The massacre of children will continue, US Senator John Thune announced huge quantities of weapons for Israel, to get the job done:
"To Our Allies in Israel, and to the Jewish People Around the World, My message To you is this:
Reinforcements are on the way. In Six Weeks, Republicans Will Reclaim The Senate Majority, And We Will Make Clear That The United States Congress Stands Squarely In Israel's Corner."
Not even political: Zhou acting out of pure spite and malice to, once again, sabotage the Trump team. The door can’t hit him hard enough on his way out.
If we take a few steps back, and consider...Isn't it strange that enormous efforts ... almost unthinkable efforts ... are and will be deployed by various Western governments and the powers that be behind them ... to absolutely prevent Trump and Putin from achieving a global peace settlement of the intertwined wars which the West has provoked in Ukraine and the Middle East ... and around the rest of the World.
This seems to me to be unimaginably evil. There is no other way to describe it.
Yes, Cass, it is evil, but the Zionists have been outing themselves as THE evil around the world. Unfortunately for the USoA, we've been identified as their co-culprit and co-pariah. This post is reinforcing what many of the readers here have been saying for some time. We know what drives this conflict and who started it and why. The scramble for scarce resources that will enable a world hegemony that is not going to happen without a fight by countries who now may despise the USoA. Why do we do this? Many of the reasons were cited in this article.
But I would add that I tend to disagree ... somewhat ... with the conclusion you (and others on this site, including its administrator) seemingly express... that it is the Zionists (or the Jewish bankers) who are the root of all evil that has resulted in the precarious place the world finds itself in today.
I would not exculpate the bad guys among the 'Zionists' or the Zionist Project, but I find more of a confluence of intertwined evil from numerous (or maybe its innumerable) quarters ... perhaps all feeding upon each other...including, but without limitation, the US and global weapons industry aka the MIC, corrupt Western colonialists, profiteers and self-selected 'elites' of all stripes, the various powers behind large-scale efforts to control global energy and natural resources, 'true believer' Communists and numerous 'terrorist' groups, the power of US and Western intelligence forces which have taken on a life of their own, international and global criminal enterprise, such as the drug cartels, and plenty more.
So, Cass, a bit of snark this morning? The players in this game are in it together, but the leaders are unquestionably Zionists and the bankers. You know the old adage, "Follow the money." It leads to the very same people who have funded the chaos of not just the modern world, but even in the medieval world. Funny how a few billion dollars of tax payer money turns into Trillions for the key players. Who are "they" Cass? No, we can't just blame the Zionists as it takes two (or more) to create a world of chaos and decay, but unquestionably you follow the money for the "real" root cause.
"the conclusion you (and others on this site, including its administrator) seemingly express... that it is the Zionists (or the Jewish bankers) who are the root of all evil that has resulted in the precarious place the world finds itself in today."
I believe the "administrator" of this site has more nuanced view than that. I don't assert that Zionism and hatred for Russia are to be identified--in fact, I indicate a distinction. I consider Jewish animus toward Russia to be motivated by a desire for revenge for the historical treatment of Jews--which long predates the Zionist ideology as well as the Napoleonic wars.
The "administrator" reminds you that much of this history was recently addressed in:
I don't claim that any of this has been exhaustive. For example, I don't mention the role of Gentile sympathizers for Zionism in the US intel community--prominently James Jesus Angleton, but also others--who, at the very inception of the US Deep State, were instrumental in assisting Israel to obtain nukes. No doubt these men had "various stripes," but sympathy for Jewish grievances and for Zionism were prominent among them.
Are Zionists the root of all evil? The "administrator" made no such claim. Would the world be a different place--even a VERY different place--today BUT FOR the heavy Jewish influence over US foreign policy? That should be a totally non-controversial point, one that Sachs--an extremely knowledgeable person regarding post WW2 US foreign policy--makes. No lobby exerts quite the same influence as do the various lobbies associated with Jewish special interests. No doubt corporate lobbies of "various stripes" also exert great influence, but the overwhelming Jewish role in campaign finance is incontrovertible and is the single greatest lever for influence in US politics. Or maybe you heard Trump make repeated appeals to how much he loves Raytheon?
At the cost of sounding repetitive, is it not chasing shadows while the elephant sits, fat and happy, in the middle of the room? ‘Israel’, MI6, ‘the US’ - are these not simply tools on which we mistakenly focus with earnest debate as if they are the primal forces? I think we know they are not, and we need to refocus on the source of the evil, the great banking families, from soros-level on up.
Spot on, Mike! The source of wealth for these banking families is and has largely been war and the chaos that ensues and they profit from. Should it be top down or bottom up? Those we rely on to take care of our interests are looking out only for their own interests, we know that. The taking of donor cash to enact policies that benefit these banking families must be stopped. Who has the courage to make this change? We shall see.
