Media in a panic as Donald Trump continues dismantling the juggernaut this time it’s the lying liar media weasels

In an unprecedented attack on an elected American president, America’s lying liar media weasels were in overdrive during Donald Trump’s first week as President of the United States.  The week started with the media tweeting out that Donald Trump removed the bust of revered civil rights leader, Martin Luther King Jr. from the Oval Office and placed it in storage.  This was a lie.  The tweet was retracted but only after it had been retweeted thousands of times.  The purpose of the false report was to incite racial hatred against President Trump. 

As Trump called for an investigation of “voter” fraud, claims that the GOP has been making for years in order to pass racially discriminatory voter elimination laws, the media in unison screamed “liar.”  After a week of continual media attacks against the fledgling Administration, one of Trump’s top advisors, Steve Bannon wrote an opinion piece in the New York Times calling the media the “opposition party.”  From Paul Craig Roberts:

Excerpt:

The Media Is Now The Political Opposition

Stephen Bannon Is 100% Correct—The Media Is Now The Political Opposition

Bannon is correct that the US media—indeed, the entire Western print and TV media—is nothing but a propaganda machine for the ruling elite. The presstitutes are devoid of integrity, moral conscience, and respect for truth… 

Who else but the despicable Western media justified the enormous war crimes committed against millions of peoples by the Clinton, Bush, and Obama regimes in nine countries—Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, Yemen, Syria, Somalia, Palestine, and the Russian areas of Ukraine?

Who else but the despicable Western media justified the domestic police states that have been erected in the Western world in the name of the “war on terror”?

Along with the war criminals that comprised the Clinton, Bush, and Obama regimes, the Western media should be tried for their complicity in the massive crimes against humanity.

The Western media’s effort to sustain the high level of tension between the West and Russia is a danger to all mankind, a direct threat to life on earth. Gorbachev’s warnings are correct. Yet presstitutes declare that if Trump lifts the sanctions it proves that Trump is a Russian agent. It is paradoxical that the Democrats and the liberal-progressive-left are mobilizing the anti-war movement to oppose Trump’s anti-war policy!

By refusing to acknowledge and to apologize for its lies, euphemistically called “fake news,” the Western media has failed humanity in a number of other ways…  By taking the role of the political opposition to Trump, the media has discredited itself as an honest critic on topics where Trump needs criticism, such as the environment and his tolerance of oppressive methods used by police. The presstitutes have ended all chance of improving Trump’s performance with reports and criticism.

Trump needs moderating on the environment, on the police, and on the war on terror. Trump needs to understand that “the Muslim threat” is a hoax created by the neoconservatives and the military/security complex with the complicity of the presstitutes to serve the hegemony agenda and the budget and power of the CIA, Pentagon, and military industries. If the US stops bombing and slaughtering Muslims and training and equipping forces to overthrow non-compliant Muslim governments such as Syria, Iraq, and Libya, “the Muslim threat” will disappear.

Maybe Trump will add to his agenda breaking into hundreds of pieces the six mega-media companies that own 90% of the US media and selling the pieces to seperate independent owners who have no connection to the ruling elites. Then America would again have a media that can constrain the government with truth rather than use lies to act for or against the government.

Amen brother Roberts.  President Trump also requested and received the resignations from a slew of war criminals at the State Department, including Victoria (F*&K the EU) Nuland.  The State Department officials were a treasure trove of unnamed sources for the New York Times and the Washington Post.  From Counter Punch:

The Anonymous Blacklist Promoted by the Washington Post Has Apparent Ties to Ukrainian Fascism and CIA Spying

Last month, the Washington Post gave a glowing front-page boost to an anonymous online blacklist of hundreds of American websites, from marginal conspiracy sites to flagship libertarian and progressive publications. As Max Blumenthal reported for AlterNet, the anonymous website argued that all of them should be investigated by the federal government and potentially prosecuted under the Espionage Act as Russian spies, for wittingly or unwittingly spreading Russian propaganda…

What the Washington Post did in boosting an anonymous blacklist of American journalists accused of criminal treason is one of the sleaziest, and most disturbing… things I’ve seen in this country…  The WaPo is essentially an arm of the American deep state; its owner, Jeff Bezos, is one of the three richest Americans, worth $67 billion, and his cash cow, Amazon, is a major contractor with the Central Intelligence Agency. In other words, this is as close to an official US government blacklist of journalists as we’ve seen—a dark ominous warning before they take the next steps.

