"Anti-elite" Trump's grotesque bowing and pandering before 'mighty' AIPAC

Trump at Aipac

No sooner did I finish writing my last article inferring if not suggesting that Donald Trump may prove to be more than a thorn in the side of the ruling elite, a couple hours later I was watching his speech before the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) annual conference. I stand by my account of accurately detailing the over-the-top rush to judgment and all the mass media hype the globalists are viciously attacking in efforts to smear and defame Donald Trump. Calling him the incarnate Adolf Hitler himself is the same mode of character assassination by which Western leaders and MSM have relentlessly demonized Vladimir Putin as the pure evil dictator he is not. But after watching Trump's AIPAC speech yesterday, my wishful thinking that Trump may just be the anti-elitist champion America's been desperately needing and waiting for was disappointingly shattered.

As a journalist I do my best to report the truth as I see it. But witnessing Donald Trump paying such saccharine unholy homage throughout his entire half hour anti-Iran diatribe of pure unadulterated pandering before the almighty AIPAC dollars that have come to be the make-or-break kingpins lording over American politicians, for the first time I actually found myself embarrassed over what I'd just written.

In a déjà vu-like moment I was immediately reminded of how so many of us were taken in eight years ago by Barack Obama preying on America's hope for change, finally electing a president that we believed would do right by the American people. Many of us citizens were swept up by our first elected black president's promise to transform America from the sordid misery and untold damage of the preceding eight devastating years under the sinister Bush-Cheney regime. But once Obama took office, our sense of national betrayal began setting in when we started learning that "the hope" was all just an Obama act to get himself elected, and his true colors as a treasonous imposter were becoming clearer. Now Barack Hussein Obama will likely go down as the worst president in history for actively destroying America. It was a bitter pill to have to swallow realizing Obama was same as the old boss, representing eight more years of the same tortuous neocon madness made of the same horribly destructive policies of war and chaos - only worse in Obama's concentrated, accelerated form - than the previous criminal Republican administration.

Study says Sanders' tax Wall Street plan would raise $300bn, create millions of new jobs

Bernie Sanders supporters
© National Nurses United"Simply put, a socially productive economy, from education to healthcare to renewable energy is also a job creation engine."
New research findings from a team of progressive economists provides documentary evidence that the financial footing for Sen. Bernie Sanders visionary social change agenda is not only plausible, but would create far more socially productive jobs, as well as moving us down the road to the more humane society that is at the heart of the Sanders campaign.

In their push to vilify Sanders, Democratic Party acolytes from the media to academia have fallen in line attacking the economic foundations of his campaign for free public college tuition, Medicare for all, job creation through infrastructure repair, and other critical needs.

But a new report from the University of Massachusetts Amherst Political Economy Research Institute documents how a key Sanders proposal — a tax on Wall Street speculationwould bring at least $300 billion a year in new revenues from those who can most afford to pay it for the critical reforms the country so desperately needs.

Further, the report by Robert Pollin, lead author, and his colleagues James Heintz and Thomas Herndon, breaks new ground in documenting that the tax would be a huge boon to the economy in creating millions of new jobs in education beyond what the same spending creates on Wall Street.

Comment: It is for just such proposals that Mr. Sanders will never see the inside of the White House. The Corporate Lobby's grip on the US government is too strong. Especially when they get to count the votes.

Killary's disgusting speech to AIPAC: Give Israel more weapons, bring U.S.-Israeli cooperation to the "next level"

hillary clinton
© Saul Loeb/AFP/GettyHillary Clinton told the powerful AIPAC lobby on Monday that if elected president one of her first actions would be to invite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House.
Palestinian and human rights advocates were aghast over remarks made by Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton at the annual American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) convention on Monday, saying that her speech represented "everything that is bad" with U.S. imperialism and policy in the Middle East.

During the address, Clinton vowed to take the U.S.-Israel relationship to "the next level"—a level which seemingly includes more war and imperialism, few, if any, rights for Palestinians, and definitely no economic boycotts of Israel.


Comment: How much lower can it get? Maybe "Palestine safaris" where American citizens get to take part in IDF raids, direct some drone strikes at Palestinian homes, and torture some Palestinian children?


Striking a hawkish tone, Clinton warned the powerful lobby group against rival candidates who want to "outsource Middle East security to dictators" and "cede the mantle of leadership for global peace and security," and instead vowed even more "security and intelligence cooperation."

Comment: If watching Hillary made you sick, here's some antidote, the anti-AIPAC conference held on March 18:

Brussels terror attacks: Why the metro and the airport? Why Brussels? Why now?

