Even if you’re not a Trump
fan, there are some things you just shouldn’t bring up in public and/or polite
company. It isn’t necessarily that they’re impolite, it’s just
that you’ll call unwanted and embarrassing attention to things best left hidden
under the carpet.
Start with those 12 Russian “ham sandwichs” Mr. Mueller — with a lot of help —
managed to conjure up and then indict for “meddling” in the
2016 U.S. election.
It’s not that, as the justice
system aphorism goes, a D.A. can get his Grand Jury
to indict even a ham sandwich, it’s that it took Mr. Mueller and
Company over a year and a lot of taxpayer money to do it.
And it’s not so much that he
then blocked a defense motion for a quick trial.
It’s not even that, as the indictment admits, there was no collusion and no
effect on the election.
No, what’s embarrassing is
the overwhelming U.S. media/pundit consensus that 12 Russian ham sandwiches
somehow “threatened our democracy.”

Too
much James Bond is it?
If the Russians are that
scary and powerful, either we’re doomed or maybe the DNC should hire them for
the next election.
Shhhhhhhh!
Besides, as nearly everyone
knows, countries try to influence each other all the time. The U.S. Government
is particularly influenced by Israel and their AIPAC, etc. And that’s on a
regular basis, not just during elections. As Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu
put it, “America is a thing you can move very easily.“
Now that’s embarrassing. Shhhhhh!
But it’s in the “keep it under the carpet” department where the real problems lie.
It’s the U.S./CIA record of
messing in other folks’ elections. For
example, elections held by our archenemies Australia and New Zealand. As in the
U.S. coup sacking democratically elected Australian Prime Minister
Gough Whitlam and messing with the re-election of New Zealand Prime Minister David Lange for
example.
And when that doesn’t work
out, the CIA/government amalgam dials-up regime change and/or an
assassination even in New Zealand.
The
problem that needs to be kept under the carpet is that the U.S. Government does
this sort of thing regularly and pretty much everywhere. Like this – – –
Since
World War II, during a supposed golden age of peace, the United States military
has killed some 20 million people, overthrown at least 36 governments,
interfered in at least 82 foreign elections, attempted to assassinate over 50 foreign
leaders, and dropped bombs on people in over 30 countries. The United States is
responsible for the deaths of 5 million people in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia,
and over 1 million just since 2003 in Iraq. –U.S. Wars
and Hostile Actions: A List
Now
SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!
Given this championship U.S.
Government/CIA “meddling” as the standard, it might
be more appropriate to claim the 12 Russian amateurs participated in the 2016 election rather than
meddled. If they really did.
So
shhhhhhhh!
And there’s another thing we
don’t want to call attention to. Mr. Trump’s spotty record as chief U.S. arms
salesman and head cheer-leader for Eisenhower’s MilitaryIndustrialCongressional Complex,
you know, the “MIC“.
It’s true, like the pro he is
he has successfully pimped arms sales to Saudia Arabia
and is helping them bomb yet another mid-east country, Yemen this time, back to
the Stone Age.
As
the Industrial part of the MIC knows, you can bomb people into prosperity: The
people who make the bombs get rich.
And
to his credit and against international law — which is now the U.S. Government
standard — in two seperate actions, he managed to launch a total of over 180
cruise missles at targets in Syria. Which pumped Raytheon stock nicely. And he
did it with inferior narratives and no credible evidence.
On the other hand, by naming
the U.S./S.Korean so-called “joint military exercises”
what they really are — “war games” and “provocations” — and making progress in denuclearizing
the Korean peninsula by talking face-to-face with Kim Jong Un, he’s endangering
one of the biggest MIC boondoggles outside the continental U.S., namely the
35,000 troop S.Korean garrison and the military logistics to maintain it.
So shhhhhhhh! Do not talk about that Mr. Trump!!
In fact, whatever you do,
don’t talk to any folks who have been
scripted as your enemies! Remember what happened when you talked directly
face-to-face with Kim Jong Un for example.
Worse,
as you pointed out in your much maligned media event with Russia’s Vladimir
Putin in Helsinki, you might let slip that your enemy is really only you’re
competitor instead — and could even become your friend.
Be careful! As the MIC knows,
this is very dangerous. Without Russia as the Essential Villain — and Kim Jong Un plus North
Korea etc. as understudy and supporting cast — how would you bamboozle U.S.
taxpayers into accepting that bloated trillion dollar “defense” budget with its
huge yearly budget deficit?
So
for goodness sakes Mr. Trump, SHHHHHHHHHH!
And there’s another problem
with Mr. Trump. As thoroughly demonstrated in his July 13 media event with U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May in
London and again at the Helsiki event with Mr. Putin, Mr. Trump is
opposed to nuclear weapons.
Donald
Trump: Proliferation, to me, is the biggest problem in the world.
I understand nuclear. I used to talk nuclear with my uncle. It is the biggest
problem the world has, so if we can do something to reduce them, maybe it’s a
dream, but it’s a subject I will bring up with him [Putin]. –Donald Trump-Theresa May press conference, July 13, 2018
Donald
Trump: …nuclear proliferation in terms of stopping, have to do
it, ultimately that’s probably the most important thing that we can be working
on…. We [Russian and U.S. Governments] have 90 percent of nuclear power between
the two countries. It’s ridiculous. …. Transcript: Trump And Putin’s Joint Press Conference :
NPR
He
and Mr. Putin were clearly on the same anti-nuke page in their two-hour closed
door confab in Helsinki as well.
But that threatens the whole
nuclear weapons industry including the on-going trillion dollar nuclear upgrade. For chrissake
Mr. Trump, shhhhhhhhh!
Not
to worry though, the MIC has skills. And it controls large swaths of U.S. Main
Stream Media.
The most rabid
anti-communists I’ve ever met are just about everyone who experienced
first-hand the system which, as the unofficial mantra goes, “promised us worker’s paradise but gave us the other place instead.”
None
the less, fueled by the continuing propaganda they feed us, the MIC amalgam
successfully exploits the confusion Americans have between the old communist
USSR and today’s anti-communist Russia.
So we
need not fear for the MIC. It’s managed to create and maintain enough paranoia
to fuel debates like the one below, even betweem really serious thinkers such
as Glen Greenwald of The Intercept vs. Joe Cirincione, president of prominent
anti-nuke Ploughshares Fund – – –
You’d think anti-nuke Mr.
Cirincione would be the one arguing the Summit was “Crucial
Diplomacy Between Nculear Powers” but you’d be wrong. Score another
one for the MIC!
And,
as you can see, the media division of the machine has already managed to
postpone another dangerous-to-the-MIC summit – – –
It’s
clear from these headlines that what has now metastacized into the
MilitaryIndustrialCongressionalMediaBanking Complex — Deep State for short — is
completely capable of protecting our elites’ income and interests. They have
managed to convince nearly everyone that 12 amateur Russian ham sandwhiches who
may have participated in a U.S. election are more important — and scarier —
than nuclear annihilation.
They’re
right aren’t they?