Joe Scarborough of MSNBC’s Morning Joe has warned Donald Trump that he must cave and bow to the media, because the media always wins. “Taking on the press like that, it always works badly.  The press always wins, Washington always wins.  You figure out how to work with them or you’re going to get crushed.”  Scarborough continues “I said the same thing to the Obama Administration, I’ve said it to every administration and some people get it some don’t.”

Yes Joe, some people get it some people don’t.  From Poynter:

Excerpt:

Obama to the press: ‘America needs you’

President Obama praised the press as central to democracy Wednesday in a final "farewell" that was part ironic homage to the media and part admonition to the incoming Trump administration.

Democracy "doesn't work if we don't have a well-informed citizenship...America needs you, and democracy needs you," he said, before taking questions in a final press conference that followed a final speech last week in Chicago.

It was a premeditated (and well-signaled) pre-emptive shot at President-elect Donald Trump, whose views toward the press were at times openly hostile during the campaign. As his inauguration approaches Friday, Trump's shots at the media (mostly via Twitter) have persisted.

Obama underscored the need of a free press to "cast a critical eye on the powerful. You'd done it, for the most part, in ways that I could appreciate for fairness, even if I didn't always agree with your conclusions. Having you in this building has made this place work better. It keeps us honest, made us work harder."

So Obama says the press has cast a critical eye on the powerful.  He says the media weasels have kept his administration honest and made them work harder, really???  From Mint Press:

Excerpt:

Trump Is Anti-Environment, But So Was Obama

While the incoming Trump administration shows a callous disregard for the environment, liberals have conveniently forgotten that some of the most disastrous environmental and public health crises in U.S. history have occurred on President Obama's watch.

It’s rather easy, and undoubtedly necessary, to lambast President-elect Donald Trump and his team of corporate parasites who will soon head nearly every key agency in the U.S. government…

Indeed, it wasn’t Trump, but President Barack Obama, who held the reins of the federal government and did nothing while drinking water contamination poisoned the people of Flint, Michigan. It was Obama who expanded offshore oil drilling while paying lip service to environmental responsibility in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon spill — a 2010 disaster which continues to wreak havoc on the Gulf of Mexico’s ecosystem. It was Obama who signed off on new oil pipelines, approving the construction of the equivalent of 10 Keystone pipelines between 2010 and 2015 alone. Oil and gas shipments by rail continued under his watch…

These are just some examples of the countless other irresponsible policies. Forgive me if I don’t offer the liberals a post-consumer recycled handkerchief for their eco-friendly crocodile tears.

Obama: Owner of the water crises 

And while Obama did eventually make an appearance in Flint to pose for photos and, in typical Obama fashion, deliver an emotionally charged but politically vacuous speech, he has done almost nothing to address the underlying problem in Flint. With one word, one executive order, Obama could have brought the power of the presidency down on Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder and other public officials who are directly responsible for the crisis. But he never did, preferring instead to deliver the kinds of hollow platitudes that have become his trademark.

It is rather striking that more than a year after the Flint crisis came to public attention while Obama was finishing another round of golf or shoring up his “Commander-in-Cool” image with interviews for Vice and “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,” the full scope of the crisis is now becoming clear.

In a shocking examination published on Dec. 19 by Reuters, researchers found that nearly 3,000 communities had recorded lead poisoning rates double those in Flint, with more than 1,100 of them showing elevated levels of lead in the blood that were at least four times higher than in Flint…

Such findings would undoubtedly be scandalous were it not for a corporate media more interested in political wrangling and Trump’s latest tweets than in covering the full scope of a story that amounts to intergenerational economic and physical oppression. For it is the poor and working class communities, most of which were formerly industrial cities, where the problem of lead poisoning is at its worst.

These communities are often predominantly comprised of people of color and immigrants who are disproportionately affected by this level of federal, state, and municipal neglect.

