Puppet Masters
What is the result of billionaires-rule?
America has a higher percentage of its people in prison than any other nation on Earth, and none of America's prisoners are billionaires nor spouse or child of any, except for the very few organized criminals who were cheating and stealing from other billionaires (and, since billionaires rule America, that's the only type of crime a billionaire can be successfully prosecuted for perpetrating in America — crimes against other billionaires). The people who control the people who write and enforce the laws don't need to worry about prison. Almost all of America's prisoners are, in fact, poor people, not even middle-class — and virtually none are upper-class. They're born poor, live poor, and die poor.
Donald Trump, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and George W. Bush, have all had their careers funded by America's billionaires, and that's why these politicians received their respective Party's nominations. Without the billionaires' support, they'd be nothing, just losing politicians. You get the nomination by representing your Party's billionaires, not by representing its voters. Behind the scenes, even America's racial caste system is enforced on behalf of both Parties' billionaires, because supremacism is what they all share, regardless of their rhetoric to the contrary, and there is a groupist element to this supremacism. (Every aristocracy is like that — very groupist.)
Additional conditions which do not apply to the financial part are unacceptable for Belarus, Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko said when speaking about external lending during a meeting to discuss support measures for the real economic sector on the part of the banking system, reported Belarusian Telegraph Agency, BelTA.
The following open letter was signed by 103 foreign-policy experts, whose names and affiliations appear below.
U.S.-Russia relations are at a dangerous dead end that threatens the U.S. national interest. The risk of a military confrontation that could go nuclear is again real. We are drifting toward a fraught nuclear arms race, with our foreign-policy arsenal reduced mainly to reactions, sanctions, public shaming and congressional resolutions. The global Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting serious worldwide economic decline, rather than fostering cooperation, have only reinforced the current downward trajectory.
Meanwhile, the great challenges to peace and our well-being that demand U.S.-Russia cooperation, including the existential threats of nuclear war and climate change, go unattended. Because the stakes are so high, both in the dangers they entail and the costs they contain, we believe that a careful, dispassionate analysis and change of our current course are imperative.
Russia's Ambassador to the UK Andrei Kelin blames the policy of "deterrence and dialogue" towards Russia chosen by NATO and rigidly adopted by Britain. In an interview with Chinese broadcaster CGTN, the diplomat also explained that the British tendency to use his country as a political football, or bogeyman, makes Moscow reticent about investing energy in trying to improve relations.
"NATO has taken a position as a leader of the western world - a policy of deterrence and dialogue towards Russia, and London would like to be a leader in these efforts." Kelin pointed out, highlighting the influence of the US-led alliance on London's outlook. "But there is 95% deterrence and only 5% of dialogue."
Comment: Israeli media still hasn't let go of insinuating that 'Hezbollah did it' (i.e. is responsible, in one way or another, for blowing up half of Beirut last week). Wethinks the lady doth protesteth too much...
Hezbollah apparently planned to use the ammonium nitrate stockpile that caused a massive blast at Beirut's port this week against Israel in a "Third Lebanon War," according to an unsourced assessment publicized on Israel's Channel 13 Friday night.
The report was broadcast hours after Hezbollah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, gave a speech "categorically" denying that his group had stored any weapons or explosives at Beirut's port, following the massive explosion there Tuesday that has claimed over 157 lives and wounded thousands. He said:
"I would like to absolutely, categorically rule out anything belonging to us at the port. No weapons, no missiles, or bombs or rifles or even a bullet or ammonium nitrate. No cache, no nothing. Not now, not ever."Israel has not formally alleged that Hezbollah was connected to the Tuesday blast.
Comment: ...but it keeps hinting at exactly that...
The paper ran an exclusive report purportedly detailing the US president's battle with intelligence agencies over allegations that Moscow had interfered with the 2016 presidential contest. According to unnamed sources cited by the NYT, Trump was unresponsive and dismissive of an intelligence assessment which claimed that he is Russia's "favored" candidate in the 2020 race. One anonymous senior official complained to the Times that "you just didn't talk about" alleged Russian meddling with Trump, because the president "assumed you were calling his election into question."
