russiagate psychodrama was about a coup based on lies....

“It was a coup, and I’m using that term literally … One egregious felony after another.” — Stephen Miller

America is tired of being driven insane, of having absurdities crammed into our collective consciousness. Reality is an agreement about what is going on in the world. That act of faith requires such an agreement be based on what is demonstrably true. Without it, society dissolves into chaos and failure.

The RussiaGate psychodrama is about an agreement based on lies. It started with Hillary Clinton’s desperate ploy to save her foundering 2016 election campaign. Her emails somehow got sent to Wikileaks, a radical news org dedicated to revealing government secrets, implicating misconduct. It was easy to declare the Russians did it, by hacking — when it was much more likely, in fact, proven by a forensic audit, that a Clinton campaign insider downloaded the info on a thumb drive, perhaps one Seth Rich, found murdered on a DC sidewalk soon thereafter.

Every lie after that met the kind of skepticism among the public that generates heat, controversy, scandal, and fire. Hillary managed to enlist President Barack Obama and his executive agencies into her project, and the party apparatus with it, because the Clinton Victory Fund had paid the DNC’s debts and took over its management. Soon, the Russia collusion project grew into a gigantic scaffold of flaming lies. The big newspapers and the TV news networks bought the story, and came along for the ride. They were all sure Hillary would win the 2016 election. All the heat and fire would get flushed away. The polls all said so. The agencies and the parties would pick up and go on as before, run the show, make careers, get wealthy, be important!

They miscalculated. They lost. But they decided to keep building the scaffold of lies in order to protect themselves from the danger it represented — because they lived in that scaffold, it was the party’s house. And the scaffold of lies needed massive fortification. The house that the party lived in had to be protected at all costs, or they would all be cast out, homeless, a whole party on street, lost, broke, ruined, dying, like the pitiful tweakers bent over out on Kensington Avenue in Philly, in every Democrat-run city, really.

And so, they undermined the winner of the election at every turn, worked furiously to drive him from office, made a plague happen, subverted the 2020 election, and spent four years under a fake president jamming absurdities into the public arena, turning it into a freak show, one drag-queen story hour after another, from sea to shining sea. All to defeat the return of a public consensus about reality based on what is demonstrably true — starting with the fact that there are men and there are women, and that the primary interaction between them keeps society going by producing offspring.

This enormous, drawn-out insurrection, composed of serial felony crimes, amounts to the greatest insult against the republic — the res publica, in Latin, the public thing — in the nation’s history. And now it is coming apart as an overwhelming majority of citizens, including now many Democrats, can’t avoid discovering what has happened in the country. Because lies are weak and the truth is sturdy and eventually truth prevails, even after an arduous struggle.

The old news media complex, the networks and the papers, are not reporting the recent disclosures by the Directors of the CIA, the FBI, and National Intel. What will it take to get their attention? Arrests and perp-walks of formerly important officials? And then, do they acknowledge and atone for their disgraceful participation in the events? Or pretend they couldn’t figure any of it out for years and years? Poor us, we didn’t know! Suddenly, it looks like many of these “legacy” news outfits are going out-of-business. They’re throwing their performers over the side like sinking ships casting off so much useless ballast.

You knew this was coming, right? Now, here you are: the hour that consequence finally returns from its wanderings in a wilderness of institutional failure. There’s no evading it anymore. The scaffold of lies has collapsed, and trying to add additional lies will amount to throwing a few twigs on a heap of smoldering wreckage.

The institutions themselves are under new management, and they show every sign of returning to regular operation, doing what they were designed to do in the first place: deliver a truthful account of what has happened and determine a just consequence for the people who made it happen. It’s going to happen, and then we can rebuild a coherent public consensus about what is really real, who we really are, and where we go from here.

AND NOW BACK TO "EPSTEINGATE"....

 

does he?....

 

Is Donald Trump really “ruling the world”?

 

by Philip Giraldi

Or does he only control the White House?

US President Donald J. Trump, who asserts with a certain arrogance to lead both the country and the world, created a political platform called "MAGA" [Make America Great Again]. He used this instrument to win the election, promising to improve the lives of Americans, reform the federal bureaucracy, and rid the country of illegal immigrants and criminals. He also focused on the waste, in every sense of the word, resulting from what he calls "Biden wars", referring to the conflicts in Asia and Europe that he considered unnecessary.

The slogan “Make America Great Again” was an effective marketing tool, but voters would have done better to consider Trump’s accomplishments during his first term as president. On foreign policy, and specifically war, he recklessly withdrew the United States from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), an agreement negotiated by President Barack Obama that oversaw and inspected Iran’s alleged nuclear program. In 2019, he also canceled the United States’ participation in the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty with Russia, triggering a nuclear arms race in Europe and leading scientists to move the nuclear clock closer to midnight, suggesting that the slightest misstep could lead to devastating consequences, even nuclear annihilation. He also recklessly assassinated Iranian General Qassem Soleimani, then on a peacekeeping mission in Baghdad, Iraq, in 2020, and twice bombed Syrian targets with cruise missiles based on false information provided by neoconservatives.

More recently, he bombed Iran in support of Israel, helped overthrow the Syrian government, and supported illegitimate wars in Ukraine and Gaza. So, it's safe to say that Donald Trump is not exactly a man of peace, and his vision of international politics and diplomacy is extremely limited. He's also a man who believes that "when in doubt, bomb!" He recently developed and cited nuclear war scenarios with Russia, most likely to prevent the release of documents related to the Epstein affair that could contain potentially devastating information about the president.

