Imperialist Deep State agents plot to derail Trump’s Peace Train

War is a Racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. It has been estimated by statisticians and economists that the war yielded $16 Trillion in Profits. That is how the 21,000 Billionaires and millionaires got that way. This $16 Trillion in Profits is not to be sneezed at. It is quite a tidy sum. ~~ Smedley D Butler

The Deep State’s agents who infest the various Stink Tanks who advocate for endless war with the enemy du jour have become mighty rich and will not allow the taxpayer funded spigot to be shut off.  There’s gold in them thar war hills.  Since George W. Bush was installed by five crooked partisans on the Supreme Court which has become an extension of the RNC and DNC, America has been involved in endless, non-declared wars across the globe.  With each RAND Corporation instigated conflict the profits rise exponentially and America sinks deeper into a sea of debt. 

President Donald J. Trump is a threat to those ill-gotten gains.  Trump has rolled out his Peace Train and is gathering steam as he rumbles down the tracks.  Now the Deep States agents are dynamiting the tracks with endless attacks based on lies to derail the peace train.  From Consortium News:

Evidence Will Probably Never Be Produced in Indictments of ‘Russian Agents’

The indictment of 12 Russian ‘agents,’ which included no collusion with Trump’s team, is essentially a political and not legal document because it is almost certain the U.S. government will never have to present any evidence in court, reports Joe Lauria.

Charges against 12 Russian intelligence agents for allegedly hacking emails from the Democratic Party during the 2016 presidential election were announced by the U.S. Justice Department on Friday at the very moment President Donald Trump was meeting Queen Elizabeth II at Windsor Castle and just days before a summit between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki.

A central claim of Russia-gate has been that the Russian government with help from the Trump campaign stole emails from the Democratic Party and the Hillary Clinton campaign and then gave those emails to WikiLeaks for publication to damage Clinton’s quest for the White House.

Until Friday however, the investigation into the allegations had produced no formal indictment of Russian government interference in the election. Like previous U.S. government accusations against Russia for alleged election meddling, the indictment makes assertions without providing evidence. Under U.S. law, indictments are not considered evidence. And it is highly unlikely that the government will ever have to produce any evidence in court…

Clinging to ‘Collusion’

The lack of evidence that the Trump campaign was colluding with Russia has never stopped Democrats and their media outlets from believing unnamed U.S. intelligence sources for two years about such collusion. “Collusion” is the title of a best-selling book about the supposed Trump-Russia conspiracy to steal the election, but such a charge is not to be found…

But even after Friday’s indictments failed to charge anyone from Trump’s team, the Democratic media continued to insist there was collusion… If Russia is indeed guilty of remotely hacking the emails it would have had no evident need of assistance from anyone on the Trump team, let alone a public call from Trump on national TV to commence the operation…

The timing of the announcement was clearly intended to embarrass Trump as he was meeting the Queen and to undermine his upcoming meeting with Putin on July 16. The indictments may also have been meant to embarrass Russia two days before the World Cup final to be held in Moscow.

Pressure was immediately brought on Trump to cancel the summit in light of the indictments, which may have been the main aim in the timing of their announcement. “Glad-handing with Vladimir Putin on the heels of these indictments would be an insult to our democracy,” Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said in a statement less than an hour after the indictments were announced. “President Trump should cancel his meeting with Vladimir Putin until Russia takes demonstrable and transparent steps to prove that they won’t interfere in future elections,” Schumer said.

With no apparent irony, The New York Times reported, “The timing of the indictment … added a jolt of tension to the already freighted atmosphere surrounding Mr. Trump’s meeting with Mr. Putin. It is all but certain to feed into the conspiratorial views held by the president and some of his allies that Mr. Mueller’s prosecutors are determined to undermine Mr. Trump’s designs for a rapprochement with Russia.”

The Russian government on Friday strongly denied the charges. In a statement, the Foreign Ministry called the indictments “a shameful farce” that was not backed up by any evidence. “Obviously, the goal of this ‘mud-slinging’ is to spoil the atmosphere before the Russian-American summit,” the statement said.  The Ministry added that the 12 named Russians were not agents of the GRU.

“When you dig into this indictment … there are huge problems, starting with how in the world did they identify 12 Russian intelligence officers with the GRU,” said former CIA analyst Larry Johnson in an interview with Consortium News. Johnson pointed out that the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency was not allowed to take part in the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment on alleged interference by the GRU.

Only hand-picked analysts from the FBI, the NSA and the CIA were involved. “The experts in the intelligence community on the GRU … is the Defense Intelligence Agency and they were not allowed to clear on that document,” Johnson said…

The indictment makes clear the evidence of an alleged hack of the DNC and DCCC computers did not come from the FBI, which was never given access to the computers by the DNC, but instead from the private firm CrowdStrike, which was hired by the DNC. It is referred to as Company 1 in the indictment…

Dimitri Alperovitch, a CrowdStrike co-founder, is also a senior fellow at the anti-Russian Atlantic Council think tank…  CrowdStrike claimed the alleged Russian intelligence operation was extremely sophisticated and skilled in concealing its external penetration of the server. But CrowdStrike’s conclusion about Russian “fingerprints” resulted from clues that would have been left behind by extremely sloppy or amateur hackers–or inserted intentionally to implicate the Russians…

Other apparent sources for information in the indictment are intelligence agencies, which normally create hurdles in a criminal prosecution…  If the U.S. invoked the states secret privilege so that classified evidence could not be revealed in court a conviction before a civilian jury would be jeopardized.

Such a trial is extremely unlikely however. That makes the indictment essentially a political and not a legal document because it is almost inconceivable that the U.S. government will have to present any evidence in court to back up its charges. This is simply because of the extreme unlikelihood that arrests of Russians living in Russia will ever be made…

It is not only allies of Trump, as the Times thinks, who believe the timing of the indictments, indeed the entire Russia-gate scandal, is intended to prevent Trump from pursuing detente with nuclear-armed Russia.  Trump said of the indictments that, “I think that really hurts our country and it really hurts our relationship with Russia. I think that we would have a chance to have a very good relationship with Russia and a very good chance — a very good relationship with President Putin.”

There certainly appear to be powerful forces in the U.S. that want to stop that.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Wall Street rushed in behind Boris Yeltsin and Russian oligarchs to asset strip virtually the entire country, impoverishing the population. Amid widespread accounts of this grotesque corruption, Washington intervened in Russian politics to help get Yeltsin re-elected in 1996. The political rise of Vladimir Putin after Yeltsin resigned on New Year’s Eve 1999 reversed this course, restoring Russian sovereignty over its economy and politics.

