with the hypocritical liberals who are now your new “base” for this war. Bad boy, no Nobel Prize for you this year.
I warned ever since 2014 that we would see this time come. Not having stood up to the US in Ukraine paved the way to this day. Had Russia openly supported the anti-US forces in Ukraine at that time we wouldn’t be here now. Ukraine would have been saved and Crimea secured.Certainly Russia would have faced massive, instead of weaker sanctions.But those are coming now instead.Had they faced them then.They would be in a much more secure position today.We all knew back then we were headed to a new Cold War (today maybe a Hot War). But wishing that away,will never make it not happen. Realizing the obvious,accepting it,and working through it, was what should have been done.But that was then,and today is now.
If the US succeeds in cowing Russia in Syria,it won’t stop there.They will move on to Iran,and back to Ukraine and Crimea.The US wants to destroy all Russian influence in the world.To take Crimea and Donbass. And ultimately to dissect Russia into mini-states.A death by a “thousand cuts”.If Russia doesn’t understand that by now,then they truly are lost.No one (no one sane) wants war. But time has shown,over and over again.If you aren’t willing to fight one when you must.Then you are doomed to be enslaved.When dealing with psychopathic killers,appealing to their “common sense” is not a real policy. Unlike many I don’t believe just by striking the missiles,or even shooting down the planes,or sinking the ships.That will stop the US and their stooges,and that they will back down.I think unless the US and NATO are made aware that we will have WWIII,including the chance of nuclear war.Will they come to their senses (if even then).A good start would be for the Russian Nuclear forces to be put on “Red Alert”. And an ultimatum sent to the US,”Any attack on Russian Forces in Syria will be considered an act of war against the Russian Federation.And the Russian Federation will be at war with the United States,from that moment”.That might bring the West to reason.Maybe not though.And we would then be in the situation,that we are heading to now.But at least it would be a chance to avoid a war that is surely coming anyway.
One other point. I wouldn’t trust Turkey at all. We see today their FM attacking Assad.And echoing the West’s lies.At best we can hope for a neutral Turkey,waiting to see how the wind blows.But there is always a strong possibility,of a “stab in the back” at any moment.So hopefully Russia is on guard for that possibility.And must be prepared to destroy the Turkish military in lighting moves.
This is an ironic tweet in a way. Trump used to castigate Obama for publicly announcing his military plans.
The public announcement and positioning of forces is part of a negotiation – with guns. They want to force Putin to back down. Other means have failed so they mean to force the choice “attack Europe and be painted as Hitler or give in”. That’s why France and UK are involved (along with various other vermin and hanger oners). High stakes poker and we don’t know what cards each side is holding nor how far they are willing to bluff or follow through with the threats that have been made. Trump’s people still saying “no decision has been made” because they are still negotiating.
True, this is probably an attempt at a negotiation.

apparently, there were some brit tourists without up to date visas in damascus recently ,looking for bangers&mash,they were directed to douma as this is were londonish food is served best ,as there were some famous merchants from the city of london residing there, while there ,they met some wide eyed teens who were playing crickets with used chlorine caskets, apparently dropped by the barrel bomber of the president using evil putin’s helicopter. While having simple light hearted fun playing crickets with the local lads ,they were arrested by the evil regimes of animal assad.May is demanding that the animals stop torturing these innocent tourists and sent them merrily back to the empire.BBC will cover this once they are done with the russian spy poisoning case.
There are 2 women of influence regarding Trump, his wife and his daughter. (There is another, but I don’t know what she thinks or how influential she is).
Melania should naturally be able to influence him, but I think he listens to his daughter far more: all she has to do – via input from his jewish son-in-law & via Israel – is to cry to him and demand he do something to avenge the (alleged) killings, and that is when he loses sound judgement, instead basing his dumb words & actions on emotional – and wrong – input. With a bit of help from mueller against his lawyer & a ‘small matter’ of a fire at Trump towers…
Putin should know all this – has anybody heard/read of Putin being on the phone to Trump???
By the way, Farage’s thinking is right, while that useless excuse & his bullshit piers moron – sorry, morgan – gets it hopelessly wrong.
Trump is no longer in control. Here is a video of his body language analysis when he announced upcoming strikes in Syria. He is defeated and withdrawn. The coup is complete.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCAXoYEvuBM
He looks so much like the CIA pet Yeltsin, who was completely slaved to any manner of booze, jewish oligarchs and greed. Traitor, coward, zombie…
A nation that acts outside and against a unsc resolution is a rogue, criminal and illegal.
One thing I find shocking right now. Is the “seeming” lack of any big power diplomatic efforts to avoid war. Once the US has attacked Syria it will probably be too late.Now is the time to try an avoid that attack.I hear no voices from the Pope. I don’t hear anything from China,nor from India.I would think “especially” China would be making statements,calling for a meeting of Trump and Putin to try an diffuse this crisis before war breaks out.
I think Putin should act like nothing is going on.And publicly announce he thinks a summit with Trump is a good idea,and he accepts. Then submit a list of world cities that he would see as suitable.But cravat that acceptance,that it would have to be before conflict broke out.That would give Trump the ability to have an exit from the crisis.He could say since Putin wants to meet and discus the crisis,he was holding off on any action.He would be able to not lose face.And the people in the world that count would know that was really Putin trying to avoid WWIII.
The list of cities I would choose would be:
Asia:
Beijing (that way Xi could be the arbitrator).
New Delhi (make Modi look important)
Seoul (lend a hand to Moon)
Toyko (make Abe look important)
Hanoi (old friend to Russia)
Manila
Ankara
Europe:
St Petersburg
Vienna (neutral)
Rome (the new government isn’t unfriendly to Russia)
Helsinki (neutral)
Budapest (not unfriendly to Russia)
Prague (the President is fairly friendly to Russia)
Berlin (see how Merkel reacts)
Reykjavik (has history of US/Russian summits)
Belgrade (throw that in as a swipe at the US)
North America:
Havana (jab the US)
Mexico City (the Mexicans aren’t likely to cheer Trump)
South America:
Brazilia
Montevideo
Caracas (jab the US)
Buenos Aires
Santiago
Quito
Lima
Africa:
Cairo
Algiers
Capetown
Give the US this list and let them pick. Except for a couple,the US couldn’t have a reason not to like them.And none of them is likely to have big anti-Putin protests.Nor anti-Trump as well,though maybe more of those than anti-Putin ones.
The more I think about this bizarre tweet the more I have a weird felling that this is his message to both Russia and Syria to be prepared as the upcoming strike is now officially confirmed and pushed by Deep State. It will for sure happen in next few days, which with this tweet, gives both sides time to prepare.
Tom Luongo notes today that for the last several days Trump’s tweets have had a different tone, and word choice.

