Trump’s Authoritarian Vision article from the Los Angeles Times. –
http://www.latimes.com/projects/la-ed-trumps-authoritarian-vision/

“Standing before the cheering throngs at the Republican National Convention last summer, Donald Trump bemoaned how special interests had rigged the country’s politics and its economy, leaving Americans victimized by unfair trade deals, incompetent bureaucrats and spineless leaders.

He swooped into politics, he declared, to subvert the powerful and rescue those who cannot defend themselves. “Nobody knows the system better than me, which is why I alone can fix it.”

To Trump’s faithful, those words were a rallying cry. But his critics heard something far more menacing in them: a dangerously authoritarian vision of the presidency — one that would crop up time and again as he talked about overruling generals, disregarding international law, ordering soldiers to commit war crimes, jailing his opponent.

Trump has no experience in politics; he’s never previously run for office or held a government position. So perhaps he was unaware that one of the hallmarks of the American system of government is that the president’s power to “fix” things unilaterally is constrained by an array of strong institutions — including the courts, the media, the permanent federal bureaucracy and Congress. Combined, they provide an essential defense against an imperial presidency…”

When you look at what Trump does as opposed to what he says, a larger pattern of deception becomes clearer: How the Trump administration shot itself in the foot – again – over Muslim Ban 2.0, more on Trump’s dystopian budget, comparing Trump to Mussolini gives us lessons we can learn from historical fascism, Trump admits his campaign promises are lies, Paul Ryan tired of taking the blame on TrumpCare, the potential conflict of interest in defeating ISIS, Trump’s delusions on display with Merkel meeting, prompting another tweetstorm against ‘FAKE NEWS’ from our Presidential twit, using Trump’s words against him, on being a War President, Trump scandals foreshadowing other important News, more blow back coming for Trump voters that the majority of us will all pay for, CNN host attributes Trump’s success to ‘bullsh***ng, Justice Department purportedly close to giving up on Trump’s fraudulent wiretapping claims, Trump voter remorse is growing as more young Americans view Trump’s presidency as illegitimate and more.

White House finds someone who doesn’t think its budget is a joke. Oh, wait, actually… article from Yahoo! News. –
https://www.yahoo.com/news/white-house-finds-someone-who-doesnt-think-its-budget-is-a-joke-oh-wait-actually-173425402.html

“Beset on all sides by criticism of its budget proposal, the White House reached out for support Friday from an unlikely source, an opinion piece in the Washington Post.

The administration itself couldn’t have written a more glowing endorsement than the Thursday column by Alexandra Petri, entitled “Trump’s budget makes perfect sense and will fix America, and I will tell you why,” which begins by denouncing critics of the budget priorities as “wimps” and proceeds to the suggestion that teachers be replaced by F-35s wearing “Make America Great Again” hats.

Hence the link in the White House’s “1600 Daily” newsletter, which gives the administration’s take on the day’s news and is sent to anyone who signs up on the wh.gov website…”

Fabricated Fear and Fraudulent Follies

Leave a reply

Nearly 13 years after 9/11 — the greatest false flag ever carried out on U.S. soil with the help of an appointed war criminal President and his administration with total impunity — Washington has capitalized on manufacturing fear to conduct a plethora of fraudulent follies around the globe. After unleashing a multitude of illegal wars, including the never-ending “War on Terror,” which have proved to be massive failures, Washington has had to create a new enemy to try and scare Americans into submission to continue its illegal activities and as usual the fear-filled fallacies being spewed by Washington and its faithful minions in its Ministry of Propaganda are overblown. After all this time, all the blatant lies and deceptions, everything we’ve been through and all we have lost Americans still haven’t learned a thing.

Concocting another crisis while manufacturing more fear and creating a new enemy also serves to deflect attention away from Washington’s involvement in Israel’s war crimes in Gaza and the losing proposition in Ukraine where Washington illegally overthrew a democratically-elected government which is beginning to self-destruct. Blaming Russia for crimes that were actually committed by Washington and its crooked European Union cohorts is only part of the game and when evidence revealed that shooting down a civilian jetliner was actually a false flag committed by the neo-Nazi fascist regime illegally installed by Washington in Kiev, another crisis and more fear had to be manufactured to take attention away from Washington’s growing laundry list of failed criminal endeavors.

