Mercouris suspects Boris Johnson’s hand in drafting this plan. No way Z came up with this on his own. It reeks of the likes of Vindman and other permanent A/Z/Globalists. It is absolutely sickening the lengths these hoodlums will go to keep power and punish Russia.
As Judge Nap mentioned on his show with Jeffrey Sachs the other day, sitting next to a bloviating BoJo at his public appearance in Kiev last week was none other than... Mike Pompeo. If BoJo drafted the plan, it wouldn't be surprising if Mr. "We lie, we cheat, we steal" Pompeo had a hand in it.
Yes, and what’s being stolen is nothing less than, as Mark puts it, our “constitutional order.” It’s not enough for Net to buy us off; now we’re (hopefully not—-) about to hand over to a conniving, devious manipulator the keys to the kingdom?
Among the many objections I have to the BoJo, Pompeo mission is the fundamental fact that they simply lie.
It would be one thing if they could openly and transparently articulate a compelling rationale for war with Russia and a vision for the future which is in the undoubted interests of the people...who they (nominally) serve.
If the idea is actually to 'regain control of the American colonies', then just say so and explain why. Or tell us whatever the reasons are.
Let's have an open debate and hear the pros and cons of Anglo-Zionist Global Hegemony. Maybe there are not well understood security risks so acute that the only way to run the world is under the Western Rules Based Order. But I don't think so.
Excellent! I highly recommend this video to all your readers.
We all certainly need to discuss and better understand what 21st Century American 'democracy' means. As this video suggests, our current system is in no way 'democratic', at least as the term is popularly understood.
As has so often been the case since the preposterous Trump descended his golden escalator, over and over he exposes (intentionally or otherwise) the otherwise obscured realities of the political system we live in.
Of course, one of these realities is that the 'democracy' Mrs Clinton and others smugly tell us that Trump is threatening is no such thing.
Another apparent reality is that the historic American two party system is in the process of going down and the new reality will be a system defined by an 'emperor' and 'oligarchy' in opposition. This is the reality presented by the idea of Donald Trump.
Guess Trump has a higher chance of winning than the official narrative, if all these measures are being taken to cripple his options if elected President the third time.
"Our democracy" and "our Constitution" are available cafeteria style. As to Trump being Commander in Chief, he was never allowed to do that job. (Not that any Pres. necessarily is). Patrick Lawrence said in spring 2017, Trump publicly announced he was removing himself from oversight of the military, that they were doing a great job on their own. (Link posted below). Mr. Lawrence says that Trump noticed that the Pentagon ignored him so decided to make it look like his idea, ie, that military didn't need his approval. So he publicly gave "total authorization" to his military. It didn't get better. In Aug. 2017 congress removed Russia matters from him-virtually nullifying the 2016 election. Medvedev commented at the time (link below) that Trump had been humiliated, beaten by the Establishment, and there was now no hope of improved relations....

quite broadly to cover actions that have any ameliorative effect

congressional review is required for a waiver, “a licensing action that

In short, Congress gave itself a 30-day review period to vote down any changes Trump tries to make in terms of America’s foreign relations with Russia.

allowing the U.S. to sanction

Sorry, this bid for a secretariat is all very hilarious given the contents of the letter Cassander linked from "National Security Leaders 4 America", e.g. "Further, Mr. Trump denigrates our great country and does not believe in the American ideal that our leaders should reflect the will of the people." Signed, Hillary Rodham Clinton et al.
And these people do? That’s rich! What an utterly contemptible group of individuals. Oh, and apparently they don’t realize that we are a Constitutional Republic and not a democracy, but then I guess tyrants don’t really care about the little stuff.
Wait, I thought Klaus Schwab was going to be the evil dictator with the aid of his WEF outfit. You mean to tell me that attempt has already failed? I need an updated scorecard.
Good post Mark. Much insanity going around throughout the US/West. But not so in other parts of the world. The paradigm has changed, the West is just leaving the memo in the inbox while everyone else makes their own plans and moves on in the DIGITAL paradigm - meaning they know that globalism is dead, not to be resurrected, and they are harnessing Digital tech to move their civilizations/countries forward, while embracing the retrieval of their pre-modern spiritual/religions. So the “Anglo-Zionists” (those fighting for the old modern fantasies of British/US one world order) are not going to win. In fact, they have already lost, and they know it in their bones, thus why all the public screaming about mandating the old ways/narratives. The humans are not listening, and have consciously rejected modernity, so there is no going back. We won’t go along with it. Humpty has fallen off the wall…;) Constitutional “order” is barely in the way at this point (“parchment barrier”)…so there will be lots of talk about a new constitution, and it will happen.
America is not France (where everyone is a philosopher) so come the Trump victory, the real fun/war? How about a version of Ressourcement, across the globe and civilizations and religions?
I dont know what's more depressing: this fascist proposal, its embrace by at least some of the neocons running US foreign policy, or WaPo's insipid propaganda.
Calling Navalny Putin's "most formidable challenger" is ludicrous. He polled at about 1% and was on the CIA payroll. The biggest opposition party in Russia is the Communist Party.
Communist Party is by far "most formidable challenger." Yeltsin bombed Parliament in 1993 to get Commies out of the building...2021 Russia Pres. Election Results: Putin's party: 28 million, Commies: 10 million...Lib Dem: 4.2 million...etc....Navalny's problem is he didn't heed Kissinger's warning:..."To be America's enemy is dangerous, to be America's friend is fatal."
Stop Talking About 'Red Lines' & Let Ukraine Unleash Missiles On Russia, Denmark Urges NATO
What is it about tiny European countries becoming among the most outspoken hawks on Russia? The outsized rhetoric and threats against Moscow from small states like Latvia, Lithuania, or Estonia verges on little man syndrome. And now Denmark has joined them.
Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen on Monday called on the Western allies to immediately greenlight Kiev's use of donated missiles for long-range strikes against Russia.
There should be consequences for a government's actions. The greater the immediate correlation between the actions and their consequences the better. That is what a Republic and even a Democracy is based on. As it is, the Danes do not believe there are consequences, just as the Poles, and the Brits, and the Baltic states, and Europe as a whole do not believe in consequences. They no longer depend on the support of their populations because they could depend on Daddy Warbucks (the U.S.) and the façade of the EU for too long. Some of them are only just now waking up to the reality that Daddy doesn't have the money or materials or the public support to back them up any more. Same for the E.U. How tough for them and how tough for the "rules based order!" Now that they know, how far will they go to bankrupt their own peoples and themselves financially and morally? I guess we can ask Zelensky for the answer to that question.
I saw that today and thought, “ So Denmark has a death wish too”! It could have been because of how it was translated, but her attitude and remarks came across as pretty flippant and more than just a little cavalier. Doesn’t she realize that little countries like Denmark would be toast if these “red lines” for which she has no apparent regard are crossed? Utterly insane.
I was in Denmark 6 years ago and their politics are absolutely insane. And not just about Russia. Someone was touting the wind farm off shore and how Denmark would be free of fossil fuels in the year 2025(30? I don’t remember exactly). I laughed inside and told my wife these people are nuts. There is no way to support the population through winter this far north on wind and solar.

Yeah, well, BoJo and the Brits are looking to regain control of the American colonies by the back door.
How to say this?
Among the many objections I have to the BoJo, Pompeo mission is the fundamental fact that they simply lie.
It would be one thing if they could openly and transparently articulate a compelling rationale for war with Russia and a vision for the future which is in the undoubted interests of the people...who they (nominally) serve.
