After
many, many years in the “patriot” movement, it is my studied opinion
that most of the so-called patriots who claim to “get it” really don’t.
Ditto for most of the “patriot” radio talk show hosts, columnists and
Internet bloggers. The reality is that there are very few people who
seem to truly understand the big picture and who possess the sagacity to
discern the real war that is raging around us—which helps to explain,
of course, why nothing much ever changes.
What follows are three of the tell-tale signs that people truly do NOT get it.
1. They believe that the Deep State is mostly confined to the Democrat Party and people such as George Soros.
In
essence, these folks are totally immersed in the Republican-Democrat,
left-right, conservative-liberal false paradigm. Soros has helped
finance both Democrats and Republicans (including Donald Trump). And
while so-called conservative Republicans use George Soros as a poster
child of the enemy, they RUN to Las Vegas to meet with Sheldon Adelson
in hopes of procuring his financial and political blessings. And,
frankly, between the two, Adelson is a hundred times more dangerous to
our liberties than Soros. Yet, “conservatives” love Adelson and despise
Soros.
These people truly do NOT get it.
By
definition, the Deep State is not conspicuous. It is hidden deeply out
of sight where it can work unobserved and unfettered. Furthermore, the
Deep State moves comfortably and seamlessly among both the Democrat and
Republican parties. The Deep State will use conservatives as effectively
as liberals and vice versa. It uses Democrats to attack our 2nd
Amendment liberties and Republicans to attack our 4th Amendment
liberties. No matter which party is in control of the Congress or the
White House, the Deep State agenda presses on almost unimpeded—and, yes,
that includes having Donald Trump in the White House.
People
such as George Soros are merely headliners to give “patriots” a visible
target to shoot at, while the real power brokers infiltrate many of the
very organizations that are openly opposing people such as Soros.
Understand
this: All of the bitterness and political hate speech going on between
liberals and conservatives, between Democrats and Republicans, is
nothing but public theater. Some of the rancor and bitterness is indeed
genuine, of course, while some of it is as phony as a three dollar bill.
But ALL of it only serves to provide cover for the real power brokers
who are manipulating the left and the right for their own purposes.
Deep
State moguls couldn’t care less about all of the arguing and bickering
going on between the two parties, except as it provides them with an
effective distraction from the things they really care about, knowing
that at the end of the day, both parties will continue to further their
agenda.
People who are caught up in the phony left-right paradigm truly do NOT get it.
2. They believe that Islamists are our enemies and Zionists are our friends.
On this subject, the vast majority of evangelical Christians are proving themselves to be absolute dupes. Think this through:
On
the one hand, “Christians” and “conservatives” spend countless hours,
expend limitless energy and spend millions of dollars demonizing
Muslims. The threat of Muslims justifies the “War on Terror.” The
threat of Muslims justifies a burgeoning Police State. The threat of
Muslims is promoted in fundraising letters, periodicals, books, radio
broadcasts, TV shows, etc., by practically every “conservative”
political and religious organization in the country.
Part
of Donald Trump’s popularity among “conservatives” and “Christians” is
the manner in which he invokes fear of and hatred toward Muslims. Ditto
for the vast majority of Christian pastors and television evangelists.
They all promote the mass killing of Muslims in Afghanistan, Iraq,
Syria, Iran, Lebanon, Somalia, Pakistan, etc.
But
on the other hand, they all happily endorse sending billions of dollars
in arms and munitions to the Muslims in Saudi Arabia. Muslims in Iran
are said to be our enemies, but Muslims in Saudi Arabia are our
“allies.” REALLY? What kind of hallucinogenic are they ingesting?
The
truth is, the most violent, bloodthirsty people in the Muslim world
today are the Wahhabi Muslims in Saudi Arabia. Wahhabis are the ones who
were used to form terror groups such as ISIS, al-Nusra,
etc. Wahhabis are the ones who are murdering thousands of innocent men,
women and children in Yemen and throughout the Middle East and Northern
Africa. Wahhabis are the ones who round up and torture, maim,
dismember, imprison and murder Christians, Jews AND non-Wahhabi Muslims
within Saudi Arabia. If you believe the official story of 9/11, it was
Wahhabi Muslims from Saudi Arabia that flew those jets into the Twin
Towers.
Yet,
America sends billions of dollars in weapons to the Wahhabi Muslims in
Saudi Arabia—and “conservatives” and “Christians” are all for it. A few
days ago, TV evangelist Pat Robertson used his vast Christian
Broadcasting Network (CBN) to defend America’s friendship and
partnership with the Wahhabi Muslims in Saudi Arabia.
