Which Way, Brexit?

The recent election in the UK has resulted in the election of Tory candidate Boris Johnson (BoJo) as Prime Minister.

After years of the UK establishment media smearing Jeremy Corbyn as a Jew hater, Nazi, communist, and everything bad under the sun, he, and the Labour party were handed a significant defeat.

However, the main reason for the defeat was Jeremy Corbyn’s and the Labour party’s stance on Brexit, which fluctuated from ambivalent to against, depending on who in the Labour party was doing the talking.

This inability of the Labour party to accept Brexit and get it done, as the majority of the UK public wanted-and as BoJo promised to do-sealed their fate. By its cold behavior toward Brexit, Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour party lost a lot of traditional working-class supporters who also voted for Brexit. What could’ve been a stunning victory for Labour turned into a tragic defeat.

All that Jeremy Corbyn had to do was to state that he will honor Brexit, get the UK out, and reach an agreement with the EU afterwards (as BoJo has now promised to do), and he would’ve won by a landslide.

This is all the more unfortunate since Jeremy Corbyn, and the Labour party’s programs were much better for the UK in the long-run than BoJo and the Tories fleecing and kicking around of the working class, selling out the country to rapacious big business, and sacrificing them to the malignant US tumor across the Atlantic.

The Labour supporters who voted for BoJo did so out of desperation. They just wanted Brexit. The smears against Corbyn had very little, if anything, to do with the damage that was done to Labour on election day. Both parties in the UK had a clear, popular mandate from the people. All they had to do is roll with it. The BoJo crowd and those who supported him did; Labour waffled and hesitated; the people noticed.

The Labour supporters who voted for BoJo probably did so with a heavy heart that election day. They will get their Brexit, with warts and all.

Because as good and right as Brexit is for the UK, its consequences could very well be quite bad. It all depends on what path BoJo takes.

Let’s remember that we have the US vultures circling Albion, ready to swoop down and pick whatever morsels of anything of value they can find. The NHS Is under threat, food and environmental regulations will be watered down and destroyed to ‘harmonize’ the country with the low standards that the US needs to be able to offload onto the UK all kinds of GMO, additive and chemical-laden garbage products onto the captive populace. Labour rights, union power, and legal rights of the working class will be mothballed wherever possible for the profits of multinational corporations.

Those Labour voters who cast their vote for BoJo may experience a Phyrric victory.

There is also another serious problem, or problems, that are rearing its heads.

Majority of the pro-Brexit votes came from England and Wales. The majority of remain votes came from Scotland and N. Ireland. The two latter entities now are at odds with London, and have started talking about their own ‘independence referendums.’

The recent UK elections that delivered a win for BoJo, also delivered an anti-Brexit majority in Scotland and N. Ireland. For the first time in history, the majority of N. Ireland’s lawmakers are pro-Irish republicans.

We could witness Scotland and N. Ireland secede from the UK, which would see the UK go through the most serious existential crisis since the end of its imperial days.

It is a bleak situation for the UK and its working people, who in reality have no good options. Either they stay under EU control, or leave the EU and go under the US boot, and with the added headache of possible secession of important parts of the country.

The UK could exercise an independent and courageous streak, mind its own best interests and those of the working people who helped elect BoJo, and keep the exploitative US and EU at arm’s length. Conclude fair and just trade deals, including with countries like Russia and China. Engage in a multi-vector foreign and economic policy, and take full advantage of the freedom of choice and action that Brexit will deliver.

But doubts remain about whether BoJo has the decency and the heart to do this. His past rhetoric and actions have already marked him as a stooge of the wealthy elite, the US, and the pro-zionist rabble.

So it remains to be seen in what direction he takes Brexit.

Trouble in NATOstan

The recent 70th NATO summit has just ended in London, and the prognosis is not good. Tensions between world leaders were clearly visible with political and personal spats between Donald Trump, Emmanuel Macron and Justin Trudeau a part of the show.

There is much trouble in NATO-land these days. From member-states not spending what the US wants them to, lack of military preparedness, out-dated equipment, political differences, and even who NATO’s ‘official enemy' is. The confused and decrepit alliance is having a hard time staying afloat.

But even in these troubled waters, official NATO PR and propaganda touts it as the ‘most successful military alliance in history,’ and it’s unity as ‘rock-solid.’ But it is quite something else when reality lures it’s ugly head.
 
NATO 'unity' is only on-paper and on-camera. In reality, there is no unity. There are serious problems within the organization caused by NATO member-states conflicting interests. This is something that will not go away, but will only get worse.

NATO is for all practical purposes finished as an effective alliance. It worked for some time, but the world has changed too much; individual member's economic and political interests have diverged since 1949, and the organization is becoming a stone around its members necks. Member-states are forced to associate with people they do not particularly like (ex: Greece and Turkey), have very little in common with, and are in competition against. 

Logically, NATO can be an ideal, successful alliance only if none of its member-states had any conflicting interests, and were not in competition with each other in any way whatsoever. 

But this is definitely not the case today, and never will be. All the differences and competing interests within political, economic, and diplomatic spheres has created overt and covert animosity and bad-blood between these member-states, and this animosity and differences color their other relations, including within NATO. Therefore, there are always going to be disagreements and lack of consensus. 

This lack of unanimity is NATO's Achilles heel. This is the reason for all the huffing and puffing and temper tantrums between the US and the other member states when it comes to NATO's relevance, mission and funding. They know that NATO has a profound weakness that cannot be addressed. Russia, China and others are certainly aware of this.

Also, NATO's 'adversaries' have simply gotten too powerful for NATO to fight and defeat. Certain smarter member-states see this, and have come to the conclusion that any further maligning of these 'adversaries' is unnecessary and futile. It also hurts those member-states economic self-interests with these supposed 'adversaries.'

Also, some countries just don't want to pay more for NATO, or cannot afford to do so.

To paper over the cracks and discontent within NATO, certain member-states are using Russia, Iran, North Korea, Syria as artificial boogey-men to scare people with.

They need an enemy to keep NATO relevant; and the more enemies the merrier!

But keeping everyone ‘united’ by force by creating fake, artificial enemies is a poor cohesive agent. Fake unity against fake enemies is not going to work.

The main point of contention for the US is its demand that other NATO members buy more of its weaponry. The US economy is for all practical purposes a war economy. The military consumes $989 billion per year, 2nd only to social security and medicare spending. US produces very little non-military goods, as most of US manufacturing has been outsourced overseas to maximize profits.

The sale of aircraft and military equipment makes up the brunt of US economic output. This is why Trump has been pushing sub-par US weaponry on other NATO member-states. This has caused friction within the alliance, with the French defense minister criticizing the US insistence on EU’s purchase of the F-35 plane.

What we are seeing is NATO fatigue setting in. Only regressive-minded deluded dreamers in marginal European states like Poland, Romania, Ukraine and the Baltic countries still think of NATO as something necessary and effective.

But the joke will be on them.

It's the Hegemony, Stupid!

The US empire always stresses its ultimate goodness.

In everything it does, no matter how wrong, illegal, horrid, upside-down, illogical and just bat-shit crazy, the officials of the US regime never miss a chance to present it as the most benevolent and selfless act of charity.

Along with its absurd discourse and reasoning, the US regime-as all good psychopaths-always seems to have a scapegoat ready and waiting, should any of its plans go awry.

When confronted about any of its failures and blunders, US regime officials never admit mistakes. They never admit that something they’ve done shouldn’t have been done.

The official answer to such questions is something akin to, that if the US is unable to get its way, it is the fault of some 'bad' person somewhere.

This seems to be the current strategy of the US regime toward Russia, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, or any nation that dares to say ‘no’ to the US empire.

The US regime scapegoats, and falsely accuses these nations' governments of doing something they did not do. Or it deliberately provokes them with false flags, lies, sanctions and other forms of pressure. Then it uses any negative effects of these lies, provocations and sanctions as ‘evidence’ of those countries governments ineptness, corruption, and as an explanation for any economic and social problems they experience.

We can see this on display in Iran, where the US regime’s sanctions have caused economic difficulties which have caused problems with obtaining medicine, food and other crucial items. When protests break out, the US regime states that it ‘stands with the Iranian people.’ US regime does this at the same time it make Iranians lives difficult.

The US empire is also doing this in Venezuela.

The US uses cuddly human rights rhetoric. It professes to care so much about the people it hurts. When someone points out the glaring contradictions, the US regime spokes-creatures immediately blame the president and government of the ‘enemy’ nation for it all.

The US empire’s role in causing these difficult conditions is ignored.

The US regime manipulates the public with the notion that the US is a benevolent country, and that the sanctions, pain, and death it administers on other nations is all because some leader there is ‘forcing’ the US to do so, and that the US does not want to do it; but it has no choice.

But this was, and is a false premise.

The only thing 'forcing' the US empire's hand seem to be leaders of countries with independent policies and who insist on their sovereignty.

For the US, it is not about liberation. It is about domination.

It does not matter who rules Russia, China, Syria, Iran, or North Korea. If the current governments and systems in those counties were to disappear and give way to someone and something the US wants, it would not matter to the US regime. The US empire would not treat these people any kinder. It would not leave them alone. The US empire would still be hell-bent on dominating them, full force.

Yes, the sanctions would probably be lifted and bank accounts unblocked, but the country and its resources would be taken over by US corporations and bilked for next to nothing. The country would be saddled with enormous debt. The people themselves would not benefit much from it. And that would be all on top of losing their freedom and sovereignty. Not worth it.

If, say, North Korea was absorbed into South Korea and both countries were finally unified, it would not change a thing for the US empire. It would not leave the Korean peninsula. It would just put more of its forces into the Northern part to harass China.

For the US, it is not about right or wrong. It is all about world hegemony.

US regime officials like Pompeo like to run around and accuse China and Russia of trying to ‘spread their influence,’ but what he is actually worried about is that those two countries are undercutting US influence. He has no problem with bribing, threatening, and arm-twisting foreign leaders to do US bidding. Whenever this succeeds, life for those nations gets more complicated in the long-run, to put it mildly.

Everything the US regimes say and do is about domination and control of others, with no exceptions. Once people accept this simple fact, then things will start to make a lot more sense.

The US isn’t interested in democracy, sovereignty, free elections, human rights, free markets, or this or that minority, ethnicity or religious sect. These are just play-things for the US empire to exploit to sow division and chaos, but the ultimate aim is the domination of others and suppression of anyone who does not agree with US dictat.

The recent illegal parliamentary coup in Bolivia by US intelligence and their bought-and-paid-for stooges in the government, police and military there is a case in point.

Real democracy and sovereignty of Bolivia has been destroyed, and the country will now be worse off as a result.

For the US, it is never about democracy and freedom (except for itself only). It is about global hegemony. All else is bullshit.

Cracked Up

Shrieks emanating from frightened US vassals have been heard all over Europe recently after French President Emmanuel Macron dared to utter sacrilegious words against the Holy Mother Church of NATO.

Macron dared to commit the ultimate blasphemy by calling NATO ‘Brain-dead,’ and daring to suggest that Europe must change its relationship with Russia and end the tensions.

While Macron is certainly no real reformer of any kind, and mired in the slop of US domination himself, he is nevertheless correct in his assertions about NATO and Russia.

NATO has been ‘brain-dead’ since the fall of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s. Its reckless actions since then certainly prove this prognosis.

The end of communism in Russia and E. Europe should’ve heralded a new age of cooperation and an end to old cold-war mentalities and tensions.

This is what Russia expected and hoped for. It sacrificed a lot, and gave the US and Western Europe the benefit of the doubt.

But unfortunately, Russia’s deeds were not reciprocated. The US arrogantly announced a ‘victory,’ and quickly started to incorporate ex-communist countries into NATO, which was kept alive even after the Warsaw Pact was disbanded.

Since then, NATO has absorbed more members, moved further East, and now it stretches all the way up to the Russian border.

It has also attacked and bombed countries under false pretenses and caused chaos, death, and serious refugee crises which plague Europe to this day.

It ravaged the Balkans, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, and is working on Ukraine.

But all this has created problems, and today NATO is experiencing a host of issues, from lack of funding by member-states, out-dated equipment, lack of coordination, and differing levels of military preparedness, or lack thereof.

The older members are also experiencing NATO fatigue, and resent having to be forced into doing what the US wants, and made to buy shoddy US equipment like the F-35.

Add to this the uncertainty that NATO can really accomplish its mission. So far, NATO has only faced rusted-out 3rd world militaries. It has not yet gone against a strong opponent.

If it does, what will happen?

Will NATO be able to fight and win? Will it suffer damage and disintegration, or will it have to call a ceasefire and an armistice and gain nothing in the end? Will its member-states do their job, or will the confusion and lack of sound coordination, training and modern equipment cause too much confusion and result in great losses and capitulation?

Any sane person can see that NATO’s success is not guaranteed, and any war with a strong opponent will end in failures for the alliance. This much is certain. The only question is the extent of those failures.

The reality is not so rosy for NATO, and its commitments look good only on paper. This is all compounded by the recent failure of US forces and defense systems to intercept missiles launched by the Houthis from Yemen against Saudi oil refineries.

The picture looks bleak when it comes to the true US ability to defend its vassals.

The US simply has no money to maintain NATO, and that’s why it is putting the squeeze on other member-states.

But does it pay to stick to the 2% of GDP spending target not knowing if this investment will actually help? Those countries who do meet this spending limit and assume that it will guarantee them victory are fools, and are wasting their resources that could be used for better, non-military purposes.

Emmanuel Macron has said something that needed to be said for a while, and has caused cracks in NATO’s feel-good propaganda.

Deluded fools like Polish president Duda and Polish Prime Minister Morawiecki immediately came out to defend the hapless NATO alliance and to quickly paper over those cracks with the oratory equivalent of chewing gum, sticking to the official propaganda script of it being ‘The most successful alliance in history,’ and needed to ‘defend Europe from the Russian bear, whose hot breath is felt on Poland’s neck.’

But the hot breath Poland is feeling does not come from the East; it comes from the west, from Washington DC, Northrop Grumman, Boeing, US oil and gas interests, and the organized Jewish zio-goons whose boots on Poland’s back are keeping it down and enslaved.

It is absurd for any country to see NATO as the cornerstone of its security, and shun civilized and far less costly ways of diplomacy with Russia.
 
It is also absurd to think that NATO's problems are purely financial, and that if all members spend what they are required to spend on their militaries that all will be well and good. This is what the Polish wing of NATO wrongly thinks.

The constant scaremongering by such pathetic NATO true-believers leads one to think that these people actually want war more than anyone in Russia does. They seem to think that a war against Russia is winnable, and that the NATO legions will enter Moscow one day triumphant, and subdue the entire country to the wishes and whims of NATO’s US overlords.

But this is but a pipe-dream, and an old Polish fantasy of trying to control the East, a fantasy which Poland had for 350 years; but it has long-lost this battle to Russia.

NATO has grown to be a religion. It’s church is in Brussels, Belgium. It has its Pope, Mr. Stoltenberg, its bishops and priests (generals and member-state defense ministers), its missionaries which are the soldiers, and its congregation which are the citizens of the member-states. Lackluster US-made weaponry are its holy relics. It’s charter is its gospel, and it promotes itself as the salvation of the world, as a crusading army, ready to defend the most important US strategic, economic and military interests no matter how much death and destruction it leaves in its wake.

NATO exists not to protect the EU from Russia, but to keep Russia as an artificial enemy that can be used to further the profits, careers and paychecks of the US military industrial complex, and the legions of NATO and western-paid security ‘experts’ who can always be counted on saying and writing the right things to keep NATO alive long past its shelf date, and money flowing into weapons makers coffers. NATO is, above all, a racket; a multi-billion-dollar money sucking racket.

But it is not all doom and gloom. Because the fact is, that if NATO ever tries to fight Russia it will lose and be destroyed. The NATO high priests know this damn well. That is why NATO will not go to war against Russia. It will only preen and posture. 

Russia is only an excuse, not the real reason for NATO's crooked existence. 

Brain-dead isn’t even a strong enough word to describe NATO. The proper word to describe it has not yet been invented.

A Tale of Two ASSets

CIA asset Al Baghdadi (left) and CIA asset Osama Bin Laden (right)

The news on the wire is that US special forces have eliminated Al Baghdadi, the leader of the ISIS movement in Syria.

After allowing this nutcase and his followers to roll into Syria in 2014 with his endless truck convoys under clear blue skies, without any harassment from the ‘mighty’ US military terrorist smiters, Trump has decided to fire this hapless asset.

This is indeed the fate of all US-created nutcases, should they not deliver.

Al Baghdadi was a US asset, just like Osama Bin Laden. And like old Osama, the US decided to 'retire' this flop as he is no longer needed. Just don't expect any evidence to back any of this up. You’ll have to 'trust' Don Trumpolino. This 'announcement' may not even be true, and a part of some propaganda campaign.

