In all the political drama taking place in the USA as a result of the attempted color revolution against Trump, the bigger picture sometimes gets forgotten. And yet, this bigger picture is quite amazing, because if we look at it we will see irrefutable signs that the Empire in engaged in some bizarre slow motion of seppuku and the only mystery left is who, or what, will serve as the Empire’s kaishakunin(assuming there will be one).
I would even argue that the Empire is pursuing a full-spectrum policy of self-destruction on several distinct levels, with each level contributing the overall sum total suicide. And when I refer to self-destructive behavior I don’t mean long-term issues such as the non-sustainability of the capitalist economic model or the social consequences of a society which not only is unable to differentiate right from wrong, but which now decrees that deviant behavior is healthy and normal. These are what I call “long term walls” into which we will, inevitably, crash, but which are comparatively further away than some “immediate walls”. Let me list a few of these:
Political suicide: the Neocons’ refusal to accept the election of Donald Trump has resulted in a massive campaign to de-legitimize him. What the Neocons clearly fail to see, or don’t care about, is that by de-legitimizing Trump they are also de-legitimizing the entire political process which brought Trump to power and upon which the United States are built as a society. As a direct result from this campaign, not only are millions of Americans becoming disgusted with the political system they were indoctrinated to believe in, but internationally the notion of “American democracy” is becoming a sad joke.
And just to make things worse, the US corporate media is finally showing its true face and now unapologetically shows the entire world that not only is it not in any way “fair” or “objective”, but that it is a 100% prostituted propaganda machine which faithfully serves the interests of the US “deep state”.
A key element of the quasi constant brainwashing of the average American has always been the regular holding of elections. Nevermind that, at least until now, the outcome of these elections made very little difference inside the USA and non at all outside, the goal was never to consult the people – the goal has always been to give the illusion of democracy and people power. Now that the Democrats say that the Russians rigged the elections and the Republicans say that it was the Democrats and their millions of dead voters who tried stealing it, it become rather obvious that these elections were always a joke, a pseudo-democratic “liturgy”, a brainwashing ritual – you name it – but never about anything real.
The emergence of the concept of 1% can be “credited” to the Obama Administration, since it was during Obama that the entire “Occupy Wall Street” movement took off, but the ultimate unmasking of the viciously evil true face of that 1% must be credited to Hillary with her truly historical confession in which she openly declared that those who oppose her are a “basket of deplorables”. We already knew, thanks to Victoria Nuland, what the AngloZionist leaders thought of the people of Europe, now we know what they think of the people of the USA: exactly the same thing.
The bottom line is this: I don’t think that the moral authority and political credibility of the USA have ever been lower than today. Decades of propaganda by Hollywood and the official US propaganda machine have now collapsed and nobody buys that counter-factual nonsense anymore.
Foreign policy suicide: let’s see what options there are to choose from. The Neocons want a war with Russia which the Trump people don’t. The Trump people, however, want, well maybe not a war, although that option is very much on the table, but at least a very serious confrontation with China, North Korea or Iran, and about half of them would also like some kind of confrontation with Russia. There is absolutely nobody, at least at the top, who would dare to suggest that a confrontation or, even worse, a war with China, Iran, North Korea or Russia would be a disaster, a calamity for the USA. In fact, serious people with impressive credentials and a lot of gravitas are discussing these possibilities as if they were real, as it the USA could in some sense prevail. This is laughable. Well, no, it it not. But it would be if it wasn’t so frightening and depressing. The truth is very, very different.
[Sidebar: While it is probably not impossible for the United States to prevail, in purely military terms, against the DPRK in a war, the potential risks are nothing short of immense. And I don’t mean the risk posed by the North Korean nukes which, apparently, is also quite real. I mean the risk of starting a war against a country which has Seoul within conventional artillery range, an active duty army of well over one million people and 180’000 special forces operators. Let us assume for a second that the DPRK has no air force and no navy and an army composed of only 1M+ soldiers, 21k+ artillery pieces and 180k special forces. How do you propose to deal with that threat? If you have an easy, obvious solution, you have watched too many Hollywood movies. You probably also don’t understand the terrain.]
But yes, the DPRK also has major wseaknesses and I cannot exclude that the North Korean armed forces would rapidly collapse under a sustained attack by the US and the ROK. I did not say that I believe that this would happen, only that I don’t exclude it. Should that happen, the US might well prevail relatively rapidly, at least in purely military terms. However, please keep in mind that any military operation has to serve a political goal and, in that sense, I cannot imagine any scenario under which the USA would walk away from a war against the DPRK with anything remotely resembling a real “victory”. There is a paraphrase of something Ho Chi Minh allegedly told to the French in the 1940s which I really like. It goes like this:” we kill some of you, you kill a lot of us, and then we win”. That is how a war with the DPRK would probably play out. I call this the “American curse”: Americans are very good at killing people, but they are not good at winning wars. Still, in the case of the DPRK there is at least a possibility of a military victory, even if at a potentially huge cost. With Iran, Russia or China there is no such possibility at all: a war with any of them would be a guaranteed disaster (I wrote about a war in Iran here and about a war with Russia too many times to count). So why is it that even though out of the 4 possible wars, one is a potential disaster and the 3 others are a guaranteed disaster, why is it that these are discussed as if they were potential options?!
The reason for that can be found in the unique mix of crass ignorance and political cowardice of the entire US political class. First, a lot (most?) of US politicians believe in their own silly propaganda about the US armed forces being “the best” in “the world” (no evidence needed!). But even those who are smart enough to realize that this is a load of baloney which nobody outside the USA still takes seriously, they know that saying that publicly is political suicide. So they pretend, go along, and keep on repetitively spewing the patriotic mantra about “rah, rah, USA, USA, ‘Merica number one, we are the best” etc. Some figure that since the USA spends more on aggression that the rest of the planet combined, that must mean that the US armed forces must be “better” (whatever that means). To the birthplace of “bigger is better” the answer is self-evident. It is also completely wrong.
Eventually, something crazy inevitably happens. Like in Syria were the State Department had one policy, the Pentagon another and the CIA yet another one. The resulting cognitive dissonance is removed by engaging in classical doublethink: “yes, we screwed up over and over, but we are still the best”. Ironically, that kind of mindset is at the core of the American inability to learn from past mistakes. If the choice is between an honest evaluation of past operations and political expediency, the latter always prevails (at least amongst civilians, US servicemen are often far more capable of self-critical evaluation, especially in ranks up to Colonel and below, the problem here is that civilians and generals rarely listen to them).
The result is total chaos: the US foreign policy is wholly dependent on the US ability to threaten the use of military force, but the harsh reality is that every country out there which dared to defy Uncle Sam did that only after coming to the conclusion that the US did not have the means to crush it militarily. In other words, only the weak, which are already de-facto US colonies, fear the USA. Or, put differently, the only countries who dare to defy Uncle Sam are the strong ones (that was all quite predictable, but US politicians don’t know about Hegel or dialectics). And just to make it worse, there is no real US foreign policy. What there is is only the sum vector of the different foreign policies desired by various more or less covert “deep state” actors, agencies and individuals. That resulting “sum vector” is inevitably short-term, focuses on a quickfix approach, and unable to take into account any complexity.
As for the US “diplomacy” it simply doesn’t exist. You don’t need diplomats to deliver demands, bribes, ultimatums and threats. You don’t need educated people. Nor do you need people with any understanding of the “other”. All you need is one arrogant self-enamored bully and one interpreter (since US diplomats don’t speak the local languages either. And why would they?). We saw the most compelling evidence of the total rigor mortis of the US diplomatic corps when 51 US “diplomats” demanded that Obama bomb Syria. The rest of the world could just observe in amazement, sadness, bewilderment and total disgust.
The bottom line is this: there is no “US diplomacy”. The USA have simply let that entire field atrophy to the point were it ceased to exist. When so many baffled observers try to understand what the US policy in the Ukraine or Syria is, they are making a mistaken assumption – that there is a US foreign policy to being with. I would argue that the US diplomacy slowly and quietly passed away, sometime after James Baker (the last real US diplomat, and a brilliant one at that).
Military suicide: the US military was never a very impressive one, certainly not when compared to the British, Russian or German ones. But it did have a couple of very strong points including the ability to produce a lot of technical innovations which made it possible to produce new, sometimes quite revolutionary, weapons. And if the US track record on ground operations was rather modest, the US did prove to be a most capable adversary in naval and aerial warfare. I don’t think that it can be denied that for most of the years following WWII the USA had the most powerful and sophisticated navy and airforce in the world. Then, gradually, things started getting worse and worse as the costs of the very expensive ships and aircraft shot through the roof while the quality of the produced systems appeared to be gradually degrading. Weapons systems which looked nothing short of awesome in the lab and test grounds proved to be almost useless once they to to their end user on the battlefield. What happened? How did a country which produced the UH-1 Huey or the F-16 suddenly start producing Apaches and F-35s?! The explanation is painfully simple: corruption.
Not only did the US military industrial complex bloat beyond any reasonable size, it also cloaked itself in so many layers of secrecy that massive corruption became inevitable. And when I speak of “massive corruption” I am not talking about millions but billions or even trillions. How? Simple – the Pentagon claimed did not have the accounting tools needed to properly account for the missing money and that the money was therefore not really “missing”. Another trick – no bid contracts. Or contracts which cover all the private contractor’s costs, no matter how high or ridiculous. Desert Storm was a bonanza for the MIC, as was 9/11 and the GWOT. Billions of dollars got printed out of thin air, distributed (mostly under the cover of national security), hidden (secrecy) and stolen (by everybody in this entire food chain). The feeding frenzy was so extreme that one of my teachers as SAIS admitted, off the record of course, that he had never seen a weapons system he did not like or which he did not want to purchase. This man, whom I shall not name, was a former director of the US Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. Yes, you read that right. He was in charge of DIS-armament. You can imagine what the folks in charge of armament (no “dis) were thinking…
With the stratospheric rise of corruption, the kind of US general which had to be promoted went from fighting men who remembered Vietnam (where they often lost family members, relatives and friends) to ass-kissing little chickenshits” like David Petraeus. In less than half a century US generals went from combat men, to managers, to politicians. And it is against this lackluster background that a rather unimpressive personality like General James Mattis can appear, at least to some, like a good candidate for Secretary of Defense.
Bottom line: the US armed forces are fantastically expensive and yet not particularly well-trained, well-equipped or well-commanded. And while they still are much more capable than the many European militaries (which are a joke), they are most definitely not the kind of armed forces needed to impose and maintain a world hegemony. The good news for the USA is that the US armed forces are more than adequate to defend the USA against any hypothetical attack. But as the backbone of the Empire – they are close to useless.
I could list many more types of suicides including an economic suicide, a social suicide, an educational suicide, a cultural suicide and, of course, a moral suicide. But others have already done that elsewhere, and much better than I could ever do myself. So all I will add here is one form of suicide which I believe the AngloZionist Empire has in common with the EU: a
“Suicide by reality denial”: this is the mother and father of all the other forms of suicide – the stubborn refusal to look at reality and accept the fact that “the party is over”. When I see the grim determination of US politicians (very much including the people supporting Trump) to continue to pretend as if the US hegemony was here to stay forever, when I see how they see themselves as the leaders of the world and how they sincerely believe that they need to get involved in every conflict on the planet, I can only come to the conclusion that the inevitable collapse will be painful. To be fair, Trump himself clearly has moments of lucidity about this, for example when he recently declared to Congress
Free nations are the best vehicle for expressing the will of the people — and America respects the right of all nations to chart their own path. My job is not to represent the world. My job is to represent the United States of America. But we know that America is better off, when there is less conflict — not more.
These are remarkable words for which Trump truly deserves a standing ovation as they are the closest thing to a formal admission that the United States have given up on the dream of being the World Hegemon and that from now on the US President will no longer represent the interest of trans-national plutocracies but he will represent the interests of the American people. This sort of language is nothing short of revolutionary, whether Trump truly delivers on that or not. Unlike everybody else, Trump does not appear to suffer from “suicide by reality denial” syndrome, but when I look at the people around him (nevermind the prostitutes in Congress) I wonder if he will ever get to act on his personal instincts.
Trump is clearly the best man in the Trump administration, he seems to have his heart in the right place and, unlike Hillary, he is clearly aware of the fact that the US armed forces are in a terrible shape. But a good heart and common sense are not enough to deal with the Neocons and the US deep state. You also need an iron will and a total determination to crush the opposition. Alas, so far Trump has failed to show either quality. Instead, Trump is trying to show how “tough” a guy he is by declaring that he will wipe out Daesh and by giving the Pentagon 30 days to come up with a plan to do this. Alas (for Trump), there is no way to crush Daesh without working with those who already have boots on the ground: the Iranians, the Russians and the Syrians. It is really that simple. And every American general knows that. Yet everybody is merrily plowing ahead is if there was some kind of possibility for the USA to crush Daesh without establishing a partnership with Russia, Iran and Syria first (Erdogan tried that. It did him no good. Now he is working with Russia and Iran). Will the good folks at the Pentagon find the courage to tell Trump that “no, Mr President, we cannot do that alone, we need the Russians, the Iranians and the Syrians”? I very much doubt it. So, yet again, we are probably going to see a case of reality denial, maybe not a suicidal one, but a significant one nonetheless. Not good.
Who will be the Empire’s kaishakunin?
Alexander Solzhenitsyn used to say that all states can be placed on a continuum which ranges from states whose authority is based on their power to states whose power is based on their authority. I think that we can agree that the authority of the USA is pretty close to zero. As for their power, it is still very substantial, but not sufficient to maintain the Empire. It is, however, more than adequate to protect the interests of the United States as a country provided the United States accept that they simply don’t have the means to remain a world hegemon.
If the Neocons succeed in their attempt to overthrow or, failing that, at paralyzing Trump, then the Empire will have the choice between an endless horror or a horrible end. Since the Neocons don’t really need a war with the DPRK, which they don’t like, but which does not elicit the kind of blind hatred Iran does, my guess is that Iran will be their number one target. Should the AngloZionists succeed in triggering a war between Iran and the Empire, then Iran will end up being the Empire’s kaishakunin. If the crazies fail in their manic attempts at triggering a major war, then the Empire will probably collapse under the pressure of the internal contradictions of the US society. Finally, if Trump and the American patriots who do not want to sacrifice their country for the sake of the Empire succeed in “draining the DC swamp” and finally crack-down hard on the Neocons then a gradual transition from Empire to major power is still possible. But the clock is running out fast.
With jews you loose.
No, they suck you dry and leave for another place.

