Obama's Sour Grapes

The Obama regime, reeling from their spectacular diplomatic, military and election year setbacks and failures, has decided to give a big middle finger to Russia and others by engaging in childish temper tantrums.

As revenge for Russia’s assistance to the Syrian government and army in liberating Aleppo and many parts of Syria in the last year or so, as well as for Donald Trump’s presidential election victory, Obama decided to smear Russia with false accusations of cyberattacks, hacking, and manipulating the election in favor of Donald Trump.

Obama has also announced the release of a report which will prove Russian interference. This is reminiscent of Obama’s drive to bomb Syria in September of 2013, when he issued a report about Syria's use of chemical weapons, without any credible evidence to back up any of his reasons for doing so.

The Obama regime at that time thought, in true G.W. Bush style, that it could push through another illegal US military intervention on the basis of cooked-up,emotionally-driven propaganda and scary stories about the Syrian government and military’s alleged use of chemical weapons.

But when members of congress, as well as governments of allied countries and the public worldwide refused to buy these fact-free accusations, Obama was left with a problem.

Obama tried to lie the country into another unnecessary war. The country didn’t buy it. His allies didn’t buy it. 

Desperate, the Obama regime looked for a way to extricate itself out of the mess it got itself into.

And who saved their asses at the last moment? Vladimir Putin. 

He got the Syrians to renounce all production and use of chemical weapons. Those chemical weapons were subsequently destroyed, with the US assisting in their destruction.

For Putin’s assistance in cleaning up multiple US messes, Russia got sanctioned, falsely accused of hacking and manipulating the US presidential election, and war crimes in Syria.

In the latest bout of Obama’s fit of frustration, he decided to expel 35 Russian diplomats and close down some facilities used by Russian diplomatic staff.

As with the Syrian chemical weapons case in 2013, there is no credible evidence of Russian hacking and interference in the US presidential election of 2016. 

Numerous former diplomats and retired CIA workers have stated that there is no evidence for these accusations, and that Obama is making things up for political reasons. 

They’ve pointed to these information leaks to be the work of insiders, angered by Hillary Clinton’s manipulation and unethical acts, from Benghazi to the high-jacking of the DNC; which colluded with the Clintons to destroy Bernie Sanders and his campaign, even though he was more popular.

These accusations and actions against Russia are simply the result of the Obama regime's sour grapes.
 
Obama's failure to force regime change in Syria, being outdone by Russia strategically and militarily, the election loss of Billary, and inability to bring down Russia and Putin since 2014 have greatly upset Obama and his handlers.

Unable to cope with the consequences of their failed policies and bad judgment, and to cover up their crimes and unethical dealings, they decided to lash out at, and scapegoat everyone they can.

Obama’s recent irresponsible and foolish actions against Russian diplomatic staff, shows how immature and petty Obama has become in his last weeks in office.

This act was also a deliberate attempt to provoke Russia into a counter-reaction that would create more animosity between the US and Russia.

But Putin the strategic master has checkmated Obama’s idiocy once more.

President Putin has announced that even though Russia reserves the right to retaliate for this latest act of kitchen diplomacy, Russia nevertheless won’t expel any US diplomatic staff. It will let them stay in Russia, not disrupt their families’ holidays, and even invited accredited US diplomatic staff to the Christmas and New Year’s parties at the Kremlin. 

Putin has decided to post-pone any and all retaliatory measures, and wait and see what Trump will do.

This was a master stroke of diplomatic skill. This was the action of a responsible, mature adult against the juvenile action of an imbecilic lame-duck president who has actually outdone the criminally-repugnant George W. Bush in depravity and conceit.

In one shot, Vladimir Putin took the wind out of Obama’s sails. Putin has made Obama look like a fool in front of the entire world.

Putin’s opinion of Obama is so low that he doesn’t even see the need to hit back.

Putin has turned out to be the bigger man, and claimed the moral high-ground.

This was an act which I myself hoped Putin would take. One didn’t have to be a political scientist with years of experience to see how transparently dishonest, reckless and stupid Obama’s actions were, and what their purpose was.

Obama is on his way out. He has a short-timer’s attitude, and is just showing a big fuck you to the entire world before he leaves.

Hopefully, after January 20, 2017, Trump will show Obama a big middle finger by rescinding his latest brain-farts. 

Obama has gone from hero to a big fat zero, literally overnight. This is his legacy after eight years of misrule.

By the way, ever since the election, Billary's supporters have been saying that she got more popular votes. So how do you win the popular vote, but lose the election? Either Russia's efforts to help Donald Trump win were 100% worthless, or Russia had nothing to do with this at all-which it didn't.

But if Russia did manipulate the elections in favor of Trump, and this support was responsible for his victory, then he would've gotten most of the popular votes, right? 

So if Russia did manipulate the presidential votes, then they must've manipulated them in Hillary's favor, since according to her drones, she got more popular votes.

If there truly was foreign interference in the election, it would've been caught immediately, and everyone would know it very quickly. It would be announced officially, evidence presented without any problem, an investigation done, and election results annulled. All electors would be put under the microscope, and those found to be compromised removed and undoubtedly charged with all sorts of anti-espionage and treason laws.

The FBI, CIA, NSA have an interest in maintaining the status quo. They surely kept a watchful eye over the election to sniff out any and all foreign and domestic attempts at interference in the election. 

But the election results were recognized. The electoral college met on December 19th, and voted for Trump without any hindrance. This would've never happened if the election was rigged or compromised by any outside actors.

So this proves that these allegations against Russia are politically-motivated lies designed to tie Trumps hands, as well as to punish him for winning. 

So if the Billary drones want something to blame her loss on (besides the fact that she was a bad candidate), then they can blame the real culprit: America's archaic and antiquated electoral college system, which considers the popular vote unimportant.

Liberation and Lies

The Syrian city of Aleppo has been freed from western-sponsored terrorist militant control.

But even before the war-weary residents of that city got to breathe a sigh of relief, the western regimes and their controlled media were out in full-force, accusing Syrian Army and Russia of ‘atrocities,’ ‘bombings,’ ‘summary killings,’ and ‘executions of civilians.’

The jubilant Syrian crowds celebrating the liberation of Aleppo were hardly noticed in the west. All over the western media channels the mood was somber, as if Hitler and the Nazis won WW2.