That inflamed American hawks whose desire is to install another Yeltsin-like figure and resume U.S. exploitation of Russia’s vast natural and financial resources. To advance that cause, U.S. presidents have supported the eastward expansion of NATO and have deployed 30,000 troops on Russia’s border.

In 2014, the Obama administration helped orchestrate a coup that toppled the elected government of Ukraine and installed a fiercely anti-Russian regime. The U.S. also undertook the risky policy of aiding jihadists to overthrow a secular Russian ally in Syria. The consequences have brought the world closer to nuclear annihilation than at any time since the Cuban missile crisis in 1962.

In this context, the Democratic Party-led Russia-gate appears to have been used not only to explain away Clinton’s defeat but to stop Trump — possibly via impeachment or by inflicting severe political damage — because he talks about cooperation with Russia.

Yep, the indictments are just another load of crap delivered by Mueller to derail the Trump Peace Train.  The indictments are thin gruel with no evidence, just unsubstantiated allegations.  This is really an indictment of the highly politicized America’s intelligence agencies ushered in by George W. Bush and Barack Obama.  If the intelligence agencies were serious about investigating collusion in the 2016 Presidential election they’d be looking at the DNC, the CIA and the Queen’s MI6.  From Black Agenda Report:

Excerpt:

Freedom Rider: British Collusion and Criminality

    

“Collusion continues not between Trump and Russians, but between intelligence agencies, the media and American politicians with hidden agendas.”

Most people believe that Donald Trump owes his presidency to Russian activity because they have been told this repeatedly for the past two years. There was indeed high level collusion taking place in the 2016 presidential campaign but it wasn’t carried out by Trump. It was Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee who acted in concert with intelligence assets in the United States and in the United Kingdom.

The British government continues to manufacture false flag incidents, force international agencies to do its bidding, and push for regime change in Syria. Having failed to defeat Trump, they kept up the campaign to cover their tracks, escape blame for Hillary Clinton’s failure, and maintain the foreign policy status quo.

A law firm retained by the Democratic National Committee paid for the opposition research undertaken by former MI6 agent, Christopher Steele. Steele produced a dossier alleging that Trump was compromised by the Russian government and shopped it to the FBI, CIA, influential journalists and politicians like Senator John McCain. The dossier was used to obtain a FISA surveillance warrant against Trump aide Carter Page but the DNC connection was not disclosed to the judge.

“Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee acted in concert with intelligence assets in the United States and in the United Kingdom.”

Steele isn’t the only British spook in the story. A man named Richard Dearlove, former head of MI6, is a business partner of Stefan Halper, a CIA asset who also spied on Donald Trump. Halper had contacts with Page and George Papadopoulos, two men now under indictment by Robert Mueller’s special investigation. The lesser lights of the Trump team were no match for seasoned professionals who get protection from the New York Times. The Times calls Halper “an FBI informant ” and tries to claim that is somehow different from being a spy…

While Russia is vilified at every turn the British government conducts very public and very shady business which could conceivably impact both countries. The case of former Russian double agent Sergei Skripal has the British government’s finger prints all over it. There is no reason for Russia to poison a former spy whom they had swapped eight years earlier.

The only logical conclusion is that the act was carried out with the goal of embarrassing Vladimir Putin and creating a possible pretext for war. The Skripal case was soon followed by questionable reporting of yet another chemical weapons attack in Syria which resulted in a short lived United States, British and French attack on that country…

It is the British who use lies and trickery to sway public opinion into supporting a wider war in Syria. Three months after the Skripals were attacked another pair of Britons are said to have been poisoned with Novichok, a chemical weapon originally produced by Russia but which now can be made anywhere. One of the victims died and the claims of Russian involvement have suddenly become much more dangerous.

This second poisoning took place less than one week after the UK pressured the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) to take on the role of judge and juror. No longer will the OPCW just determine if chemical weapons have been used, but they will also be tasked with assigning blame, too. Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson proudly stated, “The U.K. has led the diplomatic efforts to secure this action.”

Collusion continues not between Trump and Russians, but between intelligence agencies, the media and American politicians with hidden agendas. While the public are fed a steady diet of tales of an unfree press in Russia, it is the British press which has been censored by its government…

While Americans are given endless misinformation making Russia look like the foreign interloper in their nation’s affairs it is actually the British deep state that is well connected to American media and politicians.

The Russiagate purveyors constantly say, “Connect the dots.” If there are any dots to connect they run from the DNC to former MI6 spies to CIA assets to Russian double agents to American intelligence to alleged chemical weapons attacks used to justify war or to stop the upcoming Trump and Putin summit. It is all being used to further the now obligatory anti-Russian propaganda that is pervasive on both sides of the Atlantic.

Trump would be wise to revisit his campaign stance on the boondoggle known as NATO.  That relic is a complete and total waste of money.  NATO is a destabilizing force in the world and there is no place for it in today’s world, especially for peace-loving nations.  From Lew Rockwell.com:

Excerpt:

No Need For Nato

A NATO summit approaches that brings Donald Trump to Europe and then on to these shores, and brings the usual clamour for more of the taxpayers’ money to be given to arms manufacturers. 

Yet NATO is a demonstrably useless institution. It’s largest ever active military deployment, for 12 years in Afghanistan, resulted in military defeat throughout 80% of the country, the installation of a pocket regime whose scrip does not run further than you can throw the scrip, and a vast outflow of heroin to finance the criminal underworld throughout NATO countries…

In invading Afghanistan and boosting the heroin warlords, NATO countries destabilised themselves. 

NATO’s second biggest military operation ever was the attack on Libya, where NATO carried out an incredible 14,200 bombing sorties using high explosive munitions and devastated Libya’s infrastructure and entire cities. Here is Sirte after NATO “liberation”.

The direct result of the devastation of Libya and destruction of its government infrastructure has been the massive untrammeled exodus of migrants, especially from West Africa, through Libya and across the Mediterranean on boats. This has not only led to the appalling exploitation and tragic death of many migrants, it has fundamentally weakened the governments and indeed governing public ethos of European NATO member states and led to a right wing populist surge throughout much of the EU.

In short, in destroying Libya, NATO members destabilised themselves.  Now NATO is focusing once more on the original “threat” it was supposed to combat, a Russian invasion of Western Europe.  Russia has absolutely no intention of invading Western Europe. The very notion is ludicrous. It does not require NATO to deter a threat that does not exist…

Russia does have disproportionate military power for its size – but not that much. Russia’s defence spending is one sixth that of NATO defence spending, though it is slightly more efficient because, despite corruption, less of Russia’s defence spending goes into the pockets of arms company shareholders, lobbyists, politicians and other fatcats than happens in the West. But that cannot outweigh Russia’s massive economic disadvantage. Nothing can. Russia is very well placed to defend itself, but in no position to attack major powers.