Yes, Obama took Joe Scarborough’s advice and learned to work with the press, good job.  What is more dangerous that a lack of a free press?  A monopolistic fake press.   Throughout the Bush/Obama Administrations the media has continually blamed every attack on “radical Islamic terrorists” a term made up in order to justify perpetual war.  

The attacks on the Pulse Night Club and the San Bernardino, which according to terrorism experts were false flags, were used to demonize immigrants of Muslim descent.  The Boston Marathon attacks were committed by Muslims who, the Russian Government had warned the American government, had been radicalized but were allowed to return to the US anyway.  Some believe the government knew they were planning an attack and allowed it in order for a police state mentality to take hold.

The GOP constantly talked about keeping radical Islamic terrorists out of the country but never really planned to, it was just to enable trillions of dollars to go to the military industrial complex and line their own pockets as well.   It is unfortunate that Trump took them literally and has imposed a religious litmus test on the seven countries that Bush/Obama have bombed.  Let’s hope some cooler heads prevail. Trump’s hold is for 120 days, let’s hope with new people at the State Department he will get better information and lift this ban.

Hopefully Donald Trump will take Dr. Paul Craig Roberts’ advice and break the media up into hundreds of pieces instead of six mega-media companies owning 90% of the US media.   “Then America would again have a media that can constrain the government with truth rather than use lies to act for or against the government.”  In the meantime, the media in a panic as Donald Trump continues dismantling the juggernaut this time it’s the lying liar media weasels who have morphed into the political opposition party.

Neocon vs. neocon: Trumps’ global tectonic shift throws world off its axis of evil

Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.

Isaiah 6:5:

Oh, truer words were never spoken.  The Democratic Party has come undone for they dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips.  The Republican Party has come undone for they dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips.  What is left you may ask.  The people of the world that are living on a planet that has been thrown off its axis of evil and now we must rebuild the world left in shambles by the godless handmaidens of the oligarchs.

Donald Trump has not even assumed the office of the Presidency and the two parties, gasping in their death throes are demanding that Trump have their blessing, nay their permission to form a cabinet that will govern the world for the next four years.  The two parties, deaf to the roar of the masses around them, are informing their constituents that the same failed leadership will return to their respective parties, i.e. Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. 

Are they serious?  What is wrong with those people?  Get out, we don’t want you!  As these miserable failures are returned to their leadership posts they are launching an all-out media blitz against Donald Trump and his choices for his team, particularly Steve Bannon.

Neocon vs. Neocon and the war against Steve Bannon, Trump’s Chief Strategist

Woe is me, according to the billionaire owned media Steve Bannon is the anti-Christ.  Steve Bannon was editor of Breitbart, the right wing publication that dared to criticize the editor of the Weekly Standard and son of founding member of the Project for a New American Century, Irving Kristol.  Oh woe is me.  Now the clarion calls for Trump to dump Bannon as his chief strategist are beginning to blare.  But what is the truth?  According to Heavy.com:

Excerpt:

Trump’s campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, defended Bannon, saying he was a former Naval officer with a Harvard business degree, The New York Times said…

Breitbart Ran a Headline Referring to a Commentator as a ‘Renegade Jew’

According to CNN, the article ran in May 2016 and contained a headline that referred to conservative pundit Bill Kristol as a “renegade Jew.”

On November 14, David Horowitz, who wrote that article, attempted to defend it on the Breitbart site, saying, “In fact, neither Breitbart nor Bannon is responsible for that statement…

Horowitz said he wrote the article after Kristol became a Never Trumper, saying, “Bill Kristol and his friends betrayed the Republican Party, betrayed the American people, and betrayed the Jews when he set out to undermine Trump and elect the criminal Hillary Clinton. Obama and Hillary are supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood…”

My, my.  Seems to me more like a neocon vs. neocon spat rather than a real threat to America’s future.  Me thinks the GOP aversion to Bannon has more to do with his criticism of the GOP’s neocon, Zionist Sunday morning talk show panelist and imperialist apologist than any “alt-right” objection.   According to Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, evidence is building that left-wing billionaire George Soros is behind the destabilization caused by anti-Trump “protests” across America.

