Following in the footsteps of Obama’s precedent-setting record
signing one executive order after the next, in his first couple weeks as president,
Donald Trump is resorting to using the same nonstop, end-around executive
orders that willfully defy, undermine and violate our constitutional checks
and balances system requiring both Congressional approval and judicial
oversight. Moreover, Trump’s actions in his first few days in power reflect a
dangerous level of aggressive, in-our-face extremism,
an unwillingness and hubris to even bother negotiating, compromising or otherwise
cooperating with those who disagree or oppose him. Reacting to the Orlando
false flag last June, Trump said he’d impose an immigration ban on Muslims.
When his future secretary of defense then retired General James
Mattis was asked about Trump’s reactionary hardline stance, Mattis replied
that it would cause our allies in the Islamic world to conclude that:
We have lost faith in reason…. They think we’ve completely
lost it. This kind of thing is causing us great damage right now, and it’s
sending shock waves through this international system.
With a history of both Democrat
and Republican establishment together with mainstream media vehemently challenging,
lying
and opposing his every move, the Donald is smart enough to be fully aware that
his direct assault on Muslims, his unabashed advent of “bringing back” torture
(as though it ever really left), including the heinously illegal practice of
waterboarding and other enhanced “interrogation” techniques, would be
guaranteed to generate massive pushback from all corners of the globe. With his
signature he instantly left thousands of Muslims stranded at airports and
around the nation and world holding green cards and US visas in a state of shock
and limbo.
Up to a half
million permanent residents in the US from those seven countries are
affected. Adding further insult to injury, that same executive order calls for
sending more Islamic prisoners to Guantanamo. Yet President Trump went ahead with
his over-the-top agenda anyway, almost as if he’s following orders from the powers-that-shouldn’t-be
to intentionally create global havoc
and chaos right out of the gate, something the ruling
elite’s been bent on materializing for numerous decades now.
The president’s immigration ban bars all Muslims from the
same 7 nations on Cheney-Bush’s vis-à-vis General Wesley Clark’s regime
change list (except this time Yemen
replaces Lebanon) from entering the United States. Banning all citizens from
these 7 nations – Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Somalia, Sudan and Iran -where
US Empire wars since 2001 have and still are bombing and murdering four
million plus Muslims to date (exception being Iran which Trump may bomb
next), is unconstitutional - discriminating against targeted groups based exclusively
on nationality and religion. Prior to becoming vice president, even Mike
Pence agreed it is “unconstitutional and offensive,” though he lacks the
moral courage to say so now. The ban is currently being challenged in court on two
fronts – 1st Amendment freedom of religion and 5th Amendment
right to due process. But unfortunately, on immigration matters the standing
president has historically been legally granted wide powers.
Additionally, not
one immigrant from those 7 targeted nations has ever committed terrorism and
killed Americans on US soil. In contrast over
90% of all terrorist attacks in America have been committed by non-Muslim right
wing extremists (though often state
sponsored by the US government). Meanwhile, the home of the Wahhabi brand
of terrorism that inspires al Qaeda and ISIS is Saudi
Arabia that more than any other single nation has proven to be terrorism’s
biggest financier and sponsor in the Middle East and beyond. Yet this
US-Israeli ally along with Egypt and other Gulf State monarchies that also
sponsor terrorism were all conspicuously excluded from Trump’s list. More
evidence that our president, Netanyahu and the House
of Saud as an evil triumvirate are still all working together as partners-in-crime.
If Trump truly wanted to increase national security,
repairing the open border damage caused by his predecessor Obama, he would have
quietly yet openly begun strengthening the vetting process while simply
enforcing existing immigration laws. Subsequent resistance would have been
minimal. But being the grandstanding, pugnaciously narcissistic
extremist that he is, Trump purposely chose to unleash this highly controversial
anti-Muslim bombshell that he knew would only
polarize, divide and drive an already divided
America and world perilously further apart.
