When it comes to something the Russians actually have done, there is a peculiar area of Russian propaganda I find particularly offensive; that is flipping of CIA and MOSSAD information operations back onto themselves.
Relevant to this, Dmitry Orlov, smug and full of himself, which causes him to miss critical avenues & information, but apart from that very smart, pens a piece well worth reading about intelligence agencies false narratives contributing to social decay (I would merely add this ancient phenomenon only became an existential threat in the modern age … we could replace BC with BG (Before Gutenberg.) In any case Dmitry mentions…
“Most recently, British “special services,” which are a sort of Mini-Me to the to the Dr. Evil that is the US intelligence apparatus, saw it fit to interfere with one of their own spies, Sergei Skripal, a double agent whom they sprung from a Russian jail in a spy swap. They poisoned him using an exotic chemical and then tried to pin the blame on Russia based on no evidence. There are unlikely to be any more British spy swaps with Russia, and British spies working in Russia should probably be issued good old-fashioned cyanide capsules (since that supposedly super-powerful Novichok stuff the British keep at their “secret” lab in Porton Down doesn’t work right and is only fatal 20% of the time)”
Now, for simple argument’s sake, let’s suppose it wasn’t the British or the Russians (because it is simply unnecessary to jump to these opposing conclusions and shut other lines of inquiry down) but a third party had poisoned the Skripals. On top that, we’ll toss into the soup the leaked (in Britain) proposed fact Sergei Skripal was the intermediary to the source of the so-called ‘Steele Dossier.’ Then, we can throw into this mix the strong circumstantial evidence the Skripals were meeting clandestinely with parties unknown the day they were poisoned:
“Think back to the day of 4th March. According to the police, both Sergei and Yulia caused their phones to be untraceable in the morning, which … either means that they took the batteries out, or that they placed them in Faraday Bags … For four hours??? Who makes their phones untraceable to go to put flowers on a grave? … People who are involved in something potentially dangerous, which they do not want prying eyes and ears to see and hear, that’s who.
“Think back to Sergei’s agitated state in Zizzis, which was not the result of nerve agent poisoning, since the witness who noticed it stated that he did not appear to be physically ill. Why was he so agitated then? Why was he in such a hurry to leave that he ordered the bill to come at the same time as the main course? Probably because he had to get somewhere by a certain time, but also, I believe, because he knew that he was in some kind of danger.
“Add those two things — the untraceable four hours in a cemetery, and the agitation in Zizzis — to what happened afterwards, and it’s very clear that something was up that day, well before the bench [where the Skripals were found.] It is clear that Sergei and Yulia were up to something, and whatever that something was, they knew it to be very dangerous”
It follows, if the British clandestine services wanted the Skripals dead, they’d not have survived subsequent hospitalization, it’s that simple. This thought is reinforced by the fact Sergei and Julia Skripal have been held nearly incommunicado in British state custody for reasons (plural) that are unknown (to the wider public) to now. Other than the Skripals were kept alive for the obvious, the British secret services wanted to know what actually had been going on, on 4 March, a related reason they are held incommunicado is a reason that can easily be surmised with a reasonable degree of confidence; the Skripal poisoning doesn’t match ‘the Russians did it’ propaganda.
Were the Skripals meeting with Christopher Steele or, alternatively, someone Steele arranged Sergei Skripal to meet with? (a cut-out.) Or someone else about something else altogether? Those are all avenues worth exploring but a problem unnecessary to solve for purpose of today’s essay direction. It is enough to point out by this time ‘the dossier’ was seriously in danger of falling apart but too late in the game to correct course for Steele, the FBI and the corrupt Department of Justice investigation into Trump on the USA end, the dossier had been swallowed, as can be said, ‘hook, line and sinker.’ Even if the ‘dossier’ line were to be abandoned, by this time it is clear, someone else will eventually have landed and dissected that fish. A matter of crossed and entangled lines, as it were. This is where things get complicated for the neoliberal enemies of Trump’s White nationalist base and ‘Never Trump’ Republicans alike.
When the neoliberal and then Obama CIA Director John Brennan initiated this particular false-flag aspect (Fusion GPS) of ‘the Russians did it’ (‘did it’ being every evil plot one can conjure from the Western intelligence agencies overactive imaginations) information operations, the neoliberals and ‘Never Trump’ Republicans had been aligned in their determination Hillary would become POTUS. With Hillary elected, the ‘Steele Dossier’ would be buried and forgotten, reduced to little more than an unexplored conspiratorial footnote in some progressive historian’s academic paper. But it didn’t work out like that, via the ‘electoral college’ constitutional loophole, Trump had been elected against every expectation. With Trump having become POTUS, the dossier could not be given a graceful early retirement, and it was loyal foot-soldiers for the ‘Never Trump’ Republicans at DoJ were forced into alliance with the neoliberal anti-Trump partisans but with a caveat; there was NOTHING substantive whatsoever in ‘the Russians did it’ portfolio at Department of Justice, including the so-called ‘Steele Dossier’ but they would have to take it forward nevertheless. Hence enters the picture the Department of Justice’ longtime CIA asset and ‘Never Trump’ Republican favorite Robert Mueller.
Mueller’s résumé? As a DoJ attorney, Mueller oversaw the USA end of the CIA’s frame-up of Libya for the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing at Lockerbie, including providing a (FBI employed) fraudulent expert witness, Thomas Thurman. It was Mueller practiced damage control for the CIA by sandbagging and minimalizing the investigation into the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) where Iran-Contra international arms and narcotics trafficking had been laundered. He covered up for whatever it is had actually gone down on 9/11. Then, Mueller faithfully stood up and swore Saddam possessed weapons of mass destruction. Mueller was key (sat on his hands) when the murders of two DoJ attorneys (likely by moonlighting CIA operatives), Shannon Ross and Thelma Colbert, had followed a multi-billion medicare fraud trail tied to Alberto Gonzales and Jeb Bush (the quashed Novation case.) Finally, Mueller shielded a high ranking CIA operative doubling as a serial contract killer, Enrique Prado, from prosecution (protection that had continued under James Comey and now Prado appears to be protected by Christopher Wray.) And that’s only what we know because it has made it into the public domain (where it isn’t touched by mainstream media.) Meanwhile, Trump had appointed Mike Pence’s fellow Doug Coe cult member Jeff Sessions to post of Attorney General, where he has to (for quite some time) have known there is no case for Russian collusion against Trump but Sessions has sat on his hands and allowed ‘the Russians did it’ collusion lynching to go on and this is where Trump’s long time habit of criminal associations has caught up with him: Mueller has flipped Trump’s former personal attorney, Michael Cohen* and will use him to spring a trap that had been engineered by Hillary aligned intelligence pros during the 2016 election cycle, first the ‘Never Trump’ line from CNN:
“Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney, claims that then-candidate Trump knew in advance about the June 2016 meeting in Trump Tower in which Russians were expected to offer his campaign dirt on Hillary Clinton, sources with knowledge tell CNN. Cohen is willing to make that assertion to special counsel Robert Mueller, the sources said”
Then, we have at investors.com, not exactly known as a conspiracy website…
“It’s beginning to look as if claims of monstrous collusion between Russian officials and U.S. political operatives were true. But it wasn’t Donald Trump who was guilty of Russian collusion. It was Hillary Clinton and U.S. intelligence officials who worked with Russians and others to entrap Trump.
“That’s the stunning conclusion of a RealClear Investigations report by Lee Smith, who looked in-depth at the controversial June 2016 Trump Tower meeting between officials of then-candidate Donald Trump’s campaign staff and a Russian lawyer known to have ties with high-level officials in Vladimir Putin’s government
“The media have spun a tale of Trump selling his soul to the Russians for campaign dirt to use against Hillary, beginning with the now-infamous Trump Tower meeting.
“But “a growing body of evidence … indicates that the meeting may have been a setup — part of a broad effort to tarnish the Trump campaign involving Hillary Clinton operatives employed by Kremlin-linked figures and Department of Justice officials,” wrote Smith”
This immediate preceding is likely close to true but I would suspect strongly the ‘Kremlin linked figures’ were set up by Brennan’s CIA as bait and had no idea of the actual purpose of the meeting. And there you have it, DoJ foot soldiers loyal to ‘Never Trump’ Republicans in a race against the Steele Dossier falling apart, keep the farce going long enough to dust off a John Brennan era neoliberal CIA sting operation and bring ‘trumped up’ Russia collusion allegations against a sitting president who is clearly out of his league, in a plot to capture the White House for Mike Pence and his generals.
Other than a suckered Trump sanctioning the Russians over the Skripal poisoning, a real cynical howler, the joke in all of this is the sheer number of judas personalities Trump has appointed at the recommendation of the judas personalities surrounding him… Jeff Sessions and Rod Rosenstein being right at the top or, a case of ‘et tu Brute’ compounded, as it were –
*28 August note: Cohen’s lawyer has now reversed himself on this, apparently something has happened makes it too dangerous for Cohen to perjure himself to make Mueller’s case. 21 September update: Paul Manafort appears to have replaced Cohen as Mueller’s stool-pigeon who’ll provide any testimony demanded by the special counsel, to have a chance at not paying for crimes unrelated to the ‘Russians did it’ frame-up of Trump.

I didn’t care to spend a lot of time on this but you also appear to give up your right to sue (including class action waiver, indicating real worry about the legality) and accept ‘arbitration’ if, for instance, some ‘oath’ employee(s) were to, let’s say, steal your girlfriend’s nude photos and hand them over to some ‘dark web’ virtual masturbation chat room populated with gang rapists (or whatever.) Oh, and then there’s the ever-present government interest in accessing anyone’s mail…

The Balkans attracts spies like poop attracts flies:
Facile Haspel‘s torture memos released, now it is confirmed, the USA’s CIA is run by a documented war criminal. The joke line in the story?
“Blanton says the release of the Haspel cables “shows the power of the Freedom of Information Act to bring accountability even to the highest levels of the CIA””
On ‘the Russians did it’ (but actually the Israelis did it)’ front, Julian Assange is deservedly rotting in what amounts to (at this point) Ecuadorian solitary confinement. The incredible irony goes like this: The USA’s intelligence information operations claim Assange was a conduit for Russian hackers release of the DNC mails, immensely damaging Hillary’s chances (however deservedly so.) Recalling former CIA clandestine services officer Robert Steele stating “Assange has MOSSAD connections”, who actually benefited from Trump becoming president? Clearly the Israelis. No one else had been willing to move the USA embassy to Jerusalem on top of tearing up the Iran agreement so despised by Netanyahu. Meanwhile, when otherwise astute observers like Vanessa Beeley, Caitlin Johnstone and Raúl Ilargi Meijer cry over Assange’s confinement, I just scratch my head in wonder; how is it these people miss Wikileaks had been key in cooperating with the intelligence services that had set the so-called “Arab Spring” in motion, resulting in (among other things) the Syrian civil war? Oops. Nevertheless, this following is worth a read, even if it’s only about half right, at least the article manages to competently poke holes in ‘the Russians did it’ propaganda, even if the author can’t wrap his head around it’s more than likely (almost certainly) it was the Israel’s MOSSAD actually stole the DNC mails with a thumb drive via (the promptly assassinated) Seth Rich:
Speaking of Russians and Israelis, how about Russia saving Israel from Bibi Netanyahu (who needs saved from himself.) Assessment by Ft Russ News Joaquin Flores is quite insightful and interesting:
Meanwhile, my readers of Jewish persuasion might find the photo of a Bibi Netanyahu government minister posing with a top Ukrainian Azov Battalion Nazi interesting…
…relevant to Ron Unz at American Pravda authoring an essay on the history of Zionist cooperation with Nazis, which provides a larger context to the photo:
“The Problem With Alex Jones” is the subject of an interesting take published at zerohedge and poses the question of why Jones had been allowed to live, let alone go on with his rants to now (they do raise the possibility Jones could be a useful idiot)…
…but my take has been for a long time it’s the useful idiot scenario, Jones does a great job of discrediting a lot of valid stories and facts by associating with David Icke and lizard DNA, example given, that’s where the moron had long served the shadow government’s interest. When Alex Jones takes a story and runs with it, it’s like the story has been consigned to nutjobville, not much worry many people looking for alternative to mainstream will buy in what’s presented at the ranting lunatic’s fringe media, not to mention the obvious: why didn’t Jones go after Mueller with Mueller’s sordid history of corruption? That’d have maybe gotten him killed…
The Plot to Seize the White House. Think it hadn’t been attempted already? By now, people should understand, with time, subterfuge and subsequent attempt, it has actually happened, perhaps subject of my next (end of Summer) post.