Brussels terror attacks

EVERY False Flag Terror Attack Has An Explicit Purpose ...
... Especially When They Are Perpetrated At Key Landmarks In Europe


The multiple bomb blasts in Brussels are as purposeful as those terrorist attacks carried out in Paris last November.

They have been implemented by the very same group of rogue intelligence agencies and secret services to include the CIA, MI6, MOSSAD and DGSE (French SS) on behalf of their NWO masters.

Brussels is now ground zero in Europe as it was repeatedly warned by the MSM during the aftermath of the Paris terror attacks that were staged on 11/13.

Why Brussels? Why the airport? Why the Metro? Why now?

Because, Brussels is the de facto imperial capital of the European Union.

Comment: The false flag bombings in Brussels already have far-reaching reverberations and implications.

A world war has begun: We must break the silence

 nuclear eye
© beforeitsnews.comCan you see it coming? Where will it start?
I have been filming in the Marshall Islands, which lie north of Australia, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Whenever I tell people where I have been, they ask, "Where is that?" If I offer a clue by referring to "Bikini", they say, "You mean the swimsuit." Few seem aware that the bikini swimsuit was named to celebrate the nuclear explosions that destroyed Bikini island. Sixty-six nuclear devices were exploded by the United States in the Marshall Islands between 1946 and 1958 — the equivalent of 1.6 Hiroshima bombs every day for twelve years.

Bikini is silent today, mutated and contaminated. Palm trees grow in a strange grid formation. Nothing moves. There are no birds. The headstones in the old cemetery are alive with radiation. My shoes registered "unsafe" on a Geiger counter. Standing on the beach, I watched the emerald green of the Pacific fall away into a vast black hole. This was the crater left by the hydrogen bomb they called "Bravo". The explosion poisoned people and their environment for hundreds of miles, perhaps forever.

On my return journey, I stopped at Honolulu airport and noticed an American magazine called Women's Health. On the cover was a smiling woman in a bikini swimsuit, and the headline: "You, too, can have a bikini body." A few days earlier, in the Marshall Islands, I had interviewed women who had very different "bikini bodies"; each had suffered thyroid cancer and other life-threatening cancers. Unlike the smiling woman in the magazine, all of them were impoverished: the victims and guinea pigs of a rapacious superpower that is today more dangerous than ever.

I relate this experience as a warning and to interrupt a distraction that has consumed so many of us. The founder of modern propaganda, Edward Bernays, described this phenomenon as "the conscious and intelligent manipulation of the habits and opinions" of democratic societies. He called it an "invisible government".

How many people are aware that a world war has begun? At present, it is a war of propaganda, of lies and distraction, but this can change instantaneously with the first mistaken order, the first missile.

In 2009, President Obama stood before an adoring crowd in the centre of Prague, in the heart of Europe. He pledged himself to make "the world free from nuclear weapons". People cheered and some cried. A torrent of platitudes flowed from the media. Obama was subsequently awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

It was all fake. He was lying.

Comment: The ever perspicacious Pilger senses that the other shoe is about to drop.

But is global nuclear war, and thus the termination of most life on Earth, really on the cards?

This was the threat over people's heads during the Cold War. The US is all about "dusting off the Cold War playbook" in terms of containing a resurgent Russia and China. Therefore, the logic goes, nuclear conflagration is again a likely scenario.

At SOTT, we take the view that if Mutually Assured Destruction is going to happen, then it would already have happened. It hasn't. Why?

What if the Powers That Be in the material realm are unable to go that far? With Earth as a farm for the 'higher powers and principalities', would they sanction the obliteration of their most important resource (people)?

Clearly, the US imperialists have used the threat of nuclear war to control the world since WW2, but when it comes to giving that threat weight, they must remain within conventional means.

Best of the Web: Controlled chaos: How the U.S. empire infects other nations in its pursuit for total control

controlled chaos
© South Front

Comment: Professor Prav succinctly sums up the illegal, neo-colonial enterprise currently being pursued by the United States, and identifies the main means by which they are doing so. A more appropriate moniker for the phenomenon, however, was provided by Dr. Andrew Lobaczewski and fully described in his book, Political Ponerology. It is called "artificially infected pathocracy." The strategy of controlled chaos isn't fully comprehensible without grasping the psychopathology of the individuals who implement it.


Nowadays, a variety of means are being used in order to implement and extend the "controlled chaos" in the national economies and societies in the geopolitical struggle. The actor, who is using the tool, is maintaining the "controlled chaos" within the opposing country.