They talked about Aleppo ‘falling,’ to, and being ‘captured’ by the Syrian army, like when Warsaw fell to, and was captured by the Germans in 1939.

But all these stories of Syrian and Russian ‘war crimes’ are just war atrocity propaganda. It is simply sour grapes over the loss of Aleppo by the western-sponsored jihadist criminals. It is a huge PR loss for them.

Aleppo is the largest city in Syria. It is the country’s industrial and commercial center. It was also the main base of operations of the US-sponsored Al Qaeda, Al Nusra, Ahrar al Sham and the Nour al Zenki jihadist militants, among others.

The defeat of these militants crushes the US strategy of regime change in Syria. Many militants took the amnesty offer. Others took advantage of the Syrian government’s offer to let them leave the city. These militants are the worst of the worst. They were transported to Idlib, which is a nest of Salafist militias that even the US regime doesn’t want to work with.

The separation of militants that the US dragged its feet on since February of 2016, and failed to do, has finally been achieved this week by Russian and Syrian militaries. John Kerry once used the excuse that separating these militants will be a problem because they don’t trust Assad to give them safe passage.

Well, it seems like that fear was unfounded.

But all the screaming, twisting of facts, ‘fake news’ about Russian and Syrian atrocities is all a cover, not just for the sake of damage control because of the serious strategic and military loss in Syria for the west. It is also a cover for all the lies that the west told about Syria and Aleppo for the past five years.

What the western regimes fear, is now that Aleppo is once again under the control of the Syrian government, lots of embarrassing evidence will come to light that will expose all the lies and deceit that the western regimes told the world.

Some are already starting to see the light of day.

Remember when the US regime stated that there are only 200 militants in the city, and the rest are civilians who are being bombed by evil Assad?

It now turned out that the amount of militants was in the thousands, and that they held the civilians hostages, denied them food and aid, threatened them if they tried to flee to the government-controlled part of Aleppo, and arrested and tortured people who tried to escape.

Those civilians are telling horrible stories of the rebels and their inhumane treatment. They are also praising Syrian and Russian forces for freeing them.

Remember how the western regimes and their pathetic media outlets told us scary stories of the Syrian army gassing civilians?

Now that Aleppo is under Syrian government control, news footage reveals how schools and hospitals were turned by the rebels into weapons factories, arsenals, and chemical munitions production facilities with gas canisters and poisonous chemical compounds strewn around.

All this puts the western countries and their allies in a precarious position. It opens them up to serious accusations of war crimes, human rights abuses, and violating chemical weapons conventions.

Aleppo was never supposed to be lost. That it was is a serious liability for the western spin doctors. 

So what do they do? They try to lie themselves out of it with even more outrageous and bizarre lies than before.

More interesting revelations will surface, and lay more waste to western lying about the conflict in Syria.

The reality is that it is the US, UK, EU and GCC countries that are ultimately responsible for the carnage in Syria.

Granted, Assad isn’t a saint. He did some things that were unpleasant and unwise, and Syria is indeed in need of reforms.

But for the criminal governments in the west to exploit some peoples’ legitimate grievances in order to start a fake rebellion by training, arming, and sending religious fanatics and criminal mercenaries into Syria, stirring up sectarian hatred, letting them murder, massacre, and repress millions of people in the name of ‘democracy’ is absolutely disgusting and vile. It is the opposite of, and as far removed from true reform and democracy as it can possibly get.

There is absolutely no excuse for the level of evil the west has unleashed on Syria in the last 5 years, none! This chaos and damage stopped being Assad’s fault long ago. It is the west and their allies that bear the brunt of the responsibility for ruining Syria.

The US, EU, UK, GCC and all those who helped them are all war criminals. This cannot be stressed enough.

And no amount US government and media peddled, evidence-free, ‘fake news’ about Russian election hacking, cyberattacks, Putin helping Trump win, and about Russia and Syria committing ‘war crimes’ is going to wipe away this satanic stain from the US and its allies.

This is all made-up, sensationalist garbage meant to cover up their past lies, which are now being exposed from the rubble of Aleppo.

It seems the western regimes, their media whores, and anyone stupid enough to believe them have a very selective memory about ‘atrocities’ and ‘war crimes.’

Suddenly, all these politicians, pseudo-journalists and liberal interventionists are discovering bombed Syrian babies and dead civilians, all supposedly killed on purpose by the Syrians and Russians for no reason whatsoever.

Yet these same lying fakes and historically-challenged ignoramuses have forgotten the crushed and burned babies of Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Gaza, Yugoslavia, Somalia, Pakistan, Vietnam, Laos, and elsewhere, courtesy of the US military.

What about the Iraqi city of Mosul, where the US is currently bombing everything and everyone, and the media doesn’t even bat an eyelash? Nothing to see here, folks!

Remember the Iraqi city of Fallujah and what the US military did to it to ‘stop terrorism?’

What about the 19-month and going bombing and starvation of Yemen by the Saudis, with US and British weaponry and support? 

These fake western ‘humanitarians’ lament the destruction of cities by Syrian and Russian airstrikes in order to liberate them, but have these jerks ever seen pictures of how German and French cities looked like after their liberation by allied forces after WW2? Do they know the story of Dresden?

They don’t appear to. Convenient selective amnesia is a western trait.

And should anyone bring up these atrocious western sins to the attention span-challenged, fragile egos of the western public, they immediately try to blame Putin for their own incompetence and crimes.
 
The amount of carnage and misery that the US has committed throughout the world is beyond appalling. Too little people know the true hideous history of US crimes against the world.

The country is chronically sick from a cancer of the soul; its body politic malformed and bulging with tumors called arrogance, exceptionalism, genocide, aggression, and greed.
 
If there was a Nobel Prize for Hypocrisy, the US would win it every single fucking year of its miserable existence!

The Truth About 'Fake News.'

For some months, the US regime and their media allies have been complaining about the spread of so-called ‘fake news’ on the internet.

The accusation is that Russian media outlets such as RT (Russia Today) and Sputnik, among others, are deliberately publishing news stories that aren’t true, and that incite hatred, violence and disorder.

This costs the US support and waters down pro-US propaganda, which negatively affects the implementation of US policies.

The US congress and the failed sad-sack EU have recently passed resolutions to ‘counter Russian propaganda.’ This includes banning Russian media organizations, censoring their content, and making it as difficult as possible for their journalists to function.

