Why Trump, Pompeo Brinksmanship vs China Could Cause Catastrophe

Image
Why Trump, Pompeo Brinksmanship With China Could Lead to Catastrophe There are rumors swirling about the possibly comatose state of Kim Jong Un. They may be true, but the source is the New York Post, a Murdoch Press outlet. They have announced on three occassions recently the demise or soon to be end of the North Korean alcoholic sex addict and Swiss Cheese Glutton, based on sources in South Korea who are as reliable as Perez Hilton of TMZ. Don't get carried away yet. Start with what we know. Former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson denounced Trump as a "Fucking Moron" after a Pentagon meeting more than 2 years ago with the top Brass and Trump. The assembled planners attempted to give him a simple strategic overview of our global posture and state of our alliances. He had no interest in listening whatsoever.  It was over Trump's humiliating propitiation of Kim in which he agreed before a summit to cancel US Military maneuvers with the South Korean Military which ...

Some Observations on Christian Anti-Semitism-Fundamentalism, QAnon, and Hitler

When you see children being taught to hate, based on a religion supposedly rooted in universal love, it raises some obvious questions, including one asked by a friend, which is, how can Christians preach hatred for Jews, when Jesus their Savior was himself Jewish? This was my response, which Martha suggested that I post. The Nazis argued that Christ was not a Jew, but an Aryan, who declared war on the Jewish leadership in Jerusalem, signified by Christ kicking over the tables of the Money lenders in the Temple and driving them out with a whip. They believe in the lie that Jews executed Jesus, when in fact it was Pontius Pilate on orders from Tiberius, Emperor of Rome, who then turned around and said they were only caving to pressure from  the Rabbis who wanted Jesus silenced. It was the Romans who most feared Jesus' growing ministry. Many oligarchs in history who have done evil things have covered themselves by blaming the Jews. This is where it started. It continues today, with ...

My Thoughts on Trump's and the Evangelicals' Deep Anti-Semitism

The Rosen Report-Archived Article On Trump, The Anti-Semite: (edited for clarity and typos) August 20, 2020-- Speaking of anti-semitism, I've never been an observant Jew, and was raised in a non-religious home. Lately though, I've worn a Star of David. Part of it is pride in my heritage, as the great-grandson of Jewish refugees who came through Ellis Island, and another part is to say "f**k you" to Nazis and other anti-semites. The Nazis in America today are what they are, pathetic, potentially dangerous and sick people who go through life as damaged goods, and need someone, some group to blame for their own failures in life. I have a bigger problem with the right-wing evangelicals and fundamentalists who believe Donald Trump is the "Annointed One". They say they LOVE Israel and the Jewish people. Well, yes, they love us to death. Literally.  There are some real nasty cultists out there, anti-semitic through and through,  emanating from places like the darby...

What I saw coming 1 year ago

If it's anything less than a Landslide, Trump will renounce the result, and announce he is not leaving. He may do that even still, but it will be harder. His Campaign Lawyers will set into motion a National legal strategy to void results in Democratic cities in those states he loses, claiming fraud. But that is not the actual plan, that's the cover. When Trump announces he's not leaving, mass demonstrations will begin, including surrounding the White House. That's why they are adding to building reinforcements around the White House now. These anti-Trump demos will go violent, because there will be provocateurs, some of whom sent in by Nazis and Bikers, militias etc, but some from the left side as well. What these provocateurs will have in common is that many of their groups and members are steered from Russia, which wants chaos here. (I'm putting that picture together) Trump at this point calls for a MAGA uprising from his heavily armed hard core b...

My Reading on the Appointment of Lt.Gen. Anthony Tata

Putin has made this sort of maneuver in the past, in order to position for a future power play in Russia.  For example, when he "stepped down" from the Russian Presidency in 2008 for Constitutional reasons of term limits, and endorsed his Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev for President. Medvedev won, and appointed Putin Prime Minister for one term, and of course it was Putin, sliding into the background, circumventing Russia's Constitution, who continued to run the country. In 2012, they switched again, with Putin winning the Presidency back, and Medvedev going back to PM. In Chess, a game that Russians are famous for playing expertly, this is called "Castling". As explained thusly; ---"Castling is a move in the game of chess involving a player's king and either of the player's original rooks. It is the only move in chess in which a player moves two pieces in the same move, and it is the only move aside from the knight's move where a pie...