Russia’s foreign policy successes – in Crimea, Syria and Georgia – have been based not on massive military strength – the NATO powers far outweigh Russia there – but simply on much better statecraft. And NATO, for all the trillions western taxpayers spend on it, has been unable to do anything about it…

In fact if anybody has not worked out by now that our famed nuclear arsenal is a chocolate teapot, then they have not been paying attention. In none of the recent foreign policy crises – including the North Korean nuclearisation issue – nobody, anywhere, ever has mentioned Trident missiles as part of the solution. They are utterly worthless.

The threat of a Russian attack on NATO itself is non-existent. The EU is not officially a military alliance but the idea that any part of EU territory could be subject to invasion without the rest of the EU reacting is a political impossibility...  So NATO’s role of defence against Russia is otiose, and its wider military adventures have been a total disaster…

Ahh, yes the neocon war mongers are going crazy.  They will do anything to derail Trump’s Peace Train stop in Helsinki to meet with Vladimir Putin.  The closer the meeting gets the more unhinged the neocon controlled media gets.  They are completely coming off the rails.  From Tyler Durden:

Excerpt:

Neocons Panic as Trump-Putin Meeting Could Mark Close of Syrian Proxy War

They're raging, warning an pleading -- it all looks very desperate

When multiple op-ed pieces appear in the pages of the New York Times, Washington Post, and the CFR-owned Foreign Affairs authored by neocons simultaneously pleading with Trump Don't Get Out of Syria(!) all within the same week, this is typically an indicator that the president is about to do something good.

Trump is set to meet with Putin one-on-one this coming Monday in Helsinki after a contentious NATO summit and a sufficiently awkward visit with Theresa May, and mainstream pundits' heads are exploding. 

The Post's Josh Rogin warns, Trump and Putin may be about to make a terrible deal on Syria, and Susan Rice suddenly emerges from obscurity and irrelevance to say in the Times that Trump Must Not Capitulate to Putin while urging the administration not to "prematurely withdraw United States forces [from Syria], thus thus ceding total victory to Russia, Mr. Assad and Iran." From North Korea to Afghanistan to Syria to Ukraine, Rice advises the typical regime change script of "harsh additional sanctions" anywhere the dictates of Washington are not strictly adhered to.

Similarly, Eli Lake links together the main regime change wars begun under Obama while lamenting their potential winding down as a result of Putin and Trump meeting as indicative of living in "some alternate universe". "The price of Russian cooperation in Syria cannot be U.S. capitulation on Crimea," Lake writes, and further calls such a possibility "the most dangerous possible outcome."

The Kagan-led neocon think tank ISW, meanwhile, is outraged(!) the administration appears to lack "the will to use" America's military might to counter Assad, Iran, and Russia, saying "the United States should invest now in building leverage for future decisive action."

And then there's Senator Lindsey Graham's meltdown on Twitter this week in reaction to both the Syrian Army victoriously raising the national flag over Daraa and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu telling President Vladimir Putin during a summit that Israel has no problem with Assad staying, so long as Israel can preserve "freedom of action" if attacked.

In a significant change of posture toward Damascus, Netanyahu told reporters in Moscow, “We haven't had a problem with the Assad regime, for 40 years not a single bullet was fired on the Golan Heights.”

In the past months there's been widespread reporting on a "secret" deal brokered between Russia, Israel, and Syria, which reportedly involves the Syrian Army agreeing to keep Iranian forces away from the ongoing successful campaign along the Israeli and Jordanian borders, especially the contested Golan Heights.

Netanyahu now says, fresh off his Moscow visit, that Putin agreed to restrain Iran in Syria, but that ultimately Assad will take back all of Syria. The New York Times reports this hugely significant acknowledgement and surprising change of tune from the Israeli PM:

Israel, he said, did not object to President Bashar al-Assad’s regaining control over all of Syria, a vital Russian objective, and Russia had pushed Iranian and allied Shiite forces “tens of kilometers” away from the Israeli border…

The neocon pundits' last hope for military intervention in Syria has remained Netanyahu, and to see him fold must feel like a swift unexpected punch in the stomach, but more crucially the Syrian diplomatic cards have fallen in place just days before Monday's Trump-Putin meeting.

President Assad has long vowed to liberate "every inch" of sovereign Syrian territory, something which but two years ago appeared impossible, yet which now looks increasingly inevitable. Should the Trump-Putin summit result in a green light that ensures Moscow and Damascus remain in the driver's seat and set the terms for Syria's stabilization, we could be witnessing the final diplomatic chapter in this dark seven-year long proxy war.

However, Trump continues to be urged from various corners of the beltway foreign policy establishment to salvage and preserve what he can of the open-ended US troop presence in eastern Syria: the US must "preserve its interests in the conflict, namely... constraining Iranian influence in the country" as one Foreign Policy essay argues.

For months now, Trump has talked of US military withdrawal from the country — which the Pentagon in public statements has put at over some 2000 troops — a proposal which hawks within his administration have pushed back against every time.

And then there's the clearly observable pattern that seems to repeat whenever the administration announces it is poised to pull out of Syria. Indeed it seems to occur every time the Syrian Army is on a trajectory of overwhelming victory: an ill-timed and strategically nonsensical mass chemical attack on civilians supposedly ordered by Assad — inevitably giving the West an open door for military intervention, new rounds of crippling sanctions, and yet more international media condemnation heaped on Damascus…

Should Trump and Putin ultimately come to a lasting settlement on the Syria issue which results in US troop withdrawal from Syria, will the international proxy war come to a close?  Or will we witness yet another last minute "mass casualty event" or other other provocation that pulls the US, Israel, and Russia into yet deeper direct military confrontation?

Hopefully Trump will not be bamboozled by this political circus and will keep the Peace Train on the tracks.  America has nothing to lose and everything to gain by boarding the Trump Peace Train.   From Russia Insider:

Excerpt:

All Aboard the Trump Peace Train! He's Taking the Fight to the War Party

He wants out of Korea, Germany, Syria – and NATO!

"You have to be blind not to see that Trump wants to radically reduce the US presence overseas – and you’re part of the problem if you find that worrisome"  Justin Raimondo

There’s never a dull moment with the Trump administration, which means: never a moment of rest for the War Party. Trump keeps throwing fast balls at the pundits and assembled “experts,” and they keep striking out, bigtime, as the ball whizzes past their heads and lands, with a thwack!, in the catcher’s mitt.

“Steee-rike one!” 