Funny article. Too bad the author is living in some kind of alternate universe. Putin and the Russian model have proved to be losers and will continue to be losers.
Is it not quite possible that you are the one in that “alternative universe”? Oh, sorry, you are one of those americans who can not think. Apologies.
That was a little harsh, please treat the machine with respect.
1690 and 1692 have been reprogrammed already; we shall get onto this muppet shortly.
Well, i have news for you. With every passing year, the US share in the world economy is declining. 25 percent, 24 percent, 23 percent, 22 percent…tick tack tick tack. A point is coming where the US will be irrelevant for the world economy. This means that the US is done. Enjoy your place under the sun, because you don’t have much time left.
Are you for real. Obviously 7 billion of us live in the current Universe as we know it.
Excellent analysis. I hope Trump reads it.
We still do not know if Trump will survive the ‘soft coup’ that’s being attempted on him. But I do think it’s possible that Iran becomes the Empire’s second if only for the reason that an attack on Iran will close the Straits of Hormuz maybe for years, which will trigger a collapse of US markets.
Ho Hum. By “Empire”, you obviously mean “Russia”. So………..what do you call the economic and political system of Russia? Oh, that’s right, they don’t rally have a viable political system; and the economy…what economy?
Typical Russian paranoia and insecurity…so predictable.
How can you delegitimize a rigged electoral process? The “neo-cons” are just as much a part of the putrid, corporate owned, process that delivered Trump the presidency.
There is, however, a great urgency, because Trump is dismantling the social gains made by America since the 1930’s, ant that, is a profound threat to the nation.
Bullsh*t.
Good comments I agree with most of them. You even quote Alexander Solzhenitsyn as I do. Perhaps I have had a god influence on you. I see you no longer call it the Anglo / Zionist empire. I guess you finally agree there is no Anglo in it now if there ever was. Keep the term Zionist though, which is 100 % accurate even shown in laws in countries like the UK, France, Holland etc.
I hope you don’t fear saying Zionist empire. If you do fear to say it, then it just proves it more as Voltaire said, see whom you are not allowed to criticize and you will know who rules you and we have a large number of laws in many countries occupied by the Zionist empire, which prohibit and criminalize any criticism of Jewry and Jewish power, case closed. Don’t forget its the same evil Zionist empire that murdered 65 million innocent Soviet citizens.
LOL….now we’re into bigotry and racism. This really is a very stupid site.
See are l anti racist post exposing organized Jewry and their religion is a religion of hate racism and supremacism, for racist supremacists Jews who believe they are the master race full of bigotry and lies for their lord Satan.
See very good videos of how Jews treat Goyim. http://www.jta.org/2010/10/… Sephardi leader Yosef: Non-Jews exist to serve Jews
By Marcy OsterOctober 18, 2010 10:40pm
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Israeli Sephardic leader Rabbi Ovadia Yosef in his weekly Saturday night sermon said that non-Jews exist to serve Jews. “Goyim were born only to serve us. Without that, they have no place in the world; only to serve the People of Israel,” he said during a public discussion of what kind of work non-Jews are allowed to perform on Shabbat. “Why are gentiles needed? They will work, they will plow, they will reap. We will sit like an effendi and eat,” he said to some laughter.
Yosef, the spiritual leader of the Shas Party and the former chief Sephardi rabbi of Israel,
The west has been conquered by racist Jewish supremacists who want to first exterminate white Christian Europeans, because racist Jews think all non whites are racially inferior and lower then animals, so they are not a threat to Jewish world domination and power. Any minorities who temporally benefit from this policy will greatly regret it once whites have been exterminated by Jews as the non whites will be next with any left alive to be treated extremely harshly as slaves as it says in the Talmud. In the West it is now the Zionist empire like apartheid South Africa. When one group totally dominates all others with superior legal rights to all the others enshrined under the law, it’s not equal it’s a racist dictatorship.
For some proof