“It is impossible to calculate the moral mischief, if I may so express it, that mental lying has produced in society. When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind, as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe, he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime” –Thomas Paine

Throughout the short history of ronaldthomaswest.com, there has been a concern on my part that I would not be judged kindly. Allow me to explain. It was never my intent to take the road in life this website reflects. It covers subject matter I’d never any predisposition to delve into, a world of grotesque lies and contorted pseudo realities so profane, one should as a matter of fact presume to have a dirtied soul as matter of consequence. However I would suppose, but not with superior confidence, there might be someone or two great personalities could penetrate the manifold layers of deceit and never be dirtied, that is not me. I don’t enjoy the dirt and yet discover a visceral laugh, time to time, in myself that seems evil, reveling in injuring evil. I should suppose there is a special place in Hell for persons who become addicted to the geopolitical contest to point of living this aspect for entertainment sake. Gratefully, I can also say this is not me. Even at my most profane, what I attempt to do, and hopefully I am not deceiving myself, is reflect what I see, and what the reader should see is a reflection which does not necessarily implicate myself, but is a filtered refraction that works to remove the mirage and gain better insights to the nature and structures of the evil we are confronted with.
But even when working to make people laugh with my satire, a means to break the grip of, and dis-empower that evil over our lives, one should never lose sight of the fact there is an ugliness taken over our world that is unprecedented in history; with the power to cross nearly every frontier unchecked. Wicked gossip, for all of the problems it had created throughout human history, were never so profane and evil as the intelligence operations seen in today’s world, especially the information operations in our western world or, one could say empire mass media of the digital age.
Not being of the western civilization, culturally speaking, one might suppose I could sit back and enjoy watching Christendom tearing itself apart like a pack of dogs turned on itself. But when was it ever different to this? Europe has been attacking itself throughout modern history, and even before that. Western civilization, to the times preceding Homer, are a story of the sword. Now, in the era of nuclear weapons, this historical, and one could consequently argue, innate aggression, signals a collective suicide is inevitable. How is it this culture can, in the meanwhile, view itself as humanitarian and altruistic, is beyond the pale of sane reason, it is a peculiar insanity in and of itself.
But it is the culture, especially today’s Christian culture sprung from Europe, it is not some biological factor, that threatens to end us all in the present moment. Other cultures, particularly those the Christian culture had extirpated, were never pointed to the threat we see today.
In the ‘half-civilized’ European based culture called American, where the jails and asylums of Europe had been emptied, and religious fanatics banished to, all stirred into a hybrid vigor, now a superstitious Slovenian villager, Melania Trump, has scores of pastors and priests trouping through the White House, exorcising the premises and pouring oil on and hopefully blessing ‘the donald’ as that moron flails hopelessly in the custody of generals whose real loyalties are difficult to pin down; in a mishmash comprised of corporate board future promise related to wealth, present self-important strut-mincing for geopolitical posturing sake, and not least, rabid fundamentalism so extreme as to be labeled Christian Taliban, a point of ‘faith’ they share with commander-in-chief-in-waiting Mike Pence, an American Himmler if ever there were such a creature determined to be unleashed upon us by the fates.
This preceding is nuclear armed cocktail creating its own ‘raison d’ être.’
Relevant to this, for over a year this blog has made the case there was never a ‘Russian DNC hack’ that was actually an insider leak by the assassinated Seth Rich, and now a former admiral has published at the Washington Times what amounts to identical argument made here; the entire ‘Russians did it’ business is being sustained with corrupt process by criminals at the FBI and above. Interestingly, the admiral suggests Mike Pence’s fraternal brother, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, is not up to the job when he concludes:
“The Trump administration must take charge and get a competent attorney general to pursue these crimes”
He’s right. But what he may not realize is, the traitors surrounding Trump include (but are not limited to) John Kelly, ‘Mad Dog’ Mattis, H.R. McMaster, that is the generals, not only Mike Pence and Jeff Sessions, Jeff Sessions being the Attorney General who has NOT called out ‘the Russians did it’ caper for what it is, a CIA initiated information operation spurring appointment of Special Counsel to take down Trump.
None of these preceding are standing in the way of Trump being taken down by corrupt process, lies as it were, it was John Kelley denied Trump opportunity to meet with Dana Rohrabacher and break the facts of the DNC leak into the open. Why would a recently retired Marine Corps general, who happens to be White House Chief of Staff, sabotage reporting of fact to the President of the United States, facts that should defuse tensions with Russia by removing false accusations, but instead shields criminal culpability engineering aggression? They’re playing for time, to give Robert Mueller opportunity to bring charges altogether unrelated to the purported Russia caper, a failed CIA endeavor, instead holding out for indicting Trump on his historic mafia ties, going back to the days of Roy Cohn. The dirt is there. But Trump is a petty criminal by comparison to Department of Justice players in the game at this point merely to save their own asses. The game has been flipped on the unwitting CIA assets at DoJ who are in turn being gamed by the generals.
Mike Pence is the generals’ deep state player of choice and Pentagon insurance policy from the time of Trump’s nomination and choice of running mate. In the internecine war between the neoliberal deep state players embedded at CIA versus the Pentagon, vying for the upper hand at the White House, it is the generals who’re winning (to now.)
Vladimir ‘The Innocent’ (in this circumstance) had recently laid out a very reasonable case for how the USA has, over two decades, positioned itself to militarily confront Russia, broken their promise not to move NATO east, aborted the ABM treaty, used subterfuge, refused cooperation, and more, all pointed to underhandedly seeking dominance over Russia’s area of strategic interests. The result had finally been Russia unmasking new strategic weapons the USA is ill prepared to counter. Having announced the new systems, President Putin stated:
“No, nobody really wanted to talk to us about the core of the problem, and nobody wanted to listen to us. So, listen to us now!”
I fear Mr Putin has over-estimated the rationality of these ‘nobodies.’ It may well be they’re incapable of listening. They have weapons mass of destruction and they’ll lie to themselves concerning any mismatch of capabilities and ultimately decide they have developed sufficient strategy to ‘test’ those weapons in some circumstance other than a game. In other words, the American generals are legitimately insane. If you don’t think so, likely you’re suffering a form of denial that is insanity too.
By definition, people who lie to themselves as a matter of habit, should be considered mentally unbalanced. It follows, when your institutions and leadership pervasively lie to the public (because they are organically incapable of being honest with themselves) and actually believe this lying is a ‘good thing’, after all, these people do go to church, you have a ‘larger than life’ problem, Jesus saying ‘everything that is concealed will be revealed’ notwithstanding.
Meanwhile, our media having run with these lies, despite ample evidence there’s not an honest man in the lot of these cowards who would rule us, points to outcome beyond the comprehension of a public incapable of absorbing facts they have little access to. When this charade falls apart, as it must, it may be well too late for any resolution within the bounds of reason. By then, the criminal element will have upped the ante to outright actionable insanity, because leopards don’t shed their spots and criminals don’t voluntarily surrender their business models. They’ll take whatever action they think necessary to avoid going to jail and if that means a serious enough war justifying suspending civil liberties and declaring martial law at home, that is precisely the direction things will take, short of some courageous statesman, at the state level, leveling with the people, and getting media to go along. What are the chances of this civil salvation? Slim to none and growing more remote everyday.
Mr. Speaker Biggist Dickkus, Mr. Vice-President Himmler, Members of Mar-a-Lego, first village girl of the United States, and my fellow citizens of empire; less than one year has passed since I first ejaculated at this podium, in this gauche chamber, to speak on behalf of our corporate rulers and to address their concerns, their hopes and their greed. That night, our new Administration had already taken very swift action. A new tide of optimism was already sweeping across America’s boardrooms.
Each day since, we have gone forward with a clear vision of a sophisticated lie: to make America great again for all White people.
Over the last year, we have fucked up immeasurably. We have turned our backs and bent over for the buggery we expected and opened our mouths for cocks we could never have imagined. Our generals have reveled in the pain of our hemorrhoids. We have endured inconceivably pornographic special counsel. Through it all, we have seen the torments of America’s soul and the crooked Hillary in empire’s kyphosis.
Each test has forged new American prostitutes to remind us who we are and show us what we can be. We openly left to rot the drowned minority neighborhoods of Houston.
We saw our deep state initiate a hail of gunfire on the Las Vegas strip, building rationale for removing American’s guns. We heard the tall tales of American media, like Counterfeit News Network, we cannot contain.
We saw helicopters on the scene in Houston during the Hurricane Harvey to save the lives of White people. To everyone still recovering in Texas, Florida, Louisiana, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands, everywhere, FEMA cannot afford you and will fuck you over with no or shoddy assistance.
Some trials over the past year touched this chamber very personally. With us tonight is one of the most vacant minds ever to serve in this House, a guy who took a bullet in the head and was right back to work, the legend from Louisiana, Congressman Fearless Fosdick.
I think the anti-gun lobby would have preferred you dead, Mr Fosdick.
Over the last year, the world has seen what we always knew: that no people on Earth are safe from Americans. If there is a mountain, we bomb it. If there’s a frontier, we violate it. If there’s resistance, we smash it. Except that hasn’t worked, yet, in Syria. But if there’s another opportunity, we’ll seize it.
So let’s begin tonight by recognizing that our empire is strong because my allied military-industrial corporations are greedy. And working together with the institutions of government we are eviscerating America.
Since the election, we have created 2.4 million mostly marginal, low paying jobs, including 200,000 new jobs in manufacturing alone. Tremendous number. Never mind less than 10% are better than marginal employment. After years and years of wage stagnation, we are finally seeing rising stagnation. Unemployment claims have hit a 45-year low because 100 million unemployed Americans have exhausted their eligibility. And something I’m very proud of, African-American unemployment stands at the lowest rate ever recorded, because they’ve mostly altogether given up and exited the system. And Hispanic-American unemployment has also reached the lowest levels in history, because we harass them mercilessly in case they might be illegals, ensuring they no longer register in the system. Abra-ka-dabra!
Small-business confidence is at an all-time high, thanks to legal marijuana sales. The stock market has smashed one record after another, gaining $8 trillion and more in bubble-mirage in just this short period of time. The great news for the illusion of Make America Great Again, 401K, retirement, pension, and college savings Ponzi schemes have gone through the roof.
And just as I promised the American people from this podium 11 months ago, we enacted the biggest tax cuts and reforms in empire corporate history. Our massive tax cuts provide tremendous relief for Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Monsanto and Mar-a-Lego. To lower tax rates for poor Americans, we nearly doubled the pitifully small standard deduction for everyone. Now the first $24,000 earned by a married couple is completely tax-free. We also doubled the child tax credit. A typical family of four making $75,000 will see their tax bill reduced by $2,000, slashing their tax bill by half. Of course that doesn’t take into account my corporate tax relief scheme forcing cuts in federal revenue sharing, pushing up state and local taxes and means nothing to the 100 million Americans who’ve altogether given up and are no longer looking for non-existent work. But the system didn’t fail you, now you can legally grow weed! In a few western blue states. Just don’t tell Jeff Sessions.
In April, this will be the last time you will ever file under the old and very broken system, because after I’ve provoked Kim Jong Un to a point he nukes us, none of this will matter.
We repealed the core of the disastrous Obamacare. The individual mandate is now gone. And gone with it is the idea the poorest need any sort of health care at all. We don’t need a better fix than this. That’s economizing!