But when we look at all the evidence, it is clear that the US is the world’s greatest, number one, undisputed purveyor of ‘fake news.’

Let’s go over some of this evidence.

Radio Free Europe has been spreading CIA propaganda for decades in Europe; scaring the western populations with stories of secret Soviet invasion plans, imminent attacks, and all sorts of horrible scenarios. 

But it turned out that it was the US and their allies who were entertaining thoughts of nuking E. Europe. None other than Winston Churchill came up with a plan to unite the British, US, German and other European countries for a mass invasion of the Soviet Union, and possible use of nuclear weapons. The plan was code-named Operation Unthinkable, but never took off because it was seen as too risky.

For decades, European journalists and newspapers were fed CIA and US government-written propaganda articles which were then published under local journalists’ names. A German journalists, Udo Ulfkotte, exposed this not too long ago. He was one of those journalists who took part in misleading the public.

In 1990, after Iraq invaded Kuwait, the US regime was mulling whether to get militarily involved or not. Congress had doubts about whether the US should commit troops and equipment to fight Iraq. But out of nowhere, came out a Kuwaiti girl with a sob-story that really tore at the congressmens’ heartstrings. She testified in front of the US Congress how she worked in a Kuwaiti hospital, and after the Iraqis invaded they came into the hospital and threw out new-born babies out of incubators on the floor, and took the incubators back to Iraq.

This testimony swayed the few remaining hold-outs, and they voted to authorize the invasion of Iraq.

But this sob-story was fake. The girl herself never worked in a hospital, and she was in fact the daughter of a Kuwaiti government official. The whole scenario was made-up, yet it was published and given airtime.

How about the Iraqi WMD accusations during the lead-up to the invasion of Iraq in 2003? The world was told by the US government and their media bull-horns terrifying tales of Saddam Hussein’s secret chemical, biological and nuclear laboratories; how they were secretly churning out WMDs that would be launched at any time.

The war criminal PM of the UK, Tony Blair, at the time went even further and stated that Saddam Hussein has unmanned drones that can attack the UK with WMDs in 45 minutes. 

2003 vintage 'Fake News' brought to you by Tony B-LIAR

The US media blindly pushed all of these lies. No dissent was allowed. Those who dared to question these allegations were called unpatriotic and seen as suspect.

But all these journalists, and the people who fed this nonsense to them, knew that these accusations and scary Iraq WMD stories were fake. There was no credible evidence to verify any of it. Yet they willingly peddled them.

These fake stories written by creatures like Judith Miller, were responsible for an illegal war of aggression which cost millions of Iraqis to be either killed or displaced, and ruined their country for who knows how much longer.

But these same journalists who wrote these lies still have their jobs. They weren’t fired, or disciplined in any way. They’re still at it, this time churning out scary garbage against Syria, Iran and Russia; again without evidence.

Remember the fake stories about the Russian invasion of Ukraine, complete with pictures of Russian servicemen which were later exposed as fakes?

Remember the pictures of the same wounded Syrian kids who showed up at different times and places?

Remember the accusations against Syrian government for using chemical weapons, without evidence? Or when rebel use of chemical weapons and gas canisters was automatically blamed on the Syrian army, even when it was the Syrian army that was the victim?

More recently, the US media has been pushing ridiculous stories about supposed Russian interference in the 2016 US elections.

Russia was accused of hacking the DNC servers, trying to rig voting machines in favor of Trump, and for publishing news stories sympathetic to Trump and unfriendly to Billary. All this is backed up by no credible evidence, like always.

The US better be careful about accusing other countries of ‘rigging’ elections, because the US has been one of the worst offenders in this respect. 

The US has regularly interfered in other countries’ elections for decades. It does so by indirectly financing and aiding pro-US candidates, by serving as campaign advisors, by creating ‘civil society’ groups which are trained and ordered by US NGOs to agitate and protest against any candidate that the US doesn’t like. Such US efforts to undermine other countries have in the last decade or so led to violent ‘color revolutions,’ like in the Ukraine. The instances of such occurrences are many throughout the world.  

The US also needs to be careful about accusing Russia of publishing fake news, because as was stated earlier, the US is the pre-eminent disseminator of fake news worldwide. Do they want Putin banning US media operating in Russia for the same reasons?

These US organizations also plant ‘fake news’ stories in newspapers to discredit any politician that the US regime doesn’t like for whatever reason.

So the US better be careful that Putin, or leaders of some other countries don’t start investigating US interference in their elections, because the US will end up with a lot of egg on its face.

At the Nuremberg war crimes trials after WW2, those German officials who were found responsible for publishing fake news and incitement to violence which led to death and destruction of other countries and peoples’ were punished.

But somehow US peddlers of lies that lead to violence and death are exonerated. This just shows what a low standard US journalism has fallen to in recent years.

But somehow Billary’s illegal and criminal acts, from Benghazi to the DNC’s deliberate, illegal and unethical undermining of the Bernie Sanders campaign in favor of Bilalry get no airtime, and are condemned by the media as ‘conspiracy theories,’ even when the evidence is overwhelming.

When the MSM is not spreading ‘fake news,’ it is involved in shooting the messenger. Any individual or organization that actually uncovers unpleasant facts about the US MSM’s elitist darlings is smeared by the MSM. Look at the treatment given to Edward Snowden and Julian Assange of Wikileaks.

Facts are indeed dangerous things for the MSM journalists to touch. Their careers would evaporate should they dare to tell people the truth, and they know it.

But since they are lame, pathetic cowards with no integrity, they won’t ever do so.

These MSM hacks use the media platform to incite hatred and violence toward others on behalf of the US regime. Then they dare accuse Russia of doing the same, and call for Russian media outlets to be controlled or shut-down. So much for the freedom of speech in the US!

The reality is, that all these stories about Russia trying to publish ‘fake news’ to undermine the US, and all the efforts to ‘counter Russian propaganda,’ is just a desperate attempt at psyops, and a veiled attempt to censor any media critical of US propaganda.

News channels like RT, Sputnik and others are simply exposing the ugly side of US policies, and dare to give voice to the critics and victims of these policies. There is nothing ‘fake’ about this.

The US regime is simply furious that their lies are being successfully countered by factual accounts by news channels like RT.