Who are the real haters the history of slavery in the Americas?
Nothing beats the confession, bragging etc. for evidence.
A law was just passed in Britain making it illegal to criticize in any way or talk about Jewish power in Britain. It‘s the global Zionist empire as it is official and the law, Jews are legally superior with more rights than all others in Britain, including Anglos in what was once an Anglo country. When one group totally dominates all others with superior legal rights to all the others enshrined under the law, it’s a racist dictatorship like South Africa was.
Also Election interfering how about the Israeli Mossad diplomat caught on camera conspiring to “take down” UK politician?
See Aljazeria videos. When the Mossad decides who is the PM and or a cabinet minister in the British government and has complete control over all major political parties. It’s even on video now!!! How can the evidence be any stronger?? Just like when Victoria Newland another Jew said Yats would be the PM of Ukrinae and he was a few weeks later. Jews are now superior to Anglos in Britain even under British law.
So there it is official, Jews run the British government! Its even on video! Total news black out on it in our now Soviet once free western media.
If there were any honest courts left in Britain all these MPS and Jewish organizations would be arrested, tried and sent to jail as traitors.
Al Jazeera surrenders
Stop Everything You Do and Watch This!!!

Al Jazeera Investigations – The Lobby EP 1
So that you learn how Israel and its Lobby are plotting against Britain and the Brits.
So you learn about our treacherous MPs who are shamelessly serving a foreign state and its foreign interests.
Ask yourself, how is it that the most important news about the institutional betrayal of our political system is delivered to us by a Qatari TV network? Shouln’t it be The Guardian, the BBC or The Daily Telegraph that look into these matters? Is it a coincidence?
The Israeli Embassy told us that Shai Masot was a junior employee. Watch this video and judge for yourself, he seems to run the entire Labour Party.
Britain must probe the activity of the Jewish Lobby and the Israeli Embassy immediately !!!
And if you want to understand why this plot is embedded in Jewish culture just read this.