As anyone who has ever been exposed to a dangerous or life-threatening experience is fully aware, fear does not serve as a particularly useful emotion. It can paralyze you and destroy the confidence needed to survive and move forward and it can undermine the mental clarity required to make pertinent decisions while reducing you to a cowering, panic-stricken wretched wreck. Learning how to recognize and ignore it is essential to making informed decisions and survival. We have grown too accustomed to living in a state of terror conveniently constructed for us by our government in Washington. Recognizing which threats are real as opposed to the myriad of those invented by Washington’s criminal regime will go a long way towards ridding ourselves of the fabricated fear and the fraudulent follies once and for all.

TRUSTING WASHINGTON AFTER THE PAST 13 YEARS IS FOOLISH

If you look back at the past 13 years at all the so-called terror plots, the corporate corruption of our legal and justice systems, all the illegal actions and false flags attributable to the CIA or the U.S. Department of State, the illegal out-of-control surveillance and invasions of privacy of every American by the NSA, the chaotic legacy of the George W. Bush cabal’s illegal wars and role in the 9/11 false flags, the collusion with Wall Street by our corrupt leadership in Washington responsible for a financial crisis for which there has been no accountability that continues profiting the criminals responsible for it and no one else, the failure to prepare for climate change and now the illegal activities in Ukraine, Iraq, Gaza, Libya and soon Syria where Washington’s desired endgame is regime change, it becomes obvious that putting our trust in Washington to get us out of the crises it constantly and purposely creates would be profoundly foolish. There are real threats in the world and most of them involve our illicit government which is owned by corrupt corporations that continue profiting at our expense.

The Convenience of Creating Existential Enemies

Leave a reply

After the illegal invasion of Iraq in 2003 and the massive failure it proved to be, a new crisis has been created to further U.S. interests and ensure profitability for the U.S. Military-Industrial Complex and Big Oil under the guise of “humanitarian intervention.” Conveniently creating an existential enemy to further a fraudulent “War on Terror” while continuing its Imperial quest for world hegemony has become standard operating procedure for Washington. If you can’t find an enemy, create one. What we’re witnessing in Iraq today – as we did 11 years ago when constantly bombarded with the official U.S. propaganda and fear-mongering campaign – with overblown threats from an enemy created by Washington’s culture of corruption is the perfect example of how the U.S. government operates in the Middle East.

Killing more than a million Iraqi’s – by some estimates – and displacing five times more than that wasn’t enough for Washington and when Iraq forced the U.S. to leave we had to find a new way to go after its oil and resources. By creating a terror group to try and overthrow the regime in Syria that wouldn’t cooperate with their agenda, Washington has been able to use their terrorists as a reason to create a new “crisis” and take attention away from Israel’s illegal genocide in Gaza and Washington’s illegal endeavors in Ukraine after its illegal overthrow of the democratically-elected Ukraine government this past February. By fueling yet another U.S.-fabricated crisis in Iraq, Washington is able to continue fighting on multiple illegal fronts at the same time.

The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), or the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) as President Obama prefers to call them for obvious reasons, became National news in June of this year when they captured Mosul with little resistance from the Iraqi Military. There were nearly 350,000 soldiers in the Iraqi Army that basically turned over their guns and uniforms to 1,300 U.S.-created terrorists running under the ISIS flag. Within a couple of weeks the U.S.-created terrorists had captured other crucial parts of Northern and Western Iraq from the Iraqi Military. By the end of June ISIS had announced a Caliphate straddling the Iraq-Syria border.

CREATING TERRORISTS TO JUSTIFY THE ‘WAR ON TERROR’

The convenience of having an enemy like ISIS as a result of George W. Bush’s illegal invasion of Iraq in 2003 and of President Barack Obama’s decision to fund and train their new breed of terrorist to try and overthrow Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria is paying off for those who profit from endless crises such as this. The U.S. had help from its friends in the Arab world — Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait — in creating and funding ISIS which was trained in Turkey to unleash a new brand of terrorism to turn our attention back to the Middle East after failing to achieve the overthrow of the Assad regime in Syria. That attempt failed miserably despite all the weapons and training they received. One has to wonder, given Washington’s propensity for creating terrorists to justify its fraudulent “War on Terror,” how much and what we’re being told about ISIS by the U.S. media is true and how much of it is propaganda. Given Washington’s dubious history of deception, odds are everything we’re being told about ISIS is the latter.