But then Trump’s puppet masters wouldn’t have it any other
way. In reality the Trump ascendancy is an elitist function of promoting the
antithesis of the previous president in order to masquerade the same unending
cycle of neocon imperialism that’s controlled US foreign policy all along. As
the elite’s tool the US Empire created Islamic jihadists
as proxy weapons to fight the Russians in Afghanistan throughout the 1980’s, fight
the Serbs in Yugoslavia
throughout the 1990’s, and then as stooges in the 9/11 false flag to create the fake war on terror on
behalf of US Empire hegemony and the Greater
Israel Project. Things don’t really change as history just keeps repeating
itself until lessons are ultimately learned. And they still haven’t been
learned.
Trump has to have realized that his extremist anti-Muslim executive
order would create a just as extreme backlash from all his opponents with all
too obvious consequences. Producing instant calamitous results, a mere week
into his administration, and once again we’re now stuck with a thoroughly gridlocked,
dysfunctional Washington again with zero chance of ever constructively moving
forward from this moment on, least of all for the betterment of the American
people. But the puppet masters want an incompetent, floundering government
incapable of working in unison to enhance the lives of the average everyday
citizen. Bipartisan unity is only exercised when operating as an oligarchy in
the best interests of the oligarchs who own them. And unfortunately, Trump
is no different. He is neither a maverick nor an outsider, but an antithetical plant to Obama
placed in the White House by the ruling elite.
Trump was fully cognizant that his across-the-boards ban on
Muslim countries would hand over powerful ammo to all his legions of sworn
enemies who’ve forever branded him a dangerous racist
fascist dictator, giving their anti-Trump rhetoric far more credible clout,
while undermining and jeopardizing Trump’s populist claim to fame. Furthermore,
Trump also had to know that aggressively promoting such extreme anti-Muslim
policies would only increase
hate crimes and the already preexisting prejudice against the 1.6 billion
scapegoated Muslims worldwide. Aside from his most hardcore, Islamophobic
fan base, few can be pleased by this latest turn of events. But the rash of
anti-Muslim and racist hate
crimes that swept the country immediately following his Election Day
victory was just the beginning. 2015, the year Trump announced his candidacy
for president, hate crimes against Muslims surged
67%.
Just like predictable clockwork, two immediate anti-Muslim
hate crimes went down as if they were preplanned. Within several hours after
signing Trump’s anti-Muslim executive order, a mosque and Muslim center in
Victoria, Texas was set
ablaze and then shortly afterwards another mosque in Quebec
City, Canada was attacked by a French Canadian white nationalist posing as what
is likely the latest “lone gunman” patsy after killing 6 Muslim worshippers and
injuring eight more. Initially the suspect was reported to be a Moroccan
national yelling the familiar chant “Allahu
Akbar,” a commonly heard thread in a number of past false flags involving
state sponsored Islamic stooges. The initially arrested Moroccan was later identified
as a witness who called 9-1-1 and was subsequently released, and the Islamic
expression was likely a victim calling out to God as the bullets flew by. Other
eyewitnesses were claiming two or three
masked gunmen were involved yet one alleged white racist lone gunman [again] was
arrested and charged. The shooting came a day after Canadian Prime Minister
Justin Trudeau had welcomed the first Muslim refugees into the country, playing
the role of the compassionate multiculturalist
leader, not unlike Merkel and Obama. This globalist scripted scene has been
played out with disastrous results all over Europe and now North America.
The probability that all these perfectly synchronized, seemingly
coordinated, related events unfolded in such rapid order appears preplanned and
staged right after the Trump Muslim ban went into effect. It seems far more
plausible to be the premeditated outcome of yet another sinister false flag
event than purely random or coincidental. Already having the early earmarks of state
sponsored terrorism, the Quebec shooting is likely designed to incite global
chaos, instability, fear and race and religious wars. It’s also another classic
example of the Hegelian
“problem, reaction, solution” sequence, always leading to increased
authoritarian state control. By design, the ever-increasing violent world stage
has been meticulously set, and now that the elite’s latest installed White
House puppet is busily flailing about, doing what he does best to piss off the
entire planet in order to accelerate the globalist destabilization and
destruction agenda that thanks to Mr. Volatility is now fully operational and on
steroids.