Doctrow has a deep understanding of the spectrum of Russian thought. His site is a window into how the Russians actually think. Not just what academics think or Russian politicians, but the man in the street. His statement that the Russians may not stop until they get exactly what they want, is probably spot on. Reasons: (Russian POV)
a. Ukraine is our Mexico. WE do not want to accept any NATO or even EU/Amer influence here. We want a fully allied entity for a neighbor, otherwise we will not have a long term solution to our problem.
b. We sacrificed a lot of our young men in a conflict we did not want or need. Our goal is to honor their sacrifice and ensure, now and in the future, that this sacrifice was completely worth it.
c. We Russians are winning. Why stop now? What has the West to offer Russia: end sanctions, financing, or something else????...Russian reply.....You want us to trade honor for money and your supposed friendship? You must think we are stupid..
d. Why should we trust you? You lied and negotiated in bad faith with: Nato Expansion, Minsk 1&2, and Istanbul. So we are supposed to trust you now? Are you serious? We KNOW you hate us.
e. What are your guarantees? You have none. You unilaterally ended the ABM, treaty , INF treaty and JCPOA. Your politics are all transitory. Talking to you is like negotiating with the wind.
Therefore:
Getting a decent peace plan under such circumstances will be extreme difficult. With Donny having to fight the deep state...it will be next to impossible....... I guarentee,..... you will see it ...
"Trump is a Putin stooge. He is the 21st century Neville Chamberlin. Trump is a traitor to the West and our values.... "
Deep State will bring out all their "patriots" Milley , Keene, Mcraven, McCrystal and all the other slime ball former DoD, Mil, DoS , CIA and politicians to include everybody's sweetheart, Hillary, to denounce Trump.
Sadly ...The Russians have better outcome odds if they just press to the Moldavian border.
Wow! I wasn't aware of this Trump speech. I am elated to hear it as it is exactly what I would wish to hear from him. Doctorow is of course correct that Russia's position, aims, and needs MUST be accounted for... but Trump is a negotiator and a reasonable man so there is hope. Trump will be crucified in the mainstream/maniac press no matter what agreement with Russia might be reached. But peace is what must be the first priority and this speech indicates that Trump recognizes that.
I don't see "peace" as the priority. The priority is for the US to accept Russia as an equal. The "war" is over the fact that the US refuses to even talk to Russian officials, considers them subhuman garbage. For example, in a meeting, if a Russian official begins to speak, the Americans have been known to stand up en masse and leave the room. It's sickening. US bureaucrats have for at least a decade held serious meetings about how they'll carve up Russia and to whom they give the pieces. Never do they consider that polls, in particular the Levada poll, continue to show that the Russian people have a high regard for Mr. Putin. The Levada poll is even accepted by the NY Times and is funded in part by US regime change group NED--so it would be expected to be anti-Putin, but it isn't. The "architecture" Mr. Putin speaks of is that which has enslaved US taxpayers since WWII as set up by Pres. Truman.
Susan, thanks for your comments, and the detail on the poll. The USoA squandered the opportunity to create a climate of peaceful relations by first giving the Zionists free hand to destroy the weak and struggling post Soviet and emerging Russian state and then treating them with disrespect while creating a new boogeyman to hate with disinformation and deceitful propaganda painting Russians in the worst way. As noted by Doctorow and Sachs this has been a Jewish effort based on their thirst for revenge and greed. We can see the Russians have created a impressive design and manufacturing sector that has equipped them with powerful weapons, solidified their economy such that onerous sanctions are not succeeding in their intent and have mostly united their people and resurrected the Russian Orthodox church which is a spiritual force that provides tradition that the Russian people embrace. Yet we enabled the growth of what is now our chief economic rival and pushed them into accord with Russia. We are weak and growing weaker as we have put our people and country second and the Ukraine and Israel first.
Perhaps achieving “peace” could be the entrée to respectful and reciprocal relations with Russia? Trump casting “good relations” with the great Eurasian power (God knows, that’s treason!) as initially a peace initiative. Doctorow is right, we got the war we, a/k/a the Anglo-Zionist warlords, wanted by thumbing our noses at the outline of a new European security agreement, post-Soviet(!) proposed by Russia in Dec 21. Important for Trump to understand.
Wow, just wow, to Trump's clear-eyed assessment to how close we are to foolish, and utterly avoidable, nuclear conflict.
I wholeheartedly support his vision of peace. I believe that he has learned a lot from his first term. Praying that he doesn't prove me wrong. :)
A lot of people are surprised to learn that anti-Jewish feeling are quite prevalent in the Far East. For example:
