Who Knew What, When? When We Know That, We'll Know The Full Glory Of The American Experiment
We all know about the “weapons of mass destruction” lies, lies that have led to catastrophic—yes, I think that’s the right word—throughout much of the Middle East. Who knew those lies were lies, and when did they know it? Surely, before the invasion of Iraq. But there’s another story that we tend to forget that helped to demonize Saddam—not that he might not have been a demon, but it’s worth remembering the old saw about the devil you’ve got.
Here’s that story in tweets:
Right. No wonder the Establishment wants to keep Mearshimer buried—but his youtubes still get tens of millions of views.
Who knew? Who didn’t know—in the Deep State? You know that everyone at the top levels of NatSec, in the White House—they all knew. The real question is, who didn’t know, in general, in DC? How many senators knew, how many reps? I’d bet that lots did. That kind of stuff gets around. It’s all part of the Glory of the American Experiment. How do I know? This Fat **** (below) told us all—in public, for all the world to hear. Yes, this video clip is from years later, but if you think the lying, cheating, stealing only started recently … and on his Twitter profile he calls himself a “Christian”.
We were gullible. We believed. Never again.
How’s this for a narrative? Did little Tony go to one of those special schools Pompeo was talking about?
Pompeo and a lot of others—going WAY back—should be on trial for war crimes. They should at a minimum be shamed from public life.
But Pompeo hasn’t slunk away, off the world stage. Instead, he now wants to be POTUS—after helping do in a real POTUS. But some things never change. He still wants to start wars. What would you trust Pompeo for? Telling you the truth about National Security?
This is not to defend everything China has ever done. Nor everything that Russia has ever done. But we have—or thought we did—control over what we do, and over whether we’ll be honest with ourselves. And because we hold ourselves out as exceptionally better than everyone else.
People are starting to notice, starting to do some basic math—like, 1+1 = ? Some people are getting the right answer, and Elon Musk seems to be one of them.
Meanwhile on that other front …
True story: my urologist is a Republican member of Congress (not my district). Had an appointment with him last month. We’re shooting the shit about politics. You know who HE wants to be the GOP nominee? You guessed it: The same fat@$$ who bragged about the U.S. lying, cheating, and stealing.
We are so lucky. Imagine if these people were really brilliant, and they do control all of Washington. We wouldn't have a chance. They would even have convinced us that they were the good guys working in our favor. Instead they and their media cronies have lost us. And they can't even manage to make our lives even a tiny bit better.