Why Did the Al-Jazeera Expose Fail?
January 14, 2017 / Gilad Atzmon
http://www.gilad.co.uk/writings/2017/1/14/why-did-the-al-jazeera-expose-fail
By Gilad Atzmon
“The Lobby”, the Al-Jazeerah expose of the Israeli Embassy and the Jewish Lobby infiltration into British politics is a landmark in journalism. It seems that Qatari TV outsmarted Israeli intelligence in the UK and beyond.
In the program, an undercover journalist named ‘Robin’ managed to infiltrate into the corridors of the Jewish lobby in Britain, secured the trust of a senior Israeli intelligence officer and, most importantly, managed to reveal the depths of Israeli interference in British politics.
We learned how Israel and its lobby plot against Britain and the Brits. In the program, Shai Masot, an Israeli official was caught on camera conspiring to “bring down” a British minister.
We learned how our own treacherous MPs shamelessly serve a foreign power and foreign interests. In Episode 3 we witness British politicians and Israeli lobbyists such as MP Joan Ryan caught on camera smearing a Labour voter as an ‘anti-Semite’, and practically conspiring against her own party. Ms Ryan does it all for the Jewish state, a state with a horrid record on human rights and war crimes. I wonder what is it that motivates MP Ryan? Is it greed, or is it just power seeking?
The Brits should certainly ask themselves how come it is left to a Qatari TV network to reveal the shocking news about their democracy being taken over by a foreign Lobby. Should this not be the concern for the BBC or the Guardian? And even after the Al-Jazeera expose, the British media remained silent and the question must be asked: would it have stayed as silent had Shai Masot been a Russian? Would it have stayed as silent if MP Joan Ryan was exposed as an Iranian lobbyist?
Election interfearing how about the Israeli Mossad diplomat caught on camera conspiring to “take down” UK politician?
If there were any honest courts left in Britain all these MPS and Jewish organizations would be arrested, tried and sent to jail as traitors.

“Undercover Investigation”: How Many British MPs Are Working for Israel?
By Jonathan Cook
Global Research, January 09, 2017
Jonathan Cook 8 January 2017
Region: Europe, Middle East & North Africa
In-depth Report: PALESTINE
Al Jazeera are to be congratulated on an undercover investigation exposing something most of us could probably have guessed: that some Israeli embassy staff in the UK – let’s not pussy around, Mossad agents – are working with senior political activists and politicians in the Conservative and Labour parties to subvert their own parties from within, and skew British foreign policy so that it benefits Israeli, rather than British, interests.
One cannot really blame Israel for doing this. Most states promote their interests as best they can. But one can and should expose and shame the British politicians who are collaborating with Israel in further harming Britain’s representative democracy.
It is not as though these people cannot be easily identified. They even advertise what they are up to. They are members of the Conservative and Labour Friends of Israel. They dominate both parliamentary parties, but especially the Conservatives. According to the CFI’s figures, fully 80 per cent of Tory MPs belong to the party’s Friends of Israel group.
Once, no one would have hesitated to call British politicians acting in the interests of a foreign power, and very possibly taking financial benefits for doing so, “traitors”. And yet, as Al Jazeera’s secretly filmed footage shows, Israeli spies like Shai Masot can readily meet and conspire with a Tory minister’s much-trusted aide to discuss how best to “take down” the deputy foreign minister, Alan Duncan, over his criticisms of Israel’s illegal settlements in the occupied territories. Maria Strizzolo, education minister Robert Halfon’s assistant, suggests engineering a “little scandal” to damage Duncan.
Masot and Israel’s intelligence services cannot infuence British foreign policy through the opposition Labour party, but that doesn’t prevent them from also taking a keen interest in Labour MPs. Masot is filmed talking to Labour Friends of Israel’s chair, Joan Ryan, about “lots of money” – more than £1 million – he has received from the Israeli government to send yet another batch of Labour MPs on an all-expenses-paid trip to Israel, where they will be wined and dined, and primed by top officials to adopt even more extreme pro-Israel positions. LFI is known for sending the largest proportion of MPs to Israel on these kinds of trips.
Does that have an effect on British domestic politics. You bet it does! Israel isn’t a charity.
A large number of those who have been making Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn’s life a misery belong to Labour Friends of Israel. They are the same MPs who have been talking up an “anti-semitism crisis” in the Labour party – based on zero tangible evidence – since Corbyn became party leader. Were they following the dictates of their conscience? Did they really fear an anti-semitism plague had suddenly beset their party? Or were they playing deeply cynical politics to oust a leader who supports justice for the Palestinian people and is considered by Israel’s rightwing government, which has no interest in making peace with the Palestinians, to be bad news for Israel?
Al Jazeera’s investigation has not been shown yet, so we can rely only on the snippets released so far, either by Al Jazeera itself or additional leaks of the investigation provided by the Mail on Sunday.
It is worth listening to a Tory minister in the government of recently departed David Cameron, who writes anonymously in the Mail on Sunday. S/he warns of a double whammy to British politics caused by Israel and its British partisans – one that is starting to approach the damage done to the US political system by Israel.
The British government skews its foreign policy to avoid upsetting Jewish donors, s/he says. MPs, meanwhile, act like agents of a foreign power – s/he generously assumes unwittingly – rather than representatives of the British people. Forget international law, these politicians are not even promoting British interests.
Here is what the minister writes:
British foreign policy is in hock to Israeli influence at the heart of our politics, and those in authority have ignored what is going on.
For years the CFI and Labour Friends of Israel (LFI), have worked with – even for – the Israeli government and their London embassy to promote Israeli policy and thwart UK Government policy and the actions of Ministers who try to defend Palestinian rights.
Lots of countries try to force their views on others, but what is scandalous in the UK is that instead of resisting it, successive Governments have submitted to it, taken donors’ money, and allowed Israeli influence-peddling to shape policy and even determine the fate of Ministers.
Even now, if I were to reveal who I am, I would be subjected to a relentless barrage of abuse and character assassination. …
It now seems clear people in the Conservative and Labour Parties have been working with the Israeli embassy, which has used them to demonise and trash MPs who criticise Israel; an army of Israel’s useful idiots in Parliament.
This is politically corrupt, and diplomatically indefensible. The conduct of certain MPs needs to be exposed as the poisonous and deceitful infiltration of our politics by the unwitting agents of another country …
We need a full inquiry into the Israeli Embassy, the links, access and funding of the CFI and LFI.
It is rare that I agree with a Tory government minister, but such an inquiry cannot come too soon.
Note too that it is an indictment of the UK media that Al-Jazeera, rather than the British fourth estate, has exposed Israel’s moves to subvert the British political system. It is not as though reporters from the BBC, Guardian, Times and the Mail haven’t had ministers like the one above complaining to them for years about interference from Israel. So why did they not long ago send in undercover teams to expose this collusion between Israel and British MPs?
We have had weeks of stories about the supposed efforts of Russia and Putin to subvert the US election, without a hint yet of any evidence, and based on a central allegation against the Russians that they compromised the election result by releasing truthful information about wrongdoing in the Democratic party. Russian diplomats have been expelled based on these evidence-free claims, and President Obama has vowed to take other, covert action against Russia.
Here we have documented evidence of the Israeli government secretly plotting with “friendly” British MPs to oust a British government minister. If that isn’t interference in the British political system I don’t know what is. Will we similarly have weeks of coverage of this story in the UK media, or will it be quickly filed away and forgotten?
And will any action beyond the removal of Masot be demanded by the British government? It seems unlikely. The Foreign Office has already issued a statement saying that, following Masot’s dismissal, it considers the matter closed.