Excerpt:

A reader writes that Soros “is involved in destabilizing and overthrowing democratically elected governments all over the world. He is not just a political and social threat to Russia and Ukraine, but evidently now to the USA and Western Europe, where he has been behind the mass influx of immigrants to destabilise those countries as well.

“It is clear that Trump and Putin have a lot of threats in common to deal with. The shadow government is currently rattled, but will strike back soon. After the recent violent events, Trump should join the Russian government and also call for the immediate arrest of Soros for his treasonous activities and confiscate all his assets in the West, appoint special prosecutors to deal with the neocon war criminals and break up the bought and paid for press and media monopolies that are the corrupt and mendacious whores of the oligarchy.

Furthermore, he should also shut down the oligarchs’ Fed and create a national bank to issue debt- and interest-free US money to fund infrastructure and the rebuilding of the US economy. That would critically weaken the opposition and strengthen his position in dealing with the shadow government. “These forces will be eternal enemies not just of him, but of the Western people. They represent a cancer that is killing the host. Not reconciliation, but deep and thorough cleaning is required to rout out this den of vipers.”

My, my, my. woe is me.  George Soros who has been able to run wild, overthrowing elected governments with the blessing and protection of the Democratic leadership is now a wanted man.  Putin has actually issued a warrant for his arrest.  From US Defense Watch:

Excerpt:

Russia has officially declared that Billionaire George Soros is a wanted man in their country, citing him and his organizations as a “threat to Russian national security”.

Putin banned Soros from Russia last year due to the fact that Soros helped to nearly destroy the Russian economy in the early 1990’s.  Matt Taibbi of the Rolling Stone said of Goldman Sachs six years ago:

“The first thing you need to know about Goldman Sachs is that it’s everywhere. The world’s most powerful investment bank is a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money.  “In fact, the history of the recent financial crisis, which doubles as a history of the rapid decline and fall of the suddenly swindled dry American empire, reads like a Who’s Who of Goldman Sachs graduates.”

Obviously Soros wants to be like Goldman Sachs. Phil Butler puts it well when he says: “George Soros has a finger in every political pie there is. If there is a crisis on our world, it’s a safe bet he’s had a hand in it…”  Their strategy is a little different, but the end result is the destruction of lives via the economic system (be it capitalism or socialism) and political manipulation.

That’s why Soros seems to think that he is invincible. He thinks he can move the political and economic planet in a few blinks of an eye and no one can tell him to stop… Soros thinks he can kill political stability throughout Europe and indeed in America with no challenge…  His organization has recently been caught conducting covert operations designed to destabilize Russia.

Here is an interesting quote from the leaked files of Soros’ Open Society Foundation:

“Our inclination is to engage in activities and with actors that will understand and counter Russian support to movements defending traditional values…Naming and shaming from us is problematic: we are also in the business of channeling money into other countries for political purposes.”

Yes, that is what Donald Trump is up against in the United States as he forms his government.  Kind of makes me look at Steve Bannon as a wise choice for Donald Trump’s new administration.  Pretty wise indeed, and as George Soros and Bill Kristol call on their bought and paid for GOP and DNC leadership to kill any Trump nomination.  But the politicians have no control over the people who will have Trump’s ear for the next four years.  They need no confirmation from our corrupt politicians.

Oh woe is me, the best laid plans of mice and men, but these are not mice they are rats and these are not men, they are traitors against America.  Soros and Kristol must be shaking in their boots over a Trump Administration, especially since their sixteen year plan to destroy America and Russia has now been upended.  From Washington Post:

Excerpt:

Trump, Putin agree in phone call to improve ‘unsatisfactory’ relations between their countries, Kremlin says

President-elect Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed in a telephone conversation Monday that relations between their countries were “unsatisfactory” and vowed to work together to improve them, the Kremlin said in a statement.  The statement said the two leaders discussed combining efforts in the fight against terrorism, talked about “a settlement for the crisis in Syria” and agreed their aides would begin working toward a face-to-face meeting between them.

Trump’s office said in a statement that Putin had called to “offer his congratulations” and that the two had discussed “a range of issues including the threats and challenges facing the United States and Russia, strategic economic issues and the historical U.S.-Russia relationship that dates back over 200 years.”  Although Trump’s statement did not mention Syria or other specific issues, it said that he told Putin “that he is very much looking forward to having a strong and enduring relationship with Russia and the People of Russia.”