We slashed the business tax rate from 35 per cent all the way down to 21 per cent, so American companies can compete and win against anyone else anywhere in the world, but especially at home, against average American citizens when ripping them off. These changes alone are estimated to increase the average of individual CEO bonus income and severance packages by more than $4 million. A lot of money.
Small businesses have also received a massive tax cut and can now deduct 20 per cent of their business income. Here tonight are Steve Stab and Sandy Doppelgänger of Stab Manufacturing. They’ll have their best skate in their 20-year business history. Because of tax reform, and consequent federal revenue sharing cuts, their community will not be able to buy a new fire engine. Good feeling.
One of Stab’s employees, Rory Bambam, is also with us tonight. Rory is an all-American worker. He supported himself through high school, lost his everything when the 2008 bubble burst, and was later hired by Stab, where he trained to become a welder. Like many hardworking Americans, Rory plans to invest my tax cut raise into his new home and his two daughters’ education. Rory, please stand. When my bubble bursts, and Rory loses everything again, the Secret Service will put him on some watch list.
Since we passed the new corporate enrichment scheme, roughly 3,000 communities have already gotten tax cut federal revenue sharing shaft-jobs, I can’t tell how you many thousands of ruined civic careers will result. And it’s getting more every month, every week. Apple has just announced it plans to repatriate a small fraction of its off-shore multiple hundreds of billions for purposes of PR token tax-amnesty.
And just a little while ago, Exxon-Mobil announced a $50 billion investment in the United States. Just a little while ago. Well, we chased them out of Russia with sanctions, so they’re bringing their criminal act home.
This, in fact, is our new empire moment. There has never been a better time to start dreading the coming American scream.
So to every citizen watching at home tonight, no matter where you’ve been or where you’ve come from, this is your time. If you work hard, if you believe in yourself, if you believe in empire, then you’ll scream the loudest, when this all falls apart.
Tonight, I want to talk about what kind of future we are going to have and what kind of a nation we are going to be. All of us, together, as one team, one people, and one empire family can screw anything. We all share the same homeland, the same empire, the same destiny, and the same great American flag now hated around the world. Karma is gonna be a bitch.
World-wide, we are riding Manifest Destiny 2.0. In America, we know that faith in government and bureaucracy, are the center of deep state life. The motto is “in God we trust.” And we celebrate the godliness in our police brutality, the Christian Taliban running our military, and we screw our veterans with horrible and even fraudulent health care as we make myths of them as heroes who deserve our total and unwavering support.
Tonight we politically prostitute little Twerpton Barks, a 12-year-old boy from MGM Studios, California, who noticed that veterans’ graves were not marked with flags on Veterans Day. He decided all by himself to change that and started a movement that has now placed 40,000 flags at the graves of our great heroes. Twerpton, a job well done. Just don’t forget these heroes were cut down, sacrificed for empire, in the prime of their lives, whether dead or, health or mentalities destroyed, many of them died homeless, but flags of empire correct all of that!
Propagandized young patriots like Twerpton teach all of us about citizens of empire’s civic duty to Exxon-Mobil. And I met Twerpton a little while ago, and he is something very special, that I can tell you. Great future. Thank you very much for all you’ve done for oil stocks, Twerpton. Thank you very much.
Twerpton’s reverence for White privilege reminds us why we salute our flag, why we put our hands on our hearts for the unconstitutional Pledge of Allegiance, and why we proudly stand for our bloody national anthem.
Americans love their empire. And they deserve a government that shows them the same love and loyalty in return. They’ll never get it. Get it? They’ll never get it! [laughs]
Working with the Senate, we are appointing judges who will interpret the Constitution as written, that lie will never be too old. We’ll find another great legal fraud for a new Supreme Court justice and appoint more “color of law” enacting circuit court judges than any new administration in the history of our country.
We are totally undermining our Second Amendment with false flag mass shootings, building on rationale to take the peoples guns away and have taken historic actions to enhance religious bigotry, especially in our armed forces. Facism, ho! Fascism, that’s my ho, yuk, yuk, yuk. Get it? How ya doing Stormy? Please stand up, let’s all give her a testosterone injection! Grab her by the pussy! Stormy gives it up for a living! Gang bang!
Last year, Congress also passed, and I signed, the landmark V.A. Pretense at Accountability Act. Since its passage, my administration has already removed more than 1,500 V.A. employees whose accent was so thick, no one could understand their English! That’s change you can count on!
And I will not stop until the illusion of our veterans are properly taken care of is convincing, which has been my phony promise to them from the very beginning of this great journey. All Americans deserve the illusion of accountability and respect for the crimes of empire, and that’s what we are giving to our wonderful heroes, our veterans. Thank you.
So tonight, I call on Congress to empower every cabinet secretary with the authority to reward good workers and to remove federal employees who fail to embrace fundamentalist Christianity and its malignant form of Zionism, it’s the least we can do for my son-in-law Jared and his MOSSAD handlers.
In our drive to make Washington unaccountable, we deregulated in our first year more than any administration in the history of our country. We have upped the war on clean energy, and we have ended the war on filthy coal. We are now very proudly an exporter of fracked gas to the world. Never mind black lung and poisoned water tables!
In Detroit, I crippled America’s fuel efficiency standards and emissions restrictions, so that we can get Motor City revving its engines again. Varoom! [fist pump]
MANY car companies [at least two or three] are now building and expanding plants in the United States, we’ll assemble these new polluting gas guzzlers with outsourced parts and labor from countries practically employing slave labor. We can make this look American made! Chrysler is moving a major plant from Mexico to Michigan and because of advanced robotics they’ll find paid laborers nearly unnecessary! Employing the same ‘labor free’ principles, Toyota and Mazda are opening up a plant in Alabama, a big one. And we’ve never seen this. The useless eaters chickens are coming home to roost!
Very soon, auto plants and other plants will be opening up all over our country with my tax-free blessing and we’ll bleed what’s left of the middle class taxpayer to death, making them service the interest on our ballooning national debt. This is all news Americans are totally accustomed to hearing. For many years, companies were only leaving us. But now there is a pretense of them roaring back, they’re coming back. They want to be where the exploitation is. They want to be in the rapidly approaching third world United States of America. That’s where they want to be.
Exciting progress is happening every single day. To speed access to breakthrough profits via public demand for generic drugs, last year the FDA approved more untested and unproven to be safe new and generic drugs and medical devices than ever before in our country’s history. That’s progress!
We also believe that patients with terminal conditions and terminal illness should have access to experimental treatment that could immediately end their lives, saving Medicare the cost of hospice.
People who are terminally ill should not have to helplessly run from country to country to seek a cure. I want them to spend on dying right here at home. It’s time for Congress to give these gullible Americans the right to die anxious and confused about what we will NOT be providing them.
One of my greatest priorities is to reduce the price of opioid prescription drugs. In many other countries, these drugs are far less available than in the United States. And it’s very, very unwise. That is why I have directed my administration to make fixing the injustice of high opium related drug prices one of my top priorities for the year. And prices will come down substantially and already epic addiction rates will soar. Watch.
Empire has also finally turned the page on decades of not-quite-greedy-enough trade deals that sacrificed our prosperity and shipped away our companies, our jobs, and off-shored my wealth. Our nation has lost its wealth (but not my friends), and we’re further going to fuck you over so fast. The era of economic murder is totally in overdrive. From now on, we expect trading relationships to be certain America is competitive within a third world standard, very important, this reciprocity.
We will work to fix bad trade deals and make them worse. And they’ll be nasty, totally unfair to the common man but benefit your overseers. We will protect empire workers from equity and American intellectual property will be stolen through the impossible enforcement of our trade rules. As we gut our remaining, well paying industries, it is also time to balloon our already unsustainable debt with impossibly expensive rebuilding of our crumbling infrastructure. No matter in future no one can afford to use it!
America was a nation of builders. We built the Empire in just one century. Isn’t it a disgrace that it can now take 17 years and counting just to get at a minor nation’s resources for ripping off? I am asking both parties to come together to give us permission to use nukes on the Taliban.
Tonight I’m calling on Congress to produce a bill that adds at least $1.5 trillion to the debt balloon for new infrastructure investment that our country will never be able to afford to use in future. Every federal dollar should be leveraged by partnering with state and local governments and, where appropriate, tapping into private sector bankruptcy law to permanently lock in the infrastructure deficit. And we will bleed you to death with state and local taxes to do it. Kiss that federal tax dividend goodbye!
Any bill must also streamline the permitting and approval process, getting it down to no more than two years, and perhaps even one, assessing impact on your communities’ environment be damned!
Together, we can reclaim our Manifest Destiny heritage. We will build gleaming new Disney World fantasy themed distractions all across our land. And we will do it with empire heart, empire hands, and above all, deliberately inculcated American stupidity!
We want every American to know the dependent slavery of a hard day’s underpaid work. We want every child to be hungry in their home at night. And we want every citizen to be hopeless in this land that we all have screwed over so much. We can force our citizens from welfare to underpaid work, from dependence to real slavery, and from poverty to poverty with a price. As tax cuts gut civic institutions, let’s invest in workforce under-development and let’s invest in substandard jobs training, building element of ignorance which fascism craves so desperately.
Let’s open substandard vocational schools so our failed public schools’ illiterate graduates can fake a craft and never know their full potential.
As America regains its grandiose self-delusions, opportunity must be extended to deceiving all citizens. That is why this year we will embark on reforming our for-profit prisons to make room for a new generation of inmates replacing those who have finally lost their chance at life.
Struggling communities, especially immigrant communities, will also be targeted by immigration policies that focus on the best interests of White empire workers and White empire families. That’s why I pardoned Joe Arpaio.
For decades, prohibition has encouraged drugs and gangs to pour into our most vulnerable communities. This is by-product of inflated price and profit of the CIA’s black-budget international narcotics and arms trafficking. Planeloads of narcotics into the USA, same planes, weapons to empire initiated conflicts out of the USA. That’s efficiency! We shed crocodile tears over tragedy of the millions of useless eaters impacted lives. Take a bow, Dr Kissinger! You’re back!
Here tonight are two fathers and two mothers: Slow-poke Rodriguez, Freddy Cuervo, Elizabeth El Dorado, and Roberta Micky Mouse. Their two teenage daughters — Unluckina and Nomiracle — were close friends on Long Island.
But in September 2016, on the eve of Nomiracle’s 16th birthday, such a happy time it should have been, neither of them came home. These two precious girls were brutally murdered while walking together in their hometown. Six members of the savage MS-13 gang have been charged with Unluckina and Nomiracle’s murders. MS 13 was born in Los Angeles in the 1980s, a direct result of our empire’s CIA interventions in Honduras and El Salvador and that resultant brutality imported to our Hispanic community. Don’t let Jeff Sessions lies get you down! We know the source!
Slowpoke, Elizabeth, Freddy, and Roberta, tonight, everyone in this chamber is praying for you. Nothing fails like a hypocrites prayer! Please stand. Thank you very much and that’s practically all you’ll get other than 320 million propagandized hearts breaking for you. We love you (but not really.) Thank you. While, as sociopaths, we cannot know the depths of your kind of sorrow, we can lie and say we’ll make sure that other families never have to endure this kind of pain.
Tonight, I am calling on Congress to amend and conceal the deadly loopholes that have allowed MS-13, and other criminal gangs, to be invited into our country. We have proposed new legislation that will sanitize our immigration laws, while upping our support our ICE and Border Patrol agents — these are great people, these are great, great police state people that work so hard in the midst of such danger — so we can cast blame elsewhere when this happens again.
The United States is a compassionate nation. We are proud that we do more than any other country anywhere in the world to help the needy, the struggling, and the underprivileged all over the world, used to conceal coming CIA instigated color revolutions, and leave our own homeless to freeze and die in the streets. But as president of the United States, my highest loyalty, my greatest compassion, my constant concern is for the image of empire’s children, empire’s struggling workers, and empire’s forgotten communities. I want the world to believe our youth grow up to achieve great things. I want a perception of our poor to have their chance to rise, never mind the facts.
