    The more dangerous America’s crackpot President becomes, the saner the world believes him to be. Just look back at the initial half of his first 100 days: the crazed tweeting, the lies, the fantasies and self-regard of this misogynist leader of the Western world appalled all of us. But the moment he went to war...

    Trump deeds good advice on running the government – he has some light weights working for him now. Trump deeds a grownup running things.

    If I were Trump I would get off the twitter and call James Baker for advice. The twitter worked for getting to the voters – clearly it is not working when it comes to running the government.

    Baker was the most competent politician in the last 35 years. Whatever he ran worked smoothly. He ran the White House for Reagan and the State Department for papa Bush. And did a fine job at both.

    Baker knows government – a phone call a day will make the White House work.

    Peace --- Art

    (How dumb is it having Kushner running the government – he knows NOTHING!)

    (Wake up – having 100 senators to the White House is amateur stuff – period.)

    Good advice.
    Get Baker on board.
    At least Baker won’t start WW3.

    "Moral impeccability" or "eminence", both cheap digs, have no bearing here, but, as I wrote, rational discussion is the point. Involvement of conspiracy theories simply unmoors any and all reason.

    Yes, conspiracy is nonexistent.
    Everybody and his neighbour is just plain open and honest.
    And reasonable (of course).

    Oh, I see Sam

    You're just way too morally impeccable to engage with anyone who claims a government conspiracy to use lied-about acts of terror to start wars.

    the sinking of the Main and the Gulf of Tonkin were one-offs, and anyone who believes that our CIA would lie!!! about a chemical attack by Assad, is.. well, just too far beyond the Pale for our Sammy here, eh?

    The idea that there exists a powerful London banker named Rothschild whose minions disavailed the Russian people of the burdens of her wealth and institutions- is simply such a humbug of delusion as to be beneath the irreproachable eminence of Sam Shama.

    I gotcha ;)

    I still do not see Trump as a crackpot.
    Though I'm not sure about his ideas I still hope that he will end USA militarism, not because out of moral ideas, but because he sees, and his rich friends, that pursuing the goal of USA world hegemony will, or has already, ruined the USA.

    The attack on Syria, and his warlike talk about N Korea, hogwash to confuse Deep State, and to satisfy his voters.
    The Dutch professor Laslo Maracs, university of Amsterdam, explains all this eloquently, alas only in Dutch, as far as I know.

    And my hope still is that Trump will prevent NATO and EU war on Russia, the war that indeed will end al wars, as already Wilson wanted, because this war will end all human life.
    How it then ends is well described in the novel On the Beach, Neville Shute, 1953, the New Zealand government distributing suicide pills when the radio active dust reaches the island.

    Sorry Rurik, the avenue for rational discussion closes rapidly when credence is extended to conspiracy theories. The reason is simple; you can shape the conspiracy (e.g. Sandy, Boston or Rothschild) to suit any fable you wish to promote.

    Now Sam, while I do agree that Sandy Hook was a ruse, just like the Boston bombing and 9/11 and 7/7 (and every other false flag where they were running drills for just such an event at the time of the "attack") I will agree that Jones is a bit of a charlatan and hyperbolic, but that doesn't mean that just because it's Jones saying it, that it's prima facie wrong.

    are you suggesting that Rothschild had nothing to do with the Jewish oligarchs that looted Russia's wealth and then turned them into some of the wealthiest men in the world overnight?

  • I tire of effete snobs adopting the manner of disapproving old women scolding men for misogyny; by which they mean doing things of which unhappy women disapprove.

    I have news; women for whom disapproving is a way of life disapprove of everything men do. Try to fuck them; they disapprove. Don’t try to fuck them; they disapprove.

    Thing is, men don’t work for the approval of women who give out participation trophies.

    Oh, it is Alex Jones explaining it "succinctly"!

    Why of course no need for further explanations. I mean how does one refute a man who "proved" the CA drought an EPA hoax with farmers pumping out good water into the ocean, and Sandy Hook a govt conspiracy.

    Thank you indeed.

    Now Sam, while I do agree that Sandy Hook was a ruse, just like the Boston bombing and 9/11 and 7/7 (and every other false flag where they were running drills for just such an event at the time of the “attack”) I will agree that Jones is a bit of a charlatan and hyperbolic, but that doesn’t mean that just because it’s Jones saying it, that it’s prima facie wrong.

    are you suggesting that Rothschild had nothing to do with the Jewish oligarchs that looted Russia’s wealth and then turned them into some of the wealthiest men in the world overnight?

    Sorry Rurik, the avenue for rational discussion closes rapidly when credence is extended to conspiracy theories. The reason is simple; you can shape the conspiracy (e.g. Sandy, Boston or Rothschild) to suit any fable you wish to promote.

    the 'he' is metaphorical, but you can call it the House of Rothschild.

    but it encompasses all the class-A stockholders of the Fecal Reserve Bank.

    they're not all Jewish to be sure, but Rothschild is their patron saint

    for instance, when Russia was looted during the 90s by the "Russian" (mostly Jewish) oligarchs during the Yeltsin debacle, someone pointed out that the oligarchs who had looted Russia were Rothschild agents, and Rothschild sued in court and lost.

    [Gold was an objective value, an equivalent of wealth produced]
     
    Prove it.
     
    I don't have to Sam. Any idiot can tell you that gold has an objective value. Has since the beginning of time. Duh.

    In a famine, you have all the gold and I have all the grain. Which one is wealth?
     
    that's a lifeboat hypothetical. You could take it one further and include guns and ammunition. If you have all the grain, but I have all the guns and ammo, when which one is wealth?
    {ask the Kulaks about that one Sam}

    Gold is intrinsically a worthless metal;
     
    Jesus Christ Sam, thou doth protest too much. Gold has been of coveted value for thousands upon thousands of years. It's even been worshiped for its unique and beautiful characteristics.

    Even today, in spite of relentless efforts of Rothschild and co. (the Fed) to use ETFs to short its value on the commodity exchanges, it still will cost you over a thousand Fecal Reserve Notes to purchase an ounce.


    valuable as a policy instrument only when a sufficiently large populace considers it so.
     
    and the Fecal Reserve Note? That piece of intrinsically worthless paper, (unless you're out camping and forgot the TP) has a value other than what people are fooled into thinking it does?

    And it doesn't have to be gold Sam. Just a commodity that Rothschild can't conjure into existence on a whim. Something that controls for the inflation of its proliferation and the deflation of its value. Back in the day, the alchemists tried to turn lead into gold. Today Rothschild has managed to turn paper into gold. Or, even better yet, digital binary bits on his computer- into gold. All he has to do is hit a few keys on his computer, and *poof*, there's three trillion dollars to loan out to his buddies in the ECB or Asian central banks on a whim.

    And he's unaccountable to every branch of our fecal government, from the president to congress. He does whatever he likes with our money, and creates as much as he feels is necessary to impose his id upon the planet, and that's that.

    We should coin our own money and tell the private bankers to fuck off. We owe them nothing, and if they don't slink away quietly, then we'll use more drastic measures to exact justice for a hundred years of theft, treachery and perfidy.

    Hey Che,

    It is dirty hippy material, but it is fun.
     
    sounds good to me

    I took a quick look at it- sounds like a cross between Hunter Thompson's Fear and Loathing.. with something from David Icke.

    I've read most of Rand's stuff when I was young, and I confess to liking some of it, but I was never a 'Randian' or 'Objectivist', as I found her philosophy flawed and contradictory.

    But there were some things she said that I did like very much.

    "Whenever destroyers appear among men, they start by destroying money, for money is men's protection and the base of a moral existence. Destroyers seize gold and leave to its owners a counterfeit pile of paper. This kills all objective standards and delivers men into the arbitrary power of an arbitrary setter of values. Gold was an objective value, an equivalent of wealth produced. Paper is a mortgage on wealth that does not exist, backed by a gun aimed at those who are expected to produce it. Paper is a check drawn by legal looters upon an account which is not theirs: upon the virtue of the victims. Watch for the day when it bounces, marked: 'Account Overdrawn.'"


    Protocols... ...malicious fake are on very shallow foundations.
     
    I agree Che. I don't think it matters much whether or not the Protocols were a fraud. When you read them, they read like a template that has been in effect for at least a century now. Perhaps much longer. What I find particularly troubling about them is the way they speak so contemptuously about the 'beast-like minds of the goyim' never really being capable of comprehending the Elder's treachery. Like the goyim are too thick and bovine to see what's right in front of their faces. That part I struggle with because it just seems too true for comfort.

    but I do not see any sense in ideas that they have some solo supevillain role.
     
    the supper-villain role boils down to control of the money. By being in control of the money (credit, interest rates, supply, etc..), they're able to control just about everything else. And then you combine that with their (Khazar / Judaism) ancient proclivities towards uber-tribalism, ethnocentrism and Old Testament hatred for surrounding tribes and the mandate to suppress, loot, enslave and then genocide them all, and you get what we've got today. Jews are not an evil people, but they're all raised to always consider 'what's best for the Jews'. And so they don't get memos about 'don't encourage conspiracies about what happened on 9/11, because it might not be 'good for the Jews', rather they just intuitively know things. Like the destruction of Saddam's Iraq was 'good for the Jews', because they allow men like Bibi to act as sort of 'king of the Jews, and they all fall in line. Ask most Jews if getting rid of Saddam Hussein was a good thing, and most of them (even the liberals and reform Jews) will answer in the affirmative.

    IMHO

    thanks for the heads up on the books. I'll look for them now.

    In a digital economy, you have all the gold and I have all microchips which run the computers. Which one is wealth?

    Gold is intrinsically a worthless metal; valuable as a policy instrument only when a sufficiently large populace considers it so. As a monetary standard, it is insufficient; even Murray Rothbard, notable economist of the Austrian school understood this, leading him to endorse monetary expansion independent of gold, as the appropriate policy for the 1920s economy.