Hot off the press: Israel plot to ‘take down’ Tory minister:
http://www.gilad.co.uk/writings/2017/1/8/hot-off-the-press-israel-plot-to-take-down-tory-minister
January 08, 2017 / Gilad Atzmon
Both The Daily Mail and The Guardian are reporting tonight that an Israeli embassy official has been caught on camera in an undercover sting plotting to “take down” members of the British parliament regarded as hostile, including the Foreign Office minister Sir Alan Duncan – an outspoken supporter of Palestinian statehood.
In the video Shai Masot, who describes himself as an ‘officer in the IDF’ was recorded in conversation about a hit list of British MPs.
Many commentators including yours truly have been arguing for years that the Israeli Lobby is a disaster in our midst. Tonight the Brits can witness for themselves the level of Mossad interference in British politics.
If British Jews are really concerned about Anti Semitism maybe they should consider how to disassociate themselves from the Jewish State.

Jewish Power is now British Law – It’s Official!
December 13, 2016 / Gilad Atzmon
By Gilad Atzmon
For years I have argued that Jewish power is the power to silence criticism of Jewish Power. Now, UK Prime Minister Theresa May has confirmed that my observation is spot on.
PM May has decided to accept the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism and to integrate it into British law.
According to the IHRA, “antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.”
Pretty lazy definition I’d say. Substitute the word ‘antisemitism’ with ‘bigotry’ and the word ‘Jews’ with ‘one people’ and you end up with a reasonably good definition of hatred itself. But our Theresa thinks Jews deserve special protection. And why? Because although in Britain, as in the USA, Germany and France everyone is equal in the eyes of the law, Jews are somehow more equal than others.
Sir Eric Pickles, government envoy for ‘post-Holocaust issue’s, is also committed to the Jews and the primacy of their suffering, so much so that he has morphed into a giant gefilte fish. As Pickles told the BBC, the new definition “catches up with modern antisemitism”. It was, he said, “important not to conflate Jewish people with Israel.”
I couldn’t agree more. We should never conflate Jews with Israel. First, Jews are wonderfully, innocent, peace loving people – except perhaps the 14 million or so of them who support Israel and give the entire tribe a bad name – and second, it would be an absurd to ignore the five or so Jews who oppose Israel and truly support Palestine. Maybe Pickles should use his position and influence to lobby the Israeli government to stop defining Israel as the “Jewish state” – now, wouldn’t that stop people conflating the Jews with their state!
According to the IHRA, antisemitism can include denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination. Again, I couldn’t agree more. Since Britain supported the rise of ISIS and armed its battalions, it’s only fair that it should also support the Jews-only state. And it’s never too late for Britain to admit that maybe an Aryan-only State is also a pretty kosher idea. And what about a White state? Do white people not also have the right to self-determination? I think we should be told.
Nor should it surprise us that man-of principle Jeremy Corbyn and his Labour Party rushed to back May’s move. After all, who more than that ‘man of the people’ Jeremy Corbyn would understand the need of British workers to attach themselves to Jewish sensitivities?
The Jewish Chronicle was kind enough to list the names of the Jewish leaders that congratulated the move. For example, Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis saluted the Prime Minister for her commitment to tackling the scourge of anti-Semitism and Jonathan Arkush, Board of Deputies president also welcomed the government decision. I wonder, is there not one Jewish leader who can see that such a move, one that makes Jews special in the eyes of the law, is a recipe for disaster? Does any Jewish leader really believe such a law will make British Jews loved or respected?
Jewish history actually proves the opposite. It is always Jewish exceptionalism that evolves into Jewish disaster.

Can you post a picture? The old bills are still legal tender in the US but are pretty rare these days. I would suggest just trying a different place. – Chris Mueller Apr 10 ’14 at 4:06

Look for a different currency exchange? US currency remains legal tender forever, and 12 years is not that old. I just looked in my wallet and found a Series 2004 $20, which I must have got from an ATM just last week. If you know anyone who’s traveling to the US in the near future, you could also sell it to them. – Nate Eldredge Apr 10 ’14 at 4:07

What you are talking about is this 100/50 USD bill:
I have had this problem many times. If you end up with old USD bills older that series 2003-6 then it won’t be accepted by most countries and money changers outside the United States. More frequently the problem I have noticed is with the bills with the front face photo to be smaller than the current bills. Bills with the enlarged pictures i.e the new ones are widely accepted.
Note: This does not apply to the smaller denomination such as 1, 5, 10 as these denominations still use the smaller pictures.
I would suggest two solutions. The first is to try a large bank within the city you are traveling to. These have sophisticated machines and UV scanners which would allow them to check your money without concern and exchange it. Unfortunately this method is not fool proof and you may get rejected in one or two places before you come forth one which will accept it.
They are still legal tender and will be valid in the United States. They are not used outside due to lack of security within these old bills. So obviously the other solution is to either spend them in the United States or deposit them in an ATM in the United States where they are easily accepted. You can then withdraw from the ATM smaller bills which will be fresh and would most likely not have this issue.
Large-sized Series of 1880 United States Notes; the $20 note displays Alexander Hamilton and a red scalloped seal, and the $10 Daniel Webster and a large red spiked seal.
Hmmm
Statements of fact are not examples of bigotry or racism my friend. There is no question at this point that zionists control Hollywood, the main stream media and the Federal Reserve, not to mention US foreign policy and have for quite some time now. Your pathetic attempt at impeaching legitimate commentary using the now fully discredited use of the phony specter of “antisemitism” only proves that ad hominem attacks like yours don’t work any more.

