Mother Jones article on Trump As "Russian Weapon vs US" Misses Forest For the Trees

 


This "Mother Jones" article (link below) is a fairly decent overview of Trump's history as a "Russian weapon aimed at the US". There's nothing new here, but its useful to see his history of treason summarized succinctly in one place. 


The article neglects coverage of the 6 year campaign by Putin to commandeer and deploy a growing Neo-Nazi militia movement here to unleash Left vs Right chaos on behalf of Trump. (A fact which is now being documented by the US Attorneys and FBI investigating the Capitol attack) It omits Trump's cover up and suppression of investigations into Russian bounties for KIA's of US Soldiers, and arming of the Taliban. As we know, everytime a Russian intelligence attack on us occured, (or against Democracy activists like Navalny) Trump would intervene to squelch the investigation, or misdirect the blame to China or Iran. 


Its inaccurate to say that Trump's "collusion" was only about Trump. It was a transactional relationship, as befits that of a State actor and its asset, in which Trump provided services to Russia in exchange for dirt on his political enemies. He was not simply a beneficiary of Putin's largesse. 


The attempt by Trump to install Civil servant appointees at the 11th hour in highly sensitive National Security posts is likely an attempt to bury any high value Intelligence or investigations of the full scope of that that collusion. 


It is urgent that Biden's team dig into this as a top priority. There resides the keys to disabling the Fascist paramilitaries which were deployed against the Capitol on Jan 6, and which are planning a wave of anti-government terrorism as we speak.

Today in History, July 17, 1918- Czar of Russia and Family Executed

Today in History, July 17, 1918, Execution of the Romanovs, the Czar and Czaritsa of Russia and their Children by the Soviet Government. Today in History, July 17, 1918, Execution of the Romanovs, the Czar and Czaritsa of Russia and their Children by the Soviet Government. By July 1918, Russia was engulfed in a hellish civil war which would cost millions of lives and damage a country already reeling from the devastation of World War I. Swept away in this hellfire was the old Tsarist monarchy, last headed by Nicholas II. Nicholas had abdicated in 1917 as the Russian Revolution swept through the nation. Since then he had been a prisoner of successive governments, first the Provisional Government and then the administration run by Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks. The Romanovs were shipped from place to place, eventually coming to Yekaterinburg in April, in the Urals, an area known for its hard Communist sympathies. As the White Russian forces grew closer, Lenin and his associates ordere...

Milton Friedman- The Man Who Revived Fascist Economics, and Called It "Freedom".

Image
  You may have heard the name before, as he was featured in a PBS Series, titled "Free To Choose", also the title of his most famous and misnamed book. He was a prolific author, and widely publicized by Conservative News Media and Magazines, especially by the followers of William F. Buckley. In fact, Milton Friedman is the current top economic advisor to the so-called "movement conservatives", from Nixon to Reagan, to Newt Gingrich and Trumpworld,  and is still to this day the main architect of the GOP approach to dealing with the present economic crisis, though he has been keeping a low profile. A very low profile. In fact, six feet under. He is currently dead, and has been for 14 years, yet his horrific philosophy continues to stalk about, haunting us like the living dead animated by a Voodoo curse, burning live Chickens, chanting incantations, and propitiating the irrational forces of Britain's Adam Smith and his "Invisible Hand". (Which is the hand...

How Do You Know If What You Are Reading Is True Or Useful? - A One Year Old Facebook Post

Image
 How do we know whether what we are reading is true, or for that matter useful? There are many journalists in the US today who are not only excellent writers, but are just good people. They are well informed, have the best intentions and are highly professional.  I have to force myself to write, and it comes with great difficulty because I am blocked, and had little journalistic training. Without an editor I feel lost, and feel as though I want to rewrite everything or throw it out after I read it. Reading books and articles is my favorite hobby, and when I'm doing that I am in my happy place.  As of now I have 30 News and Magazine sites bookmarked and I read them everyday as a routine. I usually read anywhere from 2-10 articles in each, depending upon what newsworthy events are breaking that day. Plus I have a number of books on history that I have going at any one time. This is no big accomplishment or unique, it's just how I occupy my time and is my form of work these ...