    "There are no realpolitik interests in Gaza..."
    Because the illegally occupied Gazans are defenseless, like dwellers of the former ghettos in Europe?
    By the way, why are you taking everything personally in my posts and then insert some cheap childish insults into every response-comment, instead of answering point by point to the documented facts?
    One of the main points of my posts is the congruence of ziocons' policies in the Middle East with Oded Yinon plan. Another point is the incongruence of Israelis' pretense on being in possession of superior morality (this one always goes with references to Holocaust) in the context of the extraordinary influence of Israel-firsters on making military decision by the US/NATO in the Middle East. You have been steadily avoiding these two points, as if you have some case of cognitive blindness. Though to be fair, you did utter something about realpoitic (moral relativism, in other words) being factored in Israel's policies. But if you recognize this relativism, then your tribe should stop pestering Germans, reminding them again and again about their guilt. It is over. Israel's policies, beginning with the open terrorism in the 30-s and 40-s and up to the promoting the ongoing slaughter in the Middle East, have already concealed any pretense on victimhood. Whether in Europe, damaged by the influx of refugees from the ME and of low-IQ migrants from sub-Saharan Africa, or in the US, irritated by the price for the illegal wars in the ME, the citizenry is taking on a rather sour attitude towards the Lobby and other Friends of Israel. The floods of refugees (of various kinds) make a point for the populace. The cause of the wars and the Israel-firsters' efforts towards initiating these wars have been under discussion. The Israel-firsters love their mythological fatherland so much that they put the well-being of their countries of residence second to Israel. Not good for national policies.

    There are no points in this post I haven’t rapiered in the past, and they are in the archives; the only novelty, pitiable and new-found, in the form of a pseudo-knowledgeable assertion of “low IQ sub-Saharan immigrants” doesn’t deserve any lengthy rejoinder, only laughter.

    Hey Che,

    I would assign the highest probability, for ZOG USA, to the confrontation with Nth. Korea just being a shadow-play aimed at Iran.
     
    I just read something from one of the commenters here (Kiza) that the saber-rattling at DPRK is a less than oblique threat to Russia and China, as the need for Rothschild, et al- to exercise absolute and unilateral domination of the entire planet is growing to an event horizon type imperative. (I'm not quoting, but I think that's the gist)

    and that's as good of an analysis as I've seen yet, and it's consistent with everything I know about human nature and history and everything I know about Rothschild, et al

    Hello Rurik.

    Have you read the Illuminatus! trilogy? I have, twice, once before and once after struggling through Anna Rosenbaum’s Atlas Shrugged.

    It was better the second time, because it is partly a parody of Ayn Rand.

    It is dirty hippy material, but it is fun.

    All of these ideas, the Rothschilds, the Brit. Royal family, etc. do it all, they work even less than the Protocols of the Elders, which seems to be a template for reality, and the claims for it to just to being malicious fake are on very shallow foundations.

    Sure, I have no doubt that the Rothschild clan is mainly evil, but I do not see any sense in ideas that they have some solo supevillain role.

    If you have not read the book(s), it was originally published in three, I recommend, it should make you laugh at times.

    My strong objections are against USA society as a system, that allows a tiny minority to run foreign policy at their pleasure, at the cost, expense and blood of others, USA citizens and far more foreign citizens.
     
    I can't argue with that Jilles

    and you're right about the general ignorance and bovine stupidity of most Americans, but that has been very carefully created by the PTB, who don't want an educated, thinking populace.

    what was it papa Bush said?

    "if the American people knew what we have done, they would string us up from the lamp posts"

    if the American people could think, the results would be the same. If the American people could think and were in possession of a moral soul, then they'd know that wars based on lies should be repudiated and the war criminals brought to justice. But the American sheople have been systematically dumbed down to the point of zombies, infatuated with Kim Kardashian's ass. Today Idiocracy is a reality. It's true.

    But, let me just say on behalf of Americans, that I don't really see it any better across the pond. Sure, the Europeans are better educated, and generally speak at least two languages, and have heard of Yalta and Copernicus, but with all that education, they just don't seem to me to be any more principled or moral than the zombified Americans.

    Sure, it is the US military that is the biggest bully on the block, but does that excuse the other little bullies that stand behind him and give him moral support? There were French jets bombing Libya just as ferociously as any American ones. The Brits have never seen an act of aggression from the US military that they don't reverently applaud. And the Germans, whose government goes along with every war crime America commits in principle, are today complicit in a racial supremacist, genocidal holocaust against a completely innocent victim whose only crime is that they existed - in Palestine, on land that some Jewish supremacist coveted for themselves.

    The irony? That these very same Germans feel excruciating and debilitating guilt for a crime that they had nothing to do with, while at the same time facilitating the same crime of genocide today, in their names, by funding and arming and providing "moral" cover for the Zionists.

    So sure, Europeans are far more educated, but seem to fall very short when it comes to using that education to augment a moral foundation for their actions and the actions of their respective governments. There seems to me to be a sort of all-pervasive cowardice in Western Europe, and a Pavlovian, knee-jerk propensity to wallow in prostrate abasement and self-flagellate as soon as anyone says "Holocaust". Sort of what they used to be able to bludgeon Americans with by the pejorative "racist", until it became a joke.

    Anyways, yes, we're ignorant, and bovine and dangerous, but morally, I just don't see too many paragons of virtue or honor to hold up as examples today. Uruguay perhaps, and I would include Putin's Russia insofar as he's trying to put out the fires the Zio-Western-fiend is lighting all over the place, but then he too bolsters their agenda by antagonizing the former Soviet satellite states with ultra-nationalistic chest thumping over the "great war", (that the Bolsheviks in Russia were mainly responsible for). Note to Putin, let it rest! The great victory that you celebrate in May was a catastrophe for Eastern Europe (and millions of Russians too)

    sorry, I tend to rant at times..

    "This is overwhelmingly what Israel is doing there."
    Then why had not the Israelis’ medics followed their “moral values” and rushed to save Palestinian children when the “most moral “ IDF had been slaughtering the tightly-packed civilian population in Israel-occupied Gaza? http://gaza.ochaopt.org/2015/06/key-figures-on-the-2014-hostilities/:
    “Of the Palestinian fatalities, 551 were children and 299 women. 11,231 Palestinians were injured including 3,436 children and 3,540 women, 10 percent of whom suffer permanent disability.” Again, why the Israelis risk their lives to save ISIS “freedom fighters?”
    As for Israel’s collaboration with ISIS, there are other links:
    http://russia-insider.com/en/politics/israel-and-isis-are-allies-there-we-said-it/ri19708
    The collaboration explains this revelation: "ISIS Apologized To Israel For Attacking IDF Soldiers" http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-04-28/isis-apologized-israel-attacking-idf-soldiers
    "You can assume that these terrorists are fighting for Israel. If they aren't part of the regular Israeli army, they're fighting for Israel. Israel has common goals with Turkey, the United States, France, Britain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other countries,” Ynet quoted Assad…” Sounds logical.

    On your sweet morsel of moral relativism: "...what you twist and label a collaboration, is the realpolitik behind Israel’s work in this regard..."
    For some time, the state of Israel was hailed as a “moral” project. Here is one of the minor facts to dispel the nonsense: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jul/20/israelis-cheer-gaza-bombing
    “Israelis sit on a hill to watch air strikes on Gaza, some bring drinks and snacks as they cheer the explosions a few miles away.” Never again, in short.
    Meanwhile the warmongering Kagans’ clan has got into collaboration with neo-Nazis:
    http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-u-s-has-installed-a-neo-nazi-government-in-ukraine/5371554 https://consortiumnews.com/2015/03/20/a-family-business-of-perpetual-war/
    http://www.voltairenet.org/article182892.html
    Here is an Israeli citizen who was involved in financing the neo-Nazis thugs that burned the scores of civilians alive in Odessa. The ziocons-run Wall Street Journal wrote a flattering article on the bloody Kolomojsky who also used to be a leader of Jewish community in Ukraine: https://www.rt.com/news/159168-kiev-businessman-massacre-mariupol/
    Not a peep from Israel and the “righteous” Jewish organizations, which invoke the memory of Holocaust to nick any criticism of Israel, but which are dead silent in the case of ziocons' collaboration with neo-Nazis. Your post calls this “realpolitic.” Nothing to look at... Though, how much have Jewish victims of WWII extracted from Germany for "moral sufferings and more?"

    Israel has a free press in which a great deal of speculation is tolerated, even welcomed. I haven't seen any articles in any of the major journals, or even in the smaller ones, where Daesh is described as a collaborator.

    To Israeli society's credit, humour is a normal and common enjoyment, in which spirit, some skits produced - Eretz Nehderet being the most prominent one - portray a darkly humourous relationship between Israeli doctors [and IDF medical corps] and Daesh operating in the Golan.

    So, Israeli med corps will, as modern protocol demands, aid any and all injured.

    It also has apartheid, land theft, a large concentration camp called Gaza, extrajudicial murders, crazy fundamentalist psycho settlers, supporters like you, amoral gambler supporters all over the US, etc., etc.

    The usual dribblings.

    You manage to get the Kagans inserted in there somehow, although miss Nudelman (is that it?).

    Reading your posts are similar to tolerating the tiresome, repetitive adverts which plague television these days, mostly peddling shaky pharmaceuticals. You ought to end or preface each with the usual disclaimers on side effects, which in this case are mostly benign and somnambulic in effect.

    As to Gaza, I only remark that rocket attacks on Sderot will elicit a response; so that the cure is simple: stop the rockets.

    As to realpolitik, my comment pertained to ISIS in Syria; that Israel does what she can to prevent the lunatics from sending rockets to Northern Israel. But feel free to twist it to your heart's content and somehow link it to ....Gaza!! There are no realpolitik interests in Gaza; do get that through your head.

    “There are no realpolitik interests in Gaza…”
    Because the illegally occupied Gazans are defenseless, like dwellers of the former ghettos in Europe?
    By the way, why are you taking everything personally in my posts and then insert some cheap childish insults into every response-comment, instead of answering point by point to the documented facts?
    One of the main points of my posts is the congruence of ziocons’ policies in the Middle East with Oded Yinon plan. Another point is the incongruence of Israelis’ pretense on being in possession of superior morality (this one always goes with references to Holocaust) in the context of the extraordinary influence of Israel-firsters on making military decision by the US/NATO in the Middle East. You have been steadily avoiding these two points, as if you have some case of cognitive blindness. Though to be fair, you did utter something about realpoitic (moral relativism, in other words) being factored in Israel’s policies. But if you recognize this relativism, then your tribe should stop pestering Germans, reminding them again and again about their guilt. It is over. Israel’s policies, beginning with the open terrorism in the 30-s and 40-s and up to the promoting the ongoing slaughter in the Middle East, have already concealed any pretense on victimhood. Whether in Europe, damaged by the influx of refugees from the ME and of low-IQ migrants from sub-Saharan Africa, or in the US, irritated by the price for the illegal wars in the ME, the citizenry is taking on a rather sour attitude towards the Lobby and other Friends of Israel. The floods of refugees (of various kinds) make a point for the populace. The cause of the wars and the Israel-firsters’ efforts towards initiating these wars have been under discussion. The Israel-firsters love their mythological fatherland so much that they put the well-being of their countries of residence second to Israel. Not good for national policies.

    Hello Rurik.

    Having thought about it, there are a few, but I will not list the others.

    The real and plausible threat (anybody knowing about the effects of nuclear weapons will know about the effects of US stratospheric tests of megaton weapons in the early '60s and understand) is beyond the technical capabilities of the DPRK.

    Their atomic bombs, on seismic data, are all damp fizzers. They don't have the lift to do maximum economic damage, either.

    They do seem to have the capacity to sink an attacking carrier battle group or two with conventional weapons.

    I would assign the highest probability, for ZOG USA, to the confrontation with Nth. Korea just being a shadow-play aimed at Iran.

    I vaguely recall the Izzy government being good buddies with DPRK.

    Will add one digression that is of interest, in old, turn-of-last century photos of party conferences in the DPRK, several officials in military uniform are cleary from former Warsaw Pact places, or from the USSR, but I have never seen an article to mention it.

    Hey Che,

    I would assign the highest probability, for ZOG USA, to the confrontation with Nth. Korea just being a shadow-play aimed at Iran.

    I just read something from one of the commenters here (Kiza) that the saber-rattling at DPRK is a less than oblique threat to Russia and China, as the need for Rothschild, et al- to exercise absolute and unilateral domination of the entire planet is growing to an event horizon type imperative. (I’m not quoting, but I think that’s the gist)

    and that’s as good of an analysis as I’ve seen yet, and it’s consistent with everything I know about human nature and history and everything I know about Rothschild, et al

    Hello Rurik.

    Have you read the Illuminatus! trilogy? I have, twice, once before and once after struggling through Anna Rosenbaum's Atlas Shrugged.

    It was better the second time, because it is partly a parody of Ayn Rand.

    It is dirty hippy material, but it is fun.

    All of these ideas, the Rothschilds, the Brit. Royal family, etc. do it all, they work even less than the Protocols of the Elders, which seems to be a template for reality, and the claims for it to just to being malicious fake are on very shallow foundations.

    Sure, I have no doubt that the Rothschild clan is mainly evil, but I do not see any sense in ideas that they have some solo supevillain role.

    If you have not read the book(s), it was originally published in three, I recommend, it should make you laugh at times.

    “Of the Palestinian fatalities, 551 were children and 299 women. 11,231 Palestinians were injured including 3,436 children and 3,540 women, 10 percent of whom suffer permanent disability.” Again, why the Israelis risk their lives to save ISIS “freedom fighters?”

    N. Korea does not threaten America or our interests. If anything, it threatens its neighbors. And if so, then our trading partner China could effectively deal with it.

    the only reason N. Korea is in the crosshairs is because somehow Israel considers it a threat

    Take e.g., the Daily Mail article you deposited, apparently a bolster for you claim. The Mail piece headlines say:


    Saving their sworn enemy: Heartstopping footage shows Israeli commandos rescuing wounded men from Syrian warzone - but WHY are they risking their lives for Islamic militants?
    ++ Elite Israeli troops rescue wounded Syrians from the world's worst war almost every night

    ++They have saved more than 2,000 people since 2013, at a cost of 50 million shekels (£8.7million)

    ++Many are enemies of Israel and some may even be fighters for groups affiliated to Al Qaeda

    ++MailOnline embedded with Israeli commandos stationed on the border between Israel and Syria

    ++Dramatic video filmed by MailOnline and the Israeli army shows these operations taking place

    ++Israel says that the operation is purely humanitarian but analysts believe Israel also has strategic reasons

     

    Go on, read the whole damned article. Take it from one of the victims, Ahmed, treated by IDF medical corps:

    This is overwhelmingly what Israel is doing there. At most, what you twist and label a collaboration, is the realpolitik behind Israel's work in this regard, to form an alliance of convenience, such that rockets are not launched into Israel, especially in the North. And why shouldn't she?

    You start your post, as usual, by instructing me to be more diligent in my readings.

    Anyone who wants to stage a preemptive nuclear attack wouldn't say so beforehand. No-one can come up with a scenario in which Britain would ever first use nukes, so refusing to rule it out is simply the practice of confronting potential aggression with uncertain consequences though being slow to say what you will do, and never saying what you won't.

    Lets be clear: the British nukes are out in subs and if they got the coded order to fire off a first use strike (for some reason we cannot yet imagine) the Trident captain and crew would obey the command. Any statement to the contrary made by some politician on BBC radio years before is going to be bloody irrelevant.

    Sean,
    I think you are underestimating the utter evil and horror of such a pronouncement which is an act of war and terrorism that is and has been standard operating practice of the British Empire. There are two operative words at play “Gunboat Diplomacy” where the emphasis is upon a canon in the face. Boom Baboom, but that’s not gunpowder, nor iron ball, but a big flash of a sun exploding…

    But there are those who think they can have a limited nuclear war
    And “The Bitch Set Him Up!”

    Israel has a free press in which a great deal of speculation is tolerated, even welcomed. I haven't seen any articles in any of the major journals, or even in the smaller ones, where Daesh is described as a collaborator.

    To Israeli society's credit, humour is a normal and common enjoyment, in which spirit, some skits produced - Eretz Nehderet being the most prominent one - portray a darkly humourous relationship between Israeli doctors [and IDF medical corps] and Daesh operating in the Golan.

    So, Israeli med corps will, as modern protocol demands, aid any and all injured.

    You should be more diligent in your search. Israel has been cooperating with ISIS and the Israeli generals have loudly proclaimed their preference for ISIS over sovereign Syria.

    You remind me of someone I can't quite remember this moment, flitting hither and thither, the busy little bee, nary a thought to what they are actually reading.

    Take e.g., the Daily Mail article you deposited, apparently a bolster for you claim. The Mail piece headlines say:


    Saving their sworn enemy: Heartstopping footage shows Israeli commandos rescuing wounded men from Syrian warzone - but WHY are they risking their lives for Islamic militants?
    ++ Elite Israeli troops rescue wounded Syrians from the world's worst war almost every night

    ++They have saved more than 2,000 people since 2013, at a cost of 50 million shekels (£8.7million)

    ++Many are enemies of Israel and some may even be fighters for groups affiliated to Al Qaeda

    ++MailOnline embedded with Israeli commandos stationed on the border between Israel and Syria

    ++Dramatic video filmed by MailOnline and the Israeli army shows these operations taking place

    ++Israel says that the operation is purely humanitarian but analysts believe Israel also has strategic reasons

     

    Go on, read the whole damned article. Take it from one of the victims, Ahmed, treated by IDF medical corps:

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3315347/Watch-heart-pounding-moment-Israeli-commandos-save-Islamic-militants-Syrian-warzone-risking-lives-sworn-enemies.html

    The casualties lavished praise on Israel:

    'I will not fight against Israel in the future. Israel looks after wounded people better than the Arabs. The Arabs are dogs,' said a wiry rebel fighter who gave his name as Ahmed, 23, who was recovering from a gunshot wound to the groin.
     

    This is overwhelmingly what Israel is doing there. At most, what you twist and label a collaboration, is the realpolitik behind Israel's work in this regard, to form an alliance of convenience, such that rockets are not launched into Israel, especially in the North. And why shouldn't she?

    I have no hostility whatsoever against the USA people in general.
    Several offered me hospitality in their homes.

    What struck me each time was the igorance, the lack of information.
    Local tv is just stupid advertising.
    None of my hosts watched serious tv news, nowhere did I see a serious paper, just something local about engagements, weddings and funerals.

    One of my hosts I presented with the book of Anne Applebaum From West to East, I think the title was, she travelled from the Baltic sea to the Black see.
    He read it, had never realised about so many peoples.
    Even a well traveled more or less well known American I found very ignorant, who reads Readers Digest ?

    A Berkeley assistant professor asked me what I knew about the Civil War, at the time, end of the seventies, very little, but when I explained to him that Europe had been wars galore, so why would I know much about an American war, he was shocked.

    My strong objections are against USA society as a system, that allows a tiny minority to run foreign policy at their pleasure, at the cost, expense and blood of others, USA citizens and far more foreign citizens.
    The death rate American soldiers against foreign casualties was calculated by Anatol Lieven as one to fifty.

    On Okinawa is was 7000 USA soldiers against 100.000 Japanese soldiers and 40.000 civilians.

    Being a social democrat it abhors me that the USA always has abundant money for death and destruction but seems incapable of providing decent affordable health care for all its citizens;

    Your conception of American health care is incorrect. Yes, there are flaws, but ANYONE can walk into an American hospital emergency room and they will be treated REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. Even illegal aliens will be treated…
    Patients in countries with “socialized medicine” quite often, have interminable wait times for procedures that are routine here in the USA. Even Canada, our neighbor to the north, has problems with timely availability of services. Canada has first-rate medical personnel, who have to work under the constraints of a public system.
    It is interesting to note, that in most countries with “socialized medicine” there is a two-tier system of treatment…those with private health insurance (or money) can (and do) get better treatment than those who depend on the “public system”.
    In addition, there are life saving drugs that are unavailable in the public system as they are considered “too expensive”…
    Witness Great Britain’s “National Health Service” (NHS) with its NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence), which refuses to pay for certain breast cancer drugs, deeming them to be “too expensive”. One could argue that NICE is a “death panel” relegating those who are unfortunate enough to need care relegated to death.
    Go outside the NHS system to pay for your own care, and the door closes and locks behind you. “NHS has invoked a policy of refusing care altogether to patients who, often upon physician recommendation, choose to pay out-of-pocket for best-available drug treatments”.
    A breast cancer patient in the UK “Found that out the hard way when she tried to buy Avastin out of her own pocket, only to have her doctor inform her that if she did so, she would have to pay for all her treatment.” Yet she has been paying income taxes of 20 to 45 percent for her “government provided free healthcare”.
    American health care needs improvement, but socializing it is not the answer…

    If you can read German, I can recommend it.
    He was the brother of the 1938 Chamberlain, had a strange youth, attended gymnasia in different European countries.
    He was flabbergasted how the same history was taught differently in different countries.

    I long ago wrote a USA correspondent how European countries considered waging war over the Monroe Doctrine.
    The reply was 'it is still taught here in glowing terms', well, in Europe it was seen as colonialism, as many in S America feel they're still under the USA colonial yoke.
    Eduardo Galeano, 'Open Veins of Latin America', Five centuries of the pillage of a continent', 1971, 2009, Londen.

    Your Civil War, for the liberation of slaves.
    My knowledge is from different books, and of course there were people concerned with slavery.
    But the real reasons were quite different, destroying a cosmopolitan culture in the south, quite different from the NE, for NE hegemony over the whole USA, and demand for industrial labour, slavery does not work in factories.
    The liberated slaves soon found out that they often were worse off, especially in old age, at the plantations they could stay until their deaths.

    Egad! Houston Stewart Chamberlain was a neurotic character. I haven’t read his Grundlagen, but Shirer’s description of it is sufficient. Chamberlain wrote in spurts, gripped by a demonic fervour; he says so in his autobiography, Lebenswege, that he was often unable to recognise them as his own work because they surpassed his expectations!

    French scholar of Germanism Edmond Vermeil said Chamberlain’s ideas were essentially ”shoddy.”

    Here is Shirer:

    [MORE]

    This son of an English admiral, nephew of a British field marshal, Sir Neville Chamberlain, and of two British generals, and eventually son-in-law of Richard Wagner, was born at Portsmouth in 1855. He was destined for the British Army or Navy, but his delicate health made such a calling out of the question and he was educated in France and Geneva, where French became his first language.

    Between the ages of fifteen and nineteen fate brought him into touch with two Germans and thereafter he was drawn irresistibly toward Germany, of which he ultimately became a citizen and one of the foremost thinkers and in whose language he wrote all of his many books, several of which had an almost blinding influence on Wilhelm II, Adolf Hitler and countless lesser Germans.

    In 1870, when he was fifteen, Chamberlain landed in the hands of a remarkable tutor, Otto Kuntze, a Prussian of the Prussians, who for four years imprinted on his receptive mind and sensitive soul the glories of militant, conquering Prussia and also – apparently unmindful of the contrasts – of such artists and poets as Beethoven, Goethe, Schiller andWagner. At nineteen Chamberlain fell madly in love with Anna Horst, also a Prussian, ten years his senior and, like him, highly neurotic. In 1882, at the age of twenty-seven, he journeyed from Geneva, where he had beer, immersed for three years in studies of philosophy, natural history, physics, chemistry and medicine, to Bayreuth. There he met Wagner who, as he says, became the sun of his life, and Cosima, the composer’s wife, to whom he would remain passionately and slavishly devoted all the rest of his days. From 1885, when he went with Anna Horst, who had become his wife, to live for four years in Dresden, he became a German in thought and in language, moving on to Vienna in 1889 for a decade and finally in 1909 to Bayreuth, where he dwelt until his death in 1927.

    He divorced his idolized Prussian wife in 1905, when she was sixty and even more mentally and physically ill than he (the separation was so painful that he said it almost drove him mad) and three years later he married Eva Wagner and settled down near Wahnfried, where he could be near his wife’s mother, the revered, strong-willed Cosima.

    Hypersensitive and neurotic and subject to frequent nervous breakdowns, Chamberlain was given to seeing demons who, by his own account, drove him on relentlessly to seek new fields of study and get on with his prodigious writings. One vision after another forced him to change from biology to botany to the fine arts, to music, to philosophy, to biography to history. Once, in 1896, when he was returning from Italy, the presence of a demon became so forceful that he got off the train at Gardone, shut himself up in a hotel room for eight days and, abandoning some work on music that he had contemplated, wrote feverishly on a biological thesis until he had the germ of the theme that would dominate all of his later works: race and history.

    Whatever its blemishes, his mind had a vast sweep ranging over the fields of literature, music, biology, botany, religion, history and politics. There was, as Jean Real has pointed out, a profound unity of inspiration in all his published works and they had a remarkable coherence. Since he felt himself goaded on by demons, his books (on Wagner, Goethe, Kant, Christianity and race) were written in the grip of a terrible fever, a veritable trance, a state of self-induced intoxication, so that, as he says in his autobiography, Lebenswege, he was often unable to recognize them as his own work, because they surpassed his expectations.

    Minds more balanced than his have subsequently demolished his theories of race and much of his history, and to such a French scholar of Germanism as Edmond Vermeil Chamberlain’s ideas were essentially ”shoddy.” Yet to the anti-Nazi German biographer of Hitler, Konrad Heiden, who deplored the influence of his racial teachings, Chamberlain ”was one of the most astonishing talents in the history of the German mind, a mine of knowledge and profound
    ideas.”

    The book which most profoundly influenced that mind, which sent Wilhelm II into ecstasies and provided the Nazis with their racial aberrations, was Foundations of the Nineteenth Century (Grundlagen des Neunzehnten Jahrhunderts) a work of some twelve hundred pages which Chamberlain, again possessed of one of his ”demons,” wrote in nineteen months between April 1, 1897, and October 31, 1898, in Vienna, and which was published in 1899.

    As with Gobineau, whom he admired, Chamberlain found the key to history, indeed the basis of civilization, to be race. To explain the nineteenth century, that is, the contemporary world, one had to consider first what it had been bequeathed from ancient times. Three things, said Chamberlain: Greek philosophy and art, Roman law and the personality of Christ. There were also three legatees: the Jews and the Germans, the ”two pure races,” and the half-breed Latins of the Mediterranean – ”a chaos of peoples,” he called them. The Germans alone deserved such a splendid heritage. They had, it is true, come into history late, not until the thirteenth century. But even before that, in destroying the Roman Empire, they had proved their worth, ”It is not true,” he says, ” that the Teutonic barbarian conjured up the so-called ’Night of the Middle Ages’; this night followed rather upon the intellectual and moral bankruptcy of the raceless chaos of humanity which the dying Roman Empire had nurtured; but for the Teuton, everlasting night would have settled upon the world.” At the time he was writing he saw in the Teuton the only hope of the world. Chamberlain included among the ”Teutons” the Celts and the Slavs, though the Teutons were the most important element. However, he is quite woolly in his definitions and at one point declares that ”whoever behaves as a Teuton is a Teuton whatever his racial origin.” Perhaps here he was thinking of his own non-German origin. Whatever he was, the Teuton, according to Chamberlain, was ”the soul of our culture. The importance of each nation as a living power today is dependent upon the proportion of genuinely Teutonic blood in its population. . . True history begins at the moment when the Teuton, with his masterful hand, lays his grip upon the legacy of antiquity.”

    And the Jews? The longest chapter in Foundations is devoted to them. As we have seen, Chamberlain claimed that the Jews and the Teutons were the only pure races left in the West. And in this chapter he condemns ”stupid and revolting anti-Semitism.” The Jews, he says, are not ”inferior” to the Teuton, merely ”different.” They have their own grandeur; they realize the ”sacred duty” of man to guard the purity of race. And yet as he proceeds to analyze the Jews, Chamberlain slips into the very vulgar anti-Semitism which he condemns in others and which leads, in the end, to the obscenities of Julius Streicher’s caricatures of the Jews in Der Stuermer in Hitler’s time. Indeed a good deal of the ”philosophical” basis of Nazi anti-Semitism stems from this chapter.

    The preposterousness of Chamberlain’s views is quickly evident. He has declared that the personality of Christ is one of the three great bequests of antiquity to modern civilization. He then sets out to ”prove” that Jesus was not a Jew. His Galilean origins, his inability to utter correctly the Aramaic gutturals, are to Chamberlain ”clear signs” that Jesus had ”a large proportion of non-Semitic blood.” He then makes a typically fiat statement: ”Whoever claimed that Jesus was a Jew was either being stupid or telling a lie .. . Jesus was not a Jew.”

    What was he then?

    Chamberlain answers: Probably an Aryan!

    To take Chamberlain’s ideas seriously today is to indulge in a dangerous delusion. On balance, I prefer the refreshing American attitude you call “uninformed” over this all too perilous European “wisdom”. 1939 anyone?

    Israel would hardly put effort into overthrowing Libyan or Egyptian governments without believing their replacement would be an improvement from Israel's point of view. It wouldn't because everyone in those counties hates Israel. I don't think there is any evidence at all that Israel wants Assad to be overthrown. No Syrian government is going to be anything but hostile to Israel and Syria has nothing Israel wants. Yes Israel would use a wedge on Arabs fighting one another to keep them at it, but it cannot create divisions within a country of between countries out of nothing. For example Iran and Iraq were at war in the 80s and Israel supplied both with arms to keep the war going, but it didn't create the conflict, which was a Persian versus Arab one with very ancient hational roots- just like the Iranian-Saudi proxy war playing out in Syria.

    As for false flags, as I said it does seem insane for Assad to gas kids right now but Assad and his tiny leadership are very isolated from good advice and they have a proven ability to make incredibly bad decisions. One thing that weighs heavily against a false flag is that the US intelligence could have very professionally faked an attack last year and got a major US airstrike to break the back of Assad before the rebels had been virtually annihilated in the cities. So why a why would Assad use nerve gas now argument cuts both ways.

    Lets be precise: the ongoing wars in the Middle East have been planned and pushed by the US/UK ziocons to protect and enlarge the territory of Israel. Both Libya and Syria were doing quite well (particularly Libya) until the ziocon "ameliorators" came to fix the situation in the Middle East. The "big and strong" America and her resources have been used by the tribe to protect their supremacist home of shameless colonizers. Instead of developing trade and cooperation, the US came to the Midde East with weapons of mass destruction. The Israel-firsters cooked the plan for the interventions. Millions died as a result.

    I was in Syria, 1987 or so.
    Of course it was dictatorial, secret services galore, five it was said.

    It's a continuous struggle especially when you're dealing with people such as you describe such as "professors."

    There is a locally well known personality, a "professor" of history, who is in great demand here for his presentation of the American Civil War ( poor label that), who disgorges"patriotic" nonsense as nauseating as it is mythical. Listening to one of his talks is as much an exercise of extreme self flagellation on my part as it is mental masturbation on his part yet people practically worship the sappy stuff he spews. There is no point in even attempting to counter what he sez.

    His audiences are completely deaf to anything but self (national) praise. It's as if nearly the whole nation positively delights in wallowing in prideful ignorance and they turn to the tube for their daily doses of it.

    He was the brother of the 1938 Chamberlain, had a strange youth, attended gymnasia in different European countries.
    He was flabbergasted how the same history was taught differently in different countries.

    I long ago wrote a USA correspondent how European countries considered waging war over the Monroe Doctrine.
    The reply was ‘it is still taught here in glowing terms’, well, in Europe it was seen as colonialism, as many in S America feel they’re still under the USA colonial yoke.
    Eduardo Galeano, ‘Open Veins of Latin America’, Five centuries of the pillage of a continent’, 1971, 2009, Londen.

    Your Civil War, for the liberation of slaves.
    My knowledge is from different books, and of course there were people concerned with slavery.
    But the real reasons were quite different, destroying a cosmopolitan culture in the south, quite different from the NE, for NE hegemony over the whole USA, and demand for industrial labour, slavery does not work in factories.
    The liberated slaves soon found out that they often were worse off, especially in old age, at the plantations they could stay until their deaths.

    Egad! Houston Stewart Chamberlain was a neurotic character. I haven't read his Grundlagen, but Shirer's description of it is sufficient. Chamberlain wrote in spurts, gripped by a demonic fervour; he says so in his autobiography, Lebenswege, that he was often unable to recognise them as his own work because they surpassed his expectations!

    French scholar of Germanism Edmond Vermeil said Chamberlain’s ideas were essentially ”shoddy.”

    Here is Shirer:


    This son of an English admiral, nephew of a British field marshal, Sir Neville Chamberlain, and of two British generals, and eventually son-in-law of Richard Wagner, was born at Portsmouth in 1855. He was destined for the British Army or Navy, but his delicate health made such a calling out of the question and he was educated in France and Geneva, where French became his first language.

    Between the ages of fifteen and nineteen fate brought him into touch with two Germans and thereafter he was drawn irresistibly toward Germany, of which he ultimately became a citizen and one of the foremost thinkers and in whose language he wrote all of his many books, several of which had an almost blinding influence on Wilhelm II, Adolf Hitler and countless lesser Germans.

    In 1870, when he was fifteen, Chamberlain landed in the hands of a remarkable tutor, Otto Kuntze, a Prussian of the Prussians, who for four years imprinted on his receptive mind and sensitive soul the glories of militant, conquering Prussia and also – apparently unmindful of the contrasts – of such artists and poets as Beethoven, Goethe, Schiller andWagner. At nineteen Chamberlain fell madly in love with Anna Horst, also a Prussian, ten years his senior and, like him, highly neurotic. In 1882, at the age of twenty-seven, he journeyed from Geneva, where he had beer, immersed for three years in studies of philosophy, natural history, physics, chemistry and medicine, to Bayreuth. There he met Wagner who, as he says, became the sun of his life, and Cosima, the composer’s wife, to whom he would remain passionately and slavishly devoted all the rest of his days. From 1885, when he went with Anna Horst, who had become his wife, to live for four years in Dresden, he became a German in thought and in language, moving on to Vienna in 1889 for a decade and finally in 1909 to Bayreuth, where he dwelt until his death in 1927.

    He divorced his idolized Prussian wife in 1905, when she was sixty and even more mentally and physically ill than he (the separation was so painful that he said it almost drove him mad) and three years later he married Eva Wagner and settled down near Wahnfried, where he could be near his wife’s mother, the revered, strong-willed Cosima.

    Hypersensitive and neurotic and subject to frequent nervous breakdowns, Chamberlain was given to seeing demons who, by his own account, drove him on relentlessly to seek new fields of study and get on with his prodigious writings. One vision after another forced him to change from biology to botany to the fine arts, to music, to philosophy, to biography to history. Once, in 1896, when he was returning from Italy, the presence of a demon became so forceful that he got off the train at Gardone, shut himself up in a hotel room for eight days and, abandoning some work on music that he had contemplated, wrote feverishly on a biological thesis until he had the germ of the theme that would dominate all of his later works: race and history.

    Whatever its blemishes, his mind had a vast sweep ranging over the fields of literature, music, biology, botany, religion, history and politics. There was, as Jean Real has pointed out, a profound unity of inspiration in all his published works and they had a remarkable coherence. Since he felt himself goaded on by demons, his books (on Wagner, Goethe, Kant, Christianity and race) were written in the grip of a terrible fever, a veritable trance, a state of self-induced intoxication, so that, as he says in his autobiography, Lebenswege, he was often unable to recognize them as his own work, because they surpassed his expectations.

    Minds more balanced than his have subsequently demolished his theories of race and much of his history, and to such a French scholar of Germanism as Edmond Vermeil Chamberlain’s ideas were essentially ”shoddy.” Yet to the anti-Nazi German biographer of Hitler, Konrad Heiden, who deplored the influence of his racial teachings, Chamberlain ”was one of the most astonishing talents in the history of the German mind, a mine of knowledge and profound
    ideas.”

    The book which most profoundly influenced that mind, which sent Wilhelm II into ecstasies and provided the Nazis with their racial aberrations, was Foundations of the Nineteenth Century (Grundlagen des Neunzehnten Jahrhunderts) a work of some twelve hundred pages which Chamberlain, again possessed of one of his ”demons,” wrote in nineteen months between April 1, 1897, and October 31, 1898, in Vienna, and which was published in 1899.

    As with Gobineau, whom he admired, Chamberlain found the key to history, indeed the basis of civilization, to be race. To explain the nineteenth century, that is, the contemporary world, one had to consider first what it had been bequeathed from ancient times. Three things, said Chamberlain: Greek philosophy and art, Roman law and the personality of Christ. There were also three legatees: the Jews and the Germans, the ”two pure races,” and the half-breed Latins of the Mediterranean – ”a chaos of peoples,” he called them. The Germans alone deserved such a splendid heritage. They had, it is true, come into history late, not until the thirteenth century. But even before that, in destroying the Roman Empire, they had proved their worth, ”It is not true,” he says, ” that the Teutonic barbarian conjured up the so-called ’Night of the Middle Ages’; this night followed rather upon the intellectual and moral bankruptcy of the raceless chaos of humanity which the dying Roman Empire had nurtured; but for the Teuton, everlasting night would have settled upon the world.” At the time he was writing he saw in the Teuton the only hope of the world. Chamberlain included among the ”Teutons” the Celts and the Slavs, though the Teutons were the most important element. However, he is quite woolly in his definitions and at one point declares that ”whoever behaves as a Teuton is a Teuton whatever his racial origin.” Perhaps here he was thinking of his own non-German origin. Whatever he was, the Teuton, according to Chamberlain, was ”the soul of our culture. The importance of each nation as a living power today is dependent upon the proportion of genuinely Teutonic blood in its population. . . True history begins at the moment when the Teuton, with his masterful hand, lays his grip upon the legacy of antiquity.”

    And the Jews? The longest chapter in Foundations is devoted to them. As we have seen, Chamberlain claimed that the Jews and the Teutons were the only pure races left in the West. And in this chapter he condemns ”stupid and revolting anti-Semitism.” The Jews, he says, are not ”inferior” to the Teuton, merely ”different.” They have their own grandeur; they realize the ”sacred duty” of man to guard the purity of race. And yet as he proceeds to analyze the Jews, Chamberlain slips into the very vulgar anti-Semitism which he condemns in others and which leads, in the end, to the obscenities of Julius Streicher’s caricatures of the Jews in Der Stuermer in Hitler’s time. Indeed a good deal of the ”philosophical” basis of Nazi anti-Semitism stems from this chapter.

    The preposterousness of Chamberlain’s views is quickly evident. He has declared that the personality of Christ is one of the three great bequests of antiquity to modern civilization. He then sets out to ”prove” that Jesus was not a Jew. His Galilean origins, his inability to utter correctly the Aramaic gutturals, are to Chamberlain ”clear signs” that Jesus had ”a large proportion of non-Semitic blood.” He then makes a typically fiat statement: ”Whoever claimed that Jesus was a Jew was either being stupid or telling a lie .. . Jesus was not a Jew.”

    What was he then?

    Chamberlain answers: Probably an Aryan!
     
    To take Chamberlain's ideas seriously today is to indulge in a dangerous delusion. On balance, I prefer the refreshing American attitude you call "uninformed" over this all too perilous European "wisdom". 1939 anyone?

    I have no hostility whatsoever against the USA people in general.
    Several offered me hospitality in their homes.

    What struck me each time was the igorance, the lack of information.
    Local tv is just stupid advertising.
    None of my hosts watched serious tv news, nowhere did I see a serious paper, just something local about engagements, weddings and funerals.

    One of my hosts I presented with the book of Anne Applebaum From West to East, I think the title was, she travelled from the Baltic sea to the Black see.
    He read it, had never realised about so many peoples.
    Even a well traveled more or less well known American I found very ignorant, who reads Readers Digest ?

    A Berkeley assistant professor asked me what I knew about the Civil War, at the time, end of the seventies, very little, but when I explained to him that Europe had been wars galore, so why would I know much about an American war, he was shocked.

    My strong objections are against USA society as a system, that allows a tiny minority to run foreign policy at their pleasure, at the cost, expense and blood of others, USA citizens and far more foreign citizens.
    The death rate American soldiers against foreign casualties was calculated by Anatol Lieven as one to fifty.

    On Okinawa is was 7000 USA soldiers against 100.000 Japanese soldiers and 40.000 civilians.

    Being a social democrat it abhors me that the USA always has abundant money for death and destruction but seems incapable of providing decent affordable health care for all its citizens;

    My strong objections are against USA society as a system, that allows a tiny minority to run foreign policy at their pleasure, at the cost, expense and blood of others, USA citizens and far more foreign citizens.

    I can’t argue with that Jilles

    and you’re right about the general ignorance and bovine stupidity of most Americans, but that has been very carefully created by the PTB, who don’t want an educated, thinking populace.

    what was it papa Bush said?

    “if the American people knew what we have done, they would string us up from the lamp posts”

    if the American people could think, the results would be the same. If the American people could think and were in possession of a moral soul, then they’d know that wars based on lies should be repudiated and the war criminals brought to justice. But the American sheople have been systematically dumbed down to the point of zombies, infatuated with Kim Kardashian’s ass. Today Idiocracy is a reality. It’s true.

    But, let me just say on behalf of Americans, that I don’t really see it any better across the pond. Sure, the Europeans are better educated, and generally speak at least two languages, and have heard of Yalta and Copernicus, but with all that education, they just don’t seem to me to be any more principled or moral than the zombified Americans.

    Sure, it is the US military that is the biggest bully on the block, but does that excuse the other little bullies that stand behind him and give him moral support? There were French jets bombing Libya just as ferociously as any American ones. The Brits have never seen an act of aggression from the US military that they don’t reverently applaud. And the Germans, whose government goes along with every war crime America commits in principle, are today complicit in a racial supremacist, genocidal holocaust against a completely innocent victim whose only crime is that they existed – in Palestine, on land that some Jewish supremacist coveted for themselves.

    The irony? That these very same Germans feel excruciating and debilitating guilt for a crime that they had nothing to do with, while at the same time facilitating the same crime of genocide today, in their names, by funding and arming and providing “moral” cover for the Zionists.

    So sure, Europeans are far more educated, but seem to fall very short when it comes to using that education to augment a moral foundation for their actions and the actions of their respective governments. There seems to me to be a sort of all-pervasive cowardice in Western Europe, and a Pavlovian, knee-jerk propensity to wallow in prostrate abasement and self-flagellate as soon as anyone says “Holocaust”. Sort of what they used to be able to bludgeon Americans with by the pejorative “racist”, until it became a joke.

    Anyways, yes, we’re ignorant, and bovine and dangerous, but morally, I just don’t see too many paragons of virtue or honor to hold up as examples today. Uruguay perhaps, and I would include Putin’s Russia insofar as he’s trying to put out the fires the Zio-Western-fiend is lighting all over the place, but then he too bolsters their agenda by antagonizing the former Soviet satellite states with ultra-nationalistic chest thumping over the “great war”, (that the Bolsheviks in Russia were mainly responsible for). Note to Putin, let it rest! The great victory that you celebrate in May was a catastrophe for Eastern Europe (and millions of Russians too)

    The US isn't as moral as it claim but who is? There is a thing called cognitive dissonance .Sounds like you believe the US should stay at home for ever after, because it was solely responsible for all deaths those conflicts, though many had started before US involvement. The lesson of US failure in Vietnam was that military strength was not enough against a opponent that was politically strong, Assad is not strong politically, the majority in Syria opposed him and dispute his inherited police state and even more ruthless army facing a rag tag piecemeal rebellion he would have lost by now without the Russians . The US is supposed to stay out and look on as Russia turns the rebels the US tried to protect into mincemeat and Assad sprays entire villages with poison gas like they were bugs, is it?

    China and Russia:
    “…regardless of the circumstances, we will not change our policy of deepening and developing our strategic partnership and cooperation; our policy, based on joint development and prosperity, will not change; and our joint efforts to defend peace and justice and promote cooperation in the world will not change. These were the words of President Xi Jinping.”

    Israel has a free press in which a great deal of speculation is tolerated, even welcomed. I haven't seen any articles in any of the major journals, or even in the smaller ones, where Daesh is described as a collaborator.

    To Israeli society's credit, humour is a normal and common enjoyment, in which spirit, some skits produced - Eretz Nehderet being the most prominent one - portray a darkly humourous relationship between Israeli doctors [and IDF medical corps] and Daesh operating in the Golan.

    Fisk writes as if the current US president's puny actions are the cause of wars and despotism all around the globe, although many like the Yemen have seen the same sides fighting for five decades, wich an altered cast of outside help. They are are rooted in local conditions, all these things Fisk is complaining about. He sometime talks as if the Middle east would settle down in a trice without the US. But America is just a country, big and strong, but still in need of allies.Even if America decided to withdraw from all involvement, It cannot halt others' interventions in local conflicts by washing US hands clean. Fisk implies otherwise.

    Lets be precise: the ongoing wars in the Middle East have been planned and pushed by the US/UK ziocons to protect and enlarge the territory of Israel. Both Libya and Syria were doing quite well (particularly Libya) until the ziocon “ameliorators” came to fix the situation in the Middle East. The “big and strong” America and her resources have been used by the tribe to protect their supremacist home of shameless colonizers. Instead of developing trade and cooperation, the US came to the Midde East with weapons of mass destruction. The Israel-firsters cooked the plan for the interventions. Millions died as a result.

You should have already noticed that the ordinary Americans are getting to realize that the US has been used as a living host by the paraziotid Israel that needs the US to implement the Oded Yinon plan for Eretz Israel. It also obvious that the implementation could end up with a glassy Middle East, where Israel would become a heap of ashes. Or you are ready to cry antisemitism, Holocaust, and special victimhood, despite your bloody subhuman ziocons that have arranged the slaughter of millions of human beings in the Middle East?
    Your people are collaborating with ISIS in the struggling Syria and with neo-Nazis in the deteriorating Ukraine.

    Israel would hardly put effort into overthrowing Libyan or Egyptian governments without believing their replacement would be an improvement from Israel's point of view. It wouldn't because everyone in those counties hates Israel. I don't think there is any evidence at all that Israel wants Assad to be overthrown. No Syrian government is going to be anything but hostile to Israel and Syria has nothing Israel wants. Yes Israel would use a wedge on Arabs fighting one another to keep them at it, but it cannot create divisions within a country of between countries out of nothing. For example Iran and Iraq were at war in the 80s and Israel supplied both with arms to keep the war going, but it didn't create the conflict, which was a Persian versus Arab one with very ancient hational roots- just like the Iranian-Saudi proxy war playing out in Syria.

    As for false flags, as I said it does seem insane for Assad to gas kids right now but Assad and his tiny leadership are very isolated from good advice and they have a proven ability to make incredibly bad decisions. One thing that weighs heavily against a false flag is that the US intelligence could have very professionally faked an attack last year and got a major US airstrike to break the back of Assad before the rebels had been virtually annihilated in the cities. So why a why would Assad use nerve gas now argument cuts both ways.

    I don’t think there is any evidence at all that Israel wants Assad to be overthrown.

    True and you obviously know more than most Americans do about that. Democracy, in this country, is nothing more than a deeply ingrained fetish. As you probably know, democracy only works in small, homogeneous, MORAL groups otherwise it's simply mob rule.

    Both books now are not where I am right now.

    Fritz Stern, ‘Gold and Iron, Bismarck, Bleichröder, and the Building of the German Empire’, New York, 1977.

    Both are written by jews, you should read both in order to understand the emergence of anti semitism in Germany after 1870.
    Who morally is to blame, one can debate for a very long time.

    In any case my idea is that jews behaved stupidly, the Schorsch book explains abundantly how jews in articles, books and creating organisations tried to show they were not to blame.

    That agreement among jews, even that was not realised, about the blame, would change nothing about the feelings of ‘real’ Germans, never seems to have occurred to them.

    It's a continuous struggle especially when you're dealing with people such as you describe such as "professors."

    There is a locally well known personality, a "professor" of history, who is in great demand here for his presentation of the American Civil War ( poor label that), who disgorges"patriotic" nonsense as nauseating as it is mythical. Listening to one of his talks is as much an exercise of extreme self flagellation on my part as it is mental masturbation on his part yet people practically worship the sappy stuff he spews. There is no point in even attempting to counter what he sez.

    His audiences are completely deaf to anything but self (national) praise. It's as if nearly the whole nation positively delights in wallowing in prideful ignorance and they turn to the tube for their daily doses of it.

    I can't argue with that Jilles

    and you're right about the general ignorance and bovine stupidity of most Americans, but that has been very carefully created by the PTB, who don't want an educated, thinking populace.

    what was it papa Bush said?

    "if the American people knew what we have done, they would string us up from the lamp posts"

    if the American people could think, the results would be the same. If the American people could think and were in possession of a moral soul, then they'd know that wars based on lies should be repudiated and the war criminals brought to justice. But the American sheople have been systematically dumbed down to the point of zombies, infatuated with Kim Kardashian's ass. Today Idiocracy is a reality. It's true.

    But, let me just say on behalf of Americans, that I don't really see it any better across the pond. Sure, the Europeans are better educated, and generally speak at least two languages, and have heard of Yalta and Copernicus, but with all that education, they just don't seem to me to be any more principled or moral than the zombified Americans.

    Sure, it is the US military that is the biggest bully on the block, but does that excuse the other little bullies that stand behind him and give him moral support? There were French jets bombing Libya just as ferociously as any American ones. The Brits have never seen an act of aggression from the US military that they don't reverently applaud. And the Germans, whose government goes along with every war crime America commits in principle, are today complicit in a racial supremacist, genocidal holocaust against a completely innocent victim whose only crime is that they existed - in Palestine, on land that some Jewish supremacist coveted for themselves.

    The irony? That these very same Germans feel excruciating and debilitating guilt for a crime that they had nothing to do with, while at the same time facilitating the same crime of genocide today, in their names, by funding and arming and providing "moral" cover for the Zionists.

    So sure, Europeans are far more educated, but seem to fall very short when it comes to using that education to augment a moral foundation for their actions and the actions of their respective governments. There seems to me to be a sort of all-pervasive cowardice in Western Europe, and a Pavlovian, knee-jerk propensity to wallow in prostrate abasement and self-flagellate as soon as anyone says "Holocaust". Sort of what they used to be able to bludgeon Americans with by the pejorative "racist", until it became a joke.