First it was the meet up with Korean leader Kim Jong-un. The media and their attendant policy wonks weren’t ready for Singapore, where the President gave Kim a glimpse of what his country could achieve if it would only come in from the cold and allow the warm embrace of the international community. And while the North Koreans have repeatedly pledged to give up their nukes, that’s not good enough for the universally negative “experts,” some of whom aren’t experts at all but merely former bloggers with history degrees.

Now they’re citing fake news from NBC claiming that no less than eight anonymous “US officials” have stated that the North Koreans are covertly building up their nukes at a super-duper top secret site and it’s all a commie trick to – do what? Provoke an attack from an easily provoked Trump? Start World War III? Commit mass suicide?

The icing on the cake is that the author of this nonsense is none other than Ken Dilanian, the former national security reporter for the Los Angeles Times, who was fired for having a “collaborative relationship” with the CIA. Yes, that got him fired from the Times, but it’s a qualification rather than a negative as far as NBC is concerned.

“Steee-rike two!”

If the Singapore summit hit them in an unexpected place – who knew that, months after the exchange of bloodcurdling threats between Trump and Kim, they’d be shaking hands and making peace? – then the Helsinki summit with Putin is the knockout punch. And the howls of pain arising from our hateful warmongering media, the Democratic party politicians they’re in thrall to, and the phony “human rights” scamsters, are getting louder by the minute. We should all revel in their misery.

Trump campaigned on making peace with Russia: he has a mandate to do so. That, however, matters little to the “intelligence community” and their media camarilla, which is up in arms at the very prospect of a Russo-American partnership for peace. The national security bureaucracy and the laptop bombardiers who inhabit Think-tank World have a vested interest in maintaining a cold war status quo that should’ve ended when the Berlin Wall fell. They are horrified by Trump’s “America First” foreign policy views, and they are out to stop him by any means necessary – because his victory meant the end of their worldview and their careers.

Our “allies” are in a panic because the free ride is over – that’s why the German Marshall Fund is utilizing their extensive propaganda assets to mobilize elite opinion against the President. This is the kind of foreign “meddling” that’s okay with our media, and, apparently, fine with law enforcement…

Which is why I was thrilled to see that Trump is raising the issue of the 35,000 American troops in Germany: what, he wants to know, are they doing there? And how much is it costing us? The Washington Post sullenly reports:

“The Pentagon is analyzing the cost and impact of a large-scale withdrawal or transfer of American troops stationed in Germany, amid growing tensions between President Trump and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, according to people familiar with the work.

“The effort follows Trump’s expression of interest in removing the troops, made during a meeting earlier this year with White House and military aides, U.S. officials said. Trump was said to have been taken aback by the size of the US presence, which includes about 35,000 active-duty troops, and complained that other countries were not contributing fairly to joint security or paying enough to NATO.

“Word of the assessment has alarmed European officials, who are scrambling …”

Oh yes, they’re scrambling, the poor dears: not just our gormless “allies,” but also their amen corner in Washington, which is going into an outright meltdown –- and what a glorious sight it is!

“Steee-rike three!”

Finally an American president has woken up to the fact that World War II, not to mention the cold war, is over: there’s no need for US troops to occupy Germany.  Vladimir Putin isn’t going to march into Berlin in a reenactment of the Red Army taking the Fuehrer-bunker – but even if he were so inclined, why won’t Germany defend itself?

So let’s take inventory of our President’s recent pronouncements:

He wants US troops out of Germany.  He wants US troops out of Korea, or else he wants Seoul to start paying the bill.  He wants US troops out of Syria – and this is bound to come up during the Helsinki summit.

He wants out of NATO, telling our “allies” at the recent G-7 summit that “NATO is as bad as NAFTA. It’s much too costly for the US…”

I don’t care about his other views, quite frankly. They are irrelevant. Because if and when he implements his “isolationist” policies, the size, scope, and expense of government will radically shrink. That’s because the rationale for big government will be very much weaker: the political class won’t have the “national security” angle to justify universal surveillance and huge taxpayer outlays to foreign ingrates.

If he manages to lift the burden of empire from the weary shoulders of the American people, the federal government will get smaller despite the intent of the Trump administration or its successors: the process will be as near to automatic as any human activity can possibly be.

You have to be blind not to see that Trump wants to radically reduce the US presence overseas – and you’re part of the problem if you find that worrisome. It’s time to get on the Trump peace train – because it’s riding into history whether you like it or not.

All aboard!  The Trump Peace Train is scheduled to roll into Helsinki on Monday and let’s hope peace prevails.  The Neocon Terrorists that seized control of America in 2000 will be just a bad memory.  Drain the neocon swamp, Mr. President.  Gain steam and roll on down the tracks.  Make way for the Trump Peace Train.  God speed, Mr. President.

The British Empire and the Deep State wages war on Donald Trump

Forget the baseless allegations by the Deep State in America that Russia interfered with the American presidential election, the Shadow Government in Britain has waged a war against Donald Trump and will stop at nothing to remove him from office.  The color revolutions waged across Eurasia and the Middle East by the CIA have now come to America and the West.  FromLaRouchepac:

Excerpt:

British Frantic To Destroy Trump, Save the Empire

The Soros-directed, "color revolution" process has now hit the USA in full force. 

The mass demonstrations against President Trump, and the 24/7 news coverage denouncing him, are not only hypocritical, but demonstrate that the British are becoming hysterical that they are losing control of the United States.  Since the death of Franklin Roosevelt, and especially since the British assassination of John F. Kennedy, the British system has taken firm hold in Washington.

While Wall Street seized full control over the nation's economic policy, using British "free trade" to replace Hamiltonian directed credit, the British also used the U.S. as the "dumb giant" to wage colonial wars on behalf of London and Wall Street, from Vietnam to the perpetual wars against sovereign, peaceful nations in the Mideast under both Bush and Obama. This sustained the imperial division of the world into East vs. West, leading to Obama's final efforts to provoke a U.S./NATO war against Russia and China.

Now Donald Trump threatens to overturn the entire imperial system: establishing a partnership with Russia to defeat the terrorist scourge (itself a creation of the British and their controlled monarchy in Saudi Arabia); ending the free-trade policies which saw the West shut down its own industries while exploiting cheap labor in the underdeveloped nations; ending the anti-growth and anti-science hoax of global warming; and promising to restore the American System of economics through Glass-Steagall to rebuild American industry, infrastructure, and scientific research…

Now, the British "Stop the War Coalition" is leading protests against the very person who has stopped Obama's perpetual warfare! British agent George Soros is funding mass demonstrations against Trump in the U.S. for supposedly being anti-Muslim, while supporting Obama, who killed tens of thousands of Muslims and drove millions of Muslims out of their homes…

The most serious error made by the new President -- his choice of the anti-Glass-Steagall (and serial forecloser) Steven Mnuchin to be his Treasury Secretary -- was disrupted today by a boycott by the Democrat members of the Senate Finance Committee.