He speculates that Trump is no longer even writing his own tweets. Instead, they are being done by John Bolton. Luongo notes that “Trump’s tweets right after the latest announced attack rang false. The word choice was all wrong. Tone right. Words wrong.” and that “This morning’s tweets. The same way. “Gas killing Animal?” Who’s writing his material now? A third-grader?
I’d hate to burst everyone’s bubbles but, Russia will back down. She is not ready to face a three prong attack.

ROAD INDICATIONS SPARSE FOR EARTH
by Nedzad Maksumic
Bosnian poet and director of Lik Teatar
It was a fertile year for wheat like never before, it was all in abundance …
Those who were chronically ill and who longed for death, finally gave the soul to God with a smile.
In the days of great storms the sky was red. The rain brought with it the dust of the deserts beyond the sea. The old men said: there will be war! Nobody gave credit to their words. And nobody did nullify. For what could be done against prophecy! only we sang for whole days, until we were left without a voice, to be able to consume all the old songs, so that none would remain that was dirty in time.
1. When they see the first body in the street, people turn their heads, vomit and lose their senses. Feel the tremor first in the knees, then you miss the air, you turn your head. Cold water, light slaps, are helpful in these cases. If the unconscious does not come back, lay him on his back and lift his legs up in the air.
If the corpse of that day was a relative or a neighbor, do not allow it to approach and look at it. The wounds caused by the grenades are generally the cause of a new fainting. And there is not much time available. It is advisable to cry, it is good for the heart. But even for this there is so much time available.
2. If the city is in a state of siege, it is necessary to send the bravest to try to carry the opaque plastic bags for the corpses. If these do not come back, you have to wrap the dead in white sheets. It is not advisable to bury them without. This causes panic to spread and the fear of death easily becomes the fear of ending up buried in the same way.
3. The burial takes place at night, for security reasons. Therefore, before the burial, we must ascertain the identity of the deceased for good. In the case of torn bodies, it is necessary to establish precisely the pieces that belong to each body. If errors still occur, it is best to avoid admitting it later. So much for the dead is the same. If there are other parts of the body near the person who was buried, but other parts of the body have been found, and burial has already been done, the remains must not be thrown away, as hungry dogs usually gather there.
The best thing, if you have time and desire, is to collect all that is left in a bag and bury it on the surface near the tomb. We must be careful that our relatives do not notice it, because they conceive of the corpse as a whole and this fragmentation would represent a further painful frustration for them.
4. No one is mad in war. Or at least that can not be asserted against anyone. Many of those who were mad before the war show themselves very well in the war. As brave fighters, convinced of the ideas of their leaders.
5. No one in the war is intelligent. You do not have to believe anyone’s truth. The long disquisitions on the senselessness of the former professor’s war, in the blink of an eye, turn into a wild war griffin as soon as he learns that his child has died on the street.
6. Do not remember anything. Try to sleep without sleep. You must adorn yourself with amulets and have faith in the fact that they will help you. Have faith in any sign. Listen carefully to your belly. Act according to your feelings. If you think you do not have to walk that way, then go for another.
7. Do not be afraid of anything. Fear generates new fear. It stops you. You must firmly believe that you have been chosen to stay alive.
8. Do not leave half-finished work. Weld debts. You must be clean. Do not make new friends. Already with the old ones you will have enough worries.
9. Protect your memories, photographs, written evidence of the fact that you existed. If everything burns, if you lose everything, if you take everything … you will have to prove to yourself that once you were.
Heap everything in plastic bags, bury in the earth, walls in the walls, hide, and only your loved ones reveal the map to reach the treasure.
10. Do not tie yourself to things, to the earth, to the walls, to the houses, to the jewels, to the cars, to the objects of art, to the libraries … Turn everything that has a price into money. And yet, do not bind in any way to money. As soon as you can, exchange it with your freedom.
11. Used for the good of people. Always. Most of the time they do not deserve it, but you do it anyway. Do not expect any gratitude. Do not ask for those who do good. Do not bind to your actions.
12. Do not say what you think. Do not be so stupid to such an extent. Because as soon as you think you do not belong to them anymore. Do not be silent, because they can not think that you are thinking about something. Speak, so, just to talk.