The call came as Trump faced a growing backlash against his decision to name campaign chairman and former Breitbart News head Stephen K. Bannon as chief strategist at the White House, a choice CRITICS SAY will empower white nationalists…

Trump appeared to absolve Russia from responsibility for intervention in Ukraine and annexation of Crimea, and questioned the relevance of NATO, which has charged Moscow with engaging in provocative air and sea actions on the alliance’s eastern flank.

Giving Putin a free pass on those issues IS DIRECTLY COUNTER TO THE RUSSIA POLICY OF THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION, which has, among other things, called for an international war crimes investigation of Russia’s actions in Syria. It could also undermine current European negotiations with Moscow over Ukraine, and support for U.S. and European Union sanctions.

Oh, my, my, my.  Woe is me, the Trump Administration’s Russia policy in “directly counter to the Russia policy of the Obama Administration;” the administration that takes its walking orders from George Soros.  No wonder Soros is behind the anti-Trump demonstrations in America, it is in his financial and global interests to do so.  With a pliant billionaire owned media, those protests are magnified to seem as though they are more potent than they are in reality.  From Zero Hedge:

Anti-Trump Protests: Proof Of Professional Activist Involvement 

In a story from November 12, USA Today writes an article to discredit the idea that the professional activist community is involved with organizing anti-Trump protests. They invite you to meet the protesters. USA today presents them as ordinary people. However, WikiLeaks exposes them as experienced protest organizers and activists.

Ha, ha ha.  This should be good, go on….

USA Today presents the protests as spontaneous, involving people from “all walks of life” – certainly not professional protesters. If anyone in the crowd has protest experience, it hasn’t been since the Vietnam Era:

They come in all ages and walks of life, unflinching and determined to be heard.

Mothers with young children, hoping to impart an up-close lesson in history. Animated college students stretching their political vocal cords for the first time. Aging Baby Boomers who haven't toted a protest sign since their anti-war days in the 1970s.

So should we expect that everyone quoted in that article is there out of spontaneous concern? Would a reputable newspaper properly identify its sources, noting if they were known activists and organizers? Let’s meet USA Today’s first protester:

Yong Jung Cho, 26, who organized a candlelight vigil in front of the White House on Wednesday night, said about 2,000 people showed up… USA Today presents Yong Jung Cho without any introduction. Is she an average citizen, or an experienced protest coordinator? In a February 2016 email from the Podesta files, Yong Jung Cho is described as “350 Action Campaign Coordinator”…

So USA Today’s first person from “all walks of life” is an organizer who has experience on the activist circuit, and in that capacity she worked on the presidential primary. Not exactly the “spontaneous concern” presented by the newspaper.

How about another source, someone that USA Today introduces by more than just a name? Here’s Phil Roeder, a public school official with no disclosed interest except the welfare of his students:

"The majority of students at Des Moines Public Schools are students of color," Phil Roeder, the district's director of communications and public affairs, said in a statement earlier this week. "The rhetoric of this past election has caused many concerns and divisions among them, their friends and their families. The school district will not stand in the way of our students peacefully expressing their concerns."

So: Phil Roeder, concerned public servant without a partisan agenda, or veteran Democratic activist? Once again, WikiLeaks can shed some light on that question.

In the same 2014 email from the Podesta collection, we find that many of the activists in the Iowa organization had private meetings with Obama and Clinton, and that Phil Roeder was prominent in the group…

Phil Roeder is well-enough connected in Democratic circles that he merits more than one mention in WikiLeaks. In May 2015 in the Podesta emails – some years after Roeder became a prominent political organizer in Iowa…   So the Iowa Daily Democrat recognizes Phil Roeder as a Democratic strategist, but somehow USA Today didn’t…

My, my, my.  Woe is me for I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips.  Donald Trump was elected president by the people of America and whomever he desires to be in his cabinet and for his closest of confidants is his right as well as responsibility.  The two major parties have come undone, they are of unclean lips and dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips.  America, she’s come undone and needs our elected President, Donald Trump to put her back together.  President Trump, make America great again.
