Instead of ordering a coverup, NEWTRUMP is left in stunned silence, trying to get out of his culpability pickle of having presided over 1) a devious Deep State acting independently to launch an expanded, perhaps nuclear, war, or 2) overseeing a staff and state bureaucracy so utterly incompetent in the field of nuclear weapons and treaties and intelligence that they themselves didn’t know, or innocently failed to tell the President in advance, or 3) all of the above.
The Spider’s Web op was an act of terror not just against Russia, but against the United States, Ukraine’s biggest “benefactor” since long before 2014, providing over $300 billion in arms and aid since 2021, the country paying the salaries of Ukraine’s civil servants for years. Oh that LBJ were in office in 1967 to shut down speculation, to lie on stage to protect his allies, unchecked and unquestioned by facts and witnesses. Forgetfulness is, as Kissinger noted, increasingly impossible, and so is ignorance.....
Why we fight remains a legitimate question, but how we have fought in Ukraine and in Palestine has already produced a frightening new and energetic contempt for the US government at home and abroad, a multigenerational contempt legitimized by an ugly and shameful reality. Our Orwellian government – depersonalized, disconnected from truth, oblivious to reality, obsessed with endless war and state murder – prevails for now, full steam ahead on the last century’s compromised tracks.