Steven Mann, the US foreign policy expert who took part in the developing of many of the current "controlled chaos" hotspots in various parts of the world, speaks openly of the need to use "increased level strongly-worded criticism", and causing "controlled chaos" to secure and promote the US national interests.

Steven Mann is a key figure behind the development of the "controlled chaos" theory as a means of furthering US national interests. Mann was born in 1951 and graduated from Oberlin College in 1973 with a B.A. in German. In 1974 he obtained an M.A. in German Literature from the Cornell University and has been a member of the Foreign Service since 1976. He received a Harriman Institute for Advanced Soviet Studies scholarship to obtain an M.A. in Political Science from the Columbia University in 1985-1986. He graduated from the National Defense University in Washington, D.C.

Too little, too late: U.S. admits to, and gives a hollow apology for, the MSF hospital bombing in Kunduz

obama MSF bombing
While the world's attention zeroed in on the attacks in Brussels, the U.S. made a stunning admission of responsibility for an attack of its own last year in Afghanistan: the deadly bombing of a Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF, or Doctors Without Borders) hospital in Kunduz.

"As commander," said Gen. John W. Nicholson, who now commands U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, "I wanted to come to Kunduz personally and stand before the families, and the people of Kunduz, to deeply apologize for the events."

Those "events" comprised a bombardment via airstrike on the hospital on October 3, 2015 — and left 42 people dead and 37 injured.

Comment: This is how the U.S. shows its compassion for the victims and their families:

Fundamental failure: Military admits F-35 fighter doesn't work but says it's too late stop $400B program

F-35 fighter
Officials are finally admitting the F-35 fighter has turned into a nightmare—but it's too late to stop the $400 billion program now.

Way back in the early 2000s, the U.S. military had a dream. To develop a new "universal" jet fighter that could do, well, pretty much everything that the military asks its different fighters to do.

But the dream of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter turned into a nightmare. The program is six years behind schedule and tens of billions of dollars over budget. And now, 16 years after the JSF prototypes took off for their first flights, top officials are finally owning up to the trauma the $400 billion fighter program has inflicted on America's finances and war readiness.

In a remarkable period, beginning in February and lasting several weeks, senior officers and high-ranking bureaucrats finally publicly copped to the warplane program's fundamental failures.

Response to Brussels bombings requires patience and restraint

Blanket media coverage and calls for revenge just fuel the cycle of violence
Brussels bombing wreckage
© Guardian, UK
The purpose of terrorism is not to destroy or kill. It is to pursue a political cause through the massive publicity that is attached to terrifying incidents. Today's bombs in Brussels, apparently related to the attacks in Paris last year and the capture of Salah Abdeslam last Friday, are patently intended to do just that. Merely killing passers-by serves no warlike purpose in itself. The explosive force derives from our reaction to it, from the public attention awarded to it and from the response of the political community. Publicity and response are the terrorists' "useful idiocies".

There is no way any community can make itself immune to terror attacks. Since they are random, no protection can defend that community from them. No amount of police work or surveillance, no deployment of armies or navies, let alone of missiles or nuclear weapons, can guard against them. Intelligence and surveillance can go so far, but the bombers and killers will get through any net.


Comment: The global community lacks knowledge of psychopaths and how they have created this 'civilization' largely for their own benefit, including creating 'terrorism'. This knowledge can protect and immunize society from their destructive ways.


Political terror is as old as war. From the Roman legions to Bomber Command, the instilling of horror in civilian populations has been a standard weapon. "Fighting terrorism" is as meaningless as "fighting guns".

What is not stupid is seeking to alleviate, or not aggravate, the rage that gives rise to acts of terror, and then to diminish the potency of the incident itself. The first requires a wiser foreign policy than most western nations have shown towards the Muslim world over the past decade. The second is even harder to achieve. It demands patience and restraint in publicising terrorist incidents and in responding to them.

The blanket media coverage assured for any act of violence is reckless. The media must "report", but it need not go berserk in reveling in the violence caused, as it manifestly has done to Islamic State brutality. More serious, the intention of the terrorist is clearly to shut down western society, to show liberal democracy to be a sham and to invoke the persecution of Muslims. Yet that is the invariable response of the security industry to these incidents. Convinced of its potency, it dare not admit there are some things against which it cannot protect us. So when incidents occur it jerks the knee and demands ever more money and ever more power. It must not be given them.

Comment: The powers that be have no real interest in protecting the masses of people from terrorism. The real purpose of terror is to terrorize the population into complying with more fascist laws and to make us believe that evil comes from others (i.e. Islamophobia.) Restraint and patience are needed in the media so as not to feed the rampant Islamophobia and perpetuate lies, but the truth would be a much better goal for the media in this day and age.