By refusing to attend the Committee meeting scheduled to vote on the Mnuchin confirmation, they denied a "bipartison" vote, as required, thus indefinitely postponing the vote and giving time for further efforts to block the confirmation… Given Mnuchin's 15-year association with George Soros, Republicans should also understand why his confirmation must be stopped…

For years, the Anglo-American oligarcy and their press whores have peddled the lie that Russian and Chinese "aggression" must be stopped to save "western values," when in fact Russia and China have taken the lead in fostering the historic but discarded values of Western civilization -- providing security and prosperity for their own people, and, through the New Silk Road process, taking that security and prosperity to the rest of the world.

The U.S., meanwhile, has fallen into mass unemployment and underemployment, the collapse of manufacturing, an unprecedented drug epidemic, and profound cultural decadence, while under President Obama the nation has been in perpetual warfare, with Obama proudly drawing up a drone "kill list" on a weekly basis. Was this "Western values?"

Yes, the “press whores” have been working overtime to destroy President Donald J. Trump peddling lies about Trump and his family.  After Trump took his case for protecting the American people from false flag terror attacks directly to the people over the weekend in Florida the media whores screeched “liar” in unison.  The loudest voice has been the Soros funded Democracy Now who promoted “Not my president day” protests.

Trump Doubles Down on Lies About Sweden

President Trump is doubling down on his false claim that Sweden is struggling with immigration-related security problems, after he faced widespread criticism and ridicule for appearing to invent a terrorist attack in Sweden while speaking at a 2020 campaign rally in Melbourne, Florida, on Saturday.

President Donald Trump: "Here’s the bottom line: We’ve got to keep our country safe. You look at what’s happening. We’ve got to keep our country safe. You look at what’s happening in Germany. You look at what’s happening last night in Sweden. Sweden. Who would believe this? Sweden."

So what happened in Sweden that prompted Trump to tell a crowd of thousands of supporters that Sweden has experienced unprecedented terror attacks?  From Russia Today:

Dramatic footage shows cars ablaze in Swedish riot (VIDEOS)

Cars were set on fire, police were pelted with stones and civilians were beaten up as violent clashes broke out between rioters and law enforcement in the Stockholm district of Rinkeby on Monday night.  Police say seven or eight vehicles were torched in the suburb of Sweden’s capital following unrest in the area, which has a high immigrant population. It’s unclear if any immigrants were involved in the incident.

The violence was reportedly instigated after police arrested a wanted person at a metro station in Rinkeby at around 8pm. Police say between 30-50 people were involved in the disturbances.

Video footage from the night of destruction shows large crowds gathered and several cars engulfed in flames. Firefighters can also be seen tackling the blazing wrecks as strong winds whip flames in all directions.  A police officer was injured during the fracas, forcing law enforcement to fire several warning shots, according to Swedish public service broadcaster SVT.  No injuries were reported as a result of the shots.

Benjamin Dousa, a Moderate politician from Rinkeby, told Expressen.se that riots and car burnings are part of everyday life in the district.  “On average, we have one riot in the month, a car fire per day, and the most shootings across the country,” he claimed, before alleging that there are between 800-1000 professional criminal youth in Rinkeby and some surrounding areas.  An investigation into the outbreak of violence and the attacks against the officers is underway. An investigation into the outbreak of violence and the attacks against the officers is underway.

You won’t hear that news in the mainstream media in America, no you will just hear Trump is a liar.  The mainstream media is owned by billionaires who have hatched a plot to impeach or assassinate President Trump before the new world order is crushed in favor of a more just, and democratic American led world order.  From Antiwar.com

The Foreign Plot to Oust Trump

It stretches from London to Langley to Kiev – and several points in between

Oh, the irony! Amid all the accusations of foreign interference in the election, the first solid indication of it showed up with the publication of a slanderous unsourced memo written by a “former” British intelligence agent accusing Donald Trump of various “perversions” and claiming he’s vulnerable to blackmail by those evil Russkies. The “ex”-MI6 agent, one Christopher Steele – how’s that for a name straight out of a James Bond novel? – works for “Orbis Business Intelligence, Ltd.,” a high-toned London-based “private” spook agency usually hired by big corporations out to spy on their competitors or those pesky environmentalists.

According to press reports, Steele worked undercover in Russia for several years, cultivating a wide network of contacts who, today, regularly feed him information. It was through these contacts that he concocted a series of memos first reported by CNN and later published by BuzzFeed, the product of rumor, gossip, and innuendo – in short, the stuff “raw” intelligence is made of.

News accounts also report that it was Fusion GPS, a Democratic “research” firm that got the initial contract, and was paid by the Republican wing of the “Never Trump” movement…

To begin with, anyone who thinks Orbis is a “private” intelligence agency, totally separate from MI6, the legendary British intelligence service, is delusional. These agencies… are simply extensions of the parent organization, MI6, which is, itself, intertwined with similar spook outfits in the US and throughout Europe... 

When Trump began talking about how “obsolete” NATO is, their alarm bells began to go off. The alliance is the bedrock of the international security apparatus that nurtures and rewards this crowd, and the anchor of the expansionist agenda that envisions Ukraine and Georgia as the next entrants in the anti-Russian grand coalition.

Those alarm bells started screaming when Trump took up with Nigel Farage, the UKIP leader and spokesman for the rising nationalist anti-EU movement: the Brexit campaign dealt the internationalists a near mortal blow, and the Trump-Farage hook-up drove them up the wall. Like Trump, Farage is “pro-Russian,” i.e. he opposes the drive to war against Moscow, and the double victory of Trump-Brexit has the NATO-crats in a panic. Something had to be done.…

So let’s step back and look at the players: the CIA, MI6, “the head of an Eastern European intelligence agency,” and the “one of the Baltic states’ intelligence agencies” – an international coalition out to oust Trump.  Talk about “foreign interference” in American politics! This makes Russia’s alleged intervention look like child’s play.

The Never-Trumpers are demanding a “bipartisan independent commission” to investigate the alleged Russian connection to the Trump campaign: they might as well call it the Commission to De-legitimize Trump’s Presidency…  It’s hogwash of the sort we haven’t seen since the 1950s, when J. Edgar Hoover was “investigating” (i.e. harassing) anyone who didn’t toe the cold war line. But these people wouldn’t dream of investigating the many foreign connections to the anti-Trump campaign, stretching all the way from London to Kiev to the Baltic states (I’d guess Estonia).