More than ten paragraphs into the story, the NYT mentions in passing that Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation found no evidence of "collusion" between the Kremlin and Trump's election campaign. Undaunted by inconvenient facts, the long-winded feature suggests that Trump is now turning a blind eye to the Kremlin's devious machinations as the November election approaches.
Lebanon is prime John Le Carré territory. A multinational den of spies of all shades - House of Saud agents, Zionist operatives, "moderate rebel" weaponizers, Hezbollah intellectuals, debauched Arab "royalty," self-glorified smugglers - in a context of full spectrum economic disaster afflicting a member of the Axis of Resistance, a perennial target of Israel alongside Syria and Iran.
As if this were not volcanic enough, into the tragedy stepped President Trump to muddy the - already contaminated - Eastern Mediterranean waters. Briefed by "our great generals," Trump on Tuesday said: "According to them - they would know better than I would - but they seem to think it was an attack." Trump added, "it was a bomb of some kind."
Comment: Who benefits? As they say...follow the money, match the fingerprints, sit back and watch.
When Vice President Calvin Coolidge ascended to the presidency on the death of Warren Harding in 1923, a wag remarked that Silent Cal's career had exhibited unmistakable signs of celestial intervention.
Governor Coolidge vaulted to national attention during the Boston police strike of 1919, where, in a stinging letter to Sam Gompers of the AFL, he thundered: "There is no right to strike against the public safety by anybody, anywhere, any time."
If Joe Biden becomes president, celestial intervention, once again, cannot be ruled out.
Comment: Here's four of many reasons to gasp at a future Biden presidency:
- Facepalm: Biden claims that 'unlike' the Black community, 'the Latino community ... is incredibly diverse'
- 'I said the FIRST!' Brain-dead Biden boasts he has support of 'only' female African-American senator while on stage with Kamala Harris
- You ain't black' if you support Trump over me - Idiot Joe Biden to BLACK radio host
- Freudian slip? Biden in Iowa says 'poor kids' are just as smart as 'white kids'
'It's okay when Chuck Schumer says it?' Democrat senator says schools must reopen or economy suffers
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-California) and Schumer addressed the press after failed negotiations with Republicans on a potential relief bill. While many of their complaints about Republicans refusing to continue robust unemployment and other government programs was to be expected, one comment from Schumer went viral as it didn't seem to match the outrage shown to President Donald Trump when he mentioned the same thing.
"If you don't open up the schools, you're going to hurt the economy significantly," Schumer said, "because lots of people can't go to work."
The president has floated the idea of fully reopening most schools in the fall despite the coronavirus pandemic, but he has found pushback with liberal critics each and every time.
Comment: Even if Dems and Reps are on the same page, Americans are programmed to choose a side - no matter the issue.

Miriam and Sheldon Adelson present Trump with a menorah, Dec. 7, 2019.
Earlier in the week, Mr. Trump had a tense phone call with the casino magnate Sheldon G. Adelson, whom the president upbraided for not donating more to support his re-election, according to a person familiar with the call. Mr. Adelson and his wife donated $10 million to a super PAC supporting Mr. Trump in 2018, and have each written checks for nearly $600,000 during this cycle.
Comment: Curious indeed. More on Zionism's fanatical backer:
- Who is Trump's billionaire backer Sheldon Adelson? Committed to 'the Jewish people' and believes Palestinians are a 'made up people'
- Trump's largest donor's sole mission in life is to 'protect the state of Israel'
- Making Israel Great Again: Sheldon Adelson, the Zionist billionaire driving Trump's Middle East policy
- Casino mogul Sheldon Adelson to be questioned in Netanyahu probe
- 'The American friends': New court files expose Sheldon Adelson's security team involved in US spy operation against Julian Assange














Comment: IF this was an Israeli operation, then you really have to hand it to them; they have quite possibly won the 'Third Lebanon War' in one (vicious) strike.
But, maybe that's ascribing too much cunning to them. Maybe they're just cleverly taking advantage of a scenario ('kick Hezbollah while they're down') they wish to overlay on an otherwise tragic accident.