Why
must Americans hate and bomb and kill Shia Muslims in Iran and Syria,
while at the same time, we must befriend, partner with, and finance
Wahhabi Muslims in Saudi Arabia—and even look the other way as they
inflict the cruelest and most evil acts of barbarity and bloodshed?
I
submit that what Saudi Prince Salman did to U.S. resident journalist
Khashoggi (attack and kill him) and what Congressman Greg Gianforte did
to London Guardian newspaper reporter Ben Jacobs (attack and body slam
him) was only a difference of degree. Both journalists were attacked
(because a member of the power elite didn’t like what they were
reporting): One was injured; the other was killed. But it was the same
evil, hate-filled heart that committed both crimes. And Donald Trump
fully supports both of these vicious attackers. (Oh! Did I mention that
Gianforte is very rich? He is.) But I digress.
Where
is the fear mongering and hate mongering toward the Wahhabi Muslims of
Saudi Arabia from America’s “conservatives” and “Christians?”
I’m
telling you: People who want to demonize the Muslim states (except
Saudi Arabia, of course) and idolize the State of Israel do NOT get
it—not in any form or fashion.
I strongly encourage readers to get my 15-message, 7-DVD series The Israel Package.
For many years I, too, was caught up in the Israel deception—until I
began to honestly and objectively study the issue for myself. These 15
messages contain the truth about the State of Israel. If God could open
my eyes to the truth about Israel, He can open the eyes of others—IF
they have a truly objective, honest heart and mind, of course. This
package of 15 messages and 7 DVDs is discounted significantly in order
to help people purchase it. I hope you will order The Israel Package.
3. They believe that Donald Trump is a superhero who is fighting the Deep State.
These people truly do NOT get it.
Again,
the Deep State is apolitical. Left and right, conservative and liberal
mean nothing to the Deep State. Until the American people wake up to
that fact—and wake up to the fact that the primary focus and agenda of
the Deep State is PERPETUAL WAR—they will always be in the dark about
the Deep State.
For
the Deep State, the name of the game is WAR. War advances the goals and
enriches the pockets of Deep State moguls more than anything else in
the world. “Nation-building,” “regime-change,” “fighting terror,”
“exporting democracy,” etc., are the rubrics under which the Deep State
wages its perpetual never-ending wars. This is what the Deep State is
all about.
To
know whether a politician—especially a President—is in the pocket of
the Deep State, look no further than the way he or she wages war. And
anyone who is even halfway objective and awake can see that Donald Trump
has become one of the Deep State’s most effective servants.
I’ll
say it straight out: The Deep State doesn’t hate or fear Donald Trump;
it loves Donald Trump, because Donald Trump is the warmonger’s
warmonger.
We
now know that Donald Trump’s administration puts all previous
presidents to shame. The Pentagon’s numbers show that during George W.
Bush’s eight years he averaged 24 bombs dropped per day, which is 8,750
per year. Over the course of Obama’s time in office, his military
dropped 34 bombs per day, 12,500 per year. And in Trump’s first year in office, he averaged 121 bombs dropped per day, for an annual total of 44,096.
The
United States’ economy is a military-industrial complex. Therefore any
multilateral arms control treaty that limits weapons and war tensions is
by definition incompatible with the functioning of American-style
capitalism.
President
Donald Trump’s announced intention of withdrawing the US from the 1987
Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty is but the latest move by
Washington in undoing decades of hard-won arms controls agreements.
The
US unilaterally scrapped the Anti-Ballistic Missiles (ABM) Treaty back
in 2002 under then-President GW Bush. That breach of a decades-old
treaty has led to the installation of American missile systems in Europe
ever-closer to Russian territory, as the US-led NATO military alliance
relentlessly expanded eastwards.
By
abandoning the INF, the US will have license to expand missile forces
towards Russian and Chinese territory. Such an aggressive move could not
be done openly for political reasons. Therefore, Washington is finding a
pretext for its own violations by accusing Moscow of breaching the INF.
Russia has repeatedly rejected US
claims that it has violated the treaty, pointing out that the American
side has never presented evidence to back up its claims.
The
bigger picture [is] the US economy as a war-driven system. With an
annual spend of over $700 billion on military – about half the total
discretionary US budget and multiples more than any other foreign nation
– the American economy is dependent on its military-industrial complex.
That monstrous deformation of American capitalism, first warned by
President Eisenhower in 1961, can only exist in the realm of relentless
weapons production. That, in turn, relies on the US constantly creating
global tensions and uncertainty, even to the point of inciting war.