Billary’s election loss, Trump’s efforts at rapproachment with Russia, and his plans to end regime change operations has the neo-cons and their pals in convulsions. This ‘fake news’ controversy is just cheap PR, a desperate grasping at straws by the scummy, entrenched interests in the US establishment who hate anything and anyone who deviates from what they want.

This Russian ‘airing out’ of the US government’s dirty laundry is undermining US propaganda efforts, and that sets US policy back quite a lot.

I regularly go on RT, Sputnik and other sites, and I can attest that they are professional news sites. And when it comes to the accusation that the Russian media deliberately published stories that were pro-Trump and anti-Billary to affect the election results, well, that is just not true. Both news sites during the election were neutral. They published articles that were critical of both candidates. I just didn’t see either one take a certain side.

I’ve read articles on there that were quite hostile to Trump, and even predicted that he’s done for. 

It seems like the evidence for the supposed pro-Trump bias in the Russia media works like this: these US hacks and liars are cherry-picking a positive story about Trump published one day, but ignore a negative story about Trump a few days later.

So the only people who think these sites were biased in favor of Trump are those who obviously never visited them.

All the attempts of the US government and media to accuse other countries of publishing ‘fake news’ will go nowhere.

The US regime can longer say and do what it wants. The world is watching, and drawing appropriate conclusions.

 
SYRIA UPDATE

The US, EU and UN wailed and cried about the 'poor, trapped civilians in E. Aleppo,' and how they desperately wanted to help them. Now that those civilians are free from the rebels’ control, the three stooges don't care about the civilians anymore. They're no longer talking about helping them in any way. All that the US and their disgusting allies care about is saving the rebel creatures-and this was their only concern all along. All else was just a lie, and we can see it now.

Five years of the greasiest western propaganda and fake news about Syria have been obliterated in the last two weeks in Aleppo. That's why US and their pals are getting desperate and trying to come up with any way, no matter how pathetic and ridiculous, to smear Russia. But it's not going to work. These Syrian civilians’ stories are exposing the rebels and their western backers as criminals. The neo-cons and their media hacks must be having a nervous breakdown.

Fortunately, Aleppo has been liberated after four years of being under the control of violent, western-sponsored militants.

Post-Election Disorder

Trump rigged the election!

Putin helped him!

Russia hacked DNC servers and voting machines!

Hillary got more votes!

Recount now!

Fix the corrupt election system!

Yeah, yeah, blah…blah…blah…

You know what? Considering the fact that the electoral system in the US is institutionally rigged and unfair from the get-go, it makes no sense accusing foreign powers of ‘rigging’ the vote in favor of one particular candidate. The rigging has already been accomplished by antiquated laws dating back to the 19th century, by the intricate maze of political operatives from both parties, and the unspoken status-quo agreement between the powers-that-be.

Frankly, it’s hard to really know what happened. Did Billary really win? Did she or Trump, or maybe even both, try to rig the elections in their own favor in certain places? We’ll probably never find this out, and it’s not even worth trying.

Plus, what is the deal behind these recounts? Is it an honest attempt to expose the broken US electoral system, or the work of desperate Democratic Party officials and their corporate, pro-war, neo-con allies to give the election to Billary at the last moment through the back-door? Is it just a desperate ruse by the elite to scare Trump into doing what they want, instead of following his own agenda?

Personally, I think that all this election rigmarole is nothing but a big setup; a spectacular con. Trump was chosen to be president beforehand, and the democrats all knew it. There was a secret agreement that he’d win, and this entire anti-Trump nuttery was just for show, to divide and fire up people to support a candidate that looked different, but is on the same page as Billary.

Do people really think that the powers-that-be would actually allow Trump to win if he truly threatened their interests? It would be naïve and foolish to do so.

I shall think this until I see, hear, and experience otherwise. Trump’s action after January 21, 2017 shall prove me right or wrong.

It all goes back to the essay from a few years ago that I wrote about the closed circle of interests that each nation lives within, and how the borders of that circle cannot be breached because that would mean a revolution; a collapse of the current system, and along with it the wealth and power of the elites who control that system and profit from it.

What Trump may do is make some changes that will take him to the edges of that circle, but he will never go beyond its borders because that would spell doom for him and his family’s interests, among many others. So we shouldn’t expect much change out of Trump.

The USA is a crumbling country. It is losing ground on all fronts-political, economic, diplomatic, strategic, and military. Yes, it puts up a good front with a lot of PR, slick marketing, and twisting of its vassals arms, but it is a country that is rotting from the inside out. This situation is the USA’s own doing; not Russia’s, Putin’s, North Korea’s or Iran’s.

So it makes no sense to despair, because whether Trump comes in and actually stops the war-mongering and violence, cooperates with other nations, and restores US prestige, or if he is an even worse bully and freak than Obama and makes everything worse, either way the US is going to lose its power and influence; only the way it does so remains to be seen.

But regardless of the way that the US regime chooses to fade into the sunset, its downfall, or downgrade, can only be a good thing for the world.

2016 Post-Election Reflections

There has been much anguish and hysterical crying and hand-wringing from Hillary Clinton supporters since Donald Trump’s surprise upset victory last week.

Anti-Trump protests have also flared up in certain parts of the US.

Since last Tuesday’s presidential elections, journalists and all sorts of experts have also been making predictions, some dire, some optimistic, about what a Trump presidency may look like, and what would change.

It was interesting to read these analyses a few days after the election, but by week two I personally am tired of them. They don’t really tell us anything.

All sorts of rosy predictions were also made right after Obama won, and how did he work out? What happened to his promises?

That’s why it isn’t worth it to engage in any crystal ball-gazing right now.

Yes, I’m very glad that the psychopathic, lying, corrupt and fake Hillary Clinton lost. She’s remained deeply unpopular throughout the whole presidential race. Why anyone would want to support a shady candidate with such a troubled history in public service is beyond me.

But it’s way too early to be jubilant about Trump. And if there is just one thing that we should’ve all learned from the presidential election of 2016 is that predictions are bullshit.

People just need to keep quiet, and observe. Don’t be sure of anything, yet.

I didn’t vote in the election. I’ve observed eight presidential campaigns until now-from George H.W. Bush in 1988 to Donald J. Trump in 2016. And if there’s one constant that I’ve also noticed is that each president is worse than the last.

For all the noise and excitement, I just cannot bring myself to vote for Democrats and Republicans because these two parties have done profound damage to the country and the world with their bad decisions and judgment.

