Trump’s Presidency: RIP?
In the first weeks of Donald Trumps Presidency we have witnessed a disgraceful if not an unseemly war unfold with mainstream press unrelenting in publishing negative stories about Trump and casting both him and his family in a negative light. While criticism of Trump may be warranted, never before in history has the office of ‘President of the United States of America’ been under such debasement of the prestige and respect it once held, this time by participants whose role is to bring factual news to the public and the intelligence community. Almost in moronic fashion the attacks are daily if not by the hour with talk show hosts ‘getting off’ on satirically casting Trump as a deluded liar verging on insanity and casting his children as spoilt brats and the once prestige publications such as the New York Times and Washington Post feeding fake news they make up and made up lies about virtually anything Trump but particularly anti Russian stories being leaked to them by the intelligence community still smarting as they are along with the Democrats that their candidate Hillary Clinton lost the election so badly.
Trump made it known that he wanted to better relations with Russia, something everyone in the world should welcome to make it a safer place but that gave Clinton something to aim at and she was quick to align Trumps good thinking with weakness, even making him out to be a ‘Russian plant, Putins agent or even a traitor.’ Such fanciful ideas go well in the U.S. as the populace have been trained for decades about the evil of Russia by a military/industrial complex that needs an enemy so enabling a trillion dollar war machine to continue at unbridled feeding pace. Unfounded claims of Russian aggression abound in the U.S. military albeit while the U.S. itself along with NATO amass thousands of American troops and thousands of American armoured vehicles directly along Russia’s borders to contain ‘Russian aggression’, a figment of the military/industrial + Pentagon led war machines imagination and their need to create a cause, but a narrative that Clinton and the democrats willingly ran with for political expediency.
In actuality it is nothing more than the enactment of the Wolfowitz Doctrine the ‘defence’ planning document of former under Secretary of Defence Paul Wolfowitz released in 1992 that calls for continuing U.S. superpower status, U.S unilateralism and pre-emptive strikes where it sees fit and that directly specifies a resurgent Russia as a threat. It also commits the U.S. to the ongoing security of Israel.
Powerful zionist neocon Wolfowitz has had an enormous influence on U.S. foreign policy that continues today and has been explained by 4 Star General Wesley Clark in this speech (https://youtu.be/TY2DKzastu8) made in California in 2007.
He confirms that the policy was to destabilise the Middle East before the rise of another super power that could challenge the policy (Russia). Of the seven countries named by Wolfowitz only Iran has escaped invasion but now we have Trump fingering Iran for special attention as being the country most responsible for ‘terrorist activity’ in the world (without evidence) whilst ignoring oil ally Saudi Arabia as a terrorist source but it is eerily significant that Trump has just met with Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu who openly accuses Iran of being arch enemy No.1.
While Trump thought that being on better terms with Russia was a good thing, to the intelligence community and the military/industrial complex that was not acceptable or allowable so when the intelligence community ‘leaked’ (fed) information about Trumps National Security Adviser Michael Flynn having had a phone conversation with a Russian Diplomat the Deep State reasserted its influence and control of who is in power in the U.S. forcing his resignation and an embarrassing backdown by Trump in accepting Flynn’s resignation now described as a ‘political assassination’. That the National Security Adviser to the President has had his phone conversation tapped, outrageous as this is, has fallen to a side issue. Trump was put in his place.
This is going to be how the Deep State contains Trump showing they are the true power in the U.S. but while Trump has some good ideas he also has some really bad or dumb ideas and taking aim at Iran is one of them. The possibility of a U.S. invasion of Iran is far more than cheap talk, it is a country named by Wolfowitz for destruction and Israel wants Iran destroyed to ruins just like the other 6 Arab countries around it have been destroyed. But things are not going to be that easy as Iran, Russia and China are allies and aware of this thinking.
Unchanged since Trump became President is the massive military build-up along Russia’s borders as though they are ready to invade Russia itself in a pre-emptive strike so that perhaps Russia would become too stretched to defend it’s own borders as well as helping Iran from possible attack. In spite of Trump wanting warmer relations with Russia the Pentagon is on it’s own schedule of manufacturing conflict. Such mad scenarios may seem absurd but as Gen. Wesley Clark explains this actually is part of the plan and Trump is dumb about Iran so anything could happen.
John Schindler, a national security columnist for the Observer and former NSA analyst, published an article on Sunday titled “The Spy Revolt Against Trump Begins,” which asserts that the Intelligence Community is rebelling against Trump over some of his senior officials having alleged ties to the Kremlin. The situation is so bad, according to Schindler, that they are now beginning to withhold intelligence from the White House ‘and go nuclear’ against Trump.
We should be concerned about what is happening this very day, not only a power struggle within the structure of the U.S. leadership and we are not Trump supporters in any sense but the potential for just one little mistake or misunderstanding of intent between nuclear armed countries. What would be left? Just saying.