So tonight, I am extending an open hand to work with members of both parties — Democrats and Republicans — to protect our citizens of every background, color, religion, and creed, but not really, that’s just talk, and actually will leave our soldiers to have fundamentalist Christianity shoved down their throats by our own version of the Taliban, those surrounding me in the White House and controlling the Pentagon.
My duty, and the sacred duty of every elected official in this chamber, is to defend empire, to protect empire safety, empire families, empire communities, and their right to the empire dream. Because citizens of empire are the biggest, most aggressive and grandiose dreamers.
Here tonight is one leader in the effort to defend our country, Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent Cosmo ‘privileged white hispanic’ Martinez. He goes by DJ. And CJ. He said call me either one. So we’ll call you CJ for cock job. Good on you, for your ethnic self-hatred.
Served 15 years in our fundamentalist Christian Air Force before becoming an ICE agent and spending the last 15 years fighting gang violence and getting dangerous criminals off of our streets. Tough job. At one point, MS-13 leaders ordered CJ’s murder, and they wanted it to happen quickly. But he did not cave to threats or to fear. Last May, he commanded an operation to track down gang members on Long Island. His team has arrested nearly 400, including more than 220 MS-13 gang members. Ok, so CJ actually believes in what he’s doing but what I like is, CJ dared not risk his job and refuse my prostituting his ethnicity for my State of the Empire speech.
And I have to tell you what the Border Patrol and ICE have done. We have sent thousands and thousands and thousands of MS-13 horrible people out of this country to wreak havoc in Honduras and El Salvador. So I just want to congratulate you, CJ. You’re a brave cock job. Thank you very much.
And I asked CJ, what’s the secret? He said, “We’re just higher class of violent male prostitutes than they are.” And I like that answer.
Now let’s get Congress to send you — and all of the people in this great chamber have to do it, we have no choice — CJ, we’re going to send you reinforcements and we’re going to send them to you quickly. It’s what you need. More police is a stronger police state. Better all around for our gated White communities and the approaching apartheid US of A!
Over the next few weeks, the House and Senate will be voting on an immigration reform package. In recent months, my administration has met extensively with both Democrats and Republicans to craft a bipartisan approach to White preservation. Based on these discussions, we presented Congress with a detailed proposal that should be supported by both parties as a fair compromise, one where nobody gets everything they want, but where our country gets the White preservation it needs and must have.
Here are the four pillars of our plan. The first pillar of our framework generously offers a path to citizenship for 1.8 million illegal immigrants who were brought here by their parents at a young age. That covers almost three times more people than the previous administration covered. Under our plan, those who meet education and work requirements, and show good moral character, will be able to become full citizens of the United States over a 12-year period. Twelve years allows for profiling, keeping White Hispanics and farming the rest through our for-profit prison scheme, rendering them ineligible.
The second pillar fully builds the wall based on the Israeli model. That means building a great wall on the southern border, and it means hiring more heroes like CJ to keep our communities safe. Crucially, our plan closes the cultural loopholes allowing for a contiguous Mexican culture in our southwest, and it finally provides opportunity to forcefully Anglicize everyone north of the border.
The third pillar kills that stupid motto on our Statue of Liberty, instead creating a White-people-based immigration system, one that admits Nordic people who, example given, are lesser skilled in Norway, who want to leave there, who will receive unfair advantage here, and will revitalize Whiteness in our society.
The fourth and final pillar shafts the extended family by ending chain migration. Under the current, ethical and humane system, a single immigrant can bring in his parents, in-laws, orphaned niece or cousin and honor a sense of family continuity. Under our plan, we focus on the immediate family by limiting sponsorships to spouses and minor children, culturally isolating them. Immigrant kids don’t need English-illiterate grandparents!
This vital reform is necessary, not just for our economy, to get America’s White trailer trash off their lazy asses and to work in underpaid jobs, but for our better, White gated communities sense of security and for the future of White America. In recent weeks, two terrorist attacks in New York were made possible by the visa lottery and chain migration, never mind this was model used by CIA to mentor and reward terrorists with USA residence for decades. In the age of terrorism, these programs present risks we can just no longer afford being visible. It’s time to reform … these outdated immigration rules and finally bring our immigration system into the 21st century’s White supremacy.
These four pillars represent an up-your-ass compromise and one that will create a strengthened, modern, color-of-law apartheid system. For over 30 years, Washington has tried and failed to solve this problem. This Congress can be the one that finally makes apartheid happen.
Most importantly, these four pillars will produce legislation that fulfills my ironclad pledge to sign a bill that puts White America first. So let’s set sanity aside, and finally get the job done.
These reforms will also support our response to the terrible crisis of opioid and drug addiction. Never mind we fund the Taliban in Afghanistan with CIA purchases of raw opium product before has it been refined in our war zone’s secret bases prior to NATO planes importing it, circumventing customs. We have to do something about it. But don’t hold your breath waiting for effective remedy ending this entrenched black-budget corruption. DEA careers depend on it. Not only CIA.
In 2016, we lost 64,000 Americans to drug overdoses, 174 deaths per day, seven per hour. We must get much tougher on small time drug dealers and pushers, allowing for new blood to fill the vacuum, if we are going to succeed in upping the for-profit prison stocks.
My administration is committed to fighting the drug epidemic at the street level only and helping keep our world class criminal network protected at the top through middle management. The struggle will last forever because we will never prosecute the root cause, but as Americans always do, in the end, we will be fatalistic, we will say fuck it, I don’t care.
As we have seen tonight, the most difficult challenges bring out the best in America. We see a vivid expression of this truth in the story of the HoLets family of New Mexico. Bwyan HoLets is 27 years old, an officer with the Albuquerque Police Department, one of the most murderous, death-by-cop departments in all of empire. He’s here tonight with his wife, Chewbacca. Thank you, Bwyan.
Last year, Bwyan was on duty when he saw a pregnant, homeless woman preparing to inject heroin. When Bwyan told her she was going to harm her unborn child, she began to weep. She told him she didn’t know where to turn, but badly wanted a safe home for her baby.
In that moment, Bwyan said he felt God speak to him: “You will do it because you can.” He heard those words. He took out a picture of his wife and their four kids. Then he went home to tell his wife, Chewbacca. In an instant, she agreed to adopt. The HoLets named their new daughter Dope.
Bwyan and Chewbacca, you embody the goodness of our empire. Thank you. Thank you, Bwyan and Chewbacca. The junkie mother was abandoned and died. Well, so what.
As we rebuild empire’s strength and confidence at home, we are also restoring our strength and standing abroad. Around the world, we face rogue regimes standing up to our hegemony, terrorist groups of our own creation, and rivals like China and Russia that challenge our absolute superiority, our narcissism, and our greed. In confronting these horrible dangers, we know that bullying is the surest path to conflict, and unlimited military budget is the surest means to propping up Wall Street.
For this reason, I am asking Congress to end the dangerous defense sequester and fully fund our greater military madness.
As part of our offense, we must modernize and rebuild our nuclear arsenal, because that spends money creating a few tax cut dividend jobs, but also making huge corporate profits, just cross your fingers this aggression will not tempt my insane generals.
Perhaps some day in the future there will be a magical moment when the countries of the world will get together to surrender to us. Unfortunately, we are not there yet, sadly.
Last year, I also pledged that we would work with our allies to extinguish ISIS we’d created with our policies. One year later, I am proud to report that the coalition to defeat ISIS has liberated very close to 100 per cent of the territory just recently held by these killers in Iraq and in Syria and in other locations, as well. But there is much more work to be done. We’ve scattered ISIS across the world like a metastasized cancer and they’re regrouping to fight us in Afghanistan. Goes around, comes around.
Army Staff Sergeant Dustin Wreck is here tonight. Near Raqqa last November, Dustin and his comrade, Chief Petty Officer Benton Tracy, were on a mission to clear buildings that ISIS had rigged with explosive so that civilians could return to that city, hopefully soon and hopefully safely.
Clearing the second floor of a vital hospital, Benton Tracy was severely wounded by an explosion. Immediately, Dustin bounded into the booby-trapped and unbelievably dangerous and unsafe building and found Benton, but in very, very bad shape. He applied pressure to the wound and inserted a tube to reopen an airway. He then performed CPR for 20 straight minutes during the ground transport and maintained artificial respiration through two-and-a-half hours and through emergency surgery.
Benton Tracy would have died if it were not for Dustin’s selfless love for his fellow warrior. Tonight, Benton is recovering in Texas. Raqqa is bombed flat. And Dustin is wearing his new Bronze Star, with a V for Valor. Staff Sergeant Wreck: All of empire salutes you.
Of course, none of this trauma would have been necessary if we’d just stayed home and minded our own business but that’s not how empire does business.
Terrorists who do things like send their wounded to civilian hospitals are evil. When possible, we have no choice but to annihilate them. That’s why we bomb hospitals. When necessary, we must be able to detain and question them. But we must be clear: Terrorists are not merely criminals. They are unlawful enemy combatants. But none of this is true when they are our terrorists, ISIS fighters laundered under new organizational names that we’re supplying more weapons to overthrow Assad.
And when captured overseas, they should be treated like the terrorists they are. In the past, we have foolishly released hundreds of dangerous terrorists, only to meet them again on the battlefield, including the ISIS leader, al-Baghdadi, who we captured, who we tortured in David Petraeus secret program disclosed by the Guardian and BBC Arabic, who we released and then we were all butt-hurt when he hated us. Or his brilliant field marshal trained by our Special Forces in Georgia.
So today, I am keeping another promise. I just signed prior to walking in, an order directing Secretary Mad Dog — who is doing a great job, thank you … to re-examine our military detention policy and to keep open the detention facilities in Guantanamo Bay, so we can keep classified the source of their terror skills which can otherwise be traced back to us.
I am asking Congress to ensure that in the fight against ISIS and Al Qaida we continue to have all necessary power to detain terrorists, wherever we chase them down, wherever we find them. And in many cases, for them it will now be Guantanamo Bay, to keep our long time CIA and Pentagon liaisons with them secret.
At the same time, as of a few months ago, our warriors in Afghanistan have new rules of engagement. Along with their heroic Afghan partners, our military is no longer undermined by artificial timelines required to do proper intelligence, and we no longer make a pretense of ascertaining our enemies identities. So, we still blow up entire families, right or wrong, more often wrong.
Last month, I also took an action endorsed unanimously by the U.S. Senate just months before. I recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Shortly afterwards, dozens of countries voted in the United Nations General Assembly against empire’s sovereign right to put our embassy to Israel, uninvited, into occupied Palestine. In 2016, American taxpayers generously sent those same countries more than $20 billion in aid. That is why tonight I am asking Congress to pass legislation to help ensure empire colonial assistance dollars only serve empire interests and only go to friends of empire, not to our increasingly rebellious colonies.
As we fuck up our friendships all around the world, we are also restoring clarity about our adversaries. When the people of Iran rose up against the crimes of their corrupt dictatorship, I did not stay silent. America stands with the people of Iran in their courageous struggle for freedom. My saying that is like giving a blow-job to the dead Shah, who we propped up as a murderous dictator. Well, my overdone make-up makes me look like a corpse too! Necrophilia gang bang! C’mon Congress, let’s ‘get it up’ for this!
I am asking Congress to address the fundamental flaws in the terrible Iran nuclear deal. Let’s provoke Iran back into bomb development to justify modernizing our necrotic nuclear arsenal. My administration has also imposed tough sanctions on the communist and socialist dictatorships in Cuba and Venezuela. Red scare! Remember that? How dare they not suck Sam’s cock!
But no regime has oppressed its own citizens more totally or brutally than the cruel dictatorship in North Korea. North Korea’s reckless pursuit of nuclear missiles could very soon threaten our homeland. We simply pretend they don’t already. We are waging a campaign of maximum pressure to prevent what has happened already from ever happening. We’re too stupid to grasp this war games agression has opposite of intended effect. And we back-stabbed Gaddafi, so there’s no way Kim Jong Un could trust us to keep any agreements. That’s precedent pointing towards getting us nuked!