I personally don’t have much faith and trust in Trump. No one knows what he’s really going to do after he’s sworn in.

He talked a good talk, but there are a few worrying signs that he may not deliver.

There are rumors/stories that Trump is considering John Bolton as his Secretary of State. This is the most powerful diplomatic position in the US government.

For those of you who don’t know, John Bolton is a neo-con nutcase and ideologue. He’s one of the chief architects of the illegal and criminal Iraq war. He’s unrepentantly antagonistic toward Iran, Russia, China, and every country that doesn’t want to do what the US wants. A freak like this in control of the US State Dept. portents a very bad omen for US foreign policy.

We shouldn’t be at all surprised if more wars and conflicts pop up, should this Bush-era criminal degenerate be selected for any post.

James Woolsey is another unsavory figure. He’s also a hold-over from the Bush-era. This man is dirty and has many skeletons in his closet. Torture, regime change, destabilization, he’s done it all.

This is precisely why I didn’t vote. I fear that my vote will put evil people in positions of power, and that these people will make a bloody mess worldwide. I certainly don’t want any of their horrible decisions on my conscience.

So for now, I shall not make any predictions about what a Trump presidency will look like. It is too early to speculate about it, and therefore a waste of time. After all, actions speak louder than words.

When Trump starts announcing his cabinet appointments, then we shall see what he’s planning, and will have more credible information to go on.

For now, Trump is a big question mark.

But if he starts picking unstable neo-con demagogues, Bush-era hold-overs, and big bank vermin to top cabinet posts, then instead of ‘draining the swamp,’ he’ll be making the swamp much more fetid, and much more bloody.

The Trump Card

The US election of 2016 is over. The multi-billionaire real estate mogul, Donald J. Trump, has won against all predictions and media polls.

The results came as a shock to the Hillary Clinton camp. After all, she spent forty years preparing for this moment, only to see it shatter before her eyes.

The sum of the shady dealings of the Clinton crime family have finally caught up with Bill and Hill.

The DNC and Podesta emails have exposed the Clintons as crooked manipulators with a trail of illegal deals for which they should’ve gotten locked up years ago.

How is it that the dim-witted supporters of Hillary Clinton just ignored all this, or thought it didn't matter? What does this say about the intelligence and integrity of her supporters?

These are many of the same people who 10 or so years ago condemned the vile George W. Bush for every questionable deed of his, past and present. 

The Benghazi scandal, Clinton Foundation pay-to-play schemes, sponsoring dictatorships, the support of violent extremist groups in Libya and Syria, the DNC and Podesta Wikileaks emails; how is it that throughout all this, nothing illegal was found and Hillary was let off the hook by the FBI, twice?

There are poor bastards who get locked up for years for stealing candy bars, but the Clintons get to walk after committing such serious crimes.

The Clintons have co-opted and subjugated the DNC and the mainstream media establishment toward their cause of getting Hillary elected.

They spread all kinds of dirt and false accusations against Donald Trump, about him being a racist, xenophobe, anti-woman, being unqualified and unstable, about being Putin’s puppet.

The Clinton crime family also co-opted the media onto their side, and each day they released stories about how unpopular Trump was, and about how wonderful Hillary is.

The very real evidence of corruption and sleazy behavior within the Hillary campaign was hushed up by the MSM.

But in the end, Hillary just didn’t stand a chance. Trump’s solid victory exposed the media as a bunch of lying, ignorant assholes. All their predictions and propaganda turned out to be wrong.

Their ridiculous stories of Russian hacking and control of Trump was equally ridiculous, from day one.

Now, the Hillary supporters are whining, crying, and protesting the election results.

But they should not blame Trump or any imaginary Russian boogeymen for losing the election.

The blame lies squarely on the shady and corrupt operatives within the DNC. They bet on a lame, sick horse named Hillary instead of a genuine candidate like Bernie Sanders.

Hillary Clinton is unpopular and controversial. She is also seen as dishonest and fake. But the DNC, which was turned into a pro-Clinton organization during the primaries, artificially boosted Hillary Clinton and turned her into the Democratic candidate against the genuinely popular Bernie Sanders.

This was their mistake which cost the Democrats the election.

If the DNC was staffed with prudent and wise people, who simply sat back during the primaries, let things take their natural course, and picked the candidate which had the most support, and about which the electorate was truly excited about, then Bernie Sanders would’ve been the Democratic candidate in the 2016 election, and he would’ve trounced Trump easily. But the DNC operatives foolishly forced Hillary Clinton down the country’s throat.

So the Democrats have no one to blame than themselves. If they chose Bernie Sanders, they’d be the ones celebrating right now.

The Republicans nominated a candidate who was genuine; the democrats nominated a candidate who was a fake. This cost them the election.

Personally, I don’t have much faith and trust in Trump. It remains to be seen what he will do. I didn’t vote in this election because I do not trust the republican and democratic parties. They both have caused too much damage to the country, and I do not want to be party to any of their crimes.

The Clinton family has been removed from American political life for good, just like the Bush family has. Luckily, Hillary didn’t get to realize her further Syrian regime change crimes and other atrocious behavior. Hopefully, Trump will not follow in her footsteps.

But when it comes to Hillary, we came, we saw, she lost. 

I remember the election of 1992, when Bill Clinton won. It was such an optimistic time. But little did I know what a traitor and scumbag Bill Clinton would turn out to be.

Perhaps we should never fully trust the presidents we elect, no matter their intentions.

By the way, whatever happened to the Clinton campaign's accusations of Russian vote-rigging? It's been two days now, and no one has brought any of this up.

Could it be that those accusations about Russia and Putin influencing the US presidential elections and hacking the voting machines to help Trump were just a bunch of election-year propaganda bullshit? Naahh, couldn't be...right? 

Vote At Your Own Peril!

After all the Bushes and Obamas, why people still trust these stale, moldy political personalities like Hillary Clinton is just beyond me.

What do these politically-challenged supporters think? That when she steps into the White House it will be the good ‘ole 1990s all over again? That suddenly the economy will make a ‘miraculous Bill Clinton-style recovery,’ and suddenly the dreaded national debt will magically turn into a budget surplus?