My, my.  Talk about getting even with Trump for Brexit.  Sounds like the job of impeaching Donald Trump calls for a real, seasoned criminal.  A war criminal that produced the “sexed up” intelligence that allowed the British to dupe the U.S. to spend trillions of dollars on a war in Iraq.  From the CIA’s megaphone the Washington Post:

Tony Blair’s new mission: To change UK minds on Brexit

LONDON — Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair launched a campaign Friday to persuade the U.K. to rethink its decision to leave the European Union, saying those who want to remain should rise up and make their wishes known.  Blair argued that the Conservative government’s drive to leave the EU “at any cost” will hurt future generations and damage the unity of the country itself.  Last year’s vote to leave the 28-nation bloc was “based on imperfect knowledge” and Britons made their decision without knowing the true terms of Brexit, he said in a speech in London…

Blair spoke on behalf of Open Britain, which is campaigning for the government’s Brexit legislation to be amended to ensure that Parliament has “proper scrutiny” over any deal May negotiates with EU leaders. Among the group’s goals is for Britain to remain part of the bloc’s single market, guaranteeing unfettered access to 500 million people…

It wasn’t immediately clear how much support Blair may have in creating a wave of sentiment against May’s plans. The once-popular Labour Party leader suffered a fall from grace after he supported the United States in its intervention in Iraq.

Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson dismissed the speech, telling the BBC that people should “rise up and turn off the TV” when Blair comes on.

I’m with Boris Johnson, anyone that would give credence to a word the war criminal Tony Blair says is an idiot.  The British Empire was behind the campaign to fire General Flynn as Trump’s National Security Advisor.  From LaRouchepub.com

British Use Flynn Ouster to Gear Up ‘Oust Trump’ Operation: Impeachment, Assassination—Whatever It Takes

Feb. 14, 2017 (EIRNS)—Yes, such Obama operatives as former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates and the Washington Post, among others, played their designated roles in orchestrating the ouster of Gen. Michael Flynn as National Security Advisor. However, as Lyndon LaRouche has repeatedly advised, look to the British to find who is directing this chorus, and to what end.

Key British media today flaunted the intent that Flynn’s ouster not be the end, but the beginning of the drive to oust President Donald Trump from office, and to do so on the bandwagon that he has dared propose that the United States and Russia should cooperate for the greater good of all nations.

Look at British Broadcasting Corp., whose lead story throughout the day has been Flynn’s ouster. Remember that BBC still operates under a Royal Charter as it has since its founding in the 1920’s.  BBC’s target is Trump, with no less than six overlapping "news" stories to this effect. "Russia: The Scandal Trump Can’t Shake," one story is headlined.

Another trumpets that "the Flynn controversy may sharpen the focus on Donald Trump’s past pro-Russia statements." It insists that  "the really big question [is] what does this say about President Trump’s relationship with Russia?" Why does Trump "stubbornly refuse to say a bad word about ... Vladimir Putin. Not ever"?  BBC shamelessly revives the infamous dossier prepared by former MI6 officer Christopher Steele which circulated what were then admitted to be lies on Trump activities and ties in Russia, to imply that the American President is blackmailed by Russia…

The City of London’s Economist magazine joins BBC in dismissing Flynn’s ouster as but the sign of "some deeper infection…" Should such a Watergate impeachment scenario not work out, a contributing editor to the London Review of Books today raised another option: assassination of Trump: "There is no inherent harm in fantasising" about such a killing, Adam Shatz wrote on the LRB blog…

… In light of this, whose bidding do you think the Democratic and Republican Congressional leaders are doing as they dutifully line up to call for full-scale investigations into the Flynn affair?

So now that Flynn is out it seems war hawks like John McCain and Lindsay Graham are fawning over his replacement.  Hmmm, I wonder why.  From Stephen Lendman:

Excerpt:

Trump Chooses Hawkish National Security Advisor

On Monday, Trump named hawkish Army Lt. General HR McMaster to replace Michael Flynn as National Security Advisor (NSA).  Political pressure lead to his unfortunate sacking for harmlessly discussing sanctions with Russia’s US ambassador.

Twice passed over for brigadier general, McMaster earned two more stars in less than six years after getting his first one, a remarkable advancement - given to warriors, not peace advocates… Known as a tough, outspoken, detail-oriented intellectual with a reputation for battlefield acumen, he remains on active duty in his new position.

Acting National Security Advisor General Keith Kellogg will work with him as chief of staff, Trump announced.  A 1984 West Point graduate, McMaster earned a doctorate in American history at the University of North Carolina. His dissertation criticized US Vietnam War strategy, explained further in his book titled “Dereliction of Duty.”  The war’s illegality went unmentioned, US naked aggression against Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, nations threatening no others.

As a captain, McMaster won a Silver Star for service during the 1991 Gulf War, illegal by any standard, a walkover from mid-January to February 28, massacring tens of thousands of Iraqis. US aggression remains ongoing, defenseless civilians suffering most.

During Bush/Cheney’s war on Iraq, McMaster served under General David Petraeus, involved in his so-called counterterrorism operations.  Known for challenging conventional wisdom, a White House spokeswoman said Trump “gave full authority for McMaster to hire whatever staff he sees fit.”  Passed over for NSA, Trump said former UN envoy (neocon) John Bolton will serve in an unspecified administration role, a disturbing development, given his rage for endless wars…

He’s a warrior, in 2015 saying “(w)hat we have to do is really develop the ability to think clearly about future war.” Last spring, he lied, accusing Russia of invading Ukraine and annexing Crimea. “What is needed is forward deterrence,” he advised. Not good signs!

Washington has lots of hawks, doves in short supply - especially with disturbing hostility toward Russia, China and Iran, risking direct confrontation.

Well it seems to me that Trump’s new National Security Advisor is in direct conflict with the Trump Doctrine of cooperation and peace.  The British Empire appears to be hell bent on the destruction of America as we know it.  From LaRouchepub.com:

Excerpt:

Crush the British Empire Once and for All!

Jan. 24—Many have doubted the warning of Lyndon LaRouche, over these past 50 years, that the British Empire is still alive, and still dedicated to crushing the American System of Alexander Hamilton, John Quincy Adams, Abraham Lincoln, and Franklin Roosevelt. But today those doubts have been proven to be most foolish, as the imperial lords of the City of London and the British Monarchy have declared themselves, proudly, to be intent on destroying any effort to restore the American System in the United States, their former colonies.

The Obama years proved to be the total takeover of the U.S. government by the British System. The “free trade” model of the British, which America’s Founding Fathers had fought a revolution to escape, succeeded in eliminating all of the Franklin Roosevelt regulations and restraints on Wall Street, creating a speculative bubble reaching into the mega-trillions.