13. If you run into danger, do not be brave, even driven by desperation. Try to survive. Do everything in your possibilities. Only you must be careful not to put others in jeopardy with your attempts. As long as you are not dead, you are alive. It seems understandable. Never take it off your head. If you have to sacrifice yourself, do it for the people you love, never do it, in any way, for ideas. Your sacrifice will be judged by others always incorrectly, according to their conscience and their perspective. The ideas will pass, they will ruin, they will become comical. If you stay alive, you’ll see how difficult it will be to continue believing in them.
14. Do not beg for any reason. Do not beg anyone. Not even if life is involved. It’s a matter of good taste. Just think about what it means to live on the same planet with a person who has saved your life.
16. You must not be surprised at anything. Of every possible prodigy. You do not have to be depressed by anything. Even before they were all like this, only the conditions were different from those of now. This is the first opportunity to test yourself. So many are disappointed by themselves that in comparison your disappointment is a trifle. If someone betrays you once, do not let them do it again.
17. Try to always be cautious. If you need a hole to repair yourself, dig it yourself. If someone else does it for you, the hole may turn out to be too small. 18. You do not have the right to be angry with anyone. And yet, you must not forget anything. When it’s all over, decide what you do not want to remember. If everything has passed. Do not forget the exams that some did not pass.
19. And yet, do not base yourself on this. Do not wait for the opportunity to reveal yourself. Revenge must be foreign to you. A question that belongs to others. If you survive, live for yourself and for those who survived with you.
20. And again, never believe that you are the Lord of Truth. Nobody is. It seemed to you this way. To another it seemed different. Keep the piece of your truth for yourself. It will only serve you. Waiver of the right to write to the right of the siege. Do not oppose the names of those dead who have been chosen as heroes. Do not hope to be able to fix something, not even an unresolved injustice. At that moment, when you saw the first corpse on the road, the post-war history was already written. Then they will only put the names of the people, the cities, the mountains, the bulwarks that have been gloriously defended and the ramparts that have fallen gloriously. There is no place here for your truth.
Now that you know all this, try to protect yourself and maybe save your head. If you can not, at least you will not get bored.
This perfectly reflects how I feel right now. Thank you for sharing it!
Translation of #Trump’s message to #Kremlin: #Russia drops its head and enters the ranks and we stop the economic war, either you have to take up the conflict and keep your promises, because we will go all the way .
This would explain the three tweets.But it looks more ‘boltonesque’ than trumpiste.

Luongo: “The Coup Is Complete – Trump Is Done”

As the U.S. stands poised to strike Syria in yet another display of its unbridled militarism, it is the Unlimited Imperialists along the lines of Alexander, Rome, Napoleon and Hitler who are in charge, argues Francis Boyle in this commentary.

The attack should happen during the night from thursday to friday,as they only requested a 72 hours window for civil aviation embargo at Eurocontrol.Blocking the air trafic more would be very ‘uncivilized’ coming from these human values,freedon and democracy lovers.
This is not a joke….
CIA Chief Declares End of ‘Soft Policy’ Toward Russia
https://sputniknews.com/us/201804121063465472-cia-chief-declares-russia-soft-policy-over/
Ha…. got to be the new formula for any CIA nervous ‘novice’ agent to be on… viagra!
The Russians need to send out as much threats as possible !!
They need to tell the world on every type of media that they are capable of striking US ships and their air-force and are willing to escalate to the point of wiping out the entire continental US.
….the threats need to be big !……enough of this civilized low key modest way of communicating.
US generals should be pushed to the point of pissing in their pants before carrying out orders.
They have to know that their execution of orders will be met with American bodies being sent in plastic bags.
I personally have absolute zero respect and completely loath this evil mercenary US military who kill and massacre innocent people all over the world. The military needs to pay a big price, from the soldiers all the way to the generals.
The next war will not be fought on Russian soil that’s what Putin promised sometimes back. Looks like it will be fought in Syria. If Russia does not fight here then she will be sent back within her boarders and then definitely the next war will be on Russian soil. The Russians must be knowing this and I doubt they will back down at any cost. All we can do is wait patiently and see how all these unfolds.
It’s difficult to keep up with the “now it’s on, now it’s off” messages. Constantly reversing positions (confused lying) is Trump’s style.