BTW-that so-called Clinton-era budget ‘surplus’ was no such thing. It was, like all recent ‘prosperity’ within the US economy, smoke and mirrors with a lot of fraud on top created by the scheisters at the Federal Reserve and staunch US capitalist true-believer advisors at the presidential cabinet level; pro-Wall St. deregulation filthy creatures like Larry Summers and Robert Rubin. The so-called ‘prosperity’ was driven by the dot-com bubble, which blew up right after Bubba left office. It started in late 2000 and went on for a few years until a new bubble, this time in housing sales was created.

Hillary will bring ZERO benefits for the average person. She will only serve the rich and powerful. It doesn't matter what she says or promises during her campaign. It's just campaign sloganeering to get the votes of the ignorant rubes.

Look at Obama. He promised so much, but what is the reality eight years later?

The rich got richer and the poor got poorer. The debt has grown two-fold to $20 trillion. Obama was supposed to operate the most open and transparent administration in US history, yet has classified more information and locked up more dissidents and whistleblowers than even his rotten predecessor. 

Obamacare has been a disaster. It's been a give-away of taxpayer dollars to the health insurance cartel, and it has raised prices to levels that make it less affordable.

He kept US troops in Afghanistan, sent more to Iraq, bombed Libya, destabilized Syria, Ukraine, and provoked Russia with unnecessary and futile NATO military posturing.

Why do people allow themselves to be led off the cliff by such charlatans? Don’t they ever learn? Do they have any sense? How many times will the average person allow themselves to get shit on by these Bushes, Clintons, and Obamas of the world until they finally slap their asses away from over their heads?

This election will show to the world once and for all whether the US electorate has the courage to do anything different, or whether it is a cowardly bunch of easily-manipulated, lazy slobs.

If there is one consistent thing about all these candidates, is that they quickly change their tune once elected. They back-track on pretty much everything they promised. Let’s remember that power corrupts. I have no hope for either one.

The choices in this election are both abysmal. But Hillary’s scandalous, rotten public record, together with the recent Podesta emails, should make one shudder. Granted, Donald Trump may turn out to be bad as well, if elected. I personally doubt that he will deliver on what he says.

But at this point in time, Hillary should be feared more than Trump.

But what to do? Some say that if you don’t vote, then you have nothing to complain about. Others say that if you vote, you have nothing to complain about because you put those people in office, people who are now screwing things up.

What people need to do is not vote at all. It is the best way to protest the corruption and deceit within the US political system. If most people boycott the election, and, say, only 12% of eligible voters turn out, then that will send a clear message to the rest of the country, and the world, that the US political system has lost legitimacy. From that point on, people will wake up and take notice (unless the electronic voting machines ‘adjust’ the votes accordingly).

I have no faith in Trump. It will take much, much more than just one guy to change things around.

Hillary Clinton is a war criminal and psychopath; a lying, deceitful, nasty person. Electing her will be one of the worst mistakes that people will make in their lives, just like the pathetic scum that elected and re-elected the criminal low-life, George W. Bush.

Inhuman Interventionists

It seems that the US regime is so up against the wall regarding their regime change aspirations in Syria that they are stooping down to ever lower levels of nonsense and cheap scare tactics, thoroughly soaked through with rank hypocrisy.

Earlier this year, Saudi Arabia took over the presidency of the UN Human Rights Council. Recently, it has sponsored motions to charge Russia and Syria with ‘war crimes,’ and to launch an ‘independent’ investigation of ‘atrocities’ committed in Aleppo. It has even threatened Russia with suspension from the UN HRC over its actions in Syria.

Let’s take a look at the glaring double-standard and blatant dishonesty of this whole affair, point-by-point:

1. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a medieval religious autocracy without any semblance of, or even artificial pretense of democratic rule

2. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been a state-sponsor of terrorism for a long time, and according to the US regime itself, financed the 9/11 highjackers. Recently, the US regime even passed a bill allowing the family members of 9/11 victims to sue the KSA for its connection to 9/11

3. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been mercilessly bombing Yemen for a few years now. It has killed many civilians, created a humanitarian crisis, and destroyed infrastructure

4. Human rights organizations have ranked the KSA as one of the least free and repressive countries on earth

5. The US holds the undisputed record for invading countries, and killing civilians in the Mideast and beyond with with mass bombing. From Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Libya, and now Syria, the rotten US handiwork is self-evident

6. The US has bombed wedding parties, hospitals, civilian areas and journalists left and right over the years; always with a convenient excuse; followed up by an internal investigation where it always seems that its actions are deemed ‘legal,’ and so no one is punished in any meaningful way, and no changes in policy ever occur

7. By supporting known terrorist groups like Al Qaeda, Al Nusra and their allies in Syria, the US is a state-sponsor of terrorism. It aids and abets terrorists. This act alone puts the US on the spot as a serious human rights abuser and war criminal

8. The US and their vassals are operating in Syria illegally, without permission from the Syrian government, while Russia is

9. The US and its European vassals have since 2011 enacted extreme sanctions on Syria, which like in Iraq in the past and Iran more recently, resulted in much needed medicine and other life-saving supplies, equipment, and the means to buy them, being restricted or cut-off entirely. This has resulted in the unnecessary death and suffering of Syrian civilians, including many kids-who the US professes to care so much about

So how can the UN allow such a country as Saudi Arabia to even serve on the UN Human Rights council? This is akin to giving a group of serial killers a seat on the jury.

How can anyone not hold the US and its allies responsible for doing the same things they’re accusing other countries of doing?

It is clear that these accusations against Russia and Syria are politically-motived. They are a cynical, cruel joke, and an insult to the actual civilian victims of war, regardless of who killed them.

These accusations are meant to force Russia and Syria into abiding by US diktat in Syria. The US regime and their cohorts like the Saudis know that military confrontation with Russia is a no-no, so threatening sanctions, and leveling false and hypocritical accusations-without any evidence or proper context-is their only means of pressure. But this has not worked, and it won’t work.

It is also clear that Saudi Arabia isn’t coming up with this self-serving bullshit all by itself. Their US handlers are surely pulling their strings in this sorry saga.

Lately, the US has been utilizing their lap-dogs and vassals more to do things that the US doesn’t want to do because it is afraid of negative consequences. So when it wants to bomb, it tells Belgium to send an F-16 up in the air. When it wants to sanction, it tells the stupid and weak EU to do so. When it wants to get rid of a leader or a government somewhere, it gets its vassals to do so; who in turn use proxies, if they see that the mission is too risky.