Honoring Rabbi Yosef How His Approval Proves Jewish Supremacism
Often when I discuss the pervasiveness of Jewish racism toward non-Jews, many Christians and other non-Jews are incredulous. The reason why of course is that they have not been permitted to know what the Jews of Israel an the Jews of the world know about Jewish extremism in the highest echelons of Israel the global Jewish community.
The Jewish-dominated global news and entertainment is quick to headline any expression of so-called anti-Semitism, but thoroughly censors Jewish anti-Gentilism from the knowledge of Gentiles.
Below is a screenshot an article from the official Israeli government news agency Arutz Sheva. It concerns a massive, recent memorial in Israel to former chief Sephardic rabbi of Israel, Ovadia Yosef.
The article shows how Yosef was part of the ruling coalition of Israel for decades. It shows how in Israel he routinely referred to as the “Light of Israel.”
When Yosef died last year at 93 he was accorded the largest funeral in Israel. Almost the entirty of the political, religious, and ideological establishment of Israel gathered to honor Yosef, including the Prime Minister of Israel Benyamin Netanyahu and most of the Israeli Knesset.
But, what is hardly mentioned in the Jewish-dominated media conglomerates is that rabbi Yosef was was an incredibly extreme Jewish supremacist who openly advocated genocide of Palestinians and he equated all Gentiles of the world with animals whose only purpose on Earth was to serve Jews.
All this was headlines in Israel. Every Jew in Israel is aware of Yosef genocidal and hateful pronouncements against Palestinians, Europeans and all Gentiles, but this did not stop universal adoration for the former chief Sephardic rabbi of Israel.
Here are some of his direct quotes, fully reported in the Israeli media, but almost completely suppressed in the Western Zionist-Controlled media.
Rabbi Yosef Advocates Genocide is Honored by the World Zionist Establisment
In the October 13, 2013 Times of Israel, shows how the leaders of Jewry all over the world honored Yosef after his death. it quotes the Israeli Prime Minister’s adulation of Yosef:
* Netanyahu called the late rabbi a “great scholar” and said Yosef “uniquely combined Judaism and humanity” and “cared deeply for anyone in need.”
Presumably Netanyahu was referring to Yosef’s sermon that:
Only purpose of all Gentiles is to be Servants to Jews
“Goyim were born only to serve us. Without that, they have no place in the world; only to serve the People of Israel.
“Why are gentiles needed? They will work, they will plow, they will reap. We will sit like an effendi and eat,” he said to laughter during a weekly sermon.
Compares All Gentiles to Animals
Yosef also said that the lives of non-Jews are protected as Jews should do so for a donkey, in order to prevent financial loss to Jews.
“With gentiles, it will be like any person: They need to die, but God will give them longevity. Why? Imagine that one’s donkey would die, they’d lose their money. This is his servant. That’s why he gets a long life, to work well for this Jew.” (Jewish Telegraph Agency, October 18, 2010) http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/1270038.stm
Is Judaism then really compatible with what Netanyahu called “humanity?”
Netanyahu and Jews all over the world have proclaimed that Yosef was Judaism’s greatest scholar. Judaism’s greatest scholar who proclaimed to his fellow Jews that the central texts of Judaism maintain that non-Jews entire purpose upon the Earth is only to be servants to Jews.
Imagine if any public figure would compare Jews to animals whose only purpose was to be servants to Gentiles? Think they would be lauded? Do you think they would be honored by the media?
Yosef Openly Calls for Genocide
Furthermore, he proclaimed that Jewish holy scripture provide that Jewish enemies such as the Palestinians should be genocided, that their very seed should be wiped from the Earth:
“…waste their seed and exterminate them, devastate them and vanish them from this world…” (BBC, 10th April 2001, “Rabbi calls for annihilation of Arabs.”)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/1270038.stm
Obviously Yosef and Judaism are very compatible with Human Rights and Values!
Now matter how shocking these revelations may appear to you, they are absolutely true.
Now I ask you to rationally think about what these facts tell us about the world.
Can you imagine media and political reaction if any famous person in America, Europe or around the world said things about Jews even remotely similar to what rabbi Yosef said about Gentiles?
The media would demonize him, The politicians would all express their distaste for his despicable racism. Would a man who said that we “should wipe the Jewish seed from the earth” be honored in any nation. Would he be accepted in political coalition?
Not only does the honoring of Yosef by leading Jews all over the world reveal underlying Jewish attitudes of complete unconcern about the hateful Jewish extremism of Yosef against Gentiles, but it also shows their power in the non-Jewish world to cover up this incredible racism that exists among powerful Jewish supremacists around the world.
After all, if the Jewish establishment and influence is sincerely concerned about racism and supremacism, would they not condemn Yosef and Israel’s honoring of Yosef?
In fact, they cover it up. in the same way someone who shields a criminal from exposure would be complicit in the crime, the Jewish establishment in fact is protecting Jewish tribalism and supremacism by suppressing Gentile knowledge of it.
To expose Jewish racism is no more anti-Semitic than exposing racism or oppression among any other people.
Ironically the honest and courageous people of the world who expose Jewish racism and intolerance, human rights violations — are the ones labeled the racists, while the world’s most extreme ethnic, tribal supremacists are protected by their Zio media and their Zio political puppets around the world.
See my anti- racist post compared to your racist supremacist post. You are not the master race.
Organized Jewry are the biggest racists and supremacists in the history of mankind, preaching hatred and racism which is why they were the main ally of Aparthied South Africa.
See videos of how Jews treat Goyims especially blacks in Israel making South African racists look like a black loving Lilberals in comparison.
Organized Jewry and their religion is a religion of hate racism and supremacism, for racist supremacists Jews, who believe they are the master race full of bigotry and lies for their lord Satan.
See very good s videos of how Jews treat Goyim.

Sephardi leader Yosef: Non-Jews exist to serve Jews
By Marcy OsterOctober
18, 2010 10:40pm
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Israeli Sephardic leader Rabbi Ovadia Yosef in his
weekly Saturday night sermon said that non-Jews exist to serve Jews. “Goyim were born only to serve us. Without that, they have no place in the
world; only to serve the People of Israel,” he said during a public discussion
of what kind of work non-Jews are allowed to perform on Shabbat.
“Why are gentiles needed? They will work, they will plow, they will reap. We will sit like an effendi and eat,” he said to some laughter.
Yosef, the spiritual leader of the Shas Party and the former chief Sephardi rabbi of Israel,
The west had been conquered by racist Jewish supremacists who want to first exterminate white Christian Europeans, because racist Jews think all non whites are racially inferior and lower then animals, so they are not a threat to Jewish world domination and power. Any minorities who temporally benefit from this policy will greatly regret it once whites have been exterminated by Jews as the non whites will be next with any left alive to be treated extremely harshly as slaves as it says in the Talmud. In the West it is now the Zionist empire like apartheid South Africa. When one group totally dominates all others with superior legal rights to all the others enshrined under the law, it’s not equal it’s a racist dictatorship.