The Trump regime has not been doing too well in the international and military arena, has suffered a huge embarrassment in Syria, and compromised itself in front of its European NATO vassals.

So it’s always nice to have a handy boogeyman to ‘kill’ at such a challenging time and score some points, right before a re-election. Remember that Obummer also decided to end OBL a year before his re-election.

But the question is, what other boogeyman does the US have stuffed in its pocket? Because let’s remember that right after Bin Laden was done away with, Mr. Baghdadi popped up on the scene.

Can we expect a 3rd, even worse US-created nutcase to come on the scene in the next weeks and months?

The pattern is indeed troubling.

China vs. US

Trump's tariff and sanctions tantrums on China are starting to bring on stock market falls and worries of a possible recession.

Since all these tariffs are hurting everyone, it should dawn on Trump to stop them. China is not going to give in. It does not matter whether Trump gets re-elected or not. and if he continues to pursue this, he may very well be a one-termer.

Expecting Trump to fix the US economy is a tall order. It's like asking a random person off the street to solve the mystery of life.

Trump can tariff 100% of all Chinese imports 100% and won't be able to bring China to its knees. Yes, it is this hopeless for the US. The scales are tipped too much in China's favor. 

These tariffs would maybe work if China exported most of what it makes to the US, but imports to the US are not even 20% right now. So Trump is just taxing the living f**k out of the average US consumer. 

The US deficit has jumped another 500 billion since the beginning of the year due to Trump's tax cuts for the wealthy, and will reach another trillion more by next year. 

So the tariff war is not helping. If Trump wants to improve the economy, he would have to turn against the best interests of the wealthy and investor class-namely himself.

He would have to punish the real offenders responsible for the colossal trade deficit: the greedy and short-sighted US corporate CEOs who outsourced their manufacturing to other countries. Trump should slap these companies with steep taxes until they bring back manufacturing to the US. Make it more expensive for them to offshore than if they moved production back to the US, hired US workers, and paid them a decent salary with decent benefits.

Up to now, Trump is punishing China for the sins and greed of US CEOs. Trump is acting like an inept coward. He is incapable of making the right and rational decisions that would help the most.

This simply shows that all the new clean service tech economy mumbo jumbo the establishment has been feeding the world since the late 1990s turned out to be bullplop. Manufacturing will always be good and necessary, and is a sound fall-back for any nation's economy. The case of China vs. US is a shining example. A healthy economy must actually make something, not just come up with something, and speculate.


The only big-ticket factory production the US has is the weapons industry, and even they are losing market share to competition from Russia and China. The US, in essence, is a war economy.

Maybe the US is deliberately trying to cause economic problems for the world, and is betting on scared investors running for safety by buying up more US debt in the form of long-term treasury bills.

If there is a recession, or some other world-wide economic melt-down caused by US foibles, all countries need to resist the urge to buy this US debt, and instead go for precious metals. Then the US will suffer even more serious economic blow-back than anyone else, and will be cut down to size.

This is long overdue.

The Gathering Clouds of Failure

Over the past months, the US has suffered serious setbacks and humiliations.

The catalyst for all of this was Trump’s terribly misguided decision to withdraw from the JCPOA.

Trump overestimated US power, and underestimated Iran’s, and that was his biggest mistake.

Since then, tanker ships in the gulf have been bombed, and Iran was blamed. The US did not produce any sound evidence for this, and therefore its false accusations fell on deaf ears. The US regime’s call for some half-baked ‘Maritime protection force’ was a total flop. Only the UK sent a ship and some soldiers. Everyone else pretty much stayed away.

Strike one for Trump.

Then, there was the drone incident where a US stealth Global Hawk was shot down by Iran. US tried to lie to the world and accused Iran of shooting down the drone in international waters.

But the US regime was left with lots of egg on its face after Iranians showed proof of the drone wreckage that landed IN IRAN’S TERRITORIAL WATERS.

Strike two for Trump.

The latest US temper tantrum was after the Aramco drone bombings by the Houthi Ansarullah movement in Yemen.

The US, embarrassed that a militia movement from a war-torn, poor nation was able to launch such a successful attack which the US military and billion-dollar US weaponry failed to detect and stop.

The US immediately blamed Iran, without any proof, of course.

But does it really matter whether the Aramco bombing was done by Iran or Yemen? The main point here is that US military ‘might’ proved useless.

By blaming Iran for the attacks, the US is inadvertently acknowledging that Iran has the capability to outsmart US-provided air defenses, and sneak past the US military’s (not so) watchful eye. How does this inspire confidence in the US?

So just how blaming Iran instead of Yemen for these drone bombings makes things somehow okay, or better, or more acceptable from the US regime's point-of-view is difficult to understand. The warped Alice-in-Wonderland logic of the US regime is truly breathtaking.


Why couldn't they just stick to blaming Yemen? The Yemenis quite proudly claimed responsibility for the bombings, and have been using drones to bomb Saudi targets for years. So the precedent is there.

Strike three for Trump.

US weaponry has been exposed as ineffective and unable to withstand what Iran has in store. And no offense to Iran, it has very capable technicians and scientists, and Iran's seadfastness, courage and ingenuity after over 40 years of US economic terrorism from every side is admirable; however, I suspect that Iran has been, and is getting help from certain other nations in quiet, secret ways with its military tech and hardware. And this has been enough to rattle the US. There is more going on here than we know, and Iran’s capabilities will only grow because whoever is aiding Iran will continue to do so.

Recently, the Houthis destroyed three Saudi brigades and took numerous prisoners, including high-ranking Saudi military officers.

US lies, threats and sanctions have alienated more countries away from the US. China, Turkey, and India are showing the US the finger when it comes to purchasing Russian military hardware and Iranian oil. 

The dollar is being dumped, and alternate payment mechanisms are being setup that the US cannot control and which render US sanctions ineffective.

The world-at least the part of the world that counts-is taking a big dump on the US. And the US cannot do anything about it without destroying itself.

Add to this Zionist prime minister Netanyahoo’s fall from power, and Trump’s fake little world he had formed around himself has started to fall apart.

Now, the democrats are after him for trying to pressure the president of Ukraine to launch an investigation into Joe Biden’s and his son’s dealings with a Ukrainian gas company and some deals they made. Trump also threatened to ‘get’ the whistleblower who exposed his conversation. Now, impeachment is being thrown around as an option.

However, the democrats do not care one iota for any truth or justice. Their aim is to protect their party’s Alpha Male Joe Biden as their candidate going into the election of 2020; just like their fake Russiagate fantasy was all about protecting the Clinton crime family.

If something becomes of this entire Trump-Ukraine drama, and Trump ends up paying any sort of price, we can be sure that the democrats will resurrect the entire Russiagate saga and hitch it to this latest Trump scandal, thereby making both true. That Russiagate was disproved by the Mueller report does not matter. The right people will create the right reality.


But Trump has done so many reckless and stupid things up until now, that he deserves to be messed with by the useless, lying democrats. Let these two tear each other apart. Better this than sending poor people to fight some new illegal war.

All this paints a picture of a troubled country with massive, unpayable level of debt,corrupt politicans, a failing electoral system, and a sinister group of people who control the country behind the scenes to their advantage.

The US is ran not by the elected, but by wealthy private special interests and their faceless, unelected career bureaucratic servants in departments throughout the US government.

These obscure people make the decisions. They call the shots. They get to decide what happens to who, when, and how. Trump has very little power.

And if these people decide that Trump needs to go, he will go.

This is not some conspiracy theory.

All these governments come and go, yet their policies, as well as the problems, stay the same. Nothing changes, nothing gets fixed. Nothing new or different is tried. People want one thing, but end up getting jack shit.

That’s what happened to health care, to electoral reform, to Trump’s wall, to his promises to ‘lock her up,’ and to pursuing good relations with all countries.

But all those who fall for this crooked system, along its false promises and illusions deserve to lay on the ground-permanently.

A Permanent Cure

The US, due to its own failures and ineptness, has been piling on sanctions on Iran in order to pressure it to give in to US demands.

The EU, which has been playing the 'good cop' to the US 'bad cop,' has also violated the terms of the JCPOA by relenting to US sanctions on Iran.

The EU has been trying to cajole Iran into staying in the agreement, without any benefit to Iran, by dangling promises such as the setting up of a trading mechainsm between Iran and the EU that would bypass US sanctions and enable EU companies to do business with Iran. But this mechanism itself would be subject to US approval, control, and would be sanctioned itself.