Behind the actions of Saudi Arabia and the other two-bit rebel players in Syria and in Europe, we always have the US giving bad orders and advice.

The US and its allies don’t give a damn about human rights and civilian lives in Syria. If they did, they would stop sponsoring known terrorist groups who shell civilian areas and use car bombs to blow up markets and schools.

The US regime and its allies are not only lying about the situation in Syria, but are also manipulating the public to accept any and all US and allied victims of airstrikes and killing as unfortunate and unintended ‘collateral damage,’ and all victims (who are mostly terror group militants, BTW) of airstrikes and killing by Russia and Syria as deliberate ‘war crimes’ and ‘human rights abuses.’

The fact that Russia and Syria are actually fighting known terror groups while the US and its allies support those same groups is kept out of the daylight as much as possible by the pathetic western media.

The US and its European and Gulf Arab vassals and pawns have absolutely no right accusing any other country’s leadership and government of war crimes and human rights abuses. They lost that right long ago.

So if the US and their feckless European and Gulf Arab vassals want to find a war criminal to punish, they need to look in the mirror.

Real Winner of the Cold War?

As we all know, the US and its NATO allies rejoiced and claimed victory when the Soviet Union collapsed.

But what the US didn't realize at the time, or even up to now, is that with a Russia that is no longer spreading communist ideology, countries that were once afraid of close relations with it no longer have that fear, and are approaching Russia, to the detriment of the west.

Also, Russia adopted the capitalist economic model. This has made the Russian economy more connected to that of the US and rest of Europe. So any attempt to economically isolate Russia, or 'punish' it with sanctions will inevitably hurt the US and the EU in the long-run. This means that the west has a lot less options to use to bring Russia to heel.

Russia has also been pivoting to Asia. It has established relationships with Asian countries that in the past tried to keep Russia at arm's length because of the fear that Russia will try to impose communism on them.

 So maybe it is Russia who 'won' the cold war?

Western Inhumanitarians

The US regime and their assorted media and NGO cohorts have been up in arms lately about the Russian and Syrian bombing of E. Aleppo, the last rebel-held part of the city.

The situation was brought about by the failure of the US to separate the so-called moderate rebel forces form the Al Nusra head-choppers and liver-eaters.

To make things worse, the US ‘accidentally’ bombed Syrian Arab Army positions near the city of Deir-Ez-Zor. But Syrian forces who survived the attack said that the day before the bombing, a US surveillance drone was flying overhead. After the attack, ISIS forces immediately started an offensive to overrun Syrian army positions.

Fortunately, the Syrian army was able to push them back.

This incident led to the breakdown of the ceasefire, which was to be observed for 7 days. Also, rebels started firing on Syrian army positions in Northern Syria after the army started to withdraw, in-keeping with the ceasefire agreement. This forced the Syrian army to return back to their positions, and announce the end of the ceasefire, which was exploited by militants to go on an offensive.

This was accompanied by Russian and Syrian air force bombardments of rebel positions in E. Aleppo and the surrounding areas.

The US regime and their agents immediately started screaming that Russia and Syrian are committing ‘war crimes,’ and all sorts of PR stunts, fake footage, and atrocity propaganda appeared all over the internet to showcase ‘Russian killing of innocent civilians in Aleppo.’

Front groups like the White Helmets, a creation of a British ex-weapons industry executive, and the Syrian Campaign, led by billionaire Syrian ex-patriate living in the US, started putting out pictures and videos of alleged Russian and Syrian bombings and ‘war crimes,’ showing dead people being pulled out of the rubble and other such tear-jerking scenes.

The White Helmets and the Syria Campaign, and SOHC (Syrian Observatory on Human Rights, which is a one-man operation which relies strictly on what the rebels tell him) are western government-funded psy-ops and disinformation groups. These outfits are pro-rebel, and funnel fake stories based on rebel eyewitness accounts, and nothing else, to western news outfits, who spread this biased news throughout the world as it were fact.

These groups also seem to only be around to help in rebel-held areas. They have no interest helping anyone killed or injured by rebel shelling in government-held areas.

The White Helmets and other western government-sponsored NGOs in Syria actually do more harm than good. They have even gone so far as to condemn the UN for daring to coordinate aid deliveries with the Syrian government, which is something the UN does in every country with their host governments.

This has resulted in the White Helmets rabble accusing the UN of ‘colluding’ with Assad government, and as a result, aid deliveries to rebel-held areas were turned around because they coordinated with the Syrian government. Many people are not getting help because of the White helmets and other such organizations hampering efforts to deliver aid to besieged areas. Groups such as the White Helmets are politicizing the delivery of aid throughout Syria.

Legitimate non-sectarian, non-political NGOs and other groups who truly want to help Syrians are upset and disgusted by the attitude toward aid deliveries by the White Helmets and other such politically-biased groups.

What is also not being said in the western media is that from 2011 Syria has been under very tight sanctions by the US and their vassals. This has exacerbated the humanitarian crisis because financial payments for aid cannot be made due to western blocking of access for Syrian banks.

These propaganda groups, and their western governmental and private backers claim to care about Syrian people, but the truth is that these groups don’t give a damn about Syrians. They peddle atrocity propaganda, accuse Russia and Syria of war crimes; all to further their desire for ‘humanitarian intervention,’ which basically means US and allied bombing of Syria-ala Libya in 2011.

Because as we know, civilians living in government-held areas of Syria don’t matter, and can be killed with impunity. This is the kind of ‘humanitarianism’ that the west promotes, stopping bombing with even more bombing.

But these groups and their backers aren’t concerned about Syrian people, democracy, free elections and humanitarian aid. This is just PR cover for their real aims: the overthrowing of the Syrian government, replacing it with pro-western puppets and corrupt profiteers who will bilk Syria and throw it into a never-ending IMF debt hole, just like Ukraine.

It’s about the domination of Syria in order to turn it into a pro-US/EU colony, and so the gas and oil pipelines that were planned years ago can be run through it from the Gulf to the Mediterranean, generating lots of money for the western oil companies and governments.

This is the real reason why the US has been training and arming Al Qaeda and other like terror groups in Syria to act as their proxies.