Past experience hasn’t yet taught us decades pushing ongoing war games in North Korea’s face invites paranoid aggression and provocation. I will not repeat the mistakes of past administrations that got us into this very dangerous position. I’ll let my generals off the leash and totally fuck it up!
We need only look at the depraved character of the North Korean regime to understand the nature of the nuclear threat it already poses to empire and to our empire allies. Never mind our own historic atrocities!
Grotto Briarpatch was a hardworking student at the University of Virginia. And a naive student, he was. On his way to study abroad in Asia, Grotto joined a tour to North Korea. At its conclusion, this fool was arrested and charged with crimes against the state. An American goes to North Korea, well, duh. It’s not exactly a case of Mr Smith Goes to Washington.
After a typical North Korean trial, the dictatorship sentenced Grotto to 15 years of hard labor, before returning him to America last June, with inexplicable injury and on the verge of death. He died just days after his return. Grotto died of rank stupidity, according to the coroner’s report.
Grotto’s wonderful parents, Dred and Bimby Briarpatch, are here with us tonight, along with Grotto’s brother and sister, Hansel and Gretal. Please. Incredible people. You are powerful witnesses to a menace that threatens our world, that is our own stupidity, and you truly inspire us all. Thank you very much. Thank you. Tonight we pledge to honor Grotto’s memory with total empire resolve. Thank you. Oh, what Forrest Gump has inspired, our great ode to idiocy. Let’s unabashedly celebrate empire’s absolute idiots as the real heroes!
Finally … we are joined by one more witness to the ominous nature of this regime. His name is Mr. Pee Sings-ho.
In 1996, Sings-ho was a starving boy in North Korea. One day, he tried to steal coal from a railroad car to barter for a few scraps of food, which were very hard to get. In the process, he passed out on the train tracks, exhausted from hunger. Or maybe he was just drunk. He woke up as a train ran over his limbs. He then endured multiple amputations without anything to dull the pain or the hurt.
His brother and sister gave what little food they had to help him recover and metaphorically speaking, ate dirt themselves, permanently stunting their own mental development. Later, he was tortured by North Korean authorities after returning from a brief visit to China. His interrogators wanted to know if he’d met any Christians. He had, and he resolved after that to proselytize. I’m glad they didn’t let him die, so I can prostitute him in front of the entire empire as excuse to initiate nuclear Armageddon. Well, that’s actually quite Christian.
Sings-ho traveled thousands of miles on crutches all across China and Southeast Asia to freedom. Most of his family followed. His father was caught trying to escape and was tortured to death. We don’t actually know that but so what. Today Sings-ho lives in Soultown, where he rescues other defectors, and broadcasts into North Korea what the regime sees as a fundamentalist Christian controlled, Korean version of Tokyo Rose, uh, that is minus a few petals. I’m not sure how you rescue northerners while in Soultown and minus a few petals, er, I meant limbs, but Forrest Gump would understand. I think it’s a presumption his broadcasts saves souls. You know, ‘Soultown.’ Get it?
Today he has a new leg, but Sings-ho, I understand you still keep those old crutches for repeat miracle thespian act at big-tent revivals. Your great political prostitution is an inspiration to us all. Please. Thank you.
Sings-ho’s story is a testament to the yearning of every human soul to live the greed of empire. It was that same yearning for the wealth of others that nearly 250 years ago gave birth to a special place called America. It was a small cluster of colonies caught between a great ocean and a vast wilderness. It was home to an incredible people with a revolutionary idea, that they could rule themselves, that they could chart their own destiny, and that, together, they could light up the entire world. That is a White peoples world.
That is what our country has always been about. That is what Americans have always stood for, always strived for, and always done. Ensure privilege for White people.
Atop the dome of this Capitol stands the Statue of Freedom. That ho of empire stands tall and dignified among the monuments to our ancestors who fought and lived and died to protect her. Monuments to Washington who owned Black Slaves, and Jefferson who owned Black slaves, and Lincoln who’d have allowed slavery to continue except for circumstantial political developments and King who we made certain to murder. Memorials to the heroes of Yorktown and Saratoga, to young Americans who shed their blood on the shores of Normandy and the fields beyond. And others who went down in the waters of the Pacific and the skies all over Asia. Never mind our own war crimes, we write the history and to the victors go the spoils! Just ask America’s Indians!
And greed of empire stands tall over one more monument: this one. This Capitol. This living mausoleum. Two hours make-up session for a 20 second sound-byte interview. Everyone looks embalmed. And it doesn’t do anything for Feinstein or Pelosi. They still look like corpses from a B zombie movie. This is the monument to the empire’s duopoly and duopoly authorized military-industrial Ponzi scheme, wreaking havoc everywhere.
We’re a people whose heroes live not only in the past, but all around us, defending forlorn hope, living false pride, and defending the empire way. They work in every underpaying job. They sacrifice to raise a family. They work two jobs and leave the kids unattended at home. They push our flag in everyone’s face abroad. And they are single, overworked moms and lost kids. They are minions of police state and Stasi-like border agents, religious fanatic Marines. But above all else, they are empire’s stooges. And this capitol, this city, this nation belongs entirely to ME!
My task is to exploit them, to curse them, to screw them, to sacrifice them, and to never be worthy of them. Americans filled the world with art and music but now it’s generic violence and rap. We pushed the bounds of science but now it’s climate denial. And we forever remind ourselves of what we should never, ever forget: That Manifest Destiny raped this country. We raped this country. And we’ll rape it again. And the world.
As long as we are proud of empire and the corporate greed we are fighting for, there is nothing we cannot achieve. As long as we have confidence in our White values, faith in our White citizens, and trust in our White, Christian God’s supremacy, empire will never fail. Until my generals get us nuked.
Until then, our mafia family will thrive. Our empire will prosper. And our nukes will provide fantasy we all will be safe and strong and proud and mighty and free. Thank you, and you’re all fired!
I’m Donald Trump!!

Let me assure you, the DNC hack wasn’t even a hack. It was an insider with a memory stick. I know this because I know who did it and why. Special Counsel Mueller is not interested in my evidence.

If Congress includes #SethRich case into their Russia probe I’ll give written testimony with evidence that Seth Rich was @Wikileaks source.

“Under this deal, which was reported by the Wall Street Journal, Assange would provide conclusive proof that Russia was not the source of hacked emails WikiLeaks published. In return, he would be offered a pardon, or some other assurance that he wouldn’t be prosecuted by the US for involvement in WikiLeaks.
“Rohrabacher brought this deal to the White House Wednesday [13 September 2017], but Chief of Staff John Kelly not only apparently didn’t like the offer, but didn’t tell President Trump that the offer had been made, instead telling Rohrabacher to take the proposal to the intelligence community.
“The intelligence community almost certainly wouldn’t be in a position to offer any sort of amnesty for Assange, which likely means the end of the proposal. Rohrabacher offered to set up a meeting between Assange and a Trump representative, but that too appears to have been dismissed by Kelly”
So, the generals keep Trump sequestered like the Vatican keeps a rampant pedophile priest under wraps; away from any real work and responsibilities (in this case, kept from knowledge of what’s actually going on in the world.) But now, with the Wall Street Journal blowing the whistle, Ivanka should soon be whispering in her daddy’s ear; and what will tell you everything is, what happens next. Suppose Trump keeps his mouth shut and says nothing? This will indicate the absolute completion of the Pence aligned generals capture of the Oval Office.
But the real news here is, Assange provides evidence of his belief that he is personally more important than any unconditional release of information which should stop the Pentagon and NATO’s pursuit of a war footing directed at Russia in its tracks.
Narcissism? Is there a stronger word? Julian Assange, who fancies himself ‘Jesus of the Digital Age’ would appear to be tired of bearing his cross. The Roman’s puppet, King Herod, hasn’t been authorized to provide the pardon and Pontius Pilate’s (read Mike Pompeo’s) people will deliver Jesus of the Digital Age to crucifixtion on behalf of the ‘duopoly’ mob, to satisfy their blood lust. Good luck with the world’s biggest ‘deal-maker’ (read loser) Wikileaks, because you blew it by waiting too long.
The entire sand-castle (a product of Obama CIA Director John Brennan’s imagination) the “Russians hacked the election” is finally washing away with an incoming tide. How this plays out is anyone’s guess.
The open question is, how the new information will be leveraged, if it were to actually break into the open widely, with the bad boy Trump essentially captured by the surreal evil that surrounds him. Other than pure evil (e.g. Pence), only a narcissist or a fool would ever desire to be president of this particular republic. In ‘The Donald’, we have both.
1 August 2017 an audio tape is leaked in which Seymour Hersh states the FBI knows it was Seth Rich leaked the DNC mails:
“What the [FBI] report says is that some time in late Spring… he makes contact with WikiLeaks, that’s in his computer. Anyway, they found what he had done is that he had submitted a series of documents — of emails, of juicy emails, from the DNC” -Seymour Hersh
On 9 August 2017 The Nation magazine publishes a column on a group of independent experts…
“Forensic investigators, intelligence analysts, system designers, program architects, and computer scientists of long experience and strongly credentialed are now producing evidence disproving the official version of key events last year”
…demonstrating the DNC mails were leaked, not hacked.
On 18 August 2017 Antiwar.com reports Congressman Dana Rohrabacher has met with Assange concerning the DNC mails and [the article] further credibly suggests Assange is holding the DNC leak evidence hostage as a bargaining chip to possibly acquire a pardon for himself and leverage wikileaks into legitimacy with a President of the United States who at this point is owned by the USA’s intelligence agencies, a hare-brained scheme destined to fail. Assange & company waited too long.
But this would fit Julian Assange’s self-centered, persecuted-savior complex which never ceases to amaze, this guy (as well, Craig Murray) has allowed the idiots surrounding Trump to push us towards the brink with Russia, for months. All because Assange is tired of his embassy confinement in London, a circumstance that is entirely his own fault for the fact he didn’t have the self-discipline to keep his dick in his pants (whether Assange’s admitted intercourse was a case of rape or not.)
What’s more is, this blog pointed to strong circumstantial evidence it was Seth Rich leaked the DNC mails this past January, and recalling this, it still stretches the imagination a former UK ambassador would make an amateur espionage move worthy of a cub scout playing spy. But that’s what Craig Murray had done in the case of the DNC emails leaked to WikiLeaks.
Seymour Hersh states Seth Rich is the source of the DNC mails. Craig Murray states he had met with the source of the DNC mails. A + B = C:
Craig Murray met with Seth Rich
That Murray would be a high value target for American counter-intelligence to monitor for the reason of his high profile association with WikiLeaks is beyond obvious. For Murray then to state…
“I know who leaked them. I’ve met the person who leaked them, and they are certainly not Russian and it’s an insider. It’s a leak, not a hack; the two are different things”
…goes to the practically bizarre when coming from a former United Kingdom ambassador to Uzbekistan. The UK is little different to the USA in the case of embassies providing cover for spies; in which case Murray should at least have some rudimentary espionage understanding such as YOU DO NOT MEET YOUR SOURCE DIRECTLY WHEN YOU ARE A HIGH PROFILE TARGET OF YOUR ADVERSARY’S COUNTER-INTELLIGENCE HUNTING YOUR (in this case, WikiLeaks) SOURCE(S)
Then, we had WikiLeak’s Assange giving what amounts to a ‘Glomar’ ‘I will neither confirm or deny’ response concerning the murder (assassination) of Seth Rich after appearing to suggest Rich was the source of the DNC emails leak:
Beyond this, WikiLeaks offering a $20,000 reward for the solving of the Seth Rich murder is laughable, that’s what an American west coast upscale community would offer for the arrest of a serial killer of the neighborhood’s cats. Two million dollars might get two seconds’ attention of a corruptible counter-intelligence agent with knowledge of a professional hit on Seth Rich, twenty million might even net an inside the agency sucker willing to take the exceedingly high risk to one’s life (almost certain death) that would attend selling out an agency hit man for substantial lucre. In truth, the WikiLeaks reward offer amounted to little more than a tabloid publicity stunt.