He posted a message on social media titled “Truth», so serious that it was riddled with grammatical, spelling, and syntax errors, suggesting that he was indeed the author. He announced that he had positioned two nuclear submarines near Russia because he was upset by former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev's Twitter jibes. Proof that even a former rebel pseudo-warrior turned president can be so moved by a derogatory Twitter comment that he wants to annihilate the world. And when the radioactive dust settles, Trump will be guaranteed to win the Nobel Peace Prize, which he declared last week that he has already fully earned at least four or five times thanks to his astonishing sense of pacifism.

Not to mention the issue of US-Israeli relations, where Trump and his predecessor have clearly been puppets of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who now has décidé that Israel would occupy the entire Gaza Strip—minus the Gazans—ignoring some of Trump's proposals. Trump is truly tied hand and foot to Israel, and anyone who denies this is either naive or much worse. A friend of mine recently wrote a letter to the White House protesting US support for war crimes in Gaza. The White House information office responded with a letter, apparently signed by Trump, which reads in part:

«When I was elected president, I made it clear that America would stand firmly with Israel… To ensure the security of our country, I have imposed visa restrictions on foreign nationals, including students, if they have ties to terrorist organizations. I am firmly committed to expelling pro-Hamas radicals and restoring security and patriotism to our college campuses. These measures reflect a clear and unwavering commitment to a foreign policy of peace through strength. Under my leadership, the United States is once again resolutely opposing terrorism and standing shoulder to shoulder with its allies. The State of Israel embodies the perseverance and triumph of humanity, and I will always support its right to wage its war on terrorism.».

So it's all about Israel, with no mention of real US interests. Now, since Israel is the world's leading source of international terrorism, even planning the genocide of two million Gazans, Trump's response seems somewhat hypocritical. Especially since the US is complicit in war crimes and has done nothing to end the fighting in Gaza or Ukraine. Yet, he could end it with a simple phone call to Volodymyr Zelensky and Netanyahu, by cutting off all support for one or both of these initiatives. The US might also admit that the arguments put forward by Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding Ukraine and NATO, and that Israel's atrocities in Gaza are actual war crimes constituting genocide, are also valid. recent inspection The presentation of "humanitarian" conditions in Gaza by U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee and chief negotiator Steve Witkoff was worth the trip. The event, staged by the Israeli military, featured several Arabs presented as "Gazans" complacently describing how terrified they are of their own Hamas leaders and hopelessly grateful to the Israelis. Huckabee and Witkoff, of course, detected neither starvation nor the massacre of Palestinians by their Israeli hosts.

At the same time, 20 Republican congressmen, members of AIPAC and led by House Speaker Mike Johnson, crisscrossed Israel, including the West Bank, a territory once considered the future Palestinian state, and now invaded by Israeli settlers supported by soldiers adept at summary executions of Palestinians. These Republican Party scum, largely Christian Zionists, deliberately included in their itinerary a Palestinian village whose inhabitants were driven out and invaded by settlers and their offspring. This was the first visit by a US government delegation, thus openly validating such practices. A delegation of Democratic congressmen is meanwhile preparing to land in Israel to demonstrate their total loyalty as soon as the Republicans leave. This happens systematically at every parliamentary recess.

It was a week full of fun and excitement, but one event stood out above all others. On Wednesday, Kristi Noem, the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security whom I call the "dog killer", announced the establishment of new conditions disbursement of the $1,9 billion in Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funds authorized by Congress in the next “big, beautiful” US budget. Let’s not forget that this money comes from taxpayers and is intended to alleviate the suffering of Americans affected by natural disasters. The Trump administration has now declared that states and cities will not receive FEMA funds if they decide to boycott or terminate all business relationships with Israeli companies or individuals. States and municipalities must now certify that they will not engage in a “prohibited discriminatory boycott,” meaning the refusal to trade, severance of business relationships, or other limitation of business relationships with Israeli companies, companies doing business in or with Israel, or companies authorized, licensed, or organized under the laws of Israel to do business with the Jewish state.

The condition imposed for the granting of these funds targets the international boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement, which calls for a global boycott of the State of Israel to protest the occupation of Palestine and the genocide perpetrated by the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip. Faced with the hostile reaction of voters, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) declared its intention to implement the boycott concerning Israel, "even in the absence of any Israel-related requirements in current FEMA funding notices. To date, no state has lost funding or had new conditions imposed».

DHS has written somewhat evasively about X :

«FEMA grants remain governed by applicable law and policy, not political considerations. DHS will enforce all anti-discrimination laws and policies, including those related to the BDS movement. expressly based on anti-SemitismThose who engage in racial discrimination do not deserve a single dollar of federal funding.».

In short, the Trump administration believes that Jews are always victims, even when they kill thousands of one-year-old babies. Whether a business or a political entity is concerned, it is now prohibited from taking any trade or investment action motivated by moral considerations. Similarly, a political leader with executive power cannot exercise freedom of expression or make decisions based on the actions of a foreign country, nor on such perceptions when it comes to Israel.

Being an American taxpayer who pays taxes to help their fellow citizens is irrelevant if Israel is involved. The special favor granted to Israel is unique. No other country enjoys such privileged status with the current US government. Beyond this federal decision, the pressure on the BDS movement is considerable, with laws already in effect in several states. This pressure comes from groups that, collectively, constitute the Israel/Jewish lobby. [AIPAC] and have worked for many years to favor Israel in every way possible. At least 36 U.S. states have passed laws banning or denying benefits and jobs to citizens who encourage boycotts of Israel in any form. In some states, applicants for employment or welfare must sign a legal document pledging not to call for boycotts, divestments, or sanctions against Israel or Israelis.

Americans would do well to ask themselves whether favoring a foreign country under the guise of corruption and manipulation is treason. Yet it undeniably is, and our leaders and policymakers, who have gone to such great lengths to promote Israel at the expense of the United States, may soon have to pay a heavy price for their maneuvering, because the tide is undoubtedly turning. Someone should share this information with Donald Trump and his cronies.