Oh that is right as Jews say, when Jews kills a Goyim it must never be remembered, but if Goy kills a Jew, it must never be forgotten as Goyim are less then animals and Jews are the superior, master race, according to Jews.
Lenin signed a decree calling for the establishment of The All-Russian Extraordinary Commission for Combating Counter-Revolution and Sabotage, also known as Cheka.
Its organizational structure was changed every few years, as were its names: From Cheka to GPU, later to NKVD, and later to KGB.
“We cannot know with certainty the number of deaths Cheka was responsible for in its various manifestations, but the number is surely at least 20 million, including victims of the forced collectivization, the hunger, large purges, expulsions, banishments, executions, and mass death at Gulags.
Alexander Solzhenitsyn. Speaking from personal experience as a Gulag prisoner, Solzhenitsyn gave a candid account of Jews in charge of the Soviet prison camps in his book, Two Hundred Years Together.
According to his observations, Jews made up a clear preponderance in the Gulag administration and in the early Bolshevist government, saying that of the 22 ministers in the first Soviet government three were Russian, one Georgian, one Armenian and 17 were Jews. In addition, he points out, from personal experience once again, that “two thirds of the Kiev Cheka” (secret police) were Jews.

Jewish Supremacism The Greatest Mass Murderers of all Time were Jews, says Jewish Columnist
In 2006, a remarkable article—and admission—appeared in the Israeli news source Ynet News. Titled “Stalin’s Jews” and written by Jewish columnist Sever Plocker, this piece confirmed that terrible crimes which Jewish Communists had committed under Stalin.
“We must not forget that some of greatest murderers of modern times were Jewish,” Plocker started out by saying. He went on to make a number of startling confessions:
“Here’s a particularly forlorn historical date: Almost 90 years ago, between the 19th and 20th of December 1917, in the midst of the Bolshevik revolution and civil war, Lenin signed a decree calling for the establishment of The All-Russian Extraordinary Commission for Combating Counter-Revolution and Sabotage, also known as Cheka.
“Within a short period of time, Cheka became the largest and cruelest state security organization. Its organizational structure was changed every few years, as were its names: From Cheka to GPU, later to NKVD, and later to KGB.
“We cannot know with certainty the number of deaths Cheka was responsible for in its various manifestations, but the number is surely at least 20 million, including victims of the forced collectivization, the hunger, large purges, expulsions, banishments, executions, and mass death at Gulags.
“Whole population strata were eliminated: Independent farmers, ethnic minorities, members of the bourgeoisie, senior officers, intellectuals, artists, labor movement activists, “opposition members” who were defined completely randomly, and countless members of the Communist party itself.
“In his new, highly praised book The War of the World, Historian Niall Ferguson writes that no revolution in the history of mankind devoured its children with the same unrestrained appetite as did the Soviet revolution. In his book on the Stalinist purges, Tel Aviv University’s Dr. Igal Halfin writes that Stalinist violence was unique in that it was directed internally.
“Lenin, Stalin, and their successors could not have carried out their deeds without wide-scale cooperation of disciplined ‘terror officials,’ cruel interrogators, snitches, executioners, guards, judges, perverts, and many bleeding hearts who were members of the progressive Western Left and were deceived by the Soviet regime of horror and even provided it with a kosher certificate.
“And us, the Jews? An Israeli student finishes high school without ever hearing the name Genrikh Yagoda, the greatest Jewish murderer of the 20th Century, the GPU’s deputy commander and the founder and commander of the NKVD.
“Yagoda diligently implemented Stalin’s collectivization orders and is responsible for the deaths of at least 10 million people.
“His Jewish deputies established and managed the Gulag system. After Stalin no longer viewed him favorably, Yagoda was demoted and executed, and was replaced as chief hangman in 1936 by Yezhov, the “bloodthirsty dwarf.”
The Jew Genrikh Yagoda, director of the NKVD, the Soviet Union’s Stalin-era security and intelligence agency.
“Yezhov was not Jewish but was blessed with an active Jewish wife. In his book Stalin: Court of the Red Star, Jewish historian Sebag Montefiore writes that during the darkest period of terror, when the Communist killing machine worked in full force, Stalin was surrounded by beautiful, young Jewish women.
“Stalin’s close associates and loyalists included member of the Central Committee and Politburo Lazar Kaganovich. Montefiore characterizes him as the “first Stalinist” and adds that those starving to death in Ukraine, an unparalleled tragedy in the history of human kind, did not move Kaganovich.
“Many Jews sold their soul to the devil of the Communist revolution and have blood on their hands for eternity. We’ll mention just one more: Leonid Reichman, head of the NKVD’s special department and the organization’s chief interrogator, who was a particularly cruel sadist.
Yagoda (center) inspecting the construction of the Moscow-Volga canal, built by slave labor from the Gulags.
“In 1934, according to published statistics, 38.5 percent of those holding the most senior posts in the Soviet security apparatuses were of Jewish origin. Even if we deny it, we cannot escape the Jewishness of ‘our hangmen,’ who served the Red Terror with loyalty and dedication from its establishment. After all, others will always remind us of their origin.”
The Gulags: Jewish-Run Concentration Camps
As mentioned above, the infamous Soviet Gulags were under the direct control of the Jew Yagoda. He was not the only such Jew involved in the running of these camps, in which millions were interned and nearly 1.4 million died.
The most famous revelation about the Jewish nature of the Gulags was that of famous dissident Alexander Solzhenitsyn. Speaking from personal experience as a Gulag prisoner, Solzhenitsyn gave a candid account of Jews in charge of the Soviet prison camps in his book, Two Hundred Years Together.
According to his observations, Jews made up a clear preponderance in the Gulag administration and in the early Bolshevist government, saying that of the 22 ministers in the first Soviet government three were Russian, one Georgian, one Armenian and 17 were Jews. In addition, he points out, from personal experience once again, that “two thirds of the Kiev Cheka” (secret police) were Jews.
In 1937, another book appeared in Germany called Jewish-Run Concentration Camps in the Soviet Union, which revealed that Communist Jews were the commandants of 11 out of the 12 main Gulags.
Organized Jewry and their religion is a religion of hate racism and supremacism, for racist supremacists Jews who believe they are the master race full of bigotry and lies for their lord Satan.