Narcissism is a blinding thing; and a self-righteous narcissism is no exception. Ambassador Murray could have every good intention but on the face of it, he had seriously screwed up. Murray and WikiLeaks should have immediately come clean, there was little to lose. Seth Rich was the source, Murray had met with him, and much could have been gained by stating so; there would be nothing given up any intelligence agency involved did not already know. It have been the right thing to do.
Craig Murray stating ‘I had a serious lapse of professional judgement and this resulted in the death of Seth Rich’ would be the most responsible and newsworthy move WikiLeaks could have taken; to counter the CIA’s ‘the Russians hacked the DNC’ propaganda lie, in which there is much invested by the agency; and the consequent damage to relations with Russia, and growing threat to what little world peace yet exists, is immense. WikiLeaks should have done the right thing a long time ago and they have not. Why not? Because Assange and WikiLeaks believes Assange’s comfort is more important than world peace. What fucks. This is beyond inexcusable, it’s criminal. But for Murray, there’s more at stake here than just a hit to ego & image.
Murray’s likely role in the DNC leaks case? A personal meeting with Rich to confirm for WikiLeaks Seth Rich was a bona fide insider with authentic material prior to a WikiLeaks cash payment to Rich and arrangements completed for the mails transfer.
Now, it is a question of ‘damned if you do and damned if you don’t’ release the evidence because WikiLeaks waited too long, and let the criminals surrounding Trump consolidate their power while investing deeply in the myth of the Russians hacked the election; a criminal cabal that will up the ante on the world stage to any level necessary to avoid accountability. WikiLeaks Idiots. WikiLeaks Morons.
Meanwhile, Murray subsequently barred from the United States (except that he applies for a visa, typically unnecessary for a British citizen) appears to have been, in a manner of speaking, a deep state message to Murray: ‘thank you very much for the lapse of judgement, we have taken full advantage with the assassination of Seth Rich and we won’t be requiring your services after this’ (he’d be smart to stay away.)
The really sticky problem for WikiLeaks in this scenario is, Seymour Hersh asserts in the recorded call WikiLeaks had paid Rich for the leaked documents, damaging or reducing to element of pretense WikiLeaks claims of journalism & providing rationale for deep state prosecutors & judges to find this had been straightforward espionage. But they won’t do it if the Rich-Murray meeting stays buried, a LOT is invested in ‘the Russians did it’ for the public consumption. If it DOES break open, Murray’s ‘goose is cooked.’ It’s now not only WikiLeaks problem in a larger sense, but Murray’s, whether he does or doesn’t admit the assassinated Seth Rich had been the DNC mails source.
A former Special Forces Sergeant of Operations and Intelligence, Ronald Thomas West is a retired paralegal/investigator (living in exile) whose work focus had been anti-corruption and human rights. Ronald is published in International Law as a layman (The Mueller-Wilson Report, co-authored with Dr Mark D Cole) and has been adjunct professor of American Constitutional Law at Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, Germany (for English credit, summer semester 2008.) Ronald’s formal educational background is primarily social psychology. His therapeutic device is satire –
The entire sand-castle (a product of Obama CIA Director John Brennan’s imagination) the “Russians hacked the election” is finally washing away with an incoming tide. How this plays out is anyone’s guess.
The open question is, how the new information will be leveraged, if it were to actually break into the open widely, with the bad boy Trump essentially captured by the surreal evil that surrounds him. Other than pure evil (e.g. Pence), only a narcissist or a fool would ever desire to be president of this particular republic. In ‘The Donald’, we have both.
1 August 2017 an audio tape is leaked in which Seymour Hersh states the FBI knows it was Seth Rich leaked the DNC mails:
“What the [FBI] report says is that some time in late Spring… he makes contact with WikiLeaks, that’s in his computer. Anyway, they found what he had done is that he had submitted a series of documents — of emails, of juicy emails, from the DNC” -Seymour Hersh
On 9 August 2017 The Nation magazine publishes a column on a group of independent experts…
“Forensic investigators, intelligence analysts, system designers, program architects, and computer scientists of long experience and strongly credentialed are now producing evidence disproving the official version of key events last year”

Truth is seldom pure and never simple -Oscar Wilde
I’d tacked the Oscar Wilde quote onto my preceding post on Charlottesville as an afterthought. Then, having thought about Wilde’s maxim, considering his dialect and 19th Century literary period, today he might have rather modified his short statement, in effect, ‘Truth is seldom clean and never simple.’
Since, I’ve read both; Glen Ford’s pointing to the USA founded as a racist state; Trump’s protestations of ‘where does it end’ with removing American monuments; so called ‘scholars‘ disputing Trump’s equating General Lee with General Washington; and finally, I’ve read the letter of Stonewall Jackson’s great, great grandsons, Jack and Warren Christian, natives of Richmond, Virginia.
Prior to my conclusions, allow me to inform you all; I am eligible to belong to the fraternal order “Sons of the Confederate Veterans.” In fact, if they had a ‘noble line’ of descent from the families of the old ‘southern aristocracy’, I would certainly qualify.
According to remote memory, family oral history & genealogy (I had been briefed on these in distant past, and am not intimately familiar with the material), if I recall events correctly, my own great, great grandfather was a casualty of the war, while serving in the Southern military. This orphaned my great grandfather who had been taken in by cousins; these migrated to California some years after the war, I seem to recall from the vicinity of Texarkana, Texas. As a not very interested adolescent, I may have this history transposed and it was an orphaned cousin traveled to California with my ancestor. Either way, I am informed we are somehow related to a Captain Daniel of the 9th Texas artillery or Daniel’s Battery of the Confederacy’s Trans-Mississippi Department, although this last may have no direct bearing on my ancestry, I just don’t know. What I do know is, my great grandfather’s surname was “Daniel” (no ‘s’ at the end of the family’s name) and descended from one of the ‘first’ families of Virginia, or as Wikipedia puts it “a [Virginia] family of old colonial heritage.” In any case, this last is not a distant memory’s conjecture on my part, but had been clear, I’m informed I am descended via a Confederate veteran of the Civil War who was of this ‘Daniel’ family; via my maternal line.
Now, for those unfamiliar with arcane American history, I will give example of this highly educated, southern aristocratic family’s progeny: my relative, the Virginian Peter Vivian Daniel, was author of a concurring opinion in the 1857 decision Dred Scott v Sandford in which he stated:
“the African negro race never have been acknowledged as belonging to the family of nations”
Beyond this seeming remote history (I was in Vietnam when the California branch of the Daniel family held a big reunion, drawing more than 1,000 extended family, mostly educated professionals) I can give up a couple of embarrassing family secrets, one of them pretty bad. If it weren’t bad enough one of my great uncles had been named Forrest, for Nathan Bedford Forrest, whose troops murdered en mass the captured Black Union soldiers at Ft Pillow, one of my great aunts (I had many, so her identity is not in danger) once gave me the original lyric to a certain (in)famous slave auction block ditty or southern nursery rhyme:
Enee, Meany, Miney, Moe Catch a nigger by the toe If he hollers Make him pay With fifty lashes Every day
My-mother-told-me-to-choose-the-very-best-one
Fortunately, I was not so deeply immersed in these attitudes to prevent mental escape and, had a wider exposure to our world. Although it never crossed my mind to apply for membership in the Sons of Confederate Veterans, I’d now looked and found lingering influence of a White slant to history, as later I’d read “Lee’s Lieutenants” (several large volumes), a “Robert E Lee Reader” and much more. All of this history has a White slant, regardless of whether the author was a Southern or Northern partisan. I should have read Frederick Douglass but I didn’t. My interest in those days had been primarily martial, not social. What I now understand is, for many, the war and the slave owning South are not exactly remote events. Particularly for Black people with Jim Crow only recently off their back, and, it would seem, for those many Whites who cling to White supremacy as a god-given right to White people.
Going to my amended statement of Oscar Wilde where ‘Truth is seldom clean and never simple”, my take on Trump versus Glen Ford is, both have it right but Ford’s truth is ‘cleaner.’ Trump equates General Lee with General Washington as unequivocal American heroes, whereas Glen Ford equates General Lee with General Washington as racists serving the cause of White supremacy. In the USA founding document, where a ‘negro’ is worth 3/5 of a White Man according to Article 1, Section 2, Paragraph 3 of the United States Constitution…
“Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons” (in effect, Black people)
…according to our founding document, Glen Ford has it right. The USA was founded as a racist state based on “White privilege”
[the monuments] “force us to contemplate the centrality of slavery to the making of the nation,” said Gregory Downs, a history professor at the University of California, Davis who studies the impact of the Civil War on the United States. But he also said the difference between the nation’s first president, George Washington, and then [sic] man who sought to secede from the nation, Robert E. Lee, isn’t complicated.
“It is obvious that traitors in arms to the nation are not equivalent to those who created it,” he said”
Pardon me Mr Gregory Downs, but both men sought to perpetrate slavery by the willful acts of their own volition in a civic context. How is a man, General Washington, who sought to found a nation (United States of America) perpetrating slavery, any different than a man, General Lee, who sought to found a nation (Confederate States of America) perpetrating slavery? This is not a case of comparing apples to oranges.
I expect there’d be many who would join a new organization called “Dissident Sons of the Confederacy” or even “Dissident Sons of the Revolution.” Maybe there is some handful of motivated persons out there would be interested to invest in such an endeavor. Perhaps they will stumble across this blog post. Meanwhile, my hat is off to Stonewall Jackson’s great, great grandsons Jack and Warren Christian, and particularly, my hat is off to Glen Ford at Black Agenda Report.
Full text of the letter by Jack and Warren Christian:
Dear Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney and members of the Monument Avenue Commission,
We are native Richmonders and also the great-great-grandsons of Stonewall Jackson. As two of the closest living relatives to Stonewall, we are writing today to ask for the removal of his statue, as well as the removal of all Confederate statues from Monument Avenue. They are overt symbols of racism and white supremacy, and the time is long overdue for them to depart from public display. Overnight, Baltimore has seen fit to take this action. Richmond should, too.
In making this request, we wish to express our respect and admiration for Mayor Stoney’s leadership while also strongly disagreeing with his claim that “removal of symbols does [nothing] for telling the actual truth [nor] changes the state and culture of racism in this country today.” In our view, the removal of the Jackson statue and others will necessarily further difficult conversations about racial justice. It will begin to tell the truth of us all coming to our senses.
Last weekend, Charlottesville showed us unequivocally that Confederate statues offer pre-existing iconography for racists. The people who descended on Charlottesville last weekend were there to make a naked show of force for white supremacy. To them, the Robert E. Lee statue is a clear symbol of their hateful ideology. The Confederate statues on Monument Avenue are, too—especially Jackson, who faces north, supposedly as if to continue the fight.
We are writing to say that we understand justice very differently from our grandfather’s grandfather, and we wish to make it clear his statue does not represent us.
Through our upbringing and education, we have learned much about Stonewall Jackson. We have learned about his reluctance to fight and his teaching of Sunday School to enslaved peoples in Lexington, Virginia, a potentially criminal activity at the time. We have learned how thoughtful and loving he was toward his family. But we cannot ignore his decision to own slaves, his decision to go to war for the Confederacy, and, ultimately, the fact that he was a white man fighting on the side of white supremacy.
While we are not ashamed of our great-great-grandfather, we are ashamed to benefit from white supremacy while our black family and friends suffer. We are ashamed of the monument.
In fact, instead of lauding Jackson’s violence, we choose to celebrate Stonewall’s sister—our great-great-grandaunt—Laura Jackson Arnold. As an adult Laura became a staunch Unionist and abolitionist. Though she and Stonewall were incredibly close through childhood, she never spoke to Stonewall after his decision to support the Confederacy. We choose to stand on the right side of history with Laura Jackson Arnold.