So the EU, lacking the courage to provide sanctions relief for Iran, has decided to join in with the US by falsely blaming Iran for the Aramco refinery bombings. 

All EU officials know that Iran did not do this. But by falsely blaming Iran, and taking the wrong side of the lying US regime, the EU is trying to turn reality upside-down by making it look like it is Iran that has been the bad actor, and get itself off the hook for the failures and violations of its own obligations under the JCPOA.

There is no longer any point of Iran appealing to the EU, which has unfairly decided to join the US sanctions regime against Iran. It is doubtful that the EU will do the right thing here.

So, what next?

The US and the EU must be forced to do the right thing,and rejoin the JCPOA under current terms and honor their commitments.

How to do this?

Like this: Russia and China should sign a defense pact with Iran, admit it to the SCO, invest in Iran's economy, institute technology-sharing, and sell Iran arms.

In return for this, Iran remains in the JCPOA and complies with all its terms, and suspends all work and research on missile technology.

That way, Iran would be assured full security, the US and EU could not touch it, or use the excuse that Iran is no longer following the JCPOA and is therefore 'building nuclear weapons and delivery systems.' Such a move by Russia and China would cut off the US and EU's legs from under them.

But since there is also the risk of reciprocation by a recalcitrant US regime against Russia-for example in Ukraine or Georgia-Russia and China should make all the terms of the defense agreement temporary in nature until the US regime and the EU rejoin the JCPOA, annull all sanctions, and come to an agreement with Iran's government, as it is.

Although the US could try the same strategy against Russia and China, bear in mind that Russia and China are not aggressive, expansionist powers and do not seek to violently impose their will on others through regime changes and such. So the US enacting the same strategy would not affect either country in any serious way. It would, at worse, lead to a stalemate and actually prevent further wars and unrest. And Russia also has the option of expanding its defense agreement and protection to, for example, Donbass.

China currently has such an agreement with North Korea since the 1960s, and the US is treading very carefully.

And to speed things up, Russia and China can give the US 24 months to come around, or else Iran will be put under the Russian nuclear umbrella. If the US is still defiant, then Russia and China should give the US 12 more months. And if the US still refuses to act in a civilized and responsible manner, then Russia and China should make the entire agreement permanent.

If the US gives in (and it will have to), Russia and China should serve as guarantors of the agreement, and the moment the US or EU violate its terms in any way, the defense agreement will come into full force. With such a sword hanging over the US regime and the feckless, cowardly, and pathetic EU establishment, sanctions and regime change fantasies against Iran would be ended, permanently.

When the US realizes the game is up, it will have to behave itself.

It is time for Russia and China to step up, and put their feet down. Enough is enough. The US is scared of both countries and will not confront them, or any nation they are partnered with militarily. Look at Syria. US got cut down to size there because of Russia's military involvement. This is effective, and will definitely work in regards to Iran.

What do Russia and China have to lose? The US is already sanctioning them for doing business with Iran and for other things, so they might as well get something for it. Such a defense agreement with Iran would work. The US would most likely relent, and the EU would quickly follow.

A Russian/Chinese/Iranian defense agreement is the best option for them, and other nations. It would take any wars against Iran permanently off-the-table, and it would also benefit the US, as well.

Such a scenario isn't some pie-in-the-sky vision. Russia and China have already pledged help to Tehran, and a formal defense pact would just be a formality.
 
The alternative is more anti-Iranian taunting, provocations, threats and false flags that will cause more problems in the future for everyone. It is best to nip this US-led kookery in the bud, ASAP, in a resolute and effective way.

Ka-Boom & Bust

The recent bombings by Yemeni drones of two major Saudi Arabian Aramco oil refineries has caused consternation and anger within the Saudi and US regimes.

The US wasted no time falsely putting the blame for the bombings on Iran. US regime’s spokes-vermin, in their typical reptilian logic claim that there is no way that a beleaguered and small militant group as the Houthis could have the ability to carry out such a devastating precision bombing.

But these US regime reptiles seem to be ignoring the fact that the Houthis have been using drones to target the Saudis, their allies, bases and infrastructure for years.

The Yemeni Houthi movement has clearly claimed responsibility for this. Why would they do so, if they did not do it and open themselves up to possible retaliation?

The US is falsely pinning the blame for these refinery bombings on Iran because it is too cowardly to admit that its forces and weaponry have failed to protect its Saudi client-state cash-cow from a militant movement in a war-ravaged country.

But these false accusations will not find a willing audience, except for a few miserable pee-ons in the region and in Europe. No one else believes this US hyped-up tripe anymore.

These refinery bombings were a huge blow to US prestige. The US regime, military, and weapons makers were all greatly embarrassed.

The inability of US military planners and US-made weaponry to counter the Houthi drones is also a sobering wake-up call to all those countries with which the US has any sort of ‘defense’ agreements and partnerships with.

These attacks made the US look unreliable and inept. This realization has not been lost on the US regime’s faithful vassals, especially the ones in Europe that see the US as the lynch pin of NATO and who count on the US for their ‘protection.’

If a small group of Yemeni militants were able to cut through US ‘defenses’ and score a devastating win, then what is a country like Iran, Russia or China capable of? And will the US be able to defend anyone from such adversaries? This question is no longer a resounding YES, but at best a MAYBE.

US VP Mike Pence has been sent out to make the rounds on TV to do damage control by talking tough and threatening everyone. This is standard procedure whenever the US gets a black eye.

This will no doubt be followed up by self-convincing, self-soothing pep-talks by US vassals from London to Warsaw who will heap fawning praise on the US, while convincing themselves that the ‘US is still strong, and that there is no need to ever doubt the US commitments and ability to defend Europe,’ or some similar clap-trap along this line.

When people who think they are the best suddenly get knocked down a few rungs, the absurdities just don’t stop.

The US regime is paranoid about looking weak or losing to anyone. This obsession with always having to appear powerful may not be simply for commercial purposes or even as a means to dominate others.

The US has to do everything it can to at least appear formidable in order to keep at bay all of the victims of its imperial rampages.

If the US becomes weak, its victims will tear it apart.

What the US gained by hook, crook and murder it needs to maintain by hook, crook and murder. This is certainly true of it’s criminal connivance with the evil KSA Wahhabists when it comes to keeping the petro-dollar system alive and oil profits flowing West. We can see this in the demented lengths to which the US is ready to go in falsely blaming Iran for the refinery bombings without any evidence to speak of.

But as with all its misadventures in the Mideast for the past 20 years, the US, with its breaking of treaties, aiding and abetting terror groups, sanctions and economic terrorism, and assisting the House of Saud with bombing and blockading Yemen for 5+ years and causing tens of thousands of civilian deaths, disease and starvation, has no one else to blame but itself.

It says a lot about the moral degradation of the US establishment when the bombing of an oil refinery is more devastating to them than the devastation of civilian lives and infrastructure caused by its own bombs.

The US wanted to sell its overpriced, shoddy weaponry to Saudi Arabia so it could bomb Yemen non-stop, so now it has to pay the price with higher oil prices and domestic economic downturn that will most likely follow after the Aramco bombings.

But that is the price the US will have to be prepared to pay for its stupidity.

If the US wants to bomb, then it will get bombed in return. There is no way around this.

Ask the Saudis.

80 Years Later

On August 23, 1939, the Soviet Union and Germany signed the Non-aggression Pact. The Soviet Union was compelled to do so by severe necessity, and the difficult decision was made under duress. It had to be made in a very limited time, when the failure of the Anglo-Franco-Soviet trilateral negotiations became obvious, and the possibility of rapprochement between Britain and France with Germany was becoming ever more real. It was necessary to take into account the Japanese factor – the ongoing hostilities at Khalkhin Gol and the military tension in relations with Tokyo that set in for an indefinite time. The Soviet Union could not wage war on two fronts, in the East and the West.
 
By signing the Pact and the secret protocol, the Soviet leadership pursued the following goals:
- prevent being drawn into the war;
- disrupt the emerging Anglo-German deal (second Munich pact);
- retain room for military-strategic and political manoeuvre;
- prevent Nazi occupation of the entire territory of Poland, which would significantly worsen the military-strategic position of the Soviet Union.
 
While the Munich Pact gave the Nazis an entire European country and its population to ravage, including Jews who were subject to mass destruction, the August 23 deal removed vast areas of Western Ukraine and Belarussia from the German sphere of influence, saving them from the “new order” and a Holocaust.

