Frankly, I am the last person who should be defending President Trump as, it seems, he is getting ready to throw us, the Palestinian people, to the Israeli wolves, and I should probably be joining all the haters in bashing him. While I had decided to reserve judgment on this subject, it doesn’t look good, does it? It is also obvious by now that Bibi has been given free rein, untethered, unharnessed to rampage across the entire region as he pleases, which means that it could all go up in flames again continuing the tragedy, heartache and injustice. Nevertheless, what I am defending is not Trump, per se, in as much as I am wondering what the American anti-Trump hysteria is really all about, and who but the war-mongering Conspiracy is to gain from it?
This anti-Trump, anti-Russia hysteria that is gripping the nation is beyond anything that I’ve ever witnessed, and it is sweeping people into a mindless insanity. There is no doubt that President Trump’s style is jarring, to say the least, plus he is often offensive and abrasive, and back-tracking/misspeaking has become another one of his signature traits. It is also obvious that he trusts very few people, and I can’t say I blame him in this odoriferous cesspool that is Washington, DC. I wonder, sometimes though, does he mean all that he says and Tweets, or does he simply want to continue sucking the oxygen out of the planet and keeping us all focused on Himself? Nevertheless, what is going on is beyond criticism and opposition. That is why I absolutely believe that there is a Conspiracy (you can call it the Deep State, if you wish), with our vaunted MSM being the leading tool of this heinous Cabal which is yanking the chains of the “sheeple” (people who think they are smart humans, while in reality they are being herded like sheep) and impelling them towards this acrimonious and disgusting display of rage. They get away with it, too, because we are living in the No Filter Era where there are no manners, no boundaries, or any sense of responsibility. Where do they want this to go when there is so much unrest in the world already, our planet is ailing dramatically and injustice is being overlooked? We can all disagree with Trump, we can all be against the doings of his Administration, we should definitely voice our dissent, but it is terribly immature, sleazy and dangerous to go to this raucous and low – very low! – expression of our feelings. Behaviors have consequences, and, in this case, they could be very dire!
Unfortunately, the political leadership, so-called Democrats, Progressives, and Leftists who are anti-Trump, are not behaving sensibly or responsibly either. They are all hypocrites and war-mongers driven by pure opportunism, vengeance and malice.
I am very wary of some of the things that Trump and his Administration are doing and at the oftentimes bawdy way in which they are conducting themselves. However, I have not come across one single intelligent reason as to why these are grounds for: High Crimes and Misdemeanors? Treason? Impeachment? Perp walking him out of the White House? Hyped slogans, full of hate and not grounded in any convincing argument. What is even more bewildering is how otherwise smart people and otherwise respectable writers and journalists have jumped on this outraged bandwagon with an unprecedented venom.
Why are they against a rapprochement with Putin, with Kim and with any so-called “enemy?” This is Treason? Really? Those losing their brains over this are idiots and war-mongers and are encouraging those same nefarious elements that want to see this country in a perpetual state of war. And is Russia the only threat out there? Seriously? “They meddled in our elections” is the most banal, bizarre slogan that I have ever heard, especially when we are the foremost meddlers in every election of almost every country on the planet, while continuing to deny this proven fact. Just last week the exposures came out about our meddling in resource-rich Cameroon, and we are still haranguing Venezuela – they sit on a lot of oil, baby, and Exxon wants it no strings attached, and there’s Nicaragua, Iran . . . and . . . and! The other flimsy argument is that they occupied Crimea/Ukraine. Anybody who says that is ignorant, because Russia would not have occupied Ukraine were it not for our beloved Allies, the Europeans, and NATO with their malicious creeping up to Russia’s borders. Maybe the MSM should tell us the real story about that, not the propaganda? But wait, what for? They prefer us to remain Ignorant! Incidentally, when will we set in motion the plot to topple, defame and smear the new “Leftist” Mexican President, as we did so many other “Leftists” going back to seventy years ago of our choreographed coups, assassinations and more??!! And then we get indignant about Russian meddling? Seriously?
Moreover, we blamed Putin, Russia and Assad for a chemical attack in Douma, Syria and were about to start WWIII over the incident as our MSM went cheering and urging an invasion, when recently the OPCW (Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons) ruled definitively that there were no chemicals at all? Did any of the MSM even mention this? Retract? Apologize? Not on your life! They are burgeoning with deceit, smugness and corruption, while wailing that Free Press is vital to a democracy. What Free Press when they are all paid hacks?! Absolutely disgusting!
Maintaining a defunct status quo with NATO, or anyone else, is oftentimes detrimental to the whole world. Colonialism was such. Apartheid was such. Slavery was such. Women being second-class citizens was such. And the list goes on. So, maybe, Trump is onto something here? Let’s get this straight: NATO is an alliance whose sole aim is the preservation of The Continent, its Wealth, its Power and its Interests. They were, and will remain, tacit Colonists. The US role is merely serving its own interests of domination across the world by whatever means necessary, not that this is working anymore. That era is over! There are other world powers who will not bend to NATO’s, or America’s will anymore. WWIII? The next few years will be interesting in this regard as re-alignments, reconfigurations and shifting alliances come into play.
Despite all the efforts of the Conspiracy, life goes on, the world goes on, and I have yet to witness the cataclysmic shocks as a result of two years of Trump. I will say again that I remember quite clearly the Reagan years and how the sky was falling then with all of Reagan’s terrible policies, and then, how it didn’t? It’s not going to this time either, so chill! Chill at least until Mueller comes out with his report and possibly then all the anti-Trumpists might – just, might! – have grounds for their lunatic behavior. Otherwise, go vote him out! Trump the Trump! Meanwhile stop this insanity and hysteria. There are vital issues besetting this nation and the world which are being totally underreported. All this drivel spewing out of radios, televisions, newspapers and social media simply because any hater can spew their toxicity, plus the huge media profits to be made, as well as sleazy Conspirators to satisfy is utterly sad and unbecoming of the richest, most powerful and exceptional(?) nation on the face of the planet, with all its educated(?) citizens!!!! I am all for a Real, Authentic, Fact-based Opposition to Trump. I am not for the nefarious entities yanking the slavish yokes of a nation gone berserk! Wake up, America’s sheeple, before it’s too late!