Sometime in 2007, the US tried to get Bashar Al Assad to turn away from Iran and Russia, and agree to a pipeline project from the gulf, through Syria, and to the Med. Sea. Assad said no, and from that moment on the US decided to overthrow him. This was the reason for the fake Syrian revolution. It was never about democracy or any such thing; that was just a convenient cover.

Assad said ‘No’ to the evil US empire, and had to be punished.

The western governments and the media know what is really going on in Syria. They know that the forces they are supporting are designated terror groups. They know that the anti-Russian demagoguery is fake. They know this, but they will keep on peddling these fake atrocity propaganda stories and using PR marketing of the lowest kind to label anyone who stands in their way as ‘evil.’

If the US and their immoral promoters truly cared about the Syrian people, then they would never have unleashed this violence upon them. They would let the Syrians peacefully decide and vote for what they want in a free election. But the US refuses to ask the Syrians about what they want.

The truth is that the US is openly supporting known terror groups in Syria. There never were any moderates to speak of, and that is why the US isn’t, and never will be able to ‘separate’ them.

As far as those so-called moderates, if there are any, and they refuse to separate from known terror groups like Al Qaeda and Al Nusra, then they’re not so moderate after all, which means that the US shouldn’t be supporting them at all, right?

The US is now expecting the world to buy the totally surreal argument that in order to fight terrorism in Syria, those who are bombing the terrorists must be bombed. That’s basically what the US has been threatening to do.

If this doesn’t give the US away as state-sponsors of terrorism that gives aid and comfort to known terrorist groups, then nothing will.

But that’s what the US has been doing in Syria since day one: training and arming terrorist groups and using them as proxies to overthrow the Syrian government. All those organizations that aid the US in this rotten enterprise, like the White Helmets, Syrian Campaign, SOHC are all giving aid and comfort to terror groups which have also carried out attacks in Europe and N. America. All the people involved in these groups are rotten liars who serve as propaganda army for terror groups. These groups don’t deserve any sympathy, help or any awards.

Those who lead these groups are greasy, corrupt opportunists who are after money and power. Regime change is their aim, because in it these vultures see only an opportunity to enrich themselves and their buddies off the dead carcass of the Syrian nation.

What must be known by everyone is that the western governments’ and media’s entire narrative on what is going on in Syria is false and wrong. Facts are being twisted or ignored. Rebel atrocities are unreported or glossed over. Devastation and death committed by rebel shelling, car bombs and chemical weapons attacks are immediately blamed on the Syrian government and army, without any proof or investigation whatsoever by any western government and media outfit.

Self-serving, sanctimonious, and hypocritical lamenting and hand-wringing over the devastation in E. Aleppo, and crowing about human rights by the western regimes are constant. Russia and Syria are being accused of war crimes, and of being ‘outlaws.’ The western regimes say this with straight faces, too.

Yet the western media totally ignores ongoing, western-supported atrocities and crimes against humanity in Yemen, Palestine, Libya, Afghanistan and elsewhere. There are no White Helmets helping civilians in those areas after Saudi Araba or Israel bombs and starves them, with US connivance.

There are no accusations of war crimes against the US, and calling it an ‘outlaw state’ after it devastated Iraq based on false accusations; no UN meetings or hand-wringing in the western media after the US bombs hospitals, apartment blocks, weddings and funeral, and villages anywhere.

The US is the supreme war criminal. It caused the misery and chaos in Syria, fuels it by supporting various terrorist groups, then blames the consequences on others who are trying to stop it all. Those individuals, organizations, and media outfits that support this on-going US crime against humanity in Syria are no less guilty.

But US plans in Syria shall fail, because no policy or plan can succeed when it is based on lies and bad intentions.

The Real White Helmets

The Tale of Two Boys

The True US System of Checks and Balances

Everyone who goes through what passes as the educational system in the US will sooner or later learn about the US system of checks and balances.

The US system of government is made up of three branches, the Executive (president), the Legislative (congress), and the Judicial (supreme court).

At least in theory, and on paper, the system of checks and balances is supposed to allow for each branch of the federal government to keep an eye on each other, so that none of the three branches abuse their powers.

This is supposed to keep anyone in government from violating the law, and act within the limits imposed upon them by the constitution.

That's how the US system of checks and balances is, or was supposed to work.

Unfortunately, the sad reality is that this system has failed. It has been high-jacked by powerful, wealthy, and corrupt elements of the US establishment, and has become nothing more than a closed, rubber-stamp system for the wiles of the ruling class and their allies.

Today, the system of checks and balances merely serves to ensure that all three branches of government comply with the dictates of the true makers and shapers of US policy: the Federal Reserve, the Pentagon, and the CIA.

It is these three organizations that truly control the system. The Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches are merely their servants; their 'public face.' The three branches only exist as a facade to fool the US populace into thinking that they're still in control.

The true system of checks and balances that exists in the US today is shown below.

The Federal Reserve, which is privately-owned by faceless international banksters, is the kingpin of this true system. It issues endless amounts of worthless debt (dollar notes) to buy real goods and services for free from the world.

It uses the other two branches, the Pentagon and CIA, as its foot soldiers and enforcers to extract resources from countries that refuse to buy its debt, and punish those that resist or stand in the way.

The only checking and balancing that takes place in this new system is to ensure that the military and intelligence branches are faithfully, effectively, and unquestioningly fulfilling the orders of the banksters on top who rule everything below them.

War is the quickest way to saddle a country with debt, which is then exchanged for real goods from compliant countries. In this way, the rest of the world actually, and maybe even unwittingly, serves as the enabler of the US system of global debt, oppression, and destruction.

Obama, Biden, Kerry, Clinton, Trump, Ashton Carter, are only the chief errand boys for the true rulers of the US corporation; because that's what the US has been since 1871-a corporation. Look it up, it's true.

That's why in order to stop the US, its criminal, exploitative, war-obsessed debt slave system must be starved of profits.

Ending the petrodollar system is one of the most powerful blows that can be struck against the US. This move alone will devastate the US economy, even more so than 1,000 ICBMs ever could.

If the world wants to see any semblance of stability and peace, it must turn away from the US financial system which is turning the world into perpetual debt slaves by means of violence and war. It must dump the dollar, and establish separate financial systems over which the US has no power.

Russia, China and others have started the process of  dumping their dollars and establishing alternate financial institutions, free of any US control. This idea must be expanded as quickly as possible.

The sooner this is done, the sooner the US will be put in its place.