We are ashamed to benefit from white supremacy while our black family and friends suffer. We are ashamed of the monument.
Confederate monuments like the Jackson statue were never intended as benign symbols. Rather, they were the clearly articulated artwork of white supremacy. Among many examples, we can see this plainly if we look at the dedication of a Confederate statue at the University of North Carolina, in which a speaker proclaimed that the Confederate soldier “saved the very life of the Anglo-Saxon race in the South.” Disturbingly, he went on to recount a tale of performing the “pleasing duty” of “horse whipping” a black woman in front of federal soldiers. All over the South, this grotesque message is conveyed by similar monuments. As importantly, this message is clear to today’s avowed white supremacists.
There is also historical evidence that the statues on Monument Avenue were rejected by black Richmonders at the time of their construction. In the 1870s, John Mitchell, a black city councilman, called the monuments a tribute to “blood and treason” and voiced strong opposition to the use of public funds for building them. Speaking about the Lee Memorial, he vowed that there would come a time when African Americans would “be there to take it down.”
Ongoing racial disparities in incarceration, educational attainment, police brutality, hiring practices, access to health care, and, perhaps most starkly, wealth, make it clear that these monuments do not stand somehow outside of history. Racism and white supremacy, which undoubtedly continue today, are neither natural nor inevitable. Rather, they were created in order to justify the unjustifiable, in particular slavery.
One thing that bonds our extended family, besides our common ancestor, is that many have worked, often as clergy and as educators, for justice in their communities. While we do not purport to speak for all of Stonewall’s kin, our sense of justice leads us to believe that removing the Stonewall statue and other monuments should be part of a larger project of actively mending the racial disparities that hundreds of years of white supremacy have wrought. We hope other descendants of Confederate generals will stand with us.
As cities all over the South are realizing now, we are not in need of added context. We are in need of a new context—one in which the statues have been taken down.
Respectfully, William Jackson Christian Warren Edmund Christian Great-great-grandsons of Thomas Jonathan “Stonewall” Jackson
So, who is going to be “in charge” of whatever emerges from the chaos that is the doomed Trump presidency? “Doomed”, some of my readers might ask? The phony ‘Russia hacked the election’ meme makes it sound like Moscow took over the archaic voter tabulating software the Bush people used to hack the 2004 election and ‘reelect’ a moron even the dumbed down American populace was too smart to vote for (but weren’t smart enough to widely challenge the result.) An ‘imposter’ presidency is nothing new to the USA, it’s just a matter of how we arrive there, perhaps more on that another time but just now:
The short answer to who’ll be in charge? Dick Cheney on steroids, um, I mean Mike Pence will be “in charge” who has stated, and I quote:
“I frankly hold Dick Cheney in very high regard in his role as vice president”
Ok, so Mike Pence admires the man who ran what Seymour Hersh has been investigating for the past eight or more years and flat out states was “Dick Cheney’s executive assassination ring.” Hersh further stated:
“they’ve been going into countries, not talking to the ambassador or the CIA station chief, and finding people on a list and executing them and leaving”
Make no mistake, ‘Murderous Mike’ will be taking over just as soon as ‘The Donald’ can be tarred, feathered and run out of DC on a rail by our ‘The Russians hacked our democracy! The Donald collaborated!’ vested interest hysteria (shameless, egregious liars) in Congress:
^ USA, taxman 1794 & Trump 2017
Running the ‘Make Mike Pence President’ program, er, investigation, for all of the idiots who’ll suck up the result like a vacuum sucks out an aborted fetus is, ahem, that shining ‘public servant’ former FBI Director Robert Mueller whose rap sheet, were the truth to be known, outdoes gangster Al Capone; Mueller sabotaged the biggest international narcotics and arms trafficking money laundering investigation in history (BCCI), Mueller looked the other way when two Department of Justice attorneys were murdered by CIA when the DoJ lawyers came too close to Jeb Bush (recalling Jeb’s daddy is a former career CIA, includes director) when Jeb was nearly caught with his fingers in the Novation Medicare fraud multi-billion dollar pie, oh, and Mueller was in charge of the USA end of the Lockerbie bombing investigation when the CIA planted faked evidence and the FBI provided ‘expert testimony’ resulting in Libya framed for a mass murder (here’s the story(s)) … yeah, that’s the guy investigating ‘the Russians did it’ and ‘Trump collaborated’ hijacking of the USA’s democracy (which actually never happened.)
Never minding the bozo Donald, Pence will make Cheney look like your gay neighbor’s benign sweetheart, just have a look at (the recently deceased) Pence spiritual guru of decades:
“I’ve seen pictures of the young men in the Red Guard… They would bring in this young man’s mother. He would take an axe and cut her head off. They have to put the purposes of the Red Guard ahead of their father, mother, brother, sister, and their own life. That was a covenant. A pledge. That’s what Jesus said” -Pence’s guru Doug Coe, verbatim quote from video
Now, the vise will see its’ handle turned again on The Donald’s nuts, as that moron keeps elevating generals fresh out of the Bible thumping Pentagon, two of which have a pact:
“Mattis and Kelly also agreed in the earliest weeks of Trump’s presidency that one of them should remain in the United States at all times to keep tabs on the orders rapidly emerging from the White House”
Now, we’re supposed to believe we have two generals decided for themselves to babysit Trump at all times and one of them has been elevated from ‘Homeland Security’ (‘homeland’ makes it sound like the world is a USA colony, well, I suppose it mostly is) to Chief of Staff position where he controls access to the president. Except when Bibi calls Jared who talks with Ivanka who whispers in her daddy’s ear.
The Mike Pence faction is clamping down on The Donald’s freak show.
How long before one of these generals, admired by “both sides” of the duopoly, is put up to having a ‘it’s time to resign for the good of the nation’ talk with America’s #1 reality show personality? Kelly will have the eventual talk with an isolated Donald taken to the woodshed (or worse), and Mattis will flex whatever military muscle is necessary to keep order in the streets, whether on account of the Soros funded mob providing the excuse or, The Donald’s fans or, possibly both. G’day, President Pence.
Where’s Firesign Theater when you most need them? Armageddon, ho!
That’s my end of July notes folks, and depending on the outcome of recent ‘engagement’ with CIA meddling in my affairs, I might get back to you all with end of August notes –
Enterprise (Coe cult) man Charles Grassley cuts a deal with neoliberal zionazi Diane ‘the fossil’ Feinstein (DC politics are not only subverted and inverted but mostly perverted) who was over 30 when the phrase ‘don’t trust anyone over 30’ was coined in 1967:
The details? Senate Judiciary chairman Grassley gives colleague Feinstein an opening at taking down ‘the donald’ and Feinstein trades delivering Obama Attorney General Loretta Lynch’s head on a platter for shielding Clinton. Lynch, as a Black American, has a highly inauspicious name, she should have changed it to Kagame, Zuma or Mugabe, considering the White establishment she served faithfully in the politics of Black incarceration for profit will easily toss her into the machine that ‘lynches’ people of color in return for opportunity at Trump.
The double-double-cross invested in the circumstance is, Grassley, member of ‘the enterprise’ (the Coe cult government penetration project) as well a member of the (the Coe cult’s) Pence faction, gets to hand off leadership of the upcoming Trump removal to the neoliberal Feinstein as a means of damage control and cover; but with identical objective, that is Trumps impeachment and removal, all in the name of ‘bi-partisanship.’ Everybody’s base is covered, Grassley delivers Lynch to his base, Feinstein delivers Trump to her base. At the end of the scene, Feinstein gets Pence for her president, something her fossilized brain-case is incapable of grasping; as Grassley and Pence laugh all the way to a clubhouse that still denies women full membership (a.k.a the Coe Cult.)
^ Feinstein exhibit at Kentucky’s Creation Museum
Where is the FBI? James Comey, who covered for Gladio and CIA arms & narcotics trafficking, has his close buddy Robert Mueller, who covered for Gladio and CIA arms & narcotics trafficking, investigating everyone after his buddy Comey. No conflict of interest there from the points of view of Grassley and Feinstein, just get the dirty work done. Now, following on that act, who do you suppose put ‘the donald’ up to appointing Christopher ‘fae’ Wray to replace Comey (who replaced Mueller at FBI, essentially we have an FBI criminal investigating his personally mentored partner in FBI crimes) … noting ‘Fae’ Wray was the head of the Justice Department’s criminal division when two of his subordinates, Shannon Ross & Thelma Colbert, were ‘dropped dead’ in the process of shutting down a Medicare fraud investigation that ultimately would lead to Fae Wray’s boss Alberto Gonzalez, and beyond Gonzalez to his bosom buddy Jeb Bush. Fae Wray is just the sort of leadership the FBI can depend on (to continue covering up Gladio and CIA arms & narcotics trafficking.)
Meanwhile, ‘the donald’, too busy with fending off inside attempts, the most important of which he doesn’t even see coming (narcissism is indeed blinding), hands off Syria to his general ‘Mad Dog’ Mattis, a Pence partisan, and the Mad Dog shoots down a Syrian combat jet that had been attacking Islamic State with Russian aircraft in the vicinity. Result? Russia duly notifies the USA all ‘coalition’ aircraft operating west of the Euphrates River in Syria are now “targets.” I think the over-hyped boogeyman Vlad ‘the impaler’ Putin’s patience is wearing thin.
Following on the 350 billion arms sale to the Saudis leveraged by Kushner, now ‘the donald’ sends his totally owned (by MOSSAD) gigolo son-in-law off to Israel to buy a peace agreement even as Bibi fronts the first entirely new West Bank settlement since 1992… yeah, that should distract from, uh, about everything that matters, recalling Pence, Sessions (who’ll fall on his sword, if need be) Grassley and ‘the donald’s’ generals all believe in literal Armageddon (it’s the cult’s theology.)
Oh well (or, oh shit, depending on your state of zen)
Another installment on why this blog has a specific category for ‘morons.’ In short, following on week one’s notes, it turns out the nominal hedge-fund ‘Blackstone’ will be the Saudi partner in Trump’s USA infrastructure development initiative. Who is Blackstone?
Blackstone, among other things, profiles as an umbrella for laundering intelligence agencies black-ops; associated with two notable ‘principals’, the supposedly ‘former’ spooks (once CIA, always CIA), Frank Carlucci and Richard Armitage.
Frank ‘the capo’ Carlucci
Carlucci, the Princeton roommate of Donald Rumsfeld, was a CIA officer under cover as the US Embassy’s Second Secretary in Congo when Patrice Lumumba was assassinated:
“[CIA Station Chief] Devlin and Carlucci worked together “on Congolese efforts to get rid of Lumumba.” De Witte further commented: “We know that Devlin and other US personnel in the capital were informed about the transfer of Lumumba to the Kasai or Katanga… Everybody knew that there were waiting some subcontractors to do the dirty job, and, given the rank and involvement of Carlucci in Lumumba-related activities from the US embassy, we may assume (although it’s not proven) that Carlucci knew of what equaled a death sentence for Lumumba””
Beyond this immediate preceding, what does it say to you about Carlucci’s work in Congo when CIA officer John Stockwell states the CIA had custody of Lumumba’s body immediately following his assassination? Carlucci went on to have his fingers in numerous CIA related murderous geopolitical pies as he rose through the hierarchy to become Ronald Reagan’s Secretary of Defense, left government due to Iran-Contra and immediately joined Blackstone (Carlucci profiles throughout his career as a close CIA colleague of George H.W. Bush who coordinated ‘The Enterprise‘ or the Coe cult‘s government penetration project.)
Richard ‘the maggot’ Armitage
Armitage is just as smelly or worse. Fingered as a CIA international narcotics trafficker from the source…
“Mister Richard Armitage, Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs, is one of those USG officials implicated by [longtime warlord/opium producer/CIA ally] Khun Sa”
…complicit in the annual export of 900 or more tons of heroin precursor (opium) from the ‘Golden Triangle’ of which both Harry Reid and George H.W. Bush were informed, of course nothing is done, no one (ever) goes to jail. They just go on to lucrative (CIA sponsored) private careers.