This
is why John Bolton shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near US foreign
policy. This [pulling out of the INF treaty] would undo decades of
bipartisan arms control dating from Reagan. We shouldn’t do it.
The
US is saturated with weapons and doesn't need a new nuclear build-up,
former congressman Ron Paul has told RT, commenting on President Donald
Trump's threat to quit the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces in Europe
(INF) treaty.
The
former Republican congressman and head of the Ron Paul Institute for
Peace and Prosperity told RT that he doesn't believe a potential US
withdrawal from the 1987 treaty would do anything to enhance US
security.
Trump,
if he follows through with his threat and tears down the landmark
treaty, signed between US President Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev, "won't do us any good," Paul said.
The
US military industrial complex will try to justify the nuclear build-up
by pointing to China's militarization, a growing source of concern for
the military establishment.
"It
means that the American government, the military industrial complex
wants to make a lot more weapons, because it is the Chinese: 'The
Chinese are making all those weapons, why can't' we?'"
Paul doesn't believe that the supposed Chinese menace is a legitimate reason to keep churning out more weapons.
“We
have enough weapons, not only to self-destruct but to destroy the world
10 times over and we don't need to worry about not having enough
weapons around.”
If the US pulls out of the treaty, it's not because there is any need for more weaponry.
"I don't think that's a real argument," Paul said.
It
has taken the US military/security complex 31 years to get rid of
President Reagan’s last nuclear disarmament achievement—the INF Treaty
that President Reagan and Soviet President Gorbachev achieved in 1987.
The
Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces Treaty was ratified by the US Senate
on May 27, 1988 and became effective a few days later on June 1. Behind
the scenes, I had some role in this, and as I remember what the treaty
achieved was to make Europe safe from nuclear attack by Soviet short and
intermediate range missiles, and to make the Soviet Union safe from US
attack from short and intermediate range US nuclear missiles in Europe.
By restricting nuclear weapons to ICBMs, which allowed some warning
time, thus guaranteeing retaliation and non-use of nuclear weapons, the
INF Treaty was regarded as reducing the risk of an American first-strike
on Russia and a Russian first-strike on Europe, strikes that could be
delivered by low-flying cruise missiles with next to zero warning time.
When
President Reagan appointed me to a secret Presidential committee with
subpoena power over the CIA, he told the members of the secret committee
that his aim was to bring the Cold War to an end, with the result that,
in his words, “those God-awful nuclear weapons would be dismantled.”
President Reagan, unlike the crazed neoconservatives, who he fired and
prosecuted, saw no point in nuclear war that would destroy all life on
earth. The INF Treaty was the beginning, in Reagan’s mind, of the
elimination of nuclear weapons from military arsenals. The INF Treaty
was chosen as the first start because it did not substantially threaten
the budget of the US military/security complex, and actually increased
the security of the Soviet military. In other words, it was something
that Reagan and Gorbachev could get past their own military
establishments. Reagan hoped that as trust built, more nuclear
disarmament would proceed.
Now
that President Reagan’s remaining achievement has been destroyed, what
are the consequences of the Trump administration’s concession to the
profits of the US military/security complex?
There are many, none good.
The
massive US military/security complex profits will increase as more
increasingly scarce American resources flow into the production of
intermediate range missiles in order to counter “the Russian threat.”
The Republicans will want to pay for this by cutting Social Security and
Medicare.
The
Zionist neoconservatives now have their hope rekindled of
re-establishing American and Israeli hegemony with an undetected first
strike nuclear cruise missile attack on Russia.
The
vast majority of the peoples in the world have no idea what is
happening. They are trying to find or to keep jobs, to provide housing
and food, to find the money for a mortgage or car or credit card payment
in the US, and in much of the world water to drink and a bit of food to
eat. They are stressed out. They have no energy to confront bad news or
to figure out what is happening.
Donald
Trump’s war fever is dangerously high. No wonder quintessential war
hawk Senator Lindsey Graham suddenly loves Donald Trump. Trump is
pushing the war envelope to every part of the globe. Iran, Syria,
Pakistan, India, Russia, China and Venezuela are all under threat of
imminent military—or even nuclear—attack by Donald Trump. Is Trump a
madman, or is he merely the Deep State’s most loyal subject? It really
won’t matter when the mushroom clouds start going up.
Anyone who believes that Donald Trump is fighting the Deep State truly does NOT get it.
There
are many more tell-tale signs of how to identify people who do NOT get
it, of course. But none are more glaring than the three listed in this
column. Remember these signs as you listen to your “patriot” friends and
our politicians talk, and they will never be able to buffalo you again.