    Anyways, yes, we're ignorant, and bovine and dangerous, but morally, I just don't see too many paragons of virtue or honor to hold up as examples today. Uruguay perhaps, and I would include Putin's Russia insofar as he's trying to put out the fires the Zio-Western-fiend is lighting all over the place, but then he too bolsters their agenda by antagonizing the former Soviet satellite states with ultra-nationalistic chest thumping over the "great war", (that the Bolsheviks in Russia were mainly responsible for). Note to Putin, let it rest! The great victory that you celebrate in May was a catastrophe for Eastern Europe (and millions of Russians too)

    sorry, I tend to rant at times..

    Your conception of American health care is incorrect. Yes, there are flaws, but ANYONE can walk into an American hospital emergency room and they will be treated REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. Even illegal aliens will be treated...
    Patients in countries with "socialized medicine" quite often, have interminable wait times for procedures that are routine here in the USA. Even Canada, our neighbor to the north, has problems with timely availability of services. Canada has first-rate medical personnel, who have to work under the constraints of a public system.
    It is interesting to note, that in most countries with "socialized medicine" there is a two-tier system of treatment...those with private health insurance (or money) can (and do) get better treatment than those who depend on the "public system".
    In addition, there are life saving drugs that are unavailable in the public system as they are considered "too expensive"...
    Witness Great Britain's "National Health Service" (NHS) with its NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence), which refuses to pay for certain breast cancer drugs, deeming them to be "too expensive". One could argue that NICE is a "death panel" relegating those who are unfortunate enough to need care relegated to death.
    Go outside the NHS system to pay for your own care, and the door closes and locks behind you. “NHS has invoked a policy of refusing care altogether to patients who, often upon physician recommendation, choose to pay out-of-pocket for best-available drug treatments”.
    A breast cancer patient in the UK “Found that out the hard way when she tried to buy Avastin out of her own pocket, only to have her doctor inform her that if she did so, she would have to pay for all her treatment.” Yet she has been paying income taxes of 20 to 45 percent for her “government provided free healthcare”.
    American health care needs improvement, but socializing it is not the answer...

    The idea of Israel / US subversion of Iraq is a joke.

    The idea of Israel / US subversion of Libya is a joke.

    it works just the same with them all, huh?

    but then the notorious cowards in the IDF never like to get in harms way now do they, so just like with your hero general Ariel Sharon, they always prefer to stay in safety and get other goons to do their fighting for them, huh?

    Killing killers who hide among the innocent always involves collateral damage so American hands may be less than white
     
    isn't that pretty much what Sharon said about the Sabra and Shatila massacre?

    funny how that's always your modus operendi.. to use false flags to get others to do your fighting for you?

    like the Syrian false flag chemical attacks

    or 9/11

    or getting Druze Phalangist militia to slaughter women and children, lest one of them have a sharp object to fight back with, and pose a threat to a brave IDF soldier, huh?

    I suspect Robert Fisk may even know a little about that proud episode in chronicles of Zio-brave warrior-history.

    Israel would hardly put effort into overthrowing Libyan or Egyptian governments without believing their replacement would be an improvement from Israel’s point of view. It wouldn’t because everyone in those counties hates Israel. I don’t think there is any evidence at all that Israel wants Assad to be overthrown. No Syrian government is going to be anything but hostile to Israel and Syria has nothing Israel wants. Yes Israel would use a wedge on Arabs fighting one another to keep them at it, but it cannot create divisions within a country of between countries out of nothing. For example Iran and Iraq were at war in the 80s and Israel supplied both with arms to keep the war going, but it didn’t create the conflict, which was a Persian versus Arab one with very ancient hational roots- just like the Iranian-Saudi proxy war playing out in Syria.

    As for false flags, as I said it does seem insane for Assad to gas kids right now but Assad and his tiny leadership are very isolated from good advice and they have a proven ability to make incredibly bad decisions. One thing that weighs heavily against a false flag is that the US intelligence could have very professionally faked an attack last year and got a major US airstrike to break the back of Assad before the rebels had been virtually annihilated in the cities. So why a why would Assad use nerve gas now argument cuts both ways.

    Sure, because she's such a pious woman, Kohl today got one million euro's in damages, because the ghost writer of his memoirs published volume four without his permission, with his statements about Merkel like 'she put the dagger in my back and turned it'.

    In 2001 or so there was a financial scandal in Kohl's party, Merkel made it public knowledge.
    The other remark was 'she just has lust for power', or something like that.
    I suppose now millions of copies of volume four will be sold.

    I also like to recall Merkel's statement about the huge numbers of immigrants 'wird Deutschland für immer ändern', 'will change Germany forever'.
    As if any German asked for this change, change for which Sarrazin already warned in 2010:
    Thilo Sarrazin, 'Deutschland schafft sich ab, Wie wir unser Land aufs Spiel setzen', München 2010

    Sarrazin warned that Germany is destroying itself through the immigration of large numbers of immigrants with low IQ.
    Merkel fired him immediately.

    Bro, how did that contradict anything that I just said?

    I still do not see Trump as a crackpot.
    Though I'm not sure about his ideas I still hope that he will end USA militarism, not because out of moral ideas, but because he sees, and his rich friends, that pursuing the goal of USA world hegemony will, or has already, ruined the USA.

    The attack on Syria, and his warlike talk about N Korea, hogwash to confuse Deep State, and to satisfy his voters.
    The Dutch professor Laslo Maracs, university of Amsterdam, explains all this eloquently, alas only in Dutch, as far as I know.

    And my hope still is that Trump will prevent NATO and EU war on Russia, the war that indeed will end al wars, as already Wilson wanted, because this war will end all human life.
    How it then ends is well described in the novel On the Beach, Neville Shute, 1953, the New Zealand government distributing suicide pills when the radio active dust reaches the island.

    Don’t be too sure that Trump voters favor this kind of mindless and dangerous violence abroad. On the contrary, for me, my family, and many Trump voters of our acquaintance.

    Many of us voted for trump in part because he was proposing a less belligerent, less unreasonable attitude towards Russia, if not towards Iran. We voted for him because he continually lambasted the US invasions of Iraq and said that the US should stop invading and trying to dictate how other peoples should operate in their countries.

    I don’t think a majority of people who voted Trump OR a majority of people who voted Clinton favors attacking Syria or Iran or Russia. Yet here we are threatening each of them, attacking Assad’s regime to the benefit of Islamists, and encircling& sanctioning & trying to humiliate and impoverish Russia.

    Hallo Jilles,

    what a treat it is to see people from Europe here at the inimitable Unz Review!


    Not a concentration camp, just a gigantic destabilised region.
     
    well, I guess it's just a matter of perspective. What Libya or Iraq (or the Palestinian occupied territories) seem like to me are one big open air prison of hopelessness and despair. Wrought with daily horrors and death. At least in a concentration camp the young women might be able to walk the streets without being raped by savages unleashed upon the people, as it seems is the case in Libya. Or blown to bits by CIA/Mossad car bombs like Iraq. Or subjected to random torture, white phosphorous or having their organs harvested like in Gaza.

    But then I guess it depends on the "concentration camp", since the ones Eisenhower ran for teenage German boys after the war was over are probably as bad as it gets. So perspective in all things, I suppose.


    And as anyone leaves they try to go to Europe, destroy the cultures of the European countries, so that Europe becomes a USA clone,
     
    that's what you call a twofer for the Zionists. Such a deal!

    ‘how became our saviour of WWII become a rogue state ?’.
     
    savior?!

    the US was never your savior Jilles. That's just the propaganda speaking that all German (and American) children were/are marinated in following that evil war.

    when a nation like America does to a people what American bombers did to cities like Dresden, it's hardly fitting to refer to such people as saviors. I read accounts where fighter pilots said that after the bombing, when the survivors were fleeing the holocaust, that they'd strafe anything with blonde hair, men women or children. That's not the talk of a savior, but of a race-hate crazed murderous demon. Remember, at the time Dresden was bombed, the war was effectively already over. They were unleashing genocidal hatred on the German people, not saving them.


    The answer was simple but shocking, Roosevelt was brought into politics in 1932 to wage war for USA world supremacy.
     
    it goes back farther than that, to Woodrow Wilson's I.
    and the point was always to secure the founding of the state of Israel.

    he had promised his voters in 1940 ‘that USA boys would nog be sent overseas, unless the USA was attacked’.
    His oil boycott succeeded, Japan attacked when it had oil left for three months.
     
    you really do have an excellent handle on things Jilles. But you're not cynical enough yet. ;)

    the fount of treachery starts with the charter of the Federal Reserve Bank, the original treason and betrayal of biblical enormity that has set in motion all of these wars and assorted horrors and atrocities. And threatens to make this century just as bloody and Satanic as the last one, unless we can somehow collectively manage to waylay these Fiends.

    Prost !

    Had you read earlier posts by me then you would have known that the Balfour declaration was the price Britain had to pay in 1917 in order to avoid capitulation in november 1917.
    You then also would have known that I know that
    Henry Morgenthau, ‘Ambassador Morgenthau’s Story’, New York, 1918
    was just war propaganda.
    Morgenthau’s hatred of Germany I attribute to the German antisemitism that began after the unification in 1870.

    all too true

    That this was and is possible I attribute to the lack of any culture in the USA, except hamburgers and oversized cars.
     
    I can't argue with that too much, and I fully understand the hostility of so many people towards the US of A.

    what's good about it? Not too much, but there are a few things that are worth mentioning. We still have the First Amendment and free speech. Something most of Euopre are sadly lacking, as you can be tossed in jail for saying 5,999,999 Jews died in gas chambers during the Holocaust, and not the holy number of six million. Here in the states we're allowed to say it's 5,999,999 Jews.

    Also we still have the Second Amendment, that is the protector and guarantor of the First.

    Sure, our culture is a open pipe of spiritual sewage gushing out into the rest of the world, but that's all being done by Hollywood types. Not traditional Americans, who simply want to be left alone.

    most egregious however is the war mongering, and as you mentioned with FDR, (and Wilson and Obama and Trump, etc...) we always vote against the wars, but then always have it foisted upon us by the tribe. (as you mentioned, it's who owns the Fed).

    Anyways God bless and please keep commenting..

    Depends.

    it never became democratic,

     

    True and you obviously know more than most Americans do about that. Democracy, in this country, is nothing more than a deeply ingrained fetish. As you probably know, democracy only works in small, homogeneous, MORAL groups otherwise it's simply mob rule.

    money still rules the USA.
     
    More precisely, money is the main idol that's worshipped. The rulers are vicious, sociopathic, corrupt, insatiable, moneyed hyenas and jackals. And they are completely incorrigible.

    If you want to have clean hands then spend the money you don't need to live on global famine relief, like Peter Singer the philosopher does and talks about. Individually few do that and I suspect even Singer doesn't to the extent his ethics would suggest. people die of famine and poverty and we live in luxury in the West : deal with that before droning on a bout some careful military operations. Dropping a few bombs on the airdrome facilities of Assad's baby killer pilots is hardly dirty war.

    Assad is 100% responsible for this rebellion which started basically because his family had ran the country into the ground,and failing to see that his people really don't like him very much, he put up the price of basic necessities like fuel. Then he ignored the warnings of Obama's abortive bombing attempt, and brought in Russia (the Russians only came in after the US seemed impotent) to blast his unmotivated minority army to victory.

    The idea of Israel / US subversion of Syria is a joke. If Israel wanted to oust Assad it could have done it with a mere maneuver within territory Israel already controls: a build up on the Golan , which Assad would have had to match by transferring his army away from fighting the rebels. The US could have overthrown Assad with one air raid on a manufactured pretext at any time.

    Killing killers who hide among the innocent always involves collateral damage so American hands may be less than white, but America hands are clean by comparison with Assad's hands, which are dripping with the blood of Syrians.

    The idea of Israel / US subversion of Syria is a joke.

    golly Sean

    you could use that same argument with so many conflicts eh?

    The idea of Israel / US subversion of Iraq is a joke.

    The idea of Israel / US subversion of Libya is a joke.

    it works just the same with them all, huh?

    but then the notorious cowards in the IDF never like to get in harms way now do they, so just like with your hero general Ariel Sharon, they always prefer to stay in safety and get other goons to do their fighting for them, huh?

    Killing killers who hide among the innocent always involves collateral damage so American hands may be less than white

    isn’t that pretty much what Sharon said about the Sabra and Shatila massacre?

    funny how that’s always your modus operendi.. to use false flags to get others to do your fighting for you?

    like the Syrian false flag chemical attacks

    or 9/11

    or getting Druze Phalangist militia to slaughter women and children, lest one of them have a sharp object to fight back with, and pose a threat to a brave IDF soldier, huh?

    Israel would hardly put effort into overthrowing Libyan or Egyptian governments without believing their replacement would be an improvement from Israel's point of view. It wouldn't because everyone in those counties hates Israel. I don't think there is any evidence at all that Israel wants Assad to be overthrown. No Syrian government is going to be anything but hostile to Israel and Syria has nothing Israel wants. Yes Israel would use a wedge on Arabs fighting one another to keep them at it, but it cannot create divisions within a country of between countries out of nothing. For example Iran and Iraq were at war in the 80s and Israel supplied both with arms to keep the war going, but it didn't create the conflict, which was a Persian versus Arab one with very ancient hational roots- just like the Iranian-Saudi proxy war playing out in Syria.

    As for false flags, as I said it does seem insane for Assad to gas kids right now but Assad and his tiny leadership are very isolated from good advice and they have a proven ability to make incredibly bad decisions. One thing that weighs heavily against a false flag is that the US intelligence could have very professionally faked an attack last year and got a major US airstrike to break the back of Assad before the rebels had been virtually annihilated in the cities. So why a why would Assad use nerve gas now argument cuts both ways.

    The idea of Israel / US subversion of Syria is a joke.
     
    golly Sean

    you could use that same argument with so many conflicts eh?

    The idea of Israel / US subversion of Iraq is a joke.

    The idea of Israel / US subversion of Libya is a joke.

    it works just the same with them all, huh?

    but then the notorious cowards in the IDF never like to get in harms way now do they, so just like with your hero general Ariel Sharon, they always prefer to stay in safety and get other goons to do their fighting for them, huh?

    Killing killers who hide among the innocent always involves collateral damage so American hands may be less than white
     
    isn't that pretty much what Sharon said about the Sabra and Shatila massacre?

    funny how that's always your modus operendi.. to use false flags to get others to do your fighting for you?

    like the Syrian false flag chemical attacks

    or 9/11

    or getting Druze Phalangist militia to slaughter women and children, lest one of them have a sharp object to fight back with, and pose a threat to a brave IDF soldier, huh?

    I suspect Robert Fisk may even know a little about that proud episode in chronicles of Zio-brave warrior-history.

  • The litmus test for a Trump foreign policy is not disengagement and isolation from the rest of the world.

    It is whether or not such foreign policy is calibrated to undermine the United States from within. Policies like rules of engagement and “war crimes” legal action designed to demoralize and kill US soldiers needlessly or refugee resettlement programs designed to give non-white enemies a fighting chance to kill Americans on their own soil.

    The US projecting power around the world is something that it has always done since WWII. The difference of late, starting under Bill Clinton, was utilizing foreign interventions in a way that deliberately blow back on the United States and are designed to hurt it or the West in general from within.

    So far, we have seen a pivot away from the anti-American foreign interventions of the recent past. Trump has pivoted to Asia which all but guarantees there won’t be any boots-on-the-ground in North Korea. He has attempted to stem the flow of immigrants and refugees, so far, unsuccessfully, but it is still early in the game. Syria has not amounted to anything of note, but at least Trump is not propping up ISIS the way the Obama administration did.

    Remember, that, for America, the enemy is here. It is the Left and its anti-White policies that are the real enemy. So far, I have seen Trump slowly rolling back this anti-Whitism.

    Not a peep out of turncoat traitor Trump regarding "9/11 truth." The deafening silence on this matter as-well-as other harsh issues facing rank-and-file Americans and the western world, speaks volumes.

    Now we've got masked gangs of ANTIFA punks running roughshod like spoiled brats and being handled with kid gloves, as law enforcement is ordered by owned politicians, to stand down.

    The self-serving globalist "elite" (~0.01%) and their Zionist trust fund baby financiers continue to engineer civil war, as revolutionary war would be their worst nightmare.

    Why spew the common nonsense?
     
    you mean how the whole nightmarish holocaust of Eternal War and strife and horrors writ large in the Middle East today are mostly a consequence of Zionist $ubversion of our governments and media?

    and that destroying Iraq and Libya and Syria (eventually Iran, Lebanon, etc..) are all part of a transparent agenda to remake the greater Levant into a giant concentration camp a la Palestine?

    that 'common nonsense'?

    or is it common knowledge?

    Not a concentration camp, just a gigantic destabilised region.
    There access to oil and gas is simple and cheap.
    And as anyone leaves they try to go to Europe, destroy the cultures of the European countries, so that Europe becomes a USA clone, where money reigns.
    One just has to be enough cynical to see it all.

    With me this cynicism began three years after sept 11, when I could no longer fool myself.
    Then the question came ‘how became our saviour of WWII become a rogue state ?’.
    The answer was simple but shocking, Roosevelt was brought into politics in 1932 to wage war for USA world supremacy.

    Charles A Beard published his book on Roosevelt politics in 1946, also the year where the Pearl Harbour investigation took place.
    According to the democrats there had been no Roosevelt conspiracy, the republicans had other ideas.

    Roosevelt needed an attack, he had promised his voters in 1940 ‘that USA boys would nog be sent overseas, unless the USA was attacked’.
    His oil boycott succeeded, Japan attacked when it had oil left for three months.
    The republican ideas have many times been confirmed since then.

    Hallo Jilles,

    what a treat it is to see people from Europe here at the inimitable Unz Review!


    Not a concentration camp, just a gigantic destabilised region.
     
    well, I guess it's just a matter of perspective. What Libya or Iraq (or the Palestinian occupied territories) seem like to me are one big open air prison of hopelessness and despair. Wrought with daily horrors and death. At least in a concentration camp the young women might be able to walk the streets without being raped by savages unleashed upon the people, as it seems is the case in Libya. Or blown to bits by CIA/Mossad car bombs like Iraq. Or subjected to random torture, white phosphorous or having their organs harvested like in Gaza.

    But then I guess it depends on the "concentration camp", since the ones Eisenhower ran for teenage German boys after the war was over are probably as bad as it gets. So perspective in all things, I suppose.


    And as anyone leaves they try to go to Europe, destroy the cultures of the European countries, so that Europe becomes a USA clone,
     
    that's what you call a twofer for the Zionists. Such a deal!

    ‘how became our saviour of WWII become a rogue state ?’.
     
    savior?!

    the US was never your savior Jilles. That's just the propaganda speaking that all German (and American) children were/are marinated in following that evil war.

    when a nation like America does to a people what American bombers did to cities like Dresden, it's hardly fitting to refer to such people as saviors. I read accounts where fighter pilots said that after the bombing, when the survivors were fleeing the holocaust, that they'd strafe anything with blonde hair, men women or children. That's not the talk of a savior, but of a race-hate crazed murderous demon. Remember, at the time Dresden was bombed, the war was effectively already over. They were unleashing genocidal hatred on the German people, not saving them.


    The answer was simple but shocking, Roosevelt was brought into politics in 1932 to wage war for USA world supremacy.
     
    it goes back farther than that, to Woodrow Wilson's I.
    and the point was always to secure the founding of the state of Israel.

    he had promised his voters in 1940 ‘that USA boys would nog be sent overseas, unless the USA was attacked’.
    His oil boycott succeeded, Japan attacked when it had oil left for three months.
     
    you really do have an excellent handle on things Jilles. But you're not cynical enough yet. ;)

    the fount of treachery starts with the charter of the Federal Reserve Bank, the original treason and betrayal of biblical enormity that has set in motion all of these wars and assorted horrors and atrocities. And threatens to make this century just as bloody and Satanic as the last one, unless we can somehow collectively manage to waylay these Fiends.

    Prost !

  • I really doubt whether seeing pictures of dead Syrian children had anything to do with the decision to bomb the Syrian airfield.

    Fake news is at its best when it seems almost plausible. In reality no candidate for leader of the free world since the time of King Herod would lose a moment of sleep over killing a few Syrian children. Remember Trump even succeeded in killing an American child in Yemen.

    Trumpie, you’re doing a heckuva job.