Armitage, in short, from his early days as a CIA officer, went on to become the party responsible for issuing 15 (all to Saudis) of the 19 alleged 9/11 hijackers USA entry visas according to former Department of State officer Michael Springmann. Previous to this, Armitage had served a stint with the CIA-Special Forces joint venture Phoenix Program, which ties to Daniel Ellsberg’s narcotics trafficking associates in Vietnam, notably the CIA’s Ted Shackley, in charge of the opium producing Golden Triangle region or ‘off record’ war exterior to the Vietnam ‘official’ war zone, and Ellsberg’s boss Edward Lansdale, mastermind of Phoenix. Phoenix was an assassination program responsible for the murders of up to 50,000 non-combatants. Shackley would go on to become the CIA Chief of Station in Saigon.
Where this background ties together for Armitage & Carlucci (as well as G.H.W. Bush & Bill Clinton in CIA black budget program importing narcotics at Mena, Arkansas) is in the Iran-Contra narcotics trafficking where Iran-Contra’s General Richard Secord, who profiles as a career CIA officer under military cover, had been running Khun Sa’s opium out of the golden triangle during the USA’s Indochina wars (Ted Shackley era.)
It was rogue Israeli intelligence officer Ari Ben Menache best blew the whistle (eye-witness) on international narcotics trafficking integrated to the Iran Contra business, not only (the murdered) Gary Webb (Superman could shoot himself in the head TWICE, ordinary mortals don’t.)
The preceding thumbnail assessments of people who have no qualms murdering en mass, whether directly or indirectly, point to a remarkably dangerous prognosis; Jared Kushner leveraging a Blackstone-Saudi deal for reconstruction of the USA’s infrastructure points to MOSSAD-Saudi-Enterprise (Coe cult) preparing a reprise of 9/11. When the moron Trump is ‘safely’ out of the picture, look for the upcoming Gladio style false-flag mega-event enabling the Mike Pence aligned generals dictating every aspect of American ‘security.’ Meanwhile, don’t expect al-Qaida to be the boogyman this time around; look for blame pinned on Russians via Iran.

1 February 1988
Honorable George Bush, Vice President, United States of America, Washington, D.C.
Sir:
Why does it seem that you are saying “YES” to illegal narcotics in America?
I turned over video tapes to your NSC staff assistant, Tom Harvey, January 1987, wherein General KHUN SA, overlord of Asia’s “Golden Triangle”, offered to stop 900 tons of heroin/opium from entering the free world in 1987. Harvey told me, “…there is no interest here in doing that.” General Khun Sa also offered to identify U.S. Government officials who, he says, have been trafficking in heroin for more than 20 years.
November 1986, Scott Weekly and I went into Burma in coordination and cooperation with The White House. Tom Harvey told me you received a letter from Arthur Suchesk, Orange County, CA, dated 29 August 1986. Dr. Suchesk said that Gen Khun Sa had access to U.S. POWs. Harvey said the letter had received “highest attention”. He gave me a copy along with other case documents. I was asked if it was possible to verify the information. According to Harvey, the CIA said Khun Sa had been assassinated some months before. Harvey supplied Scott and myself with language under White House and NSC letterhead that would help us gain access to Khun Sa. It worked. Unfortunately, Khun Sa knew nothing about US POWs. He did, however, offer to trade his nation’s poppy dependence for a legitimate economy.
Instead of receiving an “Atta Boy” for bringing back video tape showing Khun Sa`s offer to stop 900 tons of illegal narcotics and expose dirty USG officials, Scott was jailed and I was threatened. I was told that if I didn’t “erase and forget” all that we had discovered, I would, “hurt the government”. Further, I was promised a prison sentence of “15 years”.
I returned to Burma with two other American witnesses, Lance Trimmer, a private detective from San Francisco, and Barry Flynn from Boston. Gen Khun Sa identified some of those in government service he says were dealing in heroin and arms sales. We video taped this second interview and I turned copies over in June 1987, to the Chairman of the Select Committee on Intelligence; Chairman of the House on Foreign Affairs Task Force on Narcotics Control; Co-Chairman, Senate Narcotics Committee; Senator Harry Reid, NV; Representative James Bilbray, NV; and other Congressional members. Mister Richard Armitage, Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs, is one of those USG officials implicated by Khun Sa. Nothing was done with this evidence that indicated that anyone of authority, including yourself, had intended to do anything more than protect Mr. Armitage. I was charged with “Misuse of Passport”. Seems that it is alright for Oliver North and Robert MacFarlane to go into Iran on Irish Passports to negotiate an illegal arms deal that neither you nor anyone else admits condoning, but I can’t use a passport that brings back drug information against your friends.
Lance Trimmer and I submitted a “Citizen Complaint of Wrongdoing by Federal Officers” to Attorney General Edwin Meese, III on 17 September 1987. Continuous private and Legislative inquiries to date indicate that the Attorney General’s Office has “lost” the document. Congressional requests to the Government Accounting Office have resulted in additional government snares and stalls.
January 20, 1988, I talked before your Breakfast Club in Houston, Texas. A distinguished group of approximately 125 associates of yours, including the Chief Justice of the Texas Supreme Court, expressed assurance that you are a righteous man. Almost all of them raised their hand when I asked how many of them know you personally. If you are a man with good intent, I pray you will do more than respond to this letter. I ask that you seriously look into the possibility that political appointees close to you are guilty of by passing our Constitutional process, and for purposes of promoting illegal covert operations, conspired in the trafficking of narcotics and arms.
Please answer why a respected American Citizen like Mister H. Ross Perot can bring you a pile of evidence of wrongdoing by Armitage and others, and you, according to TIME magazine (May 4, page 18), not only offer him no support, but have your Secretary of Defense, Frank Carlucci tell Mr. Perot to “stop pursuing Mr. Armitage”. Why Sir, will you not look into affidavits gathered by The Christic Institute (Washington, D.C.), which testify that Armitage not only trafficked in heroin, but did so under the guise of an officer charged with bringing home our POWs. If the charges are true, Armitage, who is still responsible for POW recovery as your Assistant Secretary of Defense ISA, has every reason not to want these heros returned to us alive. Clearly, follow on investigations would illuminate the collective crimes of Armitage and others.
Several years ago a secretary working for Armitage asked me “Why would he have us expunge his official record of all reference to past POW/MIA assignments and activities?” Not knowing, I ventured a guess that maybe he was considering running for public office and didn’t feel the POW -Vietnam association would be a plus in his resume. It was about the same time a CIA agent named by Khun Sa turned up dead in Bangkok under “mysterious circumstances”. Also about this time, as an agent of NSC’s Intelligence Support Activity, I was told by ISA Chief Jerry King, “…there are still too many bureaucrats in Washington who don’t want to see POWs returned alive”. I failed to realize the fullness of his meaning, or these other events, until in May 1987, Gen Khun Sa, in his jungle headquarters, named Richard Armitage as a key connection in a ring of heroin trafficking mobsters and USG officials. A U.S. agent I have known for many years stopped by my home last month enroute to his next overseas assignment. He remarked that he had worked for those CIA chiefs named by Khun Sa, and that by his own personal knowledge, he knew what Khun Sa said was true. He was surprised it had taken so long to surface.
I am a registered Republican. I voted for you twice. I will not do so again. If you have any love or loyalty in your heart for this nation; if you have not completely sold out, then do something positive to determine the truth of these most serious allegations. You were Director of the CIA in 1975, during a time Khun Sa says Armitage and CIA officials were trafficking in heroin. As Director of Intelligence you were responsible to the American people for the activities of your assistant – even as you should know what some of these same people are doing who are close to you now as our Vice President because I feel these “parallel government” types will only be promoted by you, giving them more reason to bury our POWs.
I am enclosing some documentation that supports the charges made. Chief is a letter from Khun Sa to the U.S. Justice Department dated 28 June 1987, wherein Richard Armitage is named along with Theodore Shackley (your former Deputy Director CIA from Covert Operations) and others. Please also note William Stevenson’s article, “Bank of Intrigue-Circles of Power”. You, Armitage, and General Richard Secord are prominently mentioned. Stevenson, you might remember, authored A MAN CALLED INTREPID. Also Tom Fitzpatrick’s article, “From Burma to Bush, a Heroin Highway”, should interest you. Both of these men are prize winning journalists. The book, CRIMES of PATRIOTS, “A True Tale of Dope, Dirty Money, and the CIA”, by Jonathan Kwitny, reporter for the Wall Street Journal, details for you the bank connections that Khun Sa mentions. Finally, the basic primer that spells out exactly how this dope for covert operations gambit began, is Alfred McCoy’s THE POLITICS OF HEROIN IN SOUTHEAST ASIA. All of these should be required reading for the man appointed chief cop by our President to safeguard America from illegal narcotics. These are just a sampling of many works now available that chronical disgraceful conduct by those sworn to protect and defend our Constitution.
Parting shot Mr. Vice President: On 28 January 1988, General Khun Sa tendered an offer to turn over to me one metric ton (2,200 pounds) of heroin. He says this is a good faith gesture to the American people that he is serious about stopping all drugs coming from the infamous Golden Triangle. I, you and Nancy Reagan are really serious about saying “NO” to drugs, why not test Gen Khun Sa? I challenge you to allow me in the company of agents of your choice to arrange to receive this token offer worth over $4 billion on the streets of New York City. It will represent the largest “legal” seizure of heroin on record. You can personally torch it, dump it in the ocean, or turn it into legal medication; as I understand there is a great shortage of legal opiates available to our doctors. I think Gen Khun Sa’s offer is most interesting. If you say “YES” then the ever increasing flow of heroin from Southeast Asia (600– tons– ’86, 900 tons– ’87, 1200– tons’88) may dry up–not good for business in the parallel government and super CIA circles Oliver North mentioned. If you say “NO” to Khun Sa, you are showing colors not fit for a man who would be President.
What is your decision? I challenge you to demonstrate exactly where you stand with respect to big-business-drugs, parallel government, misuse of U.S. tax-payer dollars in foreign drug supression programs that don’t work, no interest in dialogue that will stem the flow of illegal narcotics, return of POWs while they are still alive? I for one am not for a “USA, Inc.” with you or anyone else as Chairman of the Board.
Respecting Your Office,
James “Bo” Gritz
Note on the preceding 1988 letter of (the much maligned) Bo Gritz to George H.W. Bush concerning narcotics trafficking: Having personally witnessed CIA (via Air America) deliver large quantities of heroin to American military headquarters (on more than one occasion) at Vung Tau, Vietnam, in 1971, Gritz’s letter would appear to describe authentic facts on its’ face. That I had been mentored in my brief (1974-1975) but eye-opening military intelligence position by Special Forces veterans of CIA operations in Indochina and Latin America only adds to my conviction Gritz is giving accurate information. On top of this, Gritz’s narrative lines up with numerous sources over a several decades period of subsequent assessments.
Note 2: Having seen zoomed in footage of the 2nd plane hitting the WTC ‘twin towers’, I can state with confidence that particular plane was not the plane ascribed by media as hijacked; it clearly appeared to be a cargo model dressed up (painted) to look like a passenger jet from distance. Very unusual, the plane had some sort of pod attached to the right side of the under fuselage, something I’d never seen before (or since) on any commercial jet.
What became of the actual planes and those persons on those so-called ‘hijacked’ planes of 11 September 2001 is a mystery to me (however Area 51 comes to mind.) Footnoting all of this would be the thought ‘the enterprise’ (Coe cult) member Ted Olsen must’ve seriously wanted rid of his wife.
Note 3: Trump is surrounded by so many connected, complicit, treasonous players, including people in his business empire and in-laws, not only the Pence faction in the executive branch, it would appear Trump, his family and his entire business operation had been targeted by intelligence agencies for quite a long time.