The British opium war on China was superseded in evil by the British and Wall Street banks’ “Dope, Inc.,” creating the worst drug epidemic in U.S. history, while Obama refused to jail the bankers responsible for either the financial crash or the drug money laundering, and openly promoted drug legalization.

Industry was dismantled under the guise of both “free trade” and the hoax that carbon was destroying the planet, all sponsored by Prince Philip’s World Wildlife Fund and related green fanatics. Space exploration and the scientific development of nuclear and fusion power were destroyed under the same British imperial model of enforced backwardness.

Perpetual, colonial wars have been waged against nations that were no threat to the United States, but were too close to Russia or China, using the British/Saudi-funded terror networks to remove governments by force. Obama and his British sponsors prepared for war with Russia and China with a massive military encirclement of both Eurasian nations.

The threat to this British control over the United States, represented by the defeat of the Obama/Hillary evil in November, has now forced the British out into the open, willing to kill to stop any chance that the Trump Administration might restore sanity. They must be stopped, and the British System destroyed, if civilization is to survive this crisis…

Remember that the British have a tradition of assassinating American presidents who have stood up against the Empire—Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, and Kennedy.

Karen Kwiatkowski over at Lew Rockwell has an interesting assessment on Donald Trump’s presidency, calling Trump the Perfect President.

Excerpt:

Trump is the Perfect President

A river of angst and anger is roaring, gushing, and flooding the country.

Trump’s psychological state, ability, intelligence, actions and intentions, impact and ramifications — suddenly everyone is wide awake and nervous.  Trump’s consistencies and inconsistencies are equally frightening, his exercise of power as the “most powerful man in the world” seem insane in so many ways…

Democrats and Republicans for decades eagerly created a massive currency printing debt-slave funded government, with a massive and terrible foreign policy.   They promoted an arrogant self-congratulatory exceptionalism, whether based on lies about how much they cared about human rights (they never did) or how much they cared about liberty (they cannot even spell the word).  Every president has served as a co-conspirator against the Republic, either as power addicts or puppets of power addicts who with dedication and commitment chipped and hacked away at the Constitution.

The politically active, ignorant government believers in this country have all worked hard to create the very problems of the state with which Trump is now saddled and accused.  I celebrate the Trump presidency as a wake-up call for the lying hypocrites who have created the government we now have.  Hypocrites like red “independent” states that are net takers on federal tax and redistribution schemes.

Human rights, equality and environmental advocates who have for decades tolerated and promoted a foreign policy that confidently destroys human rights, equality, and the environment.  Large swathes of angry people who know no history, learn through flashed headlines and images, doped up on government approved and subsidized prescription drugs and infotainment have come alive in their frustration…

America is now led by the best it can produce, the best it can elect.  And yet, Trump is unique in that he is fulfilling campaign promises, using executive power to shrink and reverse legislation, and for the first time in my lifetime, appointing actual people to the various posts of government, based on their passions and skills, or better yet, their past criticism of this or that agency.

This alone is unusual, experimental, and fresh.  Bureaucracies don’t reform themselves…   Lazy, slow, and not-so-sharp herd animals get eaten by wolves, sometimes ripped apart, and often killed gratuitously in the wolf pack’s excitement.   What surprises me is all the mewing and bleating from the herds’ supporters…

Fascism seems to be the word of the day – but our government is a long established crony capitalist state, one able, willing and eager to take by hook, by crook and by force, whatever it wants from any citizen of non-citizen alike.  This is old news.  Those who love the glory of the state, adore its power and enjoy its parental aura, have built and supported the state we have.  Donald Trump is the perfect man to lead it.

I certainly hope that he might also be the perfect president to destroy it.

Amen, Sister Karen.  So, forget the baseless allegations by the Deep State in America that Russia interfered with the American presidential election.  The Shadow Government in Britain is waging a war against our elected President, Donald Trump.  The Washington establishment populated by Republicans and Democrats are more than eager to assist in impeaching or assassinating President Trump to bring about the restoration of the British Empire.  Hopefully Trump will prevail and restore the power to the people where it belongs.

Labor Day: Putin and Trump’s working man blues

First published in Blasting News:

America has lost its way, it has become a land of the oppressed where billionaires own our government and nothing is owed to the working poor. 

War is possible because we wage it against people we don’t know or understand. Our children are sent to kill people in lands where we do not speak the language or understand the culture.  We are hermetically sealed in our own brutal capitalist culture of dog-eat-dog.  If you are not privileged you have no value and the privileged shall not contribute to the greater good of the country.  America has lost its way, it is run by the offspring of the elite who advance the interests of the oligarchs.

The war against working poor

The billionaire owned media control the debate and the message that is drilled into the American psyche twenty-four seven.  We are told low wages are a reality and jobs are not coming back to America.  It is in that atmosphere, that Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin have broken out of the iron clad shell that has been constructed around our people.  This week during Trump’s visit with Mexico’s President Nieto he said “workers in both of our countries need a pay raise, very desperately. In the United States, it’s been 18 years, 18 years wages are going down. Improving pay standards and working conditions will create better results for all and all workers in particular.” 

Americanism not globalism

What a departure from what we’re told by our wealthy politicians who have told Americans to “suck it up” low wages are the new reality.  Later, Donald Trump speaking before the American Legion said “the men and women of the American Legion represent the best of America. Strength, courage, selfless devotion. Your organization, and its members, have done so much to defend our country, our flag, and to advance the cause of Americanism – not Globalism.”

Military pawns for neocon wars

Those words are in beautiful contrast to the outrage that has taken over our wonderful country starting with the presidency of Harry Truman. Congress usurped power from the President and unleashed the nuclear bomb on Japan in an unprecedented act of horror that led to a new age American aggression against people of the world.  Secretary of State Henry Kissinger described the new attitude toward working Americans best when he said “military men are dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns for foreign policy.”

Ugly Americanism was ushered in with the Nixon presidency and escalated to new levels after the American government was overthrown December 12, 2000 with the installation of the world’s most ignorant leader, George W. Bush.  The age of ignorance, bigotry and vicious disregard for the working men and women became the new world order.  It was advanced by both of the political parties in America, for now the military industrial complex controlled our government, our schools and our airwaves. 

Trump and Putin promote enlightenment

And while Trump was pushing for a new American idealism and worldly understanding, President Vladimir Putin was meeting with Eton school boys from the UK.  Putin has been demonized along with Trump by the oligarchs who rely on an ignorant populous to promote war. 

