Sunshine on the Suck-ups

In response to an article -- "a splendid little war could end Trump's presidency" -- by Jim Jatras

https://www.chroniclesmagazine.org/a-splendid-little-war-could-end-trumps-presidency-/

Jatras is a perfect example of the comprehensive cluelessnesss of the political class. Here, on display is the reason US foreign policy has been a flat out disaster for the last thirty years. Generations in the echo chamber of foreign policy "expertise", where the rule is bobble-headed yes-man servility and craven obsequiousness to the interests of the 1%, has lead US foreign policy to a place where an enforced and self-reinforcing notion of "expertise" is in fact zombified incompetence.

Trump is in the big chair. That Jatras cannot see him except through the lens of "a shallow, superficial, unqualified Twitter-addicted unstable personality who never should have been allowed into the Oval Office..." clearly indicates that a war for the definition of "qualified", "expertise", and "reality-connected",... a war for the control of the cultural narrative, a war over who is ***QUALIFIED*** to lead American politics is engaged. If Trump proves to be a frikkin genius, a masterful political operator, and a pragmatic "peace-monger" who can rescue the US -- and the world -- from the death spiral of American Imperial militarism, then the Jatrases of the world -- overpaid, arrogant, self-important parasites -- will be discredited, and kicked to the curb, as they should be. At which point American can start on the long road to recovery. 

I know that many, like Jatras, hoping for his own rescue in Trump's demise, will point to Trump's recent apparent bellicosity, and say he's gone over to the "same old same old" war-mongery. But these are ninth or tenth generation political hacks, blinded from birth by Neocon Kool-Aid. They are thoroughly disconnected from reality and frankly ***INCAPABLE*** of competence. So their wishful and whimsical "visions of sugar plums" -- ie Trump's early departure -- will "poof!" be gone when Trumpian success at last shines a light on their catastrophically destructive "leadership" in the post ww2 period. 

Three years nine months to go. Check back in again when you actually have some evidence to support your crackpot hopefulness.

"Terrorism" and other manipulations

From The Next Big Future, which I believe is Brian Wang's website/blog (I'm new at this stuff) , I find a piece entitled Terrorism is a subset of Murder http://nextbigfuture.com/2011/03/terrorism-is-subset-of-murder.html (asserting, if I get it right, that Terrorism is illegitimate by virtue of being criminal). One commenter, Gigi, responded: As I have already tried to say before, I consider any use of the word “terrorism” more or less pointless. In fact, reading much of the western media about “terrorism” there is almost nowhere any clear definition of the word “terrorism”, for the simple reason that for any kind of such definition many of the military actions taken by the West against unarmed civilians in, say, Iraq or Vietnam may well fall in this definition. Is this an action of terrorism? http://boingboing.net/2010/04/... Simply put it, if Hamas kills one Israeli civilian it is terrorism, if the US or Israel directly kill 10 or more Palestinian it is

Origins of Covid

Clearly too

The future of the Zionist "project".

You're right about Herzl being dead at the time of the Balfour Declaration. But that's just a quibble. The killer, thieving, lying Zionists intended from day one to take all of Palestine, "disappear" the Palestinians, and "deal with" anyone who got in their way. This is the pattern of five-thousand years which has always brought reaction and grief for the Jews. In the post-Holocaust era it was the height of political incorrectness to notice the pattern, and suggest that Jewish misbehavior was the source of anti-Jewish "persecution" -- blowback really -- down the ages. Now the internet has opened a gap in the Zionist propaganda, and the truth has flowed out for all the world to see. In full view of the world we see killer Zionists sitting on sofas on a hill overlooking Gaza watching the mass slaughter, and celebrating. This is the nature of the Jewish power elite. And somehow they think no one will notice their barbarism. Nukes or no nukes