Closer to home in Washington, in retaliation for Trump’s
Muslim ban, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and all his bandwagon
Democrats have already promised to block
every Trump cabinet
and Supreme
Court nominee from here on out, and with the vast majority still not
confirmed, this headless horseman running wild is rapidly plunging America and the
jittery world into further chaos and unprecedented oblivion. For only the
second time in modern history, a Supreme Court nominee
that Trump just announced will be filibustered in the Senate. Democrats plan to
filibuster the Trump high court appointee as a tit-for-tat payback for
rejecting Obama’s selection last year. Also as an immediate consequence to the
Muslim ban, Senator Jeff
Sessions was due to become the nation’s attorney general but now has been held
up and potentially rejected. To further block Sessions’ chances is the fact that
one of his protégés, White House senior advisor Stephen
Miller, actually wrote the Muslim ban E.O that millions are railing against.
Meanwhile, the drama heated up when Trump’s acting attorney
general Sally Yates held over from the Obama administration ordered the Justice
Department to not defend the Muslim ban based on its unconstitutional grounds,
the president promptly fired
and replaced her with loyal Trump enforcer Eastern Virginia District US
attorney Dana Boente. This only added more fuel to the flames.
A couple days earlier over this last weekend Trump had a cordial
and productive meeting of the minds in an hour long phone conversation with Vladimir
Putin. But a day in advance of the anticipated phone call, the anti-Russian
Senate Republicans
sternly threatened Trump that he better not lift the sanctions against Russia
or else ol’ chicken hawk himself McCain promised:
I will work with my colleagues to codify sanctions against Russia into law.
Then after last week’s first meeting between UK Prime Minister
Theresa May and
Trump, both parted firmly committed to globalism. That was basically her
message in the form of Donald’s commitment to NATO after he’d threatened to
disband the alliance, mutual “free” trade agreements once the UK extricates
itself from the EU, no let up on the Russian sanctions (despite hurting the
spineless European vassals far more than Russia). So she left back to the
mother country satisfied she’d tamed the wayward anti-globalist. So much for
Trump’s “tough” stance fighting against the elitists and standing up for the
“America first” common man and woman.
Like Obama before him, Trump appears to be an imposter and
fraud, who, just to get himself elected, as an anti-globalist said all the right things and made all the
right promises that long-forsaken America’s literally been dying to hear. And
then once in power, Trump marches to the orders of his puppet masters the globalist
controllers. Donald Trump has surrounded himself with Zionist Goldman
Sachs bankers pushing tax cuts for the rich, one short of a dozen Jews
acting as his closest, most influential advisors, of course fully supported by the
financial
and geopolitical likes of Sheldon Adelson
and Bibi Netanyahu
respectively. Donald and Bibi’s bullying false bravado was fully present in their
responses to Obama’s parting shot with the UN Security Council’s anti-Israeli
settlement resolution, with Trump vowing to reverse it, tweeting
a warning that “things will be different after January 20th” while
Netanyahu defiantly promised he will never comply with such an order. As a
sworn diehard loyalist
to the Greater
Israel Project, Trump has promised to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem,
has very publicly backed expanding Jewish settlements in the West
Bank (defying UN, 5,500 new housing units just approved this last week
alone), has vowed to destroy the Iran
nuke deal, and already put the freeze on Obama’s last minute $221
million pledge to the genocidal victims the Palestinians.
After Iran legally tested another ballistic
missile that in no way violated the nuclear resolution, the other night Trump
tweeted that:
Iran is rapidly taking over more and more of Iraq even after
the US has squandered $3 trillion dollars there.
Because US Empire nearly destroyed the nation of Iraq twice
in back-to-back decades of illegal
war, and then more recently never really fought but only protected
and resupplied
the supposed common enemy the al Qaeda/ISIS terrorists that the US
created, unlike the US, Iraq’s neighbor Iran was invited to righteously assist Iraq
in successfully beating
back the terrorists
this last year. Yet Trump calls that “taking over” after the US invaded,
occupied and singlehandedly caused
a sectarian civil war in Iraq lasting over a decade now and has since redeployed
GI boots on the ground with intent to remain
there indefinitely. It’s a complete no brainer identifying who the real aggressor
has been in Iraq and it’s not Iran.