Putin has repeatedly shown his mastery of the game of politics.  In agreeing to meet with the students from Eton, Putin was investing in future relations between Russia and the world. Nineteen of the UK’s prime ministers were educated at Eton so meeting with the next generation can only promote peace in the world.  While America’s pampered, war mongering congress languishes on a much undeserved vacation, Putin and Trump sing the working man’s blues.

The End of NATO and EU: Brexit, Turexit and Donald Trump

First published on Blasting News:

The implosion of NATO and the EU has begun, first with Brexit to be followed with Turexit and the imminent election of anti-NATO Donald Trump.

NATO and the European Union are in shambles and with the defection of Erdogan the war of terror unleased by the Bush Administration is imploding.  Erdogan, Turkey’s leader who was installed by the CIA, has survived the CIA lead coup to dislodge him.  Unlike previous puppets that thwarted the New World Order like Saddam Hussein in Iraq, and Viktor Yanukovych in Ukraine, Erdogan is in a very strong position possessing NATO’s second largest military.

Wash, Rinse, Repeat

What is happening in Turkey follows an all too familiar pattern.  Wash, US installs a reliable puppet as leader in a “democratic election.”  Rinse, corporate media markets the puppet as a democratic paragon of democracy in an undemocratic area of the world.  Repeat, puppet loses their usefulness and is branded a terrorist despot to be discarded. 

Installation of the puppet

Erdogan was installed in office by the CIA in 2003 after the Turkish government refused to allow US Troops to launch their attack on Iraq from Turkey.  Erdogan met with G.W. Bush on July 4^th, 2001 and by August he established the AKP party naming himself the leader.  A lawsuit launched by Turkey’s Chief State Prosecutor determined Erdogan an ex-convict was banned from forming and leading a political party.  By 2002 the AKP was the ruling party and passed a constitutional change to lift the ban on Erdogan who was then installed President.

Puppet turns on puppet master

Erdogan has been diminishing Turkey’s military reliance on the West and in 2015 Erdogan rejected bids by his NATO allies for a missile-defense system in favor of a Chinese-built one that is incompatible with the West’s technology.  As a NATO member Turkish independence is not an option so the media branding of Erdogan as a tyrant and despot laid the groundwork for the military coup backed by NATO.   

Coup coup cachoo the puppet strikes back

On the first night when it appeared the coup might succeed, US Secretary of State John Kerry called for “stability and continuity” in Turkey.  It wasn’t until Erdogan’s loyalists rose up against the Western backed coup that Kerry and Obama called for support of the “democratically elected” Erdogan government.  Erdogan immediately began purging the state and military apparatus of the CIA agents infuriating Secretary Kerry who then warned Erdogan, Turkey could lose its NATO membership and be disqualified from joining the EU.   

Turkey at a crossroads

The coup attempt has put Turkey is at a crossroads.  Turkey can continue aiding the CIA’s terror and chaos or Turkey can adopt a positive role in the emerging Eurasian system of China and Russia building energy and rail infrastructure with the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.

According to William Engdahl “Turkey has a beautiful opportunity to partner with Russia and change the world power balance. It will require a lot of will. But if done in a good open way, Turkey could enjoy prosperity as never before and be a genuine “good neighbor.”

Since its inception NATO has been a subsidy program for other NATO members, allowing those members to focus on their budgets, infrastructure and domestic spending with a declining America footing the bill.  Whichever way Turkey decides to go, the gauntlet has been tossed and NATO and the EU are imploding. When President Trump takes office in January 2017, he will only have to clean up the debris.

Oligarchs quash democratic elections in Britain and America

The Oligarchs’ coup installs right-wing Theresa May as PM stopping an election as GOP installs right-wing Mike Pence as Trump’s running mate.

The people of the UK voted to exit the European Union rejecting the conservative government of David Cameron rebuffing the repressive austerity forced upon them by European oligarchs.  In America the voters, exhausted by GOP imposed austerity and wars for profit voted overwhelmingly for anti-austerity, anti-NATO candidate Donald Trump.  Now the oligarchs that control the elections have quashed Democracy overturning the will of the people.

Theresa May Britain’s new Iron Lady chosen by Rupert Murdoch

The right wing conservatives in the Tory Party kicked aside even the pretense of Democracy and installed Theresa May as prime minister.  The vote was supposed to select two candidates with the most support from their fellow lawmakers to run for prime minister.  May was installed in a coup described by The Intercept as “a vast, right-wing conspiracy of media barons, led by Rupert Murdoch.

New prime minister same as the old prime minister

In May’s first speech as PM she promised to continue the widely-despised conservative policies of David Cameron.  According to World Socialist Website “May’s will be a government of class warfare, of savage austerity, attacks on democratic rights” and continued militarism and war.  May, a Thatcherite much like the GOP Reaganites in America, ruthlessly defends the interest of the oligarchy class. 

May has vowed to continue with billions in cuts to Universal Credit that will cost families as much as £3,000 a year, a four-year freeze in benefit rates, and cuts of £30 a week for people found too sick to work. The National Health Service is also on the chopping block for the unelected May.  Meanwhile the right wing of the Labour Party is mounting a coup to remove worker rights champion, Jeremy Corbyn as party leader.

Murdoch picks Pence for Trump running mate

Donald Trump who favored the Brexit and wants to end NATO is the presumptive GOP candidate. Thursday Rupert Murdoch’s media empire initiated a media blitz announcing the choice of Indiana Governor Mike Pence as Trump’s running mate.  Pence was not only a supporter of the Iraq war but co-sponsored the war authorization resolution.  In 2007 Pence, supporting troop escalation in Iraq, visited Baghdad proclaiming the war torn city to be “like a normal outdoor market in Indiana in the summertime.”

Although favored by the Taliban wing of the GOP, Pence is universally despised by Republicans and Democrats.  A rabid homophobe, Pence supports “gay conversion therapy” and signed “religious liberty” into law effectively legalizing discrimination against LGBT citizens.   A religious extremist, Pence has signed into law the most draconian anti-abortion bill in the country including banning abortions of fetuses with “lethal fetal anomaly.”   

We’ve seen this manipulation before, in 2000 the Democratic Leadership Council forced Al Gore to take Joe Lieberman as his running mate.  Funding for the DLC was provided by Citigroup whose majority stock holder is the Saudi Royal Family as well as General Electric, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley and Raytheon.  Lieberman sabotaged Gore’s campaign and helped install Bush and Cheney.

The oligarchs have profited immensely from the Iraq War and the subsequent wars along with their “allies” Saudi Arabia and Turkey.  

By installing an unelected anti-Brexit prime minister the oligarchs have maintained control of the levers of power in the U.K. and can control the “Brexit” process, if allowed to take place.