The Nazi occupation of Poland confirmed that the decision adopted by the Soviet leadership was correct. Great Britain and France left the Poles to their fate and, without losing hope of a confrontation between Germany and the Soviet Union, made a choice in favour of the so-called Phoney War, which was waged for more than eight months and significantly facilitated Hitler's aggression against European countries and the Soviet Union.(1)

Lets us not forget that by signing the Munich Agreement of 1938, Poland, Hungary, and Great Britain directly took part in the dismemberment of the Czech Republic. After this happened, the Czechs uttered an ominous warning to Poland that they will be Hitler's next victims; a warning that proved all too true.

Poles to this day whine and cry over the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact of 1939 which dismembered their country, yet conveniently forget about Poland's part in dismembering the Czech Republic. 

Although Poland's interest in the Munich Pact was driven by the recovery of the Teschen district-which the Czechs took away in an unfair manner by going back on an earlier deal they made with Poland some years earlier-it was still in very poor taste for Poland to exploit the Hitlerian dismantling of a European state to get that territory back. Poland paid for this scummy deed a year later.

And as for blaming the Soviet Union for invading Poland on September 17, 1939, the Soviets paid for this a year or so later during Operation Barbarossa, and redeemed themselves by the great sacrifice they made to the victory over Nazism.

Poles need to seriously reflect on what would have been the fate of Poland-as well as the rest of Europe-if Nazi Germany succeeded in marching into Moscow and taking control over Russia in 1941. The natural resources of a defeated Russia would multiply Germany's strength, and neither Great Britain and the US would have any appetite for confronting it at that point.

So Poles should consider themselves lucky. They got the least worse option out of the two. Because what Hitler had planned for the Poles, Russians, and other Slav 'subhumans' made Stalinist abuses pale in comparison.

Poland has an unhealthy and fatalistic tendency to view historical events selectively. It cherry-picks German and Soviet crimes and points them out, sometimes to the point of morbid paranoid obsession, but conveniently forgets its own shortcomings. This is most evident when it comes to WW2.


Poland also added fuel to the fire it found itself in on September 1, 1939 when it repeatedly refused to enter into any anti-German pact which included the Soviet Union. Poland's rabid Russophobia proved to be its ultimate undoing. If Poland did join in a pact with the Soviets and other nations, perhaps Hitler would've been too scared to launch any wars and there would be no Molotov-Ribbentrop treaty or a WW2.

And lastly, Poles need to keep in mind the extreme devastation and death visited upon them between 1939-1945, learn from it, and help ensure that this never happens again. 

Poles can do this by shunning confrontation and animosity (along with anyone who promotes it) and work for the peaceful resolution of differences and problems with every country-especially with Russia-instead of taunting, provoking, and insulting it at every turn for shallow political ends at the behest of the US regime and the NATO rabble.

This is the only sane, sensible, and responsible way to go, and is in Poland's best interest. 

The other path could very well lead to a future that will make Poland's WW2 losses look like a paper cut; and that's only if there is even anything left of Poland after the radioactive dust settles.

Anti-Iranian Delusions

The US, always the loyal zionist shabbos goy, has been provoking and taunting Iran for the last few months with false flags, threats, and increased economic terrorism.

It started some months ago when some tanker ships passing through the Persian gulf were mysteriously bombed.

The US regime immediately accused Iran. The US navy even produced a movie purportedly showing an Iranian speedboat crew removing a limpet mine from the side of one of the tankers.

The US regime presented this ‘footage’ as clear evidence of Iran’s guilt. Also, the US navy, with all its technology and presence, could only see fit to film a short segment of the act? It could not film anything before it?

Those tankers were not attacked by Iran. They were attacked by either the CIA, Mossad, or MI6 and blamed on Iran in order to compel countries into joining in on the US anti-Iranian sanctions.

This ploy did not work, and the entire incident, as well as the US navy’s grainy ‘context-free’ video, were judged as nowhere good enough to implicate Iran.

(whenever the US shows the world a grainy, black and white video of some state-designated enemy supposedly doing something bad, it is a given that the video is fake. A bad-quality video prevents any type of adequate scrutiny, and can be interpreted-or in this case simply passed off-as whatever its creators want it to be)

The rejection of this so-called ‘evidence’ by the EU, Russia and others did not go down well with the B-Team (Bibi Netanyahoo, John Bolton, and Bin Salman), and something else had to be found to stir up an anti-Iranian frenzy.

So literally out of the blue, the US sends in a stealth drone that violates Iranian airspace and is shot down by Iran.

Of course, the US immediately lied and said that Iran did not shoot down a US drone. But then Iran produced actual pieces of it. Another credibility point for Iran here.

Along with the drone, the US regime sent a P-8 reconnaissance aircraft up there as well with a crew of over 30 people on-board.

Iran shot down the drone, but spared the plane. This shows two things:

1. Iran has the capability to shoot down US stealth aircraft using indigenously produced anti-air systems

2. The US, by sending a plane with people on-board, may have been using the plane as bait, and hoped Iran would shoot it down and create the perfect excuse for war; a war into which NATO would be dragged into. Let’s remember that the US won’t go into a fight alone. It needs legions of vassals to do the fighting as well.

Trump then stated that he called off the strike because he was worried about killing about 150 people. But killing people did not matter to him when bombed Syria, twice, under false pretexts. He also gave another excuse that the destruction of an unmanned drone was not worth going to war over.

Most likely what happened was that the foolish Trump and his evil advisers Bolton and Pompeo cooked up this provocation and were hoping that Iran target and destroy the P-8 aircraft, not the drone. The drone was probably there to capture the destruction of the plane.

The neo-cons staged this provocation and had their fingers on the trigger, ready to go.

But after Iranians didn’t take the bait, Trump called everything off.

Those pilots who were on that P-8 plane need to really think about what could’ve happened, and what they were really sent up there for that day, after taking into account the events afterwards.

Those people who failed to see that they were to play the roles of sacrificial lambs are hopeless morons. Those that did should leave their posts ASAP and flee far, far away.

Because as things stand, the US government basically wanted them killed in order to create an excuse to wage a war of aggression against another country by means of a false flag.

The Iranians decided to spare the P-8 knowing what its role was supposed to be, thereby saving a bunch of people, and preventing a conflict.

After this second failed attempt at a false flag that could be blamed on Iran, the US regime ratcheted up sanctions and further economic terrorism.

However, the US could not get the EU to go against Iran, and its sanctions pressure and threats were starting to get a push-back. The IAEA condemned US actions at a meeting called by the US to complain about-get this-Iran’s decision to suspend some of its obligations under the JCPOA (a totally legal step which is allowed under the agreement), an agreement from which the US withdrew from and no longer has a right to either enforce or comment on.

The US was left looking like a chump.

So not knowing where to turn, the US regime’s Iran-obsessed John Bolton recently decided to bring in the UK into the grinder by talking them into seizing an Iranian oil tanker when it passed through the Strait of Gibraltar.

Since this event, we now know that the UK deliberately changed laws on the passage of ships through the area to create an excuse to seize the Iranian tanker. UK did so a mere 36 hours before the seizure.

The UK excuse was that the ship was en-route to Syria, and that the UK was enforcing EU sanctions on supplying oil to Syria. That the tanker was sailing to Syria has not been established as a fact.

But even if it was, Iran is not an EU-member, and EU sanctions do not apply to it.

Therefore, the UK committed an act of piracy by seizing the ship. It also did so in waters that are disputed and claimed by Spain.

Iran warned the UK that there would be consequences, and a week or so later, it seized a UK-flagged tanker in the Strait of Hormuz.

The UK then started whining that Iran seized the ship illegally, and that it wants other countries to now patrol the Persian Gulf to guarantee the safety of ships; all this without any hint of irony regarding its seizure of the Iranian tanker.

This fake crisis was manufactured by the US regime in order to draw the EU into its sick game with Iran. By trying to get EU countries to send military forces into the region, the US, in a roundabout way, is compelling the EU to basically renege on their JCPOA obligations, and could also be setting the stage for a military conflict with Iran.

Because once US and its vassals military forces are adequately built up under the guise of securing shipping routes, all it will take is one false flag against Iran where NATO soldiers die, and the US will have everyone conveniently in place for a full-on assault on Iran.

This is all also being done at the behest of the zionist regime, which is nervous about Iranian presence in Syria, and that it is assisting both Hamas and Hezbollah in becoming more formidable, so they can better defend themselves from future zionist aggression.

Zionistan has still not forgotten about the drubbing it got from Hezbollah in 2006, and it worried that it will not win another war, since zionist forces are in an appalling state of readiness and have been for years.

