Less than a month ago I warned that a ‘color revolution ‘ was taking place in the USA.
My first element of proof was the so-called “investigation” which the
CIA, FBI, NSA and others were conducting against President Trump’s
candidate to become National Security Advisor, General Flynn. Tonight,
the plot to get rid of Flynn has finally succeeded and General Flynn had to offer his resignation. Trump accepted it.
Now let’s immediately get one thing out of the way: Flynn was hardly a
saint or a perfect wise man who would single handedly saved the world.
That he was not. However, what Flynn was is the cornerstone of Trump’s national security policy.
For one thing, Flynn dared the unthinkable: he dared to declare that
the bloated US intelligence community had to be reformed. Flynn also
tried to subordinate the CIA and the Joint Chiefs to the President via
the National Security Council. Put differently, Flynn tried to wrestle
the ultimate power and authority from the CIA and the Pentagon and
subordinate them back to the White House. Flynn also wanted to work
with Russia. Not because he was a Russia lover, the notion of a Director
of the DIA as a Putin-fan is ridiculous, but Flynn was rational, he
understood that Russia was no threat to the USA or to Europe and that
Russia had the West had common interests. That is another absolutely
unforgivable crimethink in Washington DC.
The Neocon run ‘deep state’ has now forced Flynn to resign under the
idiotic pretext that he had a telephone conversation, on an open,
insecure and clearly monitored, line with the Russian ambassador.
And Trump accepted this resignation.
Ever since Trump made it to the White House, he has taken blow after
blow from the Neocon-run Ziomedia, from Congress, from all the Hollywood
doubleplusgoodthinking “stars” and even from European
politicians. And Trump took each blow without ever fighting back.
Nowhere was his famous “you are fired!” to be seen. But I still had
hope. I wanted to hope. I felt that it was my duty to hope.
But now Trump has betrayed us all.
Remember how Obama showed his true face when he hypocritically denounced his friend and pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr.?
Today, Trump has shown us his true face. Instead of refusing Flynn’s
resignation and instead of firing those who dared cook up these
ridiculous accusations against Flynn, Trump accepted the resignation.
This is not only an act of abject cowardice, it is also an amazingly
stupid and self-defeating betrayal because now Trump will be alone,
completely alone, facing the likes of Mattis and Pence – hard Cold
Warrior types, ideological to the core, folks who want war and simply
don’t care about reality.
Again, Flynn was not my hero. But he was, by all accounts, Trump’s hero. And Trump betrayed him.
The consequences of this will be immense. For one thing, Trump is now clearly broken. It took the ‘deep state’ only weeks to castrate Trump and to make him bow to the powers that be.
Those who would have stood behind Trump will now feel that he will not
stand behind them and they will all move back away from him. The
Neocons will feel elated by the elimination of their worst enemy and
emboldened by this victory they will push on, doubling-down over and
over and over again.
It’s over, folks, the deep state has won.
From now on, Trump will become the proverbial shabbos-goy, the errand boy of the Israel lobby. Hassan Nasrallah was right when he called him ‘an idiot‘.
The Chinese and Iranian will openly laugh. The Russians won’t – they
will be polite, they will smile, and try to see if some common sense
policies can still be salvaged from this disaster. Some might. But any
dream of a partnership between Russia and the United States has died
tonight.
The EU leaders will, of course, celebrate. Trump was nowhere the
scary bogeyman they feared. Turns out that he is a doormat – very good
for the EU.
Where does all this leave us – the millions of anonymous
‘deplorables’ who try as best we can to resist imperialism, war,
violence and injustice?
I think that we were right in our hopes because that is all we had –
hopes. No expectations, just hopes. But now we objectively have very
little reasons left to hope. For one thing, the Washington ‘swamp’ will
not be drained. If anything, the swamp has triumphed. We can only
find some degree of solace in two undeniable facts:
- Hillary would have been far worse than any version of a Trump Presidency.
- In order to defeat Trump, the US deep state has had to terribly
weaken the US and the AngloZionist Empire. Just like Erdogan’ purges
have left the Turkish military in shambles, the anti-Trump ‘color
revolution’ has inflicted terrible damage on the reputation, authority
and even credibility of the USA.
The first one is obvious. So let me clarify the second one. In
their hate-filled rage against Trump and the American people (aka “the
basket of deplorables”) the Neocons have had to show they true face. By
their rejection of the outcome of the elections, by their riots, their
demonization of Trump, the Neocons have shown two crucial things: first,
that the US democracy is a sad joke and that they, the Neocons, are an
occupation regime which rules against the will of the American people.
In other words, just like Israel, the USA has no legitimacy left. And
since, just like Israel, the USA are unable to frighten their enemies,
they are basically left with nothing, no legitimacy, no ability to
coerce. So yes, the Neocons have won. But their victory is removes the
last chance for the US to avoid a collapse.
Trump, for all his faults, did favor the US, as a country, over the
global Empire. Trump was also acutely aware that ‘more of the same’ was
not an option. He wanted policies commensurate with the actual
capabilities of the USA. With Flynn gone and the Neocons back in full
control – this is over. Now we are going to be right back to ideology
over reality.
Trump probably could have made America, well, maybe not “great
again”, but at least stronger, a major world power which could negotiate
and use its leverage to get the best deal possible from the others.
That’s over now. With Trump broken, Russia and China will go right back
to their pre-Trump stance: a firm resistance backed by a willingness
and capability to confront and defeat the USA at any level.
I am quite sure that nobody today is celebrating in the Kremlin.
Putin, Lavrov and the others surely understand exactly what happened.
It is as if Khodorkovsy would have succeeded in breaking Putin in 2003.
In fact, I have to credit Russian analysts who for several
weeks already have been comparing Trump to Yanukovich, who also was
elected by a majority of the people and who failed to show the resolve
needed to stop the ‘color revolution’ started against him. But if Trump
is the new Yanukovich, will the US become the next Ukraine?
Flynn was very much the cornerstone of the hoped-for Trump foreign
policy. There was a real chance that he would reign in the huge,
bloated and all-powerful three letter agencies and that he would focus
US power against the real enemy of the West: the Wahabis. With Flynn
gone, this entire conceptual edifice has now come down. We are going to
be left with the likes of Mattis and his anti-Iranian statements.
Clowns who only impress other clowns.
Today Neocon victory is a huge event and it will probably be
completely misrepresented by the official media. Ironically, Trump
supporters will also try minimize it all. But the reality is that
barring a most unlikely last-minute miracle, it’s over for Trump and the
hopes of millions of people in the USA and the rest of the world who
had hoped that the Neocons could be booted out of power by means of a
peaceful election. That is clearly not going to happen.
I see very dark clouds on the horizon.

UPDATE1: Just
to stress an important point: the disaster is not so much that Flynn is
out but what Trump’s caving in to the Neocon tells us about Trump’s
character (or lack thereof). Ask yourself – after what happened to
Flynn, would you stick your neck out for Trump?
UPDATE2: Just as predicted – the Neocons are celebrating and, of course, doubling-down:
