Comment censored from Truthdig's 10-8-2019 "Donald Trump's Iran Humiliation"

https://truthdig.com/articles/donald-trumps-iran-humiliation/

Response to:

Nonsense. There WAS outrage against Obama

If not for Truthdig's partisan Trump-hate, this article might have been entitled "John Bolton's Iran Humiliation".
Meanwhile, I find your comment a bit harsh.
I voted for Trump to burn down Washington -- ie Drain the Swamp -- and to end the pointless wars-for-profit (and for Israel). But I give him a bit more slack than you do on ending the wars, considering the obstruction he has faced -- Russia! Russia! Russia! etc -- from the Establishment & Deep State.
The Bolton, Pompeo, Abrams Neocon regime-change foreign policy aggressiveness has been difficult to stomach. The best excuse I can give Trump on that is that these psychopathic war-mongers make excellent "bad cops" in a "good cop/bad cop" strategy. And of course Bolton, the worst and most hated of the bunch, is now booted in disgrace, giving Trump a boost, and allowing him to blame Bolton for the failures of the "Bolton Doctrine" foreign policy.
I understand your disappointment (and your outrage), but I suggest you wait to see what Trump does in the coming year, before passing final judgement. Trump has a fierce desire to win, and knows how. I suspect that, in order to secure his reelection he will demonstrate strategically excellent timing by drawing down the wars in the home stretch to election day.

"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 ...

AW.C moderation back-up 5/16/2018

The Zionists, through their American fifth column, have bought and repurposed the US govt since 1948 (if not before). Congress is owned/subverted by AIPAC, with money from the hoodwinked US J*wish community, to serve Israeli interests ahead of American interests. And they own the State Dept -- and with it US foreign policy -- through more numerous and more abundantly-funded policy shops in DC. This "ownership" has been in effect through US administrations at least back to Truman, but you, addicted to Trump-hate, insist on making it about Trump. It is the opposition to Trump, the opposition by folks like you, in your refusal to help rebuild America, in your petulance and emotional self-indulgence, that drove Trump into the arms of the worst of America's domestic enemies. Trump's failure to drain the swamp falls squarely at the feet of those like you, who refused to support the President in his efforts to fix America. Have a peacef...

The movement to free Julian Assange

In response to a similar comment by  ISHKABIBBLE   /   FEBRUARY 18, 2019 on Caitlin Johnstone's Website: https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2019/02/18/watch-my-speech-on-assanges-persecution-for-whistle-blowing-wikileaks-the-future-of-democracy/#comment-9130 I am comprehensively in agreement with you. For the last two or three years, I have entertained the same idea. So let me now expand on your — and my — suggestion. First of all, this undertaking should be done completely out in the open. There should be no secrecy involved. It should be a mass, overt, worldwide effort, with invitations to assemble in London for the event sent out to all those who support Assange. There should be no question whatsoever that it is an in-your-face repudiation and challenge to the British “Establishment”/Deep State. The action would be nothing less than a “Declaration of Independence” issued by the people of the world against the craven and unlawful imprisonment of by the UK...