Couple this with the fact that the ‘Greater Israel’ plan has been killed due to Russian and Iranian involvement in Syria, and we can see why the zionist rabble ruling Palestine is acting so deranged.

They got their US-based allies and feckless EU sympathizers to do the dirty work for them.

The US government has become an extension of the zionist regime. The US congress has become an extension of the knesset. Pro-zionists even have their own caucus to lobby for all things that the zionist regime wants. But this is all to the long-term detriment of the US itself, and only adds to the rot within the country.

Top-level posts in US departments have been stuffed with pro-zionist Jews or their gentile errand-boys. This process is being repeated in other countries as well.

These schizophrenic pro-zionists then go to great lengths to torment and malign any country, group, and individuals who the zionist regime sees as an ‘enemy.’

These zionist Jews and their gentile cohorts are at the forefront of the economic terror against Iran, Syria, and any other country that refuses to bow down to them.

The zionists even got the morally-challenged US congress to make any sort of boycott action against zionistan illegal.

Sigal P. Mandelker is one of the newer pro-zionist Jewish vermin who serves as the Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence as well as the Acting United States Deputy Secretary of the Treasury. How convenient!

This piece of shit recently warned countries to avoid doing any kind of business and transactions with Iranian air carriers, including ticket booking and processing, or face sanctions.

The zionists have become so paranoid and depraved that they are even forcing people to stop traveling to Iran. It seems the zionists don’t even want anyone going there and seeing the facts that contradict US and zionist anti-Iranian propaganda.

But these are all acts of desperation.

The US and zionistan are losing influence and power, and cannot stand it.

Iran busted up a US spy ring recently, and that has caused serious damage to the CIA’s ability to conspire against Iran. Many CIA agents have been apprehended and eliminated in Iran and other countries with whom Iran shares intelligence.

US intelligence about Iran is now seriously lacking, and therefore the US regime is unable to make decisions that will have the most effect. We can see this with Trump’s and the US military’s bumbling efforts against Iran recently.

This would explain why the US is applying so many sanctions. They can’t get a good grip on Iran, so they are just shooting blind.

But Iran is no push-over. Its capabilities are formidable, and it is capable of inflicting heavy damage on US forces, if it is attacked.

There is no doubt that the shooting down of the US stealth drone, a drone which was deemed untouchable by the US, has rattled the US military. They are now worried about what else Iran may have.

But all this recent drama is the fault of the US. Its withdrawal from the JCPOA and provocations against Iran have made the US look bad.

And into the mix stepped in the UK, and it made itself look foolish after seizing the Iranian tanker.

Everyone can see that the bad guy in all this is not Iran.

It would behoove the EU to refrain from being dragged into any further US-made messes.

The US, and those who go along with its anti-Iranian idiocy are on the wrong side of history.

The US-ual sUSpects

The US has been running around blaming Iran for two tanker ships that suffered damage due to explosions while sailing in the Persian Gulf.

This comes at a time when US violated the JCPOA, and has been sanctioning Iran for its nuclear power program.

That Iran would target ships, one of which was Japanese while the Iranian President Rouhani was hosting the Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, is sheer absurdity.

But this latest US-staged false flag did not have much takers.

Besides the filthy zionists, and the huge stain that covers Westminster, no one else believed the ruse.

It is clear that these ‘attacks’ were false flags staged by the US in collusion with the zionists and their Gulf state Wahhabi cohorts.

After months of threats, backing out of the JCPOA, and cruel sanctions on Iran, the world knows that the US is the prime culprit in this scenario. 

Notice how none of the ships suffered serious damage, and none were sank.

Whoever perpetrated these attacks was going for PR effect, not real damage.

If the Iranians really used mines or torpedoes, at least one of those ships would be sitting at the bottom of the Persian Gulf.

Not even the owners of one of those ships wanted to play along in this US-made fake news drama.

Let us not forget that these sorts of false flag incidents were promoted by anti-Iranian demagogues and pro-zionist firsters for years.

In their speeches and policy papers, they all called for destabilization campaigns and false flags that could be blamed on Iran to justify sanctions and military intervention.

One of the chief architects and promoters of these criminal policies, is Donald Trump’s national security advisor, John Bolton.

John Bolton is the poster-boy for everything that is wrong with US foreign policy.

His deranged, extremist neo-conservative ideology leaves no room for anything other than military force and threats to keep US above all without equal, in every way.

He thinks that anyone who tries to compete with the US in any way must be destroyed or weakened.

He thinks that any and all measures taken to ensure US superiority and hegemony, no matter how despicable and disastrous, are justified.

He has undoubtedly cooked up these tanker attack false flags to once again make a fake case for confrontation.

He did so before in 2003 when he helped cook up the Iraqi WMD fantasy which was used to illegally attack Iraq and cause over 1 million deaths, and millions of refugees.

He still thinks that what was done to Iraq was right.

And Donald Trump appoints this walking mental case as his national security adviser; even though in Trump’s past tweets he criticized the invasion of Iraq and those behind it.

Either Trump has lost his mind, or he has lost control of his administration.

All he does is send childish, condescending, ill-informed tweets, while neo-con lunatics are running the White House.

If Trump does not get rid of these people, they will destroy what is left of his presidency.

For all its huffing and puffing, the US cannot afford anymore protracted wars. Another war like the one in Iraq will collapse the US and world economies. Trump knows this, and so do his advisers and the pentagoons.

They’d love to be able to attack Iran. They would’ve done it already, but the US military has been battered by almost two decades of incessant, unwinnable conflicts that have worn down much of its equipment and personnel.

The US is no longer capable of prolonged military engagements in an active battlefield and win. The US can start a war, but cannot finish it, and definitely cannot finish it quickly.

The US military will need at least a few decades to reconstitute itself, but only if it stops the wars and conflicts it is engaged in ASAP, and scales back its many other military commitments and bases.

Add to that the Iranian military response, which may include, long-range missiles targeting US bases, ships and zionistan, while Iran's allies do their thing all throughout the region.

What the US is probably trying to do is stage false flags and blame them on Iran in order to erode any support and sympathy Iran has, and force the EU to exit the JCPOA and slap Iran with even more sanctions.

They will use these tactics to weaken Iran and make it do what the US wants.

But this will not work. The Iranians are too smart, and the rest of the world knows that the US is full of shit, and there are not going to be many takers fooled by ‘Iranian terrorism’ after Trump and his mentally-disturbed advisers have been running around making their intentions real clear, leaving treaties, and threatening everyone.

Only a hopeless moron, or a person with the morals of a virus will go along with US lies and false accusations.

All these US criminal acts, sanctions, tariffs and blockades are due to loss of power and control in world affairs. They are borne out of unacknowledged weakness and failure.

The US is incapable of acknowledging its failures. It ignores them, refuses to learn from them, and keeps on making the same mistakes over and over again while blaming other countries for the negative consequences. The US regime and public are mentally trapped in a fatalistic optimism that simply does not pay the dividends that are expected.

And when things go awry for the US regime, and US society as a whole, when their so-called ‘efforts’ and ‘sacrifices’ does not result in heaven on earth-as US propaganda dictates-a scapegoat is immediately created; whether it be Russia, China, Iran or something else.

Someone has to be found who will be blamed for all the dashed expectations of the hapless US society.

US election system is not delivering the right results? It must be Russian meddling!

US companies offshoring jobs to other countries? It’s China’s fault!

No one wants to buy sub-standard US food and shoddy cars? It’s because of foreign protectionism!

Another country has better technology? It’s because they ‘stole’ it from the US!

F-35 experiences problem after problem? It’s always the pilot’s fault!

A foreign government does not want to sell itself out, cheap, to the US? It’s because they’re a horrible communist dictatorship!

There’s always an excuse. There’s always a cop-out. There’s always someone else to blame.

Heavens forbid that the US did something bad and stupid, and be made to admit it, and apologize. No, that must never be allowed to happen! It is un-American!

Because even when the US is wrong, its intentions are the most good and noble, regardless of the amount of blood, bodies, and destruction it sows.

Just sweep it all under a little rug, and be quiet.

That is the essence of the massive, chronic delusion that has infected US society, from its rotten and failed government, to the willfully-ignorant US citizen turd who thinks anyone who isn’t ‘American’ is inferior and not worth consideration.

The US likes to promote itself as the ‘good guy’ in world affairs, and as a ‘victim’ of terrorism, or whatever else makes it look like a poor, hurt innocent at the time.