It’s Anglo-Zionist because the Zionists control it while the Anglos do their bidding both as frontmen politicians and as soldiers on the ground. There is also substantial Anglo moral support for the Zionist empire within the Evangelitard Zionist Christian community
There is no Anglo support without the Jewish owned media to brainwash the masses to jump off the cliff. Even the media control is now breaking down as it did in the Soviet Union, which is why laws are passed to make it illegal to criticise Jews and organized Jewry.

Excellent piece, Saker! One of your best. Spasibo!
Aside from the occasional bouts of mindless noxious trollery from the dark denizens of the Empire’s state security apparatus/circus, South Front is a rather interesting and useful site. It is a shame that the dark denizens have to censor it on Wikipedia. That should be one indication and measure of South Front’s success.
A few points I can agree with. I suspect you’ll grow more then a few more inches on your fingernails before the uhh “Empire” finally gives up the ghost. As for the much feared Neocons: Haven’t you heard, they meet every second Thursday of the month at the Arlington Va. Arby’s. Bill Kristol always has horse radish on his pot roast sandwich. The others usually fall into a light slumber before David Frum gets back from the counter with their orders. Bush the Elder called them the crazies. Bush theYounger is and was the only person in government ever paid them any attention. Now that W is gone, though his stench remains, you can rest easy.
The deep state, ooooh sounds ominous. You mean the bureaucracy. Yes from time to time it becomes a collection of corrupted fiefdoms. It’s happened before and it’s been cleaned up before. There really is nothing new under the sun. Again don’t get overly agitated. Trump is not looking for confrontation with anyone. What he is seeking to do is get adequate compensation from our friends and frenimies for the cost of maintaining open sea lanes and trade routes. I believe he will succeed admirably. His goals are realistic and entirely achievable. More importantly, Trump has accurately deduced that at the end of the day, it is the American people who are the boss. He is striving to act upon that knowledge and in so doing, he just may go down in history as a great President. I would encourage you not to worry to much about things. Take Syria for instance. Assad is a member of a minority sect. His population is Sunni while his greatest ally, outside of Russia which has other fish to fry, is Iran, which is Shia and is closely allied with Assad’s own Alliwaite tribe. Meanwhile, his natural enemy is Turkey which as luck would have it, is Sunni. You starting to get the picture here Vern. The natural and historic rivalries in this sector are so ripe with opportunity that President Trump can nudge a little here and push a little there such that he can keep power balanced however he wants there with minor effort or cost. Relax.
There are a host of other situations throughout the world where the actors are different but the opportunities abound. Domestically, once again Trump is on the right track. I know it’s all the rage to think globally but guess what. The nation state is still and will continue to be and should continue to be, the route to lasting peace. So much good about the concept of nations and so much bad about the concept and practice of globalism. Especially as those concepts apply to the concept of democracy. President Trump saw that. He continues to see it.
I think the Presidents inclination is to follow the dictates of his insights. That alone should insure he wii make mostly good decisions with regard to domestic policy. Your conclusion that the American military is an abysmal failure is, to say the absolute least, highly debatable. So I’m not eve going to bother to rebut it. What I will do is suggest to you there is another leg of American power and influence you haven’t given due, or for that matter, any consideration to. You do realize the worlds currency markets are pegged to the Yankee dollar don’t you. That means we control the worlds currency printing press. In a world where complex transactions are the rule and not the exception, that gives the haha “Empire” tremendous influence. That alone, even if our entire military arsenal only consisted do a sling shot and a box of stones would be tremendous leverage in world affairs.
Alas though I will stipulate that you are right, the Empire is doomed to fall. Anytime in the next 100,000 years Yellowstone could blow and take with it, the western states. Or, maybe the San Andreas fault will give way and California could drop into the blue Pacific. On second thought, that second option might turn out to be a good thing. I found your rumblings entertaining. Until you learn and develop a legitimate appreciation of current and historical
events, being entertaining isn’t the worst thing that can be said about a person.
Jimmy, you have been MISSING from this discussion for a very long time. How man times have you heard this one? Good material, it is sure to piss off most of the people on this site.
I am interested in the topic of Deep State media influence/control. As an example, this recent article by Gareth Porter criticizes the UN support for the US line on the White Helmets, complaining that they have been involved in falsifying reports of civilian attacks in order to blame Assad’s armies: https://consortiumnews.com/2017/03/11/a-flawed-un-investigation-on-syria/ The article itself focuses on factual claims rather than politics per se, about an issue that would seem newsworthy, topical, and intersting. So I ask, wishing my question was not just rhetorical, what it would take to publish this article in a mass circulation outlet, overcoming the politics. To the extent that is not pratical, it seems that Deep State power is still very strong.
Seymour Hersh, at one time, was the single NYT reporter who would break critical news stories reflecting badly on the CIA. Then they had a parting of the ways. Because of his fame and newsworthiness, the London Review of Books, outside of the US, non-sensically (but fantastically) allows him to public news and editorials there, including this piece arguing that it was probably al Nusrah that was involved in using Sarin gas: https://www.lrb.co.uk/v36/n08/seymour-m-hersh/the-red-line-and-the-rat-line
Clearly, for going against US State politics in foreign policy, there is a tough road and a price.
I think that was both an excellent and interesting article so thanks for that; BUT, I have a few minor squabbles over certain things, namely:
You state “the US did prove to be a most capable adversary in naval and aerial warfare”
….Whilst you infer this to be past tense, I am not so sure you are correct; they may have proved themselves to be the most capable adversary BUT AGAINST WHOM ?. No-marks in general.
You state “How did a country which produced the UH-1 Huey or the F-16 suddenly start producing Apaches and F-35s?!”
…..WHY ?, just follow the money (PS you missed out the F-22, which could have been the best) –

It is all about the money – the politicians getting their states some work and the CF it produces.
You state “And while they still are much more capable than the many European militaries (which are a joke)”
…… Are you sure about that ?. The SAS trained with and trained the Russian special forces. 2/3 maybe 4 European forces could take the Americans out. That is a fact.
You state “So all I will add here is one form of suicide which I believe the AngloZionist Empire has in common with the EU:”
…..I am in two minds about this now. Personally, you are using a term of Anglo xxxx very loosely here and personally I think you are incorrect.
You state “when I see how they see themselves as the leaders of the world and how they sincerely believe that they need to get involved in every conflict on the planet”
…..Ask yourself who starts these conflicts in the first place.
You state “Alas (for Trump), there is no way to crush Daesh without working with those who already have boots on the ground: the Iranians, the Russians and the Syrians”
….. I agree but surely the best and quickest way to get rid of ISIS, ISIL Daesh etc. if for the Americans to go home.
As stated an excellent article BUT my comments are my view only and I shall stick to my views until proven wrong.
As a side issue, I also think you will be found to be mistake on the Anglo-Zionist thing + the fact that you think the World is led by the US.
My view only.