The Empire of chaos and destruction killed over a half
million children in the first Gulf War alone bombing water
sewage plants and inflicting inhumane economic UN sanctions under war criminal
George H. W. Bush only to have junior a few years later murder millions more
Iraqi citizens under the false pretense/fake news of WMD’s and ties
to terrorism. From 1990-2012 the US and UK were responsible for slaughtering
3.3 million Iraqis including 750,000 children. The Bushes, Clintons and Obama
need to be held accountable for their genocidal crimes against humanity
perpetrated all over the Middle East, North Africa and beyond. It’s totally
obvious that Trump’s ready to just do more of the same dirty bidding, joining
the long line of neocons bent on bombing
Tehran as the final conquest on their infamous 7 nation regime change (and Trump
travel ban) list. In case you haven’t figured out, President Trump is no
different from any of the other past war criminals who occupied the White House.
As if that’s not enough to show his true bloody red colors,
Trump’s decision to revive the Keystone and DAPL pipelines
while selecting as his foreign policy front man the Exxon CEO guarantees
continued earthly raping and pillaging. After all, last September it was the
oil looter Trump who insisted that the US should have just “taken
the Iraq oil as spoils of war.” And to enforce his brute force lawlessness
militarily, Trump invited three tough guy retired generals forced into
retirement under Obama to become key members in his administration, assuring
that the military industrial complex profits from promoting the Empire’s next round
of manufactured neocon wars of terror. In the first few days in office, do you
see any real difference between Trump and the Bush-Clinton-Obama 4-decade old
reign of terror that preceded him?
On a side note, there’s been some inner squabbling and unprecedented
shuffling over the Trump pecking
order at the White House - Rasputin-esque, alt-right guru Steve Bannon’s
suddenly been promoted to not only Trump’s chief political advisor, but is now
a member of the Donald National Security Council daily briefings as well, at
the expense of National Security Advisor retired General Michael Flynn who’s apparently
been demoted to attend the inner circle only on an “as needed basis.” Similarly,
General Joseph Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff will also
give way to Mike Pompeo, the CIA director also joining the permanent Council
for the first time since 2005.
Another disturbing development is the fact that the dust
from the inauguration day bedlam
hadn’t even settled when Trump the very next day rushed straight over to the CIA
headquarters to swoon the elite’s private army of hitmen loyal to his
supposed enemy the Clinton-Bush gang after months attempting to destroy Trump
from ever becoming president over the
lie that Putin influenced election results. The facts are that CIA operations
engineer
virtually all acts of terrorism on earth, largely control the international drug
flow and money laundering,
and are globally the Mockingbird controllers
of mainstream media. Former CIA director William Colby once boasted:
The CIA owns all the primary anchors and major news outlets
across the land. Just listen to them – if you can stand it – or read the utter
drivel on the front page of every newspaper, and this conclusion becomes
self-evident.
Is this formidably lethal power of the CIA why the brand new
president’s first order of business was kissing CIA’s ass? Was it a transparent
plea for Trump’s own life because like Kennedy
before him, Trump had also made overtures to abolish the CIA altogether? Or did
he just wish to smooth over any ruffled feathers to ensure the furtherance of CIA
business as usual under his watch with yet more false flag terrorism, approval
of more black
site torture worldwide and more illegal wartime atrocities under the false
pretense of the neocons’ forever war on terror? Additionally, the CIA has been
historically responsible for creating,
funding, training and supporting terrorist groups like al Qaeda, ISIS and al
Nusra, so it doesn’t quite add up that Trump would be “supporting the CIA 1000%”
if he in fact is at all serious about destroying either ISIS or the CIA.
Is President Trump actually planning to obliterate ISIS or
simply continue to use terrorism as the US Empire’s secret proxy war tool the
same way for almost four decades that all previous presidential administrations
under the Bush-Clinton-Obama dynasty have? It appears based on Trump’s earliest
actions as commander-in-chief, wanting designated “safe
zones” in Syria, that he’s gunning for the same demands insisted upon by the
Obama-Kerry-Hillary
ilk. Per General Dunford, this would require deploying at least 30,000
US ground troops, potentially costing significant casualties to physically secure,
control and continue guarding a safe or no fly zone, i.e., equivalent to waging
all-out war. That Trump is contemplating such a major offensive in Syria itself
is extremely alarming. His ordering his military honchos to come up with a plan
for safe zones within a month without even consulting
his alleged anti-terrorist partner Russia that all along has been dead set
against “safe-aka-no fly zones” also casts further doubts over Trump’s true
motives in the Middle East. His geostrategy seems to have changed from
noninterventionism as a candidate to escalating yet more neocon wars as president.
Last Friday Trump made his first trip over to the Pentagon
to issue yet another aggressive executive action ordering the military to
prepare for World
War III, announcing an enormous military buildup that includes nuclear
armaments for future war against “near peer competitors,” clearly targeting
China but even Russia and Iran as well. By now it’s obvious that Trump intends
to move completely away from his campaign promise to get rid of NATO and change
the US hegemonic course adopting a noninterventionist
foreign policy as his executive action is now calling for stepping up military
action in Syria and elsewhere, including pursuit of encircling China over the disputed
hotspot
the South China Sea.
Then one more unsettling piece in the Trump chessboard
puzzle is Erik Prince, the notorious ex-Blackwater mercenary founder whose
sister Betsy
DeVos is Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Education (devoted to pushing a
privatized school voucher system, complete with a creationism and pseudoscience
curriculum). Prince has apparently become a key, behind-the-scenes personal
advisor to the president and his administration staff on security and defense
matters. Last July Erik Prince openly advocated bringing back the murderous Phoenix
program under the counterterrorism rubric applying it to the Middle East
purportedly to root out ISIS/al Qaeda operatives and their funding sources.
Subsequent to its first development and use in Vietnam, over
the decades the Phoenix model has been “refined” and redeployed
in every destabilizing, nation-destroying debacle the Empire has engaged in,
repeatedly in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Yemen to name a few of the more
overt operations. But with US Special Forces occupying at least 135 countries around the
world presently, the Phoenix model’s hidden hand is covertly active in three
quarters of all nations on earth, including right here in America. It’s a subversive
deadly combination of psyops warfare utilizing media controlled propaganda, false
flag terrorism using patsies, and secret assassination teams and death squads
to round up, detain, torture and/or kill thousands of innocents targeted as
insurgent sympathizers. And make no mistake, this modus operandi is geared for
neutralizing American citizens on
US soil deemed as dissenting opposition and enemies of the state.
It’s no accident Trump’s talking up black site torture with ABC
news while off camera Blackwater’s whispering “Phoenix”
in his ear. These foreboding turn of events so early in the Trump presidency
offer an ominous and foreboding future for humanity. Already we’re seeing
status quo in Washington prevail that only protects the long existing power
structure of planetary controllers that insidiously and incessantly push closer
to world war and one world government tyranny. From this angle based on both
recent and not so recent history, it appears as though Trump’s just another Trojan
horse, rising to power on promises to champion the American people against
the common enemy globalism, but in reality he is already flagrantly betraying America’s
struggling middle and lower classes by maintaining status quo global
aggressions that exclusively benefit the elite and the neocons’ full frontal dominance.
Unless he begins launching a definitive anti-globalist offensive soon, President
Donald Trump appears just like all the rest before him to merely represent
everything nefariously diabolical within the shadow
deep state oligarchy that’s been subversively controlling America and the
planet for over a
century.
All the above fireworks currently exploding are really just
“wag the dog” subterfuge to take our eye off the bigger storm clouds gathering.
With the Dow breaking 20,000
points, happy days are not here again. On the macro-level, as the sole global
superpower only demonstrates increasing signs of economic and
political instability and mounting civil unrest before the rest of the
world, a slightly longer term consequence looms disastrous on our near horizon as
other nations lose complete confidence in America’s solvency and
stability. International creditors led by China and the foreign central banks worldwide
continue dumping their remaining US Treasury paper confetti currency at $403
billion as of last October, the largest yearly selloff ever on record, just
as the US dollar/petrodollar is about to go bust and the world’s largest debtor
nation teeters $20
trillion in the red. Compound that with the worldwide bubble of debt
derivatives ready to burst at over $700 trillion, and
the global depression sits at our doorstep. And of course the
powers-that-shouldn’t-be specifically chose Trump to be their catalytic bull in
the China shop and fall guy who’ll be left taking the heat when the elite’s
doomed-to-fail, house of cards global financial slave system implodes in the
coming months. While the economy collapses, all hell’s about to break loose with
civil
war in America and (in Trump’s words) global war against “near peer
competitors.” In the meantime, be prepared, be safe and live life to the
fullest.