But the truth is, that the US has never, ever been a victim of anyone.

Let me repeat this, because it needs to sink in and be remembered forever: 

The US has never, ever been a victim of anyone.

The US has always been the victimizer. It’s entire history is one of victimizing other peoples and nations. There is no corner of the earth that the US has not hurt and made miserable.

The closest the US has come to being a ‘victim’ was when those it victimized fought back.

r a victim of its own stupidity. But even in those scenarios, the US was a ‘victim’ like a mugger who tried to rob someone and got beaten up by their prey is a victim.

By unbending principle, the US is against everything and everyone that it cannot control, exploit, and manipulate for its own self-serving purposes.

The US is also psychotically intolerant of any other nation that dares to make something better that the US can, especially when it comes to high tech.

Any other nation that succeeds in developing any technology that is ahead of whatever the US has is immediately dubbed a ‘national security threat.’ It does not matter whether that country is a client or a sworn enemy.

In such a situation, tariffs, sanctions, and blockades quickly follow.

To prevent such advantages, the US will resort to the most reptilian tactics. It will blow up oil tankers and blame Iran. It will shoot down planes and blame Russia. It will hold foreign technology company executives for ransom unless China agrees to whatever trade ‘deal’ the US pushes on them.

The US won’t even tolerate anyone or anything that equals its capabilities.

As has been said before on this blog, the US will not succeed in its aims because they are based on lies and deception, which is unhealthy.

This is why the US is failing, and will continue to fail. Success is not possible.

It does not matter what its rulers do or say. Each word and action of theirs that is based on lies and deceit is another step toward the precipice.

Raw Deals

Trump has been threatening China with 25% tariffs on tens of billions worth of goods, if China does not agree to his ‘deal.’

First of, the US is in no place to dictate economic terms. Let’s look at some facts.

-Chinese economy is growing faster than the US economy

-China has outpaced the US economically for years now

-China does not have unmanageable levels of debt

-US debt is $22 trillion and counting. Two trillion were added on during Trump’s reign

-US lives on credit

-US imports from China account for only 19% of Chinese exports

China can manage without Trump’s shady, one-sided deals.

Trump’s pushiness is explained by the fact that overall the US is losing in world affairs. It is driven by desperation. Trump needs a deal with China a lot more than China does.
 
The US cannot effectively compete anymore. Its three biggest exports are printed dollars, banal entertainment, and fear. Hardly worthwhile commodities. 

The various US tariffs on some countries and sanctions on others are a reflection of weakness, not some new-found courage or self-respect.

The world is now multi-polar. The US is no longer the strongest and wealthiest. Naturally, the US regime does not like this development. They whine and complain about it in their policy papers.

New partnerships are forming which don’t include the US or the dollar. Countries now have other options with who to do business, and where to procure goods and services. The US is no longer the preferred supplier of everything.

The OBOR (One Belt One Road), also know as the Silk Road, has been expanding Chinese business and trade all over the world. Chinese investments have been flooding the Mideast. This explains the recent US paranoia about Iran, which is just used as a convenient excuse to stare down China.

Trump’s tariffs will most of all hurt US consumers, because it will be them who will have to pay those tariffs, not China. Also, because of the higher prices on items due to the higher tariffs, the sales taxes will go up as well. So the US consumer will be hit in the pocket twice.

And this does not even factor in the retaliatory tariffs China will impose. So US farmers need to start looking for other means of livelihood, as China will most likely impose tariffs on goods which are actually produced within the US to cause the most pain.

None of this is going to work out for Trump. Tariffs are a cheap tactic to shake down other countries for money, but it will be the US consumers who will have to pay for it all at the end of the day.

If Trump truly wanted to hit China and other countries, he would do what he actually promised in his election campaign: bring manufacturing back to the US.

This has not been happening, and won’t happen. So all other measures are futile and will end up backfiring on the hapless Trump.

US businesses don’t want to bring back manufacturing to the US, even with tax holidays factored in. They would have to pay more for labor, and pay higher taxes. This would make their products expensive, especially within the US. And the average US worker does not earn enough to be able to afford large price increases.

Hopefully, Trump loses the next election. He should get his rear kicked hard, and be disgraced as a one-term fool. Not that anyone should look forward to whatever the democrats puke up. They are equally worthless.

But Trump deserves to lose after the nonsense he has done. Trump's deals are a rip-off for the other side. Not worth it. The US ultimately wants China to surrender control of its banking system to Wall St. and the US treasury dept.

If that happens, US power over Chinese banks will be (ab)used to sanction Russian gas projects and other deals. The US regime will cut China off from Russia. This is their main aim.

And it does no good for anyone in the US to accuse China of ‘stealing’ intellectual property and ideas. These are the same arguments the US peddled about Japan 30 or so years ago.

See the article below from 1989. Just replace the word Japan with China, and this article pretty much applies to 2019. 

The same lame US accusations and whining, exactly 30 years later.

But neither the Japanese nor the Chinese ‘stole’ anything. They bought up US companies and patents, and made them their own versions. That’s how it works. Then they took those ideas and improved them.

If the US wants to crack down on patent infringement and stealing of ideas, it needs to put itself on trial first and foremost, because US copyright and patent infringement goes back a long time. The British used to have a hell of a time in the 19th century with US taking their inventions without paying royalties.

But China is never going to give the US more than it is comfortable with. And if the Chinese, who traditionally want to be accommodating, are pushing back this hard against Trump’s tariff tantrums, then the US side is definitely trying to force a bad deal down their throats. The Chinese can afford to weather this, but the US can’t

But in a way, Trump is actually doing the world a service. With his bad decisions and economic terrorism, he is doing a great job at turning people away from the US.

Maybe Trump is a Manchurian candidate, after all?

Washington Chicken Coup

The recent Venezuelan ‘Peoples’ uprising,’ and subsequent coup touted by US-CIA ASS-et Juan Guiado has fizzled out and failed, spectacularly.

The US propaganda, disinformation, and psyops has not had the effect the US neo-con warmongering circus thought it would.

The entire coup on Tuesday, April 29, has gone bad, and the main ringleaders had to flee for safety. Leopold Lopez, Juan Guiado’s right-hand has fled to the Spanish embassy for protection, and Juan Guiado is hiding somewhere.

These two fools have gotten themselves into a bad predicament, and help is not forthcoming. They both face arrest for treason and sedition.

Their fake US-choreographed coup did not succeed because the majority of the Venezuelan people and the military are against it.

US regime has seriously overstepped its boundaries, and overestimated their own chances. They realize that they are wrong here. Everyone can see this. Even the feckless EU has been cold toward the failed coup attempt.

Trump is making very dangerous mistakes here, and is getting terrible advice. He needs to put a stop to the warmongering of the demented neo-cons John Bolton and Mike Pompeo. These two criminals are leading him down the primrose path to failure, where he will meet disaster and disgrace at the other end. He will end up like George W. Bush, whom these two characters also set up for failure with their Iraq war lies.

And when the walls around Trump crumble in on him, Bolton and Pompeo will jump ship by resigning, and will go on to work for neo-con think tanks where they will keep on promoting their criminal ideology, and wait for the next elected idiot that they can manipulate and mislead to come along.

Is Trump really this ignorant, and thinks that what he is doing is good? Is he being forced to go along with this lunacy, or is he being fed disinformation by Bolton and Pompeo, who are using him to pursue their own evil establishment agendas?

The latter question could explain the failure of the staged coup in Caracas earlier this week. Trump may have been given bogus information that made things look much more favorable than was the case, and naively signed off on it. With a professionally-trained CIA liar like Mike Pompeo by his side, this is quite likely.

But regardless of what happened, Trump has already disgraced himself by breaking his campaign promise to pursue good relations with countries, and to stop the wars and interventions.

He has up to now, whether on his own or as a result of the pressure brought on by the fake Russia-gate fiction, broken international law by recognizing Jerusalem and Golan Heights as zionist territory, backed out of the JCPOA and INF, threatening to walk away from the START treaty, imposing illegal sanctions, threatening military aggression against states that are not a threat to the US, bombing Syria under false pretense twice, and organizing illegal coups.

It is doubtful whether Trump can ever redeem himself. He is too far gone by now, and won’t listen to reason. He says one thing today, and does the opposite tomorrow. He has surrounded himself with dangerous advisers who are feeding him bad ideas.

It is now up to Russia and China and other nations to help Venezuela weather this.

It is highly doubtful that the US will attack Venezuela. US has no support within the country. A military attack on Venezuela would be illegal and would result in a strong backlash, not to mention a quagmire for any US forces sent there.

There is no success for the US in any of this. All US regime changes so far have been disasters. The longer US tries and fails, the less likely it is that it will succeed. This has happened in Syria.

Trump has only two options: economic recovery at home, or war. He can’t have both. 

Maybe Trump is just going along with all this neo-con inspired  nonsense for election purposes.

Many people voted for him because they saw him as a non-interventionist who will end the warmongering and focus on the country.

But Trump has betrayed these principles, and has lost much of the support from those who are against regime changes and wars.

To make up for this loss of support, he has turned to the polar-opposite for support: interventionist malcontents, like the Cuban exile community, and others who want the US to intervene in other countries to fight 'communism,' or whatever else these people see as bad.

Kudos to Hugo Chavez for reorganizing the Venezuelan armed forces and removing US-agents and other saboteurs from within its top ranks. This has, no doubt, made a big difference.

The Venezuelan armed forces have conducted themselves very professionally and honorably. By not selling themselves out to the US regime, they proved that they are not cheap charichatures that can be had for some scraps off the US imperial table. What good would they be, if they betrayed their country to a foreign power? They would’ve lost all legitimacy.

All the best to Venezuela, Maduro, the people of Venezuela, and their allies.

Neo-Con Failures

Ever since Trump was beaten into submission by the establishment, he has for some unexplained reason appointed deranged neo-con advisers and other personalities to his cabinet and various posts.

Two of the worst examples of neo-con depravity are Mike Pompeo, the current US Secretary of State and CIA-trained professional liar, and John Bolton, Trump’s national security adviser who seems to have undiagnosed and untreated mental problems.

The main problem with the deranged neo-con movement is that it is oblivious to reality and facts. The neo-cons refuse to accept reality, if it does not fit their ideological upside-down worldview. So they try to use brute force and the greasiest of methods to undermine and destroy it, whether it be military aggression, false accusations, provocations, sanctions.

But the neo-cons do not realize that there are things that cannot be fought because they are beyond their power to change, no matter how overinflated the neo-cons egos otherwise dictate.

That’s why the neo-con movement is destined to failure. It can only appeal to the ignorant and mentally unstable.

The neo-cons dreams of world domination that were supposed to follow after their ‘success’ in Iraq have not come to pass, and they never will.

The neo-cons ignore the fact that US power is on the wane. New international partnerships are forming which do not rely on US patronage, which is an outdated concept of the post-WW2 period.

All that the neo-cons have done so far, is alienate more countries from the US, and weaken the US in the long-term. Their incorrect, reality-defying beliefs can do nothing else. This has already occurred before with the invasion of Iraq, which was based on false pretenses.

The neo-cons incorrectly believe that the US has more power than it does. But US power has it limits, and those limits have been reached. There is no one else for the neo-cons to fight that will not lead to the destruction of the US in some way.

Since these two neo-con clowns got control of the Trump regime, they have only managed to ruin and spoil relations with everyone around, friend and foe. For enemies, they have sanctions. For their vassals, they have tariffs. 
They tear up treaties and blame others for it, without evidence or any kind of explanation.

After the Russian collusion accusations proved to be untrue, Mr. Pompeo has doubled-down on accusing Russia of interfering in US elections.

One constant is that the neo-cons have caused problems for the US. They work on delusion and assumptions. But this is not the 1990s. The world has changed. New powerful players and partnerships are coming into existence that the US cannot control. They will grow, and undercut the US, as they have already done.

The US needs to adjust to this new reality, but to do so it will need a new way of looking at things. Whether this is possible, only time will tell.

But the fact is that the uni-polar world where the US reigns supreme is over.

In the next 5-10 years, the US will see a negative change in its power and posture. Its influence and strength will wane as the insurmountable debt and the inability to compete with others take their toll on the society.

It will either have to adjust, or will end up destroying itself.

No amount of sanctions, tariffs, theft, lies, false accusations, scapegoating or military threats are going to work.

The neo-cons have exhausted their box of tools. The longer Trump keeps them around, the more problems they will cause.

RussiaGate Blues

So Russiagate has come to an anti-climactic end.

After almost two years of false accusations, anti-Russian propaganda, endless amounts of ‘expert analysis’ from pro-Hillary hot-heads, not to mention ruined relations, broken treaties, and a more dangerous world, Mr. Mueller took the wind out of their sails by announcing in his last and official report that there was no collusion between Trump and the Russian government, and that Russia did not influence the outcome of the election.

However, the hopeless Russophobes still announced with joy that because of current problems between Russia and the US, that relations will not improve.

But wasn't this crisis in relations caused by false accusations of Russian meddling, which have now been disproved?

And that's what this fake drama was all about, folks, ruining relations with, and confronting Russia. The whole 'Russian collusion' BS was just a catalyst concocted to separate the two countries diplomatically and in every other way possible. And once the job was irreversibly done, Mr. Mueller just called the whole charade off. That's all that this was, theater; a $30 million tax-payer-funded theater.

The current confrontation with Russia was pre-ordained before Trump even got elected. Russia had to be punished for its successes and accomplishments in Syria and elsewhere. The establishment had a plan, all decided upon and ready to go once Hillary Clinton won the presidency. Then it was just a matter of her taking it off the shelf and going through it, page by page.

Trump’s election threw those plans into question, at least for a little while.
 
The establishment needed time to brow-beat Trump into submission, remove any half-way sane member of his cabinet, and replace key officials with disgusting, unrepentant neo-con lunatics like John Bolton and Mike Pompeo.

The invention of the Russian collusion nonsense served that purpose. Now that the establishment’s plans for the presidency are back on track, they can do away with the silly Russian collusion farce. The idiots in the media, think tanks, and out in public have served their purpose, and are no longer needed-until the next lie, of course.

If you want proof that this was so, just wait a few weeks/months to see if the US regime will lift any of those sanctions that were slapped on Russia for 'colluding with Trump.’

But don’t hold your breath for that to happen, because you will choke while waiting.

Inhuman Aid

This US aid spectacle was not meant to help. It was meant to provoke tensions and unrest that can serve as an excuse for further US meddling and interference in Venezuela's internal affairs.

How utterly despicable that the US is now using the ruse of providing humanitarian aid to cause violence and promote illegal regime change.

Direct military invasion did not work out for the US regimes in Afghanistan and Iraq. Using proxy militant low-lifes backfired in Libya, and failed spectacularly in Syria. Sanctions aren't working. So now the US seeks to mask its depraved acts of aggression against other nations in the garb of 'humanitarian aid.'

This is just adding insult to a great injury. Shameful actions such as this prove beyond a doubt that the US is ruled by sewer rats.

Mike Pompeo has announced, in true mafia-style, that Maduro's 'days are numbered.'

To drive the depravity even further, the disgusting little man Marco Rubio dared to tweet a picture of a bloody and dead ex-Libyan leader Muammar Gadaffi as a 'warning' to Maduro.

This is the behavior of a violent and dangerous criminal enterprise. It is clearly communicating a threat, and needs to be condemned and confronted by Venezuela and anyone who still cares about law and order in the world.

What if Russia sent out a tweet like this to Porky in Ukraine, or Iran did the same to Nitwityahoo in Zionistan? Russia and Iran would be lambasted for breaking international law by threatening death on a head-of- state. Sanctions and other punishments would surely follow, and the entire planet would be remined of how dangerous Russia and Iran are to the security and stability of the globe.

Yet, no one in Europe seems to bat an eye-lash when the US openly threatens another foreign leader with torture and death.

This is beyond immoral.

If the UN charter is important, then countries not only have the duty to uphold it, but they also have the duty to ensure that other nations uphold it as well. Russia and others must ensure that the US does not get away with violating it again. It will reflect very poorly on Russia, China, and other countries if they do nothing to stop US machinations in Venezuela.

And we have a Venezuelan citizen openly provoking violence and chaos on orders of the US government. He fled to Colombia to organize an illegal border crossing, and has finally been charged with crimes by the Venezuelan government.

Guiado must be immediately stripped of his position and declared an outlaw, because that is what he is. He is calling for actions that could lead to thousands of casualties.

He must not be allowed back into Venezuela for anything, and his assets seized.

He must be made to understand that he is just an expandable, cheap US-trained monkey, and not a president of anything.

He can stay in Colombia indefinitely, or go to Miami and live with the rest of the US-trained S. American war criminals.

His career was short, and is for all practical purposes over. The US regime can call their stooge Guiado anything it wants.

To Venezuelans, he is a traitor.
